GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1924: A Quickie.



The god king didn't listen to him. He continued to run, which offended Legion-1.

He asked, "Why are you still running? Don't you believe me? Does my word count for nothing to you?

He asked that while rushing towards the god King.

The god king was already afraid when he sighted the 9 Crowns. Now that Legion-1 had come close enough to kill him, he knew there was no way out for himself. He cursed himself for being greedy.

His main mission had been to come and hinder Legion-1. That's what Smite and the other Domain gods paid him and many other weak true gods for.

That's what he came to do, but he got lucky and entered the battlefield close to the core. The temptation was too great, so he succumbed to it. Now he is paying the price for falling for the temptation.

The fight was uneventful. Legion-1 took out Myriad Armament and turned it into a whip. Then he whipped all of them in a wide horizontal arc.

The whip swept through them and sheared them as if they were grass. They were so outclassed that he didn't use any divine spell on them.

In fact, he didn't need to use Myriad Armament to fight them. All he needed was his fist. He could have pummeled them one by one, but he used a whip so he could get rid of them all at once.

He also didn't need to use world power to kill all 52 of them. Just shifting all of his divinity to Strength was enough to do the trick. But he had promised to make this quick, so he had to keep his word.

Besides, using world power and going all out ensured that he was able to kill them quickly before anyone else could interfere. The interference of other gods is an ever-present threat for him.

There are a lot of people who would interfere with him gaining more power if they could. Unfortunately, they came too late to the party. He had already fused with the core by the time the closest gods arrived.

Smite and the other god kings arrived with their pantheons. Smite saw that he was in control of the core of the tower and growled, "Of course, he got it first. He is too fast after devouring all of us these past few years."

Another god king said, "The flesh and bones of nearly a million gods have been picked clean by him. But his reign of tyranny ends today if I have anything to say about it."

The first god that gained control of the core was weak but very lucky. They too were lucky in that they entered the battlefield close to the core. But 9 Crowns was just too powerful.

At some point, raw strength will crush luck. In fact, strength can turn a lucky situation into an unlucky one..It was what happened to the first god who gained control of the core and what happened to them.

Legion-1 was at the very edge of the battlefield, but he managed to rush over and crush the lucky god despite them being closer. The same thing would have happened regardless of who was the first god to gain control of the core of the tower.

9 Crowns was just too strong. It angered them to think about his strength and how he gained that power. But they didn't attack him right away.

Instead, Smite approached him and said, "9 Crowns. I guess you are not going to let go of the core even if I ask."

Then he paused and listened to an invisible person speak to him. Next he said, "I was wrong. You can't even give me the core if you're willing, so I won't ask anymore. But this doesn't change anything. We expected this to happen due to your superior speed. In fact, we were counting on it."

He continued to smile together with the other god kings. Legion-1 didn't attack them because there was nothing to gain other than divinity. They don't have extra domains because he has killed them before and taken their extra domains.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even if they have extra domains, he won't be able to use it now because he will need an altar to fuse with it. Unfortunately, he can't leave yet to get an altar. The only way to leave is through victory or death.

That means he also won't be able to take their divine orbs out. But if he kills them now, they will return again to the battlefield if they can resurrect quickly and as long as it is open.

So the best time to kill them is when the battlefield closes. That way, no one will be able to enter the battlefield again, and his kills will actually reduce the amount of enemies around him.

They seemed to know that too, so they were not afraid of him killing them. They didn't try attacking him either.

But that isn't the only reason they didn't attack him yet. They were waiting for their other allies so that they could pile on 9 Crowns all at once.

They are also bringing out some tools from their inventory. They moved away from his position and began building something with the tools they took out of their inventory. Legion-1 watched them work while waiting for his pantheon to arrive. The other clones were also about to enter the battlefield, but he wanted to find out what the god kings were planning first so that the other clones could prepare for it before they entered.

This standoff continued until the 24 hours that the barrier will remain open was over. The barrier closed. Then Smite and the other god kings joined together the different parts of what they had built.

The things they built were three pillars. They were placed at the very edge of the battlefield and arranged to form a triangle with Legion-1 at the center.

A/N: What do you think they are planning?
