GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1770: The Two Foundations.

Only the core of the altar didn't require them to be godlings to purchase. It cost them 1,000 divine crystals to buy the core.

The core of the altar was a cube. It was black with golden runes on its surface. They took it to the hotel where Legion-3 was waiting for them. It is where they have decided to set it up.

The altar can be set up anywhere in the divine realm. But it is important that it is set up somewhere safe, as enemies will try to destroy it to cripple the foundation of the god it belongs to.

The altar will be their foundation in the divine realm, while their Oracles will be their connection to the mortal realm. Together they form a connection that will allow a god seed to receive faith and offerings on their own. Together, they form the weak link of gods. So they need to be protected.

Just like divine orbs, they can't put their altar in their inventory. The best they can do is carry it around in their hands or hide it somewhere. Wherever they hide, it is important because it is where they will respawn when they die.

The only place they know that has that kind of protection is the hotel in Gemmis. It is in the divine city, which means no one can attack it. The hotel is a secure place, so no one will steal it. It will cost them 1% of their total divinity every day for each room, though.

1% of their total divinity is undoubtedly expensive to keep things in the hotel. That means they will pay their total divinity in 100 days of renting the room.

Right now, 1% is just 10 divinity, but it will increase in the future. Some god seeds currently don't even have a total of 10 divinity in their divine bodies. But they can afford it.

They are very rich, thanks to the generous donations of many god seeds. Besides, there's 9 of them. So they are only paying a little over 1 divinity each per day because all 9 of them count as one. That is a bargain price for total protection.

The clones entered the large building. Then their angel helped them perform the registration. They were teleported into their room as soon as they paid the fees.

Legion-1 said in appreciation, "We are really getting our money's worth out of this. No one will know what room we are staying in, so they won't be able to track us. They will only know that we keep our altar in the hotel and that we can afford the fees."

The room is very large. They can't actually see the ends of it. Only the part they are occupying is illuminated, but they can see beyond the darkness around them to know that the room is limitless.

They are liking the hotel more and more. The teleportation will also cover the fact they are all using one altar since no one will know their destination.

"Let us begin."

Legion-2 held the black cube and activated it. He received a notification.

-Consume 100 Divinity to activate?

-Yes or No?

He selected yes. The golden runes began to glow. But then he received another notification. -Altar core activated.

-Consume 100 mortal souls, 100 mortal gold and 10,000 divine crystals to build?

-Yes or No?

They didn't have much of a choice so he selected yes again. The materials were pulled out of his inventory and consumed by the black cube. This made it expand in his hands.

It expanded rapidly, so it soon became too heavy to hold on one hand. So placed it on the ground. It finally grew to be 3 meters by 3 meters. It looked like a black boulder that had been carved into a cube and decorated with golden runes and gems.

Legion-2 chuckled and said, "I don't think anyone will be carrying this around. It is too large and too heavy."

Legion-3 agreed, "Not if they don't want everyone to swarm them."

Legion-7 asked their angel, "Can something be done about its size?"

The angel replied, "The altar can be reduced in size but its weight will remain constant. A god will need about 1,000 divinity in their strength to be able to carry it without stress."

They received a notification while they mulled over that information.

-Congratulations for building your altar.

-You have become a godling.

-You connection with the mortal realm has strengthened and your place in God's Domain has been secured.

-Congratulations! You have completed the main quest. You can become a true god now.

-You have completed the side quest. You will have a free pick of heroes.

The first thing they noticed after the altar began working was that they could now see through Warshaw's eyes and experience everything happening to her. It was as if they were in her head. She noticed their presence in her mind and bowed in respect.

All of Legion was impressed. Legion-3 said, "With this we won't need to sit by the altar all day long to communicate with our Oracles. I can finally let loose myself. Not bad at all." The other clones chuckled at that. The strengthened connection to the mortal realm is just the least of what has put them in a good mood. Not only did they make it to the top 1,000,000 godlings, they also made it to the top 100.

That last part is the most valuable one. They don't know what heroes are, but they are looking forward to it.

They received even more notifications.

---QUEST RECEIVED.

(Main Quest 1: Become A True God)

(Main Quest 2: Chose A Hero)

-Check Your Altar For More Information.

Then a regional announcement appeared soon after.

-Regional Announcement.

-Congratulations to 9 Crowns for being the 33rd Godling in the Northern Realm.

Legion-5 waved away the notifications and said with anticipation, "Let us see what this altar can do."
