GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1781: Naysayers.



Legion-1 was deep in thought about what to choose. The cause of his dilemma is that the 9 Crowns is not at the top of any of the 4 rankings. They have made a lot of progress with their religion and have used the prayers of the faithful to produce divinity, but it can't compare to the speed of those who hunt. This means they are not at the top of the divinity ranking.

The divinity ranking is based on levels and the speed with which the gods attained it. That means the first god to attain level 100 is at the top of the list. That god is Crystal Hoard. Unless that she falls and many more gods behind her falls, it won't be Legion's turn.

They are not on top of the Authority ranking either, despite their best efforts. This honor goes to Crystal Hoard. They can roughly guess how she managed to do that based on what they know of her race.

They are confident of total victory if there was ever a fight between her believers and theirs. It is why they have also been looking for her base. Unfortunately, the power of the mortals doesn't necessarily translate to the power of the gods. In this case, the goblins have the advantage of numbers, which has helped their god.

As for the power ranking, they have fought many godlings and true gods, but they haven't fought impressive ones or created impressive feats of valor. Crystal Hoard is currently at the top of this ranking thanks to her level 100 divinity and highest believe count.

Then there is the pantheon ranking. They don't even have a chance in that aspect, as they are the only ones in the Pantheon they created. They might have stood a chance had they spared the god seeds around their base. But they opted for believers instead.

They wouldn't have become the first on this ranking even if they prioritized their Pantheon. They just can't compete against the gods working together.

This is why the Pantheon at the top of this ranking belongs to a large conglomerate sponsored by the same world god in the void universe. The fact that they were sent by the same world god to acquire Domains made them work together to create a powerful Pantheon.

There are many such pantheons. Not even Crystal Hoard's Crystal Hoarder Pantheon can compete with them. So they never stood a chance.

All of these made Legion-1 biased in his decision. Since they are not on top of any of the rankings, they will not gain the yearly reward for it. Voting "no" means they will be able to stop these people who are already stronger than them from gaining more resources to widen the gap. But it also means they won't be able to gain a lead in domains.

Domains are what the god seeds came to this world to find. They are also the most important requirements for True gods to become Domain gods. To vote "no" might rob the strong of their rewards, particularly Crystal Hoard, who is also their enemy, but it will also make Legion stagnate.

At the end of the day, Legion-1 thought to himself, "We haven't reached the level where we need a domain yet. If we vote yes, not only will we be giving the strong more resources, we will also be giving them the avenue to acquire Domains. They are more likely to acquire it than us with their strength."

So he voted no. Then he waited for the tally. His vote only counts as one, unlike the other god kings, who have more than one god in their Pantheon. This means his votes have far less power than those of other god kings.

A minute passed in relative silence. Then Gemmis spoke, "The votes are 932 against, 13 for, and 60 abstained."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"It has been decided. The reward for the ranking shall not be allowed to pass."

There was the sound of a loud bell ringing. It rang once after the declaration of the vote. Legion-1 was sure every god in Gemmis could hear it because the other clones heard it from their hotels. It was that loud.

Then Gemmis continued. "On to the second agenda. There have been requests to increase the benefits of hunting the divine beasts around Gemmis so as to make hunting more efficient." "Currently, the loot from hunting divine beasts regardless of their power is one divine crystal and the occasional divine material. The chances of a divine material dropping after death are directly proportional to the power of the divine beast. But the drop rate of divine crystal is constant."

"To increase the drop rate of these two items, we must increase the power of the divine beasts. I can do so by removing some of my restrictions on them. But if that is done, the divine beasts will become able to grow, so they will become proactive in hunting gods."

"Now vote to increase the benefits of hunting divine beasts, taking note that the position of hunter and prey might change because of this decision. You have one minute to make a decision. You can vote for it, against it, or abstain from voting."

This decision was very easy for Legion. They are not hunting, so they surely don't want the others that are hunting to gain benefits from it. Legion-1 voted no quickly.

Gemmis spoke after a minute. "The votes are 541 for, 438 against, and 26 abstained."

"It has been decided. The power of divine beasts around Gemmis will increase so as to increase the benefits of hunting them."

The loud bell went off again. This time it rang twice. The second time was louder than the first.

Gemmis continued after this. "On to the third agenda. This is the matter of the ancient titans."

This grabbed everyone's attention. This was what they came here for in the first place, so they were eager to gain more information about it.
