Chapter 821 Legion Is A Target.

?

The help of a world god can be used for a lot of things. For one, she can use this help to freeze Soverick or curse him. Or she can gain the assistance of thousands of origin gods to hunt Soverick. There's so much she can use the help of a world god for. Her father doesn't want to help her but the Ghastorix ancestor can.

Her aim to escape death is not hopeless. She can avoid this inevitable future somehow. That much she knows. She just doesn't know how to avoid her future death. She can see in her future vision that there are multiple possibilities in her future but it will get to a certain point when it will start to dwindle until she dies. That means there is a certain critical point in the future when her death will become certain. But until then, there are multiple paths of survival.

She will know when this critical point is as her death comes closer to her. Until then, she is in the dark. It is another reason why she was hoping to meet Soverick. Meeting and speaking with him can shed more light on her situation or help her to avert her death.

She is even willing to give up the title if Soverick will accept it and stop trying to kill her. It might be dishonorable but she doesn't care. She is facing an enemy that she cannot manipulate and cannot kill. This enemy can also kill her. Dishonorable or not, it is a wise move to give up her title if it will guarantee her life.

She looked to the sky and muttered. "And it all started because I wanted him to participate in the competition. I could have stopped it but I didn't. Now we have to fight."

This entire thing could have been avoided if she hadn't tried to encourage Soverick to attend the competition. Things went downhill from there. Soverick even warned her during the third challenge that he will hunt her down if she takes advantage of him. She didn't take his warning seriously. After all, he was going to die. What harm could he bring to her after his death?

In a way, she has some blame for how everything turned out. She knows this so she steeled her heart and deadened her affection for Soverick. Her eyes became cold as steel. She became determined then and there.

She declared to herself. "I have some regrets. But what has happened has happened. Nothing can change that. But if there is a way for me to survive then I will make it so. I am of the bloodline of the first sage. We don't give up until the end. And the end is always favorable to us." 

She made this declaration and began to move to bring it into effect. If there is a way to survive then she will make it happen. That is the way of the lineage of the sage. They will always win as long as there is a chance.

Besides, the stakes are stacked in her favor. That is one thing that the sage is right about. She is the child of the plane and she has the bloodline of the first child of the plane. There are so many things that she can do to prevent her death. There are people that she can call upon and resources to aid her.

She must and will find a way or another to coerce Soverick into giving up. It will be her shame and the first sage's if she can't pull it off. Her situation is not entirely hopeless. She knows that something called LEGION is Soverick's source of strength and also his weakness. She will target this LEGION and see where that leads her.

She reached through her soul to the communication talisman attached to it. Then she contacted the team that she has assembled to find Legion. A sullen face appeared before her.

"How goes the preparation?" She asked.

Jarkon sighed and replied with visible reluctance, "It is going well."

Salvini became annoyed because of his lack of enthusiasm. "Stop pouting. You have the chance to do something great for the plane."

"I don't want the chance. Give it to someone else. Please, Salvini, I'm begging you." He pleaded with her.

Salvini explained. "You have no choice in the matter. You're the only one that locked onto him in the plane. The others only have a trace of him in the Arena. I need you to take point on this."

"But Soverick is already dead. I don't see the point of this. Just let me live my life in peace."

He looked at her with tears in his eyes. It is a little shameless for a grown man and transcendent to try and look cute. The fact that he is failing at it has made him completely pitiful. Unfortunately, Salvini wasn't moved.

Salvini shook her head. "There is no other way. I have information that Soverick had some friends. Those friends are very angry because of his death. They are planning despicable and evil things to do to the plane as retribution for his death. A lot of innocent people could die because of this and you have the rare opportunity to stop this from happening."

Jarkon yelled. "Salvini, No!"

But it was too late. She didn't stop. She said the magic word to complete her manipulation. "Your ancestor would do this for justice and peace. Why can't you?"

The bloodline of the lion of justice rose unbidden within Jarkon. His golden bane puffed up and moved without a wind. He feels like roaring in dominance but he didn't. Jarkon tried his best not to succumb to that impulse. But that's the best he could.

He looked at her with bloodshot eyes and he said as he gritted his teeth in anger. "I will find those friends of Soverick. They will not be able to hide from me in all of the realm. I will find them as long as they have had any contact with Soverick. Of this, I promise. No evil shall be allowed to occur while I have knowledge of it and can prevent it."
