GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1721: Error = Weakness.



Legion-1 continued, "It will be bad if we lose control of Chaos energy. Unfortunately, nothing can be done about it currently. Which is why I recommend that we continue this experiment to learn how the void universe will deal with Chaos energy."

They agreed with that. So Aeternus waited for another 37 years by the black hole. This time the change was huge. They finally got to see how the void universe was going to resolve the issue with Chaos energy.

A darkness appeared and disappeared instantly. Aeternus was gone by the time it left. He had been struck with so much force that he was obliterated instantly. They saw it coming and yet couldn't stop it.

Legion-4 chuckled, "That is right. The way to deal with Chaos energy is to attack and destroy the source."

He was joking, but Legion-1 took him seriously. He asked, "But what is the source of Chaos energy?"

That got them thinking. Legion-9 proffered an answer. "It might have something to do with the difficulty of fusing with the Law of Chaos."

Aeternus added, "First of all, I am not strong enough to do that. Secondly, I am not going to do that even if I were strong enough. So there's no way to find out if the source of Chaos energy is down below."

Legion-8 agreed, "Aeternus is right. It is too dangerous. We are already too entwined with Chaos energy. The solution is not becoming more entwined with it."

Soverick suggested, "Besides, we are not powerful enough to destroy the source of Chaos energy if we can find it. I guess the only thing we can do is learn more by performing more experiments. I propose that Legion-5 use his Cosmic force in tandem with Chaos energy this time around."

Legion-1 added, "We should also test the power of our sparks of power and sparks of consciousness against it."

Soverick agreed. "The more the merrier."

So they began a series of tests that pitted the might of Chaos energy against the might of the void universe. It caused the clones to die many times while they learned very little about how to subdue Chaos energy. But they did learn a lot about the True Law of Order and Chaos.

They are not sure if that is a good thing anymore since comprehending those laws might backfire on them. But the knowledge they gained from these two True Supreme Laws is helping them make outstanding progress in the creation of their own Supreme Law.

It is like they are watching a fight between two powerful entities. Learning the moves of the two of them, copying it, and committing it to memory is bad. But it served as raw material to inspire them to be better fighters themselves.

The clone that enjoyed the most from these lessons was Legion-8. He was built to be an alternative of Chaos created with the laws of order, so the interaction between the two Supreme Laws is all the inspiration they need to build his Supreme Law.

It will be a Supreme Law with previously unknown aspects. Already, they have found infection. It is the foundation of the Supreme Laws of demon gods and world enders. Now they have been able to define the aspects Corruption and Corrosion and add it to the Supreme

Law.

Corrosion is based on error. It is a process that occurs due to the internal inconsistencies and imperfections of a system. Over time, these internal inconsistencies will erode the system and destroy its structural integrity.

Corrosion is involuntary, inescapable, and inevitable. They can see a lot of potential within it. As long as something is not perfect, it will fall to Corrosion over time.

As for Corruption, it is a detrimental process caused by a deliberate and external influence. Corruption is not natural at all. It is a pervasion of the natural order of things, which means it can be avoided. It also means that it can be hastened.

Corrosion, on the other hand, cannot be affected by an external influence easily. It is after all, based on an intrinsic property of error. Error is the major factor that affects it. The more imperfect something is, the faster corrosion will bring it down.

But if they can control Corruption and use it to increase the amount of error within a system, then they can indirectly affect Corrosion. And if they can control Corrosion itself, they can speed up the rate at which the system is eroded.

They can see all of these in the interaction of Chaos energy with the dead Origin god. Chaos energy is corrupting the shattered Origin god, and because it is not perfect, it is eroding and will die completely after some time.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This has also given them a way to deal with Chaos energy. If they can achieve perfection, or at least control their imperfection by limiting it, they will be able to slow down the influence of Chaos energy.

It is not something they haven't done before. It is how Aeternus survived his first exposure to Chaos energy. He changed his soul using laws to become immune to a certain level of corruption of Chaos energy.

This brought them to the Law of Order. This true law is far from perfect. The only advantage it has is its overwhelming power and the ability to freeze the information state of an object.

The aspect of information, from what they can tell, is the ability to transform everything into laws or at least quantify them as data.

One can do a lot of things with the aspect of information. It has the potential to grant power over everything one knows completely and is able to quantify into data.

They don't know if that is possible, but they know that they can freeze themselves in order to become immune to change. This will eliminate the power of corrosion completely and will let a system last forever.

Unfortunately, there is Chaos energy and its control of entropy, corruption through entropy, and its ability to increase corrosion through corruption. All of these have shown why attempting to be immutable is not perfection.
