GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1831: Aftermath.



Many gods were relieved, but they were also solemn about the situation. It is because they have realized just how difficult it is to kill the ancient titans.

Gemmis had made it look easy, but they understood that it was anything but easy. The whole process had cost a lot of divine energy. The gods had provided an average of 10 billion divine energy to kill the six ancient titans. That is just to kill six weakened ancient titans.

The ancient titans will come back stronger than before. The gods can continue to donate divinity to strengthen Gemmis, but if one day they run out of divine energy to provide her in the thick of battle, they will be doomed.

The ancient titans, on the other hand, don't run out of energy and can even regenerate damage to themselves. So as long as there is a gap in Gemmis's assault or if the ancient titans became fast enough to dodge her attacks or if they even decide to retreat out of her attack range, all the divine energy she used to create the attacks might go to waste and the gods would be doomed.

So the gods couldn't always rely on their divine cities. It didn't work for the previous generations of gods, so it is bound to fail them too. The gods have to be powerful enough to at least besiege the ancient titans on their own, even if they can't cut off their resurrection.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But that is going to be a tall order because not only would they need to overcome the endurance of the ancient titans, they must overcome their regeneration too if they are to kill them. They must do all of these while managing their own limited and depleting divine energy.

The gods were worried about the next time the ancient titans would rise, but that couldn't stop the surge of undercurrent that ensued.

This surge started with notifications to every god after the successful defense of their divine cities. Legion received two notification after the successful defense of Gemmis.

-You Contributed 0.13% Divine Energy In The Defense Of Gemmis

-You Are Ranked First For Your Contribution

-You Earned 4 Titan Crystals and 13,000,000 Divine Crystals.

-You Can Participate In The Upcoming Auction To Acquire The Remaining 44 Titan Crystals.

The clones were satisfied with their placement and reward. They had provided about 13,000,000 divine energy and had received 4 titan crystals and 13,000,000 million divine crystals for it.

The divine crystals alone make the endeavor worth it. After all, they had received one divine crystal for each unit of divine energy they had provided. The addition of the titan crystals thus makes the exchange something they can only look for but cannot find.

They had already been told how the Titan Crystals would be distributed. The first on the contribution list would take 4, no matter how much they contribute. The second would get 3, the third would get 2, and the fourth to tenth would get 1 each.

The ancient titans dropped 10 titan crystals each for a total of 60. After the distribution of 16 to the first ten, it would leave 44 that all of the gods can bid for with their resources.

The proceeds of the bid would be distributed amongst the remaining god kings based on the participation of their Pantheon. So every god would get something. That is as long as their god king is willing to hand it over, but that doesn't concern Gemmis.

As this occasion is a rare occasion that can only be acquired when ancient titans almost wipe out the gods but are stopped, the auction of the titan crystals is something that all the gods must take seriously.

The gods were getting ready to participate in the auction when another notification disturbed their peace.

-(Quest Received)

(Domain Quest: Find The Earthen Forge Domain)

(First Step: Go To The Location Of Goldwyn's Demise)

(Reward: A Domain)

(Description: Goldwyn has killed many gods in the past. He has also absorbed many domains. One of those domains broke free when he died. You were instrumental in Goldwyn's death, so you have the opportunity to acquire this domain.)

"What intarnation?" Was what the clones thought before 6 of them dashed out of their hotel and into Gemmis.

They didn't even spend time to analyze the notification between themselves. Their first reaction was to go immediately to grab the domain.

They were right to be in a hurry because they found that many other gods were rushing out of Gemmis and towards where the six ancient titans had died too. Apparently, many other gods, tens of thousands, had gotten domain quests too.

Legion-5 said to their angel as they sped along, "I am guessing you didn't know that ancient titans would drop domain quests."

It replied giddily, "No, I didn't. But now that I know, I know that you received the quest only because you fought with Goldwyn and participated in the mechanism that killed him. If any of these conditions had been missing, you wouldn't have received the domain quest."

Legion-3 said, "That's good to know for the future. But what we want to know now is what to expect from this quest and how to beat it."

It replied, "All I can say is that this quest will be ordinary. It will be a normal domain quest. As for the particulars, I won't know until we enter the trial."

The clones were taken aback. Legion-2 asked, "Trial? There's going to be a trial?"

The angel nodded and said, "Yes. Domains are not easy to acquire. They will resist you. You will have to overcome their resistance and subjugate them."

Legion-1 asked, "What does this trial entail?"

It shook its small head and replied, "I can't know until we encounter it."

Legion-4 asked in exasperation, "What use will you be then?"

It shook its small head again and said, "I can't know until we encounter it."
