GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2578: Inherited Strength And Weakness.

The god of nobles laughed sinisterly and said, “Since you want to be the god of justice so desperately, prepare to take on his burdens. Prepare to take on his strengths and weaknesses.”

As he spoke, he looked down below to see what the mortals were up to. What he saw was that the lamp bearers and judges of the pathway of justice are still attacking the people of his kingdom.

The believers of the god of justice don’t know what happened between the gods, so they don’t know that the real god of justice is now dead.

Even if someone tells them that the god of justice is dead, they won’t believe it because they can still sense their god. The fact that the subordinate gods of the god of justice are still alive also proves beyond every doubt that the god of justice didn’t die.

The subordinate gods of the god of justice should have died when the god of justice died because their existence is tied to his. But since the scheme of the god of crime and error worked so well, it was as if the god of justice had never been killed.

The good thing about the success of this scheme is that the god of crime and error has now become the god of crime, error, justice, and knights. The only bad thing that the god of nobles can point out to them is that the god of crime, error, justice, and knights is now a god that relies on faith.

The god of crime and error never relied on faith for power. But now that he has taken over the identity of the god of justice, he has become a god who relies on faith and has acquired the weakness of relying on faith.

Relying on faith is not a decision that a god can come back from. If they lose their faith, they will lose artificial souls, which will make the divinity in their remaining souls too much for them. This will lead to corruption of divinity and the loss of control.

He is too weak to target the god of crime and error, but he is more than strong enough to target the believers of the god of justice. In fact, this new weakness that the god of crime and error has developed might be his only way to bring down the god of crime and error.

The more the god of nobles thought about it, the more his eyes shone with excitement. He decided not to waste time anymore and immediately issued a decree.

He said, “Every mortal believer of the god of justice must catch fire and burn alive.”

He limited the burning to only mortals, but this will still cost him a lot of divine energy because the believers of the god of justice number in the hundreds of millions. But he didn’t care at all.

However, the effect that he was looking forward to didn’t work out. Instead of mortals catching fire everywhere, it was his body that caught fire.

Apparently, his own divine abilities have turned against him. It was a situation that caught him off guard.

He quickly took back the decree to avoid being burned to ashes by his own power. He managed to successfully put out the fire, but his face was blacker and angrier than ever.

He roared in anger, “Fucking Criminal!”

The god of disaster saw this and sighed in defeat. He felt that the god of nobles was doomed, but he didn’t leave yet because the god of fate hadn’t left and was looking at him.

He suspects that if he leaves now, the god of fate will follow him and try to kill him. Since he has been weakened by the two clashes with the god of faith, he is in no condition to resist the god of fate.

So, rather than dying, he chose to stay close to the god of nobles, who can still render help to him. But once his outer bodies heal, he will run away and find another ally.

Meanwhile, the god of nobles was gnashing his teeth. He realized that the god of crime had already made a move against him. But he still wasn’t going to give up on exploiting the weakness of the god of crime.

He said to himself, “Since I can’t attack the god of crime myself, I must employ the help of another god to help me kill his believers. But who can help me?”

The best option for this job is a god who is not afraid of offending the god of crime and is capable of killing a lot of believers quickly in a short amount of time before the god of crime can intervene.

After thinking about his situation and realizing that not many people will be willing to offend a god of four pathways, he suddenly remembered the offer that the god of telepathy had made to him.

He didn’t think he could ask the god of disaster to anger the god of crime. But he thought that it was a good idea to ask the god of telepathy for help because the god of telepathy had said that he should reach out if he needed help.

The god of telepathy had made that offer right after the scheme of the god of crime and error became exposed and was successfully completed. So it didn’t seem that the god of telepathy was scared of angering the god of crime and error.

After thinking of this, he decided to call out to the god of telepathy for help. He didn’t shout to the sky that he needed help, though. He still had some self respect and intelligence.

He is afraid for his life, but he hasn’t been scared stupid yet. Instead of doing something that will easily alert the god of crime and error to his scheme, he did something more secretive. He sent his subordinates to meet with the telepaths and tell them that the god of nobles wanted to meet their god.
