Greed All For What Chapter 1579

[ … words ]

Litori interrupted their reminiscing. She said in exasperation, “Quickly, people. We have places to be and things to do.”

Ghoto and Mihila laughed. “You sound just like him.”

They were having a nice family time. It might be their last time here in the realm, so it is important to them to have closure. But then someone came to visit them. It was the former child of the Virut plane who has become a child of the realm now.

The three of them froze when they saw her. Not only is she powerful, she was also the one who schemed to kill Soverick. They aren’t sure about that last one anymore, but that hasn’t changed their opinion of her as a scheming snake.

Litori wanted to attack Salvini, but she thought about the consequences of attacking the child of the realm during the era of conquest. Those thoughts and the fact that she might not be able to defeat Salvini discouraged her from taking violent actions to make Salvini leave. But she stepped back in fear, and so did her parents. They were right to be afraid because Salvini was up to no good again. She had a lot to say about the idea of confirming if Soverick was alive or not.

She started with a plea to Mihila. “Please don’t go yet. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you leave the realm now, you might never meet this person again. So why don’t you use this opportunity to confirm if he is still alive or not? You might regret it for the rest of your life.”

Ghoto started, “But it is not safe and…”

He couldn’t continue giving reasons why that suggestion was a bad idea because he lost his voice. He became mute, and his expression became dull.

His eyes glazed over. He became silent and still. Mihila saw this but didn’t find anything strange about it. Instead, her eyes also flashed and became glazed.

She said as if in a trance, “I might regret it for the rest of my life.”

Litori also joined in. “You will certainly regret it. I think it is best that you go and see this person. It won’t cost you anything.”

Litori still appeared to be normal in that she didn’t look dull. But something unnoticeable had changed about her. Not even her parents would have noticed it, even if their minds were not currently addled.

Mihila was still resistant. She asked uncertainly in a weak trembling voice, “What about the danger?”

Litori replied, “I’m sure that the child of the realm, Salvini, will protect us. She is very trustworthy.”

Mihila nodded stiffly and agreed. “She is trustworthy.”

Salvini clapped in excitement. “It is settled then. Let us go and see Soverick.”

Mihila and Ghoto dropped everything they were doing and followed Salvini to the ancient battlefield. Litori also went along with them. She was against the idea before, but she seemed to have changed her mind after the child of the realm spoke about the importance of this opportunity.

Litori even went so far as to inform some people. “We are on our way. Make sure everything is prepared.”

—The Former Virut Plane.

Legion-5 has been fighting straight for over a month now. He isn’t fighting a single person right now, and he has not been in a fight with just a single person. In fact, it currently feels like he is fighting the whole world.

One would think so if all they can see around them are enemies. There are even enemies in the air and in the ground. He is shrouded in complete darkness because of the wall of enemies surrounding him.

It is pitch black around him. The one source of light is the excited or grim eyes of his enemies watching him like predators and the light of the law matrix being agitated over and over again. Honestly, the law matrix might as well be taking as much of a beating as he is, if not

more.

He thought to himself, “There must be millions of them.”

There are, indeed, millions of them. He is like a sugar being coveted by sugar ants. They have surrounded him so much that he would drown if they were water particles.

They are not water particles, but they are even more dangerous than water. They are more like lava. They want to burn him, and they will succeed if they so much as manage to touch him. So he can’t allow them to touch him at all.

His eyes narrowed as visions of the future flashed in his mind. Something seemed to have shifted within. Nine golden orbs of light appeared briefly behind him. Power exploded out of him as he used cosmic force.

It was just in time, too. A massive energy pillar shot towards him from way behind the walls of enemies. The pillar was massive for his size. It was more than a hundred meters in diameter. It was also very powerful. It disintegrated everything in its way to reach him. The attack was supposed to catch him off guard. Its preparation was hidden as much as possible, and it is likely that he wouldn’t have seen it if not for the fact that the attack would affect him. But he saw it, and he was ready for it.

His four hands were holding what appeared to be glass discs. They are not glass discs. They are just the phenomena that appear when the potential to warp the world is made manifest. Now he is turning that potential against the attack.

The energy pillar struck him like a massive moving wall. He clapped two of his hands together and pulled them apart after intertwining cosmic force between them. The action of pulling his hands apart stretched the cosmic force, which caused the space in front of him to expand. The energy pillar met this expanded space and bent around it.

Legion-5 was just behind the expanded space so the energy pillar bypassed him and struck everyone behind him.
