GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



Salvin nodded. "Whatever it is that's going on, Soverick is in big trouble."

As the current generation of sages, they get frequent updates about Soverick. Besides, it will be almost impossible for everyone on the plane not to know when he activated his call for help. So they know that Soverick has never used the ability, and they know its importance if his title is to be taken from him. Knowing everything that they know, they believe that Soverick's situation is not good.

Salvos broke the silence. "He is good though. He is very talented. Too bad that he is unlucky. I'll miss him when he is gone."

Salvin turned to him and asked, "Are you not going to save him from our sister?"

"No. It is his fate, and I don't care enough to interfere. If he is so special, then he should be able to come out of this alive."

Salvin didn't believe him. "Sure. Leave it to fate. I just don't find it surprising that you wouldn't help someone that beat you twice."

Salvos raised his fist at him and threatened. "Do you want to have another go?"

"Sure. Resort to violence when I say the truth. The truth always stings, doesn't it?"

Salvos retorted. "Says the person that was defeated by Soverick's sister."

"She lied and cheated. Her domain is bigger than she let on. She defeated me by cheating. She is a cheat." Salvin yelled the reason why he was defeated, but Salvos didn't care. He mocked his brother more. "What's worse is that Salvini took advantage of you. She used you. And it could have all been avoided. You of all people should have known that she could defeat Litori if she wanted."

Salvin sighed and rubbed his face. "I know. But I wanted to defeat Soverick's sister."

Salvos laughed. "Look where that got you."

His brother shot back angrily, "Look at what your fight with Soverick got you too. He defeated you, didn't he?"

Salvos became silent. Then he said, "So we have already been defeated by two of them. They don't even have the bloodline of sages. This is a poor performance for our side."

Salvin got an idea which he shared eagerly. "You know what? I have a better alternative to watching this fight. This outcome is set anyway. How about we find their brother Ghaster and show him a good time?"

Salvos grinned. "Yes. We'll take turns with him. We'll beat him black and blue for the suffering his two siblings have caused us."

"Let's aim for black. He already has blue fur. His injuries won't show clearly with bruises that are blue."

The two of them grinned evilly and set out to find Ghaster. Innocent Ghaster became the target of their hatred. He is the scapegoat for the crimes that Soverick and Litori committed. He will pay for their crimes by getting bullied.

These two brothers would rather fight someone than watch this fight. The outcome of the battle and the struggle between Soverick and his accuser doesn't concern them. The bottom line is that Soverick is doomed one way or another.

They suspect that Soverick is in trouble, but they aren't going to do anything about it. Salvos, Salvin, and Salvini, were born together by the same parents. They are siblings, but in reality, they might as well have been born by different parents because they have different ancestors. 

They awakened different bloodlines, so they have different ancestors. The two boys awakened the bloodline of some other sages, but Salvini awakened the bloodline of the first sage. What's most important is that their ancestors are all sages.

That difference in bloodline set them apart from each other. For some, the difference in bloodline will create a divide among siblings such that they won't resemble or act like siblings at all. As for the two brothers, they don't have the bloodline of the original sage so they rarely know what's going on. 

The ones with the bloodline of the first sage have a way of always working together to achieve their aims. They scheme together and execute plans without actually talking to each other or meeting each other. It is like they are in a psychic club or clique where they know what's on each other's minds and what their part is in a plan. 

The two of them are out of the loop so they don't care. It doesn't make them feel bad or left out because they are both stronger than Salvini. And even if they feel bad, they won't interfere in what is going on. No matter their differences, they are all descended from sages. They won't betray each other.

Sages were titled so for their great work for the plane. It is their duty to serve the plane as the descendants of sages. So they won't act until they are sure that what they are doing is good for the plane. They are not sure of anything about this competition and Soverick's situation so they won't act. But they will not interfere either. They will leave Salvini to her schemes. Soverick is on his own. He won't get help from them.

The upcoming battle is being witnessed by almost everyone on the plane. The sky of the plane shows the fight. Everyone can just look up and see the millions of people arrayed against each other on two sides. There was no announcement for the fight, but people tuned in because they felt the pull when Soverick called for support. It was a sudden change in their existence, and so they sought to find out what was going on.

This change didn't go unnoticed in the void universe. Origin gods that were born in the Virut plane felt the pull, but nothing came out of them. They have broken away from the realm, so they can't support the child of the plane even if they want to. Only the realm lord can receive support from them. But the origin gods felt the pull and realized that something had happened in the plane. So they paid attention to what's happening in the plane.
