Chapter 1890: Set Victory.
The strongest orcs before the advent of the gods were almost at level 50. After the boost of mana and natural acquisition of classes, they have even reached tier 3 and have gained a maximum boost of 700%. Those orcs can produce a maximum power of 640 with their bare hands and a strength of 10. With those hands, they can surely crush these men in armor into balls of metal and can withstand a direct attack from a cannon.
That's just their natural power. If they use his divine weapons or the divine spells he granted them, they can produce power that reaches 13,440. It is more than enough to tear down this fortress on their own. So it was not an exaggeration that the upcoming fight is already a defeat for the humans.
With his victory set, he can afford a landslide victory that will bolster the orcs and increase their faith in his gods. For that, he plans to strike the commanders on the battlefield in the open for all to see the consequences of going against a god.
In the meantime, he slinked back to wreak havoc in the fortress. He killed the cooks, destroyed their store of food, contaminated their water, and destroyed their waste disposal system.
He did a lot of things to make their lives miserable and their morale easy to break. But he didn't touch their gunpowder, and he didn't scare them too much.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He wanted them to resist, and he left them their gunpowder so that the humans would have the one thing they chose to rely on. That way they won't have an excuse when they lose. But he made sure to make the men themselves easy to break.
It is true that he doesn't consider them or any mortal a threat. In fact, he admires their resolution to rely on themselves. But they are his enemies, so they must be destroyed.
They spoke some more about this Pantheon war as Legion-1 made his way to the meeting. The meeting is at the location of their Pantheon Spire. It is a skyscraper in Gemmis that belongs solely to their pantheon.
A lot has happened in the year since they became domain gods. Smite and Feathered Serpent were displaced on the ranking list. This made them angry and fearful, but it didn't change their minds about letting Gemmis reward those at the top of the ranking list.
They have too much to gain in allowing Gemmis to start granting Domain quests based on their ranking. If they don't allow others to find Domains, they won't be able to steal it from them when they find it.
Not that their reluctance would have mattered. The majority of the gods had become fed up with 9 Crowns, and their world gods were determined to get domains.
The gods wanted Domains at all costs after being bullied by the two domain gods and the 9 Crowns. It didn't matter if they were preventing the 9 Crowns from growing stronger when he had already become the strongest and even possessed the one thing every god wanted.
So the majority of God kings voted for Gemmis to begin interfering in the affairs of the gods based on the ranking. This led to the 9 Crowns earning 1 million divinity for each of their top rankings.
They are ranked top on 3 of the 4 rankings, so they earned 3 million in total. They will get another 3 million next year if they maintain their ranking since the reward is yearly.
They intend to do that and maybe secure the top place in the new hero ranking that was just added. That will make them gain 4 million divinity.
