GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1765 History Repeats.

The second thing he saw and would have noticed even if he wasn't connected to Legion-2's mind is the frequent resurrection of god seeds in front of the temple. The sight was enough to clue him in to the devastating effect that Legion-2's actions were having on the divine populace of Gemmis.

Most of these god seeds that resurrected didn't leave Gemmis. They went up to the various boots in the temple to sit. Their numbers were endless, but the temple accommodated them. It continued to grow taller to create more rooms for the god seeds.

Legion-3 was at the base of the temple, so he saw a lot of things. One particular god seed was reformed in front of the temple in a flash of light. It was a glorious scene displaying the defiance of death by gods, but the sacredness was destroyed as the god seed yelled into the sky.

"Noooooooooooooo!"

"Noooooooo."

"I worked so hard, and you ruined it."

Other god seeds approached her and began conversing. Unlike Legion, they couldn't communicate telepathically, so Legion-3 could hear what they were saying.

Someone asked her, "Were you killed by an arrow?"

The god seed looked up and replied, "Yes."

The same person asked, "Was it one hit?"

"Yes."

"Then it should be the same orc deity."

The god seed that was just killed was surprised. She asked, "You know him."

The person she asked spread his hands wide and said, "Look around you. We all know him."

The god seed was surprised. She asked, "He is that famous?"

"I don't like that word. Let's use notorious. Anyway. When you kill a lot of people, you become notorious."

She asked, "What are we going to do about the orc?"

"Nothing. We sit here and try to gain more believers."

"Why not? Are we to watch as he bullies everyone?"

"It seems you are new here. I have been here for a while. This world is not like the realm of high heaven. It is easy to gain power. But it is also easy to lose it. A single death will lead to the loss of your divinity, while a single victory will lead to the acquisition of half of the power of your enemy. The interaction of these two mechanics makes it important for us to be very careful."

"Divinity is absolute. Skill cannot overcome power at all. Unless you have greater Authority we will all be slaughtered if we go to fight the orc archer. That will only make him stronger. It won't reduce his threat at all. Do you understand?"

The new god seed replied, "I understand. The best thing we can do now is acquire Authority."

The one explaining the situation nodded, "Besides, this is not the first time this has happened. I ascended early, but I was later than the god seed called Crystal Hoard."

The mention of that name drew Legion-3's interest. The newcomer also recognized the name. She said, "Isn't he the first one to become a godling and the highest on the ranking list?"

"That's the one. There have been other powerful godlings, but no one can shake his position. He was just like this orc archer. He was a terror to everyone else. He used the fact that he came early to quickly gain an advantage in divinity. This advantage continued to increase until his momentum became unstoppable."

"No one wanted to leave Gemmis for up to two days. But his terror eventually stopped after he reached level 100. He switched to hunting divine beasts. His great strength made him acquire divine crystals quickly, but it still took some time for him to acquire enough souls to become the first godling."

The newcomer said in understanding, "So this orc archer will also stop when he reaches level 100. Even if we can't increase our Authority, waiting it out is not bad either."

"Now you know. I hope you won't disapoint world god Everstar."

The reminder of the name of a world god made the newcomer become serious. She said, "I don't dare."

Legion-3 saw a lot of these happen. The god seeds refused to leave Gemmis because of the hunting spree going on outside. They are also sharing information due to their mutual sponsors.

Unlike Legion, who got the invitation for this world on their own, most Origin gods couldn't get it. After all, Monarch High Heaven was selling the slots for participation to only world gods. Legion is probably the only one here participating for their own benefits. The other god seeds are here on behalf of world gods. World gods can't participate directly in God's Domain, so they sent Origin gods to do their bidding. These god seeds who are working for the same world gods to acquire Authority are able to work together. They may be competitors, but they have a common backer to allow for a certain level of cooperation.

Speaking of corperation. While Legion-2 and the rest of the clones were wrecking havoc outside the divine city, he has also made a lot of progress with the acquisition of Authority. Of the three tribes close to the Bull's Horn tribe, one of them doesn't have any passive or active religion to indicate the presence of any god. The second one has a god, but the god has ascended. The third tribe has two gods who haven't ascended yet.

Warshaw heard the talks of miracles and confirmed the presence of the two gods personally when she went there to scout. She saw their golden figures fighting several times.

Apparently the two of them are at each other's throats. They hinder the spread of each other's religion, which has stalled them both and prevented them from ascending. It made him chuckle because the two of them don't know just how badly they are wasting each other's time. They are already missing out on divinity, but instead of stocking up on Authority, they are spending their divine energy to kill each other's believers, thereby weakening their overall strength.
