Chapter 1093: Goddess of Wealth
A living Goddess of Wealth was worth far more than a corpse, especially one whose divine abilities and domains granted her such immense divine power.
Killing her would be like slaughtering a goose that could lay golden eggs.
Across the Astral Realm, most Rank Four and above beings traded using energy crystals, souls, or rare materials. Some deities used divine energy crystals as currency as well.
According to research by mages of the Magus Civilization, divine energy crystals were essentially high-grade energy constructs created by Rank Four or higher deities through fusing the power of faith with their own divine energy.
Mages from Magus World at Rank Four and above could also create similar energy cores, though theirs were purely elemental in nature and lacked divine attributes.
Creating such crystals required highly complex magic arrays and refined energy manipulation techniques, so only well-established organizations like the divine towers had the capability to produce them.
The practice of manufacturing energy crystals was not unique to the Magus World or faith-based civilizations. Some advanced technological civilizations had also developed similar processes.
While the energy blocks produced by technological civilizations were created through similar principles, most of them were used for mid- to low-tier applications.
In terms of quality, they could hardly compare to divine energy crystals or elemental crystals.
As for Aurelia, she could only listen in despair as the demons in the hall—and that sinister foreign goddess named Lorthisra—discussed her fate like she was just an object.
If she were enslaved, the annual output Lorthisra could extract from her in the form of faith power and divine energy crystals would be immense.
