GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1809: The Orc Bandits.



The difficulty of hunting had increased, but the clones still thrived thanks to this situation. There could have been peace, but the pantheons were greedy for divinity. It just so turned out that a pantheon was a large coalition of sources of divinity. It was too large for them to ignore.

Large pantheons hunted small ones, and two or more pantheons ganged up on another. Legion followed along like vultures following the trial of destruction created by war. Their specialization in various stats and their perfect corperation helped them to survive between the large teeth of Pantheons. The addition of a weapon that can change shapes and be used for both attacking and defending, and the spear that uses Authority made them stand out and thrive.

They soon made a name for themselves as the 6 Orc bandits. This is because they were always working together as a group of six. Their weapon that could change shape and the golden spear became iconic for their group. They acquired enough reputation for Crystal Hoard to be able to track them down in the divine realm.

She didn't come alone like last time she ambushed them in the mortal realm. She came with her Pantheon and made it her life's mission to hunt them down. She chased after them all over the divine pantheon like a rabid dog. This made it impossible for them to hunt.

Other Pantheons will not forget it when someone takes advantage of them. They won't forgive either, but they will move on with their lives. But the Pantheon of Crystal Hoarding didn't move on from pursuing the 9 Crowns and his band of orc bandits.

In fact, they didn't do anything else if they could pursue the orc bandits. They were focused on that single endeavor above all else.

This harassment of the orc bandits continued for weeks. Things became so bad that the clones couldn't leave the city. They would be attacked as soon as they left. The only place they could find peace was in Gemmis or along the 10-meter safe zone around the walls of Gemmis.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Currently, three of the clones are within the safe zone, staring back at the Crystal Hoarding Pantheon. They are three because the other three clones just died.

As for the Crystal Hoarding Pantheon, they have exactly 53 gods. They were 65, but Legion managed to kill 12. So the orc bandits had traded the lives of 3 clones for 12 enemies.

It was a good trade. Unfortunately, that isn't much of a loss to the Crystal Hoarding Pantheon because they were able to retrieve the divine orbs of their comrades. They were even able to retrieve the divine orbs of the three clones they killed, so they gained from the fight.

The Crystal Hoarding Pantheon have had numerous such victories, which has emboldened them. The only thing weird about them is that they are being led by a goblin, and most of them are goblins.

Their appearance didn't take away from their ferocity, though. They stared down at the remaining orc bandits from the other side of the safety line with an imposing aura and smug expressions on their faces.

Crystal Hoard said to Legion-3, "Why don't you come out and fight? Let us do this one-on- one. Whoever wins will take both of the weapons. I have a divine contract here to prove my sincerity. Sign it and fight me. Regardless of the outcome of the fight, I will stop bordering you in God's Domain."

She is speaking to Legion-3 because he is the one in possession of her spear. She knows that he is not the 9 Crowns, though. She has seen the 9 Crowns before, so she recognized Legion-1 as her most hated enemy.

She believes that Legion-1 is the first true god of the Northern Realm and the one she tried to kill. As for Legion-3, she believes that he had bought the spear from Legion-1 and managed to steal it from her.

She didn't anticipate that her spear could be stolen at all. Even now she doesn't know how he did it because her angel doesn't know. An Authority weapon is just so rare and so little is known about it that its previous owner doesn't know everything about it.

Now she has to force Legion-1 and Legion-3 to make a deal with her in order to recover her Golden Light. But she doesn't plan to stop there. She still wants to take Legion-1 special weapon that can change shape and can also be shared with others.

Legion-3 had to ask, "Are you out of your mind? Why would we bet two powerful weapons in a fight that we can only gain one thing from?"

She replied with a smile, "Such coarse language. No, I am not out of my mind. What I am is more powerful than you. That's why I can make such a request. You either bet and fight or be terrorized forever."

Legion-3 said to her, "Fine. You win. We won't be able to hunt anymore. Are you happy now?" His reply made her frown, "Don't be unreasonable. Hunting is just a side effect of my actions. You don't think much of it now because the only thing you have to gain are divine crystals and divinity. But what about Titan crystals? How will you get them if you can't leave Gemmis?" Legion-3 scoffed, "It is not even certain that every god combined will be able to kill the ancient titan. Even if that were to happen, by blocking me here, you also won't be able to participate in the hunt. So it is lose-lose for the both of us."

She countered, "Not if I make my Pantheon block you while I go hunt."

Legion-1 interjected, "You will still lose the support of your Pantheon. How will you succeed in claiming a fragment of the heart of the titan if you don't have the help of your Pantheon while other god kings do? So it is still going to be a lose-lose situation for us."
