Ch. 2761..2770
Chapter 2761 Elterton Star
Indeed. The external factor that would affect the battle would be Zarain.
As a matter of fact, Zarain might be the decisive factor.
It made Levi wary, and it made the Lab of Gods wary.
Mr. X had been fearful of revealing his true power because he was afraid of Erudia’s Esoteric Guild and Ecclesiastic Order, but it was also because he was wary of Zarain.
After the negotiation, Zarain would not help Erudia and would not form an alliance with Erudia.
However, Zarain was undoubtedly an enemy of the Lab of Gods.
If the Lab of Gods wanted to gain control over the whole world, Zarain would be its target as well.
Therefore, the Lab of Gods was afraid of Zarain.
Mr. X, in particular, knew that the start of the war meant the revealing of his trump card; Zarain would know all about his weak point.
In that case, they would be an easy target for Zarain.
Nevertheless, before the full-on attack, Mr. X had gone to Sacroria to ask the question that was on his mind.
Sacroria then reassured him that they would be the ones to deal with the problem if Zarain were to intervene.
In other words, Sacroria would be joining the battle by defending against Zarain’s sneak attacks.
It was only then Mr. X became at ease.
Subsequently, he used his everything to begin fighting against his opponents.
However, Zarain’s people had been keeping a close eye on the situation.
Once they realize that Diviniteria was crushing its opponents, Zarain’s major figures were tempted to make a move.
Black Hawk and a few others said, “They’re now embroiled in a chaotic fight. It’s our best time to make a move. I’m afraid we won’t be able to wait until both parties are worn down. Diviniteria is far too strong. If we don’t join the battle now, World Alliance is going to be defeated. By then, we won’t gain an upper hand in the situation.”
“That’s right. World Alliance’s main forces are still around. Even if they’ve suffered a lot, at the very least, they’ve done a certain amount of damage to Diviniteria. This is really the perfect time to enter the battle!” they analyzed.
Now was indeed the best time for Zarain to join the battle.
“Are we going to join the battle, Sir?” Black Hawk asked Smythe.
Smythe and several other men in suits then shared a look.
Although Black Hawk had not directly interacted with those few men in the past, he knew about their existence.
He knew that their identities were on par with the high-rank officials of Zarain.
“We need to discuss this first.”
Smythe and the others then left, leaving Black Hawk and the others behind in the meeting room.
Everyone thought that they had gone out to discuss—for those few people had the final say as to whether or not they were going to join the battle.
However, what they never thought was that those people were actually on their way to seek advice.
As to who Smythe and the others were going to… Black Hawk and the others would never know.
Soon, Smythe and the others returned to say, “No! This is not the time yet!”
Sensing something amiss, Black Hawk asked, “Why?”
“There is no reason. Just heed the orders,” Smythe said with a sneer. “Just keep an eye on the current situation.”
At the tensest moment of the battle, Zarain did not join in the fight.
No one knew who Smythe and the others had gone for to seek advice, nor did anyone know what orders had been passed down.
Diviniteria’s armies destroyed every inch of the land they marched on.
Titan Lord and the others used everything and did everything they could to defend themselves against Diviniteria.
When Sacred Organization, The Cardinal Hall, Eragon, Elterton Star—a powerful organization from Xyperia that had people with superpowers in it—as well as the famous Yeringham’s Celestial Guards joined in, they had somehow managed to temporarily gain control over the situation.
After all, those elite fighters would be able to stand up against the elite fighters in Diviniteria for a while.
It was especially so after Levi devised the strategies for them.
Levi was truly a capable being in a battle who could destroy his enemies in the blink of an eye.
That applies to the “gods” of Diviniteria too.
Chapter 2762 Doing It Personally
Gabriel, Eustace, and the others were about the same level as Lucifer.
Moreover, Lucifer was a being above most in Diviniteria.
Therefore, although there were few people on Gabriel’s side, those who were with Gabriel were like a one-man-army.
Furthermore, they had the support of The Cardinal Hall, Sacred Organization, Elterton Star, and Celestial Guards.
They began launching their counterattacks against Diviniteria.
Soon, they were making a dent in Diviniteria’s army.
That success inspired the members of the alliance.
Finally, they caught a glimpse of hope.
In fact, even Titan Lord had personally gone on the battlefield.
In good spirits, not only had the alliance defended their base, but they even manage to force their enemies back.
On the other side, Zarain, who had been observing the battle, was thrilled upon noticing that.
Could this be the moment? Are we going to launch our attacks now? But we’ve received no orders. We have to continue with mere observation!
Meanwhile, Mr. X was quiet in Primo Stella.
He was not at all anxious about the counterattacks from their opponents.
In fact, he had a smile on his face.
“Finally! Finally, they’ve revealed their trump card!” he uttered, laughing.
When he saw Elterton Star and Celestial Guards appearing, Mr. X knew that half of his plan had worked.
Finally, the ultimate forces had made an appearance.
Their appearance meant that he would emerge victorious soon.
If the Ecclesiastic Order and the Esoteric Guild of Erudia really existed, it was about time for them to appear.
That was why he was laughing.
His reaction was completely unlike the others.
“As long as we crush these people, we will have no obstacles anymore! I’ll be dealing with them personally,” Mr. X declared.
Soon, he led the elite fighters down from Primo Stella.
It was time for them to strike.
It was that moment Mr. X wished Void God was around. If he was there, he would have easily destroyed half of the elite fighters in front of them.
Unfortunately, Void God, as well as Lucifer and the other elite core members were not around.
Thus, he had to take things into his own hands.
It was the first time Mr. X had personally made a move.
If Levi were to catch wind about that, he would have rushed over to take a look at the scene.
The moment Mr. X made a move, everyone was stunned.
He was truly like a god, for he had the power to turn the world upside down.
It was as if he could control every single thing in the world—from power and electromagnetic force to even the brains of the people.
“Ah!”
The very second he made a move, the alliance suffered a tremendous loss.
The elite fighters of Elterton Star had all exploded.
Many of the Celestial Guards’ fighters were all on the ground. They had even become one with the ocean and disappeared.
That was how powerful Mr. X was.
He was on a level much higher than most on the battlefield.
As a matter of fact, it would be an exaggeration to say that he was the next most powerful fighter after Sacroria.
Mr. X was not the only one with that power.
There were dozens of others who were almost as powerful as him.
In fact, there were dozens more who were slightly weaker than that, about the same level as Void God.
As for those who were about the same level as Lucifer… there were over a hundred of them.
That was why Lab of Gods was powerful.
Almost every one of them was a super fighter.
Soon, Mr. X was up against Gabriel and Eustace.
Although Levi had made them stronger, they were still not a match for Mr. X.
After all, they were, at most, on Lucifer’s level while Mr. X was two levels above Lucifer.
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
Soon, the alliance was suffering great losses again.
The fighters who had come to support them were no match for someone like Mr. X, who was of God’s class.
They were either dead or grievously injured after encountering Mr. X.
Furthermore, Mr. X was not the only one; there were dozens of fighters who were as powerful as him.
Once those few god-like fighters attacked, their opponents were defeated in seconds.
“Ugh!”
Gabriel, Eustace, and the others were injured.
By their feet were countless corpses.
Chapter 2763 The Hypothesis Of Black Hawk
They’re too powerful!
Finally, the people realized what it felt like to exchange blows with a “god.”
It was impossible for them to defend themselves.
They never found it tough to go up against Lab of Gods’ fighters, but the appearance of Mr. X and the other fighters by his side taught them otherwise.
They were crushed as if they were ants under an elephant’s foot.
No one and nothing they wielded was of any use.
Not even Death Fiend’s divine tools were of any use against Mr. X.
That was what frustrated them the most, for that was the trump card of many members of the Sacred Organization.
Yet, those trump cards were useless against their opponents.
Death Fiend and the others had reached a dead end.
They had already used their trump cards.
At that, Mr. X looked at Death Fiend and the others and sneered, “You’re not from Restricted Area 76, are you? You’ve only gotten part of their talent and skills!”
It was then Mr. X realized that the gods of Restricted Area 76 they were wary of were nothing but frauds.
It was only after they encountered them did they realize that none of them were the real deal!
Even the divine tools they wielded were unlike the genuine ones.
Their tools were only created with Restricted Area 76’s materials; they were not the same as the ones created by the Gods in Restricted Area 76.
Mr. X finally came to the realization that the Gods of Restricted Area 76 did not exist.
Those people had only made use of Restricted Area 76’s resources.
All of them were just imposters.
Those people had managed to make them think that they were up against much tougher opponents.
In a way, it was humiliating.
No wonder they say that Erudia’s involved with the Restricted Area 76. Erudia probably took control over the resource distribution there. As for the Dark Emperor… That’s just something Erudia came up with. Dark Emperor doesn’t exist. Chances are that someone from The Cardinal Hall played the role of Dark Emperor. Other than that, the new head of the ancient Garrison clan, as well as Killfinger of Erudia, are also just personas created by Erudia. They don’t physically exist. There’s no way they exist. Otherwise, they would have appeared much sooner. We’re at the tensest moment of battle. If they exist, they would have revealed themselves by now.
With that thought in his mind, Mr. X yelled, “Restricted Area 76 doesn’t exist! Dark Emperor, the new head of the ancient Garrison clan, and Killfinger are all fake! They don’t exist, so be at ease and kill our enemies!”
Upon hearing Mr. X, everyone put down their guards and began their killing spree.
Again, the alliance suffered from a great loss—they lost the land they had just recovered.
Left without a choice, the alliance retreated.
Titan Lord began commanding his men to attack their opponents with modern weaponry.
Sadly, the effects of those weapons were minimal.
Mr. X, who could control many elements, including electromagnetic force, could control the weapons. He could make them stop firing, and he could even make them turn to fire at the alliance instead.
Hence, the alliance suffered heavier and heavier losses.
Diviniteria was simply too mighty.
The alliance was getting massacred.
At that moment, they figured out why Lab of Gods’ self-proclaimed land of the divine—Diviniteria—could declare war against the entire world.
Their strength was the reason behind their confidence in declaring war against the whole world.
“He’s that strong? I thought he’s just an ordinary person!” Black Hawk exclaimed when he saw Mr. X’s massacre in action.
He never thought that Mr. X was as skilled in combat as that.
He’s basically of God class!
He thought Shield had a trump card, but clearly, it was not on par with the ability of Mr. X.
Mr. X’s combat prowess reminded him of Levi. It seemed like they were of the same level.
Nevertheless, Black Hawk still stole a glance at Smythe and the others.
He then noticed that they looked as calm as ever.
Although Diviniteria is destroying its opponent like they’re ants, they’re still indifferent? It’s as if they’re used to the sight transpiring in front of their eyes!
Black Hawk was absolutely gobsmacked.
They’re not faking it!
Chapter 2764 Will You Submit To The Gods
They’re not feigning their calmness! They’re really unsurprised by this! Could it be that…
Recalling what he had observed in the past few days, Black Hawk realized that Zarain seemed much more powerful than anyone imagined them to be.
Diviniteria doesn’t faze them at all? Moreover, it seems like Zarain has some kind of powerful being supporting them. It’s just that someone like me won’t be able to find out who’s behind Zarain. Yes, with how calm they are right now, my guess must be right. Maybe they’re powerful enough to sit by idly while the Lab of Gods is fighting against the alliance. There’s no need for them to intervene at all because they’re not afraid!
It was at that moment Black Hawk was glad that he had not said anything about Levi’s true power.
Otherwise, he would be dead by now.
That information would be something that would keep him safe in the future.
It seemed like there was more to the one behind Zarain than he thought.
Black Hawk was curious to find out more.
In the meantime…
The alliance was forced to keep retreating as they suffered terrible losses.
Gabriel and the others were all injured.
Fortunately, they had miracle drugs and various ways to recover, so they managed to treat the injured.
That was the same for Elterton Star.
Every member of Elterton Star had a Holy Stone, which was the source of their energy, and that Holy Stone was healing them.
The Celestial Guards from Yeringham were also recovering from their injuries with their techniques.
Soon, the fighters in the alliance had recovered.
As long as they did not suffer an instant death, they could recover quickly.
They would be able to return to the battlefield.
With the help of advanced weapons and armors, the members of the alliance were back in the battle.
Once again, they threw themselves at the fighters of Diviniteria.
Mr. X sneered in disdain. “How stubborn. If that’s the case, I shall kill them all!”
Hence, Diviniteria’s fighters started their killing spree.
Every one of them was like a grim reaper sweeping through the battlefield.
Meanwhile, the members of the alliance were still using the human wave attack.
Regardless of who the powerful fighter was, they stuck to the same strategy.
Several hundreds of them could somewhat go up against one of Diviniteria’s super fighters.
If someone like Mr. X came along, not even several thousand of them would be a match for him.
Nevertheless, the scene was a slow, one-sided massacre.
In half an hour, the bodies strewn across the place were as tall as hills, and blood covered every inch of the area.
Knowing that the fighters could recover, the fighters of Diviniteria never showed them any mercy—they slaughtered them all.
That way, they would not be able to recover.
The cries of agony filled the air.
It was impossible for the members of the alliance to emerge as victors in the fight.
A direct encounter meant death.
Titan Lord was injured by Mr. X as well, and if not for the many people who came to his rescue, he would have been dead as well.
Titan Lord was panicking.
He was truly losing his composure.
There was nothing he could do but strive to do his best.
The strategies that Levi had come up with previously were useless the moment those Diviniteria’s fighters appeared.
They were simply too powerful.
“Hang on, everyone! Crown King of Erudia will surely have a way to turn the tables! We just need to wait for him to come! He’ll definitely have a way to deal with this!” cried out Gabriel and the others, hoping to lift the spirits of their people.
“Hahaha! Are you placing your hopes on Levi? What a joke!”
The people of Diviniteria were amused after hearing those cries.
Not even your strongest fighters are a match for us. Do you really think Levi could stand a chance? How can you pin all of your hopes on him? This is hilarious!
“Very well. I’d like to see whether or not Levi will be able to save the day!” Mr. X loudly uttered.
Rumble…
A terrifying power spread across the area and toward the others.
At the same time, the other Diviniteria’s fighters began releasing their power as well.
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
Gabriel and the other fighters of the alliance were all suffocating under the pressure of the terrifying power. In the next second, they were on their knees.
All of the fighters collapsed before the people of Diviniteria.
“Will you submit to the gods?”
Chapter 2765 Fake Gods
Mr. X’s roar shook the earth.
It had cut through the air like the sound of thunder.
The very sound of it commanded attention as if it was a message from god.
Indeed, to them, they were the gods.
Normal people could only get on their knees and submit to god. They could only become slaves and beg for god’s forgiveness.
“In the face of god, you are all but mere ants! Bow and become the slave of god!” the other fighters from Diviniteria shouted.
Even more powerful pressure crashed into them.
The kneeling legs of the people on the ground were starting to sink into the ground.
The weaker ones even had their entire bodies in the ground.
A god shall never be crossed!
The power they unleashed was as if the sky had collapsed onto them.
“Ah!”
Gabriel and the others struggled with all their might to rise.
However, it was as if mountains were upon their shoulders.
It was impossible for them to stand up.
They could not even move an inch of their legs.
That was the power of a god.
No matter how hard they tried, they could not break free from it, let alone rise from the ground.
Thousands and thousands of people spread across the ground.
It was a shocking sight to behold.
Meanwhile, the ones in the command center behind the lines saw everything that happened.
They were astounded and taken aback by what they saw.
Is this what Diviniteria is? Are they really gods? If they’re not, then what’s another explanation for their power? Even The Cardinal Hall, Elterton Star, and Yeringham’s Celestial Guards are no match for them! They were all brought to their knees! How powerful is Diviniteria? How can they be anything but gods? We’re left with no choice. Soon, they’ll massacre their way in.
They then looked behind them where a large number of alliance members stood.
What use would they make despite their large numbers?
They were useless!
There was no way they would be able to defend themselves against those fighters.
Even the alliance members in the frontline were no match for them, let alone the other alliance members.
Now…
Are we really going to wait for Levi? But that’s an insubstantial hope!
If Levi had been the commander of the army all along, perhaps they would have a hint of hope still.
Yet, that was not the case, so they had lost all hope.
Many were sighing by now.
They could already imagine the way Diviniteria would defeat them.
By then, many of them would become slaves.
They were frustrated about the situation, but they could not do anything about it.
Meanwhile, up ahead…
Mr. X gazed at the thousands of people on the ground in front of him and bellowed, “Rise! Look at yourselves! How weak and defenseless! You can only watch as I control and crush you! It’s time for you to realize something. Since ancient times, ordinary humans can never compare to a god. A god is above all!”
Upon hearing those mocking words, Death Fiend and the others thrashed and tried to stand up.
They used every bit of strength they had in hopes of rising to their feet.
Even if they died, they wanted to die with honor!
“God? That’s not what you are at all! You’re all just humans like us!”
Eustace was the ill-tempered of all. Risking an implosion, he curled up his legs and slowly stood up.
Shocking!
Every one at the scene was struck dumb, including the alliance.
Then, adrenaline began rushing through their veins.
Even the fighters of Diviniteria were stunned.
He can actually do that? How insolent! He’s disrespecting us! We can’t just take this silently! If Eustace really rises to his feet, it’ll be a great humiliation to us! No. No, no, no! No matter what happens, we can’t let Eustace rise to his feet! We have to unleash more power.
The only thing they could do at that moment was to unleash more power.
Instantly, Eustace felt as if several mountains were crushing down on him.
His legs that were about to straighten bent again.
“Argh!”
Nevertheless, with a few furious roars, Eustace managed to keep himself from kneeling again.
However, that had a price. Bloody tears began trickling down his body parts.
Eustace was risking his life to do just that.
Chapter 2766 Humiliated
He wanted to let Diviniteria know that he would never submit and that he would never kneel to them.
He was going to stand up and faced them like a man!
In fact, he wanted to show the others that all were equal!
The “gods” saw red.
They were simmering in rage.
To the “gods,” Eustace’s actions were a blatant insult.
He was mocking them.
Eustace was the only one rising to his feet, but it was as if thousands were also rising to their feet.
They did not see Diviniteria as a threat at all.
It was utterly humiliating for Divineteria.
“Don’t let him stand!” Mr. X bellowed.
The fighters then released more of their power to keep him down.
However, Eustace did everything to keep himself from kneeling.
Nevertheless, the bloody tears on his body were spreading.
“Kneel! Kneel before me!” Mr. X cried out like a madman.
He kept letting out more and more of his power, wanting Eustace to kneel before him.
“No way! Argh!”
As Eustace shouted, he stood straight up.
He was not fearful of the power of any “gods”!
Everyone was flabbergasted.
They could not believe what they had just witnessed.
Even the people from Diviniteria fell silent.
His success was a slap to their face.
All of them seemed bristled.
They were nothing but frauds.
Bang! Bang! Bang
Yet, in the next second, Eustace’s body started imploding.
His skin was tearing.
Although he had stood up, his body was withstanding ten times the power the others were up against.
That was long past his limits.
His sheer willpower was what kept him alive.
As the power he was going up against was much more than what he could withstand, his body began breaking down.
“Eustace!” Gabriel and the others screamed.
The thousands of alliance members behind them began shedding tears.
Eustace was a good role model—he would not submit to anyone even if it meant death.
He was adamant about being an equal to those gods even if he were to die.
At that moment, fear began seeping away from everyone’s hearts. Soon, fear no longer existed in them.
Gods? Rubbish! They’re just people with stronger powers. What’s there to be afraid of?
It was an astounding sight to behold and an important lesson learned.
Even though Eustace had exploded and died, the “gods” of Diviniteria were still in a daze.
Eustace had indeed died, but all of them were upset, probably because he did not die at their hands.
Eustace had never seen them as a threat even until his death.
That made them wish that Eustace would come back to life so that they could defeat him and make him submit to them.
They wanted him to kneel before them.
Although he was dead now, they could not help but feel upset about the whole thing.
Mr. X, as a matter of fact, was on the verge of flying into a fit of rage.
He never thought that a minor character like Eustace would be able to make a dent in his ego.
It was a much more devastating blow than a physical injury.
“Argh!” he shrieked. “Don’t let them live! I don’t want to see another person rising to their feet! I want absolute submission. If they can’t do that, then kill them all!”
He did not want the incident to repeat itself again.
Thus, to prevent that, he was going to kill them all.
Mr. X could already see them trying to stand up.
They were all trying to do the same thing as Eustace did.
Although their actions did not hurt him physically, they were a great insult to him.
Mr. X was not going to let such a thing happen.
“Kill them! Kill them all!”
All of Diviniteria’s fighters did not want to relive the humiliating moments again, so they decided to wipe out their enemies.
Boom!
Mr. X and the others began launching their attacks.
Every one of their attacks was a fatal blow.
They wanted to end the lives of their opponents right away.
They did not even want to see them submitting to them anymore.
Oh no! We’re doomed.
Titan Lord and the others could only watch helplessly as their enemies rained attacks on them.
There was nothing they could do about it.
If the ones on the frontlines were to all die, everything would be over.
There was no way they could defend themselves against the Diviniterian army anymore.
Right then, Titan Lord and the others spotted something.
Hope flickered in their hearts at the sight!
Chapter 2767 Forlevia Descends
The combatants watched in shock as a giant crossbow was wheeled out, having thought that the crossbow would have been taken away along with Levi’s departure.
Unexpectedly, it was left behind to be used at the moment when it was needed the most.
They recalled that Levi had mentioned before that gigantic crossbows were handy against the fighters of Diviniteria.
The only drawback was that there was only enough material for ten arrows which was too few against an army that vast.
As the ammunition had to be large enough to fit the weapon, the amount of timber and steel used to produce the arrows had depleted Levi’s resources.
Deducting the three that they had used before, only seven remained.
At that critical juncture, the simultaneous use of three arrows was justified.
It took two dozen men to pull the bowstring laden with triple the tension.
“Let loose on three! One, two, three!”
Boom!
Together, the three arrows broke the sound barrier and traveled toward the Diviniterian camp with the destructive power of three comets.
When Mr. X and his “Gods” were about to annihilate their enemy, they noticed a sudden shift in the tide of battle.
Without warning, the three arrows appeared and tore their formation apart.
“The crossbow!”
Mr. X recognized the weapon at once. It was the gigantic crossbow that Levi had employed when he led the alliance to attack Diviniteria.
He had thought that the three arrows used prior were all that was left.
Not only did he not expect them to still have ammunition remaining in their quiver, but he also did not foresee the unleashing of three arrows at once.
“Watch out!” Mr. X warned.
The Gods were about to take control of the battlefield when the power of the crossbow scattered their defenses.
Even Mr. X dove aside to avoid the arrows.
After all, the crossbow was of Levi’s own design which was built for the specific purpose of targeting the weakness of the Gods.
Being unprepared to face such a devastating weapon, the Gods were left with no choice but to block the incoming assault to the best of their ability.
The three arrows disrupted their formation and temporarily subdued them.
“Argh!”
Some of the Gods who did not manage to move out of the way in time were skewered by the immense arrows, each one as thick as a pillar.
It was a testament to the crossbow’s prestige of being the only weapon on the side of the alliance capable of vanquishing or even damaging the fighters of Diviniteria that merely three arrows fired from it had resulted in a dent in the Diviniterian forces.
Despite the destructive power the weapon possessed, the remaining four arrows were not enough to win them the war.
Despite successfully beating back the Diviniteria forces, the mere presence of the Gods sent an aura of overwhelming tyranny that made its way toward the alliance and crumbled the will of its soldiers.
As timely as the three arrows were fired, they had only managed to block a portion of the Diviniteria force.
The aura spread further outward, engulfing the alliance in a storm of subjugation and despair. Realizing the futility of their resistance, many began laying down their arms. The collective casualty would have been on an inconceivably large scale but for a timely appearance of a savior.
At the last second, a figure emerged to block the onslaught of the invisible force with its bare hands.
The battleground fell silent as the soldiers gazed up in disbelief.
Even the Diviniterian forces whose bloodlust was incensed from the death-defying act of charging through the arrows earlier found themselves frozen with shock.
A mere girl is the one who saved the lives of an entire battalion!
The combined appearance of the crossbow and the mysterious girl spared the entire force of the alliance from certain doom.
The combatants from both sides let out a collective gasp when she turned around to face them for the first time.
It’s Forlevia, daughter of Levi and student of The Cardinal Hall! Legend has it that she has immeasurable potential!
Even Mr. X and his men were startled and enraged by her appearance.
Levi had always stood in our way and interfered with our plans. Now his daughter is doing the same!
The alliance failed to stifle their exclamations of amazement when they recognized their savior.
Her exploits and talent had been the stuff of legend! Today, we are blessed to witness them in person! More importantly, her arrival into our humble, mortal realm serves as a rallying cry at a time we need it the most!
Chapter 2768 Formidable Forlevia
Having heard of and having seen the extent of a legendary warrior’s abilities on full display were two different experiences altogether.
As nobody had ever witnessed the true extent of Forlevia’s power, only speculations formed the basis of discussion regarding her potential.
As varied as the tales surrounding her upbringing were, whispers of a group of elders watching over her remained an undeniable fact.
Back then, she had almost lost her life whilst training in the indigenous forest if not for the Dark Emperor.
To some, the tales were so fanciful that they were convinced that it was propaganda conceived by their enemies.
There was never a circumstance before that was deemed as dangerous as the battle between the alliance and Diviniteria which required The Cardinal Hall and Eragon to rely on Forlevia for her help.
At the moment when we needed her the most, she has appeared and reignited the flame in our hearts to fight for our cause. The immensity of her power fills us with hope!
To the alliance, her appearance was a symbol of hope in the face of imminent annihilation.
Their cheers and cries of adoration for their messiah echoed throughout the battlefield.
She is even capable of facing these Gods of Diviniteria! We are saved!
The elders of The Cardinal Hall and the Eragon gazed at their star pupil with tearful pride.
Our Forlevia is all grown up! This is the moment we have all been waiting for.
Before, Levi had offered his daughter the chance to either train with the elders or to learn from him.
To his surprise, Forlevia opted for a third option: to forge her own path.
Harboring the desire to develop her own technique, Forlevia had ventured into the most dangerous locations in the world to put her skills to the test.
On more than one occasion, she stared death in the face yet fought her way through.
There she is, unscathed and stronger than ever from her ordeals!
Inspired by the Bayview school of thought, Forlevia incorporated the practice of the nine natural elements to synthesize her very own powerful technique.
Her way of manipulating the elements was in stark contrast with other superhuman fighters. Approaching the technique with more intuition and finesse than her contemporaries, her mastery of the art far surpassed theirs.
Her might was so inconceivable that even the mildest of exertions was sufficient enough to take on the entirety of the Diviniterian force on her own.
“Hah! You need a child to protect you? Have you no shame?”
In contrast with the alliance, the Diviniterian forces were not impressed by Forlevia’s appearance.
“Apprehend her!” Mr. X ordered.
A diminutive but murderous creature, who had previously defeated Death Fiend and Notos, charged toward Forlevia with a battle cry.
Boom!
Forlevia summoned the power of the heavens and earth elements with a wave of her hands and crushed her charging adversary on both sides with two vast, invisible hands.
The mutant gave one last wail before succumbing to his injuries and moved no more.
The sheer power of Forlevia’s technique had the crowd dumbstruck with fear and awe.
Upon mastery, the flow of energy within every living or inanimate object would be hers to command. Given the increasing number of power sources at her disposal, her technique would exponentially increase.
Before long, Forlevia would be able to harness everything from the rumble of thunder that split mountains apart to even the stirring of the air caused by the flap of a butterfly’s wings.
Even before that point, Forlevia was already a formidable force of nature to behold.
Faced with the fighters from the Lab of Gods, she was strong enough to slaughter them within seconds as she had already proven.
The troops of the alliance began cheering.
Forlevia is somebody capable of slaying the Gods of Diviniteria!
Eustace’s sacrifice and his daughter’s deft victory stoked the spirits of the alliance who became emboldened by her presence.
Things are turning against Diviniteria’s favor! Besides, it is a strike to the morale of the Diviniteria forces to be stopped by a child. How shameful to have a God crushed in the hands of a girl!
“The sight of her alive displeases me,” Mr. X growled. “Have her dealt with.”
At his command, a God whose abilities were not far behind his own appeared.
Chapter 2769 Feel The Wind In Your Hair
By this juncture, all of the Gods present were hungry to prove their immortality. They desired nothing more than to charge at Forlevia in a group as a means of exuding their dominance to crush any rebellion.
The only thing stopping them from doing so was the fear of looking desperate and weak on their part to gang up on their young adversary.
We are Gods! We take on armies on our own! We certainly do not form an army to fight a single opponent! A little girl at that!
It was with that embarrassing notion at the forefront of their mind that cause them to decide to charge one at a time.
After a hasty conference, the Gods decided to send the Destroyer to go against Forlevia.
Being the latest and most sophisticated production of the Lab of Gods, its abilities and appearance were modeled after Mr. X’s with the idea of deploying a martial force of a commander without his personal involvement in the battleground.
In fact, the Destroyer’s abilities almost matched Sacroria’s.
It was impractical for it to be much stronger. Otherwise, its overlords would not be able to control it. The machine would control them instead.
As a safety feature, only Sacroria would be able to tame the Destroyer.
The Destroyer headed for Forlevia with a stride as natural as Mr. X’s.
As expected, the machine was nowhere near as clumsy as the mutant Forlevia had casually dispatched earlier.
From the very first round of sparring with Forlevia, it had already demonstrated its intent for destruction for her to approach the next warily.
Despite the setback, Forlevia had a trick up her sleeve.
Harnessing the wind to imbue her strikes, she fought back fiercely.
The soldiers of the alliance were flabbergasted as they witnessed the historical event, marveling at the masterful but deadly duel before them.
She is the only one from the alliance who was capable of holding her own against Diviniteria’s finest.
Meanwhile, the Diniveteria forces scowled as they realized that their finest warrior was being bested by a young girl.
She’s making a fool out of us! How embarrassing!
Mr. X was beside himself with rage.
He noticed that Forlevia’s technique of harnessing the natural elements stood in stark contrast to other superhumans.
The girl’s technique appears more organic and potent!
Struck by the sudden frightening thought, he realized with a start that her technique appeared similar to the clerics of Xenhall.
Could Levi’s daughter be a member of the Ecclesiastic Order?
Mr. X could not repress a shudder at that very suggestion.
There is no other explanation for her strength. Even I am uncertain that I would be able to take her down quickly. How is it possible for the daughter of a mere mortal to hold her ground against us Gods? That proves that there are Gods in Erudia.
Mr. X hurriedly relayed that revelation to Sacroria and awaited their response.
He did not have long to wait. The order was prompt and brief. Capture the girl.
Given the swiftness of the reply, Mr. X sensed that Sacroria themselves were uncertain about Forlevia’s appearance and decided that it was most prudent to decide after she fell to their captivity.
Mr. X felt conflicted as he watched the Destroyer and Forlevia sparring as equals.
It would be impossible to capture her without backup. We need at least two Gods!
Upon further reflection, he decided that it would be detrimental to the reputation of Diviniteria if an additional God was required to apprehend the girl.
With the shrewdness of a seasoned commander, Mr. X quickly came up with a tactic.
“Attack!” he commanded his entire army.
In the chaos, we would be able to overwhelm the girl with numbers. Nobody will know.
With a deafening roar, the entire force of Diviniteria rushed forward to meet the soldiers of the alliance in a confusing array of clanging weaponry and bloodthirsty shouts.
At that point, Mr. X leaped to the middle of the battlefield to aid the Destroyer in subduing Forlevia.
Three other Gods who were almost as powerful as Mr. X leaped into the fray by surrounding her.
Within the chaos of the fight, the soldiers of the alliance could not spare Forlevia any thought as they were fighting for their lives themselves.
Under the relentless assault of all five Gods, she found herself unable to hold on much longer.
Chapter 2770 Person Of Interest
Though she had initially managed to hold her own against the Destroyer, Forlevia quickly found herself overwhelmed by five opponents.
Despite steadily gaining their advantage, Mr. X and his comrades felt terrified at her ability to still hold her own.
The alliance had intended to rush forth to aid her but found themselves being held back by the relentless assault of the Diviniteria troops who had formed a dense wall to separate the alliance from reaching Forlevia.
Besides, the ordinary soldiers would not be of much help as their martial level was too far beneath Mr. X and his comrades.
As a result, the troops of the alliance could only watch in horror as their savior struggled to hold her ground.
“Capture her!” Mr. X snarled. “By orders of Sacroria!”
If the Gods were not ordered to refrain from claiming her life, Forlevia might not have been able to survive.
Despite being a child prodigy in forging her own path, Forlevia had not yet had the time to allow her skills to fully mature and blossom to their full potential.
As a result, she found herself no match for five opponents of a similar skill level to hers.
Just as she was about to succumb to their relentless strikes, Forlevia recalled being in possession of aid and hurriedly produced a wooden box from her pocket.
After letting the box fall and shatter, she obtained the Pill of Valoroum within which was given to her by the Divine Brigadier.
Despite there being three in total, the only one left was entrusted into Forlevia’s care long ago to be used when she needed it the most.
In other words, it was used to ensure the continued survival of The Cardinal Hall’s future through its heir which to the Divine Brigadier was Forlevia.
Forlevia was in grave danger at that point. Despite the attempts of her opponents to merely capture her, she was determined not to allow them the opportunity to do so.
From the instant Forlevia ingested the pill, she felt a surge of red-hot power from her belly all the way through to her fingertips.
At that moment, she felt as if the wrath of a dragon who had been asleep for a thousand years was awakening within her.
With a primal roar that shook the ground escaping from her lips, soldiers from both sides of the battle froze as if in the presence of true divinity.
Even the representatives from The Cardinal Hall were awestruck by the sight.
Though they knew of the power of the Pill of Valoroum, they did not expect it to be of this extent.
They were unaware that the pill would only bring out one’s true potential after they had maximized their natural ceiling, as Forlevia had.
At the time of his consumption, the Divine Brigadier himself had only managed to increase his ceiling by only a little bit because the effect of the pill was contingent upon the consumer’s own ability.
At that moment, Forlevia was exuding the true power of the pill.
She was so powerful that all five of her opponents were forced back just when they were about to succeed in their endeavor.
Upon noticing that the alliance was about to be overwhelmed by the Diviniteria forces, she leaped in between them and with another burst of brute force, threw the entire battalion of the enemy back.
What raw power to be able to single-handedly turn the entire tide of war!
With the aid of the pill, Forlevia had managed to ascend yet another level beyond her natural capabilities.
The troops of Diviniteria stood quaking in fear.
Forlevia’s power must be equal to Sacrioria’s! What a terrifying show of force! With the basics of her abilities already that powerful, Forlevia would be able to manipulate the elements with even greater finesse than she did before.
Many of the Diviniteria forces fell from Forlevia’s swift blow.
At the sight of their fallen comrades, the others scrambled to avoid being hit.
At this rate, she is going to turn the entire tide of battle all on her own!
Mr. X frowned thoughtfully as he deduced the impermanent nature of the augmentation. “She swallowed a pill which granted her an extraordinary burst of strength. We just have to wait for the effects to wear off then we can overwhelm her again. Notify Sacroria of the proceedings and inform Dr. Erebus that there is a person and a pill that might be of interest to him!”
Despite looking as if she had the battle entirely in control on her own, Forlevia felt the effects of the pill wearing off.
The illusion of my heroism will soon be shattered.
