?1152 A Side Project Vs The Main Project.
It may be unfair to compare the giants of order to Legion-5 but the Tree father didn't change his stance. "My point still stands."
"What they will achieve will be good enough."
"You have a point." The Tree father conceded. "They will have at least the power of a Sovereign of law. That will be easy to achieve. It will be very difficult to get them stronger than that though."
"That will depend on the quality of the Origin Stigmata. The era of conquest can start anytime so we better get started."
The two of them brainstormed while working on the plan. Other clones joined in from time to time but most of them were busy with other things. This project has large implications for Legion but it is just a side project.
It is a side project because it doesn't compare to what Soverick is currently working on and it is not their highest priority. So most of the clones are helping Soverick with the immense calculations he needs for the 9-axis law matrix he is making.
Soverick has made his concept and just like Ragnarok, he became a Sovereign of law easily. It was easy to acquire control of his concept with his powerful soul and knowledge of laws. In fact, his breakthrough to Sovereign of law was instantenous after he infused his concept with soul force.
The addition of his better eyesight and the natural treasure that is his 9 golden orbs of momentum as prototypes for the shards of power has made building the world fragment easier to do. But it is only easier. It is by no means easy to do. Not by a long shot.
A single law matrix is already difficult to build without a supreme law. 9 intertwined law matrices that don't reject each other but enhance each other is a tall and difficult order. That's why any available mental prowess of the clones is dedicated to assisting Soverick in creating the mental schematics for the world fragment.
No one can assist Helios and the Tree father in their ambitious endeavors. If not for the fact the sealed Origin gods can be used by the clones even if the two of them fail to empower the giants, they wouldn't be allowed to spend precious time and resources on them.
The two of them are fine on their own. They are more than enough for this. Sometimes they argue and disagree on some things but they make progress faster than two people working together should.
They have access to the same information but they see things from different points of view. One is a special Celestial that isn't in the realm and the other is a star with a weak connection to the plane as the child of the plane. This grants them different perspectives on everything.
Their thought process is different. Plus they see what the other can't see which helps them to paint a better picture than if they were working alone. They are the embodiment of the saying that two good heads are better than one.
The system that they are working on will be perfectly suited to Giants because of the weakness of Giants. Their divine ability has limited their potential. But that's only because the law of order doesn't want to accept external influence on them. However, the law of order is perfectly compatible with Origin gods.
Each Origin god is a living concept and is fused with the law matrix. In this way, they resemble other concepts produced by the interaction of the laws derived from the law of order. So it won't be a problem for them to create a Stigmata that substitutes demons for the sealed Origin gods.
If they succeed, and they will, then none of the giants of order will die during the process of accepting this power due to a lack of rejection. The giants of order will feel a little burden but their existence won't be stressed to the point where it breaks because the law matrix of the void universe is already supporting the Origin gods.
The law matrix will carry the origin gods for the giants of order while they use their divine ability to take advantage of the origin gods. Legion will help them achieve this by fashioning a rune from their divine ability that will siphon power from the sealed Origin gods.
This system will be many times better than the previous demorgorg one but it still has some limits. For one, the supply of origin gods is more limited than the supply of demons. Besides, they might not be willing to capture more Origin gods because of the prohibitive cost of making the seals and divine energy.
So the number of giants of order they can empower will be reduced. Even their plan to make it so that multiple giants of order can use a single origin god for power will not overcome that problem.
But the giants of order with this system will be much stronger. Even if the two of them do their absolute worst in making the Stigmata, the giants of order will all have power that is at least at the level of a five-star demorgorg like Hak. That means the minimum power that they will get is equivalent to that of titans of law. So this system beats the demorgorgs in quality.
The other limit is that no other race will be able to use this system so Legion won't be able to use it for any other race that they gain control of. There is no solution for this. The advantage is that this system is completely safe so no giant of Order will be wasted for its use.
"First we use the demorgorg system to weed out the weak. Then we select the most successful of the demorgorgs to bear the Origin gods."
"We should combine the two systems for the maximum efficacy of the Origin god system."
"It is a good idea. The demorgorg system will make sure that only those that can draw the maximum power from the origin god system will be used."

A/N: Think of their Origin Stigmata project as a side quest while gaining controll of the shard of power is the main quest.
