GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1775: Liberation Of The Mortals.

The few seconds they spent possessing her already took a few months away from her lifespan, so it is a good idea to choose an oracle that can last a long while.

They want a child that has been raised with their doctrine and is in perfect synchronization with them to be their next Oracle. This way the burden won't be so much and the new Oracle will last longer.

It will take a while to create such a child. In the meantime, they plan to take over every tribe around them. The first thing they have to do is gather information about the gods in their surroundings. The second most important thing is to eliminate those gods if they can.

That's why he went to the tribe nearby with two god seeds who haven't ascended yet. He discovered that one of the god seeds had been eliminated in the struggle. He had died, and since he hadn't ascended yet, he couldn't resurrect.

"Fighting before ascending is truly inefficient. But I guess they didn't have much of a choice."

He felt pity for the two god seeds, but that didn't stop him from killing the remaining one and her Oracle. Then he sent a message to Warshaw to come and assimilate the tribe too.

Next, he went beyond the three tribes close by. The first tribe he encountered was occupied by a god seed who hadn't ascended yet. However, he couldn't see the god seed around.

He was intrigued, so he looked around and overheard a lot of discussions to put together a preliminary image of this god. He was able to understand why the god has failed to ascend despite having the whole tribe to herself.

It turned out that the god seed had killed the loved one of someone in power. That person was willing to die, so they antagonized the Oracle and her god.

The god didn't smite the blasphemer for various reasons. Legion would like to believe that it is because they were out of divine energy. It is highly likely that killing the first mortal had drained them of their divine energy.

Whatever the reason was, the inaction of the god put them on the back foot. People lost faith in the god, which made it difficult to acquire prayers needed for divine energy. Things became worse when this angry councilman went after the life of the Oracle. The Oracle had to run away, which made it rather difficult for the god to establish their religion and ascend.

Legion-1 muttered to himself, "So the god hasn't ascended, not because they didn't want to. They can't ascend even if they want to. They are stuck in the mortal realm battling mortals." Legion-2 mocked, "And here we thought the god would be difficult to deal with since they would have amassed a lot of Authority. It turned out that they are not in the tribe because their Oracle would be killed if he so much as stepped a foot in."

Legion-4 said cautiously, "It is good that the god is weak. But taking over this tribe will be more difficult now that they have resisted a god and won. It is not a job for Warshaw alone."

Legion-1 agreed but didn't think it was much of a problem. He said, "It will only be more difficult. We just have to show them that there is a difference between a local deity and a true god. One can be blasphemed while the other cannot."

They didn't find the god in this tribe, so they made do with sending the information to Warshaw so that she would be able to take down the tribe very well. Then they moved on to other tribes.

They killed every Oracle and god they found around the tribes. They didn't discuss with them or ask them to surrender. Only the surrender of a true god is useful to them. God seeds and unascended dieties can't join their pantheon, so they would rather kill them than allow them to grow to the stage where they can refuse to join their pantheon.

Besides, they don't have a Pantheon yet. So they won't even be able to accept a true god that wants to submit to them. He simply killed them and continued looking for more god seeds or Oracles to kill.

He moved around in a progressively larger circle around the Bull Horn's tribe. This way, he didn't miss any tribe. Eventually, dispelled the avatar divine spell after an hour of work.

By that time, the single avatar had cost them 4,160 DE for the time they spent using the spell. 100 DE for the cost of its initial activation, 1 DE for each of the 3,600 seconds they used it, and 460 DE for the 46 divine strikes they used to kill Oracles and god seeds.

It is their largest expense of divine energy, but they believe it is worth it. They were able to liberate 27 tribes from the control of false gods with this sacrifice of divine energy. It will take time for them to reap the benefits of their good deed, but it will come, and it should be quite substantial.

The nine of them sat around their altar watching the affairs of the mortal world. The map of the area around their tribe and everywhere they had explored was projected by the altar into the surroundings so that they could see it.

It is not a real-time map, but it shows the area they have subjugated, the tribes under their control, and the other hostile territories. The actions of Legion-1's avatar in the mortal realm caused the map to expand and for missing details to be updated. That ended when he dispelled the avatar.

He commented idly, "This avatar spell is not so bad."

Legion-2 agreed, "It is not bad as long as we have divine energy."

Legion-9 said with jest, "If we don't have divine energy, then we are dead. An avatar will be the last of our concerns."
