Chapter 1824: Mixed Feelings.



It is not a matter of being humble for him to claim that he might not be the strongest. He hasn't proven his strength to compare himself to them.

He can also fight the Orc Bandits right now and defeat them to claim his position as the strongest god, but he clearly doesn't plan to do that. He plans to fight them together with the tens of thousands of other gods. He is smart to plan that, but Legion is no slouch either.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Legion-1 shrugged and said, "We can be patient. We will follow your rules for now. But we will attack any divine calamity we want. No one can stop us from doing that."

They didn't give him the opportunity to use the gods against them. They gave up on hunting the gods and switched to hunting divine calamities. This way the gods would have a lesser reason to unite and gang up on them.

After all, divine calamities are truly too difficult to kill. The Orc Bandits won't be able to kill too many. The gods felt that it was a worthy trade-off to getting the Orc Bandits off their backs.

The alternative was risking their lives in a fight that many of them would die in. They didn't want that, so the gods were appeased, and so was Legion. After all, they would be able to hunt divine calamities without having to create them. But Smite was not appeased.

Smite frowned where he was in the void universe. He considered a lot of things, including the fact that the 9 Crowns' demand was undermining his authority in front of all the gods.

It replied with a flicker of its wings, "Apart from the fact that you will gain unique divine spells, an increase to the amount of divinity of the divine body, another slot for an oracle, and the ability to upgrade divine spells further, I don't know anything else."

Legion-5 grumbled, "I wonder why a lot of gods called you unreliable."

The angel chuckled and said, "I'm sure you're not wondering. You already know why."

The six of them sat on the ground and discussed silently between all nine of them. But the other gods only saw them sit silently and watch them prepare the divine calamities. They didn't like it at all. Only Smite was happy to see the current situation.

This domain god stood in the sky and watched everything going on with pleasure. Legion was right to be suspicious of him, and they were also correct when they accused him of trying to monopolize the ancient titans. But that's only part of the equation.

Monopolizing the ancient titans is an accidental benefit of being the only domain god. It is not even certain if all the gods combined will be able to defeat the ancient titans. But if they do manage to defeat the ancient titans, not many gods will be able to compete with him for their hearts that will be left behind.

However, his main goal, which is independent of the ancient titans, is something that relies on the benefits of being the first domain god. Because of this benefit, he wants more gods to gain the domain quest. That's why he spread the news. He didn't do it out of generosity. He is not stupid.

The smart thing to do was to monopolize the information that gods can get domain quests from killing divine beasts, just like the second true god to get the domain quest did. But he had more to gain by letting everyone know, so he didn't keep it a secret.

But he couldn't let things pan out on their own. He has to interfere, or it won't work at all. He has to be here to ensure that the orc bandits won't ruin his plan by slaughtering everyone and making it difficult to create divine calamities.
