GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1792: Combination Tactics.



The 3 clones attacked Crystal Hoard at virtually the same time. It looked like they attacked the same time because the interval between the moment they attacked was too short.

3 divine strikes flew towards her. They also used Insight to confirm her identity.

Crystal Hoard not only has more Authority than them, but she is also a God king with a boost to her Authority so their attacks are bound to fail to bypass her defense. That's why they let her attack first.

One of the avatars was struck with her attack. Its divine shield crumbled as expected. The avatar winked out immediately.

As for their attacks, the first attack was blocked by her shield. The second one was also blocked. But the barrier broke. This is because it had become weakened from the first attack.

Crystal Hoard had rolled and dodged as soon as she attacked. But the three attacks didn't miss her. The following two would have missed her had they been created at the same time as the first. But they weren't. They was a slight delay that ensured that the following attacks were made after she moved so they trailed her position.

This was out of her expectations, but she still reacted. She tried to create a new shield. Unfortunately, she has to wait for a second after her first divine spell to use another one.

There is a cooldown between each use of divine spells. While divine spells can be cast nearly instantly, a god won't be able to use another until after a second. This can create quite the problem if the god was the first one to attack.

This meant her Oracle became open to the 3rd attack. It was struck without a shield to protect it. So it went up in smoke and ashes immediately.

The death of the Oracle was not in vain. One of the avatars had been defeated. That left Tempest and two remaining avatars.

Tempest had attacked later than Crystal Hoard, and her attack had been blocked by the shield of the avatar she attacked. That was proof that she couldn't win this fight on her own.

She would need other helpers who could plan and attack in perfect synchronicity with her in order to defeat them. These strict requirements had to be met, or her helpers would be divided instead of working together as one.

She didn't have these kinds of helpers, so the two clones didn't attack her. She relaxed a little when she saw that they didn't attack her.

She said to them, "We can talk about this. I'm sure we can come to an arrangement."

The fingers of the two lit up immediately. They said to her, "Disband your Pantheon and join up with the 9 Crowns' Apocalypse Pantheon."

Her face fell, and the glowing eyes of her Oracle flickered. She said, "Anything but that." One of the clones said, "We will ask you one last time. Consider your answer carefully and use the information that this request is what the 9 Crowns paid us for to influence your decision- making. We have to meet this request at all costs. We have signed the divine contract, so there can't be any negotiation."

The other clone also insisted, "Disband your Pantheon and join the Apocalypse Pantheon now."

She didn't reply. She was struggling to make a decision.

They decided to urge her. "You have 10 seconds to make a decision. You have used 3 seconds already."

She asked them, "Will I be allowed to become a domain god?"

Joining a Pantheon is not something to be taken lightly, if only for the fact that leaving it is not easy. One will have to pay an exit fee. In her situation, she had set the exit fee for her pantheon at 100,000 divinity.

This exit fee is not something she can change at anytime, even as the god king. She will need the consent of the other gods when they are about to join her pantheon or when they are already in the pantheon. But like right now, the consent can be forced.

So if she doesn't want her gods to leave, she can make things difficult for them. That means if the 9 Crowns doesn't want her to leave the Apocalypse Pantheon, he too can make things very difficult for her.

Not only that, a god in the Pantheon has to tell their believers about the god king. They have to let them know that there is a god above them. It must be in their religious text and be depicted in religious murals. So if she joins the 9 Crowns' Pantheon, all of her believers will know that she is just a surbodinate god.

Not only will that damage her prestige, it will also funnel her believers to the god king. That way the god king will gain an advantage in numbers of believers and the boost from the title of god king. It will become even more difficult to challenge the god king and win. These are things to consider seriously if she won't be able to leave the pantheon easily. Not that she has much of a choice. So she decided to consider the bright side of this proposition. She thought to herself, "At least they are not going to kill me permanently. As long as I can become a domain god, I can suffer any injustice."

Joining a Pantheon isn't completely a bad thing. At least it is not supposed to be. There are many benefits to be had by those in a pantheon other than the god king. The other gods in the pantheon gain the ability to descend to the mortal realm through the altars of other gods in the Pantheon. This way they can always help each other.
