There were no sounds as Legion-9 worked. His work was silent, as no hammer was striking against an anvil, and he wasn't actually using a heated forge or needing his hands for anything to make divine weapons. It was their altar that made the weapon for them.

They just have to give the altar instructions, such as the different steps of material combination, individual material ratio, temperature, duration of heat, density, and shaping. Each of these instructions affects the outcome of their product.

They haven't found the necessary material ratio to mix divinity gold with the other raw materials or the steps needed to combine them, which is causing them to fail at creating a superior product with the more powerful material. But by eliminating the other materials and focusing on divine gold, they have removed the need for different steps of material

combination and ratio of combination.

This allowed them to focus more on studying the temperature of divine gold, the duration of the heating, and the required density after pressurization and shaping techniques.

Even so, there are still a lot of factors to consider. But they are not impatient. They understand that forging must have a set of rules that they are not privy to. One year is small compared to the amount of time it took them to learn their first law in the void universe, so they don't think they are going too slowly.

What they are impatient about currently is overcoming the obstacles in the mortal realm and increasing their Authority quickly. So as soon as Legion-1's avatar descended, he went searching for the Oracles of the true gods beyond his territory.

The Bull Horn tribe has become bigger. This is due to their victory in expansion over the year. These victories have led to the increase in Authority of the 9 Crowns. Unfortunately, it is not nearly enough for them.

They could have had more believers, but some tribes resisted, which led to violence. The war between tribes caused a lot of suffering, pain, and death, so the rate at which they gained believers has been slow.

Maybe if they had moved slowly and used time to grind down the resistance of the mortals, they would have gained more believers per tribe. But that method is too slow, and they are clearly in a rush.

Fortunately, orcs are not strangers to violence. In fact, they respect it and are more receptive to it than peaceful negotiations. If they were humans, for example, they would bear some grudges even if they lost.

Actually, humans seem to bear a lot more grudges and hatred when they lose. Legion heard about this and the struggle that human gods were going through. Their orcs, on the other hand, don't hold much of a grudge against their victor, especially if it is supported by the divine.

Orcs respect the strong. If a chief is weak, he will be replaced immediately. In the past, this used to be by death. But due to a modicum of civilization, they don't need to kill to replace the chief. Just like so, if a god is weak, then he or she will be replaced by a stronger god.

The 9 Crowns have proven themselves to be the stronger god, so they deserve their faith. It doesn't matter that they were subdued by violence. Their previous gods will remain false gods, while the 9 Crowns will remain the one true god, until they are defeated.

All they need is time for total society saturation of the tribes they had captured and time for reproduction. Then the potential of their territory will be fully realized. But they don't have that time. They have to look outwards for new sources of Authority.

The Bull Horn tribe has not gotten big enough to cover all the land they have available, but they are already in conflict with the tribes at their border. It is a significant conflict because those tribes are supported by true gods. So the mortal army can't defeat them on their own. They need the help of their god.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Their current territory is in the shape of a rectangle. It is a rectangle at the very edge of the northern domain. Behind them is something they can't overcome, and in front of them is a fortified mountain fortress limiting their expansion.

Because of these two blockades, they have only been able to expand sideways. So the breath of their territory has remained fixed while the length has increased. But the tribes of the other true gods have intervened to stop the increase of the length of their territory.

They can't overcome the tall mountain range behind them. It is so tall that it reaches the divine realm. As for the blockade in front of them, it is the barrier that separates the human territories from the orcs's.

If the Bull Horn's tribe is to expand forward, they would be expanding towards the center of the continent. The center of the continent happens to be occupied by the human race.

Legion is ready to fight for Authority, but a fight with the humans is not palatable because the Bull Horn tribe is currently flanked by enemies and because humans are not their source of faith. They don't even want the humans if they could have them. The humans are too problematic for them.

So rather than fight a wasteful war for human territories, they would ratter target the orc true gods nearby. It is not something that they have just started doing. They have just been taking it slowly because of caution.

They have enjoyed some succession trying to get rid of the religion of the other true gods. But it has come at a cost. They have lost 4 priests out of 10 due to the attack from all sides. Those are 4 tools that they can never recover despite taking a lot of precautions.

Their enemies have tried to kill Warshaw several times, but they managed to save her through possession and descending in time. Now the remaining priests can't leave Warshaw's side and have to have an altar nearby for timely assistance, or they will be killed.

It is not Legion's style to be passive, so they have been taking the fight to their enemies. It is routine at this point. Once every day, they will attack one of the three true gods flanking

them.

It is something of a slow and cautious grind against their enemies. By the looks of things, they are winning. If given time, they will surely be able to assimilate the tribes at the edge of their territory. But they don't have time.

Everything is a race for gods. Especially now that the ancient titans are awakening. They don't know what to expect. All they know is that more power can't be a bad thing. So they are throwing a lot of caution to the wind and hitting their enemies with a hard blow.

This time Legion-1 is picking the most powerful enemy on their left side to attack. This is the only true god on their left side. The other two true gods are on their right.

Because this god was too far away when Legion became true gods, she survived the culling that Legion visited on the god seeds around them. Because this true god was the first in her region to become a true god, she used the advantage of power to gain more advantages in Authority.

Unlike Legion, who killed every Oracle around their territory, this true god kidnapped the oracles of other gods and took them hostage. Then she used the Oracles to pressure the gods into doing her bidding.

She killed the Oracles of the stubborn gods and wiped out their religion while she forced the obedient ones to meet her demands. One of those demands is joining her pantheon when they become true gods.

But she didn't let them become true gods yet. That's because when they do, they will have the power to resist her and will be able to create another Oracle even if she kills the hostage with her.

There's also the fact that they can challenge her even if they join her pantheon. They may be able to work together to surmount her position as god king. After all, being the creator of a Pantheon doesn't mean someone else can't steal it from you.

It will be difficult to take her position from her, but as long as they are stronger than the god king, they can challenge the god king and take his throne. So she is waiting to become a domain god before allowing her surbodinate gods to become true gods.

She hasn't admitted to this, but her instructions, forcing the god seeds to remain godlings after forcing them to promise to join her Pantheon when they become true gods, have clued Legion in to what she is waiting for.

Legion will admit that it is a wise plan. Which is why she is the most dangerous god to them. They have to get rid of her before she becomes a domain god or allows the other gods around her to become true gods and join her pantheon.

She is currently weaker than them in terms of Authority because she allowed the religions of the other gods to exist. But that won't be the case for long if she gains a 99% increase in Authority. So they have to get rid of her soon.

Legion-1 thought to himself on his way to territory, "It is a pity that there's no sure way to corner these gods in the divine realm or we would get rid of them easily."

He would like to go over and kill the main bodies of the gods. Unfortunately, competition between gods in the mortal realm is not straightforward.

Not only is it difficult to find the god, killing them, be it their main bodies or avatars, will only be a temporary victory that will have little effect on the progress of the religious war. No matter what they do, unless they kill the Oracles, the gods won't die and their religion won't suffer much.

Killing their avatars is even more of a waste because they won't even get a temporary death like the ones they get for killing the gods in the divine realm. It is only until they kill all their Oracles in the mortal realm that they can have victory.

The other option is to destroy their altar in the divine realm. But that is even more difficult than finding an oracle that has decided to hide. They can't employ a network of spies like they do to infiltrate the religions of their opponents and find out the location of the oracles.

They don't even know the identity of the god in the divine realm and where they reside. So destroying the divine altar is not an option. They can only rely on their spies.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But spies take time to get useful information. It is why they haven't been able to eliminate the other true gods despite being stronger than them.

The best they have had to settle for is pressuring the god in the mortal realm until they lose too much faith. Their Authority will fall, which will reduce their power and maximum divine energy.

Without faith, they won't be able to replenish their divine energy or create divinity. This way, the survivability of the gods in the divine realm will reduce, and they will lag behind until they are no longer a threat.

They also won't be able to protect their oracles once Legion finds them if they don't have divine energy. Unfortunately, this kind of subtle warfare is slow and needs a large amount of investment in divine energy.

The reason he didn't kill her when he first became a true god was because she was too far away. It didn't seem worth it to go that far, as it required divine energy to maintain his avatar. Plus, his tribe wouldn't be able to assimilate the territory fast enough to prevent someone closer from taking advantage of his work. But now he has to spend the divine energy he didn't want to spend in the first place to go to her territory, and he has to spend it every day just to harass her.

Sure, the distance he needs to cover has diminished greatly now that their territory is close to each other, but the cost in divine energy becomes significant if he has to do so every day.

This time, Legion is spending 8 times that amount because 8 of them are going to attack her at once instead of sending one clone at a time. It is truly a lot of investment in hopes for a quick resolution to the conflict.

Fortunately, all of his efforts have not been fruitless. He has managed to kill one Oracle of every true god. This is mostly thanks to having more than one body. One clone would pursue the oracle while another holds back the god's avatar.

But that's not going to work anymore because the gods have hidden their second Oracle so that they wouldn't be able to find it. That has made spreading their religion slower, which has played into their favor.

Orcs are literally migrating to the territory of the 9 Crowns after hearing of his feats in fighting three false gods. The true gods are barely hanging on. Which is why the two true gods on their right chose to cooperate against the 9 Crowns.

As for the most dangerous goddess on his left side, she too has hidden her second Oracle. But she has something else that he can target. She has the Oracles of the other gods as hostage. She had kept them hidden well. But the gods she is forcing to do her bidding are not of one mind with her.

Hiding their Oracle meant that they couldn't preach and expand their religion. Things were already bad before when their Oracles were hostages and had to preach that she was the one true god and they were her surbodinates.

The orcs were more willing to worship the true god than the subordinate. Now they can't even preach at all because of the harassment of the 9 Crowns. The 9 Crowns was slowly pushing them into a dead end. Something had to be done to end the conflict.

The godlings were so desperate that one of them reached out to Legion through another true god. This traitor exposed the location of their hideout in exchange for the life of his Oracle. Legion took the deal and signed the divine contract to the effect. That's why 8 of them are going together to wipe out their enemies in one fell swoop.

They are very eager to put an end to their troubles, but they are still going to be cautious about how they go ahead with it. It is not even about their usual cautious nature.

Their traitor has informed them that she has created a powerful divine weapon and has brought it to the mortal realm to use it to deal with him. It is truly something to be cautious of.

Even so, they couldn't help but be full of anticipation, both for the upcoming victory and the loot that they might have after their victory.

Legion-1 said, "This better be good. We have brought out most of our firepower for this. It has to be worth it."

Legion-2 said in anticipation, "Anything a true god has planned to use to deal with another true god in the mortal realm has to be good."

Usually only one of the clones descends to attack the other true gods. This is to give them the illusion that the 9 Crowns is one god and only has one occasional ally. But they have to be very serious today, as they can't underestimate a powerful divine weapon.

Fighting amongst gods in the mortal realm is through an exchange of divine spells. That means divinity is almost useless in the mortal realm. Only Authority matters. But she brought out a divine weapon to deal with them. They have to take the divine weapon that can change the dynamics seriously.

They reached the edge of her territory and stopped. They made Legion-9 contact the traitor for an update on the situation. It was an act done through their cautious nature. They didn't expect anything special. But they received more information that increased the severity of the situation.

The traitor just told them that her remaining Oracle has also arrived to use the divine weapon against them.

It made the clones frown. Legion-2 wondered, "What is she planning?"

Legion-3 asked, "Even if she destroys our avatar, it won't affect us apart from the loss of some divine energy. Why would she want to invest so much to get so little in return?"

Legion-2 was wondering the same. He asked, "Something seems fishy about this. Could it be that the traitor is fooling us?"

Legion-1 shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be so. He swore in the divine contract. But it is possible that he has false information or someone is deceiving him."

They asked their angel to confirm the authenticity of the divine contract. It replied, "The divine contract will be enforced by the world based on what it knows. Currently, it knows that the traitor isn't working with your enemy in any way in God's Domain. But the same cannot be said about outside God's Domain."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Legion-2 didn't like that answer, "So it is possible that they are working together to pull one over us."

Legion-4 advised, "Either way, I propose that we take necessary precaution."

They have a lot of reasons to be cautious. On their side is the investment of 100 divine energy to create an avatar. On the other side is the investment of a divine weapon and the life of an oracle.

They can guess what the purpose of the Oracle is for. A divine weapon, especially a very powerful one, cannot be used by mortals. They know that. But an oracle can use it when they are possessed by their god. That will certainly give the true god an advantage over them, but it will also increase the burden on the Oracle and the subsequent loss of lifespan.

So not only is she risking the life of her Oracle, she is willing to expend the oracle's life span to use the divine weapon.

She has invested a lot, but it doesn't make sense to them for her to risk so much because even if she wins, she will only kill their avatar. And if she loses, she will lose her divine weapon and her last remaining Oracle.

The investment and the reward don't appear proportional at all, so it looks like she has a stupid decision. But they don't think she is stupid. She is an Immortal after all. She can't be so stupid as to risk so much for so little. That means there must be something else that is going to gain that they can't see. So they decided to make preparations for their uncertainty.

The 8 of them were flying at 3,000 meters per second. It is almost ten times the speed of sound. It is nowhere the speed they are capable of in the void universe as immortals, but it is exceptional here in God's Domain.

Their passing is silent, as their avatars are invisible to most beings and intangible. Not even air was disturbed in their passing, so they didn't create any signs of their passage or alert their target to their presence. Even so, only one avatar continued along to the site of the hidden Oracles. The rest didn't follow. They decided to stay back and react based on the situation.

Legion-1 was the one who volunteered to go. He has protected himself with the tier 2 divine shield spell. It grants him a defense of 20% of his Authority at the cost of 100 DE.

It is necessary to protect himself because this is not his true body. This avatar can only bare damage of 100, and it doesn't have any divinity, so it doesn't have endurance to resist attacks. That means it can pop with the slightest blow.

The shield around him gave him a slight confidence. Then he moved around to look for the Oracles. He didn't need to look far. They were in huts around a lake hidden in the forest.

He discovered something odd immediately. There were 10 Oracles instead of 8. He can account for the extra one if there are nine. That would be the Oracle of the true god since there ought to be 8 oracles belonging to the 8 godlings that she is controlling forcefully.

He asked himself, "Has she gained the help of another true god or has she subjugated another godling?" Most importantly, why didn't the traitor inform us of this critical information?"

As it is, he can't tell which of the two new Oracles belongs to her, much less identify which one belongs to a true god or a godling. This is a problem that can be solved easily with insight.

But using insight is likely to alert the gods behind the Oracles to his presence. That will give away the element of surprise that he can use to his advantage.

He decided to attack first. After all, if he eliminates them first, then it doesn't matter what god they belong to. As long as they are dead, their threat will be neutralized.

He said to the other clones, "Let's act now."

The other clones won't join him yet. Their job right now is to use a greater miracle to cause the animals in the forest to stampede towards the hut.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The animals will take up the attention of the oracles. Then he will take advantage of them as they are trying to save themselves. Only then will the other clones rush into the ensuing battle. The chaos they will create will surely affect whatever plan she has prepared for them. But no sooner had the clones used their divine spell had one of the oracles sensed it. The eyes of the oracle glowed, and she raised her head in the direction of the clones. It was the direction they had just used a divine spell.

Legion was taken aback. "How did she sense it? This god must have possessed the Oracle for a long time in preparation for this moment, or the Oracle has an ability that is very sensitive to danger and the use of divine spells."

"If it is the first, then this god must have invested a lot waiting for us. If it is the latter, then this oracle must die today."

They were still reeling from the fact that they were discovered the moment they made a move, but that didn't stop Legion-1 from attacking. A divine strike shot forward to kill the oracle. But she blocked it with a raise of her hand.

Legion-1 received a notification.

-You Hit ??? with Divine Strike(2).

-Judgement: Attack Fail.

-Damage: -ohp.

She had cast a divine spell, and her authority was high enough to block his attack completely. But what surprised Legion more was that the hood covering the head of the Oracle fell when they acted. What was displayed was the face of a goblin. It was not an orc.

Legion-1 felt an intuition of danger immediately. "This is not Tempest's Oracle. What is the oracle of a goblin true god doing here?"

The identity of the extra oracle as a goblin confirmed that the oracle didn't belong to Tempest as she is an Orc goddess, not a goblin goddess. This goblin was also able to block his attack, which is something that a mortal can't do, not unless they are possessed by a god with a higher Authority than him.

This means that not only has Tempest gotten the help of another god, she has gotten the help of a goblin god who has more authority than them. This is worrying in itself. But things got worse.

The other new Oracle also lifted her head from her hut and looked at him in the sky. It was an orc Oracle and it was possessed.

She said to him, "I hope you like the secret weapon that I have prepared for you. I put in a lot of effort for it."

He said in realization, "We have been deceived."

It won't be the first time that the wool would be pulled over their eyes so he didn't panic. He wasn't paying attention to Tempest either because she clearly is not the most dangerous enemy here.

The goblin Oracle had risen to the air to face him. It shouldn't be possible for mortals to fly. Even possessed mortals can't do that. Not unless they have a tool for flying with them.

The goblin goddess said to him, "You are very good. You tricked me earlier of 1,000 divinity gold. Who would have thought you would dare to pull a fast one on me? Fortunately, not all orc gods are criminals like you."

The voice that came out of the small goblin oracle was majestic and loud. It was not something a small goblin should be capable of. It is also a voice that they have heard several times before. They heard it just earlier today.

Legion-1 didn't attack the goblin because he knew he couldn't kill her. If he couldn't harm her earlier with his spell, then he wouldn't be able to kill her oracle. He just doesn't have enough Authority to do so on his own.

The best thing to do was to wait and survive the wait. In time, her possession of the Oracle will weaken the goblin and probably lead to its death.

Unfortunately, waiting is not going to be easy for him to do. He can tell that the oracle is very dangerous right now. His intuition can also tell that this danger is related to the spear that the goblin Oracle is holding.

It is an unreasonable feeling that the danger of the spear will lead to catastrophic consequences if he doesn't make himself scarce, so he decided not to wait. He decided to cancel his avatar immediately. His figure began to break apart.

Unfortunately, it will take a second before his avatar can leave the mortal realm completely. That is more than enough time for Crystal Hoard to make her move. The divine weapon she brought for this operation revealed its power.

The spear began to produce light as it turned into a golden spear in her hands. It is so powerful that holding it is enough for a mortal to fly. It was truly worthy of being the reward for being the first Godling.

She threw the spear at Legion-1's receding figure. It turned into a ray of golden light and struck his dissolving body. It didn't penetrate and pass through his body like a normal weapon would. It sank into his avatar as if his avatar were a large pool of water with an unknown depth.

Both Legion-1 and the spear disappeared from the mortal realm. In the divine realm, Legion- 1's body began to glow. First, his eyes lit up with golden light from within. Then his body exploded into golden dust as the golden light became too much for his body to contain.

The golden spear appeared from where he died and flew towards the altar that was trying to resurrect Legion-1. Not only was it not content with killing Legion-1, it also wanted to stop his resurrection.

It all happened so fast. Legion-1 began to produce light and died. Then the golden spear struck the altar and destroyed it. Their altar went up in another explosion, making two explosions that happened in a short amount of time.

It was too late to stop either explosion. They didn't even know that it was possible. They might not have even seen what killed Legion-1 and destroyed their altar if not for the fact that it turned on another clone and tried to kill it.

The golden spear turned on Legion-9 and shot towards him. It was because he was the closest to the altar since he was busy trying to forge earlier. However, he wasn't like Legion-1. He was very angry and not as defenseless as Legion-1.

The golden spear was still fast, but he was prepared for it. Its current attack came from outside, not from within Legion-9, so he was able to cast divine hold on it. The spear stopped moving immediately.

This stasis was shortlived because the spear struggled intensely and managed to break free after a second. Legion-9 had to cast another divine hold at 100 DE on it. This wasn't going to hold it permanently, as it was still struggling. But it kept it from moving enough for him to use insight on it to determine what he was dealing with.

(Name: Golden Light)

(Type: God-Killing Weapon)

(Tier 4 (Evolvable): 0/100,000,000)

(Attack Power: 90% of Authority)

(Ability: Destroys the body, avatar, and altar of a god as long as a target dies to this weapon.) (Description: This is a weapon for killing gods. If you can kill a god once with this weapon, you don't need to fight them again to kill them again)

Legion-9 frowned and said to the angel, "You didn't tell us this kind of weapon existed."

It shrugged its little shoulders and said, "I didn't know it existed until now." I am just a subprogram. What I know is dependent on what you know."

He sighed in frustration and asked, "How do we deal with something like this?"

It was about to shrug again, but Legion-9 cut it off and said in anger, "Don't tell me you don't know."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

It nodded and said, "I don't have any idea."

It giggled at its clever trick while Legion-9 scowled with enough intensity to cook the little vermin. Unfortunately, his scowling was in the void universe. His puppet body in God's Domain remaimed stoic as if he wasn't frustrated by the lack of help from the angel. Meanwhile, Crystal Hoarder was waiting in the mortal realm for her spear to return. Her Oracle has descended to the ground without the God killer spear to keep it levitating.

She said triumphantly to Tempest, "What did I tell you? It was as easy as picking fruits." Tempest only nodded uneasily while thinking to herself, "He forced me. We didn't have to come to this."
