GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1791: Expensive Plan.



Tempest sneered at her. It didn't show on the face of her divine body so she was able toie with a straight face. "Don't worry. As I said, I only came for the 9 Crowns. I'll be out of your hair as soon as I get what I want."

She is already thinking about what she will do after her special weapon returns. She is confident of its return because she was able to defend herself against the 9 Crowns

attack. That means her Authority is greater than his.

That means his true body won't be able to resist the golden spear and will die. Then his altar will be destroyed, and he won't be able to resurrect in a long time.

She took a great risk coming here with the divine weapon. It is a risk that might lead her to losing such a powerful weapon. But she couldn't give up on getting the 9 Crowns reward. After all, if the reward for merely being the first Godling is so good, the reward for being the first true god must be better. So she took the risk.

It was as she had said, she already knew the location of the base of the 9 Crowns because Tempest came to her with that information. This was before the divine council that occurred earlier today.

Tempest had heard about her bounty looking for the 9 Crowns, but she had been resistant about helping a god as powerful as her. After all, she knew what the danger of having such a powerful god become her enemy could lead to. It wasn't difficult to imagine because she was doing the same thing to the godlings close to her territory.

So she didn't want Crystal Hoard anywhere near her territory. Unfortunately, 9 Crowns pushed her to desperation until she was willing to have such a dangerous god as any. It was then that they decided to plan an ambush for when the 9 Crowns will come and it seemed to have worked.

Crystal Hoard had only wanted to confirm the information she got from Tempest earlier today when she announced that she was looking for information on the 9 Crowns at the divine council. She didn't expect that the 9 Crowns himself would swindle her right in front of everyone. It is just one of the many sacrifices that she has had to make in her pursuit of him. This ambush cost them a lot. The ambush itself was easy to set up since Tempest and the traitor God knew each other in the void universe. But the rest of their preparations had been expensive to make.

Crystal Hoarder had possessed her Oracle and waited for hours and was prepared to wait for days, so that she would be able to protect herself and make the first move as soon as possible.

Now all they have to do is rush to the location of the 9 Crowns' Oracles and kidnap them. That way, they will be able to force him to do their bidding when he eventually resurrect.

The weapon is called god killer but it won't kill the god permanently. Not when their Oracle is still alive. She will still have to do some things to make his death permanent.

According to her estimate, with the 9 Crowns' altar destroyed, he would be respawned at the divine investiture. But that will take at least a week because it is not his altar resurrecting them. That is more than enough time to get his Oracles.

She is sure her plan has worked out. All she is waiting for is for the spear to return to her. Then she will venture into his territory and take his Oracle without any issue.

The spear will return as long as the 9 crowns is dead. That should have happened so the spear should return anytime soon.

But the spear didn't return soon. What occurred was that 3 other orc true gods arrived. Crystal Hoard saw them from afar. Their presence made her frown. She turned to her accomplice and asked, "Who are they?"

Tempest looked at the 3 clones and said, "I have never seen them before."

Crystal Hoard asked, "Who are you?"

"Our identity is not important. We are here to help the 9 Crowns."

"It seems you are not confident enough to share your name. That's good. It means you are wary of me. Here's another good thing. We don't have to fight. I can pay you double whatever the 9 Crowns has offered you.

She is negotiating because she is waiting for her God killing weapon. Without golden light, even if she wins, she will only destroy the avatars of the three gods. But if she loses, she will lose her Oracle.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

It wasn't in her plan to fight 3 true gods after fighting the 9 Crowns and it certainly wasn't in her plan for golden light to take so long to return. So she wouldn't mind if the negotiation actually diffuses the enmity with the three true gods.

However, her hopes were dashed. The three of them were not tempted by her offer. The fingers of the 3 true gods lit up with the cold white light of a Divine Strike.

Crystal Hoard was enraged but she retaliated. Her finger lit up too and she attacked them. She was afraid she was too late in reacting, but that wasn't so. The strange thing is that even though she was late to attack, her attack was the first one to fly forward.

Her face lit up when she noticed this detail. She thought to herself, "It seems they were only trying to scare me. They didn't want to attack. But this good too. I have taken the initiative."

If one of the avatar dies, that will leave two. She and Tempest will have a better chance against the remaining two.

Unfortunately this didn't happen. The 3 clones were indeed trying to scare her. She fell for their ruse when she attacked first. They attacked as soon as she attacked.
