GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

That moment stood out in Salvini's memory like a thorn. She had pretended to be weak in their first encounter and ran away in defeat from Litori. Then she brought her brother and used him to weaken Litori. Then she killed Litori after her brother Salvin died.

She took advantage of the two of them that day. Later on, Soverick himself the great and powerful Child of the plane died at her hands. If there is a lesson to be learned there, it is that Salvini is dangerous and anyone who associates with her can die at any time.

It is no wonder that Litori is hellbent on rejecting her. Even her brothers are wary of her because of things like that. They call her a snake to her face. Unfortunately, she can't go back to fix that problem. She has made her thorny bed and has to lie on it now.

"It is clear tothat you don't want to help me. I understand your unwillingness to work withbut I will try to convince you anyway. I have something that will help you to comprehend the law of the soul and beca titan of law in the footsteps of your ancestor. It is a soul parasite."

She spoke then she becsilent. Litori didn't talk for another 60 seconds.

"I thank you for your generosity but I am not interested."

Salvini was prepared for the rejection so she had something prepared to say as soon as Litori finished talking. "Don't be quick to reject. I don't want anything in return for this. I will grant you the information and you are free to do whatever you want with it."

Salvini stood up with a disappointed sigh before the reply came. This was after 55 seconds.

5 seconds later. Litori said, "I think I should leave now. I was told that I could leave whenever I wanted."

Litori stood up to leave. Salvini was already standing. She smiled. "No problem. I keep to my word. You can leave anytyou want. If you have free tplease go around the plane for sightseeing. You might notice speople with strange soul fluctuations. I am certain that with your sight you will notice the peculiarities and similarities between them."

Litori wasn't listening. She retracted her divine sense and blocked her mind. She doesn't want to hear any information from Salvini. While a soul parasite is very important to her, she had promised herself not to entangle herself with Salvini in any way.

"I will just have to create my own soul disease when I break through," Litori said to herself.

She is still a transcendent and is Comprehending the law of fire. It is her only choice since the law of the soul is very difficult to comprehend. Even though she has the talent for it, she needs to comprehend a complete soul.

Her options are her soul or the souls of the dead. Unfortunately, her sense of her own soul is muddled because of her body, and the souls of the dead that she acquires are incomplete. This is preventing her and has prevented many people with her bloodline from achieving what their ancestor did.

She might not be able to create the concept of soul fire if she doesn't learn the law of the soul so the opportunity to see a soul parasite is very important to her. However, she is going to pass on that opportunity because it is clearly bait from Salvini.

It will be difficult to create the concept of soul fire on her own but her ancestor was able to create one so she can too. She might die in the attempt to beca titan of law, but she will surely die if she let Salvini play her about.

Soverick's fate is lesson enough for her. She already knew that Soverick was more than he seemed from the moment he battered Ghaster with his Aura when they were babies. If the death of someone so powerful hasn't taught her the lesson to stay away from Salvini then she must be stupid. If she dies during the breakthrough, at least she has s100 origin cycles to live before she dies. She won't have that twith Salvini.

So Litori left the bunker after making her wish to be left alone known to the child of the plane. Salvini watched her leave with disappointment and feelings of rejection. It is the semotions that her future self felt. Now it has cto pass. It is even worse because she knew it was coming but couldn't change it.

"Should I even bother with Ghaster?" She asked herself.

Salvini had high hopes for Litori's divine ability. It is a very rare divine ability that has only one lineage in the whole plane and Litori is the only person to have it in the last thousand origin cycles. The lineage of Salvini is the only lineage that has what she needs to combat and maybe defeat Legion.

There are other ephemeral flwielders in the plane but their divine ability stops at using illusions to manipulate emotions or combusting emotions. They can't see spiritual bodies and can't harm the soul like Litori can. They surely can't use their divine ability to harm someone and every clone that they have. So the soul-fire divine ability is likely her best counter for an entity with many bodies like Legion.

Litori's ancestor got her divine ability through a mutation. No one managed to follow in her path ever since and the bloodline while eternal stopped showing up because most of its bearers died during the attempt to bectitans of law.

The major problem that they had was the problem of the soul law and creating the image of a soul fire. Salvini wanted to use that opportunity to introduce Litori to Legion.

Not only would Litori try to capture Legion which will lead to them fighting, it will also grant her more information about Legion and further prove her claims that Legion exists. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
