GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1905: Crippled Divine Beast.



Her fixation on the meteor drew Taylor's attention because not many things interest her. So he asked her, "What has got your attention?"

She replied while still looking into the distance, "It contains the largest amount of power I have ever encountered. Only the avatar of the 9 Crowns can match it. Not even Ragnar is that strong."

Taylor asked in surprise, "What? The meteor? Is it some kind of divine object?"

Black Knife had also become interested. He asked, "Is it valuable?"

If something is valuable, can make him stronger, or is fun to do, then he will be interested. Food is the fourth thing that makes him tick. He likes food a lot.

Tempest replied, "I don't know what it is. That's why I am interested in it. All I know is that it feels powerful and dangerous. It feels like a god."

Black Knife had definitely become interested too. His eyes gazed into the distance as he muttered, "How can we find out what it is?"

They got their answer immediately. They received a notification from the system.

-A Divine Calamity Has Descended From The Divine Realm.

-Please Beware.

"Wow," exclaimed the two men.

Taylor stood up and looked into the distance, where red and white light was flashing occasionally. "Something from the divine realm. This has to be an event, right?"

Black Knife nodded in excitement. He said, "It is going to be dangerous, though." Tempest was still silently looking into the distance.

Eventually she said, "We can't go. It is too far away, and we have a mission here."

This made the other two, who were about to suggest going to hunt it, calm down before they asked. Taylor sighed and sat down on the log again while Black Knife decided to return his attention to the roasting pig and be content with it.

But their calm was only temporary. They couldn't relax when they saw all the light shows from the distance. It was especially obvious because it was nighttime.

There was a large beast made of fire and ice. It looked like a bull, but they couldn't tell for sure because its body was not stable. It was woven of fire and ice, so it waxed and waned. It was also destroying everything around it as they watched.

All they saw stimulated them. They wanted to go there and fight it or at least watch it up close. They were only briefly distracted when they noticed a being of light standing on the tall walls of the Orc Empire.

This being looked like a giant because of all the light radiating out of him. It also caused the mark of the 9-headed dragon on their forehead to throb.

Tempest shifted her sight between the god on the walls and the divine calamity in the distance. Eventually she said, "I was wrong. The avatar of the 9 Crowns is more powerful. Vastly more powerful. But it seems that the divine calamity is growing stronger."

Taylor shrugged and said, "I don't care about that. I only want to fight and test my blade. I'll take any one of them willing to give me a chance.

Black Knife shushed him in fright. "Be careful what you say."

Eventually they got another notification.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

-(Quest Received)

(Objective: Kill The Divine Calamity)

(Reward: Essence and Divine Crystals)

(Description: A Divine Calamity has come to the mortal realm to escape the hunt of the gods. Kill it while it is still weakened by its descent."

The three of them took off immediately. They got on their horses and rode into the distance. They were not the only one. Many other players were also riding towards the divine calamity. It didn't matter if they were heroes or not.

Actually, everyone else had received the quest right from the moment they got the notification about the presence of the divine calamity in the mortal realms. It was the heroes that needed to be given permission by their gods to interfere with it.

So the three of them met up with others riding towards the divine calamity after a day of riding. They met with more players along the remaining 2 days it took them to reach the divine calamity.

These other players were mostly human. Only the few heroes among them were of different races. But all heroes had a mark on their foreheads that indicated which god they were contracted to.

What Taylor found was that there was no human hero. Every hero appeared to belong to non- human races. It made him wonder why that was, but he didn't fixate on that for too long. There were far more interesting things to see and think about.

The procession of players was quite a sight. Tens of thousands of people were using different kinds of means to rush towards the divine calamity rampaging while some people were trying to escape it.

The players formed a tide that surrounded the scorpion of fire from every side. They swarmed it and were poking it over and over again.

When Taylor and the other two arrived, they found many people who were already engaged with the divine calamity. Some of them were normal inhabitants of God's Domain, but most of them were players.

The number of people besieging the divine calamity had reached a hundred thousand and continued to swell by the moment. They all besieged this great beast who refused to fall.

He used inspection on the divine calamity, but it didn't work. Fortunately, the 9 Crowns had provided information to him and the other two.

NAME: Emptid

RACE: Zephyro

TIER: 2

LEVEL: 100

HP: 10,000,000

STRENGTH: 70,000

ENDURANCE: 1

SPEED: 29,999,

DIVINE ABILITY: Icy-Fire Hurricane.

STATUS: Hostile. Weakened.

Their efforts would have been completely useless if the divine calamity hadn't been weakened. This weakness was in its total lack of defense. It meant that weak beings could

harm it.

If it had the absolute defense it had in the divine realm, then no amount of weak beings would be able to harm it. Unfortunately, the process of coming down to the mortal plane had removed its absolute protection and crippled its endurance.
