GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

483 Chaos And Order. Creation Or Destruction.

Aeternus felt pain immediately as Chaos energy bypassed his soul defense and entered his soul. It began wreaking havoc as it is wont to do. It reminded him of his days as an unborn fledgling. The pain was that bad or maybe even worse. His Chaos energy has grown just like he has. It is currently in the divine rank with enough power to erode Authority itself so his powerful soul is not immune to its effects yet.

Chaos energy tried to gush into his soul without restriction so he had to funnel it through a narrow path eroded in his soul to the soul sphere. The pain is worse than having something sharp used to pierce his soul. It threatened to cloud his mind but he held on with the promise that his suffering shouldn't take long. The test shouldn't last more than a few seconds before he has to shut off the flow of Chaos energy. So he had to endure for a short while before the pain is over.

The energy passed through the soul sphere to Legion-1 and began corroding his soul too. Legion-1's soul is much more resistant to it due to his fusion with a concept so he can handle the corrosion for a longer time while maintaining his full mental prowess. It is more than enough since they only need a short time to observe the changes that will occur between the interaction of chaos energy and Helios. Everything is going as well as they planned so they proceeded.

They confirmed that he is able to shut down the flow of Chaos energy at any time before they proceeded. Legion-1 allowed the chaos energy to go to Helios and only Helios' soul sphere. That's when things went wrong. Helios imploded immediately. It happened too fast to be stopped.

There was a snap. That's the sound the implosion made. The space Helios was occupying suddenly became void of matter due to his volume reducing so much and so quickly. It occurred in an instant. Matter from the surrounding rushed to fill the artificial void. And the effect of the implosion on the environment ended there but it had far-reaching consequences for Legion.

Chaos can be anything. It is matter and energy in an excitable and primordial state. It can do anything and it is ready to do anything at the next opportunity to do it. Order on the other hand is control. Order is the system of rules that gives Chaos form and leads to creation.

The two of them interact in the world occasionally. This reaction doesn't occur peacefully. There is always a fight for supremacy. Order has to be stronger than Chaos or Chaos will destroy Order. There will be no creation of Chaos is stronger, only destruction is possible.

The interaction of Order and Chaos can lead to either destruction or creation, but there's a state in between. A state of infinite possibilities. Anything is possible with creation while only one thing is possible with destruction. But as long as one or the other has not occurred, literally, anything can happen.

A potent supply of infinite Chaos met with a very powerful source of the Authority of Order within Helios and created a singularity of infinite possibilities. Anything can happen, but destruction is more likely. The input of Chaos is stronger than the combined leverage of the fragments of order, divine power, and domain of order that he has within him. So Chaos is winning the interaction. The outcome of such an interaction is destruction.

In fact, destruction was supposed to happen but Helios's soul is eternal. It was made eternal by the universe. It means his soul should last forever as long as the universe exists. The hurdle of immortality isn't much to a singularity of possibilities. An eternal soul can become a fragile soul. All the eternal soul means is that it will take the singularity some effort to overcome its immortality before it can destroy it.

So the singularity targeted the source of the immortality which is the void universe itself. The void universe is not so easy to change. It will need more effort to override Helios's immortal soul but it is certainly possible.

The effort the singularity needed to achieve the destruction of Helios' soul turned what should be an instantaneous state of possibilities into a prolonged state of possibilities. It allowed another thing to influence it.

Helios is not some lone entity. He is part of a collective. Something happening to him will affect the others. The effect it has on others can be good or bad. In this situation it is bad. It is extremely bad.

The implosion had affected the other clones too. A void suddenly appeared in their mental space and consciousness. They went from being 9 to 8 in an instant. Their existence tried to fill up this void. Origin energy from Soverick, Chaos energy from Aeternus, and Divine energy from the tree father rushed beyond their control into the singularity like a flood. It is like adding fuel to a fire. It has a very bad effect.

The singularity became strengthened by the addition of copious amounts of energy. It was supposed to destroy Helios and wink out of existence once it loses its foundation but the addition prolonged its existence. Now it can do more.

It doesn't help that the supply of Origin energy and Chaos energy is infinite. It means the singularity can do as much damage as the limited supply of divine energy can sustain and it is a lot. A Celestial has an infinite supply of divine energy after all and the tree father has been stockpiling divine energy.

The damage won't be widespread because of the limited divine energy from Legion-9 but it will be total damage. Guntu has torn a hole through a plane with his concept of destruction before. This singularity is greater than a mere concept. Its destruction is total. It will tear a much deeper hole through the fabric of the universe in its attempt to overcome the concept of the immortality of an eternal soul.
