Legion (レギオン) is an unprecedented lifeform consisting of multiple souls, such as Minuma Hitomi. Legion is referred to as they/them, or sometimes it.[2] Though some would disagree, they are a fully-fledged human who can acquire jobs.[3]
Appearance[]
As a living lump of flesh, or rather their original form, Legion appeared as a sphere, around 3 meters in diameter. They could be described as a slime made of flesh, since it contains no organs, bones, skin, hair, nor any slime-like core. Instead it is merely made of a dozen flesh mannequins entwined around each other, with human limbs and heads protruding from its surface.[2][3] From its outline one may recognize head shapes that share features with the souls of its previous lives, such as the Eighth Guidance members and Minuma Hitomi.[2]
Legion can change their size and form at will through the Size Alteration and Form Alteration skills.[3] As Legion grows stronger, its size also increases. Though this change is not very apparent due to its Size Alteration skill.[1]
Legion usually floats, but it can also move around by rolling across the ground.[2] Many are frightened by their appearance, despite them never having crossed swords with anyone in war.[1]
Personality[]
"Their personalities, or rather, their minds, are… extremely difficult to comprehend. They have shared memories and senses, so it is apparently similar to Master’s clones that he often creates through Out-of-body Experience, though they all possess different personalities." "According to Enma, one of Legion’s personalities, “One person is everyone, and everyone is one person.”"[3]
"It seems that Pluto generally takes leadership of them most of the time, but this apparently does not mean that she is the center of their personalities. In fact, even when her personality separates from the rest with the Long-distance Control Skill, the remaining personalities of Legion can continue functioning with no problems in her absence."[3]
Background[]
Zuruwarn intercepted the souls of the Eighth Guidance members and Minuma Hitomi, whom were hammered into one body, when Vandalieu failed in trying to recreate Darcia's body with a disappearing silver. In the process, the souls were partially fused with one another. Due to having been reincarnated, its mental age has regressed somewhat and its memories and knowledge were damaged a little.[2]
Powers and Abilities[]
Legion has also inherited various abiliites from its previous lives. From the Eighth Guidance it has inherited some death-attribute spells. From Minuma Hitomi it has inherited her Gazer ability that can predict the future. "However, because its body is too different from any of its previous bodies, it is likely difficult to make use of all of these skills."[2]
Legion would also possess Rodcorte's divine blessing, if Hitomi's soul had not been moved from his circle of transmigration to Vida's system, alongside the other members. However, it still possesses the divine protection of multiple other gods, so it's highly likely to become a powerful being.[2]
Thanks to Isis' ability to conduct surgery, they are loved despite their frightening appearance. Thanks to this, they received the Holy Flesh-wife title, which made it easier for them to perform medical care. Legion plays an important role with their teleportation and surgery skills.[1]
They've spent their spare time leveling in dungeons, growing to a rank 7 High Legion. After battling against 'Light-speed Sword' Rickert, they grew to a rank 8 Great Legion. They've also gained Encroachment Fusion, though they've decided to not test the unique skill carelessly, since it's still unclear how it works.[1]
Since Legion's body is a failed product of trying to recreate a dark elf's body, it possesses Magic Resistance, and its status appears similiar to Vida's Progeny.[2] Legion has also overcome their weakness by acquiring fire and lightning resistance.[3] They acquired the skills by repeatedly recovering from damage received through flame and lightning treatment.[1]
Pluto possesses the throwing skill, but still has no control over her throws, because (1) the objects they throw are irregularly-shaped masses of flesh that meets heavy air resistance, and (2) her unstable posture when protruding from Legion's body. In this way, it seems that the skill's bonuses have their limits.[1]
Although they keep growing with each rank, this growth is not apparent due to their Size Alteration skill. They're also training on using the skill "without separating to act with the form of a single person."[1] Since they're merely made of flesh without any core, they have no vital spots. Additionally, they possess a tremendous amount of vitality and astounding regenerative abilities, that made Luciliano wonder if Legion's creators had surpassed the goddess of life and love herself.[3]
They cannot control spirits of the dead like Vandalieu, but can recognize their presence and communicate with them.[4]

Trivia[]
- Vandalieu is not the one who caused Legion's birth. He merely laid the foundations. The one's mainly responsible for Legion's birth were Ricklent, Zuruwarn and God (Origin).[3]
- Luciliano theorises that Legion may reproduce in the same way as a slime.[3]
- Legion received Jeryubufan's Divine Protection due to their physical constitution, but her protection has a hilarious side effect.[5]
