Chapter 1799: Warning Signs.
They are not alone in their goal for divinity. Most gods want to stumble onto a weakened god that they can harvest for divinity. Unfortunately, this is the zone of divine beasts. It is more likely to encounter divine beasts than gods. They practically spawn from the ground. One of the newly spawned ones appeared in front of them.
It was a great white wolf made of ice. It was not like the ones that reached their height. This thing towered over them. It was looking down on them as it pawed its clawed feet on the icy ground.
They used insight on it to reveal what they were facing. There was resistance, and it was stronger than what they experienced with divine beasts before, but they still managed to overcome it.

Legion-1 exclaimed when he saw the details of the ice wolf, "Wow."
Not only is the divine beast at the true god level, it also has a rather ominous divine ability. That is aside from its 10,000 hit points value.
These stats are too different from the divine beasts they encountered at the edge of the ice zone back when they just ascended to the divine plane.
Legion-2 couldn't believe it either. He said, "Maybe Gemmis was onto something when it warned the gods about the divine beasts hunting the gods. If this is the weakest one we will encounter, the gods are in for a rude awakening."
The most worrying thing about the divine beasts is their vitality. They often have more hit points than gods and are much more difficult to kill by gods with the same amount of divinity as divine beasts.
At this point, all the gods know that their hit points are calculated as total divinity multiplied by their level. This beast might be a true god, but it has the maximum divinity of a godling, which is 1,000. Stronger beasts deeper into the ice zone will have levels up to 100 and total divinity of 10,000.
So they can expect a fight with a divine beast with hit points up to 1,000,000. In comparison, all of Legion has a little over 90,000 divine energy. While the beasts will be limited to the same amount of divinity as the gods, the difficulty of killing them will make them dangerous. The ice wolf seemed to have sensed their use of insight, or it could also be their hostility. It raised its mouth into the air and howled. This caused the ground to shake and crack. Then ice wolves sprouted from the cracked ground.
The number of ice wolves suddenly increased from one to nine. This number seemed to have emboldened the first ice wolf. It growled and bound towards them.
Legion-1 hunched behind the large shield and shouted, "This is not right. There are just two of us. There shouldn't be nine of them."
His angel said ominously, "Things have changed."
Things have truly changed. The ice wolves have learned to gang up on gods instead of engaging in one-on-one duels. Legion-1 didn't have time to complain, and he didn't have someone to complain to who could fix this injustice. He had to fight now.
So he moved forward to draw the attention of the ice wolves towards himself. It seemed to have worked as the leading ice wolf targeted him first.
It swiped at Legion-1 with its left claw. Legion-2's attack struck it before its attack could connect with Legion-1. The golden light formed into an arrow went through the ice wolf and the one behind it and struck the ground behind them in an explosion of light that got two more ice wolves.
An attack power of 10,500 was that powerful. The four ice wolves that were hit had their hit points drained instantly. Their endurance of 200 was far from enough to give them a second chance.
The four of them broke into icy dust and scattered into the wind. They left behind some divine crystals on the ground and 5 other wolves who appeared to be scared out of their wits.
The five of them raised their snout into the air and howled again. Legion-2 managed to get two more before they called for assistance. The other 3 called for 6 ice wolves each to make a total of 21 ice wolves.
The two of them became surrounded by the ice wolves. Then a fight broke out as the ice wolves tried to rip them apart. Arrows flashed, taking lives with one hit. The ice wolves were just too weak to resist the arrows.
Legion-2's threat level was too high, so they prioritized getting rid of him first, but he was faster than them by too much. They couldn't get close to him at all. Not even their ice elemental attacks could touch him.
He could always see their attack from far. It made it easy for him to dodge. Then he would snipe them from afar. His speed at 2,000 gave him a speed boost at 1, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 so he could attack more than 6 times in a second. This way, he killed all the ice wolves in fourNôv(el)B\\jnn
seconds.
He smiled and said, "That wasn't so difficult."
Legion-1 didn't think so. He said, "That's only because they have godling level divinity. Things will become more dangerous soon. These divine beasts are just the warning signs."
Legion-2 nodded. "But as long as you can handle, I am good to go."
Actually, if given time, Legion-1 would have been able to kill all the ice wolves on his own. They couldn't threaten him with his 8,000 endurance and the 10% boost from his armor.
And if he were to be pressed, he could always add 2,000 more Endurance using the Divine Endurance spell. Meanwhile, he can hurt them with his 1,000 strength and is also faster than
them too.
