GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2612: Weakness Of Knowledge.

His plan failed, but the god of history and seers wasn’t totally helpless against the god of knowledge. In fact, he was aware of one fatal weakness of the pathway of knowledge and had the means to take advantage of this weakness.

He had been biding his time to use this weakness because he didn’t want to use it prematurely. Now that he was in a desperate situation, he had no choice but to use it. So he activated the Sight Control divine ability and took away the sense of sight of the god of knowledge.

The sense of sight and perhaps the most important sense of the godclads of knowledge. Without it, they won’t be able to use many of their divine abilities.

The loss of the sense of sight plunged the god of knowledge into a world of darkness. He couldn’t see anymore, so he couldn’t use the Analyze divine ability anymore.

Since he couldn’t use the Analyze divine ability anymore, he couldn’t acquire new information to learn and deduce. This effectively cut off the path of growth of his Leverage of knowledge ultimate ability, and the growing power of the Knowledge Base divine ability.

Not only that, without his sight, he won’t be able to see and react to the next moves of the god of history and his other enemies. So not only did his growing advantage end, but he was also placed at a disadvantage.

The god of knowledge could still think, so he could still come up with a solution. What he decided to do was to use the rank 9 Knowledge Obscuration divine ability to target the Sight Control divine ability and use the rank 4 Analyze divine ability together with his rank 10 Replication divine ability to come up with a solution.

The god of knowledge knew about this weakness, so he already had a solution for it. The first part of his plan is to make the god of history forget about the Sight Control divine ability.

He wanted the god of history to forget about the Sight Control divine ability in hopes that the god of history would stop using the divine ability now, and to prevent the god of history from using this divine ability once he comes up with a solution.

The Knowledge Obscuration divine ability didn’t work on the mind of the god of history, though. This was because the god of history could never forget something that had happened before. This was a benefit of the rank 1 Historian divine ability.

The Knowledge Obscuration divine ability would have worked on a godling of history, but it could never work on the god of history. So the god of history didn’t forget that he possessed the Sight Control divine ability and was able to maintain it.

However, this wasn’t the true solution to the problem that the god of knowledge had planned. The true solution to the problem was to use the Mental Probe divine ability of the pathway of telepathy.

The passive effect of the Mental Probe divine ability allows telepaths to see the minds of others without the need for their eyes. The active effect of the Mental Probe divine ability is to make contact and touch the minds of others.

When this Mental Probe divine ability is used together with the Analyze divine ability, the god of knowledge can now analyze the minds of his enemies and read their thoughts. This helped him to bypass the loss of his eyesight.

This solution helped him regain the advantage of his Leverage of Knowledge ultimate ability and the Knowledge Base divine ability. The more he learned about his enemies, the stronger he became.

But as usual, he didn’t stop there. It is not his way of life to maintain the status quo in a fight. He is always trying to push for more advantages, so he also uses the rank 6 Knowledge Barrage divine ability.

The Knowledge Barrage divine ability is perhaps the only offensive divine ability of godclads of knowledge. The Array Forging divine ability can be used to create offensive arrays, but it can’t be used to attack directly.

Only the god of knowledge has been able to use the Array Forging divine ability to attack directly. Even then, he had to use it in conjunction with his Replication divine ability.

He could create many arrays to replicate many attacks at the same time, which helped him overcome the weakness of the Replication divine ability not being able to replicate more than one divine ability or skill at a time.

However, the Knowledge Barrage divine ability is a pure attack divine ability. It works by pouring a vast amount of information into the minds of his enemies.

The immediate effect of the Knowledge Barrage divine ability is to disorient the target of the divine ability. But its goal is to wear down and break the mind of the target.

The fact that the god of knowledge had used the Mental Probe divine ability together with the Knowledge Barrage divine ability only made it more potent. Those who were targeted by the divine ability became sluggish and unable to think about attacking.

The effect of the divine ability even affected the true body of the summons. The god of fate stumbled in her hunt for the god of luck.

She briefly considered using her ultimate ability to bring down the god of knowledge for good. But she gave up on the idea because it would require her to pay a heavy price.

She wasn’t willing to pay such a price since she recently paid it against the god of death, and since she was hunting the god of luck and might need to pay the price soon. So she held back from doing her best to kill the god of knowledge.

The other gods that were summoned to help the god of history also didn’t do their best. Legion also didn’t do their best with their summons. But they had a much more important reason for doing so.
