Chapter 1828: Bad News And Hope.



"You should know that I can't make attacks anytime I want. I need divine energy to make attacks, and it must come from you, gods."

"So you have to supply me divine energy 10 days from now when I have to attack. If you refuse to supply me or run out of divine energy yourself, then all of the divinity you donated will go to waste and we will all die."

This declaration caused a lot of gods to groan. The series of bad news was dealing its toil on them.

Fortunately, Gemmis had some good news for them. It said, "There is a silver lining. If we succeed in killing the ancient titan's current bodies, there will be loot to be had, and it will be distributed based on the contribution of divine energy. So it is a chance for all of you to gain something from this situation."

That indeed made some gods feel better, but not many were optimistic about things. Unless they could kill the ancient titans, there won't be any loot. Even if they manage to kill them, it is unlikely that they will get much because of 9 Crowns.

They know for a fact that 9 Crowns had the highest Authority. That means he will have the highest storage of divine energy. So they could already tell that he would have the highest contribution of divine energy to Gemmis.

Gemmis continued, "Many of you have reached out to me to donate more. I am glad to inform you that we can vote again to increase the donation amount. That will increase our chances of survival. Not only will my attacks be more powerful, but we will need less divine energy to kill the ancient titans."

"So let's vote now."

They voted some more on other aspects, such as the previous ones that they usually vote for. The most important one was the reward for the ranking list.

Now that it was Legion's turn to be rewarded, they voted to allow the rewarding. But the other gods voted against it. Not even the opportunity to get domain quests from Gemmis changed their minds.

They surely want the domain quests, as it is a better alternative to trying to create divine calamities and hunting them for a small chance of a domain quest. But they also know that they might lose access to God's Domain soon.

They have ten days before the ancient titans come. That is too little time for them to guarantee that they can get their domains after receiving the domain quest. But if there is someone who can get a domain in that short time, it will have to be 9 Crowns and his band of Orc allies.

It is a given that they hate 9 Crowns and don't want him to get more benefits. But they certainly don't want him to get something that they can't get.

Legion-1 sneered at them and said, "This is why we have all been stuck as true gods and had to sacrifice divinity to make divine calamities. Are you not already sacrificing something and gaining nothing? Is gambling such a better choice than to let me get my just reward? Rather than waste your divinity, is it not better to let us grow stronger together?"

He berated them just like Crystal Hoard did when they denied her her reward. He did so with righteous indignation, as if he too hadn't voted against Crystal Hoard in the past.

He was mostly right, though. Voting to allow the reward will strengthen all of them. The god kings know that. But they also know that 9 Crowns is too strong for a true god. They don't want him to become a domain god yet.

What's odd was that Smite spoke up in support of 9 Crowns. He said, "We should stop this behavior of harming ourselves in order to sabotage someone else. If we keep blocking the road ahead, no one would be able to pass."
