Chapter 2450: Talking It Out.
In his current state, Legion couldn’t disable his Aegis Shield easily because it was being protected by the phantoms. But this still wasn’t a problem that couldn’t be solved.
Legion used the Imprison divine ability on him. This caused black spiked chains to begin restricting his movements and siphoning his energy.
Even though Legion was pouring all of their spiritual energy into the Imprison divine ability, it would still take some time to take effect. This brief time gave them the opportunity to chat.
It was the demigod that was doing most of the talking, though. And what he was doing was begging Legion.
He said, "Please stop. I will give you whatever you want."
Legion smiled at him and said, "Don’t worry. We will get everything you have after we are done with you."
If it were anyone else that made the claim, he would have scoffed. But Legion is far from ordinary. He has seen that firsthand.
This made the demigod undying lament and say, "What kind of person are you? Who are you? What have I done to offend someone like you?"
Legion doesn’t make sense to him. Legion looks like a killer, but he has seen them use many divine abilities that killers shouldn’t have.
Even if they have more than one pathway, they shouldn’t be able to use more than one pathway at a time. But Legion is using the divine abilities of at least six pathways that he knows of, and they are using different divine abilities from at least four pathways at the same time.
He can’t believe that someone like Legion exists. In fact, he is wondering if he is having a nightmare and all of this isn’t real.
But this is real, and his situation is dire. The Imprison divine ability began crippling the phantom of his divine flesh and also crippled the divine ability that they produced.
The Aegis Shield was the first divine ability to be crippled. This is because, as always, it is the one on top protecting the other divine abilities.
The disappearance of the Aegis Shield divine ability caused the divine form of the demigod to collapse. After all, the Aegis Shield is one of the foundations of the entire pathway.
Without the Aegis Shield, there can’t be an undying godclad, much less an undying godclad with a liberated divine form. So the demigod lost the physical enhancement of his divine beast form.
Even so, the demigod still had the protection of his phantom divine form. Unfortunately for him, they too began to become crippled one after the other.
This caused the demigod to begin to panic. He realized that if this continued to go on, his Restore and Revive divine ability could be crippled even without his body being shattered like last time.
In order to avoid his most important divine ability from being crippled through the phantoms of his divine beast form, he quickly disabled them.
So now he didn’t have the Aegis Shield and the Phantoms anymore. This made him suddenly become vulnerable to Legion.
But Legion didn’t take advantage of him like before. They let the Imprison divine ability continue to shackle him while they made a copy of their minds using the Mind Domination divine ability and projected it into his mind.
Their goal now was to stop the demigod from activating the Restore and Revive divine ability. In order to achieve that, they took a four-pronged approach.
The first approach was to use the Imprison divine ability to try and sever his connection with his divine flesh. The second approach was to enter his mind and prevent the demigod from using the Restore and Revive divine ability in the first place.
The third approach was to use the Disable divine ability to enhance the first approach. The fourth approach was to use the Sensory Hijack divine ability to enhance the second approach by fooling the demigod’s senses into believing that all of this was a dream and that he had nothing to worry about.
So they were using the divine abilities of the pathway of slavery, the pathway of telepathy, the pathway of error, and the pathway of telepathy again to form a physical and mental attempt to kill the demigod for good.
They were still binding the man with blood limbs and had prepared an ultimate attack on the pathway of killing to end his life again. So in summary, they were using the combined power of four pathways just to kill an undying godclad once and for all.
At the end of the day, no singular approach could work. The Imprison divine ability and the Disable divine ability could work, but their effects could all be nullified with a single use of the Restore and Revive divine ability.
It was already proven the second time that they wanted to kill the man that the Imprison divine ability and the Disable divine ability couldn’t work. The second approach also had this problem.
The Sensory Hijack and the Mind Domination divine abilities won’t work because the demigod has the danger sense divine ability.
Because of the danger sense divine ability, the demigod won’t be fooled by the Sensory Hijack and will be able to sense the danger of the Mind Domination divine ability. So he would just use the Restore and Revive divine ability to escape.
The failure of this mental approach was proven during Legion’s first attempt to enslave the demigod. The demigod had sensed the danger and avoided it with the Restore and Revive divine ability.
But while the two mental and physical approaches can’t work on their own, they can work well together to great effect.
The disable divine ability and the Imprison divine ability crippled the danger sense divine ability and other divine abilities. So the demigod didn’t notice that he was being fooled by the Sensory Hijack divine ability and didn’t notice the danger of the Mind Domination divine.
While the Sensory divine ability made him docile, the Mind Domination divine ability went into his mind and began erasing every memory pertaining to the Restore and Revive divine ability.
