GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1798: Preferred Aim.



Legion-2 chuckled and said, "I would not like to be Crystal Hoard right now."

Legion-3 laughed from where he was in the hotel. He said, "I don't want to be Crystal Hoard at any moment. She is just too ugly."

Legion-1 nodded and said, "Things aren't over with Crystal Hoard. She knows where our base of faith is, but we don't know hers."

Legion-7 agreed. He said, "She already came after us when she thought that we had

something that should belong to her. Now that we really have something that belongs to her, things have become personal. So not only are things not over, they are bound to become more heated."

Legion-1 indicated the people shouting about the bounty for the 9 Crowns and said, "She has ramped up her search for us in the divine realm. It is safe to say that she will surely come after us in the mortal realm too, and she will come at us hard. That's why we have to subdue every god around our territory."

"Even if we don't need the land, we should subjugate them and make them join our

Apocalypse Pantheon. We shouldn't have another case of Tempest bringing enemies to our doorstep anymore."

They discussed along the way until they came to the hunting zones. There were few gods around Gemmis, as most of them had gone hunting. Apparently the news about the vote to increase the value of divine beasts has spread. It has made many gods come out to hunt.

In the past, Crystal Hoard had always been around to harass gods. Combined with the little value of hunting divine beasts, it made it not worthwhile to hunt. But Crystal Hoard has been too busy these past few days, and the reward for hunting divine beats has increased. This has increased the amount of gods hunting.

Legion knows why Crystal Hoard has been busy. They also know that she won't be preoccupied anymore. But they are not too worried about meeting her. It is because they have reasons to believe that she put most of her divinity into speed.

There have been many news about how fast Crystal Hoard is. The majority of gods say that she should have put divinity in speed, but they couldn't understand why her attacks were powerful too.

The matter of her unexplained strength had been the flaw in their theory, which made Legion disregard it. But now they know that it is highly likely that she put her divinity into speed since she had golden light.

Golden light relies on Authority, not divinity, so she would have likely put most of her divinity into speed to make herself more deadly. It is something that they would do if they had golden light.

But now that she doesn't have golden light anymore, she has been declawed. She is still dangerous due to her high Authority, but it is not something that they can't resist with Legion-1's 8,000 divinity in endurance.

So they walked with confidence, not fear, out of Gemmis. They noticed the changes in the surrounding elemental zones immediately they set foot outside the city. The ice zone, for example, has become an ice storm zone. The ground is thick with snow, and the surface is so windy, it can make gods stumble.

The visibility has also reduced because of the icy wind, but that doesn't truly affect them. What affected them directly was the fact that the wind was constantly attacking them.

They needed a defense of 100 endurance to avoid being harmed and eventually ground down by the wind. What's more, they needed Strength of 100 to be able to break their feet away from the ground when it freezes every time they step on the ground.

The ice zone had become colder and more dangerous. The other zones have become more dangerous too. They could see the air bending and twisting because of the heat of the lava zone. Its visibility was even poorer than the ice zone because of the smoke and fog being belched into the air.

They asked their angel, "What caused this? Could it be that making divine beasts more valuable has made the environment more dangerous?"

"No. The changes to the environment are mostly due to the awakening of ancient titans. The awakening of the ancient titans makes the divine realm hostile to gods. Since there will be ancient titans awakening from each elemental zone, every elemental zone is also experiencing this increase in hostility. The increase in the strength of the divine beasts does have an effect, but it is a small part of the cause of these changes."

Legion-2 asked, "How powerful are these ancient titans for them to be capable of changing their surroundings like this?"

The angel replied, "I do not have accurate information, but I am certain that a titan is at least equivalent to domain gods."

That reply perked Legion up. They asked, "Will the titans have domains?"

"That is unknown."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Legion-1 rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, you don't know."

They scoffed and dove into the zone of ice. The world began to howl as soon as they stepped into the ice storm. But it didn't impede their senses. It was just unnaturally loud.

Legion-1 stayed in the front while Legion-2 stayed behind. As the one with the 8,000 divinity in Endurance, Legion-1 will be the one to draw danger, while Legion-2 with 7,000 divinity in strength will be the one to finish things off.

The two of them are clad in heavy metal armor. It covers up every inch of their body that they could, which not only grants them protection against injury, it also protects their identity. Legion-1 had a large shield in his left hand with another one on his back and a sword on his right hand. Legion-2 also had a shield on his back and a sword strapped to his waist. What he held in his hands for attacking was a bow.

The two of them advanced cautiously. Their aim is both the divine beasts and any god they come across. But they hope to encounter more gods than divine beasts. After all, divinity is more valuable than divine crystals.
