Ch. 2731..2740
Chapter 2731 Same Tactic
“Oh no! This is not looking good!”
Thirty seconds later, the Lab of Gods was in panic mode.
“The location they are at is…”
Before the tracker could finish his sentence, Mr. X suddenly thought of something and blurted out, “Don’t tell me it is the same area where the Leviathans disappeared?”
“You are right! It is the same location!” The tracker confirmed Mr. X’s biggest worry.
That terrible news stunned everyone momentarily, then they started to cry out loud.
“What? Levi is leading Great Void into that place as well?”
“That is terrible! Great Void is in deep trouble!”
“No wonder we found it so familiar! So it is that place!”
“Why did we not recognize it earlier?” one of them bemoaned.
“Firstly, Void God is swimming at a high speed, so the visuals look different compared to the last time. Also, he is devouring everything in his path, creating a big mess around the ocean floor. That is why we find it familiar but cannot identify it immediately!”
That explanation was logical and no one disputed it.
Mr. X put two and two together and exclaimed, “Now I think I know where Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken are. Otherwise, it is quite impossible we could not find any traces of them after searching high and low!”
“You mean they were also lured to that place and ended up being trapped there just like the Leviathans?”
Mr. X nodded and said, “That is right! That is Erudia’s trump card! Within their territory, there is this place with mysterious powers. Every time they lose out in terms of capability, they lure their opponents to that region and trap them there!”
“That explains it! How else can we explain why our mighty four disappear without a trace, and why none of our search teams could find any clues with regard to their disappearance? Obviously, they are also trapped in the same place as the Leviathans!”
The reasoning was logical, and everyone was convinced.
The mystery of their disappearance was solved! They concluded Levi had lured Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken to that strange region and trapped them there.
“Oh no! Void God!”
“Make Void God stop and turn back! He should be getting near the region where we lost contact with the Leviathans. We are going to lose him as well if he crosses over to that area!”
“Quick! Send out a message to stop him!” Mr. X ordered.
The message was sent, but someone pointed out a technical issue.
“Due to the normal interferences, and also the fact that Great Void is traveling at a very high speed, there is a time lag of about a minute between the time the actual event occurs and the time we receive the visuals and information. If we take that into consideration, he should have already reached the location where the Leviathans gave out their last signal.”
Boom!
That revelation was a bolt from the blue and everyone was shaken up by that terrible news.
Their worst fear materialized when a few seconds later, they lost contact with Great Void.
The devices on Void God could not be detected in the Lab of Gods’ system anymore, meaning they have lost connection with him. It was a repeat of history, as the exact thing had happened with the Leviathans.
“This is bad! We are in big trouble now!”
Void God was the ultimate weapon they had planned to use against the world when they launch their world war.
With him leading the way with his infinite devouring power, no one could stand a chance against them.
It was infuriating that he became trapped at this crucial moment.
Losing Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch and Kraken was already unbearable. To lose Great Void as well was an epic disaster.
“So what should we do now?’
The people at the Lab of Gods were at their wits’ end.
“We need to pinpoint that exact location. Make that our top priority! That place is going to be Erudia’s trump card! Once we find the place, we need to gain control over that region. Even if we cannot decipher the secret to that mysterious power, we can prevent Erudia from accessing and using that to their advantage,” Mr. X ordered.
Then he sighed, “As for Void God, there is nothing we can do for him. He is on his own now. I hope he can escape from that place…”
Chapter 2732 He Knew The Secrets
The orders Mr. X issued were sadly his only option. There was nothing they could do for Great Void at that moment.
“Noted. I will see to that immediately. We will guard the place so they can forget about using it again!”
That was the only thing Lab of Gods could do.
Indeed, Levi was luring Void God to the area where Atlantis was.
He knew the Lab of Gods came fully prepared and would have some backup plans.
They sent Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken together as a team, and after they failed, the Lab of Gods would have sent a more powerful and better-equipped person.
He could not risk showing off his prowess in front of so many people on the island.
Before the appearance of Sacroria, he was not supposed to engage in any fights.
That was the reason he fled. He needed to lure Great Void to a deserted place to finish him off.
It would be regretful if Great Void was alert and realized where Levi was leading him, foiling his plan. However, if he did not, then Levi would have succeeded and could eliminate Great Void without anyone’s knowledge.
During the chase, Levi used psychological warfare to tease Great Void and made him emotional. That would cloud his judgment and make him give chase at all costs.
As expected, Great Void fell for that and relentlessly went after Levi.
He entered the zone where the Leviathans vanished, swam swiftly through the tunnel, and after a long while, the two arrived at where Project Atlantis was.
All of a sudden, Levi stopped and stayed still, and allowed Great Void to catch up with him.
Great Void was amazed by the grandiose sight in front of him as he got near.
“This…”
Even someone like him, who came from a technologically advanced organization such as the Lab of Gods, was stunned by what he saw.
Who could have known there was this whole new world in such a deserted place?
“Huh?”
Soon, something shocking caught his eyes. He saw tracks left by the Leviathans.
Although Levi had pierced the sword through all the Leviathans, causing them to explode into tiny fragments, traces of their earlier presence could still be seen on site.
It was painfully obvious at that particular site as the Leviathans were huge, and there were more than three thousands of them there…
“Don’t tell me… this is not…”
At that moment, Great Void suddenly realized where he was!
Could this be where the Leviathans were trapped? And they all perished here? Not even a single one survived? So Dr. Erebus was right! All the Leviathans had perished!
Great Void wanted to rush back to the Lab of Gods to tell them that shocking news!
The Leviathans were not only trapped but they were all killed!
Great Void wondered who did that. He found it hard to believe that Erudia had such capabilities and was able to kill the Leviathans.
Immediately the two mysterious entities of Erudia that Mr. X mentioned came to mind.
Is it them? Have they resurfaced?
At that moment, Great Void deeply regretted being rash and giving chase blindly. He realized there was a chance he may not get to leave that place.
He had no recollection of the route he took to that exact location as that place was like a confusing maze with lots of complex twists and turns. He had regained his rationality and knew that without a map, it would be impossible to find a way out. He had been lured to a secluded place.
Despite being in a dangerous situation, he set his worries aside and focused on his mission. His eyes locked in on his target, Levi.
Levi gradually turned around and looked at him smilingly.
“Why did you stop fleeing? Why don’t you go on? Sadly, your fate is sealed, and there is no escape for you. I don’t care where this place is. I will finish you off first!” Great Void wasted no time and launched an attack on Levi after briefly mocking him.
Boom!
He threw out a punch with all his might, but to his surprise, Levi casually waved his arm and neutralized all the power!
“You… Don’t tell me… you are actually such a mighty fighter?”
Great Void quickly realized he was faced with a big headache. He had no doubt there was a mistake in the intelligence collected by the Lab of Gods. Levi was not the weakling they thought he was! On the contrary, he was a magnificent fighter!
“Unfortunately, it is me you have to deal with, so you are still destined to die!” Great Void let out a big roar, turned himself into a hurricane, and started to draw Levi toward him.
Levi tried to resist the pull but realized it was no ordinary pull. It was an exceptionally powerful force, and it was drawing in not only his physical body but also draining him of his power and vitality.
“This…”
His face fell as he made a feeble attempt to fight against the force.
Chapter 2733 Pray For A More Powerful Opponent
What caught Levi by surprise was that Great Void’s devouring superpower was different from the power of the Divine Extraction Technique.
Since Great Void first displayed his prowess on the island, Levi knew he had devouring powers. He thought it was similar to the Divine Extraction Technique and would suck away some of his power and energy.
However, upon contact, he found out he was mistaken and was shaken by Great Void’s power.
Great Void’s devouring power was much more horrifying than expected. He could devour everything! That included one’s energy, physical body, spirits, and soul as well!
The biggest challenge was the loss of consciousness that Levi felt as Great Void started taking in his spirits.
Nothing could escape from Great Void as he could take in anything and everything!
That was the major difference between Great Void’s superpower and that of the Divine Extraction Technique.
If someone who mastered the highest level of the Divine Extraction Technique was there, he could suck out all the energy from the surrounding environment.
On the contrary, Great Void could do that plus devour the whole of the Atlantis infrastructure and everything around it.
Given sufficient time, Project Atlantis could disappear into Great Void’s body once he unleashed his power.
Seeing Levi being slowly drawn into his own body, Great Void arrogantly laughed out loud. He planned to consume the whole of Levi, then head back to the Lab of Gods to report on the secret of Erudia and Levi. He could not wait to become the hero of Diviniteria!
He got impatient and exerted more might to speed up his devouring process.
However, a split second later, he realized Levi was no longer present! He seemed to have vanished into thin air!
He initially thought he had consumed Levi fully, but on second thought, that was impossible as he knew it would take a while to accomplish that.
Just as he was scratching his head wondering what had happened, a voice boomed from behind him. “What are you thinking? Do you think you can devour me? How is that possible? I am a league above you!”
Levi had gone behind him and was unscathed.
It wasn’t bragging when he said Great Void was not in the same league as he. He had allowed Great Void to devour him as he wanted to experience the difference between Great Void’s superpower and the power of the Divine Extraction Technique.
Once he got that information, he stopped his playact and got away from Great Void’s pulling force.
“Huh?” It was Great Void’s turn to be stunned.
What is that? How is it possible someone can escape from my devouring?
Great Void had full confidence that as long as he wanted to, he could draw in every single item around that place. He couldn’t figure out why Levi was the exception.
“I don’t believe this!”
Great Void launched an attack again and unleashed his devouring power on Levi again.
“Stop doubting! I can twist you around my finger, and make a total fool out of you anytime!”
Buzz, buzz, buzz…
A buzzing sound of vibration rang in Great Void’s ears, and he saw Levi’s body had turned into a brilliant display of gold!
And there were nine silhouettes emerging from him!
That was level Nine, the highest level of Iron Golem Technique!
No matter how hard Great Void tried to draw him in, Levi did not move a single inch.
The Iron Golem Technique had shielded his body from all external influence.
Great Void was bewildered, as he had never encountered such an outcome before.
Previously, there was nothing that could escape his devouring!
This… This… Could this be Iron Golem Technique?
“Argh!” Great Void let out a deafening roar and exerted all his power in a final attempt to devour Levi.
However, Levi remained still as a rock and was totally unaffected by his display of power.
“Disappointingly weak! You are still not a worthy match! I sincerely hope Sacroria would be a stronger and more worthy opponent!” Levi shook his head in disappointment and sighed.
Great Void would be a terrifying opponent for anyone, but to Levi, his skill was merely child’s play.
“Let’s see if you can withstand this energy!”
Buzz…
Boom!
As he stirred up the waters around him, Levi threw out a powerful punch!
Chapter 2734 Expanding The Defense Barrier
“Argh!” Great Void felt a hair-raising destructive force coming toward him, and he gave his all to defend himself. He had never felt so threatened before.
Crack! Crack!
As he took on Levi’s punch, he could see his armor cracking, then his body started to disintegrate into dust.
After eliminating Great Void, Levi let out a self-deprecating laugh and jested, “Looks like this is a good place for a duel. No one would find out who got killed.”
After that, he started looking around for an alternative access route. He needed a backup. In the event the place was discovered, they would need to seal the original access leading to the site.
Levi left via the new exit, and when he went back to the main entry location, he saw the Lab of Gods’ men were patrolling that region and seemed determined to guard that place.
They are quick!
He monitored them briefly, then openly made his way back to his own base.
Lab of Gods was infuriated when they spotted him.
He had returned safely from the ocean but there was no sign of Great Void.
That could only mean one thing.
They believed Great Void was trapped like the Leviathans, and they would not be able to locate him for the time being.
It was an exasperating development, and everyone at the Lab of Gods was hopping mad!
“If we guessed correctly, what had happened to Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, and Kraken was that they were all lured to that mysterious place and disappeared into thin air. Great Void had suffered the same fate. Looks like they are all trapped for the time being.” That was Lab of Gods’ assessment of the situation, and with that conclusion, the mood darkened.
That was bad news for them.
“Does that mean we are going to face more difficulty in killing Levi from now? So long as we send someone after him, he will run toward that mysterious place. There is nothing we can do about him!”
“Yes, we have already made two attempts. He will definitely be on guard now!”
“The biggest threat to us is that mysterious site of Erudia. Spare no efforts and make sure you find out where that place is!” Mr. X was enraged he had lost so many elite fighters within such a short time. The situation forced him to change his plans, and killing Levi could no longer be his top priority.
He put all his available manpower and resources into the search for the mysterious site that they believed had trapped the Leviathans, Lucifer, Jester King, Hell Witch, Kraken, and Great Void.
“We are nearing the end of our seven days grace period. Two more days to go. It is time for us to display our power!”
Lab of Gods began their operations and destroyed more than a dozen of superpowers!
They showcased their previously hidden secret weapons and elite fighters to the world.
Once they unleashed those secret weapons, there was an uproar worldwide.
For the first time, the international community witnessed the mighty powers the Lab of Gods possessed.
Their display of power instilled fear in many of those who were still hesitating, and these entities quickly rushed forward to surrender to them.
Within two short days, those who had previously considered surrendering had done so. Many small countries and rich multinational corporations decided to go under the command of the Lab of Gods.
However, many more chose to fight instead of surrender.
It did not make sense for the whole world to bow to a single organization. It was an atrocious idea that most people rejected.
In order to go against the Lab of Gods, everyone tried to form alliances.
They offered to be allies of big superpowers like Erudia or Xyperia.
The seven days grace period was about to end, and the tension of impending war was getting more intense.
Those who chose to fight were deploying their resources into building up defense barriers.
As it was a crucial life and death moment for everyone, Keerea and Raysonia decided to join forces with Erudia. At the very least, they would not be treated like insignificant slaves.
In the end, even Xyperia formed an alliance with Erudia, and they tentatively appointed Levi as commander of the allied force.
His long list of warfare successes was widely recognized, and no one disputed his abilities.
With so many countries and organizations joining hands, the defense border kept expanding, and they tried to cover as big an area as possible.
They were working in unity and keeping a lookout for one another.
Chapter 2735 Best Time To Attack
Their defense barrier was basically right in front of Diviniteria’s nose.
The funniest thing was that this incredibly wide defense barrier had split up every single one of the main powers that had surrendered to Diviniteria.
They were basically all caught up in Levi’s net.
The moment they opened fire, all of them would be right at Levi’s doorstep.
He could gobble them up at any second.
None of these powers were efficient enough to even come close to the Lab of Gods.
They would be rendered useless once the battle started.
Levi’s defense barrier came as a shock to many people.
The cooperation with Xyperia was even more impressive.
They were really starting to feel like Levi deserved his place as Commander.
It was an amazing card to pull!
The moment he came onto the battlefield, he’d already gotten rid of all of Diviniteria’s lackeys.
By the time they finally realized what was going on, they had already been surrounded.
Levi’s defense barrier was already right in front of Diviniteria’s face.
It was such a concrete, foolproof plan that no one could deny it.
At the same time, Levi was commanding people to bomb the Atlantis entrance heavily.
The members from the Lab of Gods who had been in the search team all got caught in the area of attack and got heavily injured.
Just like that, he had messed up their plan.
Levi didn’t immediately start provoking them from the beginning. He knew he had to wait until they had a plan.
That way, he would truly ruin their spirit and they would have to start all over again.
Right before their new plan came into fruition, Levi would just mess up their plans once again.
He would do this over and over until they finally realized how hopeless it was.
The Lab of Gods were incredibly furious, but they couldn’t do anything about it.
All they could do was sit there and take it.
Levi’s sudden attack came as a surprise to them as well.
They had thought that Erudia would use this chance to strengthen their defenses and build stronger walls around the area or something.
They hadn’t expected for Levi to suddenly attack instead. Apart from the fact that he didn’t actually fight any battles, it was basically all offense.
No one had seen this coming.
Levi enlarged the defense barrier so that it consumed eighty percent of the world.
Not only did he cut off all of the major powers, he also was using it as a knife to hold up Diviniteria.
He was waiting for everyone else to react.
Levi had already finished up his business with all of the departments so quickly that even the Lab of Gods didn’t have the chance to react.
Everyone on Erudia’s side was cheering wildly for Levi’s genius move.
The Lab of Gods were in a furious frenzy.
“Did you see that? That’s the scary part about Levi! He’s still a threat to us despite being in this condition. We’re already gods and he’s just a normal person, and yet he’s the one who posed the biggest threat to us.”
All of them were gritting their teeth toward Levi in anger.
Now, all of their lackeys and subordinates were completely under Levi’s control.
That basically rendered them useless.
According to the defense barrier, he was already at their very throats.
After this, it was more likely that Levi’s side would start attacking before the Lab of Gods would.
Even though they tried to kill Levi beforehand, they still ended up failing.
What else could they do?
After settling the defense barrier, Levi called for a meeting with all of the respective leaders from all the countries.
These were all his lieutenants and all of them listened to their commands.
“We need to grab the opportunity to attack before the Lab of Gods does. That’s the only way we can initiate things so that we won’t get swept up along the way. Also, if we start attacking first, we can get a rough idea of the Lab of Gods’ actual capabilities,” Levi said.
All of them nodded in agreement.
“When will we attack?” someone asked.
“I personally feel like we should attack six hours later on the dot. That way, we can definitely act before the Lab of Gods,” the representative from Zarain said.
Everybody nodded again in agreement.
Levi replied, “Yup, I agree. Six hours is the prime time for the attack.”
Chapter 2736 Attacking The Lab Of Gods
Right as everyone was starting to look hopeful and waiting for Levi to announce the official attack time as six hours when he suddenly said, “Wait! I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“What?” Everyone stared in shock.
None of them knew what Levi meant.
“To me, the best time to attack is right now.”
The moment Levi said that, everyone was in shock.
“Spread the word. Attack the Lab of Gods immediately!”
Levi’s command sent the whole room into another frenzy.
Immediately?
None of them even had time to react!
However, they soon realized what exactly he was trying to do.
He was solving a complicated problem with a very simple solution.
The more time they took, the more changes there were that could happen.
Even if the most suitable time was six hours later, they couldn’t guarantee that nothing would change in that span of six hours.
For example, a possible undercover who could leak their information to the enemy and give the Lab of Gods enough time to prepare or ambush them.
The moment they had too much time in between, there were too many variables that could change everything.
That’s why they had to move immediately to prevent anything from changing.
Levi’s sudden tactics impressed a lot of people.
Their eyes were sparkling with admiration.
That was Levi’s whole idea: to attack them first so that the Lab of Gods could be pushed out of the game as soon as possible.
That was his whole goal.
If possible, he wanted to force Sacroria out of hiding.
“Let’s go! It’s now or never.”
The moment Levi shouted his commands, they immediately headed toward Diviniteria.
A series of loud crashes and booming echoed as they fired their weapons.
They fell like rain upon the enemy.
It was an amazing sight to behold.
The sparks and flames almost looked like shooting stars.
The people in town stared in terror as the weapons shot toward them.
They weren’t prepared at all.
Most of them were in the middle of enjoying their VIP meetings and extravagant dinners.
Suddenly, they heard a series of terrifying noises.
All of them were taken aback.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The emergency sirens began to ring.
“Enemy incoming! Enemy incoming!” A loud voice announced in every corner.
Every member of the Lab of Gods was in a frenzy.
“What’s going on?”
“What’s happening?”
None of them had imagined that Levi would attack first, and they definitely hadn’t imagined that he would attack so soon.
That had completely exceeded their expectations.
Obviously, they hadn’t had the time to prepare anything, but Levi’s attack was already well on its way.
“How could we have underestimated him again?”
“I could never even dream about the possibility of them attacking first!”
“Immediately activate our defense system!”
Soon enough, the country activated its defense system.
An energy shield enveloped the entire country, rendering it protected from all the attacks.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The weapons slammed against the defense barrier and exploded into dust, unable to penetrate the barrier.
The citizens of the country all stared as if they were admiring fireworks.
“Trying to attack us? Impossible!”
Mr. X chuckled. “Prepare to counter!”
The energy barrier had absorbed all of the weapons.
With a series of loud booms, the energy shield spat back all of the weapons.
Even more loud Booms erupted as all of the weapons exploded across the ocean.
They ruined their enemy’s weapons with ease.
Still, Levi had already expected such an outcome.
That’s why he had lined up automatic weapons on the frontline to avoid any actual human beings from getting injured.
“Air unit! Attack now!”
Next, Levi commanded the airborne weapons to fire.
The fighter jets began to fire and retreat as quickly as possible.
More loud booming ensued as countless weapons were fired at the enemy.
Now, it was time for Levi to pull out his divine tool, which shocked everyone.
Is that even allowed?
After fiddling with the tool for a few seconds, Levi aimed it toward Diviniteria.
Chapter 2737 Breaking Into Diviniteria
He was holding up a huge crossbow.
It was made from the remnants left behind after Levi created his divine tool.
These remnants wouldn’t have been salvageable by even the Sacred Organization, but in Levi’s hands, they were just as useful as his ancient metalsmithing skills.
Thus, he successfully created a giant crossbow almost a hundred times the size of a normal crossbow from those remnants.
Apart from being larger size-wise, it was also a hundred times more powerful.
Everyone stared in shock as he brought out the crossbow.
They were all simply taken aback.
After all, it was much larger than most heavy-duty weapons.
Since it was also created from materials from Restricted Area 76, it was even heavier to boot.
Because of that alone, it was extremely hard to transport.
Even with their utmost strength, most fighters couldn’t even lift the crossbow, let alone use it properly.
Regular fighters would have to work together to even get it to work at maximum capacity.
However, Levi couldn’t just show off his skills in front of so many people.
“Next, you guys need to find ten high-class fighters to activate this crossbow!”
Soon enough, Xyperia sent out ten of their strongest fighters who happened to specialize in physical strength.
“One, two, shoot!”
The ten fighters used all their might to pull back the string of the crossbow.
With a loud Boom, a giant arrow sailed across the sky like a large shooting star and disappeared.
The glowing trail it left behind made it seem as if it were tearing the sky apart.
Diviniteria’s defense barrier was truly doing its job.
No matter how powerful the weapons were, the defense barrier managed to absorb them and transform them into fireworks for the citizens to enjoy.
The VIPs who were still in the midst of their fancy galas held up champagne glasses to salute the fireworks in the sky.
The Lab of Gods were also finally at ease, as if they were simply watching a movie.
“I bet they had no idea how much our technology has progressed! We haven’t had to use such weapons for plenty of years. Now, their weapons are as big of a threat as mosquitoes are.”
Everyone was simply looking on in disdain.
How could you be so confident as to attack us even with such weak firepower?
Suddenly, another loud Boom erupted.
This time, it shook the entire city.
It shook so much that it almost felt like an earthquake, and it started to feel as if the vibrations were trying to tear out the city from the earth bit by bit.
“What-”
Everyone started to panic again, including the VIPs in the gala and the Lab of Gods.
What’s going on?
“Danger incoming! Danger incoming!”
Suddenly, the speakers started to screech loudly as everyone stared at a rapidly approaching gust of air.
They couldn’t see what it was exactly, and even their systems couldn’t detect it.
Boom!
The huge arrow collided against the energy field, and with a forceful Crack, it penetrated through their shield.
With that, the energy field cracked into pieces and began to collapse.
Despite that, the arrow continued to shoot toward the city without any signs of slowing down.
It left massive destruction in its wake.
No matter how high-tech the materials of the city were, they still couldn’t withstand the destruction of the arrow.
Without giving them any time to react, another earth-shattering series of vibrations emerged.
Boom!
Another giant arrow fired straight at them.
Once again, it left incredible destruction in its wake.
Everyone in Diviniteria went into a frenzy once again.
The weapons had affected a lot of neighboring areas, but rather than that, the most important problem was that they had successfully attacked Diviniteria.
Diviniteria was the Gods’ country!
How could a regular human being have attacked them?
Not only were they invading this holy country, they were also ridiculing it!
That was the most unbearable part.
Destroying Diviniteria so much was a heavy hit on its dignity over everything else.
“Is he asking for death?” the ‘gods’ in the Lab of Gods spat angrily.
After all, Levi was basically waving a red flag in a bull’s face. How could they hold back?
Gods shouldn’t be intruded upon, much less ridiculed to such an extent!
“Spread the word that Diviniteria is now fighting back! Attack every single country that hasn’t surrendered to us!”
Chapter 2738 The Third Giant Arrow
After that command, the squadrons that were awaiting marched out.
Countless modern aircrafts flew out of every building.
They were ready to attack Levi with everything they had.
Suddenly, the third giant arrow flew toward them.
With three loud Shicks, all of the squadrons that the Lab of Gods had sent out got shot.
Both weapons and people got heavily injured.
The VIPs and the other surrendered powers all stared in surprise.
They didn’t know that these so-called gods were just like them.
They, too, could bleed, cry and scream. Most importantly, they could die.
They were just the same!
Gods? Are they really gods?
People were truly starting to suspect them, and they were beginning to wonder if they had been lied to.
Those so-called gods were frauds!
They were just too full of themselves and happened to have just a little bit more power!
All of them looked on in shock and suspicion.
More importantly, they had just seen an extremely bloody scenario unfold.
Impression toward Diviniteria immediately soured to every single one of the people in it.
Now, these VIPs and surrendered powers were beginning to wonder if they had even made the right choice.
That was what embarrassed Diviniteria the most, as it was the outcome they had truly dreaded.
They wanted to control the whole world through the hope that gods gave people.
Now, their image was ruined!
Everyone was beginning to suspect them.
This meant that people’s loyalty was starting to waver.
To the Lab of Gods, this was more embarrassing than anything else.
Apart from that, the more they lost, the more encouragement their enemy got.
By then, Levi could easily yell out, “See? They’re just like us! Two eyes, two shoulders, and a head on their neck that will come off just the same when sliced at.”
No matter what, the sheer aura of these three arrows was much more powerful than any physical damage they actually caused.
“Attack! Attack! No man left alive!” the Lab of Gods shrieked, completely red with fury.
The city began to attack them with all of their systems engaged, and they fired their most high-tech, intimidating weapons first.
Their main goal was to destroy their enemy’s frontlines.
Their aim, size and power had never been seen before.
Everyone was surprised once more and finally felt a hint of the strength that the Lab of Gods had been hyping up.
The ocean before them was completely encased in Diviniteria’s modern weapons.
Levi’s defense barrier was completely destroyed within seconds.
However, Levi had also already commanded everyone to retreat.
With that, the ground that the Lab of Gods had been aiming at was already completely empty.
“What? Shouldn’t we continue attacking them, Commander? Your special weapon has already caused so much damage!”
“Yes! Why are we suddenly retreating now?”
No one really understood why Levi had called for a retreat.
With a smile, Levi replied, “You will find out in a bit. For now, spread my word: get rid of all of the countries who surrendered to Diviniteria! It’s now or never. We can’t give them the chance to backstab us.”
Not only did Levi ask them to retreat, now, he wanted to change his target to the countries that had surrendered.
Soon enough, his side began to fire at the betrayers who had surrendered.
Blitzkrieg battles started to take place all over.
The army swept aside all the enemy soldiers with ease under Levi’s command.
The enemy didn’t have any chance to retaliate and all of them got destroyed.
By now, Levi’s army was extremely pumped up.
With their newfound motivation, they destroyed enemy after enemy.
The others who had surrendered to Diviniteria all watched in fear, terrified that they would be next.
Even the ones in Diviniteria started to panic.
Soon enough, all of the lieutenants would hear that Levi wasn’t just attacking Diviniteria, but also trying to ruin them psychologically and also destroying their aura.
Chapter 2739 The Anger Of The Lab Of Gods
Soon enough, they realized why Levi wanted to retreat from the main battle.
The Lab of God’s frontline had arrived.
They were strong, extremely strong, whether in terms of their fighters or their weapons.
It was a terrifying sight to behold.
If they were still here, they would have suffered tremendous losses, and might even have lost up to half of their men.
Apart from that, the Lab of Gods had also sent out a team of animal soldiers and mechanical weapons.
It was beginning to look like they could rival Leviathan.
They began to attack with only one thought in mind, which was complete and utter destruction.
Yes, they were strong.
The combined army was surely strong, and the three giant arrows in succession were what angered the Lab of Gods.
That’s why they sent out all of their most powerful weapons, prepared to get rid of any hope that their enemy had.
Still, to Levi, they were weak.
Sacroria had yet to show up, but that was who he was waiting for.
His whole plan lay on aggravating the Lab of Gods with those three giant arrows so that they would panic and use all of their trump cards.
Of course, that included Sacroria.
Levi wanted to force Sacroria out so he could finally show all of his potentials.
Sadly, it appeared like the Lab of Gods wasn’t panicked enough to use him yet.
That meant they just had to continue with the attacks.
“Retreat now and leave only a small unit behind to interfere!” Levi commanded.
The interference unit acted upon his commands, but the results weren’t good at all.
All of them were either dead or had suffered horrible injuries.
They were simply no match for the Lab of Gods’ army.
They weren’t even on the same level.
The Lab of Gods was truly showing them how furious they were.
They used their strongest weapons and fighters to attack and destroy as much as they could.
Levi’s defense barriers were slowly breaking apart, one by one.
Levi didn’t have any other choice but to continuously back down and retreat.
By now, they had already lost eight defense barriers.
Luckily, he had prepared enough barriers to last a while. If he hadn’t done so, they would already be in much bigger danger.
However, as of right now, Jipsdale was the next up on the defense barriers.
If Levi kept retreating, that meant he would basically be sacrificing them to the Lab of Gods.
They would swallow Jipsdale up without a second thought.
“Commander, we cannot retreat any longer! If we do, we’ll be putting Jipsdale at risk. We have to fight now!”
“Yes! If anything happens to Jipsdale, our army will start to crack.”
“We have to fight no matter what! I recommend fighting them right now with every single bit of manpower we have!”
All of the lieutenants began warning Levi against retreating any further, and all of them were mostly saying the same thing.
They felt like it would be the best idea to gather all of their strength and manpower at the ninth defense barrier so that they could fight to the death against the Lab of Gods.
However, Levi turned them down. “No. It’s not the time yet.”
Fight their final battle? There’s no point. Even if you win, there’s no point, because Sacroria is still there. The biggest threat will still exist.
If they suddenly showed up, even Levi might not be enough to control the situation.
For now, they could still progress slowly and steadily. Their end goal was to force Sacroria out of hiding.
“What?”
At his words, the whole room started clamoring loudly.
The lieutenants were looking at Levi in disbelief.
“What is your plan then, Commander?” everybody asked.
“Retreat. We have to keep retreating,” Levi commanded.
“What? But that means leaving Jipsdale to the Lab of Gods! We’re basically sending them off to get killed! Imagine the destruction that we will suffer. Also, Jipsdale are our allies!”
“I rebuke your command, Commander!”
“I also disagree!”
The Jipsdale members of the army began to turn down Levi’s command.
After all, this was about to become a matter of life or death for them.
Chapter 2740 Retreat They had to retreat
Suddenly, Levi began to chuckle. “That’s not what I meant by retreating! First, we make use of our smaller units to constantly interfere with the Lab of Gods and distract them enough that they can’t make progress. Then, we won’t actually retreat and escape. Instead, we’ll simply stay here and block them no matter how much it takes, even if the Lab of Gods shows up… This whole plan is to retreat not to sacrifice Jipsdale, but to protect them. Let them know that everyone in Jipsdale is to escape by dawn tomorrow if they want to live!”
No one went against Levi’s command.
After all, he was trying to protect them.
All they could do now was just listen to him.
They finally started to interfere with the Lab of Gods.
Even if they suffered a lot, they still had to go through with the plan.
As for Jipsdale, they began to retreat rapidly.
By now, everyone was beginning to see the good in Levi’s plan to set up so much defense beforehand.
Setting up defense barriers in the majority of the world meant that almost all of those areas were in Levi’s control.
For example, Jipsdale could escape anywhere they wanted now.
They were all allies anyway.
If Levi hadn’t set them up beforehand, anyone could have become an enemy and Jipsdale wouldn’t have had anywhere to escape to.
Once again, everyone was impressed with Levi’s foresight.
The Lab of Gods was actually being slowed down with all the harassment going on.
However, quite a lot of the fighters managed to break through and arrived at the ninth defense barrier.
Levi commanded the army to defend with all they had.
Both sides began to suffer tremendous losses.
Levi’s army was suffering even more because of the sheer power that the Lab of Gods’ army had.
Luckily, their commander was Levi. His war strategies ensured that every single one of those soldiers would be in a position to maximize their efficiency.
If it hadn’t been for him, they would have been defeated a long time ago.
After a while, the harassment from smaller units was no longer of use and the major army from Lab of Gods had begun to show up.
Levi’s army was beginning to suffer even more than it had been previously.
Everyone was beginning to feel the wrath of the Lab of Gods.
That was what they were truly capable of.
Whether it was their fighters or their weapons, they were on a higher level than Levi’s army.
All Levi could do was wrack his brain to find a way to pull them closer.
For example, he called for the Sacred Organization’s fighters to come and help fight.
The battle continued for over three hours.
Levi’s side was truly in big trouble, but then some good news finally arrived.
Jipsdale had all evacuated.
That meant their job here was done.
“Retreat! All of you! Retreat!”
After getting the good news, Levi immediately commanded for everyone to retreat and open up the ninth defense barrier.
Soon enough, the Lab of Gods broke through to the ninth defense barrier.
However, once they arrived, they discovered that there was no defense barrier. All of them had evacuated.
“Hahaha!”
“I knew they didn’t have anything on us! How could a bunch of cowards like that even beat us?”
The Diviniterians began to cheer after breaking through.
“Jipsdale is next. Let’s destroy them!”
“They should be honored to be the first country that Diviniteria will destroy! The whole world is watching. We must put on a good show for them.”
“Let’s ruin Jipsdale and truly show these Erudians that it’s useless to fight against us!”
“I don’t want to see any living things in Jipsdale after we’re done with them!”
The Lab of Gods’ army began to attack.
They destroyed everything in their path and finally arrived at Jipsdale.
However, once they arrived, everyone just stared in shock.
All of the streets were empty!
The buildings were also completely abandoned.
They had arrived at Jipsdale only to find a ghost town.
They couldn’t find even a single footprint.
The whole country had been scraped clean like the bottom of a barrel.
