Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1759: Got Off On The Wrong Foot.
All he needs is Divine Energy and Authority. Then he can create Divine Strikes in the direction he is pointing his finger. It was very easy to do.
All three clones at the back were designated to deal with the god seeds. The three of them combined their sights and aimed im sync. This way they didn’t have any blind spots. Each of the Divine Strike that they used hit their targets accurately.
The divine strike is an arrow of white light. It is small but fast. The first divine strike hit the closest god seed to them. This god seed had a divine shield on, but the shield broke on contact, and the arrow struck the god seed’s unprotected head.
The second arrow was right behind the first, so it stuck the god seed without the barrier to protect him.

-You Hit God seed with Divine Strike.
-Judgement: Attack Successful.
-Damage: -23hp.
A large portion of the damage of the first attack was blocked by the Divine Shield, but the second attack scored a clean hit on the head.
The third attack was not so lucky. The god seed was pushed back by the first two attacks and was also trying to dodge, so the third attack missed his head and hit his chest instead. There was no Divine Shield, but the armor the god seed was wearing was in the way.
All in all, Legion managed to deal 61 damage in exchange for 30 Divine Energy. Considering that the god seed had to use 10 DE to create the Divine Shield, then the total damage was 71. So their use of divine spells was efficient.
The series of notifications were received by both Legion and the god seed they struck, so they are both aware of what each other was capable of.
Even though the stat interaction was not indicated, they were able to glean more information about each other from the damage they did.
Legion, for one now knows that the Endurance of the divine body of the enemy is 23, that of the armor is 7, while the Authority is 150. These values would explain the outcome of their attacks since their Divine Strike should deal a maximum of 53 damage.
This number made Legion become bolder while their enemy became discouraged. She stopped rushing forward and was about to speak to diffuse the enemity between them. She doesn’t think it will work, but she wants to try anyway.
She spread her arms to stop her fellows and said to the clones, “It seems we got on the wrong foot. There’s no need to use Divine Spells to resolve this. You will be losing out too. You can only acquire a pyrhicc victory.”
But Legion didn’t give her any chance. Legion-2 stretched out his hand towards her and cast Divine Hold on her. Then more Divine Strikes flew forward one after the other from the clones at the frozen god seed.
Some of the clones didn’t even look back as they cast Divine Strike. They were fighting the ice wolves and would point their fingers to a target behind them without looking. But they were always able to hit their target.
A Divine Strike flew out of their fingers each second, aiming for her head. The god seed had already lost 60 of the total 150 Divine Energy. So she was in a precarious situation.
She was very fast and might have been able to dodge one or two Divine Strikes, but with Divine Hold and the large difference in Authority keeping her still, the only thing she could do was use Divine Shield to resist.
The difference in Authority meant that the Divine Hold spell would only be able to keep her still for 3 seconds. But she couldn’t last one second after four spells plummled her vulnerable head one after the other.
She said to her fellows as she died, “Make them pay.”
Then she turned into motes of light and dropped a white glowing ball. It was a sight that enamoured Legion, but shocked their enemies.
What made the other god seeds shocked apart from the death of their leader was that more divine strikes followed soon after. Most of them came without warning too.
At least they could tell who the three clones at the back are targeting, but they didn’t even notice when the other 6 attacked or who they were aiming for.
They didn’t give up, though. They used their superior speed to try and dodge the attacks. Each one of them has at least 20 stats in their speed, while some have above 30 thanks to their equipment, so dodging as long as they can anticipate an attack is not a problem.
Plus, they are experienced with fighting other god seeds. They know that Divine Strikes are powerful, but they can only be used once every second, and that as long as they exhaust their enemies’ Divine Energy, they have already won. So they stuck around and didn’t retreat.
But the clones are far from normal. Not only are the 6 random attacks from the clones fighting the wolves unpredictable, all 9 of them can also synchronize their attacks to make them undodgeable.
Then there is Divine Hold, which renders the advantage in speed mute. First, the clones froze all nine of them. Then they used the time to produce attacks. They could only produce 5 Divine Strikes every second because of the wolves, but that was more than enough to deal
catastrophic damage.
Four attacks killed each god seed because they only had an average of 100 in Authority, so their pool of Divine Energy was low and the power of Divine Shield was poorer.
That meant that instead of just three seconds, the god seeds were frozen for four seconds or more. Legion was able to produce 20 Divine Strikes in that time, which killed 5 of them. Then they killed the weakest god seed that was still frozen after four seconds to make a total of six.
