GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

1386 The Weakness Of The Eye Of The Sage.

These people hated Soverick simply because he was the child of the plane. They hate her for more. She is also the child of the first sage so their organization has picked up heavy momentum against her.

She has learned that the bloodline of some disgruntled world gods are funding the hunt for her life. So the bunkers and Origin gods became a must for her or she would be attacked as soon as she gave them the opportunity.

Her visitor came soon after. Salvini opened the door and let her in. Litori stepped into the large room. She looked the same as he always had. Her fur is red and her eyes her completely white.

The bunker is more of a house. Within the house are several rooms and facilities. This room is just one of the rooms and it is meant for meeting visitors. There are seats arranged in a circular form. Salvini is sitting on one of them.

"Please sit." She said to her guest.

Litori sat. She looked around briefly before speaking. "It seems it is common for every child of the plane to hide themselves away from the world."

Salvini agreed. "Yes. We are always busy with work and don't want any disturbance."

Litori agreed. "I know that to be true of Soverick. As for you, I don't think so."

"Why do you think so?" Salvini asked.

Litori gave an excuse. "I assume it's because you simply like solitude."

Litori didn't speak her mind. She didn't say that Salvini was hiding away because she was afraid of being killed. She didn't say that, unlike Soverick, Salvini is only strong when she calls for support from the plane.

Litori is confident of survival even if she said those things because her safety was sworn to her. If the child of the plane and many Origin gods hadn't worn to keep her safe then she wouldn't have come here. Even so, there's no need to antagonize her host needlessly with words that might be considered harmful or disrespectful.

"I am here now. You said you wanted to see me. What can I help you with?" Litori asked.

Another thing she wanted to say but didn't say is that Soverick wouldn't need her help for anything.

Salvini started talking, "I need your help with…"

But she stopped. Several scenes were layered in her sight. She can see several outcomes of her actions in them. What she noticed was that Litori's behavior was the same in every one of them.

In all her visions, Litori is sitting silently without any movement or action. Litori didn't say anything for a while after she made her request. It made it impossible for Salvini to anticipate what Litori would say to her request and use that information to convince her to help before making the request.

"It seems you are careful against me," Salvini said.

Litori still didn't say anything. She kept quiet and watched. It is exactly what Salvini saw in her future visions. It made Salvini decide to push her divine ability to its limit.

There is the short and accurate future vision or precognition. She can see outcomes accurately as long as they are within 5 seconds of the future.

She is pushing that limit now. But got nothing from Litori even when she pushed it to 30 seconds. It means Litori won't say anything to her questions or requests for at least 30 seconds.

"Soverick and his siblings are too troublesome," Salvini complained to herself.

Soverick could bypass her future vision completely. All she would see of him was nothing. It was as if she was talking to nothing whenever they were speaking with each other. Now his sibling is giving her problems with her divine ability by using a common method.

By keeping silent for a long period of time, Salvini and others with her divine ability to see the future will only get silence in their visions unless they go beyond the range of the silence. Unfortunately, the range of her accurate future vision is not up to 30 seconds.

Her complaint won't help her so she used the far sight but inaccurate future vision. This vision uses her as an anchor into the far future. Emotions and information can be transmitted to the present from the future through her future self.

This method is highly inaccurate because there are multiple versions of herself in the future who have experienced different things. It is impossible to acquire information from all of them so the information she acquires might not be useful at all or might be outright wrong and harmful.

She doesn't have a choice now so she used it. This ability also surprised her. Almost every version of her future self sent the same information to her. It made her realize that Litori had already made up her mind no matter what this meeting entails.

Litori is determined not to help her or have anything to do with her. The feeling of disappointment and rejection is constant from her future vision. Litori will eventually talk after her period of silence but all she will say is "No."

It frustrated Salvini to no end so she didn't bother to make the request. Instead, she asked, "Why are you against me?"

Litori didn't reply. She remained silent for 60 seconds. Then she said, "You are very dangerous."

Salvini already got the answer before Litori spoke so her face fell before she was accused of being dangerous. It is not even a false acquisition and it is a good reason to be unhelpful but it still stung to be cornered.

"Looks like I burnt more than one bridge during the Unified Skill Index," Salvini muttered loudly so that her guest could hear.

Unfortunately, Litori didn't take the bait. She remained silent. Salvini looked back to find when she must have offended Litori or made her so adverse towards her. The moment that is most likely responsible for the prejudice is when she killed Litori during the Unified Skill Index.
