Chapter 1820: The Issue With Divine Calamities.
Death is not something that they usually worry about because, in the void universe, they are all immortal. If they will resurrect after being killed. The only thing they consider is preparation for a swift resurrection and avoidance of world gods.
That's why they didn't think anything special of their immortality in this world. It is completely normal for them to come back from the dead.
If there is anything noteworthy about their immortality as gods, it is that resurrection is faster here. But now they know that it is even worse than the immortality that they normally enjoy, as they can lose it and lose access to this world completely.
It also reminded them of their disdain for the gods of the void universe.
Time passed in the divine realm. Pantheons fought, and gods fell. The gods that fell did so in the normal way. They lost all of their Oracles and had to start again somewhere else in the mortal realm.
The most notable thing that happened was that the divine calamity was killed. The god that dealt the last blow got a special divine spell. A regional announcement was made to announce this event to the divine realm.
--The Divine Calamity Has Been Killed
-Congratulations To Smite For This Achievement
Smite didn't kill the divine calamity on his own. He was just lucky enough to be the last one to hit it. His luck made him reap the reward of a special divine spell while everyone else had to settle for the divine crystals that had dropped.
So it didn't come as a surprise to anyone that Smite was killed soon after. Everyone knew to expect him to besieged even if he had killed the divine calamity on his own and didn't offend hundreds of gods when he stole their kill.
Unfortunately, the divine spell didn't drop. They only got Smite's 5,000 divinity. It is 500 times better than the 1,000 divine crystals that the divine calamity dropped, but the gods were not content with it.
They wanted the special divine spell, but it didn't drop. The gods were disappointed and had to return to hunting each other or divine beasts. Many also decided to raise their own divine calamities.
Raising divine calamities is a complicated affair. The gods fed divinity to divine beasts. This strengthened the divine beasts, but it didn't turn them into divine calamities.
The divine beasts reached their limit and couldn't eat anymore divinity. But they still didn't turn into divine calamities. It made them realize that they were missing something in the creation process of divine calamities.
Fortunately, their attempts weren't a complete failure. Some of the strengthened divine beasts managed to escape and killed many gods. They used their god devouring ability a lot during this process. This fulfilled the last condition they needed to transform into divine calamities.
Unfortunately, this success didn't turn out well for most of the people that created divine calamities. The divine calamities chose to escape, which rendered their work a waste. Some were even killed by the divine calamities they created.
As for those srikk alive, they had to chase after the divine calamity to kill it, but they couldn't hog the divine calamity to themselves because a regional announcement always went up whenever one was created. This allowed other gods to hunt their divine calamities and reap the fruit of their labor.
This suicidal behavior eventually discouraged the gods from creating divine calamities. The fact that 9 Crowns made leaving Gemmis a very bad idea combined with this discouragement to put a stop to the endeavor of creating divine calamities completely.
Crystal Hoard was gone, but she had been replaced by 9 Crowns. This Orc with golden light was going around hunting gods and had become a terror, so the gods didn't want to leave Gemmis anymore. But something happened to encourage the gods to go at creating divine calamities again.
-Congratulations To Smite For Being The First Domain God.
-The Hero Training System Has Been Established.
Apparently, the first god to kill a divine calamity managed to become the first domain god. Every god became suspicious immediately. They couldn't help but draw a line between the two achievements.
Smite confirmed it when he sold the information that he also gained a quest that led him to a domain when he killed the divine calamity.
Legion had to ask their angel after they got the information, "Why didn't you tell us? We wanted to create our divine calamities, but you discouraged us of it."
Their tiny angel shook its head and said, "I didn't know that it was possible. I'm not all knowing, you know. But now that I know that it is possible to receive a domain quest by killing divine calamities, I know that the chances are very small. It is at 5%."
It explained, "You would have needed to create at least 20 divine calamities for a reasonable chance at getting the quest. There haven't even been up to 20 divine calamities in the 9 years since the first one was created. At this point, only two gods have received the quest, including Smite."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Legion-1 asked, "You mean to say that there is a potential domain god out there?"
The angel replied with a giggle, "Yes."
Legion-2 had to ask, "What exactly determines what you know and don't know?"
"As I have said, what I know depends on what you have encountered and what you know. But there are times when the system wants you to know something, so they make the information available to me."
Legion-2 said, "I am guessing your knowledge of the potential domain god is one of those things the system wants us to know."
"Yes."
Legion-3 asked seriously, "Has anyone ever called you unreliable?"
The angel nodded seriously. It said, "Many gods have called me that. Especially the ones that ask me if 9 Crowns is out hunting or not, and I tell them that I don't know. They say that I am not reliable. It has happened a lot of times in the last five years."
