GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1818: No More Grief.



It took a lot of delusional convincing before she got halfway to the courage needed to break the monumental bad news to a world god. But she was interrupted while she was raising her courage.

A being much larger than her appeared suddenly beneath her. It stayed there just beneath the law matrix, but she could feel its presence and its focus locked onto her.

She could also feel its anger as it asked, "What is this I heard about you getting eliminated from God's Domain. Tell me it is a baseless rumor."

It was not a good thing for something so large that it could swallow her in one bite be angry at it. It was not good at all. She was filled with so much fear that she didn't know what to say. She couldn't even move. She stood there frozen in fear.

The works God didn't like that. It said, "Since you can't speak or move, you should remain like this forever."

A powerful Will enveloped her and froze her. She became frozen in body and mind, so she couldn't even kill herself. The good thing is that she won't be able to go through the remaining stages of grief anymore. Not many are that lucky.

Then the powerful Will dragged her down beneath the law matrix. She didn't enter the dark side of the universe but was transported into the inner world, where she would be imprisoned for an unknown amount of time.

While Crystal Hoard was on a personal journey to lose her sense of time, the five god kings met to discuss what to do. They spoke at length, but it led to nothing positive.

Actually, nothing changed about their situation. They can all agree that the alliance was a mistake, and they all wanted to disband it. Unfortunately, they can't until they have paid the orc bandits their due. So they could only forget it for now and try to get domains as quick as possible.

The repercussions of failing to pay their due might put them in Crystal Howard's situation. It is a possibility that depends on the mood of the world god that sponsored them. They might get away with it with just a mild scolding or a sigh of disappointment, but they are not willing to take their chances.

Not only do they want the domains so that they would be able to evolve and gain another Oracle slot, but they also wanted it so that they would gain the power to clear away their debts. These two reasons made them dedicated to roaming the divine plane in search of domains.

Unfortunately for them, the divine plane is very dangerous right now. Not only are there divine beasts everywhere, there are also Pantheons hunting other Pantheons. The clash between Pantheons has gotten particularly intense. The divine beasts have also gotten stronger from eating too many gods.

Things got so bad that what the gods had been warned about finally happened. A regional announcement blared to life in the divine realm like an alarm siren.

-A Divine Calamity Has Been Born.

-Kill It Before It Becomes Too Strong.

-Killing It Will Reward With Special Divine Spells.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The announcement riled up the gods. The allure for special divine spells was a lot because divine spells have been common till now. Every god has the same type. It is not until they become domain gods can they gain access to unique divine spells. So a special divine spell will grant gods an advantage.

This advantage is especially tempting to powerful god kings who have reached level 100 and have reached the limit of their Pantheon. They went in search of the Divine Calamity to kill it.

Legion didn't join the chase. They heard that divine calamities were too strong and they could devour a god so that they would lose 90% of their divinity instead of 50% when they died.

Besides, they were too busy recruiting gods for their pantheon. They had already begun to forcefully recruit gods before the attack on Legion-1 by the six god kings. It was very difficult to do, but golden light has made it very easy.

With golden light, even the avatar of a god will be in big trouble in front of them. They didn't need to fight the avatars of gods resisting them anymore. They could just kill them, destroy their divine altars, and look for their Oracles peacefully.

If they didn't find the Oracles before the god resurrects, they would destroy all their temples and then kill their avatar again when it resurrects. But they rarely had to repeat killing the avatars after the first time. Every God became reasonable after one death of their true bodies and destruction of their divine altar.

This way, they were easily able to convince every god around their territory to join their pantheon. The gods either had to become their subordinates or be destroyed. They didn't give anyone any other choice in the matter.

This was how they were able to get up to 50 gods in their pantheon in preparation for the attack on Legion-1. Now they want to finish what they started and increase that number to 99. They were also busy helping their believers to expand through prosperity and procreation. They didn't rely on war anymore because every god around them was already their subordinate.

Besides, they had yet to fully digest the population in their territory. They have quite possibly the largest territory among the gods. After all, they were the first true god. They had used that advantage thoroughly, and now they are consolidating it with the reward for being the first

godling.

So they were taking their time doing all of these while also learning to forge. The power of the Golden Light has compelled them to crack the secrets of forging. They want to be able to produce more weapons like it in God's Domain or the void universe.

At the very least, it will improve their forging skills and help them comprehend more of the laws of this world since they can't do so directly.
