Chapter 1787: Ransoming Oracles.



It is not Legion's style to be passive, so they have been taking the fight to their enemies. It is routine at this point. Once every day, they will attack one of the three true gods flanking

them.

It is something of a slow and cautious grind against their enemies. By the looks of things, they are winning. If given time, they will surely be able to assimilate the tribes at the edge of their territory. But they don't have time.

Everything is a race for gods. Especially now that the ancient titans are awakening. They don't know what to expect. All they know is that more power can't be a bad thing. So they are throwing a lot of caution to the wind and hitting their enemies with a hard blow.

This time Legion-1 is picking the most powerful enemy on their left side to attack. This is the only true god on their left side. The other two true gods are on their right.

Because this god was too far away when Legion became true gods, she survived the culling that Legion visited on the god seeds around them. Because this true god was the first in her region to become a true god, she used the advantage of power to gain more advantages in Authority.

Unlike Legion, who killed every Oracle around their territory, this true god kidnapped the oracles of other gods and took them hostage. Then she used the Oracles to pressure the gods into doing her bidding.

She killed the Oracles of the stubborn gods and wiped out their religion while she forced the obedient ones to meet her demands. One of those demands is joining her pantheon when they become true gods.

But she didn't let them become true gods yet. That's because when they do, they will have the power to resist her and will be able to create another Oracle even if she kills the hostage with her.

There's also the fact that they can challenge her even if they join her pantheon. They may be able to work together to surmount her position as god king. After all, being the creator of a Pantheon doesn't mean someone else can't steal it from you.

It will be difficult to take her position from her, but as long as they are stronger than the god king, they can challenge the god king and take his throne. So she is waiting to become a domain god before allowing her surbodinate gods to become true gods.

She hasn't admitted to this, but her instructions, forcing the god seeds to remain godlings after forcing them to promise to join her Pantheon when they become true gods, have clued Legion in to what she is waiting for.

Legion will admit that it is a wise plan. Which is why she is the most dangerous god to them. They have to get rid of her before she becomes a domain god or allows the other gods around her to become true gods and join her pantheon.

She is currently weaker than them in terms of Authority because she allowed the religions of the other gods to exist. But that won't be the case for long if she gains a 99% increase in Authority. So they have to get rid of her soon.

Legion-1 thought to himself on his way to territory, "It is a pity that there's no sure way to corner these gods in the divine realm or we would get rid of them easily."

He would like to go over and kill the main bodies of the gods. Unfortunately, competition between gods in the mortal realm is not straightforward.

Not only is it difficult to find the god, killing them, be it their main bodies or avatars, will only be a temporary victory that will have little effect on the progress of the religious war. No matter what they do, unless they kill the Oracles, the gods won't die and their religion won't suffer much.

Killing their avatars is even more of a waste because they won't even get a temporary death like the ones they get for killing the gods in the divine realm. It is only until they kill all their Oracles in the mortal realm that they can have victory.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The other option is to destroy their altar in the divine realm. But that is even more difficult than finding an oracle that has decided to hide. They can't employ a network of spies like they do to infiltrate the religions of their opponents and find out the location of the oracles.

They don't even know the identity of the god in the divine realm and where they reside. So destroying the divine altar is not an option. They can only rely on their spies.

But spies take time to get useful information. It is why they haven't been able to eliminate the other true gods despite being stronger than them.

The best they have had to settle for is pressuring the god in the mortal realm until they lose too much faith. Their Authority will fall, which will reduce their power and maximum divine energy.

Without faith, they won't be able to replenish their divine energy or create divinity. This way, the survivability of the gods in the divine realm will reduce, and they will lag behind until they are no longer a threat.

They also won't be able to protect their oracles once Legion finds them if they don't have divine energy. Unfortunately, this kind of subtle warfare is slow and needs a large amount of investment in divine energy.

The reason he didn't kill her when he first became a true god was because she was too far away. It didn't seem worth it to go that far, as it required divine energy to maintain his avatar. Plus, his tribe wouldn't be able to assimilate the territory fast enough to prevent someone closer from taking advantage of his work. But now he has to spend the divine energy he didn't want to spend in the first place to go to her territory, and he has to spend it every day just to harass her.
