GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1931: Benefits and Motives.



One levelheaded hero said, "I'm sure we will gain a lot if we capture you and hand you over to our gods. I'm sure 9 Crowns will pay a lot to ransom you. That's why I want to capture you."

Her motive was reasonable, but she was the outlier here.

Another hero shouted in anger, "Forget about benefits. You are Nazis and must be vanquished."

He roared in frustration, "Even if you're right and I am a Nazi, you have forgotten that this is all a game. The Heavenly Corporation is the true enemy here. They are making us fight each other with our lives at stake."

But they didn't listen to him. It didn't help that Black Knife chose that moment to weigh in.

The cloaked assassin said, "Who are we killing next?"

He said, "Now is not a good time."

Black Knife nodded and said, "I love killing people."

This further incensed their pursuers. They became more determined to catch them and torture them for all of eternity for their crimes.

Taylor glared at Sharon. She was the one who used Black Knife as bait and struck everyone around him with her lightning spell.

She hadn't cared about his safety at all. Which was fine. But he didn't die. Instead, his hearing became impaired. Now he can't hear properly and is escalating the situation with his comments.

This is a problem they can fix by killing him. Dying will be painful, but he will resurrect refreshed and healed. Unfortunately, they can't do that while being pursued. They have to run or they will be captured. If they are captured, things will become so bad that they will wish for death.

In the meantime, Legion finally decided to access the other divine realms. It was mostly to complete their quest and pave the way to become heavenly gods. But they also had it on the agenda to hunt for divinity and domains.

The Northern Divine Realm has become boring now that everyone is hiding away. They need fresh forests to hunt in. They need plump and pretty gods to traumatize until these gods lose weight.

Normally, they would need the agreement of every controller of the Tower of Realms to gain access to other realms. But since they were the sole controller of all five towers, they didn't need anyone's permission.

The entire process of gaining access to the other realms was easy for them to do. A portal opened up in all of the towers, granting access to the other divine realms. Its destination in those divine realms was random, but that wasn't a problem for them since they didn't have anywhere they wanted to go specifically.

They first went to the eastern domain in search of goddess Oceania. It didn't take them much effort to find traces of her. Apparently she was very popular in the eastern domain as one of the few gods from the previous era still alive.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

She wasn't completely alive, as only part of her divine will was still alive. Any god could kill her, but they would have to break through the protections of her divine kingdom to do so.

Many gods have tried to do so, but they all failed because of the army of angels at the national god level protecting her.

One of their clones tried to break through the protection of the divine kingdom and failed. He died but brought back valuable information for them.

Legion-9 said, "It seems Kutneri was right to be concerned. Oceania is not completely dead."

Legion-8 nodded and said, "She is near death, but we will need to be national gods at least to finish the process."

Legion-7 said, "I guess we will have to postpone his revenge."

The difficulty of the quest made them put it on hold for a while. They spent time doing other things that will make them stronger.

Actually, they were doing only one thing. But this didn't sit right with the gods of this realm. They were a divided bunch that fought each other at every turn. But an outsider stealing their divinity didn't sit right with them.

Besides, this was no ordinary outsider. They had heard a lot about 9 Crowns from their friends and contacts in the Northern Divine Realm.

So they knew what he was capable of. This made all the gods in the whole divine realm band together immediately. They banded together in their decision to hide in their divine cities. They had learned a lot from the failures of the gods in the Northern Divine Realm. This saved them a lot of time and resources that would have been wasted in a direct confrontation with the Orc Bandits. They decided to save themselves from pain and anguish by hiding away. This might have been different if they could access the Northern Mortal Realm and invade it with their armies. The recent war would have involved every god in God's Domain, not just the ones in the Northern Divine Realm.

But they couldn't threaten the source of his faith. They couldn't even access the Northern Divine Realm to fight him. He, on the other hand, could come and go as he pleased.

So even though these gods were much stronger than the gods of the Northern Divine Realm, they directly gave up without fighting. They hid in their divine cities and would only come out when 9 Crowns left.

Legion was not happy with their cowardice. They could only hunt a little and retreat. Then they visited other realms to do the same.

Hunting was slow, but thanks to crop rotation, they could earn something. They did this by rotating which realm to hunt in. They would use the element of surprise to earn a little before they withdrew.

It was one of the benefits of being in control of the tower of realms. The gods of the northern realm were sick of them. They wouldn't come out of divine cities to hunt no matter what. But the gods of the other realms were still fresh enough to be bullied for a couple of rounds.
