Soverick felt it immediately that the future had changed for Legion. A certain fate became fixed for them immediately after he used the curse against the Supreme Alliance.
Even though the fixing of the unfortunate fate where all of Legion dies was clear to them, they were confused about how it happened. Because for all the information that was revealed in the two visions, they don't see how they have failed and made it happen.
Legion-1 asked, "What was that? Was that a vision of the future or a message from the first sage?"
Soverick replied, "It could be both. He is a world god. Anything is possible."
Aeternus asked in agitation, "But what is this about a visual acquity competition? When did we enter one with the first sage? When did we challenge him?"
Helios suggested, "Either we were in a future vision competition with the first sage, or we will be in a future vision competition with him."
Legion-1 stated what he thought was the most important part, "Either way, he is claiming we lost or we will lose."
They began to analyze their recent actions and also viewed their alternate future. Fortunately, a lot of the things the Supreme Alliance was using to block their vision malfunctioned after they were cursed, so a lot of hidden things became revealed to Legion.
One thing is certain from what they saw. It is that the Supreme Alliance was truly hit by the curse, and it caused devastating damage to them. So Legion has won a great victory.
However, they are not celebrating. This is because they know that the victory itself was bait. To be more precise, Salvini was not the bait. She was indeed a bait, but she wasn't the main bait.
The opportunity to damage the Supreme Alliance was the bait. What they thought was the silver lining turned out to be the bait used by the first sage to achieve something they don't yet know.
Legion used the all-seeing eyes to trace back the cause and effect of the curse, the fight between the clones and millions of Origin gods, the release of their information, and the fight between Legion-8 in the Tyrant Realm.
Scenes flashed in their vision that showed them the events of the past and how they had led them here. They were able to discover that the ancestor of Litori didn't cooperate with the Supreme Alliance by chance. She was sent by the first sage.
First, she probed Soverick. It was a harmless probe that was supposed to make her look reasonable while simultaneously working with the Supreme Alliance to collect information about him.
That moment when they started speaking with her might have been the very instant when they engaged in the future vision competition with the first sage. It was immediately after Soverick won the future vision competition with that Supreme Origin god with the eye of the sage.
He had just won a great victory, so it was the best moment to get under his guard. He was supposed to be full of pride and not think much of Supreme Origin, so he might not consider her much of a threat.
However, he wasn't blinded by pride. Unfortunately, it was already too late. Even if he was suspicious of her motive, and he was, there was no proof of it. And unless he was willing to begin revealing his secrets at that point, there was no way to defeat her.
At that time, he thought he had a lot of choices, but the game had been set against him. One way or the other, his secrets would be revealed.
He didn't fight her the first time around, so she came back with more enemies. Things went downhill for them from that point onward. But even though they realized that they were being schemed against, everything still went according to the plan of the Supreme Alliance right up until the curse appeared.
Legion-8 had asked her why she was working with the Supreme Alliance. She had denied it. It turned out she was not lying. She was indeed working for the racial council, not the Supreme Alliance.
The Supreme Alliance was also fooled by her. They worked with her because there was no harm in cooperating with someone to pressure Legion. They were already planning to release his information to the public to gain the help of others, so her request for cooperation was welcomed.
It helped that she was able to identify the clones anytime she saw them. Her concept was useful, so the Supreme Alliance allowed her to join in the attack of Legion. Unfortunately, all their effort didn't amount to much, so the Supreme Alliance decided to resort to using a curse to gain the upper hand over Legion.
That decision was not due to an external influence. The Supreme Alliance came up with it on their own. They also had confidence in its success since they planned it for the realm lord in the first place. It was scrapped for the realm lord because the realm lord doesn't have any direct living relatives.
His direct relatives were killed when he was being chased about as a Sovereign. But Legion, on the other hand, had weak, easily manipulated relatives that could be killed, in the form of Mihila and Ghoto. The deaths of the two of them would create a very powerful curse that would be debilitating to Legion if one of the clones killed Mihila and Ghoto.
The Supreme Alliance took the preparation of the curse seriously. They didn't go after the immortal parents and sisters of Gehaldirah because their deaths were only temporary. They needed a permanent death to create a permanent curse.
Then Litori's ancestor offered to help with her special soul-burning curse. The only catch in all this was to find a way for Legion to kill his parents and to do so in front of Litori.
A/N: If Salvini wasn't the real bait and the curse wasn't the real trap, what do you think the real trap is?
