Chapter 1803: Blockade Of The Five Gods.
He actually wants both their weapon and divinity, but he knows he can't have their weapon if they don't give it up. This is the divine realm, so they can put their divine weapons into their inventory before their death, so the best he can get if he forces them is their divinity and the armor on their body, which will need to be removed before they can put it into their
inventory.
This is why he is hoping to lull them with false promises. He thought it would work since no divine weapon should be worth 5,000 divinity at this stage. At most, their weapon should be something fancy because it changes shape. That shouldn't be enough for them to risk half their total divinity. But they didn't fall for it.
Instead, they killed another three of his gods. This made him frown. However, their refusal to comply didn't discourage the god.
He said, "Fine. Take the hard way. I'll accompany you on this difficult path that you have chosen."
Actually, this chase was far from difficult for him. He hasn't given up despite 23 of his gods dying because he hasn't lost much. The divine orbs of the gods that died were not taken as Legion was trying their best to escape.
The clones couldn't bend down or run back to pick up the divine orbs in the middle of the fight, which meant that the divine orbs could be given back to their owners. Their divinity will be restored, so the only thing they have lost is divine energy. It is a worthy investment for 10,000 divinity from both clones.
This is one of the many advantages of a pantheon. Once many gods are working together, it will be difficult to get any benefit from them unless one can send all of them running. Meanwhile, they will send all their enemies running with their superiority of numbers.
The gods in a pantheon can also work together peacefully because benefits are distributed equally. This makes division of labor and self-sacrifice possible.
Some gods in the pantheon can be busy risking their lives to hunt in the elemental zones because they know that their divine orbs will be secured, while others are willing to stand guard close to Gemmis, doing nothing on the off chance that there will be a target to ambush for the pantheon.
This is why the two clones found some 5 gods blocking their path to Gemmis when they got close to the city. The five gods smiled at them while the god king behind them heckled them with his vulgar jokes.
Legion-2 was the closest one to these five gods, so he couldn't rely on Legion-1 to tank their hits for him. Legion-1 was busy with the pantheon chasing them from behind. This made it so that their current tactic of Legion-1 being the shield won't work. But that didn't stump them. Legion-2 used divine hold on those who were fast enough to close the distance between them quickly. He finished these ones first before bombarding the rest with arrows.
The clones were winning as the gods blocking them don't have enough Authority or Endurance to resist Legion-2 of them. The 5 of them will die soon. But since their mission is to delay the two of them, they are not doing so badly.
Legion-2 with Myriad Armament made for a terrify combination. All he needed was a maximum of two seconds to kill the five gods. But these are two seconds that he will be spending without being able to assist Legion-1.
Legion-1 was durable but slow. This made it easy to surround him. He also had a weak attack, so he couldn't fend off his pursuers quickly enough. They overtook him and even advanced on Legion-2 to surround him. By the time Legion-2 was free to deal with them, they had closed in on him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Legion-2 had been busy fighting the five gods blocking his way, which also made him unable to run forward and create distance with the pantheon. The delay caused by the five gods nullified his advantage of distance and made him surrounded.
Legion-2's weakness became quickly evident when he began receiving attacks. He had very little endurance, which made his divine energy dwindle rapidly.
The other clones could have helped him with divine energy, but they didn't. Instead, Legion- 2 passed off his divine energy to the other clones. This brought him closer to death faster than his attackers could.
When he was about to die, he pointed at the god king and cast Divine Judgment on him.
-You have hit ??? with Divine Judgment (2).
-Judgment: Attack Failed.
-Dame: -ODE
This result was as they expected. The god king had a higher authority than them, so they couldn't hurt him with divine spells. The spell was a waste, but it wasn't much of a waste because Legion could afford to pay 20% of 100 DE to learn more about their opponent.
The failure of the divine spell made the god king sneer. Legion-2's death soon after made him break out laughing.
His laughter was short lived because Legion-2 picked up his divine orb and the pouches he was carrying. The god king frowned because Legion-2 was difficult to harm, much less kill.
Someone would need to put all their divinity in strength to be able to hurt him once he gains more endurance with the Divine Endurance spell. Even Legion-2 who focused on strength, only put 7,000 in it. How will others put 10,000 divinity in their strength? It would be exceptional if they put 5,000 in it.
As for them enhancing their strength with Authority, it won't give them much boost because the average Authority of gods 5,000. Many gods have less. Having 10,000 Authority is rare. Only god kings with a boost from a large pantheon can top that.
So despite Legion-1 being surrounded, he couldn't be killed. But that didn't make Legion-1 feel confident of survival. He knew he was going to die because Legion-2's Divine Judgment spell failed.
