Chapter 1779: Haughty Ignorance.
Legion didn't bother to argue with this strange god. She doesn't know their true identity and how they were responsible for killing tens of thousands of dragons and destroying their home plane in his realm. They are not going to tell her either because that would be exposing their identity in the void universe. As beings of great power, they know that information is power and can be used to track people. So they don't want to be baited into revealing their identity. Instead, they want to end this conversation as quickly as possible.
So Legion-1, "I will repeat for the last time. What do you want?"
She was bristling, but she forced herself to calm down. Even so, she still maintained an imperious tone as she spoke. "I have created a Pantheon. You should join it. It will be in your favor to do so."
She spoke as if she were doing them a favor. She thinks she is, but unfortunately, the 9 Crowns don't think she is doing them a favor.
They replied with haughty ignorance, "No thanks."
She almost lost her restraint then. Still, she continued, "You don't know what's good for you, so I will make it easy for you. Hand over your reward for being the first true god, and I will let this be bygones."
Legion-1 asked with genuine surprise, "Why would I do that?"
She explained to the dumb creature, "Because I can be a very terrible enemy. Since you have refused to be my ally, it would be in your best interest not to make me your enemy."
"So you are not even offering money?"
She said with pride, "My promise not to hunt you to the ends of the divine realm is priceless." A reply didn't come. The channel was broken because the other side switched it off.
Crystal Hoarder's ugly face became uglyr as she scowled. But she wasn't angry anymore. Instead, her eyes were twinkling as she thought about the conversation they just had.
-Regional Announcement.
-4,000,000 god seeds have become Godlings.
-This marks the end of the trial period.
-The Ancient Titans have sensed the growing threat of the gods and have begun to awaken from their slumber.
-Prepare yourself for their imminent attack.
This announcement caught the gods off guard. They don't even know who the ancient titans are, much less how to prepare for their attacks. Fortunately, they had the divine spirit of their various divine cities to inform and mobilize the gods for the resistance.
Gemmis sent a message to every god-king. Legion also received the notification because they had finally created a Pantheon.
-You have been invited to the Divine Council of Gemmis.
-This is the inaugural session of the Divine Council.
-Do you accept the invitation?
-Yes or No.
Anyone of the clones could accept it, but they decided to send only one. Legion-1 accepted it and disappeared from the hotel. He appeared in a large domed cathedral with walls lined with stairs that reached the top. The stairs extend into platforms with thrones on them.
Legion-1 appeared in one of the thrones. Other god-kings also appeared after he arrived. They were busy examining each other and checking out their competition. They did so openly and sometimes with hostile gazes.
