GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

He is the first of the clones to become a Sovereign of law so he is the first to enjoy the benefits of the complete body of law. His body made it as if he could move the world just by willing it. It is not so but he still decided to relish that unique feeling of being at the top of the world.

He sighed in pleasure. "The power of the world is at my fingertips."

The body of law is a physique gained at the titan of law stage. It is a result of the waste of essence during the breakthrough to a titan of law and during the duration that the entity is a titan of law.

The body of law is both a good thing and a bad thing. It is a bad thing because it is created from the essence of an entity that is lost during the process of becoming a titan of law.

Be it the eruption of a single star or the collision of multiple stars, as long as the breakthrough is not instantaneous, there is a loss of essence. The lost essence escapes the origin core into the body. The body changes into the body of law due to this and the titan of law becomes the source of a bloodline that can bestow a small amount of law fragments to the descendants.

This bloodline is called a titans bloodline and it bestows an incomplete body of law onto descendants but it dies off after several generations of inheritance. It is more powerful than the bloodline of a transcendent but less powerful than the eternal bloodline of an Origin god.

The longer the breakthrough takes, the more essence is lost and the higher the percentage of the body of law. As titans of law, the more they use their concepts, the more essence is lost and the higher the percentage of the body of law gets. So the body of law is a result of a bad thing. The higher it is, the closer the titan of law is to death.

But the body of law is also good because it is what enables titans of law to wield world power. The soul body is incapable of it. But every single movement or action of the body of law compels the power of the world to empower the titan of law.

The body of law of titans of law is incomplete because it is still changing and because the titan of law hasn't gained full control of their concept yet. Even so, the emotions and thoughts of a titan of law can rile up world power. It makes their offensive ability formidable.

The body of law also makes the defensive ability of titans of law to be formidable because, unlike the soul body which has no defense against external law fragments, the body of a titan of law has a lot of law fragments within it that make up a large percentage of the body.

These law fragments resist external law fragments and hence increase the defense of titans of law against law attacks. So a body of law with a 20% fusion rate created as a result of the leakage of 2 million law fragments into the body will be able to repel any attack that contains less than 2 million law fragments without taking any damage.

And more than that, because the law fragments already occupy a portion of their body, there is a reduction in the amount of damage that external law fragments can possibly do to them. For example, a body of law with a 20% fusion rate will only have 80% of the body that can be damaged at all.Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

The remaining 20% cannot be damaged no matter how powerful the attack of law is. Even a concept can't damage that 20% with law fragments. Only brute force or the physical effects of the collision of attacks can damage that 20%.

But then there's a third defensive effect of the body of law. Because of the presence of law fragments in the body, the body becomes comparable to Origin weapons. That means it will gain the durability of weapons. So no matter the race, unless they are elementals, as long as they become titans of law, they will not be lacking in physical durability.

A titan of law with a high fusion rate like Mihila can take a lot of beating. And even when she took more beating than her body could handle, her body would rather crack than bend or be deformed.

So the body of law is a good thing because the higher the percentage it is, the more world power can be moved, the more augmentation they will receive from the world, and the more physical and magical defense they will have. Unfortunately, the higher it is, the weaker their concept gets and the closer they are to death.

This good and bad situation won't stop until the titan of law becomes a Sovereign. The body of law becomes unchanging and complete. It also stops being a bad thing. Instead, the power of the Sovereign is split into internal and external. Their seed of power is internal while the power of the world is external.

The inverse relationship between the seed of power and the body of law remains though. A high body of law indicates a weak seed of power and vice versa. But due to the perfect control of the Sovereign, the power of the two of them can be combined perfectly or used individually so there is no harm to the Sovereign of law. That means the power of the Sovereign is completely united once again.

The divide between internal and external power then gets reconciled when the Sovereign becomes an Origin god. The body of law containing the fusion of soul, body, and essence, fuses with the Origin core containing the seed of power. They become one again so there is no loss whatsoever.
