Chapter 1588: The Fate Of The Bait.

?

He didn't choose to remain as a Child of the plane like her. He had chosen to become an Origin god and lose his title in order to preserve his life. He didn't trust others to protect him like Salvini did.

He believed that immortality was the best thing to rely on. Besides, immortality also allowed him to come and witness this fight. It is something he wouldn't have been able to do had he remained a child of the plane.

He came to see the famed Soverick, who defeated the Vipers during the Unified Skill Index. Apparently, he didn't die. Even more is that that little battle sage monkey is part of a multifaceted entity that everyone wants to lay their hands on.

What he saw was eye-opening and enlightening. He didn't dare join in the battle for fear of losing his life. After all, he is just a one-star Origin god. So he stayed at the very edge of the battlefield. But who would have thought that Salvini would appear beside him?

He had moved quickly, and immediately she appeared beside him. The famed speed of the Speedster Paragon was put to great use.

Salvini had expected his actions because she could see them, but she had just gone through a stressful teleportation. Her teleportation had been interrupted, and the destination changed in the middle of it, so her body had been wrecked.

Only a dragon, or something as strong as a dragon, could be whole after that ordeal. She is not a dragon, so she couldn't move to resist or escape. The spear went through her chest and killed her.

She saw the smiling face of the cloaked man before she lost consciousness. Soverick also saw all of these happen. He had seen the death of Salvini, so he worked to bring it to pass.

Salvini wasn't supposed to die according to the plan of the Supreme Alliance. But surely the first sage had seen her death, but he still allowed her to come. Now she is dead. However, that hasn't changed the plans of the Supreme Alliance. It is just a slight hiccup in their otherwise perfect plan. Now he has to face the consequences of his actions.

The punch he struck Salvini actually hit her. He is not so careless as to miss an attack, and neither was he blind to what was going on. His punch hit her, but the damage was transferred to Mihila and Ghoto. This is because of a damage transference divine ability of a positive buff class of Supreme Beast.

If Salvini couldn't defend against his attack, then the two of them surely couldn't. The Supreme Beast that transferred the damage to them and Litori's ancestor could have protected them, but that would be against the plan. So Mihila and Ghoto died. Their bodies exploded as their existence shattered.

In a way, he had killed his parents. The curse that the Supreme Alliance had laid on them was activated immediately.

The Supreme Alliance is very adept at using curses. Their most common curse is to use a medium connected to the target. A medium, such as the parent of the target, is the best kind.

But they didn't stop there. They upgraded this curse so that it could bypass defenses and strike the soul directly.

This curse is very powerful, but it has a higher requirement. The target must kill the medium itself. That is unlikely to happen, but it can be managed with the right scheming and bait. It is the curse they prepared for the realm lord. One can imagine the power of a curse meant to cripple the lord of a realm.

Even resurrection won't eliminate the curse completely because they can always reactivate it freely after it is activated the first time. But the Supreme Alliance didn't stop there. They empowered the curse by adding another layer to it.

This is where Litori comes in. She possesses a technique that her ancestor created. Her ancestor was a being that was alive during the era of Vipers in the Virut plane. She witnessed the difficulty of killing the then-first and only Emperor of the Vipers.

The first sage had to hold down Emperor Situ while the other sages wiped out the Vipers. So she developed her concept of soul fire as an ability that harms the spirits and spreads through spiritual connections, such as the connection between members of a paragon race.

This concept was aimed at killing Vipers, and it is particularly lethal to them because of the spiritual connections between them. But it can work on spiritual entities such as Legion-7.

Unfortunately, the technique comes at a great cost. She must be willing to burn her soul and turn it into the flames that will burn her enemies.

Litori's ancestor can't use this curse because she can't die. They need a descendant of hers who has the technique and is slightly willing to sacrifice themselves to use the technique. Litori was the only choice, so she was recommended for the job.

Her sacrifice won't be in vain because the curse gets stronger the more individuals are connected to the target, and because she died, the fire will never go out until the target and everyone related to the target dies. It will even hunt down every blood relative of the target.

This was to ensure the total elimination of the Vipers. But this time it will ensure the elimination of every clone of Legion, wherever they are.

Litori activated that curse now by burning her entire existence. The invisible soul curse was awakened, and it traced the path to Soverick through the death of Ghoto.

The first curse is very powerful as it can bypass defenses, but it is highly likely that it will only incapacitate a single clone of Legion. The addition of Litori's self-sacrifice will ensure that the curse spreads to the other clones. This way, Legion will not be able to escape at all. They would live and fall at the mercy of the Supreme Alliance.
