Chapter 1387 Thorny Bed.
That moment stood out in Salvini's memory like a thorn. She had pretended to be weak in their first encounter and ran away in defeat from Litori. Then she brought her brother and used him to weaken Litori. Then she killed Litori after her brother Salvin died.
She took advantage of the two of them that day. Later on, Soverick himself the great and powerful Child of the plane died at her hands. If there is a lesson to be learned there, it is that Salvini is dangerous and anyone who associates with her can die at any time.
It is no wonder that Litori is hellbent on rejecting her. Even her brothers are wary of her because of things like that. They call her a snake to her face. Unfortunately, she can't go back to fix that problem. She has made her thorny bed and has to lie on it now.
"It is clear to me that you don't want to help me. I understand your unwillingness to work with me but I will try to convince you anyway. I have something that will help you to comprehend the law of the soul and become a titan of law in the footsteps of your ancestor. It is a soul parasite."
She spoke then she became silent. Litori didn't talk for another 60 seconds.
"I thank you for your generosity but I am not interested."
Salvini was prepared for the rejection so she had something prepared to say as soon as Litori finished talking. "Don't be quick to reject. I don't want anything in return for this. I will grant you the information and you are free to do whatever you want with it."
Salvini stood up with a disappointed sigh before the reply came. This was after 55 seconds.
So Litori left the bunker after making her wish to be left alone known to the child of the plane. Salvini watched her leave with disappointment and feelings of rejection. It is the same emotions that her future self felt. Now it has come to pass. It is even worse because she knew it was coming but couldn't change it.
"Should I even bother with Ghaster?" She asked herself.
Salvini had high hopes for Litori's divine ability. It is a very rare divine ability that has only one lineage in the whole plane and Litori is the only person to have it in the last thousand origin cycles. The lineage of Salvini is the only lineage that has what she needs to combat and maybe defeat Legion.
There are other ephemeral flame wielders in the plane but their divine ability stops at using illusions to manipulate emotions or combusting emotions. They can't see spiritual bodies and can't harm the soul like Litori can. They surely can't use their divine ability to harm someone and every clone that they have. So the soul-fire divine ability is likely her best counter for an entity with many bodies like Legion.
Litori's ancestor got her divine ability through a mutation. No one managed to follow in her path ever since and the bloodline while eternal stopped showing up because most of its bearers died during the attempt to become titans of law.
The major problem that they had was the problem of the soul law and creating the image of a soul fire. Salvini wanted to use that opportunity to introduce Litori to Legion.
Not only would Litori try to capture Legion which will lead to them fighting, it will also grant her more information about Legion and further prove her claims that Legion exists. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

A/N: Do you remember her nickname? Salvini The Snake. Or was that the nickname for the first sage?
