GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



If not for the elusiveness of the law of Order, Chaos, and some other laws that he can't get access to, then he would have comprehended more than 19 laws. The VIPER HEGEMONY and EYE OF THE SAGE are two of his prize possessions. He looted those during the competition. 

It is both a pity and a good thing that he couldn't complete them. To comprehend the supreme law of a world god is to know them. But you can't know a world god without them knowing you back. After all, to know them is to have their existence within your existence. 

They are their laws. If you have their laws in your mind then you have them in your mind. The simple knowledge of a supreme being is already enough to influence you. If not for the danger of having the first sage grow from within him, then he would have delayed the completion of the competition to give himself enough time to comprehend the two Supreme laws. 

He comprehended all of these in such a short amount of time because of his eyes that can see and decrypt laws ever since he became a transcendent. It is clear now that he hid most of the capabilities of his eye during the competition. He only used his skill set and his ability to see through things. But his eyes are capable of so much more. 

His eyes are very special. They will become even better if he becomes a titan of law with the 9 laws that his eyes contain. But that isn't good enough for him. Why stop at 9 laws when he can do more? 

A 9-law concept might be difficult for others but not for him. He is a king of law that is already capable of building top-grade Origin artifacts. Top-grade artifacts contain concepts. They are artifacts that only special individuals with energy transmutation abilities or control of the kaw matrix like origin gods can build. 

He is neither and yet he can forge concepts and even go further as to create a new type of weapon system. It would probably have been difficult to forge a 9-law concept even with his extraordinary ability but the inheritance of Virtual Creation has reduced the difficulty immensely. So why limit himself to 9 laws when he can do more and when he has comprehended 18 laws? 

He can't use all 18 laws surely but he can definitely use more than 9 laws as long as he can create the image of the concept that he needs. Thankfully he is not lost in that aspect either. He already has an image in mind thanks to the supreme law of the first sage. His divine ability was created because he influenced his eyes with Origin essence as a fetus. Surely he can do better now that he is all grown up.

He has a lot of advantages at his disposal so there is no way he will not attempt to fix his flaws in hopes of achieving perfection. Some dread breaking through to titan of law but he is looking forward to it because it is an opportunity for him to create a better path for himself. 

If there is a way to acquire a perfect eye, then he will try his hardest to acquire it. The first sage claimed that it doesn't exist, but that isn't enough to discourage Soverick. If the first sage can be wrong about him once, then the first sage can be wrong again.

Salvini's POV

She shook her head when Soverick didn't appear next to her. She knows he can come to her just as she knows that he was somewhere far away in that direction. She wanted to talk to him. There are some things that they need to hash out and discuss. Unfortunately for her, Soverick is not willing to speak to her. She can understand why he is like that but that doesn't make her situation less precarious.

She looked at her future again. Her vision of the world changed. Several versions of the next moment appeared in her vision. They are like overlays of the present. She can see multiple future realities layered upon one another. 

She pushed her vision further to show events that are likely to occur farther into the future. The images in her sight increased exponentially the more she pushed further. Her head began to ache and her mind was strained. Her vision began to narrow as it frayed and darkened at the edges. 

The images became blurry and indistinguishable. But she didn't stop. She continued to push for more. The images got blurrier even though they lessened in amount. The only thing recognizable in them is a person in a black hooded cloak. The reduction of images continued until she only saw darkness. She saw this person before her vision disappeared completely. Her divine ability didn't fail her. It just ceased to exist at that point. 

She closed her eyes to stop the vision and relax her mind. "It seems I am still going to die."

She doesn't know how she dies yet. It is still very far into the future so it is uncertain. What she can see of that uncertainty is blurry at best. But she can tell that she will die and that it has something to do with Soverick. 

She doesn't know if it is Soverick for sure but there are certain hints that point out to it. The most important hint is that her future vision first showed darkness when the sage made the deal with Soverick. Soverick swore his Oath and a darkness that her eyes can't pierce appeared in her future. It was at that point that she knew that she will die. So her death has something to do with him. It can't be a totally unrelated coincidence.

She told the first sage about the premonition of her death when it appeared. Her ancestor had been very quiet. Then he told her about his encounter with Soverick. She had been shocked that he was still alive and that he was the reason why she lost her title for a few moments. But she grew more shocked the more she heard about him. 

A/N: Is a perfect eye possible? If you think it is, then what is your idea of a perfect eye? I want to know.
