GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1808: An Unsung Hero.

The ice wolves managed to get deep into the formation enough to reach Legion-3 and the poor gods he was bullying. He was fast, so he was able to avoid them. Those that he couldn't avoid, he blinded with a quick attack to the eye.

He did all of these with an unnatural ease. His movements were too smooth, and it appeared as if he had eyes at the back of his head.

Legion-3 was like a fish in water. He moved in and out of the chaos like a dancer. No one could touch him on the battlefield. His speed is why many are tempted to dump most of their divinity in speed, but that eventually turns into a bad idea because they would become useless.

Only one god had been able to pull off having the majority of their stats in speed. Now he has done the same as that god. It made the gods of this pantheon begin to understand that maybe, just maybe, the golden spear in his hand is not fake.

It was too easy for him to kill the gods while escaping the claws of the ice wolves, but he didn't do that. He only made himself content with taking the divine orbs of slain gods and any other good stuff they dropped.

He did this so that the ice wolves wouldn't get them. So he was a hero. He was undoubtedly a hero since he didn't let golden light use the deaths of the gods to destroy their divine altar.

The main reason for that decision is that doing so will escalate matters. Currently, what he is doing is nothing personal. It is just a little foraging got divine orbs. But the gods will hate him if he destroys their altar. They already have many enemies around their base and Crystal Hoard, so they don't want to add more enemies.

The second reason is that gaining the hatred of the pantheon is not worth it since there is nothing to gain. He won't gain anything by destroying the altar since he doesn't know their religion or where they are located in the mortal realm to take advantage of their lack of a divine altar.

He won't be able to find their Oracle and Legion won't be able to annex their believers, so the only thing he will gain by destroying their altar is the hatred of the pantheon and the exposure of the fact that he has a powerful weapon that might be able to lead to the permanent death of gods.

The Pantheon will let him go for killing them here in the divine realm. But they will surely not let go of him for the hatred of destroying their altar and for the greed of possessing such a powerful weapon. Meanwhile, someone else closer to the gods of the pantheon will be reaping the benefit of his work. So he didn't throw the spear or let it fly after the dead gods. He didn't even try to kill the gods. He only killed the gods that stood in his way. He relied mainly on the support of the other clones to kill the gods while he made sure that their divine orbs wouldn't go to the ice wolves. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last forever. The god king of the pantheon managed to kill the five gods they were trying to rob originally. Then he turned to deal with Legion-3. Legion-3 himself didn't see this. He was busy bending down to pick up divine orbs. It was the other clones who saw this. So by the time the god king took a few steps toward him, he had already hightailed it out of there.

But the clones didn't leave immediately. Instead, they hung around the pantheon, waiting for more misfortune to befall them. After all, if they were palatable targets to attack before, they are prime targets to take advantage of now.

They were opportunistic predators before, but now they have decided to be carrion feeders. It was easier and promised a lot of loot for very little work. So they circled the pantheon like vultures.

Unfortunately, they didn't get their way. The Pantheon also realized that they had weakened too much. Of the 50 of them that went out of the city to hunt, only 20 of them remain. So they decided to return to the city.

Legion-1 thought about attacking, but the god king of the pantheon made them wary. His Authority of 15,000 couldn't be disregarded so they gave up on attacking the Pantheon.

They also didn't stay around to continue attacking others. They felt it was better to return with their harvest first before they attempted getting more. So they returned to Gemmis.

They returned to hunt after that, but things were getting more and more difficult for them. It is because the elemental zones became the hunting grounds of pantheons, not gods. These pantheons also got too big for comfort.

Individual gods or even small groups struggled to survive in the Elemental Zones due to the ice wolves alone. Then the pantheons began to make things difficult for them. Rather than gain divine crystals from hunting ice wolves, these lone gods became the source of divinity for Pantheons.

In order to survive and thrive, the lone gods decided to form their own pantheon or join existing ones. This made Pantheons stronger and more popular.

It also reduced the number of lone gods hunting. So the clones met less and less gods that they could hunt reliably. They had to skulk and hide to avoid the Pantheons. The only time they made a move was to take advantage of the situation.

This opportunity appeared a lot of times because the only enemies around with divinity to be gained by killing were the gods of other Pantheons. There were no lone gods to bully anymore, so if the pantheons wanted divinity, they had to hunt each other. This increased the frequency of large-scale fights amongst gods.
