Ch. 2461..2470
Chapter 2461 Controlling Maya Industries
It was as if he was trying to scare everyone to death.
Levi’s words got everyone curious.
Something seems off… Why would he ask us if we want to know how he survived? Could it be…?
Levi didn’t wait for them to come around. He simply chuckled and pointed out, “Haven’t you been curious about how I survived? Or why I never run into any Gods?”
His words were like a bomb that had gone off in everybody’s minds.
Ah! He has figured it out. I can’t believe he actually knows about the Gods… but wait, how does he know all that? We never share the real folder with him. All he ever received was the fake folder.
“G-God? How did you know about them? It shouldn’t be possible… D-Did you bug us?” asked one high-rank official of Maya Industries while stuttering.
“Bug you? Of course not. The reason I know about the Gods is simple. I met them,” replied Levi calmly.
“Huh? Did you meet them? No, wait. If you met them, then it means that the Lab of Gods’ folder is accurate. The Gods exist,” gasped the high-rank officials of Maya Industries.
No one suspected Levi’s words.
The fact that he used the word God meant that he knew the truth.
That, however, presented another mystery.
If Levi had run into the Gods, how did he return unscathed? It shouldn’t be possible. It can’t be!
It shouldn’t matter how strong Dark Emperor is or how he tops the Divine Leaderboard. At the end of the day, he is still human.
His opponent are gods!
According to the folders from Lab of Gods, the beings residing here are undefeatable Gods!
How did he survive then?
“Are you guys wondering how I survive my encounter with the Gods?”
Levi could tell what they were thinking about.
“Yes, we are. You shouldn’t be alive if you run into them!”
Everyone nodded furiously.
“I slaughtered all of them. That’s how I survived.”
Two sentences were all it took.
It felt as if lightning had struck and blown everyone into pieces.
The news was simply too shocking!
He killed the Gods? How can that be?
“Truth is, the elders from The Cardinal Hall encountered the Gods as well. They were wounded and would’ve died if I hadn’t shown up to rescue them,” added Levi while smiling.
“That is not possible. They were never injured. We repeatedly checked…”
The high-rank official couldn’t believe what they were hearing and seeing.
“You are still too young. All they needed was to take some healing drugs, and they’ll recover soon enough. Do you honestly think that The Cardinal Hall can’t even manage that?” scoffed Levi.
“Huh? Have we been conned?”
The high-rank officials of Maya Industries looked at each other in disbelief.
“Yes, you were. In fact, you kept being conned. I’ve always known that you lot are trying to get the Gods of Restricted Area 76 to kill me. I was planning to come over to collect some resources at that time, so I played along,” shared Levi.
After hearing what Levi said, every high-rank official of Maya Industries stiffened like they had been struck by lightning.
Levi was in control of everything this entire time.
“I didn’t actually need to lie to you, but I thought it’d be funny. I’ve already slaughtered all the Gods living here, so there is absolutely nothing to be f*cking scared of.”
Levi stared at the crowd. It was as though he was a predator looking at its prey.
“You actually killed all of them…”
“No, I don’t buy it. Even Lab of Gods feared the Gods, so how could you have killed them?”
“You’re right. We shouldn’t believe his words. He is definitely messing with us.”
No one bought Levi’s claims, and they didn’t bother hiding their distrust.
“Then get them over. They exist, don’t they?” challenged Levi.
“Well…”
Everyone hesitated and swayed.
It was undeniable that the Gods exist, but they were nowhere to be seen.
That means Levi actually murdered all of them…
“Oh, quit looking all confused. In fact, why don’t you go ask the devil if you have any questions?”
Levi was merciless towards those men.
He murdered every single one of them.
There were no survivors.
They were no longer useful since Levi had grown to be strong enough to control Maya Industries.
So what’s the point of letting them live?
Chapter 2462 Testing The Sword Out
Levi had to make a small adjustment, but he ended up having Maya Industries under his tight control.
The decision-makers had always been nothing more than puppets, anyway.
They probably set Maya Industries up because Lab of Gods ordered them to do so.
Those thoughts prompted Levi to keep the fact that he had conquered Maya Industries a secret.
He wanted to use Maya Industries to trace back to Lab of Gods.
It’s possible that the incident in Restricted Area 76 is leaked, and Lab of Gods might already know about it.
That means they might make their move soon.
The Lab of Gods might be aiming for the resources in Restricted Area 76 and will likely send someone over.
That was why Levi wanted to get an anti-theft system and a surveillance system set up.
It would turn Restricted Area 76 into the most secure place with zero blind spots.
Even the slightest movement and the faintest noise could raise an alarm.
In a way, the entire thing could be described as Levi’s trap. He was waiting for the big fish to bite the bait.
Levi was using the resources in Restricted Area 76 to bait Lab of Gods.
Things will be easier once we get a clue as to what they are. We can even slowly trace it back to their headquarters.
Levi settled everything there before he returned to Erudia.
Splash!
As he traveled, he had the God Crusher turn into a circular orb.
The shiny sword shone and vibrated as an orb and let out a soft hum.
The scary bit, however, was that the energy it exuded was like a wild animal banging against its cage, begging to be released. It wanted to fight.
“Huh! It’s such a pity. I just can’t find an opponent to test my sword out…” commented Levi in exasperation as he stared at the God Crusher.
At that moment, Levi was in urgent need of an opponent.
Lab of Gods, please show up soon! Without you lot, I can’t even find a decent opponent.
Ah, if only I can cut myself in half. That way, I’d be able to battle myself… Wait, there is a way around it! It’s an old technique called Left vs Right!
I can actually fight myself. It’s worth a try at least, but… it won’t be fun after a while.
Hey, maybe I can get that punk, Edmund, to hurry up and reach Level Nine of the Iron Golem Technique!
It’s not likely to happen, though. That punk won’t reach that level anytime soon. Ah, there is no opponent at all!
“If I really want to test my sword out, I might need to go all the way to The Cardinal Hall. Maybe I can get them to gather all of their best fighters around? Their combined strength should suffice and allow me to test my blade.”
Levi was truly going all out to find some ways to test his sword.
He was coming up with all sorts of strange ideas.
As Levi busied away in Restricted Area 76, Erudia went through some drastic changes.
Almost all the ten Ancient Clans that made up the hidden forces protecting Erudia had revealed themselves.
No one knew why, though.
The Garrison clan of Oakland City was especially arrogant of late because their true fighting expert had shown up.
Donald’s master and a few other fighters of the same rank had come out of hiding.
The key person, however, was Eustace Garrison, a man known as God of Massacre.
His title was a legend within Eragon and The Cardinal Hall.
He was so strong that he overwhelmed the fighters in Eragon all on his own. Even Divine Brigadier was defeated.
It should be noted that the ancient Garrison clan almost became a part of Eragon.
Unfortunately, an unpredictable change occurred.
That change was brought about by God of Massacre, Eustace.
He massacred the three Ancient Clans that were competing against the ancient Garrison clan.
That infuriated everyone else and prompted them to disqualify the ancient Garrison clan.
He might not be the strongest man within the ancient Garrison clan, but he was definitely the most bloodthirsty one.
Ever since the guy showed up in Oakland City, Donald and Tyrone became even more arrogant.
They didn’t hold back and went after all the enemies they were not able to kill earlier.
There were even rumors about how they had their eyes on Levi and Forlevia.
The elders of the ancient Garrison clan were all curious when they learned about how they had a talented youngling outside the family.
Everyone wanted to take the youngling back to the family and train her in person.
However, God of Massacre, Eustace, was more interested in Levi, who had disobeyed the family rules.
The former had attacked multiple times in the short period that he was in Oakland, and stories about him were shared throughout Erudia.
It got everyone to start panicking.
Levi, on the other hand, was excited to learn about all that.
“Yes! Now I have an opponent to test my sword out on.”
Chapter 2463 God Of Massacre
Levi was instantly psyched up.
He laughed aloud.
No one could understand or relate to his glee.
They didn’t know why he was laughing like an idiot.
Hell yeah! I can test my sword out now.
Levi had thought hard about who his opponent would be.
In the end, he decided to go to The Cardinal Hall and ask Divine Brigadier as well as a bunch of other fighting experts to fight against him. He wanted them to join forces and block a single swing from his sword.
But that wouldn’t be fun, and it kinda feels like I’m bullying them.
Hence, the situation in Erudia came at the perfect time.
The ancient Garrison clan suddenly showed up, and a fighter like Eustace is perfect for testing my sword out!
I can even use this opportunity to learn more about the Ancient Clan. I’m basically killing two birds with one stone. Hah, lady luck truly is on my side. I can’t believe I actually have someone to test my sword out on.
Everyone stared curiously when they saw how Levi was laughing aloud.
He went out on a trip and returned as an idiot. Did something happen? What’s wrong with him? Why does he keep laughing in the silliest way?
The important bit was that everyone was talking about God of Massacre, Eustace, at the time.
Their description painted the cruelest and bloodiest image!
That guy was coming after Levi, and no one knew what to do about it.
Yet, Levi was laughing aloud over there.
It was strange and completely undecipherable.
“Donald has issued the final warning. He will definitely be here in three days. The first thing he will do is to take Evie back to the ancient Garrison clan where they will raise her. They will officially recognize her as one of them.
“Secondly, Eustace is using the family’s rules as an excuse and will be here to kill you, Boss,” reported Azure Dragon.
The Garrison clan was going after Levi. That was what everyone had recently learned.
With God of Massacre, Eustace, joining forces with Donald’s master and his comrades…
They can totally disregard The Cardinal Hall of Eragon and drag Evie away.
There was also the bit where they would punish Levi in accordance with the family’s rules.
There is no way he can survive that.
Everyone gathered in North Hampton after receiving the news.
Levi happened to return as well.
He had the grouchiest expression on at the time.
To everyone’s surprise, he didn’t become grouchy after hearing the news. He laughed in excitement instead.
It was like he just received the best news.
The others simply couldn’t understand what was going on.
They stared curiously at him.
“Aren’t you worried?” asked Zoey.
“What is there to worry about?”
I’m just going to use them to test my sword out, so there’s nothing to worry about.
“The current situation is different! We could protect you in the past and can even rescue you, but the ancient Garrison clan’s experts are here! I’ve seen the way they attack, and their skills are at least as great as that of my mentor, Dark Emperor. They might even be as strong as Divine Brigadier.
“God of Massacre, Eustace, is especially powerful. It feels like no one can go up against him.
“Their arrival got the Divine Leaderboard all messed up. The organizations involved are talking about updating the list because there are simply too many fighters showing up. That made it so that the Divine Leaderboard is completely inaccurate.
“We have no shot against them at all. I mean unless The Cardinal Hall and Eragon…”
Zoey kept analyzing the situation and sharing her ideas.
Everyone was in agreement and thought that Zoey’s analysis was on point.
They couldn’t do anything about enemies as strong as that.
While it’s true that they were all on the Divine Leaderboard, their titles and skills meant nothing when used against Eustace. They would be defeated in an instant.
“Well, what do we do? Is there a way to solve this problem? We certainly can’t fight them head-on. We could double or triple our numbers, and it still won’t matter.”
“There is no way to protect ourselves. We have to come up with something,” said someone.
Just then, Evie voiced up and said, “Our only option is for Daddy and me to go to The Cardinal Hall right away. There is nothing Eustace can do if we stay there and refuse to leave.
“No matter what, my mentors and Divine Brigadier will protect us. The ancient Garrison clan might be arrogant, but even they won’t dare to barge into The Cardinal Hall.
“If they do, they will be declaring war against The Cardinal Hall and Eragon. I’m sure Eustace won’t risk it. Unless he’s insane, that is.”
Chapter 2464 I Cannot Wait For Three Days
Forlevia’s words were instantly backed up.
“That’s an amazing plan! You’re absolutely brilliant, Evie.”
“All we need to do is get to The Cardinal Hall! Eustace won’t dare to barge in.”
Everyone was looking at Forlevia with admiration glowing in their eyes.
They also clapped for her.
“There are only two shortcomings to this plan. The first is that we must bow down to The Cardinal Hall. We will be living with them, after all, so we have to recognize them as the owner and the host. “Only then will The Cardinal Hall allow us to stay.
“The second shortcoming is that we might have to stay there for quite some time.
“We can’t leave the place until Eustace has left permanently. Naturally, that won’t apply if we grow and become strong enough to defeat Eustace and the ancient Garrison clan on our own,” said Forlevia with a straight face on as she looked at her father.
Zoey and the others were quick to chime in. “That’s true, but it’s not that bad to hide in The Cardinal Hall. Take your time and slowly build your strength up. Just regard this as your solitary training.”
“That’s true. After training in solitary for a few years, you will emerge as a great fighter and can go after the ancient Garrison clan then.”
“Exactly! We believe in you, Master. In five years, you will surely grow to be strong enough to fight against the ancient Garrison clan.”
Everyone was encouraging Levi to do so.
Queenie was one of the people who were truly eager to have Levi go over.
Her true intention was for Levi to stay in The Cardinal Hall for a few years.
That will keep him and Zoey apart, and only then will I have a shot at being with him.
However, there was no way the guy would hide there.
What the heck? Getting me to head over to The Cardinal Hall? Puh-lease, I’d end up being the one protecting their sorry a*sses.
Many thought that Levi would surely agree to do so.
They assumed that Levi had feelings for Queenie, and living in The Cardinal Hall would give him a better shot at being with her.
Plus, Divine Brigadier has always had a soft spot for Levi, so he won’t be treated badly. It’s likely he’ll agree to head over.
To their surprise, Levi shook his head and stroked Forlevia’s head. He replied, “I’m not going anywhere. I’m not scared, so why bother hiding away? I’m not the only one staying put, though. You don’t have to hide either, Evie. Live here and live freely. With me here, no one on this Earth would have the guts to hurt you!”
Queenie trembled after she heard Levi’s bold claims.
She saw Levi as an extremely cool and powerful guy.
Everyone else thought that his words were childish and stupid.
Levi? Protecting Evie? Puh-lease! You can’t even make it into the Divine Leaderboard while your enemy, Eustace, got every organization to recalibrate the Divine Leaderboard as soon as he showed up.
You are absolutely nothing compared to the guy!
“You know, Levi, I just learned something. Turns out, you are a stubborn idiot!
“You’re not scared of anything, but do you have what it takes to solve the matter? And how can you let Evie suffer with you? No, not on my watch!
“Evie must go to The Cardinal Hall even if you won’t. I will not let anything happen to her.
“Who knows what will happen if the ancient Garrison clan gets to her? I can’t let her fall.
“Evie, you will go to The Cardinal Hall today. Just ignore your dad. Apparently, he’s really strong,” scoffed Zoey.
Forlevia was exasperated.
She had no choice but to travel to The Cardinal Hall on her own.
Still, she wouldn’t abandon her father.
Once I get there, I will ask my master and Divine Brigadier to come to rescue him.
“The ancient Garrison clan will be here in three days, Levi. I just hope that you’d man up when the time comes and face them instead of running away. If you do, the rest of us would be troubled,” growled Zoey angrily.
She worried that Levi wouldn’t stay true to his words and would turn around and run when the time came.
He better not abandon everyone and make us suffer in his place.
“Don’t worry, I won’t run. I will deal with the matter,” murmured Levi.
He went to Queenie after everyone had left.
“Please help me look into the matter and figure out where the Eustace is right now. I can’t wait to meet him, and I don’t think I can sit around doing nothing for three days. Let’s go to them right away! I want to test my sword out on them,” said Levi eagerly.
That got Queenie confused and curious.
Why is he so eager and excited? He can’t even wait for a while?
Chapter 2465 He Was Locked In The Prison Of Darkness Too
“Hurry! My God Crusher is hungry for blood,” urged Levi.
He finally found an opponent to test his sword out on, so he truly couldn’t wait.
Please let the guy be stronger. Heck, the stronger he is, the better. Hopefully, he is the kind of guy that can go on a rampage in The Cardinal Hall or maybe even someone who can frighten the Gods in Restricted Area 76. Ah. Please let him be a threat to me too! Only then will this fight be fun and meaningful.
Queenie didn’t quite understand why Levi was that excited and eager, but she tapped into her network and searched for Eustace Garrison.
It didn’t take long before Queenie found Eustace.
“He’s not in Oakland City. Instead, he’s in Chillshire.”
“Okay, then let’s hurry to Chillshire. I can’t wait any longer.”
Levi and Queenie went to Chillshire immediately after.
The place was already in a wreck by the time they reached there.
Fear filled the place ever since God of Massacre showed up.
The guy made a bee’s line to the Ancient Clan in Chillshire and massacred everyone there as soon as he showed up.
The reason behind that attack was that the clan had fallen for Donald’s taunts once and spoke ill of the ancient Garrison clan.
Both clans were a part of the Ancient Clan, but their difference in strength was still great.
The clan in Chillshire specialized in creating weapons, drugs, and different types of machinery.
Fighting wasn’t their forte, so Eustace was able to wipe them out easily.
That got the entire Chillshire to tremble in fear.
Everyone worried that they’d accidentally piss Eustace off.
His thirst for blood is out of this world, and no one can stop him once he goes on a rampage.
Eustace was actually locked up within the ancient Garrison clan.
The others worried that they wouldn’t be able to control him after he went on a rampage. Eustace was unstoppable in that state, so they locked him up in the Prison of Darkness.
That was right.
It was the same kind of prison that the previous Dark Emperor used to lock Levi up.
The only difference was that the ancient Garrison clan could open the Prison of Darkness from the other end.
That was why they had been able to control Eustace.
Regardless of how powerful Eustace was, it was still impossible for him to open the Prison of Darkness from the inside.
A certain someone had designed and built that Prison of Darkness, so it was not possible to open it from within.
No one knew why, but the ancient Garrison clan actually sent him out again.
Perhaps the change around the world was too drastic, and that caught the ancient Garrison clan’s eyes.
Maybe that was why they sent the guy over.
Life faltered wherever Eustace went.
Everyone hid away as best as they could.
That was why the lively street of Chillshire seemed vacant and abandoned.
Everyone worried that they’d bump into Eustace.
The guy doesn’t need a reason to kill and does things based on his mood.
The number of people who had died by his hands was uncountable.
Eustace declared, “The ancient Garrison clan has occupied Chillshire, and we are your masters now. Anyone who has any complaints can protest now.”
Everyone was angry to hear Eustace’s declaration, but no one dared to act on it.
No one had the guts to get under his skin.
Donald, Tyrone, and the others were in Oakland City and were delighted to hear about what had happened in Chillshire.
They began celebrating.
Eustace’s mission was to occupy every piece of land available.
He was to challenge every fighter in Erudia and inspire fear in everybody.
They wanted the entire nation to be terrified of the Garrison clan.
We will soon occupy the entire Erudia and become the true leaders of the nation!
What we had in the past will be nothing compared to what we will have.
“Just you wait, Levi. Your demise will come soon after.”
Everyone was looking forward to the day they pass judgment on Levi.
On the other side.
Eustace left Chillshire and started making his way to Southford.
The Toxin Clan, which specialized in creating poisons, was there, and Eustace wanted to try challenging them.
However, two youngsters, a man and a woman, barred his path as he was making his way over.
“Huh?”
Eustace was a little curious.
Most would take a detour and avoid me as much as possible when they see me.
Yet, these two are taking the initiative to approach me.
It’s almost as if they are here for me.
“You…”
Eustace was about to voice up when the man standing opposite to him suddenly did the strangest thing…
Chapter 2466 I Will Test My Sword On You
Naturally, the two youngsters in question were Levi and Queenie.
They had been searching for hours, but they eventually figured out which route Eustace was taking and found him.
At that moment, Levi had a huge photo with him and was placing the photo right beside Eustace’s face to compare the two carefully.
That got Eustace utterly speechless.
“Yep, that’s a match, alright. There’s no mistaking it. You’re Eustace Garrison.”
Levi tore the photo apart after he confirmed that the man standing in front of him was the one he had been looking for.
“You…”
Eustace was taken aback.
No one had ever dared to behave like that in front of me before. Not even the members of the ancient Garrison clan have the guts to do so.
Heck, even the genius, Donald, is cautious around me and keeps his distance.
That guy doesn’t even have the guts to get too close to me when he speaks.
This young man standing in front of me is different.
“Are you here for me?” asked Eustace to test the waters.
“Yeah, I’m here for you. Dang, I had to spend so much effort to track you down,” complained Levi.
“Why were you looking for me? Did Donald send you?”
Eustace assumed that there was some important news to report to him.
Levi sneered and replied, “What the f*ck does Donald have to do with this? I am the one looking for you.
“I recently made a sword and have been looking for someone to test it out. Rumor has it that you are pretty strong, so I came to test my sword out on you!”
Pfft! Ahem! Ahem!
Hearing how Levi responded in such a relaxed tone surprised Eustace.
He ended up coughing nonstop, and it got to the point where he was tearing up a little.
It was hard to imagine it, but an elite fighter like that was actually so surprised that he was coughing endlessly.
It was too surprising.
Seriously? This is too strange.
Eustace would never have imagined that he would live to see the day when someone regarded him as a tool.
This punk is actually planning to use me as a tool to test his sword out?
This is unbelievable. Sh*t like this has never happened to me before. Heck, I never even heard someone saying something similar before.
How is my incredible strength the reason to test a sword out? What the f*ck kind of sword is that?
If anyone else were there, they would be so shocked that their jaws would drop.
They would say something like…
“What the hell? He’s taunting God of Massacre and saying he wants to use the guy to test his sword out? Is that dude sleepwalking or something? Why else would he do something like this?”
Eustace was trembling uncontrollably. He wanted to let his rage loose, but he couldn’t get angry.
If anything, he wanted to laugh aloud.
For as long as he could remember, everyone had seen him as a killing machine and feared him.
The Garrison family even locked me up in the Prison of Darkness.
Getting out of the place only served to make me more bloodthirsty and reckless.
No one could do anything about me.
Yet, out of nowhere, a punk showed up to taunt me.
“Who are you? A member of The Cardinal Hall? Are you a part of Eragon?”
Eustace had analyzed the situation and concluded that Levi had to be someone of a powerful background.
He scanned around and noticed that Queenie’s style was that of The Cardinal Hall.
She might even be connected to Divine Brigadier.
Unfortunately, Eustace couldn’t figure Levi out.
That was why he hypothesized that Levi had to either be a part of The Cardinal Hall or Eragon.
Levi shook his head and replied, “Neither. Dude, I am just here to test my sword out on you, so why are you asking so many questions? It’s not like I’m asking for a loan.
“Don’t worry, though. I will not go overboard. I’m just going to test my sword out, and I promise I won’t kill or wound you. That is something I can be certain of. My friend can even stand and be a witness to all of this,” said Levi with a straight face on.
Queenie nodded from the side and declared, “Yep, I can guarantee that he will not hurt or wound you.”
“Bwa hahahaha.”
Eustace was ever so delighted.
He had never encountered something quite like that before.
Hahaha, someone is actually promising not to kill me… This has got to be something new.
I used to be the one that makes that promise to others.
Naturally, Eustace only made that promise after his opponent had already fallen.
The way this punk speaks suggests that he sees me as his prey.
So I am a toy and a tool for him, huh? That’s the only reason he’d need to make a promise like this.
It’s a taunt. It’s definitely the most infuriating taunt I have ever heard.
Anything Levi said at that moment would be regarded as the sharpest tool designed to be the perfect taunt for Eustace.
“Alright, punk. Congratulations. You have become the person I want to kill the most!”
Chapter 2467 The God Crusher Emerged
Eustace was infuriated.
No one could save Levi now that Eustace’s bloodlust had been triggered.
Even the greatest heroes won’t be able to rescue him!
“What’s the point of talking sh*t? Hurry up. My sword is craving blood.”
Levi could barely wait any longer.
What he didn’t know was that his words only served to taunt Eustace even more.
“Gah! I am so going to kill you.”
Eustace was so angry that his aura flushed out of him.
It felt as if the mightiest weapon of a deity was about to strike the darkest of nights…
It was scary!
Actually, it would be more accurate to say that it was downright terrifying.
Queenie sensed the horrifying pressure that threatened to overwhelm the entire world, and she couldn’t help trembling.
It’s almost as powerful as the aura my father exuded after he took the holy pills.
That means that Eustace is slightly stronger than Father…
Or maybe a little more than just slightly…
The holy pills were ridiculously powerful, so that means that Eustace definitely has what it takes to defeat Father!
Levi sensed it as well.
Eustace is definitely stronger than Divine Brigadier He might even be on the same level as the Gods in Restricted Area 76.
Levi could also feel the energy within the guy swirling about and getting all excited.
His emotions and bloodlust can give him a boost and make him even stronger. Oh, he is perfect for testing my sword out on!
“Go to hell!”
Eustace threw a punch over right away.
It was as though a mountain had toppled over, and the strength threatened to turn Levi into pulp.
That terrifying strength and aura stunned Queenie in place and made it impossible for her to move.
If she were the one going against Eustace, she would surely die.
She might not even get the chance to fight back.
It was at that moment that everyone learned just how powerful Eustace was.
No wonder his emergence got the Divine Leaderboard all messed up.
“Ah, this is perfect!”
Levi, however, was getting excited.
Boom!
Eustace threw a direct punch, but he was stopped by an invisible force just before he could reach Levi.
He couldn’t push any further in and was stopped short.
He blocked my attack without moving a muscle or having any armor.
There’s nothing there, so how is he blocking my attack?
Eustace was still trying to make sense of everything when something showed up in front of him. It swirled around like water and slowly revealed itself.
A long sword eventually presented itself.
The God Crusher had emerged.
This sword is the item that had stopped my attack!
All the energy and power I put into that punch instantly disappeared like a sandcastle melting into the ocean.
Boom!
God Crusher suddenly retaliated. The terrifying force within pushed Eustace backward.
Vroom! Vroom!
God Crusher started humming and was practically screaming.
Levi was just as excited.
Finally, I found someone who can handle this sword!
“Come on, then!”
Levi swung his sword over.
He didn’t infuse it with his own power, nor did he use any technique.
It was all on God Crusher to deal the damage.
“You assh*le!”
Eustace stopped looking down on Levi and had his guard up.
The second the sword showed up, Eustace knew that it was something extraordinary.
That sword is something else.
Eustace’s energy elevated, and his aura was as powerful as a dragon’s. It threatened to tear the sky apart.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
What followed was a series of parries.
Eustace was undeniably strong and allowed Levi to test out all the sword’s attributes.
That included the energy surging through God Crusher.
Levi was only testing his sword out and had no intention of killing Eustace, so the two of them remained unharmed.
However, the fact that Levi was safe, got Eustace to panic.
I am fighting against a youngster from a place like this. Yet, I am unable to defeat him even though the battle has lasted for so long.
If things keep going this way, I will be mocked endlessly.
“That won’t do! You want to test your sword out, huh? Well, I will destroy it, and defeat you!”
Eustace’s mind could no longer think about anything else.
All he knew was that he wanted to destroy Levi.
Boom!
He suddenly took something out of his possession.
A crimson red blade showed itself.
“This is Death Sword and has been purified with fresh blood from countless victims. It is the most terrifying weapon in existence. Even Divine Brigadier’s Skyward Sword is not a match against it. Today, I shall use this sword to destroy your weapon! Now, tell me your weapon’s name.”
Chapter 2468 Eustace Cries
When Eustace took his sword out, his aura increased by over ten folds.
His combat prowess also rose exponentially.
That was right.
That version of him was the Eustace Garrison that even the Ancient clan had to be wary of.
He was in his scariest state at moments like those, and no one could stop him.
When the ancient Garrison clan first locked him up, they conned him and separated him from his sword. Only then were they manage to lock him up.
If they hadn’t done all that, they would not be able to lock him in the Prison of Darkness.
When Death Sword revealed itself, Queenie felt light-headed. Her mind might’ve also shut down for a second there.
Through that sword, she saw countless lives fading away. A mountain of corpses and an ocean of blood stood there as the agonized screams of the angry spirits filled her ears.
She felt as if her soul was being dragged into the sword.
It makes sense that Skyward Sword failed to fight against something as terrifying as this.
Levi chuckled when he saw Eustace with Death Sword. The former challenged, “Are you sure you’re worthy of learning my sword’s name?”
This sword is named the God Crusher because I created it to fight against Lab of Gods. Hence, Eustace actually is not worthy of learning its name.
Levi couldn’t deny that he was rather interested in Death Sword, though.
It is much stronger than Skyward Sword.
That gives me another avenue to test my sword out. That is amazing. Awh, Eustace is such a nice guy. He is going all out for me to test my sword. What a great guy!
“Die!”
Eustace was so agitated that he had reached his most terrifying state.
He had Death Sword with him and was ready to kill Levi.
“Come on, then.”
Levi gripped God Crusher and swung the sword over.
Clang!
The two divine tools crashed into each other and an ear-piercing noise echoed.
If Queenie hadn’t been shielding herself and fighting hard against the shock waves, she would be vomiting blood at that moment.
Boom!
Boom!
The surrounding mountains had toppled, and the forest turned into wooden pulps.
Crack!
It didn’t take long before a crisp voice came to everyone.
A weapon had been broken in half.
Disbelief donned Eustace’s face. The Death Sword he had with him actually broke into two halves!
It’s not strong enough?
Slash!
In the very next second, God Crusher broke through Death Sword and slid past Eustace’s figure.
Crimson blood spilled immediately.
God Crusher absorbed every single drop of it.
It trembled in excitement. The sword was actually singing in delight!
That was the first time God Crusher tasted blood.
In a way, it finally took its first step.
The sword-testing session was a success.
Fortunately, Levi had held back.
If he hadn’t, Eustace would surely have died.
Boom!
Despite all that, the incredible power within God Crusher still overwhelmed Eustace’s body and forced the guy to go on his knees.
His knees dug deep into the soil.
He was kneeling in front of Levi.
“Hmm… the sword-testing session is a success. Not bad.”
My opponent isn’t as perfect as I thought, but it was a still a success.
It’s especially nice that Death Sword was there to make up for Eustace’s shortcoming.
If Death Sword wasn’t there, Levi would have to go to The Cardinal Hall to gather a bunch of experts just to test his sword out.
Ugh, even the thought of it is troublesome.
On top of that, the effects won’t be as good despite the trouble I have to go through.
Testing the sword on Eustace is, in a way, pretty amazing.
Even God Crusher is shaking endlessly. It’s obviously excited and thought that the session was a success as well.
“I did as I promised. I didn’t kill you or wound you, but you do have a small injury there. Give him some medicine.”
Levi turned to Queenie and shouted at her when he said that last sentence.
As requested, Queenie got a bottle of medicine out of her possession and tossed it to Eustace, who was kneeling on the ground.
Levi and Queenie left the place after that.
Eustace, who was kneeling deep in the ground, was on the verge of crying.
His face was so pale that he looked like a ghost. His gaze was blank and unfocused after he was defeated.
It looked like his soul wasn’t there anymore, and he behaved like a zombie.
That was the worst state a human being could be in.
He could no longer recognize the world, and his confidence had faded.
His heart practically died.
There was nothing worse than that.
“Ah! I was actually defeated. Gah!”
Urk!
Eustace’s blood pressure rose and prompted him to vomit blood.
“I… Sob!”
Eustace cried.
Eustace Garrison actually cried!
Chapter 2469 Like A Baby
Yep, that was right.
Levi had overwhelmed Eustace so much that the latter had cried.
The great God of Massacre had freaking cried.
It was beyond imagination.
No one would believe the story if it was ever shared, but he truly was crying.
In fact, he looked like a kid who was crying over a lollipop that was taken away from him.
He had just occupied Chillshire, and if their citizens had been there, they would’ve dropped their jaws.
Him? Crying? How is that even possible?
Humiliation, anger, emptiness, loneliness, and utter helplessness.
Those words best describe what Eustace was feeling at that moment.
He had never felt that helpless, or that humiliated, before.
His opponent messed with him like he was a toy, and there was nothing he could do about it.
I was defeated… I was actually defeated. And by a youngster!
Everything that Eustace held dear and was immensely proud of… they were nothing to that guy.
Neither my strength nor my weapon meant anything to him.
The difference in our strengths is simply too great!
Helpless.
Eustace felt more helpless than ever.
His enemy stood right in front of him, and he went all out to kill the guy. Yet, he couldn’t even get close enough to hurt him.
The worst bit was that Eustace knew that he could never be as strong as Levi was.
He didn’t even break a sweat when he defeated me earlier.
Just how hopeless could one feel?
Eustace shifted his gaze to the medicine on the ground and recalled what happened earlier. He saw and heard everything play out once more in his mind.
That got him even more helpless, and he cried even louder.
“Dude, why are you crying? It’s just a scratch, right? Just go to the hospital and have them bandage you up.”
“What kind of a man are you? It’s just a cut, and you’re already crying like there’s no tomorrow.”
“Oh dear, even my kid isn’t as weak. I can’t believe you cried so loudly.”
The passers-by couldn’t help dissing when they saw Eustace kneeling there and crying.
Their words reached Eustace’s ears.
That prompted him to cry even louder.
“You are so useless. Why are you crying over something so small?”
“Oh my gosh, this is so crazy. Dude, I met God of Massacre, Eustace Garrison, and I didn’t cry as much.”
“Exactly! How are you crying over something like this? Man up already.”
More and more spectators gathered to insult and diss Eustace.
When Eustace finally dried his tears, he stood up.
Given his state at the time, there was no way he could travel to Southford anymore.
He picked up his broken sword and slipped away with his head down.
He went back to Oakland City.
The entire city was partying that night.
The Garrison clan had bought all the fireworks in the city and was lighting all of them up.
That got colorful lights to fill the night sky.
It was more lively than one could imagine.
Yet, Eustace wasn’t happy to see all that.
Instead, his eyes reddened with tears as the humiliating memory haunted him once more.
“Huh? What brought you back?”
“Hey Eustace, you’re back?”
When members of the Garrison clan saw that Eustace had returned, they gathered around right away.
They stayed about one meter away from him, though.
Only the elders from the ancient Garrison clan, where Eustace was from, dared to stand closer to him.
The guy who called Eustace by his name was Donald’s master, Humphrey Garrison.
Donald, Tyrone, and the others gathered around.
Everyone stared fearfully at God of Massacre.
They might be from the same clan, but they were still scared of him.
It felt like they were no different from strangers to him.
However, they still sensed that there was something wrong with Eustace.
The immense bloodlust and cruelty that used to ooze out of the guy had completely faded.
It felt as if he was approachable.
They could also sense that he was licking his wound as though he had just endured something utterly humiliating.
H-How is this possible? The God of Massacre was humiliated? No way!
Humphrey saw that something was off with the guy, so he asked, “What’s wrong, Eustace? I thought you were heading to Southford to occupy the Toxin Clan after you crushed Chillshire. What brought you back?”
“Yeah, you look a little upset. Did… uhm… Did something happen?”
Everyone asked cautiously.
They were terrified of accidentally pissing God of Massacre off.
Everyone stared cautiously at him.
Something is off. He is acting out of the norm.
Chapter 2470 How Death Sword Breaks Apart
Eustace suddenly tilted his gaze up. An evil glare flushed out and scared everyone senseless.
“Nothing f*cking happened! Also, none of you have the authority to butt in on my matter.”
Eustace’s words got everyone to tremble in fear. They shut up right away.
“The Garrison clan will keep a low profile for now. Stop trying to expand or occupy lands. I’m tired and will be taking a break.”
Eustace left after saying his piece.
At first, he thought that he’d crush everything in his path as soon as he was released.
Who would’ve thought that it’d only take a few days for a fighter to show up and force him to his knees?
Looks like things out here aren’t as simple as they seem.
Everyone was stunned.
That was not Eustace’s style at all!
Does he really want to keep a low profile? That is unimaginable!
Still, Eustace had already issued his orders, so everyone had to obey.
“Master, the day after tomorrow is the day we said we’d go after Levi and Forlevia Garrison. Will Mr. Eustace…”
Donald trailed off.
“It’s fine. I’ll remind him later.”
Humphrey nodded.
“By the way, there’s one other thing. Maybe you can…”
Donald hesitated to finish his sentence.
“Don’t worry. Just leave it all to me.”
Eustace went to the courtyard to rest up, but all he could think about was Levi.
Who is he? How is he so strong? And where did he get his weapon from? How is it so powerful?
Just then, a series of footsteps came.
It was Humphrey.
He was the only one in the huge crowd who dared to go to Eustace.
They were very close, so that was understandable.
“Why are you here?”
Eustace was in a bad mood, so his tone was hostile.
Humphrey didn’t beat around the bush. He said, “I’m here to talk to you about two matters. The first is about dealing with Levi and taking Forlevia away. It’s scheduled to take place on the day after tomorrow.”
Eustace nodded and replied, “Yeah, I know. I will go in person. I want to see just how arrogant Levi Garrison is and how gifted that kid actually is.
“What’s the other matter?”
“My disciple and the other younger members of the Garrison clan want to check Death Sword out. Will you show it to them and satisfy their curiosity?” asked Humphrey.
“Huh? The Death Sword? Pfft!”
Hearing about the sword got Eustace to fall right onto the ground.
The memory he never wanted to think of played out in his mind once more.
It was the worst possible time to mention the sword.
Humphrey touched the most sensitive nerve and stabbed Eustace’s heart.
“Huh? What’s wrong, Eustace? Mentioning Death Sword seems to have agitated you. Did something happen?”
Humphrey noticed that something was off.
Eustace shook his head and replied, “It’s fine. I just thought that these kids are rather gutsy. They actually want to check my sword out, huh?”
“They are simply curious about what the legendary Death Sword looks like. Why not just show it to them? I’ve already promised them I’d show them, so it’s bad to back down now,” requested Humphrey.
Eustace had no choice but to agree to it.
Everyone will just get more suspicious if I don’t agree to do so.
It didn’t take long before Humphrey gathered Donald, Tyrone, and the others over. They stood there in Eustace’s courtyard.
Everyone was pushing one another. Their eyes shone with anticipation as they stared at Eustace.
“Be careful now. Eustace’s sword has killed thousands, and their angry souls reside in there now. Getting too close could mean losing yourself and being possessed by Death Sword,” warned Humphrey.
The crowd took a few steps back.
“Okay, I will show you Death Sword now.”
Slowly but surely, Eustace unsheathed Death Sword.
A terrifying aura engulfed the entire place right away.
“Huh? What happened? Why is Death Sword broken? When did it break in half?” blurted Humphrey curiously.
