GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1760: Worthy Loot.

Their cooperation was flawless and silent. They didn't speak to each other at all. Their enemies, on the other hand, were shouting orders to each other so as to coordinate. Legion could also hear these orders, so they were able to prepare for the coordinated attacks of their enemies.

The bandits had decided to use their divine spells to attack, but it was too late and nearly useless. They were already frozen when they decided to create Divine Strikes of their own. By then it was too late to turn back the tides. Only 3 remained after 5 seconds.

These three continued slinging Divine Strikes, but they were also retreating at the highest speed. They had decided not to wait for the ice wolves to pressure the clones. The sight of Legion-3 turning his finger towards another enemy and that finger lighting up in the white glow of a divine strike was all the motivation they needed to interrupt him with a Divine Strike of their own while running for their lives.

Unfortunately, they were only able to stop the first three clones from casting spells against them. They couldn't prevent the other 6 from taking them off guard with a Divine Hold. Legion didn't let them go because they wanted to run. They managed to kill the remaining god seeds as they ran. With the god seeds gone, only the ice wolves remained.

Unlike the god seeds, the ice wolves didn't fall back because of the impressive display of divine spells. They were willing to fight to the death and wanted to surround them completely.

However, what they have in ferocity, they lacked the power to go through with it. Legion still made quick work of them. Then they collected their loot and examined it.

-Divine Orb

-LEVEL: 3

-DIVINITY: 33

This was the loot that the leaders of the bandits dropped. It made Legion-4 whistle appreciatively.

"Impressive divinity," he said. "And this is just half."

Legion-1 asked the angel, "How can they have so much divinity but so little Authority? Is there a way to get divinity that we don't know about?"

The angel shimmered into existence and replied, "There is no way to get divinity except from what you have just done. God seeds have to kill other god seeds for their divinity. As for the low Authority, I am guessing these god seeds are poor at converting mortals or they haven't spent much time converting mortals or both."

Legion-1 shook his head and said, "Either way, this is still impressive. It shows that we are lagging behind."

Legion-2 refuted. "We are lagging behind in divinity, but not Authority. It means we are doing something right."

He is not wrong to say that. They had to combine all the free divinity they got to give Legion-1 his impressive stats, but these god seeds on the other hand came early to the divine plane and took the divinity of other god seeds to strengthen themselves far beyond the average level of power.

Level 6 is quite impressive since most god seeds are level 1 or 2. Whatever level they are is dependent on if they forwent their divine spells, so it is usually 10% of their Authority. But these god seeds have more divinity than their Authority can grant them.

Unfortunately it came at a cost. They rushed the creation of their religion and didn't have time to convert a lot of believers before ascending to the divine plane. They spent an average of two days in the mortal realm while Legion spent 4 days.

They came early to the divine plane so were able to bully others with their numbers and gain divinity, but their Authority was lacking. Their advantage in divinity was supposed to snowball since they will meet less and less gods who could hurt them. Unfortunately, they met with Legion who managed to convert their whole tribe before ascending.

Legion-6 said as he went about collecting the other divine orbs, "We lost so much divine energy from this fight. I hope the rewards will be worth the 540 units of divine energy that we spent."

Legion-1 looked at the orb in his hand and said, "I'm sure it was worth it. At the very least, we have learned more about the pros and cons of Divine Spells."

Eventually they tallied all they gained and it amounted to 258 divinity from the god seeds, armor and weapons from.those god seeds, and divine crystals from the divine beasts. The amount of divinity was not as much as Legion-1's stat, but it was still a lot.

They decided to return to Gemmis to replenish their Divine Energy and take care of their loot. The most important loot they gained are the 10 divine orbs that their slain enemies dropped. These orbs couldn't be kept in their inventory so they had to carry them around.

This undoubtedly drew the attention of others and caused them to be attacked on their way to the divine city.

The fact they have 10 divine orbs is enough to tell that they just killed 10 god seeds. Anyone in their right minds should know that they are dangerous and steer clear of them. But the fact they killed god seeds means that they have used or lost Divine Energy in the fight.

The fact that they are retreating to Gemmis also means that they have probably used a lot of Divine Energy and are going to replenish it.

All of these made them too tempting to be overlooked. After all, without Divine Energy, a god seed, no matter how powerful, is an arrow at the end of its flight. Any moment, and it will hit the ground. If something blocks its way now, then it will stop earlier and easily. That's what their enemies thought.

Legion realized that it was foolish to carry around the divine orbs. They decided that it would be better to absorb the divine orbs. But then they managed to kill two more god seeds and gain two more divine orbs. That changed their minds about the foolishness of dangling bait in front of others.
