GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1552  Two Criminals.

He too is hiding himself. But his stealth is external. Anyone who can see past his cover of warped space can see him, but it will be difficult to do so because the way he warped space around himself makes him exist in a different dimension. But she, on the other hand, is in the same space but cannot be seen at all. She is like the invisible spiritual fragments that are created when someone dies. It appears as if she doesn't exist at all. He used this information to try and devise a plan. In his future vision, possibilities flashed by several times. They fought in those futures, with some leading to his victory and some leading to his loss. But most of them did not end quickly. The fight at the soul level went on for years once it started. The duration of a fight between them is what is mostly discouraging him from fighting her. The other reason is the same reason why the Supreme Origin god guarding Salvini gave up on him. It is because two beings with Supreme Power cannot defeat each other easily.

So he will have to expose more of his power to defeat her. When coupled with the fact that she and the Supreme Origin god guarding Salvini can team up against him, it makes it an extremely bad idea to fight her.

It might not even be that battle sage monkey that interferes. Surely she must be prepared to outnumber him if she came with the intention to fight him. So it could be any other Supreme Origin god that gangs up on him. Still, he is not resigned. He thought to himself, "If the future is uncertain, the past might hold some truth."

His vision of her flowed backward into her past. He saw her true form. She is a red-furred battle sage monkey, similar to someone he knows. His conjecture was proven right when he saw her meet Litori and Mihila. She didn't say anything to them. She just stalked them, like she is doing to him right now. He moved his eyes to see more of her past. It flowed to reveal how, where, and when she entered the realm tree. But then his vision went dark. She must have sensed his vision and used her Supreme Law to block his sight. She said to him, "That is not polite. You made me use an Origin essence." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He snorted. "This is your last chance. State your business or I will attack."

She took his warning seriously this time around. But her goal is not something that can be stated easily. So she started by stating the obvious. "There are at least two of you in one body."

"And what business of that is yours?"

"There is no rejection between you two. It is as if you are conjoined twins. It is as if you are Gemini twins, but at the soul level. I want to know how to become something like that. I don't mean any harm. I hope to pay for the information."

He lied, "I was born this way. I cannot help you."

"Is that so? You were born with the consciousness of another race in your mind? I would believe this if the consciousness in your mind belonged to your brother and sisters, not high elves or Supreme Beasts."

Soverick asked her, "And how would you know that?"

"I am somewhat of an expert on souls and consciousness. I can see some traces of those two races in your consciousness."

Soverick didn't like that she knew about Legion, but he wasn't surprised either. She is a battle sage monkey and also a Supreme Origin god. It is highly likely that the first sage or Salvini told her this information to create enemies for him. If he can tell everyone her position, she can surely tell everyone his secrets. What she said is useful to him, though. The future in Soverick's vision changed rapidly with the addition of more information and the progress of time. It made him see more than he could see in the past or in the future. He got more clues about her Supreme Law. He saw that it was more proficient at attacking the soul than the physical body. He saw that her attacks could even bypass the defenses of the body. He saw the bloodline she created in the High Heaven Realm and how it was related to Litori. Then his vision darkened again. He snorted in displeasure. The Supreme Origin god was also dissatisfied. She said, "You should stop doing that."

"You should also not stalk me. But here we are."

"I am not stalking you. I just wanted to meet you. Surely that is not a crime."

"It is a crime when you have hidden yourself like a criminal sneaking about."

"But you are also hiding yourself."

He said without guilt, "That's because I am a criminal. As a criminal, I know how to identify other criminals very well. You look like one."

He was speaking with her as he flew into the realm. No one can see him, and she is more hidden than him, so everyone who looked their way didn't see the two invisible beings chatting. He said to her, "I sense no malice from you currently. It doesn't look like you plan to fight me right now, but you are not entirely truthful. You are here for something else that doesn't need fighting."

"Either way, I can't help you. You might as well ask another Origin god for the secret of their concept. The only thing it will reveal to you is their weakness. You won't be able to use their abilities if you don't have the concept."

Her invisible avatar smiled. "You are right. I didn't come to fight. I came to speak with you as a peer in hopes that we could negotiate an agreement in peace. There's no need to fight because it is something that is best achieved without violence."
