GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1578: The Prodigal Son.



The news about how a high elf broke several laws of the void universe was particularly stimulating to them because they once had a son called Gehaldirah Oakstein who died while attempting to become an Origin god.

To them, it appeared that this strange Legion might be their son. But they aren't sure about it because the realm lord said Gehaldirah Oakstein was dead.

If the Realm Lord said he was dead, then how can he be alive and well? That's the question they asked themselves and would like to ask the realm lord. Unfortunately, they can't meet the realm lord. Not just anyone can meet the realm lord. Especially not Origin gods that don't have a Supreme Law.

They don't know what to believe, so this couple set out to find Legion and maybe see if he has anything in common with their dead son. After all, they should be able to tell if he is their son through his spiritual fluctuations. Mihila thought so too.

The news also reached the mortal inhabitants of the realm. Most families with powerful inheritance had reinforced their cities to be able to continue living in the realm, while others were evacuating their families en masse to the upper realm or into the worlds of world gods. The emigration out of the realm is also going on in the Ghastorix family, but Mihila and Ghoto haven't left yet. They should have been gone for a while since Ghaster and Litori are highly valued descendants, but Mihila refused to leave after finding out that Soverick is still alive.

Ghoto didn't leave either because he didn't want to leave without her, and Litori stayed behind because of her father.

Ghaster, on the other hand, is gone. He had no choice in the matter. His mother tricked him, captured him, and handed him over to an elder of the family, who took him into their ancestor's world. Mihila wanted to do the same with Litori, but she was always able to evade their mother.

The three of them are in the realm, waiting for an opportunity to confirm that Soverick is still alive. The opportunity came soon. Someone shared a video of a fight going on in the realm of someone who could be Soverick.

There were nine golden orbs behind this alleged Soverick. The nine golden orbs were rotating behind him as he fought. Mihila had seen these nine golden orbs when Soverick beat her. She and many others had also seen it during the Unified Skill Index, so they can be certain that Soverick used to have nine golden orbs.

However, this person didn't look anything like a battle sage monkey. He was black, and he had scales instead of fur. He didn't even have a tail, but Mihila insisted that it was Soverick.

Mihila saw the video and said, "It is him. He is alive."

Ghoto also saw the video, but he wasn't sure. He asked, "Are you sure? The nine golden orbs don't make it certain that it is him."

Ghoto is right to be skeptical. The image of this person is blurred at best. The nine golden orbs only appear briefly, and from what they can see, this person has a black complexion with scales on their skin instead of fur.

He looks more like a viper than a battle sage monkey. They are in no way similar to the golden furred battle sage monkey that they know and hate. It would be smart to be skeptical.

Mihila refused to change her mind, though. "He is the one. He is an Origin god, so his concept might have changed him."

Ghoto sighed and asked, "If he is Soverick, how is he alive when the first sage said he was dead? He died, and his title was taken by another. How do you explain those?"

Mihila didn't have an answer to those questions, but something was telling her that the person she saw in the video was Soverick. She doesn't know where the feeling came from, and she even finds it odd, but she is somehow certain that it is Soverick.

She could only say with frustration, "I just know he is the one."

Litori had had enough. "Fine. It is Soverick. You have confirmed that he is still alive. What next?"

Ghoto spoke to convince her, "Let us leave, dear. The realm is too dangerous for us right now, and Soverick never cared about us. If he is the one, then he didn't bother to tell us he was alive. That shows that he still doesn't care about us. Even if he is the one and he cares, he is not our son anymore. He is Legion, an entity who stole the body of our true son. His being alive has not changed anything for us."

Litori added, "He is an immortal and a powerful one at that. From what I have heard, he has been fighting millions of Origin gods for almost a month now. He certainly doesn't need our help, and there's nothing we can offer him."

Mihila agreed. "That's true. The realm is dangerous right now, and there's nothing to gain by staying here."

Even now, they can feel the plane vibrating and quaking from the fight currently going on in the realm. It is just one fight, and it is not against the Tyrant Realm. It is the fight that this so- called Soverick has been fighting ever since his secret was exposed.

Just the repercussions of the fight that they can feel behind the reinforced barriers of the city are enough for them to know that going to find Soverick to confirm if he is the one is dangerous and foolish.

Mihila agreed to leave, so they began to pack their things.

Mihila muttered, "We might never return here. I will miss this place."

Ghoto chuckled and said, "I remember when Soverick wanted a place for himself. He was willing to do anything for it. It seems that was not the only thing he was willing to do anything for."

A/N: Who wants to see Gehaldirah's parents? It is unfortunate that you won't be able to. I couldn't find a good reason to give them screen time. If you can come up with a relevant reason I might be able to show them.
