Chapter 1897: God's Fall.
Legion-5 shrugged and said, "We just have to make sure they lose something too. That way, we might lose the battle, but we will surely win the war."
Legion-3 wasn't completely accepting of their impending loss to their mortal army, but there was nothing they could do to turn the tide.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
So he said, "5 domain gods is not too bad for the lives of 200,000 mortals. I just have to make sure that their death is worth it."
He is the one with Golden Light. Unlike the divine realm, their inventory doesn't work here. So they had to bestow the divine weapon to the mortal realm in advance, and only one of them can use it.
He is the one they chose to make the domain gods pay for the lives of orcs that will be lost. As for the rest of the clones, their job is to resume what Legion-1 started.
So all of them flew in the direction of the capital. They didn't go to rescue the orcs that were being massacred because that is a foolish decision.
First of all, this is not the divine realm; any death to the avatars won't affect the gods. Not unless they use golden light. The gods will just keep coming if killed. But even with golden light, they surely can't track down and kill almost the 200 gods.
Even if they can kill the gods permanently without golden light, the five of them are too few to kill that many gods who have scattered themselves.
It might be possible to fight back this many gods if they had the help of their pantheon. But they don't. So the smart thing to do is to achieve the very thing their enemies don't want them to achieve.
They soon reached the capital city. The five Domain gods were waiting for them. The two sides spotted each other from afar and began making preparations for the encounter or finalizing the plans they had made.
On the side of the human gods, 5 more domain gods descended to the capital. The ten of them took out the god-killing weapon that they had prepared for the encounter.
(Name: God's Fall)
(Tier 2 Consumable)
(Power: 500,000 Divinity)
(Ability: Will drag down the divine body of a god down to the mortal realm through their avatar and weaken them)
(Description: A consumable that is necessary if one aims to turn the use of avatars against a god and kill them)
God's Fall are spears just like Golden Light. But they don't shine like golden light. They also don't kill gods and are one-time-use items. But they are still dangerous to a god, as it will make them fall to the mortal realm and weaken them.
The duration of this effect is dependent on how much divinity was invested in the making of the God's fall weapon and the power of the god that it is used against.
In the case of the God's Fall spears that they had prepared, they had used 500,000 divinity to build it. That's five times the amount of divinity in a domain god.
Each spear is very expensive to make, but they invested this much divinity in them because of the possible reward that they might gain from using them in this war.
If they use God's Fall on a god and kill that god when it has fallen to the mortal realm, the god won't be able to resurrect anytime soon. That means they will have free rein to destroy their mortal forces, their priests, and their oracles.
That is what they have planned for the 9 Crowns and his helpers. They bought the information about the last time some people tried to overwhelm the 9 Crowns in the mortal realm and learned from their failure.
So they know about the Golden Light, and they have prepared a counter for it. They can't be on the passive and allow 9 Crowns to dominate them with Golden Light.
They also know about the orc bandits, which is why they prepared more than one Gods Fall for this event. They prepared ten of them. That's five million divinity invested into this attack. God's Fall is not exactly a counter to Golden Light, but it will at least help them to make sure the orc bandits lose something in the upcoming fight too, not just them.
On the other side, Legion used insight and managed to identify that one of the gods was the god of adventure. It made them eager to do battle.
She is the strongest human god, but they were not afraid of her. They were actually happy to see her because a strong domain god like her should have at least two units of domain. That means she will drop at least one unit of domain when they kill her.
The two sides were eager to do battle. They clashed without a word. They didn't use spells. Instead they fought with physical world power.
It is because both sides didn't want to kill each other's avatar with divine spells. They wanted to use their god-killing weapons for it. That's the only way to truly deal a blow to the other
party.
Unfortunately, world power is an area where the Orc Bandits shine. They were outnumbered 2 to 1, but they were the ones with the upper hand.
Not only were they far stronger than their enemies, but they could also share each other's senses and coordinate with one another. It made them more efficient than the others.
The job of four of them was to hold the rest of their enemies back while Legion-3's job was to kill them one by one. The human gods tried to avoid Legion-3, but the other four stuck close to him. So if the human gods will fight the other four, they will put themselves in the range of Legion-3's attack.
That range is pretty large too since Legion-3 can throw Golden Light at incredible speed. So the human gods had to be constantly wary of him.
