Ch. 2781..2790
Chapter 2781 The Enhanced Version Of Leviathan
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The Diviniterians gasped as soon as they saw a ginormous being coming out of the vortex.
It looked almost the same as the Leviathan created by Dr. Erebus, but it was three times greater in size, which meant it was nearly a thousand feet tall and more than half a mile long.
The Diviniterians were utterly stupefied when they encountered something that gigantic. My goodness! The Leviathans were already giants, but this creature is even larger! And its structure looks almost the same as a Leviathan. This thing must be created based on the same design!
“It’s a set-up! We’ve been fooled!” shouted Mr. X.
It was only then the Diviniterians realized that the Zarainians knew all along about the Leviathans they hid under the power station. The Zarianians must’ve studied our Leviathans thoroughly. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to replicate the creatures. Be that as it may, it’s almost unbelievable how they managed to create a bigger and stronger version of our Leviathans in such a short time. In terms of material used and combat power, the Zarianian’s version seems to be far superior. But how did they even do it?
Covered in cold sweats, the Diviniterians all froze like statues in the face of the enormous being.
Like the Diviniterians, Black Hawk was also very much astounded, for he had no idea that Zarain possessed a trump card like that.
He, too, realized that the Zarainians knew about the Leviathans under the power station all along. Now I understand why Smythe seemed so calm. He knew what the Diviniterians were up to, so he had the Leviathans analyzed. The others thought they had control, but it was the Zarainians who had true control all the while!
Staring at the creature that could easily outclass a Leviathan, Black Hawk was completely stunned. What else have the Zarainians been hiding? How did they manage to create a being three times larger than a Leviathan in such a short time?
He could not help but shiver when he looked at Smythe.
The Defenders of the Galaxy successfully shook everyone at the scene with their enhanced version of Leviathan, but that was not all.
Splash!
It turned out that they had created a dozen of the same creature, which suddenly appeared to cut off the Diviniterians.
With nowhere else to go, the Diviniterians started to panic.
Since the beings were not exactly the same as the Leviathans they had created before, the Diviniterians had no idea to deal with the creatures.
Their enemies had made so much improvement to their design that the creatures were almost unrecognizable.
The Diviniterians could tell just by looking that the gigantic beings were extremely difficult to deal with, and their scanning device only proved that they were right.
Even though the enormous creatures had no weakness, the Diviniterians knew the only way to move forward was to do everything they could to kill the beings.
When they charged forward, so did the enhanced version of Leviathans.
Although the creatures were only three times larger than a Leviathan, their combat prowess far exceeded that of the inferior version.
Such formidable beings were a force to be reckoned with and one that the Diviniterians did not take lightly.
Another all-out war broke out when the enhanced Leviathans and the Diviniterians collided.
However, the Diviniterians were just like the Erudians faced with their Leviathans.
Not only did they fail to harm the enhanced Leviathans in any way, but they also failed to defend themselves.
The Diviniterians were utterly helpless against the ginormous beings.
Chapter 2782 The Fighters Of Sacroria
The Diviniterian troops were helpless.
Only Mr. X and the rest clashed with the enemies directly, hoping to find a solution.
However, they could not break through yet.
Behind them, the Defenders of the Galaxy were starting to corner them.
They had no choice but to battle it out—there were simply no other solutions.
“Has the alliance and those from Erudia caught up with us?” asked Mr. X warily.
“Not yet! We don’t know if it’s a part of a scheme. When the alliance faced the full force of our troop’s attacks, they were delayed. Till now, they had not broken through the defense barrier. Why do I feel that they’re doing it on purpose?” the subordinate answered, feeling puzzled.
Frowning, Mr. X replied, “They’re doing it on purpose! They are deliberately staying back to watch us fight with the Defenders of the Galaxy. The more violent the battle, the better. In fact, the best-case scenario for them is if both parties suffer severe losses!”
The others chimed in, “Yeah, that’s right! They’re definitely spectating this.”
“They want us and the Defenders of the Galaxy to take a massive blow. Theoretically, both of us are the alliance’s enemies!”
Everyone thought the alliance stopped moving after encountering a Diviniterian troop’s attack because they wanted to spectate the fight and that it was a deliberate act on their side.
However, they also understood that it had nothing to do with any plots or the alliance hoping to spectate the fight.
There was only one reason—the alliance was too weak.
Forlevia, the only one who could fight, was wounded. The others sustained injuries too.
Even though the alliance had a lot of people and seemed formidable, their abilities were limited. They could not break through Diviniteria’s defense barrier at all.
In spite of the small number of fighters dispatched by Diviniteria, the alliance was successfully held up.
Everyone’s guesses were wrong.
The alliance was simply too inept!
If they were skilled enough, they would have long caught up to them.
“That’s great! Since they’re spectating, they won’t intervene in our battle with the Defenders of the Galaxy. Even the Esoteric Guild and the Ecclesiastic Order won’t be participating! In that case, we won’t have to worry about people attacking us in the rear. We just need to battle it out with the Defenders of the Galaxy!” Mr. X declared confidently.
The others shared his sentiments too.
Hence, they started combating the Defenders of the Galaxy vigorously like madmen.
They no longer had a plan to escape. Instead, they would kill their way through like a tyrant.
Every enemy ahead of them would be defeated and killed!
Once Diviniteria was infuriated, no one would be able to bear the consequences of their wrath.
The Defenders of the Galaxy’s advantage was that their equipment and weapons were very targeted and innovative.
Furthermore, they were extremely familiar with the Lab of Gods.
However, they had too few fighters. If their targets were inaccurate, they would be unable to block the attacks launched by the fighters from Diviniteria.
After all, even though four fighters like Mr. X had died, there were still around a dozen of them left.
There were also a lot of fighters like the Great Void.
Thus, their power could not be underestimated.
A chaotic and violent fight ensued as the troops of Diviniteria were driven by the will to kill their enemies.
It was tragic—both parties had a lot of casualties, but the Defenders of the Galaxy suffered a greater loss.
Yet, they still posed a threat to Diviniteria.
For instance, the enhanced version of Leviathans wreaked havoc on the troops of Diviniteria, causing them to suffer significant losses.
It was a threat that they wanted to eliminate immediately.
However, if someone as powerful as Mr. X could not do that, no one else could.
For a moment, those from Diviniteria were stumped for solutions.
They had no choice but to bear with the loss.
The enhanced version of Leviathans continued their rampage as the Defenders of the Galaxy tried to use them to defeat Diviniterian troops.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a golden beam of light descended from the sky and flashed across the air at lightning speed.
It was a golden arrow!
When it was approaching the battlefield, the golden glow became extremely bright. It was as dazzling as the sun, forcing everyone to squint.
Swoosh!
It pierced through an enhanced Leviathan, the golden light crushing its body into smithereens.
Just like that, the towering machine, which was over three hundred meters tall, collapsed in front of everyone.
“Sacroria is here!”
Chapter 2783 Only They Are Worthy Of Anything Related To God
When those from Diviniteria witnessed that scene, they erupted into an uproar.
It was the greatest moment for them.
Overwhelmed with joy, many of them immediately burst into tears.
Even Mr. X was so excited that he felt like crying.
Sacroria is finally here! Diviniteria’s ambitious plan is going to be fulfilled… Once Sacroria appears, everyone else will be a complete nonentity. All they can do is wait to be slaughtered. Everyone will soon die! None of them will remain standing.
That sudden scene caused both sides to be stunned. Subconsciously, they froze and glanced in the direction of the arrow.
Indeed, a golden figure was floating in the sky, enveloped in a saintly glow.
He was holding a golden crossbow.
God! A true God! Compared to people like Mr. X in Diviniteria, he’s the only one who can truly be called a God!
A God, just like those mentioned in the legends, had appeared in front of everyone.
It was simply too unbelievable.
Zap!
Another golden arrow shot through the sky.
Boom!
It pierced through another enhanced version of the Leviathan.
That time around, everyone was able to catch a clearer view.
The moment the arrow pierced through it, the golden glow expanded rapidly. As bright as the midday sun, the light crushed the Leviathan into pieces.
How terrifying! He’s invincible!
Whoosh!
In the next second, everyone saw a golden figure fly through the sky like a comet. Wielding a huge sword, he stabbed another Leviathan.
Boom!
A whirlpool appeared in the ocean. Another enhanced Leviathan crumbled into pieces after being split by the golden glow.
Then, a golden figure emerged in the middle of a Leviathan, holding a trident.
Crack!
Soon, another enhanced Leviathan exploded into pieces.
More golden figures appeared, one after another.
Whenever one of them appeared, they would strike down an enhanced Leviathan.
Soon, all ten of the enhanced Leviathan had been destroyed.
The Zarain must have spent an exorbitant sum building them. Otherwise, they would not have stopped at ten.
When the Diviniterian troops saw that all ten of the Leviathans had collapsed, they were overjoyed.
They started prostrating themselves, praying to the figures in the sky as though they were welcoming the arrival of actual gods.
Sacroria’s arrival signified the death of the others.
The moment they came, they wiped out all the enhanced Leviathans, which proved that they were much more powerful than anyone present there.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Golden figures continued to emerge. Their appearance would definitely deal a huge blow to the Defenders of the Galaxy, with devastating casualties ensuing from it.
In the end, eighteen figures gathered together.
There were initially eighteen positions in Sacroria. It was only afterward that Dr. Erebus, the only normal human, joined.
Other than Dr. Erebus, the other eighteen Archangels had appeared.
Those eighteen Archangels from Sacroria were like eighteen suns, shining so brightly that everyone could barely open their eyes.
“Doomsday has arrived!” yelled Mr. X and the rest.
All of them jumped in excitement, having seen a glimmer of hope.
With the appearance of the eighteen Archangels of Sacroria, no one could stop them.
The Defenders of the Galaxy were terrified, including the alliance at the back.
The eighteen Archangels were simply too intimidating and terrifying!
Even those who had taken the Pill of Valoroum were no match for them.
After all, everyone had seen how powerful Forlevia was earlier.
Hence, everyone was even more fearful when eighteen people who were even mightier than her showed up.
Even Smythe and the rest, who were in charge of strategy, were scared when they saw Sacroria descending.
After all, they were simply too powerful.
Only they were worthy enough to be addressed as Gods.
Those from Black Hawk were even more terrified.
This is simply too scary! They are powerful enough to make the Defenders of the Galaxy disappear at any moment!
At a distance, Levi and the rest were waiting as well. When the Archangel of Sacroria appeared, he immediately glanced over.
Chapter 2784 Levi Can Finally Unleash His True Powers
The eighteen Archangels of Sacroria wore gold armor, looking as dignified as gods.
Judging from their domineering aura, Levi could tell they had immense strength.
Indeed, they were much stronger than the people he had encountered at Restricted Area 76.
However, they could not be hailed as Gods.
They just happened to be a mighty race above the level of current civilization, possessing the most powerful talent and the most advanced technology.
It was probably a very advanced race that had been around since ancient times.
However, there were only a dozen of them left at the present moment.
Their objective of setting up the Lab of Gods was perhaps to restore the previous prosperous days of their race.
As for the core members of Lab of Gods, they were a random mix of people.
For example, Dr. Erebus was just an ordinary human being. However, due to his strong powers, he was recruited into the Lab of Gods and was even made a part of Sacroria.
In other words, they were merely a motley crew of people with strong abilities.
However, the objective of the crew was to create those Archangels of Sacroria.
According to Levi’s understanding, the objective of Project Genesis was to create a place like Restricted Area 76.
He did not expect it to be the creation of Sacroria!
After observing the situation, he immediately caught on.
All the skills and abilities of the Lab of Gods had originated from there.
It could be said that the eighteen of them possessed the skills and abilities of everyone from the Lab of Gods.
After all, that was where they had learned their capabilities.
The terrifying powers they wielded were simply unbelievable.
The appearance of the eighteen Archangels of Sacroria left everyone totally flabbergasted.
Even Levi’s interest was aroused.
Their powers were indeed unfathomable and just the sort of opponents he wanted.
Everything he had prepared could finally be used.
At the same time, he could finally unleash his true powers.
It was time for everyone to witness his prowess.
Levi rubbed his palms together in excitement.
“It’s time for action!”
Mutant Number Thirteen, Fearsome Number Four, and Cyrus had gathered next to him.
With that, their combat prowess should be comparable to that of Sacroria’s.
Meanwhile, the troops of Diviniteria successfully converged with Sacroria on the battlefield.
“Erudia is over there! The Ecclesiastic Order and the Esoteric Guild are at the back, observing our battle with Defenders of the Galaxy. They would not intervene for the time being.”
Mr. X reported the current situation to everyone from Sacroria.
“If that’s the case, let’s defeat Defenders of the Galaxy first before dealing with the Esoteric Guild and the Ecclesiastic Order!”
The members of Sacroria came to a unanimous decision.
“Kill them!”
Just when Levi and his group were about to strike, the army of Diviniteria and Sacroria started charging toward Defenders of the Galaxy.
After the two sides clashed, it did not take long for Defenders of the Galaxy to be thoroughly defeated.
Sacroria was simply too powerful.
Given that it only took one of them to break down the entire defense of Defenders of the Galaxy, the strength of eighteen of them combined was simply unimaginable.
“Retreat! Fall back at once!”
Defenders of the Galaxy had no choice but to retreat immediately.
They had already suffered devastating losses from that single clash, with a quarter of their soldiers either dead or wounded.
If they did not retreat at once, they would be wiped out in no time.
The eighteen Archangels of Sacroria were simply way too strong.
At the command center, Black Hawk and the others felt their hair stand on end as they witnessed Defenders of the Galaxy’s crushing defeat.
They could not help but wonder if it was even possible to defeat Sacroria.
Indeed, Sacroria was not to be trifled with.
Black Hawk instinctively checked out the expressions of Smythe and the other higher-ups.
He saw them observing the situation in silence, looking calm and composed.
It seemed as though they were not the least bit worried about the current state of affairs.
Their brows were furrowed, and they appeared a little anxious, seemingly looking forward to something.
However, Black Hawk was certain that those men were definitely not worried about the current crisis.
They seemed to be waiting for something.
As such, he decided to stop panicking as well and waited quietly with them.
Soon after, the main forces of Defenders of the Galaxy retreated all the way to the back.
Three airships were seen hovering in the sky.
Finally, Sacroria had reached there while pursuing them.
Suddenly, Smythe and the other higher-ups smiled. “They have finally entered the zone…”
Chapter 2785 Mysterious Equipment
Smythe and the other higher-ups were all smiling.
Seeing that Sacroria had entered that area, the men grinned from ear to ear.
Why are they so happy?
Black Hawk was confused.
He was unable to figure out how Defenders of the Galaxy could defeat Sacroria, given the current circumstances.
Yet, his superiors looked so calm and confident, as though they had everything under control.
It would be possible to deal with Diviniteria alone, but after witnessing the prowess of the eighteen Archangels of Sacroria, Black Hawk was utterly numb with shock.
It was just not something they could handle.
From his understanding, it was impossible for Zarain to come up with a solution to deal with Sacroria.
Thus, the man was unable to figure out the reason for his superiors’ excitement, especially when Sacroria was already getting closer to the command center.
Perhaps they do have a plan in mind?
“Let’s begin then!” Just then, Smythe and the other exchanged glances and began to issue an order.
“Begin? What does that mean?”
Black Hawk and the others were confused, wondering if they did have a solution in place.
Levi and the rest had been following closely behind the army of Diviniteria, waiting for a chance to strike.
Just when they decided to go into action, something strange seemed to be going on with Defenders of the Galaxy ahead.
The three airborne airships suddenly started moving.
Those three aircraft were used for transportation purposes.
Suddenly, the cargo compartments of the aircraft opened.
Inside the compartments were multiple sophisticated panels that looked like solar panels, and each of them was over a thousand meters tall.
There were numerous gadgets fixed to the panels, possibly hundreds of thousands of them on each panel.
Given that all three airships were used to carry those panels, there must be a considerable number of them altogether.
In the next instant, the hundreds of thousands of panels combined.
It was as though a majestic gateway had just descended from the sky.
One end of the combined panel stretched into the depths of the sky while the other end extended down, reaching just above the ocean’s surface, separating the world into two.
Everyone who witnessed the scene could feel goosebumps all over them.
Earlier on, the enhanced Leviathan that was merely over three hundred meters tall was already a majestic sight to behold.
However, compared to the panels that emerged from the airships, that was simply nothing.
The heavenly gate was so tall that the end was not even in sight, and it was impossible to give an estimation of its exact height.
The fact that it divided the world into two halves was staggering.
Everyone was stunned by the immense wall that had suddenly appeared in front of them, including the eighteen Archangels that were at the forefront.
The eighteen of them could not help but halt their advances.
Shock colored their features as they stopped to stare at the barrier.
Even Levi and the rest were stumped.
What is this?
Everyone had the same thought.
However, given the spectacular sight of the equipment, they knew that there was definitely some use for it.
It might be used to deal with Diviniteria.
Not only were the outsiders stunned, but everyone from Defenders of the Galaxy, as well as Black Hawk and the other special forces agents, who were high-ranking officials in Zarain, were also equally stupefied.
They were completely unaware that Zarain was in possession of such advanced equipment.
In fact, they did not even know that something like that existed.
Logically speaking, it would take a lot of effort to assemble such a setup.
It was not possible for Zarain to have accomplished it alone.
However, given the number of resources and workforce used in the research and development of such technology, there had to be some traces left behind.
It did not make sense to Black Hawk and the rest that there was no hint of that at all and that they were kept entirely in the dark.
That was especially so given their statuses in the country.
However, it was indeed a fact that the equipment had appeared out of nowhere.
They were dumbstruck, and it was perfectly reasonable for them to feel that way.
“W-What… What is this for?” Black Hawk could not help but ask.
The rest of the agents huddled around as well, dying to find out what was going on.
However, Smythe merely shot them a glance before instructing, “Activate the equipment at once! Hurry!”
Chapter 2786 Reversal
Instead of responding directly to Black Hawk’s question, the man replied placidly, “Just wait and see!”
Everyone was still unable to return to their senses.
In front of them was a gigantic panel created by merging hundreds of thousands of solar panels!
Even though those might not be solar panels, the panels were functioning in a similar manner. Even the technology used to manufacture them was the same.
While everyone was still gaping at it, the gigantic panel was suddenly activated.
The countless gadgets that were fixed onto the panels started operating.
With crackling sounds, electric currents traveled across all the gadgets.
The energy flowing across the panels was downright terrifying, sending shock waves across the ocean.
There were sudden flashes of lightning followed by claps of thunder in the sky, and a storm ensued.
Everything that was happening appeared to be against the laws of nature.
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening noise sounded, which seemed capable of tearing the world apart.
Everyone could feel the immense energy that was released from the gigantic panel.
Instinctively, all of them either sought shelter or tried to defend themselves against the energy waves.
In preparation to withstand the impact of the energy wave, the eighteen Archangels of Sacroria put up golden glowing barriers before themselves.
However, everyone quickly realized that nothing had happened.
The loud noise created by the barrier a moment ago was just like a gust of strong wind that swept across the crowd.
“Hmm? Why does my head feel so heavy? It feels as if there’s a huge object stuck in there. I think my head is going to explode!”
“A-Are my legs still there? Why do I feel like I’m flying? I can’t feel my legs at all!”
“My head is heavy, but my legs feel so light! What’s going on…”
“I think I’m going to faint. It feels like my blood is flowing the other way…”
The same phenomenon seemed to be happening to everyone. They could feel their heads spinning.
It seemed as if everything had just been reversed.
Everyone felt as though their head was on the ground, and their legs were up in the air.
They were sure that their blood was flowing in the opposite direction, and all of their body mechanisms were operating in a reverse manner.
Confusion washed over them.
It was even more terrifying to note that the army of Diviniteria was affected the most.
Other than experiencing the same effects as the rest, they could feel their abilities being suppressed.
They were unable to exert any of their moves or superpowers.
Everything had been reversed.
In such a situation, the people of Diviniteria were unable to exercise any of their powers.
For example, a fighter who had the same abilities as Great Void could absorb the powers of his opponents, but as of then, he felt as if everything was reversed.
Once he activated his abilities, he could feel his powers being sucked out of his body.
It was almost as though he was being engulfed by the atmosphere, and there was no way he could stop it.
The other fighters faced similar problems as well. At their wit’s end, they were stumped for a solution to handle the situation.
None of them was able to execute their moves or superpowers, with everything working in the reverse direction.
It was mind-blowing!
Of course, Defenders of the Galaxy and World Alliance were also facing the same situation.
Even Black Hawk and the rest at the command center were impacted.
However, just then, Smythe and some others walked over to Black Hawk and attached a box to his body.
After pressing a button on the box, the agent’s body was covered in a battle suit flashing with blue light.
Instantly, Black Hawk felt that things had returned to normal, and the strange feeling was gone.
It was the same for everyone else after they put on the battle suit.
The rapidly changing events sent them reeling.
It was apparent that Zarain had made preparations for the battle.
“This is…”
When Levi perceived the changes, his expression changed drastically.
Mutant Number Thirteen and Fearsome Four were restricted entirely, unable to exert any energy in the reversed situation.
They were utterly powerless.
However, the effects on Levi and Cyrus were relatively minimal, similar to those experienced by ordinary human beings.
“They… They seemed to have manipulated this entire territory!” Levi muttered to himself, frowning.
Chapter 2787 A Territory Under The Control Of Zarain
“Did they tamper with the magnetic field?” Cyrus asked.
That seemed to be the case, according to his experience.
Previously, in order to deal with those who possessed superpowers, equipment was specially created to manipulate magnetic fields.
The more intense the disturbance, the more effective it was at restricting the powers of those fighters.
Under such circumstances, there was no way the fighters could exercise any of their skills or superpowers.
“No! It’s not that simple. Not only did they tamper with the magnetic field, but they have also manipulated everything else in the environment!” Levi replied in astonishment.
According to his observation, Zarain’s gigantic panel did more than just manipulate the magnetic field. It had changed the magnetic field completely.
The poles of the magnetic field had been reversed, which resulted in the current phenomenon where everything seemed to be working in the opposite direction.
The stronger fighters could easily feel the effects of entering into a completely different environment where the magnetic field poles were reversed entirely.
The impact was just too keenly felt.
Naturally, the objective of doing that was to deal with Sacroria.
It was clear that that was the moment Zarain had been waiting for.
They had been patiently waiting for Sacroria and the army of Diviniteria to enter the zone before activating the setup.
However, what Levi did not expect was that the equipment had divided the territory into two, forming a world of its own.
It could be said that the area was completely isolated from the rest of the world, becoming a territory that was entirely under Zarain’s control.
Whether it was gravity or the magnetic field, everything was controlled by Zarain.
In other words, Zarain had full power in the territory, and they could do anything they wanted.
They were the law and could do whatever they pleased!
That was the divine tool that Zarain had specially prepared for Sacroria. It was a huge gift indeed!
Meanwhile, at the command center of Defenders of the Galaxy, Smythe exclaimed, “Welcome to the Divinity Crushing Zone! We hope you like the present we’ve specially prepared for you!”
The imposing divine tool named “Divinity Crushing Zone” was a piece of equipment that Zarain had spent years developing, specifically used to deal with the Lab of Gods and Sacroria.
As its name implied, Divinity Crushing Zone was created to crush divine beings. With the tool activated, even the Gods would be subdued by Zarain, whereby they could not exercise their powers within the territory.
It had become apparent that the tool was specially created to deal with the “Gods.”
After observing the situation, Black Hawk and the rest finally understood what was going on.
It’s so terrifying. So scary!
Previously, to Black Hawk, the Lab of Gods and Levi were already frightening enough.
However, judging by the current situation, Zarain seemed to be the worst terror of them all.
The others immediately paled into comparison.
Besides, Black Hawk’s intuition told him that that was just a part of what Zarain had and not all of it.
No one knew what could be hiding behind that gigantic barrier.
The thought of it was outrageously appalling.
No wonder Smythe and the other higher-ups were so calm and composed. It turned out that they were so full of confidence because they had such a trump card.
Black Hawk and the rest did not speak after that and merely continued staring at the setup while observing the situation on the battlefield.
At that moment, everyone from the army of Diviniteria and Sacroria was shell-shocked.
They could feel that the changes in their bodies were intensifying.
Even though they did not know how exactly the setup functioned, they were sure that it was an extremely threatening tool that was used to deal with them.
The eighteen Archangels of Sacroria felt the bodily changes as well and could feel their abilities being suppressed. Even though the feeling was not that strong yet, the intensity was increasing slowly.
“Blow it up!”
“Hurry! Blast it at once!”
The huge equipment in front of them was like millions of mirrors reflecting light, causing immense frustration and annoyance to the fighters of Sacroria.
Instinctively, the Archangels of Sacroria tossed out their weapons in an attempt to destroy the Divinity Crushing Zone.
However, the strength of their weapons was greatly diminished.
Within the zone, not only were their abilities restricted, but the powers of their weapons were also greatly weakened.
After all, no matter how powerful their weapons were, they were still made from materials such as metals.
Chapter 2788 Important Discovery
Within the areas controlled by Zarain, it was extremely easy to restrain objects that were made of metal.
A slight interference with the magnetic field was enough to get it done.
In spite of that, they were confident their weapons were still powerful enough to pierce the equipment.
Boom!
When their holy weapons struck the equipment in front of them, a strange shockwave reverberated across the surface. However, it wasn’t damaged at all.
Once the shockwave dissipated, everything returned to normal.
This…
The eighteen Archangels from Sacroria were dumbstruck.
“Can this material be…”
“T-This…”
Having realized something, their expressions drastically changed.
From their tone, it appeared that they recognized the material the equipment was made from.
They were so shocked by the discovery that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
No one could imagine what it was that astounded the eighteen Archangels to that extent.
“Can it be… Behind them…”
Upon the realization, the Archangels began speaking gibberish.
Exchanging glances, their eyes were filled with bewilderment.
With that, everyone furrowed their brows with a grim expression. It was as if they were expecting the arrival of a powerful foe.
In fact, two of them were looking forward to a glorious death.
At that moment, the men from Diviniteria arrived.
“Leave this to us. We will break down this wall at once!”
This group of fighters didn’t think much of the equipment in front of them and assumed they could break it down easily.
However, one of the Archangels warned, “You won’t be able to. Even though you are not restrained, it’s impossible to do so! Even we can’t open it within a short time, let alone you.”
Everyone gasped as they couldn’t believe what they heard.
Given that Sacroria can’t do it. What should we do then?
No one had any idea.
At that moment, everyone from Diviniteria had arrived, except for Dr. Erebus and his men.
Coincidentally, Mr. X received an important update from Dr. Erebus.
He was informed that the Ecclesiastic Order and the Esoteric Guild were fakes.
Instead, they were both made up of actors who dressed up in costumes with the goal of intimidating Diviniteria.
After conducting a series of investigations, Dr. Erebus concluded that the two groups were nothing more than legends that weren’t real. After all, they consisted of nothing but impostors.
Evidently, Dr. Erebus had returned immediately upon learning that their headquarters was under attack.
Based on what Dr. Erebus had said, Erudia had known all along that the Lab of Gods feared the Ecclesiastic Order and Esoteric Guild.
That was the reason why they put on such an act.
On top of that, Dr. Erebus also discovered that Forlevia’s technique was created by herself, and she was never actually a student of a cleric.
What? The Ecclesiastic Order and Esoteric Guild are fake? However, didn’t some of the soldiers from the alliance use a giant crossbow to kill the four Destroyers? How can they be impostors too? However, come to think of it, no one has seen who the perpetrator was despite the killings. Could our comrades have been killed by humans?
Could they really have been from the Ecclesiastic Order or the Esoteric Guild? No, it’s not certain. There’s a possibility that some high-tech machine is operating the giant crossbow. Or perhaps, there’s some other explanation for it. If it really were the fighters from the two factions, they would have appeared from the beginning instead of sniping from the shadows. In that case, my judgment was wrong. They weren’t waiting for Diviniteria and the Defenders of the Galaxy to battle it out. It was a mistake to think that. After all, they weren’t able to attack at all.
Holding that thought in mind, he knew something was amiss.
Dr. Erebus’ explanation served to confirm his suspicions that the two factions never existed at all. Consequently, they had fallen deep into a trap set by Erudia.
Chapter 2789 The Last Flame Of Sacroria
However, they had assumed Levi faked the two groups to intimidate them.
In truth, Levi was doing it to lure Sacroria out.
Nevertheless, Dr. Erebus deserved credit for unraveling the charade.
Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do after learning of the news, especially in their current predicament.
As a result, Mr. X and his men fell into silence.
After all, Sacroria and Diviniteria’s current enemy wasn’t Erudia at all.
Instead, it was Zarain, who knew them extremely well.
Furthermore, by the time they found out, it was already too late.
At the crucial moment, Mr. X ordered, “Dr. Erebus, you have to go into hiding, as things aren’t looking good here. Therefore, you shouldn’t come here matter what.”
Initially, he had hoped that Dr. Erebus would arrive with reinforcements.
However, the current situation was too risky for him to do so. Therefore, he had better not come over just in case everyone was killed in the battle.
The only hope they had left was to get Dr. Erebus to go into hiding.
Consequently, Dr. Erebus agreed to not go over and only watch from the shadows.
Also, he could carry the last of the Sacroria legacy with him.
Back at the battle, the fighters from Sacroria and Diviniteria tried to pry open the surface but to no avail.
Moreover, the restraints they felt kept getting stronger.
Even the eighteen Archangels of Sacroria could feel the terrifying power of the restraints.
If they didn’t resolve their predicament in time, they were aware of what they were going to face next.
The more they found out, especially about the material the surface was made of, the more they knew how dire the consequences that awaited them would be.
“Retreat!”
“Withdraw, quickly!”
“Go! Go! Go!”
Someone gave the order to retreat.
Just when the troops from Diviniteria wanted to pull out, they suddenly realized that it was impossible to move their feet. Fleeing was now out of the question.
It felt as if their feet weighed ten thousand tons.
The stronger one was, the greater the restraints placed on them.
For example, Mr. X felt as if trying to move his feet was like trying to move mountains. He was unable to even lift them up, let alone move. In fact, it was the same for his arms and every other part of his body.
Regardless of how much strength he used, his efforts were futile.
Even when he desperately tried to move his limbs to the extent of tearing them apart, they didn’t even budge at all. Furthermore, all of Mr. X’s techniques were prevented from being unleashed.
Under the restraints placed within the area, they seemed to have had everything taken away from them.
They ended up becoming ordinary humans, and in some sense, even weaker than ordinary men.
That was the effect of the Divinity Crushing Zone.
It was an area where Zarain had the ability to control everything within it.
Once the equipment kicked into gear, the fighters were prevented from using their talents and techniques. It even stopped them from moving by making it impossible for them to lift their legs.
The power from the bloodlines they possessed was also outright sealed.
In fact, their lives began to wither away, regardless of their race or body constitution.
Within this zone controlled by Zarain, anything could happen.
Boom!
Suddenly, one of the fighters beside Mr. X was crushed into mush by an invisible pressure.
“Argh!”
Another one had holes oozing blood appearing on his body and was soon covered by them.
“Argh!”
With an agonizing scream, his body gradually rotted away.
No one had any idea what sort of material it was.
Soon, screams of anguish began to fill the area.
Just like lambs awaiting slaughter, the troops from Diviniteria were being restrained by their feet.
Unable to move, all they could do was await their impending deaths.
Furthermore, everyone would be slaughtered in a different and unpredictable manner.
Watching their compatriots being killed around them one by one, they were overwhelmed by anguish.
Chapter 2790 The End Of Sacroria
It was unbelievably terrifying, for they didn’t know who would be next and when their turn would be.
To make matters worse, watching their comrades fall made them feel as if they were next.
That method of dying was terrifying psychologically.
Those who were awaiting their impending deaths were the ones who let out the most excruciating screams.
Even Mr. X was filled with panic when he saw everyone dropping dead like flies all around him.
There was no way he wouldn’t be frightened.
In contrast to how Diviniteria had proudly assumed that they could conquer the world and make enemies of everyone, they were now being slaughtered like livestock.
Moreover, they didn’t even have the ability to defend themselves.
It was an extremely pathetic sight.
Everyone from Diviniteria couldn’t believe how Zarain’s equipment could attack them with such ease.
They must know us very well, including all our strengths and weaknesses.
All this while, Diviniteria had never underestimated their opponents.
In fact, they were even fearful of Zarain.
It was just that Sacroria wouldn’t show themselves until Zarain made a move.
Even then, Sacroria and Diviniteria were still confident that they could easily defeat Zarain.
Unfortunately, they didn’t expect Zarain to be fully prepared to the extent of having ways to disable the divine tools that they used.
No one could have expected that Zarain had more advanced technology than the Lab of Gods.
Furthermore, they knew their enemies like the back of their palms and attacked their weaknesses accordingly.
Everyone within the World Alliance was shocked at how easily the troops from Diviniteria and the eighteen Archangels were subdued.
After all, they had suffered terrible casualties battling the same group of enemies without any chance of victory.
Consequently, everyone was dumbstruck at how easy it was for Zarain.
Even Levi was bewildered by the sight.
He had assumed that he would have the opportunity to battle them.
However, it was no longer necessary now.
Evidently, Zarain’s power was utterly terrifying.
Hence, he and Cyrus needed to flee from the areas Zarain controlled.
Or else, it would be trouble if they too were discovered and restrained.
Zarain?
Levi scratched his nose. At that moment, he realized that Zarain was a significantly bigger threat than the Lab of Gods.
In fact, they were the most powerful faction of all.
Without taking into account their other weapons, the equipment right in front of Levi was a testament to that fact.
What makes Zarain so special? Why is their technology so superior?
Levi thought back to the time when he was captured by Shield.
The special forces agents back then carried extremely powerful and advanced weapons such as The Infrangible Handcuffs.
Even though he was watching the Lab of Gods being destroyed, Levi felt no sense of jubilation at all.
Instead, he fell into a solemn mood, for he wasn’t sure if the equipment in front of him would restrict his powers.
He didn’t want to find out.
After half a day was gone, it was evident that Zarain was the one with the deepest and darkest secrets.
The thought itself was a frightening one.
As a result, Levi didn’t interfere and chose to quietly observe the situation.
At that moment, the Diviniteria army and those from Sacroria were being held stationary by Zarain.
While the troops from Diviniteria were dying one by one, the eighteen Archangels of Sacroria could barely move at all.
At that moment, a troop of soldiers in special armor arrived at the scene.
With equally sophisticated weapons in their arms, they were able to traverse the area swiftly without feeling the effects of the restraints.
The equipment they were wearing was capable of negating the effects of the Divinity Crushing Zone.
Without a doubt, the troops were there to eliminate Sacroria by taking out its eighteen Archangels.
“Sacroria, your days have come to an end!”
