GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1788: A Mystery Weapon.

Sure, the distance he needs to cover has diminished greatly now that their territory is close to each other, but the cost in divine energy becomes significant if he has to do so every day.

This time, Legion is spending 8 times that amount because 8 of them are going to attack her at once instead of sending one clone at a time. It is truly a lot of investment in hopes for a quick resolution to the conflict.

Fortunately, all of his efforts have not been fruitless. He has managed to kill one Oracle of every true god. This is mostly thanks to having more than one body. One clone would pursue the oracle while another holds back the god's avatar.

But that's not going to work anymore because the gods have hidden their second Oracle so that they wouldn't be able to find it. That has made spreading their religion slower, which has played into their favor.

Orcs are literally migrating to the territory of the 9 Crowns after hearing of his feats in fighting three false gods. The true gods are barely hanging on. Which is why the two true gods on their right chose to cooperate against the 9 Crowns.

As for the most dangerous goddess on his left side, she too has hidden her second Oracle. But she has something else that he can target. She has the Oracles of the other gods as hostage. She had kept them hidden well. But the gods she is forcing to do her bidding are not of one mind with her.

Hiding their Oracle meant that they couldn't preach and expand their religion. Things were already bad before when their Oracles were hostages and had to preach that she was the one true god and they were her surbodinates.

The orcs were more willing to worship the true god than the subordinate. Now they can't even preach at all because of the harassment of the 9 Crowns. The 9 Crowns was slowly pushing them into a dead end. Something had to be done to end the conflict.

The godlings were so desperate that one of them reached out to Legion through another true god. This traitor exposed the location of their hideout in exchange for the life of his Oracle. Legion took the deal and signed the divine contract to the effect. That's why 8 of them are going together to wipe out their enemies in one fell swoop.

They are very eager to put an end to their troubles, but they are still going to be cautious about how they go ahead with it. It is not even about their usual cautious nature.

Their traitor has informed them that she has created a powerful divine weapon and has brought it to the mortal realm to use it to deal with him. It is truly something to be cautious of.

Even so, they couldn't help but be full of anticipation, both for the upcoming victory and the loot that they might have after their victory.

Legion-1 said, "This better be good. We have brought out most of our firepower for this. It has to be worth it."

Legion-2 said in anticipation, "Anything a true god has planned to use to deal with another true god in the mortal realm has to be good."

Usually only one of the clones descends to attack the other true gods. This is to give them the illusion that the 9 Crowns is one god and only has one occasional ally. But they have to be very serious today, as they can't underestimate a powerful divine weapon.

Fighting amongst gods in the mortal realm is through an exchange of divine spells. That means divinity is almost useless in the mortal realm. Only Authority matters. But she brought out a divine weapon to deal with them. They have to take the divine weapon that can change the dynamics seriously.

They reached the edge of her territory and stopped. They made Legion-9 contact the traitor for an update on the situation. It was an act done through their cautious nature. They didn't expect anything special. But they received more information that increased the severity of the situation.

The traitor just told them that her remaining Oracle has also arrived to use the divine weapon against them.

It made the clones frown. Legion-2 wondered, "What is she planning?"

Legion-3 asked, "Even if she destroys our avatar, it won't affect us apart from the loss of some divine energy. Why would she want to invest so much to get so little in return?"

Legion-2 was wondering the same. He asked, "Something seems fishy about this. Could it be that the traitor is fooling us?"

Legion-1 shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be so. He swore in the divine contract. But it is possible that he has false information or someone is deceiving him."

They asked their angel to confirm the authenticity of the divine contract. It replied, "The divine contract will be enforced by the world based on what it knows. Currently, it knows that the traitor isn't working with your enemy in any way in God's Domain. But the same cannot be said about outside God's Domain."

Legion-2 didn't like that answer, "So it is possible that they are working together to pull one over us."

Legion-4 advised, "Either way, I propose that we take necessary precaution."

They have a lot of reasons to be cautious. On their side is the investment of 100 divine energy to create an avatar. On the other side is the investment of a divine weapon and the life of an oracle.

They can guess what the purpose of the Oracle is for. A divine weapon, especially a very powerful one, cannot be used by mortals. They know that. But an oracle can use it when they are possessed by their god. That will certainly give the true god an advantage over them, but it will also increase the burden on the Oracle and the subsequent loss of lifespan.

So not only is she risking the life of her Oracle, she is willing to expend the oracle's life span to use the divine weapon.
