GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1797: Impact Of Gods.

The Apocalypse Pantheon ballooned due to the recruitment of the two true gods. The 9 Crowns have 3 true gods to boost their title now. This has give them 3% boost. It will only increase when more godlings around them evolve.

They can't wait for that, though. So they went to territories beyond their immediate surroundings to recruit more true gods.

Other gods might be content with what they have achieved for now. After all, they have eliminated the major enemies around them and have crowned themselves as the Supreme god in the surrounding area.

They don't even need to preach and actively spread their religion anymore to gain believers. Their surbodinate gods will do that for them every time they preach.

Not only that, the peace that will ensue because of the stability will make the orcs prosper, which will increase their population and lead to an increase in their Authority over time. Without the conflict and competition between gods and tribes, the orcs won't have to compete and kill each other anymore. They will be on the fast track to creating their civilization. They will then attack, and break through the fortress in their way and attack the human civilization.

So they have a lot to look forward to. But Legion was not satisfied with the way things were going. Not after they found out that Crystal Hoard's Authority is 26 thousand.

They are dead set on growing stronger quickly. So they didn't rest on their laurels. They forced more and more true gods to bow their heads.

They met with success and failure. Their success is because some true gods gave up on resisting immediately. Legion had caught them off guard. They couldn't resist or they would lose their Oracles.

But their failures were much more than their success. Many true gods resisted. They would rather lose an Oracle than submit. The fact that their territory is also far away from the 9 Crowns' also made the struggle expensive for Legion.

All in all, it was not going to be an easy fight. But Legion didn't give up. In the meantime, they set their eyes on divinity. They sent Legion-1 and Legion-2 out to hunt after they had harvested the easy true gods.

Legion finally left their hiding place in over a year. Gemmis appeared to be the same to them except that there were more gods wandering about. Most of them were using the services offered by the city like the auction and the forging. The gods that are using the auction service are doing so because they don't have altars.

As for those who use the forging service, it could be because they don't have altars or because they do, but they want Gemmis to build the weapon for them. It will be highly costly, but they will be able to get a good weapon straightaway without laboring themselves.

The sight of so many godlings made them understand a fraction of the changes the mortal realm has undergone ever since the gods arrived. The main influence they can glean from this many gods is due to the fact that the mortal realm had to provide resources for every god seed that has become a godlings.

The resources they need in the mortal realm are 100 souls and 100 gold coins. Souls are more valuable than divinity and can only be acquired through the death of mortals. If every god needs 100 souls, that means the 1 million gods that managed to build their altar in the northern realm caused the death of at least 100 million mortals. It is probably more.

100 million gold coins is less valuable than 100 million mortal souls but it is still a considerable amount of the wealth of mortals that the gods have taken. They are even sure that the mortals lost more because of the loses caused by war.

The competition among the gods in the race to become godlings led to the reduction of the number of god seeds from 100 million to 4 million. That competition was steep but not many consider its effect on mortals.

If all of the 96 million that were eliminated had just one mortal soul and one gold coin with them. It means that 96 million of those things were lost in the competition.

But if half of those god seeds had 50 gold coins and mortal souls, then 2.4 billion worth of lives and wealth were lost. So it is likely that the competition led to more lose than what the godlings they are seeing perpetuated.

It is a significant lose that they can envision because they alone are responsible for the failure of at least 100 god seeds from becoming godlings. Then there is the lose of lives from the war that their army caused.

This realization made them wonder about the state of the mortal realm currently. But they didn't feel guilty. At best they felt pity for the mortals and an understanding of their situation.

Their understanding also makes them realize that the worst is over for the mortals. They believe this because of the pantheon system.

At this point, the existence of Pantheons has begun to bring a certain order to the gods. They have found a means to ally themselves. It has given them another option other than antagonizing each other.

Plus, God kings want more true gods so that their Pantheons can become full. This has made it so that the rate of godlings becoming true gods has increased. That means less fighting among mortals too.

This is good for the mortals and for them too. The clones were excited by the sight of so many gods because it meant that they would have a lot of targets to hunt.

Their happiness was not reduced when they heard someone at the city gate shouting about a bounty for the 9 Crowns. In fact, it made them happier. They can imagine Crystal Howard's face and it made them happy.
