Ch. 2721..2730
Chapter 2721 You Will Be Defeated
More and more people surrendered and joined Diviniteria. They had never been offered such attractive privilege before!
After that, a swarm of business conglomerates and influential figures joined Diviniteria one by one.
It seemed to have resulted in a wave of emotional turbulence among everyone. Even those who were undecided were tempted.
Finally, even countries started joining Diviniteria. Basically, they were all the foes of Erudia. Ibica turned out to be the first country who joined Diviniteria.
Since then, it resulted in a greater uproar worldwide. Before that, everyone was not as agitated when they heard about individuals, business conglomerates, or influential figures joining Diviniteria.
Nevertheless, everything seemed to be different right after Ibica chose to join Diviniteria. Again, it placed the whole world in a state of frenzy.
As the first country that joined Diviniteria, Ibica was given the utmost privilege and was deemed the first country under Diviniteria. Furthermore, it was renamed Ibica of Diviniteria.
It never occurred to them that they would be given such great benefits after joining Diviniteria. They could hardly believe that they were even given advanced weapons that they had never seen before.
As a result, many drooled over the attractive privilege given by Diviniteria to them.
Not long after that, Waldan, which was also Erudia’s enemy, became the second country that surrendered itself to Diviniteria.
Other countries, especially those forces located around Diviniteria, followed suit and joined them one by one. Unavoidably, they could sense Diviniteria’s petrifying growth rate.
Their gut instinct told them they would only put themselves on the line by going against the almighty Diviniteria. Therefore, they would rather surrender before it was too late. Apart from that, they could not resist the great charm of the benefits obtained by those countries that joined Diviniteria earlier!
Other than Super Nations such as Erudia, Zarain, and Xyperia, the other countries were on tempted in joining Diviniteria.
At the moment, Erudia seemed to be the only country against Diviniteria’s announcement. Apparently, they would fight against Diviniteria till the end.
Meanwhile, the rest of the countries were observing them before finalizing their decisions.
Even though Diviniteria was expanding at an alarming rate, they did not dare to take the risk by jumping to a hasty conclusion. After all, there was still no sign of the Leviathans after they were trapped by Erudia in the mysterious region. That practically complicated the global circumstance.
In the meantime, Black Hawk and Smythe, the head of Shield were invited to attend a negotiation meeting with Diviniteria on behalf of Zarain.
Mr. X wished that Zarain would join Diviniteria, and they would be offered exclusive privilege in return.
In other words, other countries had to surrender, but Zarain was invited to be its partner.
It was in stark contrast to the other countries who were under the command of Diviniteria. With that, Mr. X hoped Smythe would think it through.
“Huh? Why are you insisting on us joining you? Isn’t it better if we cooperate and take on the whole world together?” Smythe chuckled.
Black Hawk echoed, “Yeah! How nice if we can join hands. Why must we mind about who is the one leading when we can actually share everything? Not to mention, it’s not easy for you to take Erudia down by yourself, isn’t it? Erudia is strong and has many mighty allies. If they join hands with Xyperia again, I bet it’s really challenging for you to defeat them. But if we teamed up, things will turn the other way around. By then, we’ll be able to dominate the whole world together. Isn’t it awesome?”
No doubt, Black Hawk was no ordinary man. There was a reason why he was known as the top person of the Shield.
Everyone from the Labs of Gods was astounded by his eloquence. Good gracious! He is even trying to talk us into joining them instead!
“No way! We’ll not join hands with anyone! We only want you to be under our command!” The Lab of Gods was adamant in rejecting them.
“What if we refuse?” Smythe flashed him a subtle smile, wearing a look of sheer confidence. He was seemingly paying no heed to the Labs of Gods.
“Then we have no choice but to declare war against you! But of course, you can join hands with Erudia to battle against us! We have no fear in anything!” The others from the Lab of Gods laughed disdainfully. Deep down, they were not intimidated by Zarain, but they were fearful that Zarain would form an alliance with Erudia!
Hearing that, Smythe could not resist feeling amused and smiled.
Black Hawk’s lips contorted into a smirk. “It seems you tend to underestimate Erudia’s power!”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Lucifer asked grimly.
“Don’t you know that you’re going to fight against Levi Garrison again? He’s the one putting you in hot waters numerous times. You’ll be battling against him again this round! I have a hunch you’ll be badly defeated by him!”
Chapter 2722 The Simplest Mission
He knew too well about Levi’s unrivaled power. Thus, he tried to enlighten them.
Even so, the others from the Lab of Gods turned a deaf ear to his warning. Having no fear in anything, they paid no heed to the advice.
“Well, it can’t be denied that Levi Garrison is an intelligent man. I heard he even managed to obtain a lot of first-hand intelligence this round. But it was actually due to the trap that we set up earlier. Initially, we planned to take Erudia down without declaring war against them. But now, we’ll rely solely on our mighty combat prowess! Regardless of how smart he is, he is still not on the same level as us. We can effortlessly ruin Erudia with our unrivaled weapons and fighters!” Lucifer boasted.
Moments later, they continued with their negotiation.
Needless to say, both the representatives from the Labs of Gods and Zarain excelled at negotiating.
They spent a long time pinpointing each others’ weaknesses, playing mind games, and sounding each other out.
Zarain wanted the Lab of Gods to attack Erudia in full force so both parties would end up sustaining terrible losses. With that, Zarain would be the one standing to benefit.
On the other hand, the latter hoped Zarain would not join hands with Erudia.
After negotiating for a few hours, both parties could finally wrap their head around each other’s minds.
Smythe smirked, sneering inwardly. The Lab of Gods requested us to surrender? Pfft! That is merely their wishful thinking! Zarain is fearless of them!
Gazing at the futuristic city, he snickered. “Do you think that you’re the only one who is able to build this type of so-called futuristic city? Haha!”
Black Hawk, who was alongside him, was stupefied. Ah! Could it be Zarain is also having something in mind? Hmm, I’m sure the higher-ups of our nation are keeping a lot of things under wraps!
Anyway, he knew that he would not have access to any confidential plans of the nation at his current level. He presumed Smythe could obtain first-hand information more easily due to his position as the head of Shield.
After Black Hawk and the others left, everyone from the Lab of Gods wore a look of utter disdain.
One of them snapped, “How ridiculous! How could he say we will sustain great loss because of Levi Garrison? How is it possible for us to lose against him now?”
“I don’t believe his words too! D*mn it! How could he be so confident? I had almost unleashed my wrath at him just now!” the person alongside him fumed.
To all of them, Levi was just a nobody.
“But one thing for sure, Levi Garrison is good at scheming. He might not be able to defeat us in a battle, but I’m worried that he’s manipulating something in the dark. Thus, we can’t let our guards down!” Mr. X explained patiently.
“Yeah, he’s a cunning fellow! Who knows, he’ll blindside us at any moment? Based on my findings, he’s the one who talked the whole world into backing Erudia up!” Another person saw eye to eye with him.
Meanwhile, a few others snorted. “Hmph! He’s apparently playing some underhanded tactics. No doubt, he will turn into a threat bigger than any super Fighters!”
After pondering for a while, they finally agreed that Levi was somewhat a threat.
“Since he’s a major threat to us, why don’t we finish him off right away?” someone pointed out.
“I used to think that it’s easy as pie to kill him, so I was not interested in doing so at that time. Now that he becomes a pain in the ass, it’s time for us to get rid of him!” another member commented confidently.
“You’re right! We can get the matter resolved by assassinating him, isn’t it?” another person suggested.
Everyone took the same stance and felt they should get rid of Levi right away.
“So who should be the one to carry out the assassination?” Mr. X asked warily.
“Just assign anyone. After all, he’s weak as a kitten!” someone replied insolently. Undoubtedly, they tended to underestimate Levi’s combat prowess!
After scanning them, Mr. X made up his mind and instructed, “Lucifer, I assign you to carry out this mission. To play safe, I’ll assign another three people to go with you. Jester King, Kraken, and Hell Witch, I want you to assist him. After all, you are his arch-enemies since you had tried to kill him years ago. I hope you won’t let me down this round!”
Lucifer stepped forward and reassured him, “Noted, Mr. X. I bet Levi Garrison will never expect that we will assassinate him again!”
“But I hope history won’t repeat itself! Don’t end up meeting your end together with him again. I’d be too ashamed to ask Dr. Erebus to save you lot again!” Mr. X reminded.
“Don’t worry. We have enhanced our combat prowess tremendously throughout these years. We’re as powerful as Gods!” The four of them were buoyed with confidence.
After tracking Levi down, they set off to assassinate him, hoping to accomplish the so-called simple mission.
Chapter 2723 Meeting Of Old Friends
Levi had never expected anyone to want to kill him.
On top of that, the person was his old friend.
They had perished together in the past.
After so many years, they were about to meet each other again.
What had Levi been up to all the while?
Obviously, he was not sitting around and doing nothing.
He focused all of his attention on the Lab of Gods.
Now that the Lab of Gods had a headquarters, the whole world knew where they were.
That made things a lot easier for Levi.
However, his focus was on Sacroria.
That future modern city might be intimidating to the world, but it meant nothing to Levi.
What worried him the most was Sacroria.
As long as Sacroria did not show up, he would not reveal his true abilities.
At that moment, he was coordinating the whole situation in the command center.
“I think I will go and take a spin around Keerea and Raysonia. I’m sure there will be suspicious activities going on in these areas!”
Levi was going to check those two places in person.
He brought along no one else other than Mutant Number Three and Fearsome Number Four.
They would be his assistants.
The others had been sent out to do their errands.
The most important thing right now was to keep an eye on the futuristic city of the Lab of Gods.
The moment they arrived at the shores of Raysonia, Fearsome Number Four sent out a signal immediately.
Concurrently, Mutant Number Three became alert and got ready for battle.
It became apparent that someone was coming.
Levi laughed out loud.
Likewise, he could feel four terrifying auras traveling at lightning speed under the sea.
They were coming rapidly in his direction.
The abilities of those four might not be less than those who had been evolved such as Eustace.
Their combat powers seemed to have been magnified in the sea.
He had no doubt that their abilities should be above that of Eustace and the others.
They were much more powerful!
They must be from the Lab of Gods!
Are they here to kill me?
Levi was in shock!
It had never crossed his mind that someone would come to kill him.
There was no reason for anyone to do that.
After all, he was a weakling in everybody’s mind until now.
Levi finally understood.
After becoming the Commander, he became a threat to the Lab of Gods.
That was why they wanted him to be killed.
Apart from that, Levi could not come up with any other reason.
Mutant Number Three and Fearsome Number Four could sense the impending danger, and they were ready to fight.
Instead, Levi waved his hand.
He wanted to see who they were before making a move.
After around ten minutes later, there was a change in the sea all of a sudden.
A huge whirlpool appeared underneath Levi’s ship and engulfed the ship.
It was as if the entire sea was boiling.
The whirlpool rose from the sea and raised Levi’s ship up in the air.
They were a few hundred meters above the sea.
It was truly frightening.
If that had happened to other people, they would have freaked out.
Boom!
That was followed by a loud sound.
The whirlpool and the huge waves had disappeared.
Levi’s ship descended immediately and landed on the surface of the sea with an enormous splash.
Once the ship had stabilized itself, four figures had already appeared on the deck.
They were Jester King, Lucifer, and two others.
“Old friend, it has been a while!” greeted Lucifer.
The rest of them smiled eagerly and eyed Levi like a lamb who was waiting to be slaughtered.
It was a joyous occasion to meet old friends indeed.
Levi was thrilled too. “I didn’t expect to see all of you! This is such a coincidence!”
Although he had detected their presence much earlier on, he was unable to identify them because they were sheathed by Kraken’s superpower since they were traveling in the ocean.
It had been difficult for him to determine the identities of the other three.
Right now, he finally got to meet them.
Levi was very excited as well.
He did not expect to see his old friends (or foe)!
What a coincidence!
“Hahahaha!”
Levi laughed out loud suddenly.
He had initially felt a little bored. All of a sudden, things became much more interesting to him.
If others were to witness the current scene, they would have thought that both parties were good old friends.
Chapter 2724 Such Weak Gods
Right from the beginning, both parties had been laughing.
Levi asked, “Back when both of us died together, did someone save you?”
Lucifer replied with an air of arrogance, “Technically, I was being resurrected! This is not something that mere mortals can comprehend! We are Gods! Understand?”
“That’s right! Levi, in the past, we were half mortals and half Gods! Now, we are Gods!” added Jester King.
In their present states, their abilities were terrifying, to say the least.
In another word, their bloodlines were getting purer. Theirs were almost comparable to those of their ancestors.
People from the Ancient Clans possessed destructive powers and various talents from the time they were born.
In the later stage, their bloodlines became adulterated, and the powers of their various abilities became weaker as well.
However, with the help of the Lab of Gods, Hell Witch and Kraken had become atavistic.
Their bloodlines began to become more similar to those of their first ancestors, and that was why their powers had become stronger.
They were about to attain the same level as the first generation of their ancestors.
That was why they dared to address themselves as Gods.
It was the same reason why the Lab of Gods was now known as Diviniteria.
Because all of its people were divine!
Right now, Lucifer and the others were sizing Levi up as if he was an ant.
If Levi had not become a Commander, they would not have come to kill him.
That would just lower their statuses!
A mere mortal did not warrant such a privilege from Gods.
No way!
“Gods? Hahaha! I have never seen Gods that are so weak! All of you are so shameless! How dare you call yourselves Gods!” Levi jeered at them.
Why does everyone claim themselves to be Gods?
Just because they possess a little power, they think they are above the law and come here to proclaim themselves as Gods?
Who has acknowledged them?
It’s the same with that bunch of jerks from Restricted Area 76!
Now, the Lab of Gods is the same as well!
Ridiculous!
“Levi, this is blasphemy of Gods. Are you aware?”
“Humans are not allowed to lay a finger on or insult Gods!”
“As of now, Diviniteria is about to wipe out the entire world! Everyone is getting down on their knees and revering us as Gods!”
“It’s your greatest honor to be able to die by our hands!”
Levi’s words seemed to have hit their weak spot.
All of them were getting agitated and started to berate Levi.
“Hahaha!” Levi laughed even louder.
This group of people seems to be delusional.
Each one of them thinks of themselves as Gods and keeps showing off.
Levi could not help but laugh.
Jester King felt that they were being humiliated.
All four of them saw red.
They were so irate that their faces flushed.
“Levi, we are giving you a chance! Take your own life! Don’t force us to do it!”
With that, Lucifer threw Levi a knife.
In their eyes, Levi was only a regular person who was unworthy of their efforts.
If Levi ended his own life, it would prove their status as Gods.
“You want me to kill myself because of you? Who the hell do you think you are?” said Levi coldly.
Mutant Number Three and Fearsome Number Four, who were standing next to Levi, could feel his immense anger.
Just as they were about to make their moves, Levi stopped them. “If it was other insignificant insects, both of you can do it! I will deal with these myself and put an end to everything!”
Looking at the insolent Levi, Jester King and the rest of them were stunned.
He is going to fight us all by himself?
Is he sure?
A mere mortal wants to fight against Gods? Is he crazy?
They knew Levi’s abilities all too well.
Is he asking for it?
Bang!
Levi locked eyes with Lucifer and said, “Last time, I allowed others to save you! But, today, I won’t let that happen again!”
At that moment, Lucifer felt an overwhelming pressure coming at him.
Chapter 2725 Insulting God
Amazing! It was unbelievable prowess!
Lucifer was stunned beyond words, as were the other three.
They could not fathom how and when Levi became so powerful.
To the people at Lab of Gods, they had always seen Levi as a weakling, a nobody. He was so insignificant that even their newbies felt it was beneath them and a waste of their time to fight against him.
Due to their earlier impression of Levi, they found his sudden display of energy and power shocking and unbelievable.
The main obstacle in their bid to get rid of Levi had been the elites that were guarding him. When their men found out those elites were not around and Levi was finally alone, they immediately came for him.
They were expecting an easy kill but instead, found out that nothing couldn’t be further from the truth.
In a flash, before Lucifer and his team could recover from the shock, Levi was already standing right in front of them.
Slap!
His strike hit Kraken directly on the chest, and the impact was so tremendous that Kraken’s head instantly exploded and the body crumbled into tiny fragments. It was such a quick death that his body disintegrated before he could even make a yelp.
Kraken was supposed to be the Lord of the Sea and invincible in the waters. However, just one strike from Levi and he was turned into fine dust and disappeared forever into the sea.
Boom!
Levi did not give his opponents a chance to register what had happened, and in a blink of an eye, his next strike was already in Hell Witch’s face.
Crack, crack, crack…
Instantly, countless cracks appeared on her body. Her organs melted and gushed from the cracks like the flowing lava of an active volcano.
Argh…..!
Hell Witch let out a heart-wrenching scream, and her body disintegrated with a loud explosive burst, leaving behind a trail of flames.
The outcome was beyond anyone’s wildest imaginations, and all present were dumbfounded.
Levi managed to dispose of two God-class elites with only two strikes!
Kraken’s demise was especially shocking, as he was supposed to be invincible in the waters.
The fact that he was killed by a single strike from weakling Levi made it even more unreal.
By the time Hell Witch exploded with a scream, Lucifer and Jester King were already out of their daze and realized something was different with Levi. They decided to make a dash for their lives.
Boom!
Jester King shot countless poker cards at Levi in an attempt to stall his advance toward them.
Swoosh!
Unfortunately, Levi seemed to be able to move with humanly impossible speed, and in a split second, he was in front of Lucifer and Jester King, blocking their escape route.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Levi reached out and restrained them by their necks, one in each hand.
His powerful grip immobilized them, and they were at his mercy. They could not make a single move and were not able to execute their incredible prowess.
All the magnificent skills they possessed were of no use as they had lost control over their body and strength. They realized they had no ability to put up even a limp struggle.
They had prided themselves on being a league above the commoner. They were pure breed descendants of the Ancient Clans, blessed with superpowers. It was humiliating to see that a commoner like Levi could control them in a single hand. That was the biggest insult to Lab of Gods!
They had no way to vent their pent-up frustration as they could not even muster any strength to scream!
It was madly frustrating for the two!
They were going through a crazy emotional roller-coaster on the inside, but physically they were still and limp as a rag.
The feeling of helplessness was torturous, and it was even more insulting that their tormentor was someone they had dismissed as a pushover.
How dare you humiliate us like this?
They gave Levi a murderous death glare and cursed and swore at him in their hearts.
Chapter 2726 You Are Not The First
All they could do was helplessly bear with the torment.
When Levi loosened his grip on them, they could finally utter a sound. Despite knowing it would be a futile struggle, they still went on to bark their head off.
“How dare you, Levi?”
“Do you know what is the consequence of fighting against Gods?”
Lucifer and Jester King started hurling lame threats at Levi.
“Not only am I going to fight against you, but I am also going to kill you!” Levi sneered at them in return.
“Kill us? Kill Gods? Do you have the guts to do that? And do you really think you are capable of doing that?” they shouted.
It was an abhorrent thought that a commoner could kill Gods!
They could not accept the idea that was a possible feat, despite having witnessed Hell Witch and Kraken’s demise.
Levi laughed out loud and said, “I have bad news for you then. You will not be the first God I kill. I have lost count, but there should be at least a few hundred before you!”
It wasn’t an empty boast, as Levi had not bothered to make a count of his victims at Restricted Area 76.
“What?” Jester King and Lucifer shouted out in shock and fear upon hearing that.
They could tell Levi was not lying and meant every single word he just said.
Did he really do that?
They looked on in disbelief as Levi continued, “The last time I met some guys who called themselves Gods, I finished them off. You are next!”
“What?” Intelligent as they were, Jester King and Lucifer instantly pieced the puzzle together and realized Levi was referring to those guys at Restricted Area 76.
So those guys are gone?
They had seen Levi’s men in action and thought they were responsible, but at that moment, they realized how badly they had misjudged Levi.
All the missing pieces of puzzles fell in place, and everything made perfect sense after they realized Levi was the one!
Sadly, the truth did not matter anymore. Levi coldly uttered, “Adios, my dear friends!”
Crack! Crack!
With that farewell, he tightened his grip on their neck. His mighty inner strength crushed them into such fine powder that they disappeared totally, gone with the winds.
Jester King, Lucifer, Hell Witch, and Kraken would not have dreamt that the ‘simple’ mission they went on would be their last.
Who would have thought a weakling like Levi could kill them? It was unthinkable and unbelievable!
The four excitedly went on the mission thinking it would be an easy one. They never thought that would be their last trip together, and that it would be a journey to hell.
After eliminating the four, Levi laughed and mocked, “Hahaha! Let’s see how you can do revival this time! God? Go ahead and boast all you want, but you are fallible and mortal just like everyone else!”
Mutant Number Three and Fearsome Number Four laughed out loud too, jeering at those self-proclaimed Gods.
They were just humans of a different race.
It was naive of them to think they were superior compared to others, and that everyone should bow humbly before them.
“If you were Gods, then what am I?” Levi sneered.
Although he was not supposed to show off his prowess until Sacroria appeared, he reasoned he could not sit still and be slaughtered by these four who were out to take his life. That was why he fought back.
He reckoned no one would know about it, as he hadn’t given them any chance to send out any distress signals.
What was done cannot be undone. Although he should only openly display his prowess in his fight against Sacroria, but since no one witnessed his killings, no one would know if he kept mum.
After finishing off the four elites from Lab of Gods, Levi continued with his monitoring of Raysonia, and behaved like nothing unusual had happened.
Back in Diviniteria, chaos was brewing.
“Hmmm… Are they not back yet?”
“It has been a long time. They should have successfully killed Levi and be back by now.”
Everyone was waiting for Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken to return, and when they did not turn up within a reasonable time, the team began to worry.
“I hope nothing went wrong during their mission…” Their pals were getting anxious.
Mr. X coolly retorted, “If it was only one of them, I may worry a little. But I sent four of them together on the mission, so what could possibly go wrong? Who could be a worthy opponent to them?”
His subordinates thought that made perfect sense and ceased to worry for the four. After all, they knew how powerful the four were and believed they would be invincible as a team.
An hour went past. Then the next.
The four were still missing even five hours after the expected time of return!
Chapter 2727 No Giving Up
Lucifer and his team were not back yet and did not dispatch any news to Diviniteria. Their friends back at Diviniteria were unsettled. Even Mr. X couldn’t stay calm and collected anymore.
He wasn’t too worried when they were late for a couple of hours, but to be delayed for five hours and not send any updates was simply not their usual style.
Looked like they had met with a mishap.
Soon, Diviniteria was rife with speculations and rumors.
“They can’t possibly have difficulty in dealing with Levi, can they?”
“Is Levi so powerful that the four of them could not finish him off?”
“How is that possible? Don’t we all know what Levi was capable of? Any one of them could have finished him off, let alone four of them working as a team!”
“Don’t tell me something was wrong in our intelligence gathering? Could it be that instead of the news we received that Levi was alone and unprotected, he was actually surrounded and guarded by many of his fighters?”
Someone threw up another possible scenario but was quickly shot down by another.
“That wouldn’t explain! Even if Levi had his fighters protecting him, it would not make any difference. Even if they were of Divine Brigadier’s caliber, they would not have been able to save Levi. Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken would have still been able to finish Levi off and escape unscathed!”
Everyone at Lab of God had unwavering faith in the capabilities of Jester King and his other three mates.
They had a pretty good idea of the abilities of the fighters of Erudia and knew it was impossible they could kill or trap the four elites from the Lab of Gods.
“Something else must have happened! Get someone to check it out this instant. See if there is news of Levi’s death, or if there are any unusual movements in Erudia!” Mr. X ordered.
The sophisticated intelligence network of Diviniteria went to work immediately, and within a few minutes, they came back with updates.
“That is strange! There is no unusual news coming from Erudia, and not a single change in their defense movement and deployment!”
That surprising news astounded everyone.
“What? Nothing? If something bad had happened to Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken, that news will definitely result in a huge uproar in Erudia. Yet you are telling us nothing unusual is detected in Erudia?”
Something was definitely amiss!
“Levi is still patrolling around Raysonia. Looks like he has not met Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken!”
Another update came in, and the news left everyone dumbfounded.
That meant Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken had mysteriously disappeared and did not head to Erudia nor went to confront Levi!
Lab of Gods’ intelligence department had tapped into all their channels, but none of them came back with any news of the four nor any leads that could point to where they could be.
As the four had tapped on Kraken’s superpowers and left for the mission via the underwater route, they left no detectable traces of their movement aboveground.
All the evidence pointed to only one possibility. After setting off for their mission, they had disappeared into the sea before they could reach Erudia or kill Levi.
It had been more than seven hours after their expected return, and they were still missing in action.
Mr. X was not about to give up on his four top subordinates, so he sent out more people to search on the open seas. Even if he could not find them alive, he would want to know what had happened to them.
“What about Levi?” someone asked.
After all, the four had set out to kill Levi, but he was still alive, so they could possibly gather some clues from him.
“That’s right! If we want to know whether their disappearance had anything to do with Levi, then we should send someone after Levi again! We can combine the mission to kill Levi with our search for Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken!” It was a great plan that could kill two birds with one stone.
“That’s right! Levi has to die! It would also be a good opportunity to find out if their disappearance had anything to do with him,” concurred Mr. X.
The next problem would be to identify the fighter to send on the new mission. The four who disappeared were highly skilled, so the next person had to be more powerful than them in order to successfully accomplish the mission and send back useful intelligence.
After glancing through the room, Mr. X’s gaze fell on someone standing in a corner.
He was fully covered in a black battle suit, and only his piercing dark eyes were visible.
The sight of him reminded one of the black hole. He had such an intense aura that one would involuntarily want to keep a distance from him for fear of suffocation.
Chapter 2728 Great Void
Great Void! Or maybe he should be addressed as Void God since everyone at Lab of God self-proclaimed themselves to be Gods!
Great Void was born with devastating supernatural power. All living things that got close to him would have their vitality and energy sucked from them until they become limp corpses.
He could even physically draw in the living things and make them disappear into his body, a body that seemed to have an infinite capacity. Soon, everyone avoided him like the plague.
It was only after he met Dr. Erebus that he saw hope. Dr. Erebus helped him gain the ability to control his power.
His superpower was similar to the power of Erudia’s Divine Extraction Technique, except that his ability was not a cultivated skill but a natural inborn talent.
The gist of both Divine Extraction Technique and his talent was the same. Both enabled the person to become stronger by consuming or taking in other people’s power and energy.
Great Void, with his inherited advantage of being able to take in an unlimited amount of energy, was the reason the Lab of Gods could conduct experiments to improve Karsten’s biological body. Previously, Karsten had suffered badly from the side effects of consuming too much energy while executing the Divine Extraction Technique.
With the help of Great Void, they could safely conduct countless experiments to finetune the Divine Extraction Technique and tweak Karsten’s bodily structure in order to overcome the biggest flaw of the Divine Extraction Technique.
There was no telling how Great Void compared with mastery of the highest level of the Divine Extraction Technique, but he was definitely a league above Karsten.
And he was also way more formidable than Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken combined.
After all, even opponents stronger than him had to fear him as they risked being devoured by him!
His was a terrifying superpower as he need not fear being the weaker party. All he had to do was ingest his opponents!
Mr. X had no concerns about sending Great Void on the mission to kill Levi. They fixed some tracking devices on him so he could send back timely updates. They would also be able to track his position when necessary.
After that, Great Void set off for Raysonia while the Lab of Gods continued their unsuccessful search for the missing four in the seas.
In the meantime, Levi kept to his routine around Raysonia, gathering information to see if Raysonia had any intention of surrendering.
Diviniteria had become too powerful and arrogant, and had no wish to work with anyone else. One could only choose to surrender and be under their command and control if they did not wish to be their enemies.
Countries like Keerea and Raysonia were stumped by Diviniteria’s unyielding attitude. If Diviniteria had given them other options of cooperation, they would have rushed over to their side. Surrender wasn’t an easy decision to make, and that was why they were still in a fix and hesitating over their next move.
Levi was hoping Keerea, Raysonia, and all the neighboring countries could join forces to fight against the Lab of Gods, so he decided to initiate a discussion with them.
“Gather the heads of Keerea, Raysonia, and the neighboring countries in my name for a meeting!” he ordered.
The invited heads were quick to respond to the invitation and went to the island to meet Levi.
That proved Levi’s assessment of the situation correct. None of them wanted to surrender, and they were desperate for alternatives. Otherwise, they would not have been so eager to meet up with Levi.
There were lively discussions during the meeting.
“We must have a viable option before deciding not to surrender!”
“That’s right! We can definitely work together, but even if we don’t have full confidence we can defeat them, at the very least, we must be strong enough to have a fighting chance.”
“If we are likely to lose, then why bother to put up a futile fight? In that case, we might as well choose to surrender instead. We will end up as slaves, but at least our people get to stay alive!”
They were quick to come to a consensus and stated their condition.
“So long as we have a fighting chance, we are willing to join forces. However, we need proof that we have some hope of defending ourselves. That is not too much to ask for, is it?”
Levi couldn’t help but smile. He confidently said, “Don’t worry! I have a plan, and Erudia has elites who could handle the confrontation!”
“You?” Everyone casted a doubtful eye on Levi.
“Do you think I can be a Commander if I have no ability and trump cards in my hand?” Levi threw them a question instead.
The heads were briefly taken aback by his question. After some consideration, they thought it was valid reasoning.
Levi was so calm and collected, so he had to have some trump cards in hand.
Just as they reached an agreement and were about to commit to an allies agreement, Levi’s face suddenly fell.
Chapter 2729 Levi Chickens Out
Someone is here again!
Levi had already detected the arrival of his foe, surprised that the Lab of Gods had moved so quickly and had sent another fighter to take his life so soon.
Mutant Number Three and Fearsome Number Four senses also alerted them to the arrival of an unfriendly party.
Although the heads of the few countries gathered on the island had fighters with them, those fighters were far from being elites and were still clueless about the approaching dangers.
Soon, a powerful voice boomed through the air. “Meet your end, Levi!”
The skies above the island changed instantly as if a sudden storm had arrived.
The fighters that came with the heads of the many countries immediately went into high alert mode and gathered around their respective bosses as they scanned around for the source of the disturbance.
In a flash, a dark figure appeared, darting across the air like a firebolt.
Great Void had made his appearance.
His presence brought an eerie and dark mood. It was as if a black hole had appeared and was ready to swallow everything near it.
The heads panicked and instinctively ran away from the sudden intruder.
It was only when they were a safe distance away that they stopped to take a good look at Great Void.
“Stop him!” Keerea’s head shouted an order, and the fighters surrounding him immediately charged toward Great Void.
Buzz…
A horrifying scene unfolded! Those fighters were instantly devoured by Great Void, and all that was left of them were their skeletons.
It was a spine-chilling sight and everyone gasped in horror.
Right before their very eyes, their compatriots were devoured alive!
“He is from the Lab of Gods! Retreat! Quick!”
Many fighters were still valiantly trying to fend off Great Void, but they all met a tragic end.
The casualty count was mounting as none of them could stand up to Great Void’s power.
Some of them attempted to use their sophisticated weapons on Great Void, but to their astonishment, he could devour even such weaponries.
All these high-tech weapons could not harm him and he easily fended off their attacks. And without fail, the attackers were devoured.
Everyone panicked as that was their first encounter with the Lab of Gods’ elite fighters, and chaos ensued.
A moment ago, they were discussing plans to counter Lab of Gods. Without any warning, their opponents came attacking and showed them the destructive powers they possessed.
The hope they had a minute ago that an alliance could defend themselves from the Lab of Gods’ attacks was gone, and everyone felt dejected.
The instinct of most people was to flee, but their heads stayed put instead.
They had their gaze intently fixed on Levi, clearly signaling to him to resolve that crisis and prove to them what he had just promised.
They wanted to see how Levi was going to handle the situation.
Alas, to everyone’s surprise, Levi fled instead!
He jumped into the sea, swam to the nearest boat and fled!
Those on the island were speechless.
It was only a short while ago that Levi bragged about having trump cards to counter the Lab of Gods, painting a rosy picture for all of them.
The next moment, when the Lab of Gods came attacking, he was the first to flee!
Everyone was stunned by his action and stood there dumbfounded.
Even Great Void was taken aback by the unexpected twist in the event.
Before he embarked on the mission, he was a little worried. He rehearsed different scenarios in his head, and he was concerned Levi would be too much for him to handle.
He also came prepared that Levi probably had top fighters protecting him.
After all, no one could discount the possibility that Levi had a part to play in Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken’s disappearance.
He came with a cautious heart, but the outcome was so bizarre that he couldn’t come to terms with it for a moment.
Levi fled at the first possible chance? That was a scenario he had never thought of!
However, on second thought, it was a logical decision for Levi.
When faced with an opponent so strong that you stood no chance against him, the only rational thing to do was to flee!
Who in the right mind would stay and face certain death?
When Great Void transmitted the visuals back to the Lab of Gods, his team was briefly taken aback by what they saw too. Then, there was a sigh of relief from all.
Levi’s action was perfectly normal and rational. He made the right decision to flee!
“Void God, your mission is to kill Levi. Leave the rest alone!” Mr. X ordered.
“Understood. My target is only Levi!”
Chapter 2730 Deja Vu
Levi fled. Mutant Number Three and Fearsome Number Four also fled.
Those left on the island could only bemoan their reaction was too slow and was left behind to face the music.
“You idiot, Levi! This son of a b*tch actually left us and fled by himself! What a great display of loyalty!”
“Is this the trump card you are talking about? You are only making use of us to stall the enemies so you have ample time to flee!”
They were mad that they were not as quick as Levi, and were left to face the vengeance of Great Void.
They reckoned they were in big trouble and could be imprisoned on the island by Lab of Gods.
All of them were cursing and swearing at Levi, and had lost all hope of being able to get away alive.
However, another surprise twist greeted them.
Great Void totally ignored them and charged in the direction of Levi’s escape.
Huh?
What is happening?
He is leaving us alone?
Are we that worthless in their eyes?
Everyone was puzzled by Great Void’s decision until someone said, “Maybe he came specifically for Levi! When he first appeared, he was shouting for Levi to meet his end!”
“So we were plain unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?”
That realization was a relief to everyone present.
“Levi is such a scumbag! He is the one who invited the trouble, yet he is also the first to flee, leaving us to deal with his sh*t!”
“Let’s leave quickly as well while we can! Who knows what might happen after this?”
With that reminder, everyone hurriedly left the island and headed home.
Great Void was in pursuit of the fleeing Levi.
“There is no escape from me, Levi!” he shouted.
The Lab of Gods team was excited and pleased with the development. Levi’s show of cowardice proved that their judgment of him was accurate. Also, it meant the disappearance of their four elites had nothing to do with Levi.
It did not take long for Great Void to catch up with Levi. Before he could launch an attack, Levi jumped into the water and disappeared into the deep ocean.
Great Void was not about to let him off, so he immediately followed suit.
Levi was swift in the waters and managed to keep a decent distance from Great Void.
The chase was immensely frustrating for Great Void. He had great pride in his own prowess, and the fact that he had failed to kill Levi so far was an insult to him.
The thought of him being mocked over failing to kill Levi was too much for him to bear.
His frustration clouded his judgment, and he kept pursuing without pausing to rethink his strategy.
“Be careful! Levi could be luring you into danger!” Mr. X shouted a warning. He had a bad premonition as the chase dragged on and went from above ground to underwater.
However, emotions and frustrations had overruled Great Void’s reasoning, and he ignored all the warnings. His mind was fixated on catching up with Levi and killing him.
The two swam at such a high speed that there was a lag in the visuals sent from his devices back to the Lab of Gods.
Great Void lost track of time and after swimming for an unknown period of time, he found himself in the abyss of the ocean.
The surroundings got dimmer, and the environment became more hostile.
However, Levi showed no sign of stopping, and of course, Great Void would continue to go after him.
As he gave chase, in an attempt to slow Levi down, he started sucking in everything in his path.
With that action, the ocean floor became badly messed up and had no semblance of normalcy.
Great Void was determined to catch up with Levi at all costs, and he had no qualms about destroying everything in his path.
Mr. X became uneasy as he watched the visuals transmitted from Great Void’s devices.
“This place seems so familiar, but I could not recall where I have seen it before! Where is this place?” He frowned as he mumbled with concern.
“Yes, I find it familiar too! But I also can’t remember where I saw it before!”
“That’s right! I am sure we know this place! It should be in an area we have explored before!”
“Everyone pay attention and try to recall!”
The team chipped in in agreement.
Mr. X rubbed his chin, contemplated for a moment, and made a quick decision. “Track their position now!”
“Roger! Give me half a minute!”
