GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1960 Cutting Their Losses.

Chapter 1960  Cutting Their Losses.

So Legion decided to cut their losses short and take out all that they have earned so far in God's Domain. They were not happy about the decision, but they understood that they had to do it.

Besides, 18,650 units of Authority is more than enough for their needs. Still, they were not in a good mood about it. They became even more irritable when one certain AB Tfuck challenged them to a duel. The ignorant mortal had been challenging them for a long while now. Since he wasn't a hero, he needed to challenge a god to a competition and win in order to become a demigod.

But instead of picking one of the other four million gods, he chose to challenge the most powerful God. That is a foolishness that they won't encourage. They had been ignoring him for a long time. But this time, they decided to teach him a lesson before leaving God's Domain. So they agreed to the duel. The whole world was stunned when 9 Crowns accepted AB's challenge. They came in droves to watch it. Even the gods were curious. They wanted to see what 9 Crowns was up to.

But they didn't dare attend the challenge with their avatars or main bodies. They only sent some of their believers. As Heavenly gods, they can see through the eyes of all their believers. This way they would be able to avoid 9 Crowns ambush or trap.

They expect everything he does to be some kind of scheme to gain more power or hunt them. So they were both relieved and disappointed by the result of the challenge.

From tier 0 to tier 4 of the evolution of mortals, which is the epic tier. Then from the Epic Tier to the Legendary Tier and finally the demigod rank. Those are the steps that mortals have to go through to become gods. Heroes don't have a problem advancing through these ranks because they have the titan crystals. As long as they kill and acquire essence from others and meet the skill requirements, they will ascend easily. But other mortals are not so lucky. Without the titan crystal, mortals had to jump through different hoops to advance. The major hoop to jump through for a Legend to become a demigod is to gain the acknowledgement of the world as being on par with a god in certain aspects. Some Legends who wanted to become demigods in forging would challenge a god to a forging competition. Other Legends would challenge a god to a dancing competition, eating competition, cooking competition, or many other types of competition.

It all depended on what type of god these Legends wanted to become. So they have total freedom in who they can challenge and what competition they can pick.

In fact, a Legend can challenge the god of war to a kindness competition. It would be allowed even though the god has nothing to do with being kind, and the Legend would have an advantage. If the Legend wins the kindness competition, they will be acknowledged by the world as being on par with a god in terms of kindness, so they will be able to become a demigod.

Despite how loose the requirement is, no Legend has been able to become a demigod yet. All the ones that tried have failed because they couldn't match up to a god in any aspect.

But Ab thought it would be wiser not to pick some obscure skill to challenge a god in. Instead he thought it would be better to fight the strongest god in hand-to-hand combat. Everyone knew he was just asking for a beating.

As it was a challenge of skill recognized by the world, both combatants would have their power set at the same level of Legends. This way, the challenge would be about skill, not power. Despite this handicap to 9 Crowns, many people thought Ab was just asking for a beating. The mortals thought so, as well as the gods.

Even the gods, who are enemies of 9 Crowns, which is mostly everyone, thought the stupid mortal was doomed. The whole world was in agreement about this. It doesn't actually matter that the mortals thought 9 Crowns is undefeatable, as their opinion is clouded by faith. But it has to be a serious matter if the gods who could see farther ahead thought AB stood no chance and that there had to be a scheme afoot for why 9 Crowns would entertain this mortal's challenge. But this was no scheme to lure the gods out of their shell so that 9 Crowns could kill them. The challenge turned into a simple and honest beatdown.

Ab was beaten and then killed with Golden Light. No matter how talented a mortal is, he just can't compare to an Origin god. AB was lacking in terms of skills and experience.

Even the skills he had that Legion-1 hadn't seen before could be analyzed in an instant. After all, they wee just basic physical and energy movements. They can't compare with laws.

Ab was impaled by Golden Light after he was beaten to a pulp. Golden Light scattered his consciousness. He died in God's domain and on earth. Legion could have spared him, but they didn't want to. Besides, they wanted to cause more trouble for the gods before they left. 9 Crowns left Golden Light on the stage still stabbed into Ab's corpse. The sight remained in front of the whole world for a while with no one going forward to steal Golden Light.

But then the name of 9 Crowns disappeared from the rankings. It also disappeared from the divine steel in Gemmis. It meant 9 Crowns had lost access to God's Domain. The gods couldn't believe it. They were stunned for a long time. But that didn't stop them from rushing forward to fight for control of Golden Light. It was Mortal Blade all over again. Except this time the gods could involve themselves in the fight as well as the mortals.

A great war was fought for Golden Light. It started with the death of AB and was followed by the death of priests and believers of various gods. Then it swallowed the mortal and divine realms.
