GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1816: Generosity As High As A Mountain.



Not even the gods waiting in the other room noticed when golden light appeared and destroyed the altar. There wasn't even a second delay between Crystal Hoard dying and her altar getting destroyed.

One of the gods said, "This is not a weapon. It is light that is golden."

Meanwhile, in the mortal realm. The god king had just warned Legion-1 when the golden spear returned to his hands. Even before 9 Crowns taunted them, they had paused and then run away.

Legion-1 sneered at them. He thought to himself, "You think because you are allies you are clones too?"

The only reason Legion had been able to catch golden light was because it was delayed. It didn't return immediately to the mortal realm after destroying Legion-1 and their altar because it wanted to kill the other clones too. Unfortunately, it couldn't attack them from within anymore, so they were able to capture it.

This is why he was confident to use golden light to resist. Even if it didn't work, he would simply use his backup plan, which is to allow the other clones to help him.

The contract said they couldn't help 9 Crowns unless they were attacked. It also didn't say they couldn't defend themselves. Legion-2 made sure that they could defend themselves, which means they could help him. After all, they are 9 Crowns too.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Their angel had assured them that they wouldn't be breaking the contract if the other clones, decided to help him. The only adverse effect would be that it would clue others to their abnormality. Their secret of being the same person might come out.

But now it seems he was worried for nothing. He alone will be able to take care of these gods.

He gave chase immediately and began killing them one after the other. He would throw golden light out, and they would die from one hit. This is because golden light has been upgraded again.

(Name: Golden Light)

(Type: God-Killing Authority Weapon)

(Tier 5 (Evolvable): 0/1,000,000,000)

(Attack Power: 100% of Authority +10% of Total Divinity)

(Ability: Destroys the body, avatar, and altar of a god as long as a target dies to this weapon.)

(Description: This is a weapon for killing gods. If you can kill a god once with this weapon, you don't need to fight them again to kill them again.)

They had upgraded it from Tier 3 to Tier 5. So its power has increased from 70% of Authority to 100% and 10% of their total divinity. They have Crystal Hoard and her allies to thank for this.

It cost them 100,000 and 1,000,000 million divinity to bring it to Tier 5. Golden Light can now use 100% of his Authority which is currently 11,000, and 10% of his total divinity, which is 1,000, for a sum of 12,000 in attack power.

Their enemies, on the other hand, can only use 20% of their Authority to defend. Yet, they gave Legion 5,500,000 divinity to strengthen themselves. It is indisputable that the generosity of these god kings is the highest Legion has ever encountered.

Legion is humble enough to admit that they can never match up to them in terms of generosity. The only thing they can do is make sure that this generosity does not go to waste. They have to make sure that they use golden light to its fullest potential. That's why he mustn't let any of his enemies go. It would be shameful to let any of his enemies go after he has been blessed so much. Killing his enemies is literally the one thing he has to do. He mustn't fail at it.

Fortunately, it is pretty easy work. Crystal Hoard's effective defense with Divine Shield was at 5,200 and she is the god with the highest Authority. If she couldn't take on one attack, then the rest of them can't.

Things might have been different in the divine realm since they could use the endurance of their divine body to resist too. But they are only here in the form of their avatars. They are doomed to die.

The gods were not stupid. They realized this fact and ran in different directions so that he wouldn't be able to kill all of them. Then they canceled their avatars. It would take one second for their avatars to dissipate. It is slow, but it is enough for many of them to survive.

Legion-1 is not stupid either. He only chased the gods who ran in the direction they came from. He wasn't disappointed when they cancelled their avatars. He simply continued in the direction they came from. After all, that's the direction that their Oracles are in.

The gods saw this and sent messages to their Oracles to scatter. Only Crystal Hoard's one remaining Oracle didn't receive any warning from her God. After all, her God was currently indisposed. But he too ran when he saw the other Oracles fleeing for their lives.

Unfortunately, it was too late for them. Legion-1's other backup plans had kicked into action. His subordinate gods from the Apocalypse Pantheon had surrounded the Oracles and were killing them.

Legion-1 didn't make the gods come directly toward him just to keep them together so that he could attack them together. He could have let them scatter and then hunted them separately.

That way, even if Golden Light didn't work, he and his Pantheon would have been able to overwhelm their avatars. But what benefit would killing their avatars bring?

Even if Golden Light worked, the best he would have gained from killing their avatars is delaying their resurrection. That isn't good enough for him. What he wants are their Oracles. So he already planned to eliminate the Oracles no matter the cost.

Even if golden light had failed and the help of his clones hadn't turned the tide, his pantheon would still surround and attack their Oracles. That way he would ensure that they lost something in this attack.
