Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1763: The God Hunter.

They are already strong as a group since they share Authority amongst each other. They are not going to create nine mediocre god seeds. Instead, they intend to create one extraordinary god seed.

Unlike the other god seeds, they can trust each other unconditionally. So only one of them will absorb the divinity they gain. The addition of all their divine energy and Authority will lead to the creation of one super-extraordinary god seed.

The success that Legion-1 enjoyed in the free for all has proven that their decision is correct and that they should continue with it. The next thing to decide was if they should continue with Legion-1 or create a new super-extraordinary clone specifically for hunting god seeds. They chose the latter, and the clone they chose for this great work is Legion-2. He has a bow, so he has the longest range of attack amongst all of them. This will solve the problem of gods running away that they encountered with Legion-1.

The arrows he shoots always return to his quiver, so he has unlimited armory. He is also the only one who can perform best on his own with blind spots in his vision. After all, an arrow only needs to see one target.

They didn’t choose Legion-1 for this because his mission is to help them acquire divine crystals. He will protect them from the ice wolves and the ambush of god seeds.

Acquiring divine crystals is their failsafe plan since divine crystals are still a priority if they want to become one of the first godlings. But first, he has to help Legion-2 acquire energy divinity to become deadly to the other god seeds.

The free for all has taught them that only one of them is needed to hunt god seeds. So while Legion-2 is doing that, Legion-1 and the rest of them will be hunting divine beasts.

When all of that was decided, they left Gemmis again, leaving one clone behind in the temple. They chose Legion-3 because he is too weak to use his daggers to hunt ice wolves.

Daggers are short range weapons, but fighting in that range will expose him to danger, which is why he is usually at the back of the squad, providing protection, overhead view, and ambush warning to the clones.

But now he will sit in front of the investiture Steele to use prayers to replenish divine energy and remain in contact with Warshaw as she tries to increase their numbers of believers. Staying in contact is the most important reason they have decided to let him stay behind, seeing as they are preparing for war.

The other eight clones left Gemmis and killed every god seed they encountered. It was not efficient like the free for all since god seeds were running away from them in different

directions. But they eventually managed to reach their goal of raising Legion-2 to a respectable level.

They prioritized his speed and strength over endurance. This is important because god seeds can’t have more than 1,000 divinity. They will stop gaining levels when they reach level 100. This will continue until they evolve. Until then, they have to prioritize which aspect of their existence they want to empower with Divinity.

Legion-1 is to focus on Endurance and Strength while Legion-2 would focus on Strength and Speed. This way, they will be able to do their respective jobs effectively.

The remaining 7 clones, including Legion-1, continued to the elemental zones to kill divine beasts, while Legion-2 separated from them to hunt gods.

Legion-3 was communicating with Warshaw. He could only get information when she prayed to him. Information and her memories were transmitted to the divine investiture as prayers. He can only gain access to those prayers when he is in contact with the stele.

Every god seed that has ascended can only use this method of communication for now. They can’t see what their Oracles are currently doing or what situation they are in. They have to wait for their Oracles to pray to them. Then they have to come to Gemmis to access the prayers.

If they want to mobilize their believers and Oracles in the mortal realm to help them expand their religion, this method of communication ensures that it would be very difficult to do, and they won’t even be able to offer help. That’s why they told Warshaw to only gather information about the surrounding tribes for now.

Warshaw gave them the information she had about the surrounding tribes first before she sent warriors and scouts to check up on them.

From what she said, there are 3 tribes nearby. They plan to target the weakest tribe first. If they can convert them without bloodshed, it would be good. If not, then they will kill a lot of them and use their souls to create their altar.

Sacrifice will also grant them divine energy so they are not against a fight. But above all, they intend to be cautious lest they become the ones whose believers would be used to create altars and supply divine energy for other gods.

While other gods were fighting each other for divinity and using their divinity to hunt for divine crystals only to return to the temple to direct their Oracles in the acquisition of living sacrifice, Legion was doing all three at once.

Legion-2 first targeted the god seeds that were hunting divine beasts. This way he was able to see them fight and estimate their strength before taking action. He didn’t fight anyone he met on the way or those not fighting. He made sure to only target the weak.

This cautious approach made hunting slow as he had to observe his targets. But then his hunting speed picked up after a few hours spent killing more than a hundred god seeds. He began to target anyone in sight.
