Chapter 1261 How To Hunt A God Discreetly.
About 3 of the mechanical soldiers are needed to match a real titan of law. Fortunately, he has more than 10,000 of them so he can hold back even Sovereigns of law.
If they were golems, then they could be strengthened until they had enough defense to withstand blows from Sovereigns. Several golems of the highest tier can even beat back a Sovereign one-on-one.
When Legion-7 thought about the fact that the base, the battlesuits, the golems, and the Supreme pillar at the center of the plane are all parts of what the metal fire, he couldn't help but lament, "This is just a copy of what the metal fire can do. It is too bad that we can't get it. It is not compatible with our objective."
Legion-5 ignored his greed-influenced lamentation. He asked instead, "What's the estimated date for the fusion of the crystal space and the god hunting?"
Legion-7 replied, "The crystal space will take a while. It contains the law of space so it is difficult. The difficulty of fusing consequent divine abilities gets higher so expect at least 2 months. As for the god hunting, it is not easy to spread myself to believers of a single god."
The problem with the god hunting is not the inability of Legion-7 to infect the believers of a single god. The problem is how to limit the spread of the infection to believers of a single god. This problem is mainly because it is nearly impossible to identify the believer of a god at a glance. Legion-7 has to infect their soul first to find out.
That effort is wasting their time. Not only is it difficult, but it can also alert the gods if many of them sense the anomaly as opposed to a single god being hunted. And Legion-7 has to search carefully so that he doesn't spread himself too thin.
So he mainly infected those who go to the churches of a single god and those who pray to that god in their house. They will be able to hunt the god when they have possessed at least 51% of the believers of a god.
51% infection of believers is a tough requirement to meet for god-hunting. After all, gods especially grand gods can have up to a billion believers. That means he will need to infect up to 500 million believers. It is a lot to do while simultaneously fusing the divine abilities within Legion-5.
"This is taking too much time. Maybe I should begin assimilating the two divine abilities I just got."
"The god-hunting plan will take a while. I didn't have this problem when I was alone. I just clashed directly with the god. Those were the good old days. I have gotten sloppy since then. Safety has made me sloppy."
Legion-5 doesn't agree. "There were landed gods so it was easy to do. They didn't have a divine kingdom to protect them. These ones do and they even have a divine plane."
"That is true. The divine plane complicates matter. We can't just go there to fight a god without the others interfering."
Aeternus interjected at that point. "My gift should alleviate some of your problems. We demons are very good at hunting gods."
Legion-5 became excited just thinking about it. "I am looking forward to it. We should be able to get it when Legion-7 finishes with the fusion of the space-surfing divine ability."
Legion-7 asked, "How is your scheme to trick demon kings into coming to you to die going?"
Aeternus replied, "It is going well. A lot of demon kings think they can bully me. I am level 10 now so it is easy to subdue them outright. But I make sure it seems reasonable."
Legion-5 said, "That sounds fun. It sounds better than fighting with overpowered children in an expensive sandbox created with a whole plane."
Aeternus chuckled evilly. "It is fun. The look of despair on their face when they realize that they have walked into a trap is the best part of the experience."
Legion-5 knows this to be true. He has seen the memories and it is thrilling. But it would be better if he were the one to do so. Unfortunately, it won't be fun to bully children compared to bullying ancient demon kings.
He had to mollify himself. "I have things going on here too. Things will really kick up when I gain space surfing. I will be able to create a connection in space that leads to your pocket space so that we can exchange the things I need."
Legion-5 said with expectation, "If this works then I will only need the world seed to acquire the power of a world god."
Aeternus disagreed. "I don't think it will work. I have fused with the Authority of the Celestial Supreme and I have a level-10 demon king Authority but I haven't become a demon god yet. So I don't think quantity can make up for quality."
"What do you suggest?" Legion-5 asked him.
"The problem is that the two items I used had limits that prevented further growth. Even the tree father hasn't become greater than a Celestial despite having access to cosmic energy and has fused with the Authority of the Celestial Supreme. It is why I didn't explode when cosmic energy was infused into my Authority. I just can't go any further without meeting certain requirements. You will need to break that limit. I believe you will need to be an Origin god with a concept before you can break it."
Legion-5 postulated, "You make some sense. Legion-1 exploded because he became stronger without limit. He has reached the limit of origin gods without a supreme law. If I succeed in fusing all my divine abilities into the divine ability of the giants of order then I pair it with the godhood of a great god and the crown of a demon king then I might break that limit by creating the potential for the limitless cosmic energy to funnel into."
