Greed: All For What? - Chapter 1764: One Shot Man.
He had gained a lot of confidence when he reached level 50. At that time, he had 50 divinity in Endurance, 200 in Speed and 250 Strength. The fact that he had acquired half of the maximum divinity after 26 hours of ascending to the divine plane and his high Authority were the foundation of his confidence.
He decided to attack first instead of using Insight, which would warn his targets. He also decided to attack every god seed he laid eyes on. This caused his hunting speed to increase. Things got a little dangerous when he offended a group of powerful god seeds. They targeted him and didn’t give up as they chased him. It is the benefit of infinite stamina.
He led them around in a circle and managed to kill half of them. But then he saw that they wanted to pick up his loot and absorb it. After all, as a bow user, he was too far away from his target. That made him target the god seed that wanted to steal his loot to kill him.
Eventually he killed enough of them to discourage them. But that didn’t discourage some god seeds. They decided to surround him to prevent him from escaping.
Their plan almost worked, except that some random god seeds broke their encirclement from outside of it. They were 7 to be exact. They helped Legion-2 escape from them.
He too didn’t give up after escaping. He kept stalking and hunting them. This led to a series of harrowing events where the bulk of the god seeds decided to retreat to Gemmis and refused to come out.
Legion-2 shrugged and changed his target to the god seeds lurking around the four city gates. These god seeds prey on weakened god seeds returning to the divine city to replenish their divine energy.
They forewent the acquisition of Divine crystals in favor of divinity, so they are very strong. Most of them were at least level 10. Some had even reached level 30, the same level legion-1 started out with.
But their strength didn’t intimidate Legion. He smiled and said, “Where have you been all my life?”
Then he notched his arrow and began killing them from afar. The ambushers became ambushed. They tried to fight back, but he was too far away. They eventually retreated into Gemmis after realizing the errors of their way. But they still died enough to help him reach level 100.
That was the maximum level. He had to upgrade his tier and evolve from a god seed into a true god to gain more divinity. But he didn’t stop hunting god seeds. It would be foolish to do so when it has become so easy for him to kill.
He couldn’t use the divine orbs he gained from killing god seeds anymore, but the other clones who were hunting ice wolves surely could. They also need divinity to purchase divine spells from the divine investiture.
At this time, one arrow was enough to kill most god seeds because he put most of his divinity into strength. His strength was at 600, Endurance at 100, Speed at 300, for a total of 1,000.
So unless someone is level 60 and they put all their divinity in Endurance, they will always be damaged by his attacks if they don’t use Divine Shield or have an insanely powerful divine artifact to defend themselves with.
If they use Divine Shield, it would take authority of 6,000 at 10% to completely block his attacks. Even then, they would still lose 10 DE for using the shield.
Those with Authority at 6,000 don’t currently exist. There aren’t even god seeds with 1,000 Authority yet, but even if there were those with 10,000, they will still lose 10 DE after taking two hits from him.
The best part is that it costs him nothing to produce the attack, and he can produce 3.5 of them in a second. His high speed is to be thanked for the latter.
Unlike speed from artifacts, the speed granted by divinity affects both movement speed and attack speed. This effect increases with every doubling of10% of total divinity. So from 1 to 100, 200, and finally 300 for a total 3.5 attack speed in a second.
His killing efficiency didn’t increase when he reached level 100 because most gods don’t need up to 600 Strength in an attack for their heads to explode. 100 would do nicely. But the acquisition of divine crystals increased as the 7 clones loaded up on divinity he got from killing god seeds.
Once all of them had up to 10 divinity in Endurance, the ice wolves at the edge of the ice domain stopped being a threat to them. So all of them could face ice wolves on their own and didn’t need Legion-1 to defend for them.
They had to move deeper into the ice domain after clearing out the edge, but it was still easy thanks to Legion-2’s steady supply of divinity. When they accumulated enough divine crystals, they joined Legion-2 in hunting god seeds so that they could all reach level 100. Meanwhile, Legion-3 was at the temple working with Warshaw. He has been standing in front of the divine investiture, maintaining contact with it for over 24 hours now.
The divine investiture is the only way to communicate with Oracles since god seeds can’t descend to the mortal realm after ascending. But he didn’t have to stay at the base of the Steele. As long as he is in the temple, he will be able to access the divine investiture.
However, he chose this position because it grants him a good view of the city and a vantage point to monitor the goings and comings of other god seeds. He has seen a lot because a lot has happened since he entrenched himself in his position.
For one, more gods have ascended and more golden names have appeared on the stele. These have made the temple more crowded, which made it increase in size to accommodate the god seeds. But Gemmis as a whole didn’t increase in size, so the increase in population density could be seen clearly.
