GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1920: Sea Of Gods.
Chapter 1920: Sea Of Gods.
There are three other versions of these five towers in the other divine realms, which would grant double the boost for each subsequent one they gain control of for a total of an 80% boost.
As if that is not enough reasons to cause a war between realms, if a Pantheon gains control of every tower in their realm, the boost to each stat will increase to 100%.
This made Legion begin to have an explanation for how the gods of the last era fell to the titans despite being so powerful. It also reminded them of how the ancient titans managed to wake up in this era.
The gods were fighting amongst themselves, which gave the divine beasts the opportunity to kill them and feed on them. This caused the ancient titans to awaken earlier than expected.
Now the Tower of Realms has appeared to cause a rift amongst the gods. They suspect that the gods of the last era were always fighting amongst themselves and became too weak to defeat the titans.
They are not the only gods that have come to this conclusion. Many gods have reached this conclusion too. Many of them have also decided that fighting each other for the Tower of Realms is a bad idea. Unfortunately, this is not going to stop them from going after each other.
Unless they can convince everyone to ignore the Tower of Realms, there will be some who will fight for the towers and gain control of them. Those ones will gain power, which they will use to make things difficult for everyone else.
So unless they wanted to be stepped on, they can't stay out of the fight. Plus, there is the matter of 9 Crowns and the Orc Bandits. Not many gods were willing to stand back and watch as these wildly hated orcs gained more power.
The gods were already arrayed around the tower of their choice by the time the towers began to glow. Their figures formed a sea around each tower.
These seas were of different sizes. Two particular seas were bigger than the other three. It is because most of the gods had chosen either the tower of Authority or that of Domain.
The tower of Authority is attractive because Authority is most versatile. Authority affects the power of all divine spells, so the boost from the Tower of Authority will be all-encompassing. Besides, the Authority attribute can be increased without limit. So a 10% boost to it is better than a 10% boost to strength, speed, and endurance which are limited.
As for the Tower of Domains, the boost to world power it will offer is more attractive than the boost to other physical attributes because world power can also be used in the mortal realm.
In the current era of fighting for kingdoms in order to carve out a nation for their believers and become national gods, the power that gods can wield in the mortal realm has become very attractive.
Plus, the gods don't have to use divine energy to use world power. It is free power from the world, which makes it more attractive than divine spells.
But it is only more attractive than divine spells. World power is not more useful or more powerful than divine spells and Authority. So the Tower of Authority has the most amount of gods around it.
Legion was among the sea of gods standing around the Tower of Authority. They were not lacking in world power or Authority, but Authority is their largest attribute, so a boost to it will be better than a boost to anything else.
The sea of gods was arranged according to their pantheon. Gods of the same pantheon stood together while their god kings stood in front of them.
The pantheons then formed into a circle around the tower with their god king close to the tower. They were all waiting patiently for the tower to open.
There wasn't enough space in this circle for every pantheon, so some pantheons had to stand behind other pantheons. The god kings of these weak pantheons had to watch the tower from behind the gods of the strong pantheons.
Their angel said to them as they waited, "Things were not supposed to be like this. The gods were supposed to be evenly distributed amongst the towers."
Legion-1 asked, "Why would the gods do something so unfavorable? The Tower of Authority is obviously the best choice here. Going to any other tower will only be the right choice for the weak."
It replied, "Because going to the other towers won't be unfavorable. If the towers had appeared much later in the future, the gods would have evolved to the stage where there wouldn't be a limit on the gods strength, speed, and endurance."
"Those attributes will be just like Authority in that they will be limitless. So even though the gods would be able to use all of their Authority, and Authority will still be more versatile, Strength, Speed, and Endurance will be just as attractive."
"But the Tower of Realms appeared too early. All the powerful gods want the boost to Authority. This is just wrong."
Legion-1 exclaimed, "Oh. I see."
Then he nodded in agreement. "You are right. It is indeed bad that the towers have come early. Because of it, we are going to be up against 40% of gods instead of 20%."
The angel chuckled and said, "I'm not sure that only 20% of gods would come after Authority even if the other attributes are equally attractive. I suspect that many gods will come after any tower that you choose, regardless of how attractive it is."
He smiled and said, "That's true."
Not every god and pantheon in the Northern Divine Realm has decided to join the struggle for the Tower of Realms. But of those who have decided to fight for the towers, about 40% of them are vying for the Tower of Authority.
The Tower of Authority is the most popular, while 30% of the gods are vying for the Tower of Domains. The remaining 30% are evenly distributed among the remaining three towers.
