They say those who laugh last laugh best. He is laughing right now while CARNAGE is grinding its nonexistent teeth. He laughed as his body was torn apart from the inside out. Space was torn out from within him so his existence was also ripped apart.
The soul sphere warped out of existence because of his death. It went back to its anchor. The only thing left where he was was a tear in space and a dark tentacle with different colored dots of light within it. This tentacle is grasping the giant ball of light that Ragnarok was holding earlier. It pulled on this ball and tried to drag it through the tear in space.
"NEVER!" Came the angry roar of the demon god of Carnage.
Ragnarok died but that is inconsequential right now. What matters is that a third party killed him and is about to take advantage of the situation. This entity is after the special world spark. That has more than crossed the bottom line of the demon god.
It is not about to lose the only thing that it will get out of this entire endeavor to invade a plane to a third party. No one is going to take advantage of him.
It too broke through space after the tentacle. It swarmed after the tentacle past the world of manifestation and down into the law matrix. It even began to burn itself to gain enough power and speed to break the law matrix.
CARNAGE is truly giving it its all. It broke past the law matrix in its chase. But it was all for naught. Legion-7 was too fast. The world below is its domain and besides, he wasn't running away, he was pulling back his tentacle. So he was able to lose the demon god.
The tear he created in the fabric of the world collapsed and so did the tunnel that his tentacle passed through. The demon god roared in anger as the spatial tunnel collapsed.
Legion-7 found himself in the inner world of Legion-1. He heaved a sigh of relief.
"That was too close." He said.
"Do you think you lost it?" Legion-1 asked.
"I don't know," Legion-7 admitted. "There is still too much that we don't know about the powers and abilities of demon gods to know for sure."
"Hurry," Soverick said. "It is coming."
The four of them began to move after that warning. There was no speaking or questioning. There was only action. If Soverick is right, then a demon god is about to invade the inner world of Legion-1. It is a catastrophe caused by their greed.
"Greed might be the end of us." The tree father said as it threw the special world spark into the artifact that they had built.
They were working on creating the Kickstarter before the special world spark appeared in the Lumen plane. It is a powerful artifact that can destabilize the structure of a supreme law so it should be capable of destroying the world spark.
Soverick knew that the demon god was coming because the world spark left trails in the law matrix. He can see the trails himself so he believes that the demon god can see it too. The demon god is tracking its location through those trails. So they intend to destroy the object creating the trails so that they can hide the location of the inner world.
"If this fails, then all of this would have been for nothing. Far worse than that is that we will lose far more." Legion 1 said.
They smiled at that. The atmosphere seems jovial but they are all tense. They are risking a lot right now. If the Kickstarter fails to destroy the special world spark, then they are doomed. If the demon god can't actually see the trails, and the special world spark is destroyed, then they would have lost the special treasure.
If the Kickstarter succeeds in destroying the special world spark but too late for them to hide from the demon god, then they have lost the treasure and they are also doomed.
A lot could go wrong. But there is also a fourth option. It is the most risky option. They will lose the special artifact but they will gain more if the plan succeeds. This will put them in far more danger. But Soverick has planned for it so they believe that it will work.
If the plan doesn't work, then are more than doomed. Their aim for perfection might end here despite the contingency plans that they have. And it all hinges on whether CARNAGE can find them or not.
They got their answer immediately. Soverick was right, as he usually is. The demon god tracked the world spark. It broke through space into the inner world and directly appeared beside the special world spark. So it was tracking the trails. It managed to reach its target before Legion destroyed it.
CARNAGE laughed in glee as it scooped up the special world spark. "It is mine now. All mine. I will ascend. I will be glorious. I am to become death, the destroyer of worlds. World gods will quake before me."
It roared in excitement and pride even as it began to fuse with the special world spark. It is not going to waste time at all. It is not going to risk anything going wrong when the world spark is finally within its grasp.
All of its bodies in different parts of the void universe broke through space and appeared beside it immediately. They were teleported across space to join this body in evolving into a greater existence. Today, a world ender will be born.
The red cloud of blood began to grow bigger and bigger. Its state of existence rose higher and higher. There is no way that the inner world of a world beast can tolerate its size much less its power.
CARNAGE isn't even targeting them. Just the mere presence of its existence will destroy Legion-1.
