GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1789: The Secret Weapon.

She has invested a lot, but it doesn't make sense to them for her to risk so much because even if she wins, she will only kill their avatar. And if she loses, she will lose her divine weapon and her last remaining Oracle.

The investment and the reward don't appear proportional at all, so it looks like she has a stupid decision. But they don't think she is stupid. She is an Immortal after all. She can't be so stupid as to risk so much for so little. That means there must be something else that is going to gain that they can't see. So they decided to make preparations for their uncertainty.

The 8 of them were flying at 3,000 meters per second. It is almost ten times the speed of sound. It is nowhere the speed they are capable of in the void universe as immortals, but it is exceptional here in God's Domain.

Their passing is silent, as their avatars are invisible to most beings and intangible. Not even air was disturbed in their passing, so they didn't create any signs of their passage or alert their target to their presence. Even so, only one avatar continued along to the site of the hidden Oracles. The rest didn't follow. They decided to stay back and react based on the situation.

Legion-1 was the one who volunteered to go. He has protected himself with the tier 2 divine shield spell. It grants him a defense of 20% of his Authority at the cost of 100 DE.

It is necessary to protect himself because this is not his true body. This avatar can only bare damage of 100, and it doesn't have any divinity, so it doesn't have endurance to resist attacks. That means it can pop with the slightest blow.

The shield around him gave him a slight confidence. Then he moved around to look for the Oracles. He didn't need to look far. They were in huts around a lake hidden in the forest.

He discovered something odd immediately. There were 10 Oracles instead of 8. He can account for the extra one if there are nine. That would be the Oracle of the true god since there ought to be 8 oracles belonging to the 8 godlings that she is controlling forcefully.

He asked himself, "Has she gained the help of another true god or has she subjugated another godling?" Most importantly, why didn't the traitor inform us of this critical information?"

As it is, he can't tell which of the two new Oracles belongs to her, much less identify which one belongs to a true god or a godling. This is a problem that can be solved easily with insight.

But using insight is likely to alert the gods behind the Oracles to his presence. That will give away the element of surprise that he can use to his advantage.

He decided to attack first. After all, if he eliminates them first, then it doesn't matter what god they belong to. As long as they are dead, their threat will be neutralized.

He said to the other clones, "Let's act now."

The other clones won't join him yet. Their job right now is to use a greater miracle to cause the animals in the forest to stampede towards the hut.

The animals will take up the attention of the oracles. Then he will take advantage of them as they are trying to save themselves. Only then will the other clones rush into the ensuing battle. The chaos they will create will surely affect whatever plan she has prepared for them. But no sooner had the clones used their divine spell had one of the oracles sensed it. The eyes of the oracle glowed, and she raised her head in the direction of the clones. It was the direction they had just used a divine spell.

Legion was taken aback. "How did she sense it? This god must have possessed the Oracle for a long time in preparation for this moment, or the Oracle has an ability that is very sensitive to danger and the use of divine spells."

"If it is the first, then this god must have invested a lot waiting for us. If it is the latter, then this oracle must die today."

They were still reeling from the fact that they were discovered the moment they made a move, but that didn't stop Legion-1 from attacking. A divine strike shot forward to kill the oracle. But she blocked it with a raise of her hand.

Legion-1 received a notification.

-You Hit ??? with Divine Strike(2).

-Judgement: Attack Fail.

-Damage: -ohp.

She had cast a divine spell, and her authority was high enough to block his attack completely. But what surprised Legion more was that the hood covering the head of the Oracle fell when they acted. What was displayed was the face of a goblin. It was not an orc.

Legion-1 felt an intuition of danger immediately. "This is not Tempest's Oracle. What is the oracle of a goblin true god doing here?"

The identity of the extra oracle as a goblin confirmed that the oracle didn't belong to Tempest as she is an Orc goddess, not a goblin goddess. This goblin was also able to block his attack, which is something that a mortal can't do, not unless they are possessed by a god with a higher Authority than him.

This means that not only has Tempest gotten the help of another god, she has gotten the help of a goblin god who has more authority than them. This is worrying in itself. But things got worse.

The other new Oracle also lifted her head from her hut and looked at him in the sky. It was an orc Oracle and it was possessed.

She said to him, "I hope you like the secret weapon that I have prepared for you. I put in a lot of effort for it."

He said in realization, "We have been deceived."
