Chapter 1906: Troublesome Enemies.
There were also other divine beings at the scene. There were the avatars of gods. There were three of them besieging the divine calamity.
These avatars didn't have the inspiring might of the avatar of the 9 crowns in the perception of mages. They also couldn't fly, but they were still dishing out massive spells that created earth-shaking explosions.
Each spell was like a nuke. The explosions were so bright and powerful that they cratered the fur of the divine calamity and caused icy blood fire to pour out of it.
These three were the major damage dealers while the humans swarmed the zephyro with ranged damage. There was no communication between them. The gods did their thing, and the mortals struggled to keep up with them and not get blown up by the spells of the gods.
The Zephyro was no slouch either. It swung its tail with such speed that even the gods couldn't keep track of. Its tail was equipped with a stinger at the end of it, which it used to puncture anything it could reach.
It was able to destroy the three avatars in quick succession. More avatars came, but it killed any avatar that descended to fight it.
This quick dispatch of the gods meant that even though the gods were very powerful, they were rarely given time to do much damage. It was up to the weak humans who couldn't all be killed quickly and were capable of resurrecting to kill it.
The three heroes of the 9 Crowns joined the battle after taking stock of the situation. One sword disappeared in a flash of his sword while Black Knife simply disappeared.
Tempest stayed back and raised her hands to the sky. She muttered words of magic and power that invoked a storm.
Clouds formed in the sky. Lightning surged between the clouds and from them to the ground. Some of the lightning struck people or the divine calamity. Either way, they lit up the night and created thunderclaps with each strike.
Wind and water descended from the cloud in a deluge of a storm. They struck everyone close to the divine calamity. But it was especially effective against the creature of fire and ice.
Her spell and those of tens of thousands of other mages struck the divine calamity again and again. It was a never-ending cycle of destruction that did very little damage to the divine calamity but became significant over time.
The physical attacks were also relentless. The sheer number of attacks was enough to drown any mortal creature, even if they are more than 50 meters tall. But the divine calamity refused to go down. It continued to rampage.
The Zephyro killed mortals and gods alike. One hit was enough for it to kill anyone. Unfortunately, some of its enemies couldn't be defeated.
It could kill these enemies easily, but they didn't remain dead for long and would always return to trouble it. These enemies were also in possession of divine weapons that could damage it significantly.
Plus, some divine avatars showed up once in a while to deal catastrophic damage to it. It would manage to send them off but not for long. The avatars would always return. Meanwhile, the Zephyrp couldn't heal and recover its strength when the avatars had been dispatched because of the mortals troubling it. It would have to deal with them only for more avatars to come.
This cycle continued until they ground the Zephyro down. It took 5 days of fighting for it to die.
The great beast of fire and ice roared one last time. Then its great body crashed to the ground and broke apart into motes of light. The humans celebrated over the victory. Then they fought each other for the loot.
Runes had already gone to the heroes based on how much damage they dealt to the divine calamity. But the divine crystals that the scorpion left behind could be taken by anyone.
There was no disagreement about how to share the divine crystals. How could there be a disagreement when they didn't even bother to agree? They simply turned their blades on each other in order to lay claim to the divine crystals.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Divine crystals are the most important currency in God's Domain to both the normal inhabitants and otherworlders. They were very rare, so each sighting was a great cause for
war.
The indigenous people and the players didn't have inventory, so they had to hold the divine crystals in their hands to keep them. This caused the wrath of thousands of others to fall on whoever was in possession of a divine crystal.
Most of the heroes didn't need divine crystals, but they weren't going to give up on it easily. Especially not when the fight could make them stronger. Some of the heroes didn't even bother with the divine crystals. They just attacked anyone else that wasn't a hero.
This caused a rift to appear between the normal otherworlders and heroes. They were all players, but the heroes were privileged and proud. The normal players became bitter as they were killed by the heroes.
Most of the normal players gave up when they realized they stood no chance. But some remained stubborn in their endeavor for divine crystals. They were rewarded with death and a loss of half of their stats.
Eventually the divine crystals fell into the hands of the heroes. It was then that some otherworlders approached them to hold an auction. Some heroes agreed, so a great auction was held.
The otherworlders celebrated with a party. They chatted amongst themselves and caught up with the general state of affairs of the conditions of otherworlders in God's Domain.
Taylor was approached during the party by a group of otherworlders. They claimed they had an interesting proposition for him.
Their leader said to him, "We have found a way to kill gods."
Taylor laughed. He looked at his drink and said, "This thing must be stronger than I thought. I actually thought you said you had found a way to kill gods."
