GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1891: Pantheon Spire.



4 million divinity is small compared to what they can get in one year of hunting, but they don't want to give up on free divinity. Besides, losing the top spot means they are not the strongest in that aspect anymore. They can't have that.

Not after the 3 million divinity helped them with their need to upgrade their weapons. Admittedly they don't need as much divinity as they needed before now that they have figured out how to upgrade their weapons with titan crystals.

That is why they only chose 3 heroes instead of using all 5 titan crystals they had and the free opportunity for a hero that they earned by being part of the first 100 godlings in the Northern Domain. They put aside the other four divine crystals to enhance their weapons.

They have earned a lot apart from the 3 million divinity from Gemmis. They also got access to domain quests. Plus they got to steal from others and were also paid the 5 domains that Feathered Serpent owed them.

They sold domains that they couldn't absorb for more divinity and upgraded their weapons at least once. So they have grown very strong in one year.

Their position as the strongest god had been reinforced. What they decided to do next was to secure the future of that position by becoming the first national god. It is one of the major reasons why they decided that this was a good time to secure a large nation of orcs for themselves.

They were just waiting for their heroes to arrive to accumulate all their advantages and limit their losses before they set off. That time is now.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But apparently, they weren't the only ones waiting for this moment. Someone has decided to strike at their weakness just as they were about to attack the humans.

It took little time to reach the Pantheon Spire. It shouldn't have taken time at all if he had been living in it. But Legion decided not to put their altar in it because it might expose the fact that all 9 of them are one.

They don't want people tracking their movements either. So they continue paying the 1% total divinity rent for the hotel. Currently that is 1,000 divinity per day. It is expensive, but at least their safety is secured.

He soon arrived at the Pantheon Spire. He had changed it into a floating lightning cloud. So it is high in the sky while beneath is a storm of rain and lightning.

The buildings of the Spire are arranged in a circle on the cloud. It is where the gods of his pantheon live. There are a lot of them since they don't have to pay rent here.

Their decision to turn their pantheon spire into a cloud is not a strange one. It is a popular decision among the god kings to turn their Pantheon spire from a tall skyscraper into something else.

Each pantheon did something to make their Spire unique. Some turned it into pyramids, ant hills, mountains, and many more.

This widespread decision has made Gemmis look less orderly than it was when the gods first came. Normal buildings are becoming a rare sight to see in it.

He found the orc gods of his pantheon waiting for him in their council chamber. Each one was sitting in their floating throne and faced the throne of the god king in a semicircle.

The throne of the god king is the largest in the council chamber. It is also the only one not floating. It is standing on the ground of the cloud, but it still reached a greater height than the small thrones floating in the air because of how large it is.

The throne is the size of a building. It is as large as the thrones of the other 112 gods combined. It is clearly too big for him to sit on. But it is not for sitting.

Legion-1 stood on the throne to address them. This put him at the same height that the other thrones are floating at. The throne was so large that he could even walk back and forth on it. It has a lot of room for him to pace.

He folded his hands and regarded them intensely. They too were staring back at him. The faces of their puppets were impassive, but he is sure that many of them don't like him.

He thought to himself, "I wonder how many of them are cursing me right now or promising to show me hell if they get their hands on me."

That thought made him chuckle. Then he addressed them.

"I am sure you have heard about this Pantheon war. I have done my investigations and have come to the conclusion that it is a decoy. It is meant to divert the attention of the rest of you so that you won't be able to assist me in the upcoming war."

"It is clear that our enemies have decided not to underestimate us. The pantheon that challenged us is clearly weak. They don't even have a Domain God in the whole Pantheon."

He shook his head after saying that. "How can such a pantheon hope to defeat us?"

"The answer is that, 'No, they don't hope to defeat us. They are ready to lose the challenge.' If not, they wouldn't have made the bet for the challenge to be the minimum 1,000,000 divinity. I tried to get them to increase the bet to 10,000,000, but they refused."

"They clearly don't have confidence in themselves. Their main aim is to waste our time with the challenge. We won't gain much even if we win, and we won't lose much if we lose. 1,000,000 shared between 112 gods is just too little. But the time spent to acquire it is too much. Then there is the fact that this is the time we are about to go to war. So our attention will be divided and suffer."
