GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1753: Elemental Zones



They matched together while they listened to their angel inform them of the material they needed to build their altar and where to get it. Their angel described a lot of difficulties they could face, but they were confident in themselves.

Legion-1 is undoubtedly their source of confidence. With his Endurance at 320, it would take a god with an Authority of 3200 using Divine Strike or a god with 320 in Strength to harm him at all.

Even if that were possible, they will not allow it to happen without interfering with Divine Spells. The addition of the use of Divine Shield will make it more difficult to harm him. But they are not eager to use divine spells at all. It is something that they will use as a last resort.

From what they can deduce, even though Divine Spells are powerful, any god seed using Divine Spells is ready to pay any price to kill their enemy, including their death. It is because Divine Spells are expensive to use.

It is clear to them that they have to be careful when they use Divine Spells because regardless of the outcome of the divine spell, it will cost them a part of their life.

As it is, they can't regenerate Divine Energy. They will have to return to the temple at the center of Gemmis and use the Divine Investiture to harvest the prayers of their believers. So if they are caught lacking with divine energy outside of the city, then they will be in a lot of trouble.

This is the dilemma that the gods are facing, but none of them appear to be miffed at the unfavorable situation. It is partly because they are used to fighting at the edge of death. Plus, the knowledge of the importance of divine energy to gods is not new to them.

When combined with the fact that every god seed is an immortal in the void universe, this becomes a challenge that they are confident they can handle, as can be seen by the fact that everyone is still rushing outside of the city to fight.

Gemmis is safe ground. No fighting is allowed within it, and it also rejects the entry of divine beasts. Divine beasts are currently the only stable source of divinity and divine crystals. So every god seed must leave the city to hunt them or hunt each other.

Legion passed through the ornate city gate and ran into the wild. Outside Gemmis is a plain with a wide assortment of biomes. Some parts of the plains are frozen ice fields as large as oceans. Others are oceans of boiling lava or actual oceans of water. There are also large deserts and hurricane infested zones.

The zones are scattered and have no order to their placement. The one thing they have in common is that they are homes to creatures that are powerful enough to inhabit them and even change their environment with their power.

Their angel said to them, "These creatures are divine beasts. They will drop divine crystals when they die. They might also drop other parts of their body, but that rarely happens. You need divine crystals to create Divine gold. Divine gold can be used to forge divine weapons, but for now we need Divine crystals and souls to build your altar."

"We need 100 divinity, 10,000 units of Divine crystals, 100 mortal souls, and 10,000 mortal gold for the altar. The first two can be acquired up here in the divine realm but the last two require resources that only the mortals have."

Their angel then gave them a lot of information about the divine beasts to help make a decision about their hunting plan. They were able to make a preliminary plan and choose an elemental zone to attack. They ran towards the zone as fast as they could as soon as they made their decision.

Many god seeds looked at them as they passed. Their faces and eyes were expressionless since their current bodies were puppets, but Legion could still sense hostility from them. It didn't surprise them at all. After all, the incentive to attack other gods is too high.

Even if there were no direct benefits, just the fact that they can eliminate their competition by killing is enough incentive to attack other god seeds.

The fact that they would gain 50% of the total divinity of a slain god seed is just too enticing a bonus that has made it certain that the god seeds will attack each other in the near future.

If they were not so unsure of their prowess and how they match against other god seeds, they wouldn't bother hunting the relatively safer divine beasts. They would rather hunt other gods. That's the nature of those who claimed a mountain of corpses to become immortal. Legion was also looking at them as if they were fresh meat or fruits that they could pluck. They also have a high level so they don't believe that they have much to fear from the other god seeds.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Before Aeternus or anyone else could suggest they divert their attention to hunting other gods, Legion-1 denied the request and said, "There's still time for that after we get the divine crystals we need. Besides, they need time to grow their stats. Most of them will only have 1 divinity in their physical attributes. There isn't anything to gain from attacking them now."

They consoled themselves as they ran towards an ice domain. Ice domains are large patches of land that are inhabited by divine beasts of various types but all wield the ice element. This ice domain is mainly inhabited by ice wolves.

These ice wolves are ice elementals. Their entire body is made of ice, down to their sharp white claws. Because of this, they are mainly white. Only their eyes are blue. And only some of them have blue streaks in the fur. Those ones are also larger in size and probably more powerful than the rest.
