Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1385: Hopeful For Possession.

They thought about their numerous plans and plots and ultimately decided on the most important thing to do right now.

Legion-5 said, “First, we will become Origin gods. Revenge is good but Power is the best.”

–SALVINI

“He didn’t try to possess me.” She thought to herself in disappointment.

“It is either I was wrong about his ability to utilize spiritual connections for possession or he doesn’t want to kill me now.”

The communication was cut off abruptly but she wasn’t attacked by an entity trying to possess her. It was a threat she was very much aware of when she decided to communicate with the current host of LEGION directly.

If not for the assurance of one of the elders of her family who is a world god, then she wouldn’t have allowed her mind to get close to Legion at all.

It was the process of getting that world god to set up a trap in her mind that delayed her. She expected it and knew immediately when Jarkon appeared in front of Legion. But she had to be sure that she wouldn’t lose her life before she initiated the communication.

“I hope he infected Jarkon. I will be able to get the ancestor of the bloodline of Justice on my side too. That will make two world gods to help me in my fight against this disease.”

She understands that she needs help and the best help she can get is from world gods. But world gods are very difficult to get help from. The problem is perspective. World gods don’t care much about familial bonds. Instead, they will ask themselves, “So what if Salvini dies?”

If the answer is “Her death doesn’t matter.” Then they won’t help her.

It is not being callous. If her death won’t affect them while on the other hand, moving to save her will cost them time and energy, then it is smart to simply watch her die. If they miss her, which is nearly impossible, they can create a clone of her who thinks and acts like her.

World gods can create everything they need. When combined with the fact that they don’t need her for anything, it makes it difficult for them to care about anything that they can create themselves. So it took the benefit of acquiring something unique like Legion to get her elder to set a trap within her mind.

That elder is the descendant of a sage like her but that wasn’t enough for her to help her for nothing.

It was already very difficult to contact the world god, but it was far more difficult to get the world god to help. However, her plan has failed now that Legion didn’t possess her. It means that the world god will be disappointed.

She can only sigh and move on. What she is especially glad about recently is that despite the difficulty of getting their help, she has managed to get Ghastorix on her side. It took saving something important and dear to him to get him to help but she succeeded.

She is even looking forward to getting the ancestor of the lion of justice on her side too. That willful and determined person who got lucky enough to become an Origin god and even world god will not sit by as his descendant is enslaved.

“The Lion of justice might allow anything to occur but Slavery is his bane. I hope Legion has not disappointed me.”

She will know if her bait worked soon. The lion of justice himself will contact her. After all, she was the one who sent Jarkon and the others on a mission that led to their death and enslavement.

The lion of justice will question her about the cause of the possession of his descendants or their slavery. He is sure to be angry. So all she has to do is be helpful by turning his wrath on Legion.

If the descendants with the bloodline of justice can track Legion down, then the ancestor can do so much more. It is something that she is looking forward to.

It is also why the squad she sent after Legion was never going to be saved. They were bait so they were doomed right from the start. Salvini was never going to ruin her plan by interfering and doing something like stopping them from becoming slaves.

If it is any consolation to Jarkon, it is that she isn’t exactly proud of her scheme to use him as bait. Unfortunately, she hasn’t had any other options because Legion hasn’t given her any other avenue for her to take advantage of.

She knows the battle sage monkeys that have been possessed in the plane due to her title as child of the plane but she can’t prove the possession to others because Legion could leave his vessels without a trace.

No one can tell the cause of the death apart from the obvious traces of a disease. Only world gods might be able to notice the peculiarities but they can’t enter the plane. These difficulties have made it impossible to get the racial council to help her in fighting Legion. But that will change if the descendants of a world god that hates injustice and slavery get possessed by Legion.

Someone knocked on the door of her bunker as she was thinking. A voice said from beyond the door, “The guest you asked for is here to see you.”

“Bring her in.” She said.

She is currently in a heavily fortified bunker. It is because she fears for her life. There are a lot of people who want her dead. Soverick is just one person on that list. Most of these people are the ones who wanted to kill Soverick when he was the child of the plane.

They were the ones that planned to kill him during the Calamity Of The child of the plane. They planned the events of the Unified Skill Index during the third challenge. So they are not amateurs in their attempts to kill the child of the plane.
