GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1802: A Major Obstacle.



If they can't stop the gods from coming to hunt, they certainly can't stop the gods from killing each other. As long as they kill each other, the ice wolves will try to take advantage of the situation.

So they focused on what they came to do, and that was accumulating divinity. The ice wolves must not stop them from achieving that, and that's all that matters to them currently. They were able to fill their pouches and return to Gemmis to empty them several times. This made the divine energy they spent to remain in the ice zone worth it.

Their hunt continued for days on end. They were able to earn more than 70,000 divinity in 5 days. That number increased to 90,000 after 6 days. They even earned a lot of divine artifacts that dropped from the gods that were killed.

The major obstacle they faced other than the ice wolves came in the form of pantheons. They met several large pantheons hunting divine beasts and gods in the elemental zone. They had to run from this group of pantheons.

This became frequent due to the inhospitability of the elemental zone to lone gods or small groups of gods. Those gods either stopped coming to hunt because it was too dangerous or they formed large groups, so only the large pantheons remained roaming about.

The two of them were able to leave when they showed their strength. Most pantheons let them go because they were too dangerous to fight. But there were some pantheons who wanted to kill them because of their strength. After all, if they are strong, they will leave a lot of divinity behind when they die.

The two clones didn't want to fight 50 gods and one god king, so they chose to escape. The pantheon didn't let them go just because they didn't want to fight. The decision the clones made not to prioritize their speed showed its ugly head now.

The two of them have 1,000 and 2,000 divinity in speed, and even with the 20% boost of their Authority which made it 3,000 and 4,000, they couldn't avoid the fastest gods who had 5,000 in speed even without the enhancement of their Authority.

These fast enemies could keep up with them and attack them. They had to fight them off if they were to escape from the pantheon. So even while being chased, they were already losing divine energy, and their enemy was gaining on them.

The good news is that these fast gods were incredibly weak. They couldn't harm Legion-1, who was the slowest, which allowed Legion-2 to kill them in less than a second.

This is usually the point when the pantheon will give up on pursuing them. Something about seeing a god killed with a single shot tended to discourage them. But not this particular pantheon.

They had to use Divine Hold and other divine spells to keep themselves from being surrounded. They were tempted to use Divine judgment and Divine crippling on their enemies to quickly end difficult enemies, but they didn't use them.

Divine judgment would reduce the divine energy of their enemy by 20%, while Divine crippling will reduce the divinity of their enemy by 20%. They are clearly very powerful divine spells and will work as long as their Authority is greater than the target.

With Divine judgment, they can kill the strongest enemy with five spells over five seconds, while with divine crippling, they can weaken a god enough for them to be able to kill it within a second or two with physical attacks.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But the two of the divine spells will cost 20% of their own divine energy each time they are used. This is not 100 DE that their other divine spells cost. It will cost them 2,000 with full divine energy.

So unless they are near death, these spells are not things they can use. But they don't want to be near death. That's the very thing they are trying to avoid.

If they die, they will lose half of their divinity and the divine orbs that they have just harvested. So they kept trying to escape.

Fortunately, they are not without options. Their decision to prioritize strength didn't fail them now. Legion-2 was able to cut down their pursuers and stop them from getting close to them.

Even if they had put all their divinity into Endurance, Legion-2's base attack of 10,500 will still be a threat to them. In the situation when their enemies only have 2,000 to 3,000 divinity in Endurance, they had to use their all to resist a single attack or be killed with one shot.

This way they were able to keep the pantheon of their backs. They were even able to kill many gods. Only those with bows and other ranged attacks could harm them but they weren't strong enough to harm the two of them.

However, the god king didn't give up. He continued to chase them because he wanted their powerful weapon and because despite the death of so many gods, they haven't lost much.

He shouted at them from behind, "Just drop your weapon and I will let you go. You are only wasting time and divine energy. I don't know how much of divine energy you have, but it will eventually run out and I will have my weapon."

The clones didn't listen to him and neither could they. Myraid Armament is bound to them. They can't even sell it if they want.

As a reply, the clones killed two more of the gods in his pantheon. This made him shout out at them.

"Come on, don't be a tease. Is your weapon as valuable as 5,000 divinity? I don't think so and I doubt you think so."

"You know you're going to have to give up one of them at the end of the day. Let's just skip the foreplay and choose the easiest option now. Give up your weapon and I will let you go. Let us leave this encounter both satisfied."
