GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2371: Ultimatum.

The two rebellious divine flesh have created projections of her divine form that want to escape from her body. The worst part of their attempt is that they are consuming her spiritual energy to exist.

So every moment they struggle to escape, they consume her spiritual energy and weaken her. Not only can’t she use the divine abilities of the two rebellious divine flesh, but she also will have reduced spiritual energy to use the divine abilities of the other six divine flesh.

To make matters worse, if she runs out of spiritual energy, the projections will collapse. Then her soul will follow in collapsing.

So she needs constant external supply of spiritual energy or her rebellious divine flesh will drain her till she dies. This is why she needs the support of the city and the energy water from the spirit spring to keep fighting.

She doesn’t have the energy spring anymore. But the city is still here and the nobles are still rich and powerful. So something can be done to rectify the lack of an energy spring, such as stealing from another city.

But she won’t have that option if the entire city is destroyed. The foundation that the noble families have built over many years and generations will be gone if Reinfield is destroyed. She cannot allow this to happen.

So she said to them, “I am currently fighting a battle for my life. If I lose this battle, my injuries could range from regressing in rank to dying or losing control as the soul in which my consciousness resides becomes incapable of suppressing my divine flesh and their projections.”

“I am currently at my limit and cannot fight. But if you push me too far, I will willingly surrender my consciousness to my projections and lose control.”

“If I lose control, everyone will pay the price. Everyone will lose something, and there will be nothing to gain.”

She became silent as she waited for everyone listening to digest her information.

She didn’t come out to fight. What she came out to do is threaten whoever the enemies are with mutual destruction.

She didn’t want to fight and didn’t even want to come out to speak with people. But at this point, she must come out to dissuade the attackers from pressuring her or she will have to fight.

After waiting, she resumed speaking. “I know that some of you don’t believe that I will willingly lose control, but I will if I have nothing else to lose.”

“I don’t want to lose control. That is true. But it is also true that you don’t want me to lose control either. So why don’t we stop all of this fighting now before things go past the point of no return?”

She made a lot of sense. But Legion had the rank 6 danger sense divine ability of the pathway of undying and could sense that danger was fast approaching.

Their fate weaver and traveler slave could also sense the danger. So it was confirmed that they were not hallucinating.

The source of the danger was great. The only time they had sensed something like it was when four red lightning had appeared from the burning corpse of four burning vine plants. So they knew that the danger was great.

In order to resolve the danger, they took out the cursed vessel that they had prepared in advance. Then threw it at the rank 8 demigod.

The cursed vessel was a small ceramic ball. It was light, so they were able to throw it at a fast speed with their great strength.

The cursed vessel tore through the air towards the rank 8 demigod. But despite how frail she looked, she was still strong enough to grab the ceramic and crush it.

Then she asked Legion, “What is this supposed to mean?”

She and the other nobles hadn’t sensed the danger quickly approaching them. They also didn’t sense the danger from the ceramic ball.

When the ceramic ball broke, the curse within it was unleashed on the demigod. The curse destroyed her luck and made her fate steeped in extreme bad luck.

Bad luck is normally harmless to godclads. But when the existence of a godclad is balancing on the edge of losing control, bad luck might just be the final straw that broke the camel’s back.

Just as she asked that question, she frowned because she sensed something wrong with her body. Then her face contorted in pain as one more projection appeared on her body.

She roared in anger, “I thought we had a deal. I will help you find the real god of nobles or kill the imposter currently acting like him.”

This was the deal she had made with the rioting divine flesh in her body. But for some reason, the divine flesh that had been placated refused to accept the deal and wanted to leave her body again.

Three rebellious projections quickly became four. Then four rioting projections became five. Soon it was five rioting projections.

The remaining three projections didn’t riot because they had souls to latch onto. They didn’t need to contend with her main body for control.

She has four souls within her. One contained her consciousness, while the other three were assigned to her most powerful divine abilities so that she would be able to use them.

In her current state, she can’t use the divine abilities belonging to the five rioting divine flesh. What’s worse is that they are draining her spiritual energy very quickly and also fighting her for control over her body.

It was at this time that a large red tiger made of red vines suddenly appeared above the city.

The red tiger had two black horns on its head that looked like two curved blades. It didn’t have any eyes, but everyone could still feel its gaze scan everything beneath it.

It was looking at every living thing as if it wanted to skin them. But there was something else present that was far more dangerous than its gaze.
