GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1833: Monopolize Or Rush Forward.

Golden Light was just too powerful, and it required just a glancing blow to damage the target with the full might of the Authority using it. So it is normal for his to have the highest speed at killing. The second highest couldn't come close to him at all.

Legion-2 was the second fastest at killing the skeletons. He had 7,000 divinity in Strength and could deal ((7,000 x 2) +1,000) with Myriad Armament for a total of 15,000 in a single attack.

He could attack as fast as 6 times in a second so even though he could kill any skeleton in a single blow too, he couldn't do it as fast as Legion-3 and he needed to crush the target with his club to truly put them down. So he could only managed 6 kills per second.

Despite the large gap between 40 and 6, the enemies are just too weak for Legion-3 to truly shine. Something like a tier 1 level 100 divine beast with 1,000,000 hit points will truly show case Legion-3's power with golden light. He would be able to kill one with a single hit while Legion-2 will be struggling with it.

Be that as it may, the Skeletal Revenants were endless. They didn't get tired just like gods and most importantly, they could always resurrect after they were killed. It took 10 seconds for them to go from dead back to undead.

Their Undead divine ability made it so that they would keep fighting forever. So the clones had to destroy them and move forward through the breaks in the wall they created.

This was not a fight they could win because even though they too don't get tired, their Divine endurance spell is consuming divine energy. It will take a long time before they run out or they might not run out at all as long as their believers continue to provide faith for them. But that doesn't change the fact that they cannot win this fight. The best they can manage is a draw. They can only continue moving forward.

The tunnel was very long and the enemies were many so it took a long while to transverse it. That didn't discourage them, though. After all, they couldn't get tired. The only thing being expended is the divine energy they use to maintain their divine endurance spell. That is little compared to the prayers of the faithful flooding their altar.

Besides, it is not as if they could give up on a domain easily and leave. They were ready not to take a step back until they heard something drop heavily behind them. This caused them to stop and look back

The thing that dropped was a god. It was shining with a light that dispelled the darkness like them. Apparently, he had followed them into the pit.

This god was swarmed and torn to pieces by the skeletons. Soon, it was as if it was never there. But the appearance of the god reminded them that they were not the only ones with access to the domain quest or access to the hole for that matter.

This gave them pause. They thought about staying behind to kill any god that might be able to overcome the skeletons. They wanted to do so to monopolize the trial and give no other god a chance.

But Legion-2 asked them, "What if someone has already gone ahead? It is unlikely that someone got here before us but there were gods outside of Gemmis when we received the domain. What if a god was close by and has entered the trial before us?"

Legion-3 replied, "That would mean we would be here wasting our time keeping competitors at bay while someone else steals the prize."

They couldn't have that, so they decided to continue going forward at their fastest speed possible. They couldn't use divine speed as they had to maintain divine endurance. But they were still fast as they lined up behind Legion-3, who paved the way for them with golden light.

Many gods dropped behind them after they left. Most of them died, but some of them who had devoted a bulk of their divinity to Endurance or who had a lot of Authority managed to survive the ordeal. freewebnøvel.com

A whole Pantheon even dropped into the tunnel too. Apparently, the gods didn't need domain quests to access the trial. As long as they can find its location and complete the trial, then they can get the domain too.

A domain quest only helps to find the trial. This news made the gods surge into the six rapidly closing holes in the ground in pursuit of the domain. This was happening at the same time that the auction for the remaining 44 Titan crystals was being held.

Many of the gods chose not to participate in the trial because they prioritized the slim chance of acquiring a domain over the slim chance of acquiring the titan crystals. Others chose not to participate in the auction because they were not rich. They knew they didn't have the money to compete for the titan crystals, so they didn't go. They would rather hunt for domains.

The number of gods who had enough wealth to compete in the auction was very small. They were probably around 1,000 of the 100,000 gods, or just 1%. But these 1% also wanted to acquire domains too. So they gave their money to others to bid for them.

Only Legion and a scant few could participate in the auction and hunt for domains at the same time. Legion could do this because they had three clones to spare. Many others could do this because they had a twin to spare.

Legion-7 participated in the auction on their behalf. He was able to get 1 more titan crystal, but it cost 1,000,000 divinity. It was that expensive. The god kings were using the wealth of their pantheons to bully other and fight for the titan crystals.
