GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1778: Divine Extortion.



The explanation the angel provided was lacking, but Crystal Hoarder was satisfied with it. The situation was very clear to her. Here she is pushing a cart of divine orbs when someone else became a true god.

It is obvious that if she had been earlier by a few minutes, she would have reached Gemmis earlier and become a true god. Now she has to go about looking for a true god out of the tens of thousands in the divine city. It is like searching for a needle in a haystack, but Crystal Board didn't complain about that.

She knew what she did and where it had led her. But that doesn't mean she will accept her lot so easily. That has never been her choice. She has always had her way. She doesn't want this situation to be any different, so she is not going to accept things as they are.

She nodded and said, "Good. I will find them and take back what's rightfully mine."

Being first or second wouldn't matter to her if she didn't know about the hidden reward that she got for being the first godling. That reward is what she cares about, and she is determined to get it back from the god that stole it from her.

Her reward can be taken or exchanged with others, so she expects theirs to be the same. All she needs to do is find them. Then she will use any means possible to get back that reward.

But first she continued on her way to her altar to become a true god. She has rented a room in a hotel there where she can be safe to perform the evolution.

She can't underestimate a true god, even if she can find them. Especially not the first of millions of god seeds to become a true god. That would be folly on her part. It would be extra folly if the reward this true god acquired is something dangerous.

No, she would do the smart thing by becoming a true god first. Then she would use all the divine orbs she has acquired to restore her strength to a certain level. Only then will she have the confidence in fighting and claiming the reward.

Soon another notification was heard in the Northern Realm.

-Regional Announcement.

-Congratulations to Crystal Hoarder for being the 2nd True God.

She gained the ability to create a Pantheon and to use the global communication system after becoming a true god. She noticed that there wasn't a Pantheon yet, so she created one so as to be the first.

-Determine the name of the Pantheon.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

She did so.

-Consume 10,000 Divinity to create the Crystal Hoard Pantheon?

-Yes or No?

She raored with dissatisfaction, "10,000 divinity? Is that too expensive?"

Her angel shrugged and said, "I don't make the rules."

She doesn't have 10,000 divinity after raising her level to 100 again. That had cost her 10,000 divinity, to be exact. But she wants to be the first true god to create a Pantheon, so she wasn't willing to give up.

"I bet the 9 Crowns don't have 10,000 divinity either. They are probably out hunting right now. I might be able to catch them if I am lucky."

Her angel advised, "The 9 Crowns might not be present in your divine city. They might be at the other 9 divine cities, so you might be disappointed."

"I know. That's why I said I might be able to catch them if I am lucky."

Her dour angel couldn't douse her enthusiasm. She went out immediately to hunt while looking for signs of a true god.

Unfortunately, she had no luck with the latter. As for the former, she was very successful at it. With ten times the divinity, she was able to bully godlings easily and take their divinity for herself.

Things might have been difficult for her if she were a level o true god, but she wasn't. She was able to get the 10,000 divinity she needed quickly and return to her altar to create her pantheon.

She was happy to find out that a Pantheon still hadn't been created, even after so long. She felt lucky about it, so she gritted her teeth and made the decision to invest the same amount of divinity in her level 100 true god divine body into making a Pantheon.

Thus, her pantheon, the Crystal Hoard, was created. Unfortunately, there was no announcement and no reward. It made her disappointed and very angry. It was with this great anger that she tried the global communication system.

The global communication system is a system that allows long distance communication between godlings and true gods. It can only be used by those with altars, so there are few people she could talk to. Fortunately, the only person she wants to talk to right now is accessible.

She went to the ranking list and selected the person's identity. Then she sent a request for an open channel. She didn't wait long before the request was accepted.

A voice came from the other side of the channel and appeared through her altar asking, "What do you want?"

She was a little dissatisfied that the person only allowed for a temporary audio communication, not an audiovisual one where she could see the appearance of the other party and their location. But she still replied imperiously, "I am the Crystal Hoarder. Need I say more?"

"I am the 9 Crowns. I'm guessing that's all you need to know too."

Her anger exploded immediately. She asked with a roar, "Are you toying with me? Do you know who I am? I am a fearsome dragon. You will bow to me and offer me your precious things."

A scoff came from the other side. "So it is a dragon. I have killed many of them. In fact, dragons are terrified of my name."

She laughed, "You dare lie to my face? Dragons are terrified of no one. We are the greatest and strongest."
