Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1731: Familiar Yet Different.

The angel continued, “I am a flying library here to assist you with the information you need when you need it. If things go well for you, you will be able to get stronger angels in your angelic host in the future.”

The clones spoke among themselves. It was a silent affair that they did independent of their new divine bodies. After all, their minds were linked.

They can confirm that they can’t see the angels of the other clones, but they know the angels exist through each other. It could be the normal connection that exists in their mind or their Mind Network divine ability.

They finished conferring amongst themselves before they asked, “Why can’t we leave this area?”

They had noticed that there was a barrier around their location. It is a spherical barrier that locked them into this small area of the forest.

The angel replied, “The barrier is here to prevent you from interacting with the world until everyone is prepared. It will be removed once all 100 million god seed participants have joined in and set up their account.”

It continued, “That will take a year of time. If, after a year, those that have received the invitation don’t join in, then we will resume without them.”

The clones grunted and chose to sit down to wait. They asked the angel questions in the meantime. It couldn’t tell them a lot yet, but it told them of what to expect and their responsibilities in the world as future gods.

They learned about the stat screen from it. It was the familiar sight they were used to and hadn’t seen in a long time. Except, it showed them something completely different from what it used to do.

They learned that Divine Energy is their most important resource. It serves as the total amount of damage they can take before their current body gives out and dies. It also serves as the resources they will need to cast divine arts.

The angel had said, “It is both your hit points and mana and stamina.”

They got the gist when the angel explained it to them. It turned out that their current existence isn’t that different from the existence of transcendents. Their bodies have lost weak points and can recover from any injury as long as it is within their limits.

They learned that the second most important resource is Authority. It is the foundation of gods. It affects the power of their divine abilities and arts. It even affects the total amount of Divine Energy they can have.

The third most important resource is to be their domain, as it will affect what kind of divine arts they can use. Unfortunately, they don’t have domains yet because they are just god seeds. When they finally have their domains, it will probably become the most important thing to them, if only for the fact that they can bring it into the void universe and convert it into the Authority of the void universe.

They learned about the other stats and their importance to melee combat. They also learned about their levels and tiers. Their tiers are for the future, as they are currently the lowest of the low. They will need to meet certain conditions before they can evolve. As for their levels, it is determined by the amount of divinity that they have.

They have a total of 3 divinity distributed evenly between their 3 physical stats. That is less than 11, so they are level o. They will reach level 1 when they accumulate more than 10 divinity.

The world changed around them while they waited. Some creatures passed by them but didn’t see them. These creatures even passed through their bodies and didn’t touch them. Apparently the barrier that locked them in didn’t affect the creatures of the world at all.

The clones didn’t mind waiting for a year. A year is a short time to them as Origin gods with immortal lifespans. They can even resurrect, so death has lost its meaning to them. They only care about power, and they have a lot of time on their hands to do to achieve it.

Besides, it is not as if they don’t have other things they don’t need to do in the void universe. Controlling their divine bodies in this world doesn’t affect their construction of a Supreme Law much. It is something they have to do regardless of their success or failure in acquiring the Authority of the void universe.

Currently, they are working on the blueprint of their Supreme Laws. It is a process that needs information and knowledge. If they are not aware of aspects, how they work, and if they don’t weave those aspects into their Supreme Laws, the Supreme Laws they make will be weak.

That is a process that they do not have any estimate as to when they will be done with it. As greedy people, they want to have all the aspects in the world. They know that they can’t, so they are going to have to be content with all the aspects they can find. The problem with this is they don’t know how long they will have to search before they are content.

So they were busy running and trying new things to learn about aspects. Their current situation, whereby they have two bodies in different worlds, has given them the inspiration to go looking for all the dimensions present in the void universe.

They want to know and be able to enter more than one dimension. Currently they have their eyes set on the phantom dimension and the elusive energy dimension.

These two could improve them in a lot of ways. The spiritual dimension helped them to escape from their pursuers for a while until they came across the strange creature pursuing them. They expect the phantom dimension to help them in that aspect.
