Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1384: Not About Revenge.
They would like to know what this useful information is about but they are not optimistic about getting to find out.
Legion-5 stated.
“Let me guess. You are not going to tell me what it is at all unless I help you with your problem.”
“You are right. Just the information about its existence is valuable enough. If you know what it is about then you might be able to find it on your own so I can’t tell you. But I am certain it is enough to exchange for my life.”
“Young lady. I already said that I am not interested in fairytales. You should leave if you don’t have something tangible for me.”
He is tempted to acquire the information but he is not willing to make that offer. Legion might not gain anything important by killing her, but they might gain something by pressuring the first sage.
They hate Salvini and would like to pay her back for her participation in the first sage’s scheme against Soverick. However, they are not aiming for revenge simply for the sake of revenge. That’s just a waste of time and energy. They would rather attack when they have something to gain from it and their main aim is the first sage.
They are aiming to target the first sage through her. They are not willing to give up that plan for something that they are not certain will be helpful.
It is already risky to make a deal with someone as cunning and scheming as Salvini. To make a deal for something intangible and unknown in return from her is practically asking to be cheated.
She made another offer.
“I have something else. I can get you a world fragment.”
“Is that so?” he asked in genuine surprise.
He is not surprised that she can get access to a world fragment since she has a lot of world gods as relatives but he is surprised that she is willing to go this far for her freedom.
He asked her a lot of questions, “And how will I get this world fragment? Would I have to meet you? When will that be? And who is the world god whose Supreme law is used to make the world fragment?”
“There is a slight problem. I can only acquire it for you during the era of conquest.”
His interest died down immediately. He wasn’t going to accept the world fragment in the first place since he couldn’t use it without the permission of the world god and the world god will be able to track him through it. But the fact that she was not going to offer it to them immediately made him feel insulted.
So he waved his hand at Jarkon. A hand of world power formed and crushed the battle sage monkey into meat paste. All of his hopes and dreams died immediately. Salvini’s connection was also cut off.
“I must say that I expected something better from her,” Legion-5 said in disappointment.
“I think it is high time that we pressure her.”
“Yes. Let us leak more information about the Virut plane to the child of the plane of the Vipers. That should make things difficult enough for her to teach her a lesson.”
The Vipers haven’t taken their defeat during the Unified Skill Index lying down. Their child of the plane is especially dedicated to getting revenge for his humiliation. They found the planar portal of the Virut plane and have been attacking it for a while now.
The Vengeful Viper Child Of The Plane didn’t give up when he heard that the one who humiliated him had died. He is even more bent on fighting Salvini since she was able to defeat Soverick who he thought highly of.
He is not the only one with a bone to pick with the Virut plane either. A certain world god is not happy with the first sage and has been helping the Vipers so that they will take revenge for him.
This world god didn’t even have to try too hard to convince the council of Vipers to act against the Virut plane. The fact that the battle sage monkeys wiped out all the Vipers in their plane has angered the Vipers and roused them into action. They want to repay the genocide perpetrated on their race.
Legion is aware of this situation because Soverick has been keeping tabs on the Virut plane and their child of the plane. But they didn’t take advantage of the situation because they didn’t want to offend the first sage yet.
That has changed since they have already offended the first sage with what they did with his world fragment. They can’t go back on that so what’s one more grievance?
Their hands are mostly tied because they promised not to tamper with the Virut plane. That means they can only help another plane if they want to pressure her.
This is the most effective method despite the fact that they have the right to fight and kill Salvini. They can’t use that right because they can’t get to her easily ever since Salvini hid and protected herself.
She has a bunker that is watched all year round by numerous Origin gods and floating fortresses. The combined might of Legion can kill her despite her preparations but they are not willing to make the sacrifice yet. They would rather grow stronger and plan better to achieve a clean victory.
Besides, it won’t do if they get rid of her now. It would be better to do so when the plane needs her. That will pressure the first sage more.
The first sage claims that the plane doesn’t need a child of the plane. All they need to do is change that. If they assist the Vipers in pressuring the Virut plane, then the plane might need Salvini. Then getting rid of Salvini will affect the plane and the first sage indirectly.
They would have kept to their promise not to damage the plane but succeeded in damaging the plane. It is the best plan for them since it is more efficient and effective at using Salvini and the plane to affect the first sage.
