Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1587: The Juicy Bait.
Salvini was smiling outwardly, but she was very nervous inside. Mihila and Ghoto, on the other hand, didn’t feel anything. They were dazed, like zombies.
His parents had long fallen under the control of Litori’s ancestor, so they followed Salvini without any fear. This is despite the fact that Origin gods capable of destroying them with a flick are around them.
It is good that they are not worried. Nothing seems to be capable of hurting them anyway. There’s an invisible layer of power around them that is protecting them.
This shield is the Supreme Power of Litori’s ancestor. This ancestor is standing back with Litori, but her power is working well despite the distance. The shield is at the limit of the void universe in terms of defense. Nothing at that level of power can destroy it, so Soverick’s parents are safe.
Despite that fact, she said to Litori, “Do you see Soverick? He is about to kill your parents.”
What Mihila and Ghoto are seeing is slightly different from reality. They know that they are looking for Soverick and have found him. They can’t see the danger around them, though. All they can see is that he is approaching them.
On the other hand, what Litori is seeing is completely different from reality. What this red- furred battle sage monkey is seeing is that they are still at their home in the Ghastorix main city, and Soverick has broken in to kill everyone.
Something like that did happen, but it wasn’t Soverick who broke into their house. It was Salvini’s ancestor that broke in. The ancestor took Litori’s place in her parent’s perception while hiding and obscuring Litori’s perception of reality.
This is why Mihila and Ghoto couldn’t capture Litori when they tried to force her to leave. It is because the Litori they were seeing had always been fake.
Litori’s ancestor let Ghaster go because she didn’t want to offend a world god by killing someone from his direct bloodline who hadn’t appeared in a long time. Litori, on the other hand, couldn’t be allowed to leave. She is too important for this plan to work to be let go.
So Litori is seeing Soverick massacring everyone, while Mihila and Ghoto believe they are on the battlefield, and Soverick is coming to give them a hug.
Litori saw Ghaster killed and felt nothing. She felt nothing when Soverick killed Mihila. But she felt sorrow when she saw Ghoto destroyed with a slap.
A voice said to her, “You are weak. That’s why you can’t protect the father you love. What will you do now?”
Litori considered that question seriously. She knew that she couldn’t do anything herself. But there is a secret technique from her bloodline that she awakened during the Unified Skill Index.
Ghaster awakened a previously unknown technique that he could use in desperation, and so did she. This skill comes at a great cost, and she has never had any need for it until now.
Her emotions were riled up, and her judgment was skewed by the manipulation of her ancestor, so she struggled for a while and did something she wouldn’t have done had she been clear-headed. She decided to use that skill now.
Meanwhile, Soverick didn’t kill Mihila and Ghoto. At least not directly. The person he wanted to kill was Salvini. The Supreme Alliance used her as bait, and he took the bait readily. He reached her and attacked her.
His hand morphed into a spear that went through her. A lord of law, no matter how talented or empowered by the title of child of the plane, cannot take the blow from a Supreme Origin god. Salvini should have died. But she didn’t die.
Salvini smiled as Soverick struck her. Soverick was also smirking. He continued to smirk as her body faded away and his fist passed through her.
Soverick said to her, “You stupid pawn.”
Salvini didn’t let his insult ruin her happiness. She still remained happy as she teleported away. What she didn’t see was the reflection of spatial waves in Soverick’s eyes and the vibrations of the strings of fate that he could see.
His punch didn’t hit her, but he has a concept for the manipulation of space. He used that concept to tamper with the teleportation of the artifact that she was wearing. The artifact was a world fragment with a Supreme Law, so the concept couldn’t stop its activation.
Salvini managed to teleport away. Unfortunately, her destination was changed mid- teleportation. So she appeared somewhere she didn’t plan for. The person she appeared beside also didn’t expect her to show up before him.
He was wearing a cloak to hide his features, so no one would know that he had come to the territory of the former Virut plane. Salvini knew she was in trouble immediately, so she appeared before the cloaked man.
She wailed within her heart, “No. No. This shouldn’t be happening. The First Sage said that Legion would be crippled forever. I was promised safety.”
The darkness in her future was closer to her than ever before. It threatened to overwhelm her. She struggled as best as she could. She activated her eyes completely with all her might.
She was looking for the slimmest chance at life. But the only thing she gained was the identity of her killer. And that’s only because he revealed it after killing her.
He stabbed her with his spear and removed the cloak from his face. His face was revealed, and on it was a smile.
He is the previous child of the plane for the Vipers. He had always wanted to kill the person who killed the genius that defeated the Vipers.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t get his wish after so long, despite receiving the help of many people, including the serpentine world god and information from Legion.
This failure continued until the era of conquest arrived, at which point the value of the child of the plane became even higher and she was protected by Supreme Origin gods. So he gave up on killing her.
