GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1544 Better Late Than Never.

Soverick admitted to himself, "I will admit that the first sage fooled me. He made me swear not to harm the plane. I foolishly believed that he cared about the plane. I focused on that instead of wondering why he would use a weak person as child of the plane."

He feels like a fool now. All of this time, he has believed that harming the Virut plane would affect the first sage. That's why he leaked some information to the Vipers. But he was wasting his time doing that. The one person he should have been focused on was Salvini, but he thought she was useless. Now he understands why the first sage wanted someone from his lineage to be the child of the plane. If he were still the child of the plane, he would have too much power in his hands and be difficult to control. Soverick lamented, "As usual, the first sage beats me in the aspect of foresight."

Legion-7 didn't agree. He said, "You are not worse than him. He only used his advantage of age and power to bully you. You were a king of laws back then. Things are different now."

Soverick still wasn't optimistic. "Even so, it might be too late already. I bet the first sage has made plans for this very moment. I know I would."

Helios spoke, "Better late than never."

Legion-7 buttressed him, "Agreed."

Soverick chuckled and said, "At least, I will do something, so that the first sage won't get away with his deceit so easily."

The Virut plane is no more, just like the Zargoth plane. That means Legion's plan to use the Zargoth plane as their base can't be used anymore. So he is here to fetch Salvini to replace what was lost. However, she is currently locked up in a floating war fortress surrounded by many other war fortresses. There are many Origin gods in those war fortresses, so it wouldn't be easy to get to her.

"I was right. The first sage is truly prepared."

He is unhappy. But he has also accepted the fact that he was played. He is also willing to move on to destructive acts since productive acts are not going to be useful. So he sent out information about her location to the public war channel of the realm. He can tell through his visions of the future that there is no way he will get Salvini. It is bad news, and he should be unhappy about it. But Soverick just smiled.

He is unhappy. But he has also accepted the fact that he was played. He is also willing to move on to destructive acts since productive acts are not going to be useful. So he sent out information about her location to the public war channel of the realm. "There is a child of the plane in a war fortress at coordinates 1827.923.8934.26…"

Then he stood back to watch. He thought smugly to himself, "If I can't have her, then no one should. At the very least, no one should be able to use her."

As it is, he can't gain the title anymore. He is already an Origin god so he can't be a child of the plane even if he kills her. But that is not going to stop him from trying to kill her. If he can't kill her, he will try to make her useless or make her difficult to use.

This is not about doing something beneficial to Legion anymore. This is purely about revenge. He wants to punish the first sage and Salvini. And thanks to the virtual network that the realm lord created for swift communication in this realm war, he doesn't need to do much to make things very difficult for her. If it was in the past when he didn't have foresight, he might have tried to get Salvini. She has done well to protect herself by surrounding herself with powerful machines and Origin gods. Unfortunately, those things can't stop him. So he would have tried to get her. But that in itself is the trap. It is clear that she or the first sage expected him to come. It is one thing if she doesn't know that he is responsible for the destruction of the dragon home plane, but it is not excusible that the first sage doesn't know.

If the first sage does know and yet, arranged for such a shoddy defense, then it must be a trap. It is a trap he wouldn't have noticed without foresight or his great eyesight. But now he can see the Supreme Origin god battle sage monkey hiding within the Leviathan Salvini is hiding in. It is clear to him that they want to create a facade of vigilance but have the true purpose of ensnaring them. He decided to disappoint them by waiting. His wait bore fruit quickly. Many Origin gods had taken the bait he threw out. Some had even arrived. Their arrival and his message were not a secret since they were in a public channel. Apparently, the battle sage monkeys had gotten wind of a message exposing Salvini's location. It made them increase their defenses as more and more Leviathans came to join them. It was almost as if they were ready to reinforce her position as soon as possible. Soverick sneered when he saw this. "So not only are you not satisfied with pulling one over me, you are still scheming to trap me. And they say that I am greedy."

He still didn't move. He continued to wait as some bitter Vipers rushed towards this location. They came with a vengeance. Just like him, they want to punish the first sage and Salvini. 𝒻𝘳𝓮ℯ𝑤𝘦𝒷𝓷𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝓂

More and more Origin gods came soon after. They wanted to have a share of the child of the plane. Soverick watched all of these with faint amusement. He said with ridicule, "If we must go to war over something, then this is worthy of it." The war on the ground is about to be moved into the void. In his opinion, it is how it should have been in the first place. Instead of fighting for race or land, people should be fighting for power. Salvini is an important tool, so anyone in possession of her will gain power. ------
