GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1821: Desperation Leads To Explosion.



The clones sighed because they were not the only ones who think the angel is unreliable. But they understood that they couldn't sit still after hearing about the birth of a domain god. It is because not only had they missed out on the reward of being the first domain god, they have also gained someone who can suppress them.

Their angel encouraged them. "Things aren't so bad. With the hero training system activated, you will be able to get heroes soon. You will finally be able to get your reward for being one of the first 100 godlings in the Northern Domain. That ought to put a smile on your face, right?"

It didn't put a smile on their face at all. They simply grunted as they began making plans to go out to create their own divine calamities.

They hadn't wanted to do so in the past because they were saving their divinity for their weapons and for the future. After all, many people had tried and failed to use divinity to create divine calamities.

There's also the fact they can never recover the divinity they use, even if they kill the divine calamity themselves. That is even if they kill the divine calamity themselves. It is unlikely that they will be able to do that.

So they thought it was prudent to pursue something definite, like upgrading their divine weapons instead of gambling. But now they are getting desperate.

They haven't gotten desperate enough to squander their divinity in creating divine calamities yet. But they are willing to sacrifice every god they encounter to divine beasts to create the divine calamities, and they are also ready to go all out hunting the divine calamities instead of hunting the gods hunting the divine calamities.

The six of them left Gemmis immediately. It has been nine years since their divine contract with Crystal Hoard was created. They stayed away from each other for a year, but now they can work together again.

They were not the only ones leaving Gemmis in a rush. Many true gods left Gemmis for the first time in 5 years because of the information they just acquired from their angels.

Their desperation for the Authority of the void universe was enough for them to overcome their fear of the Orc Bandits.

Almost every one of these true gods also had the same idea and was desperate enough to try it. This caused violence to explode without suspense.

The gods wanted to sacrifice other gods, which meant they had to fight. But no one could control how far they were going to fight or when to stop. So it was normal when things went too far. Soon every god and Pantheon were just fighting each other instead of trying to create divine calamities.

The divine realm had become very dangerous, but the clones were able to survive in the chaos of fighting. This is because their nine years of hard work hadn't gone to waste.

They are currently the first god on the Authority ranking. This is because they have the highest Authority among all the gods in the Northern Domain.

They have completely assimilated the population of orcs in their large territory and some in the territory of their subordinate gods. This number stood at 214,272. This is an astounding number that even Crystal Hoard was not able to achieve.

But that number was in the past. The orcs have reproduced in 9 years and expanded their population by more than three times to make 673,891.

They have also filled up their Pantheon with gods, which increased that amount by 99% to make for an Authority of 1,341,043. In comparison, the average Authority of the 1,000,000 gods in the Northern Domain is 50,000. Only other god kings have more than 100,000 or Authority in the hundreds of thousands.

They were able to achieve this due to the combination of their advantage of being the first true God and that of the reward for being the first godling.

As the first true God, they were able to carve out a large territory for themselves early on. They would have eventually become a force to be reckoned with over time. But Golden Light expedited that process.

With golden light, they were able to win every conflict in the mortal realm and gain an absolute advantage. They became notorious among both gods and mortals. This caused faith in them to rise exponentially.

The most important thing that the combination of these two advantages caused was the lack of prolonged competition and wars to slow down their growth. Any conflict between them and other gods was quickly rectified, so their believers enjoyed peace in their large territory. At some point, gods simply capitulated to them after knowing their identity. This prevented war, which would have prevented them from acquiring half of their current Authority. This is because war leads to losses on both sides.

Their first war with Tempest led to the deaths of believers, priests, and Oracles and both sides. Legion had lost priests and had to hide them away with his Oracle so that they won't be picked off. These cautious procedures would have slowed down the spread of his religion as priests won't be able to spread his faith.

The losses would have become disastrous for both sides if the war had dragged on. So eventually, the side that wins in a war will get less than half of what is available in total.

Wars have a short-term benefit of increasing faith, but they have the long-term disadvantage of making life difficult for believers. Mortals wouldn't have peace and wouldn't be able to prosper. They would kill each other, lack food and other resources to reproduce. So their population wouldn't have soared by that amount in 9 years.

With 1,341,043 in Authority, each one of them has more vitality than a true god divine beast at

level 100. In fact, each clone holds more divine energy than their altar.

When the divine energy of all nine of them is combined, then it makes it so that a whole pantheon will besiege a single one of them and still fail to kill the clone.
