Those with a divine ability can refuse to follow the path of their divine ability and therefore avoid the difficulty. At least they will be able to use their divine ability as a reference point to create a good image. But they can't eat their cake and have it.
However, Ragnarok is greedy. He intends to use another image for his divine ability. It should have been impossible but he didn't encounter this difficulty. The law of devouring within his divine ability began to operate at full force thanks to the potential of Monarchs.
He has 9 hearts of Carnage for 9 laws. Any resistance of his divine ability for the image he used was overcome by the potential. A whirlpool appeared in his domain that absorbed all the essence and used it to augment itself according to the image he had for it.
The huge amount of potential did more work in creating the concept than all the 9 clones combined. At one point, they didn't have to do anything apart from maintaining the image. 8 laws fused in a ring around the law of devouring used as the dominant law. Hence the concept of the bottomless abyss was formed.
He said calmly. "It worked."
The breakthrough went without a hitch. He became a titan of law with a concept. If he were any other titan of law they would be ecstatic and jumping for joy that they survived the process and have become more powerful. But he is not a normal titan of law. This is the second time he is making a concept and he wasn't worried for his life.
He said to the other clones. "I guess I am the first titan of law."
Legion-5 was quick to douse his pride. "Get in line. I was the first Sovereign. A titan of law is still lacking."
"You cheated. You stole your power."
Legion-5 didn't feel guilty about that. "And so did you."
That made Ragnarok give up. He cheated too and he did steal the hearts of Carnage. Even now the benefits of the hearts of Carnage are not over.
Ragnarok noticed it immediately. "It seems it isn't over yet. The body of law is about to form."
He said with anticipation, "I wonder what it could be."
He is looking forward to the side effect of his breakthrough. It is something that he has never seen before. Other titans of law won't experience this because they didn't rely on the potential of Monarchs to breakthrough. Only something strange and unique like this can get him excited.
A red cocoon formed around him. His form and features changed within the cocoon. No one noticed the changes happening to him. They didn't even pay attention to him because they were busy fighting each other. They turned the plane upside with Carnage but the demon god of Carnage was not happy.
Ragnarok finished his evolution but he didn't come out of the cocoon. There is nothing important enough for him to risk his life for him in the plane. He can kill Primogenitors and he will get more boosts to his power and some more stats. But the plane is too dangerous right now. He would rather consume Origin energy to grow his stats in safety than risk becoming the target of the Rinoz who is wreaking havoc all over the plane with the ghouls.
It is just not worth it to prowl around the plane when the population of ghouls has experienced a boost and when he can sit quietly and grow stronger on his own.
He stayed hidden and out of mind while he continued to grow stronger by consuming Origin energy. Meanwhile, he is engaging his mind to help other clones that need it. Sometimes they need it to comprehend a law quickly. Aeternus and Helios are the ones who need this help the most in that aspect.
Sometimes, he helps Soverick to figure out how to build the artifact that they are working on. This hidden state continued for more than a thousand years.

THE CURRENT STATE OF LEGION.
Ragnarok stagnated but Legion continued to progress. Helios gained access to cosmic energy. The cosmic energy made Legion-1 and Aeternus grow stronger. But the two of them reached a plateau.
Aeternus needs to comprehend the law of Chaos to grow stronger while Legion-1 needs a supreme law. Only Legion-7 doesn't have a limit to how much stronger it can get on cosmic energy. Even Legion-8 is not so gluttonous with cosmic energy.
Legion-7 has come a long way since he gained his freedom. It likes consuming laws and authority. The invocation of the law matrix and its subsequent activation of cosmic energy made cosmic energy bind with his existence the way cosmic energy binds with law fragments to form Authority. So Legion-7 became a living Authority. As if its existence as a spiritual entity was not weird enough.
His situation as a living Authority makes it that Legion-7 doesn't follow either the path of perfection or divinity. He is an abomination that way.
The Authority of a lord of law evolves into the Authority of a king of law when a law has been fully comprehended. So Authority grows stronger the more laws are comprehended. Legion-7 has the same growth requirements as Authorities. He grows stronger the more a law is comprehended. Except multiple laws also make him stronger. Soverick comprehended a lot of laws which made Legion-7 grow to absurd extents.
Legion-7 could continue to grow stronger the more laws it comprehends or devours. He cam also consume the seed of power of Sovereigns to grow stronger. Consuming items that are supposed to be indestructible made Legion-7 nearly indestructible too. Even world gods will have a hard time destroying him.
Legion-7's spiritual existence makes him become a special connection between all the clones of Legion. This connection is also one that is capable of cheating death by anchoring the soul to the world even after death. It is what immortal power paragons of the Viper race do to gain their immortality.
