Chapter 1849: Two Types of Mistakes.

He expected 9 Crowns Endurance to be far below 100,000 since he should have about 50,000 divinity in Endurance and he shouldn't be able to enhance his Endurance with world power due to the fact that he doesn't have a domain of earth and his domain is obviously enhancing his speed.

But things didn't work out like that. 9 Crowns is clearly running and he also didn't take a single scratch from his attacks even though he is going all out. He just can't believe it.

He said again, "This doesn't make sense. It just doesn't make sense."

Then his puppet in God's Domain died and his perception of God's Domain was cut off. He couldn't receive anything from the pillar anymore. It was as if the pillar was nothing but ordinary rock.

Smite died, leaving Feathered Serpent to take the baton. Feathered Serpent had been preparing to use his domain as soon as Smite died, so a new domain encapsulated the area.

It was a domain of water, and it could create sharp water blades to shred everything within it. It was clearly dangerous, but 9 Crowns was already running away.

Feathered Serpent chased after him while going all out to attack him. But 40% of 700,000 is just 280,000. It couldn't overcome 9 Crowns defense of 350,000. Not even one hundred attacks could do this.

9 Crowns ran, but Feathered Serpents divine water domain could keep up with him because he had a lot of divine energy to spread the domain. But the distance between them was increasing rapidly, which caused the divine energy cost to skyrocket.

By the time 10 kilometers were between them, Feathered Serpent had spent 100,000 units of divine energy to keep up with him. The cost to keep up the domain every second was just 5,000 units of divine energy. It was negligible. As for the cost of attack, it was 100,000 units of divine energy.

So Feathered Serpent had spent a total of 215,000 units of divine energy in five seconds and had gotten nothing in return. He had to make a choice immediately. Should he continue chasing or give up?

He chose to give up. That was the smart choice. He removed the domain after spending 30.7% of his total divine energy on it. Then he decided to return to Gemmis.

That was another smart decision. But 9 Crowns was not going to let him go. 9 Crowns chased after him while putting everything he had apart from Authority into strength.

Legion-1 had suffered under their blows, and he couldn't retaliate with his own divine domain of fire or divine domain of earth because he was pretending not to have them.

The only thing he could do was use divine strike and Myriad Armament. Now that the opportunity had come for him to use Myriad Armament, he wasn't going to let it go.

Arrows with the power of 410,000 came flying after Smite at the rate of 14 per second. As the god king of a pantheon at the top of the ranking list, his Authority of 700,000 is impressive. But it is not impressive enough to deal with the attacks.

40% of 700,000 was 280,000. His innate Endurance was 80,000. He put that much divinity in Endurance because his domain enhanced speed and his Authority would enhance strength. His armor gave him 40% of 80,000 which was 32,000.

This formed a total Endurance of 392,000. It still wasn't enough to protect him completely, so he took a damage of 18,000 with each attack. In one second, he was taking damages worth 252,000. That's already more than the divine energy he wasted on the domain.

He thought that spending 215,000 divine energy in five seconds was a waste, but now he is contemplating giving another go. He had to think really fast about it because, by enhancing his Endurance with Authority, his speed had fallen to a mere 110,000. That is even with the enhancement of his domain.

9 Crowns called behind him, "I've made a mistake. I overestimated you bunch." Feathered Serpent almost choked because he doesn't think 9 Crowns' mistake was bad. It certainly doesn't compare to the mistake he and Smite made by underestimating 9 Crowns. They knew that the 9 crowns was the highest on the Authority ranking, but they didn't know how high his Authority was. Smite expected it to be high. That's why he didn't choose to attack 9 crowns when he was a true god, and he immediately decided to acquire an ally after 9 Crowns became a domain god. But now they have realized that they were very wrong about their estimate.

He is just like Legion-1. Both of them had wrongfully estimated each other's power. If Smite knew that the 9 Crowns' Authority was so high, he would have run at the very first sight instead of scheming. Now Smite has died, leaving him with the problem.

Feathered Serpent cursed. "Fucking Smite. Go all out, he said. Don't let him get away, he said. But how will I get away?"

How he will get away is the matter at hand right now. It is also a serious matter because 9 Crowns is catching up to him. If 9 Crowns got close enough to him, he would be able to use Golden Light and deal devastating damage.

Feathered Serpent knew this, as he had suffered under Golden Light in the past. So he was tempted to ditch his Endurance and enhance his Speed with his Authority. But he knew that wasn't going to be enough.

He knew he was going to be caught eventually and he also knew that he might die before then because if he removed the 280,000 from his Authority protecting his life, then he would die in less than a second.

So he used his domain again. After all, 215,000 every five seconds was better than 252,000 every second.
