Chapter 1813: Getting Allies.
She complained immediately, "I have a lot to do. 48 hours is too short to do them."
He didn't agree. "Well, you will have to deal with it because I can't give you anymore time. Do you think entertaining the idea of betrayal is not enough offense to 9 Crowns? Now I have even gone ahead to negotiate the betrayal with you, so I have thoroughly offended him."
"9 Crowns can't betray me or our alliance will break and he will have to compensate me instead, but he already knows too much about me. I would like to prepare for the repercussions of my betrayal as soon as possible. I have a lot to do that must be done in less than 48 hours, so you only have 48 hours."
She had to agree, so she left and went to call on some god kings for an alliance. She still left her Pantheon to guide the four gates of Gemmis, and she even spoke with 9 Crowns to inform him of the impending betrayal of his allies.
She teased him through the system communication, "So what do you want to do now that your allies are leaving you? The best thing you can do now is let me join your alliance. I will go from being your enemy to your friend."
Legion-1 scoffed, "I don't want you to be my friend."
Then he cut off the communication line.
She was rejected, but Crystal Hoard was happy. She said to herself, "His weapon must have reached its limits. That's why he can't add me to his alliance. No one should be this stubborn in the face of impending doom."
She doesn't believe that an immortal will bear a grudge over the fact that she killed him. What every god wants is a domain. They will do anything to acquire it. That includes befriending someone who killed them a while back.
That is the smart thing to do. To do something so foolish as not to make her his ally can only be because he can't. Not because he doesn't want to. This made her believe what Legion-2 told her more.
So she was filled with confidence when she called the god kings of other Pantheons for an alliance. She told them of 9 Crowns' reward for being the first true god and how it can be used as a means to strengthen many gods. She then proposed that they take it and use it to create an alliance of God kings just like 9 Crowns did.
They had a lot of questions, especially about why they had to fight 9 Crowns for his weapon when they could just ally with him. She resolved that issue by explaining that there was a limit and 9 Crowns had reached it.
Then they asked why they couldn't join the alliance after 9 Crowns' current allies broke their ties with him. She explained that it was because he had to wait a year before he could select a new ally.
They still thought it was a good idea to wait a year and join his alliance. After all, one year is not a long time at all. But Crystal Hoard didn't want to wait a year because that meant her pantheon would have to continue pressuring him for that one year.
Doing something like that will make them stagnate. Not only that, the titans can awaken any time soon, and she will need them to fight the ancient titans.
The titans are also not the only reason why she would need her pantheon. Anything can come up during that one year. To have them patrolling the surroundings of Gemmis will preoccupy them for one year. It is something unacceptable to her.
Besides, anything can happen in that one year. 9 Crowns can grow too strong for them to deal with. It is something that is more likely to happen if she doesn't pressure him with her pantheon or if another group of gods set their eyes on becoming his allies after one year and decides to help him.
So she convinced them to pressure 9 crowns by revealing the fact that she knew the location of his religion in the mortal realm. They agreed only to balk at the cost of breaking 9 Crowns alliance.
One of the god kings asked, "Do we have to break his alliance? His alliance is 6 god kings, and we are 6, so we match his alliance. We can just pressure him like this. We don't need to pay that much to break his alliance. Especially since it will strengthen him."
Crystal Hoard replied, "You are wrong. We have to break his alliance in order to shorten the time it will take for him to break under pressure. Imagine what six god kings of our power can do to only him. He will crack easily."
"Besides, the divinity might be a lot, but what can he do with it apart from upgrading his weapon? What use will that weapon be if we pressure him from the mortal realm? At the most, he will kill our avatars. But I am willing to bet that we will be able to wipe out his religion in a few weeks if we work together. He won't have the one year required to create an alliance."
"Even if we fail to wipe out his religion, the broken alliance gives us an opportunity to replace his previous allies. We might even be able to use him to force out the information of his previous allies and retrieve what we give them."
She spent so much effort to convince them. Eventually she forced them to make a decision. "Let us make this decision quickly. It is best that we get the weapon before the ancient titans awaken. That way out chances of getting titan crystals will be higher."
The more the god kings heard, the more they were tempted. The most tempted was the god king that chased after Legion for their special weapon and divinity.
