GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2596: Deeper And Deeper.

The god of crime and error doesn’t intend to sabotage the plans of the god of travelers or be a nuisance to the god of travelers. He plans to kill the god of travelers once and for all.

Since he should be done with his breakthrough in a few days and his power will officially become four times stronger as a high god of one pathway, it is likely that the god of travelers will die in a few days.

On the other side, Legion was in a good mood. Not even the suspicious actions of the god who helped them repel the god of crime and the god of seers, who helped them kill the god of nobles, were enough to put them in a bad mood.

They can’t be in a bad mood after gaining tangible benefits that can make them stronger. Even if they were in a bad mood, the fact that there is still another authority out there for them to get is enough to raise their mood.

When they were killing the god of nobles, they absorbed all of his memories and were able to use them to find where the god of nobles had hidden the authority of the pathway of slavery. So while they were securing the Crown of Nobility, they had quickly sent another virtual body to get the authority of the pathway of slavery.

The god of nobles had hidden the authority of the pathway of nobles in the spiritual dimension. He hid it in a remote corner and buried it, so it couldn’t be easily found.

The god of nobles has also used the power of his domain to hide the authority of the pathway of slavery by creating a barrier around it to protect it from any disturbance. That barrier also digs the soil beneath the authority of slavery and makes it go deeper into the ground.

So thanks to the arrangements of the god of nobles, the authority of slavery will be deeper than its initially buried depth. But that barrier has disappeared now that the god of nobles is dead.

The virtual body quickly reached the location of the authority of the pathway of slavery and began digging it up from the ground. The virtual body used his large hands to scoop up dirt until he reached the bottom of the pit, where his prize lay.

Despite working their hardest, it still took them a long time to reach the bottom of the pit. This was because the pit was very deep.

By the time they finished digging up the authority of slavery, more than a day had gone by. Even the Crown of Nobility had been received by their true body in the Mindscape for more than a day.

This made Legion-11 complain, saying, “Did he want to dig to the bottom of the world just to hide something he couldn’t use? Serves him right for dying so unjustly.”

Before they got here, they knew that the pit was going to be deep. But they didn’t expect it to be this deep. It made them frustrated, so they cursed the god of nobles for a long time.

Legion-2 said to the others, “I just hope that after all of this work, we will find the authority of slavery at the bottom. If, for some reason or another, it isn’t there and we have wasted our time for nothing, I will become angry enough to wipe out every living thing in the world.”

Killing every living thing, including humans, will surely anger a lot of gods, especially the gods who rely on faith. The gods who rely on faith will think that Legion is targeting them and will certainly try to stop Legion from killing everyone.

But just like Legion-2, they will be too angry to care about anything and would want to kill every living thing, so that everyone, be they god or mortal, will suffer the same pain they went through.

Fortunately, their worst fears didn’t come to pass. After digging for more than a day, they were able to find what they had been looking for.

Once the authority of slavery was exposed, Legion was able to get a good look at it. What they saw was a large black worm. It looked extremely similar to their mark of slavery.

The mark of slavery is a phantom construct made of energy, while the authority of slavery is a physical object. The mark of slavery is also a long, barbed black snake, but the authority is a black and fat worm.

When they saw the appearance of the authority of slavery, they couldn’t believe that this was the thing responsible for the death of so many powerful people.

Legion-3 said in confusion, “Isn’t this just a fat worm? What makes it so dangerous?”

Legion-6 replied with anticipation in his voice, “I guess we will find out very soon.”

Legion-10 said in agreement, “Seeing is believing. Once we see for ourselves, we will know what’s problematic about it.”

They’ve heard that many people were killed by this thing, but they were not afraid. This was because they were confident of their strength and because they didn’t sense any danger from the fat worm. So they immediately made the virtual body reach out to touch the black fat worm.

The god of knowledge told them that they have two ways to gain control of the authority of the pathway of slavery. The first method requires their divine body of slavery, which is something they don’t have access to right now.

This leaves the second method as the only way to control the authority of slavery. This method requires them to use a powerful mental ability to fuse with the fat worm. Since their most powerful mental ability is their Roaming ultimate ability, they decided to use the virtual body to fuse with it.

Once their virtual body touched the fat worm, it sank into it. Their giant virtual body shrank and was quickly absorbed by the fat worm. Then they lost control of the virtual body immediately.
