GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1795: External Influence.



The other clones nodded grimly. Then they turned towards their newly created altar. It is the best way they know to destroy a weapon. This way they will be able to get something after the weapon has been scrapped.

They need all they can get, if only to upgrade their new altar. The old one and all the upgrades they had done to it to increase the amount of prayers that it could hold have all gone to waste.

They will have to spend more divine crystals to increase the capacity of the new one, and they will have to spend divinity to shorten the resurrection time. So they were hoping that the golden spear will produce some rare material after it has been scrapped to make up for their loses.

They weren't sure it would work since this divine weapon is clearly different from the other types of weapons they have acquired from gods who dropped them after dying. So their eyes lit up when they saw that their altar accepted the divine weapon.

The spear sank into the black cube with golden runes on it. This cut off Crystal Hoard's access to the spear immediately. The golden spear still isn't theirs, but they don't have to spend divine energy to suppress it anymore.

They now have the option of keeping it that way or destroying it. Unfortunately, there is no benefit they know to keeping it. Not only is it still not theirs, but they also won't be able to gain anything from it, and they also won't be able to forge any more weapons until they have resolved the spear.

They clicked the forging option on their altar in order to destroy it. It gave them an error.

-Can't forge weapon.

-There is an external influence on the weapon.

-Spend 26,345 Divinity to remove influence.

-Yes or No?

They didn't understand the prompt, as it is the first time they will encounter it.

Legion-2 mused, "It is just as we guessed. This weapon is different from other types of divine weapons. This might be difficult for us."

Legion-3 asked the angel, "What does this mean? Is this the price we have to pay to destroy it?"

The angel replied while holding its little chin, "The weapon is not yours, so you can't do anything to it. You have to remove the external influence on it first. When you do, you will be able to do anything you want to the weapon, including destroying it."

Their eyes lit up when they heard that. Their angel smiled and continued, "The price to remove the external influence is not a random number. It is dependent on the Authority of its rightful owner. So this 26,345 is the power of Crystal Hoard's Authority."

Legion-8 was excited. "So the altar can grant us ownership of the weapon, but it will require us to pay divinity equal to her Authority to remove her ownership of it. I like that kind of exchange."

Legion was glad to see this. Unfortunately, they didn't have 26 thousand divinity to change the ownership of the god-killing weapon. But they were not unhappy. In fact, they were the opposite of unhappy and many more.

Legion-9 sighed in relief and said, "This is good. At the least we don't need to spend divine energy to keep it anymore."

As if to approve of his words, they received a communication request from Crystal Hoard.

They decided to ignore it because if they didn't want her to get it before, now they won't give it to her even if she offers them 100,000 divinity for it. But they might be tempted if she offers them 1,000,000 divinity. That's another reason why they don't want to hear her speak. They don't want the temptation.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

They think very highly of the golden light god killer weapon. The fact that it just killed Legion-1 with a single hit can't let them let go of it. It is the fact that they understand why that is very difficult that they appreciate the golden light.

For one, they haven't heard of any divine artifacts that use Authority as a means of attack. This is the first time they have heard or seen any weapon like golden light. So it is a very rare weapon, just like Myriad Armament.

They understand that they are ignorant of most things about this world and even the void universe as a whole, so a weapon like golden light might exist somewhere and might even be common there.

But in the current situation of God's Domain, even if there are divine artifacts that use Authority, they are unlikely to be able to evolve like golden light and make use of up to 90% of Authority. Even their upgraded divine spells can only use 20% of their Authority. That makes golden light a currently unmatched means of attack.

As if that isn't bad enough, while 90% of 26,345 should be enough to kill Legion-1 even with his defense of 8,000 divinity, he shouldn't have died because he was nowhere the weapon. It was his avatar that was attacked, not him.

The death of his avatar shouldn't have affected him. But not only did the avatar die, it was used as a channel to invade Legion-1. From there, the full power of Crystal Hoard's Authority destroyed Legion-1 from within. He couldn't resist at all.

Now they know that it wouldn't have mattered what the defense of his divine body was as the attack wasn't external. It was internal, so it rendered his defenses useless all because his avatar was killed earlier by the weapon.

So all in all, the golden light is too powerful and too dangerous. Now that they have it in their grasp. It has to belong to them. They will never give it up. They would rather destroy it than let it go.

Legion-7 commented on the weapon, "The ability of the weapon to attack from within reminds me of the first sage. So technically, we have been burned twice by that trick."
