Ch. 2851..2860
Chapter 2851 The South Pole Remained The Same
They thought they would be the safest during the catastrophe, yet, never did they expect such an outcome.
After all, none of them could have thought that the catastrophe would become a beneficial opportunity.
Not only did the humans not die from it, but they also turned into Deities who were far stronger than those from Lab of Gods.
Before the catastrophe, Erudia and Zarain were considered the top countries in the world.
However, the catastrophe turned the tide entirely—all the countries and forces became incredibly powerful simultaneously.
The top fighters such as Daxon from Erudia would pale by comparison.
The spiritual energy in the super-spiritual ley line was so domineering that any human who received its radiation would transform into fighters that easily overpowered people like Daxon.
In fact, Daxon would be an ant in the eyes of the Deities.
If Leviathans were to appear again, those mutated humans could destroy them effortlessly with their bare hands.
As for the Deities, they could probably destroy it simply by releasing their energy or casting a glance.
The eruption of the super-spiritual ley line led to spiritual energy revival, with every being in the world receiving the radiation of spiritual energy and undergoing transformations.
Those directly exposed to the pillars of light became unimaginably powerful and even obtained some impressive talents.
That was how the Deities came about.
The reality was that the fighters from Erudian Alliance and Defenders of the Galaxy could not even compare with the ordinary humans, let alone the Deities.
Having been subjected to the radiation of the spiritual energy, the Deities were the most powerful race in the world.
The techniques of Erudia and the technology of Zarain would not be able to fill the gap.
Both countries were utterly dumbfounded.
After the spiritual energy revival, the Super Nations that used to be at the top had fallen to the bottom.
Based on the current circumstances, it was impossible for Zarain to defeat any of those countries single-handedly.
Even Spaunia, which Zarain had oppressed for a long time, could easily defeat them.
In short, all those countries that managed to hide from the catastrophe had become the weakest countries.
It seemed like the world had eliminated them.
In regards to the mutated beasts encountered by the expedition teams, people from Spaunia could handle those mutated beasts easily, or they could just send out their Deities.
However, if Erudian Alliance and Defenders of the Galaxy faced those beasts, they could be completely helpless.
Since there was a Deity level among humans, surely there would be a Deity level among the beasts.
If that were the case, Erudia could be rendered powerless.
They would have no choice but to seek help from the Deities of other forces.
It was unknown what the backers of Zarain would do, but judging from the technologies they have displayed, they would not be able to handle the mutated beasts with ease.
One after another, countries started announcing their survival and the number of Deities they had.
Erudian Alliance and Defenders of the Galaxy were stupefied by the completely unexpected outcome.
They had put in so much effort and thought they had achieved what other countries could never succeed at.
They did all that to protect themselves against the catastrophe, yet they had prevented themselves from receiving the blessing.
They were at their wits’ end.
Meanwhile, Digital God, who was heading toward the South Pole, heard about the changes in the world.
However, the South Pole was different from the other places.
It was still covered in darkness, and no living creatures were there.
“I have a strong feeling that Mr. Garrison is still alive!” Digital God declared.
Chapter 2852 He Is Alive
If the environment in the South Pole turned out to be as good as the other places, Digital God might think Levi was dead.
However, the environment in that area was terrible beyond imagination, which meant there was a chance that Levi was still alive.
After all, it was the exact spot where the super-spiritual ley line erupted.
Hence, it was normal for it to be completely dark and filled with powerful energy radiation and irregular turbulences.
There must be some remains of the super-spiritual ley line since it could not have erupted completely.
A little remnant could still cause a considerable impact.
Suddenly, an idea crossed Digital God’s mind.
Forces like Erudia and Zarain that did not benefit from the catastrophe could come to the South Pole to make up for their missed opportunity.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Just then, the aircraft emitted abnormal warning sounds.
It seemed everything was malfunctioning after getting close to the area.
“Let’s retreat. This place feels weird!” the pilot uttered.
Digital God insisted, “Let’s go down and have a look. Don’t worry! I will design a few more defense systems! I promise we will get out of here alive!”
Upon hearing his assurance, they dived into the South Pole glacier slowly.
Darkness enveloped the entire place.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
As expected, all kinds of irregularities occurred after they went further in.
The piercing sound of the siren kept sounding.
The system of the aircraft was in a mess.
“Let me handle this!” Digital God operated the system personally and kept enhancing it.
Even so, the aircraft was breaking down.
Fortunately, they managed to enter the darkness safely.
Digital God had roughly understood the situation. The South Pole glaciers had been completely torn apart. Part of the area was the sea, and the water on the rest had evaporated, revealing the original topography—various caves and other peculiar landforms.
Far ahead, they detected a gigantic vortex.
Even till then, it was still raging on.
That giant vortex was also the main distribution point of the spiritual energy from the super-spiritual ley line.
Most of the energy came from there following the eruption of the super-spiritual ley line.
The huge vortex could have been a small hole previously.
Yet, it had expanded to around one-third of the area of the South Pole.
That showed how terrifying it was.
“Let’s retreat!”
The others all started to panic.
A statement from Digital God dashed all their hopes. “We can’t retreat anymore! The vortex is sucking us!”
The vortex was far too big and was still expanding.
No aircraft would be able to resist its suction force.
It seemed useless no matter how hard Digital God tried to enforce the aircraft.
Before long, the aircraft started losing balance.
As it spun, it was gradually sucked into the vortex.
The suction force increased as they got closer to it.
It was beyond their control.
We’re doomed. It’s over this time!
In the blink of an eye, the aircraft reached the core of the vortex.
It looked like the largest fan in the world, whereby there was a constant exchange of air current to send out the spiritual energy of the super-spiritual ley line continuously.
That occurrence was puzzling to them.
It was as though some device was installed under the vortex.
However, before Digital God could think much about it, the aircraft was caught in the vortex.
All the defense systems started collapsing.
They were about to have a crash.
“Argh!” everyone shouted desperately.
The body of the aircraft started burning.
It might explode any second, and it was still being sucked into the vortex.
When everyone thought it would be their end, the aircraft suddenly stopped moving.
It felt like a pair of hands pulled on it.
That was indeed what happened.
Chapter 2853 Saving The World Again
Everyone was stunned and left in utter bewilderment.
They saw a figure appearing beside them.
The figure was not wearing anything. His body looked perfect and as though it was cast with gold.
They took a closer look at the god-like man.
It is Levi! He is alive! How could that be possible?
It was the core of the spiritual ley line.
It meant Levi was exposed to at least eighty percent of the spiritual energy of the super-spiritual ley line.
One could imagine its impact simply by looking at what had happened to the world.
However, Levi was alive after enduring most of the spiritual energy.
That was beyond impressive.
However, when they were still overwhelmed with surprise, the aircraft started moving swiftly again.
It was pushed out from the vortex by Levi.
All of them passed out due to the strong quake.
When they regained their consciousness, they found themselves already in a safe place.
Yet, Levi was nowhere to be seen.
“Was earlier a dream? I thought I saw Levi!” someone rubbed his head and said.
“Were we dreaming?” Even Digital God started to doubt what they saw.
It felt so real and unreal at the same time.
The part that felt real was when they got sucked into the vortex and managed to survive for some reason.
On the other hand, the part that felt unreal was Levi was still alive.
Everyone was not sure what they saw, including Digital God.
In fact, Levi was alive.
When the super-spiritual ley line exploded, Levi singlehandedly blocked the spiritual energy from expanding.
He was able to withhold it in the beginning.
However, as the spiritual ley line continued to explode, the crack became bigger and bigger.
Eventually, Levi could not hold on anymore.
After enduring for forty minutes or so, he failed to suppress the explosion.
He broke down thoroughly like a leaf being blown away by the wind.
His body was wounded terribly due to the continuous impact.
Even someone as powerful as him could not stand against such strong spiritual energy.
He was about to be crushed by the spiritual energy, and there was nothing he could do.
Yet, at that critical moment, he suddenly felt as though a new surge of energy coursed through his being.
His whole body was activated, and he became immune to the impact of the spiritual energy.
He was not afraid of the spiritual energy anymore, and his body seemed to start adsorbing the energy.
With that, Levi received the impact of the spiritual energy repeatedly at the core.
It seemed all the spiritual energy was converted through him before it got released to the world.
It also seemed like its most destructive part was blocked by him.
Even though the spiritual energy was still strong after going through Levi, it seemed that the human body was able to absorb it.
That was why humans were able to survive the spiritual energy revival without many casualties. Instead, all of them became extremely powerful because of it.
In other words, Levi had filtered the spiritual energy of the super-spiritual ley line.
Human bodies could adsorb what came out of it.
It became harmless and beneficial to the human body.
With that, it changed the whole world, and Levi had once again become the savior of the planet!
If he did not stand at the frontline and convert the spiritual energy, it would have been the end of the world.
However, even Levi could not wrap his head around his ability.
He thought he was going to die amid the explosion.
Yet, his body seemed to be activated in the blink of an eye.
Without a doubt, he knew someone was helping him.
Who is helping me in secret?
Right away, Levi thought of his mentor.
Levi was sure the latter had again appeared at the critical moment and rescued him.
The latter even helped him to save the world.
After Levi experienced the crushing of the spiritual energy, his power increased.
As for how powerful he had become, he had no clue.
However, he felt he was at least two levels stronger than before.
Chapter 2854 Deity In Erudia
How strong have I become?
Levi wasn’t sure.
Nevertheless, he felt utterly different than before.
Previously, he felt his power was so strong that he could destroy a planet.
Yet, now he felt like the entire world was within him. It felt somehow supernatural to him, as though the whole world was merely an illusion.
It was as if he was sitting above the world and seeing everything from a god’s perspective.
The feeling was fascinating, as though everything was merely a blink away from him.
I didn’t expect I could still be alive or save the world again. It must be my mentor! If it weren’t for him, I would be dead now.
After leaving the South Pole, Levi made haste for Erudia.
He wanted to find out if the other humans survived the catastrophe.
Before long, he found out about the change that took place globally.
He was not startled as it happened because of him.
It was nothing compared to what he had seen in the core of the super-spiritual ley line.
Just then, he ran into a giant creature at sea near the South Pole.
It was a mutated python that looked like a dragon.
The scales on its body were shining slightly, and the slight halo around it was the symbol of a Deity.
This particular creature was much stronger than the ones that the special forces agents of Black Hawk and Daxon had encountered.
Even though they were all mutated, the spiritual energy was stronger here as it was nearer to the explosion at the South Pole.
Hence, this one resembled a dragon the most among all the mutated snakes.
It was also the strongest creature that he had ever seen.
Based on the standard of all countries, it was, without doubt, a Deity.
As it came across Levi, it opened its mouth and wanted to consume the latter.
That was the natural reflex of a creature.
“D*mn you!”
Levi let out a cold snort.
He took a step forward, and turbulences surrounded his body instantly.
He had not used any techniques but merely released some of his energy. That was the cause of the strong turbulences.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The mutated snake’s body started to crack due to the turbulences.
Levi then walked toward the snake.
The hundred-meter-long beast turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
It was truly a magnificent sight to behold!
Levi killed a Deity-level creature effortlessly simply by releasing his energy.
All the mutated creatures in that area witnessed that and bowed toward Levi fearfully.
As those creatures mutated, their intellectual ability had evolved too.
They understood how powerful Levi was, and they would not dare to cross him.
With that, they prostrated themselves before the man to show their submission.
After all, animals could detect energy better than humans. They had the ability in their blood.
With that, they could sense how powerful Levi was.
At that moment, Levi walked around the place casually.
Based on the current situation, all countries were afraid of the unknown fear.
After all, mutated creatures were everywhere.
No one dared to leave their houses hastily.
Even though humans were mutated too, no one dared to walk outside as carefree as Levi.
Many countries had even listed places where a large number of mutated beasts gathered as restricted areas.
Levi, on the other hand, did not care much about that.
He would kill anyone or anything standing in his way.
Indeed, there was no need for him to fear those creatures.
He had now figured out what happened to the entire world.
Most importantly, Erudia had missed the golden opportunity as they were hiding in Shelter.
Everyone in the world was talking about the same thing—There was no Deity in Erudia!
Levi sneered, “Who says there is no Deity in Erudia?”
Chapter 2855 The Weakest Will Be Oppressed
He had seen a lot throughout his lifetime.
Due to the change in the environment, some places became either permanently dark areas or raging with fire and frost.
These fire and frost were converted from spiritual energy, which was different from what everyone knew.
These places were the real forbidden areas.
Even a fighter who had been through the radiation could hardly survive in those places.
It would be a tremendous challenge for those who called themselves a Deity.
Even though the whole world had changed for the better, some places had become hellish.
They have no idea what is going on out there, yet they dare to call themselves Deities.
Nevertheless, Levi was not interested in that. The only thing that he cared about was seeing his friends and family.
He could easily defeat any of those Deities with a single move.
Not to mention, those Deities existed because of him.
In other words, he was the one who gave them the power.
By the time Levi returned to Erudia, everyone who had been hiding in Shelter had come out.
Meanwhile, everything in Erudia returned to normalcy.
However, due to the change in the environment, many areas had been listed as restricted zones, as there were all sorts of mutated creatures in those places.
Currently, no one in Erudia was capable of fighting those beasts.
Hence, the only thing they could do was seal off those areas. They used various protective settings to surround the restricted areas to prevent the beasts inside from coming out.
Nothing changed much for the majority of the people as life went on.
However, fear continued to bubble from within everyone’s hearts.
They all knew what they had missed as well—the golden opportunity because they went into hiding.
Initially, they thought those who could not hide would perish during this catastrophe.
They never expected the rest of the world to survive and even benefitted from the catastrophe.
It was the biggest disgrace to Erudia as they had become the weakest country overnight.
Meanwhile, Xyperia, who faced the catastrophe head-on, received the maximum degree of radiation impact of the spiritual energy.
Hence, they had the most Deity-level fighters at the moment.
With that, Xyperia had officially become the top of the world.
They could destroy Erudia effortlessly if they were to send out a Deity randomly.
Xyperia was totally out of Erudia’s league.
Even Raysonia, which was next to Erudia, also benefited from the catastrophe.
Their power was way above Erudia now.
The high-rank officials of Dragonites were utterly grim because of this phenomenon.
Never did they expect the outcome to be like this.
They had blocked out a golden opportunity with their own might.
However, they could not blame anyone for that but felt grateful that Levi and Gary had built Shelter to protect the people.
After all, no one saw this coming.
Even those allies of Erudia could not complain about what had happened.
After all, Erudia was considered their life savior.
They could only blame themselves for having such bad luck.
Zarain, and even the force behind them, did not expect this.
Who would have thought an explosion of the super-spiritual ley line would turn out to be a beneficial opportunity.
Levi rushed to Erudia and found out everyone was still alive. He heaved a sigh of relief.
Even though they did not become Deities, he was grateful they were alive.
We still have the chance as long as we are alive!
“You’re alive! That’s great! We thought you…” Daxon and the rest were thrilled to see Levi.
After all, Levi had gone to stop the explosion.
It was indeed a miracle for him to survive it.
Before Levi could ask about Zoey’s, Forlevia’s, and the rest’s whereabouts, rumbling sounds appeared in the East.
Suddenly, a figure emerged.
It seemed to be a Deity.
Upon noticing that, everyone felt the color drain from their faces.
As expected, Deities had begun to oppress Erudia after the latter became weak.
Chapter 2856 Enslaved
Even though most people had heard that there was no Deity in Erudia, no one ever confirmed it.
A hellish air enveloped the entire area and stunned everyone. The crowd suddenly felt like they couldn’t breathe at all.
Thump! One after another, their knees fell to the ground.
They were unable to withstand the aura from that Deity.
If the Deity wanted to kill them, he could make hundreds of thousands of citizens within the area perish simply by releasing his energy.
That was the vast difference in power between them.
Evidently, this Deity did not come to kill but to show off his power.
On the other hand, he came to verify if Erudia escaped the catastrophe and if the country really did not have any fighter or Deity born out of the disaster.
After all, the world was still wary of Erudia.
They even suspected that Erudia hid their Deities and spread false news to blind the rest.
Hence, they wanted to find out the truth.
“Hahaha. So it seems Erudia did really escape this catastrophe. There’s no Deity here! There is almost no spiritual energy in these people! What a bunch of trash! How could Erudia fall to such a disgrace? I could easily destroy the entire country if I want!” the Deity uttered arrogantly.
No one doubted what the Deity said. They knew he was capable of doing that.
After all, he was a Deity.
The crowd trembled incessantly in fear, including those who were on the same level as Daxon.
They knew their existence was like an ant compared to a Deity.
A Deity could wipe Erudia off the map of the world if he wanted to.
There was nothing they could do to stop that.
The Deity opened his mouth again. “It’s pointless to kill all of you. It’s not fun at all as you guys are too weak! However, it would be difficult for you to survive in this world!”
The Deity’s eyes suddenly lit up. “I’ve thought of a solution for you guys!”
He scanned the crowd and announced, “Why don’t you all become my slaves? You and your future generations, kneel before me and serve me! That’s the only way you can survive! I don’t need that many slaves. Everyone in this area should be enough. Come with me now! Or else I’ll kill all of you!”
The Deity from Raysonia made up his mind to enslave the inferior people of Erudia.
The people of Erudia were losing their minds as their heads started buzzing.
Are we really becoming slaves? Even our children?
Everyone started imagining their future fate.
It seemed their fate was going to become worse than an animal’s.
They would have to endure all sorts of humiliation to survive and were about to be brought away from their homeland and enslaved.
This is a huge disgrace!
However, the crowd was left with no choice.
After all, it was a Deity they were facing.
What could they do under those circumstances? There was no way they could fight against a Deity.
With the fate of the entire country at stake, slavery seemed to be a solution to survival.
They knew exactly how weak they were compared to the other countries.
It was only the beginning for their disastrous fate.
If other countries were to come to attack them as well, the suffering would be way beyond this.
They could at least still keep their lives if they became enslaved now.
Even though they would lose their freedom, they would at least be under the protection of a Deity.
With that, it was somehow a favorable option for them.
Everyone could imagine Erudians being the humblest race on the earth moving forward as slaves.
“Let’s accept this! We will die if we don’t!” The crowd heaved a long sigh.
Chapter 2857 Such Audacity
“Let’s go, all my slaves! Move!” the Deity from Raysonia shouted.
It felt as if lightning had struck and blown everyone into pieces.
Horror rose from the depth of everyone’s heart.
It sounded like an order from heaven, and no one dared to resist it.
“Hahaha. Divine Brigadier, the brain of The Cardinal Hall! You are no different from the ordinary citizens.” Just then, the Deity from Raysonia noticed Daxon among the crowd.
A malicious glint flashed across the Deity’s eyes as he spoke.
Less than a month ago, Daxon was still the top fighter in the world.
Yet, now he was going to end up becoming someone’s slave.
Now that the entire world was changing, it was as if his status had dropped from heaven to hell.
“Great! You will be my watchdog then! I will make you a customized gold chain!” The Deity intended to make Daxon his personal slave.
His lips curled into a satisfied smile as he decided on that.
“What are you guys waiting for? Move! Come with me now! Don’t force me to commit a mass slaughter!” he added.
His dominant aura forced everyone to gather and start walking.
It was as though they could not control their own bodies.
They wanted to resist, but they did not have the power.
After all, everyone was afraid of dying.
They would still have a chance to live if they became enslaved.
“Argh!” Daxon and the rest struggled desperately as they did not want to be enslaved.
However, their struggles were in vain.
They could not even control their bodies as an invisible force was compelling them to kneel and crawl forward.
Everyone at the scene was kneeling on the ground and crawling.
“Huh?” All of a sudden, the Deity of Raysonia was startled to see someone not being controlled.
What’s going on? That’s impossible! Why isn’t that ant not being controlled by me? Even Divine Brigadier couldn’t fight against my power.
“Huh?” When he looked again, the figure seemed to have disappeared.
This…
Ichirou Kitajima, the Deity of Raysonia, was utterly stunned.
He could not believe someone could escape from a Deity’s control. The latter even vanished under his nose.
How is that possible? I’m going crazy!
He immediately used all the strength he could muster to locate the vanished figure.
He was a Deity, and his consciousness could encompass everything in this area.
He would be able to detect any movement as tiny as an insect moving its wings.
He could even sense the growth of a plant.
A Deity had a keen perception on everything around him.
Hence, he could not wrap his head around how he failed to detect the figure.
“Are you looking for me?” Just then, a voice rang out.
Ichirou was dumbstruck.
The color drained from his face instantly.
I am a Deity! How could I not sense him behind me? I’m practically a god! How is this even possible? I thought there was no Deity in Erudia!
Suddenly, he felt a powerful wave of aura penetrating his body.
At that moment, he felt as if his soul was separating from his physical body.
This feels strange! It’s terrifying!
Ichirou paled in fright as cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
He could sense as if a pair of eyes was observing him closely from heaven.
My perception has reached a whole new level! I can even sense things that others couldn’t!
At that moment, the same voice rang out again. “What makes you think you can come to Erudia?”
Chapter 2858 The Fall Of Deity
As a deafening rumble pierced the sky, Ichirou felt it strike his soul, plunging him into the fiery depths of hell.
Boom! Suddenly another thunderous lightning flashed across the sky.
Hundred of thousands lifted their heads to watch the gruesome scene of the Raysonian Deity exploding into droplets of blood raining down upon them.
The scene was spectacular yet horrifying.
A Deity was shocked to death by a thunderclap. Who could imagine a Deity would be shocked into bits of pieces?
The bloody rain that showered upon the public soaked their skins. Almost immediately, the red raindrops disappeared into their skin, absorbed into their bodies. Their cores were revitalized with energy as though they had taken an enhancement pill. Its effect was much better than absorbing spiritual energy directly.
The flora, which was rained upon, also underwent a dramatic change in its biology.
After all, the spiritual energy within the blood of the Deities was equivalent to an enhancement pill.
However, the detonation of a Deity in the sky of Erudia had overwhelmed the public, overshadowing their surprise about the changes happening within them.
It was a terrifying scene!
“The Raysonian Deity had fallen?”
Their eyes widened at the knowledge.
How could a Deity lose just like that? What happened? We’re talking about a Deity here! They’re all-powerful!
“Hahaha. Does that mean we have a Deity in Erudia?”
“Right. Maybe no Deity is born from this catastrophe, but we had a Deity-like presence previously!”
“Could it be the two legendary mysterious entities—The Esoteric Guild and The Ecclesiastic Order?”
“It’s highly likely! Erudia is currently in the dumps, so all the other nations want a piece of Erudia and enslave Erudians. Of course, they won’t be happy about that!”
After the previous battle, The Ecclesiastic Order and The Esoteric Guild were no longer a secret.
They were the topic of every conversation starter.
The public had believed the rumors to be true. How else were they supposed to explain what they had seen?
An all-powerful Deity just exploded in front of their eyes.
They strongly believe a much more powerful being had made its move.
However, Erudia’s current catastrophe had passed peacefully without any signs of powerful fighters.
Erudia’s allies had managed to overcome it safely too.
In other words, Erudia didn’t receive any help from anyone, nor did its people have the capability to help.
That meant the Ecclesiastic Order and the Esoteric Guild were the cause of the fall of the Raysonian Deity.
The citizens of Erudia were celebrating.
Even though the Erudians had no Deity, they had the support of the Ecclesiastic Order and the Esoteric Guild.
That itself was sufficient and incomparable.
With Ichirou’s defeat, Levi went to Daxon’s side.
No one had noticed his disappearance earlier.
Even the Deity, Ichirou’s sight couldn’t keep up with Levi’s movements, so how could the commoners notice?
Defeating Ichirou was much easier than his battle with the mutant python, so Levi didn’t take his fight with Ichirou seriously.
Instead, he was worried about the situation on Zoey’s side and was asking the Daxon about it.
With reluctance, the latter responded, “A mysterious man has kidnapped Evie. Ms. Lopez and Dr. Erebus went to Adrune to search for her. They haven’t returned since.”
“What? A mysterious man has kidnapped Evie? That meant Evie was the target all along?”
Levi immediately thought of the group that stopped him.
Finally, the last piece of the puzzle clicked into place, revealing the whole picture.
He thought the group’s target was Dr. Erebus, but it seemed like Forlevia’s worth was far more valuable.
“Correct. I heard from Dr. Erebus that they are an organization researching ancient cultivators. Dr. Erebus was on their list. Evie must be too!” the Daxon said.
“Adrune, is it? I’ll join the search too. I will let this matter go if no harm comes to Evie, but I’ll rain terror if even a single hair on her head is missing,” Levi announced with fierce murderous intent.
Boom!
The thunder continued to clap, its flash illuminating the disbelief on the Daxon’s face at Levi’s oath.
Chapter 2859 Erebus Loses His Mind
“I supposed the Crown King was the cause of it,” Daxon, the Divine Brigadier, blurted out.
Suddenly, a dreadful thought occurred to him.
Could it be the Raysonian Deity?
He shuddered at the thought.
Soon, words about the fall of the Raysonian Deity, Ichirou, in Erudia spread to all parts of the world.
The entire world was stunned.
The major organizations had firmly insisted there was no Deity born in Erudia and its allied nations. With that reasoning, they had lumped the latter as the weakest nations.
Who could’ve expected the catastrophe to happen immediately after?
The Raysonian Deity was instantly defeated after running his mouth in Erudia.
People from all over the world were taken aback.
They wondered if Erudia had lied about the existence of Deity.
It was a known fact that the citizens of Erudia had missed the opportunity after hiding themselves in Shelters. There was no way a Deity could be born.
However, who could’ve eliminated Ichirou if it wasn’t a Deity’s doings?
It was a puzzle that got the whole world confused. They wondered if Erudia had been lying about not having a Deity.
Many fighters and Deities had wanted to enter Erudia to investigate the truth and scout Erudian, but the news of the fallen Raysonian Deity had halted all their plans. Even Zarain was dumbstruck.
They wondered if Erudia had another trump card hidden up their sleeve. A trump card powerful enough to eliminate a Deity in a single attempt.
Not long after, another piece of information was broadcasted from Erudia. The legendary two mysterious entities were the ones who eliminated the powerful Deity—the Ecclesiastic Order and the Esoteric Guild.
That got the whole world stunned.
It didn’t matter if the two entities were behind the Deity’s eradication, for Ichirou was already dead.
No one dared to make any reckless move after that.
Levi hurriedly made his way to Adrune alone. He wasn’t subtle in the least as he traversed, for he no longer feared anyone anymore.
He used to fear the Lab of Gods and Zarain, but it was a thing of the past.
He would slaughter anyone and cut down any obstacles he met on his way instantly without any hesitation.
Meanwhile, in the ancient castle of Adrune.
The castle’s underground structure had protected the Ancient Clan from the cataclysmic energy storm.
They finally sent a scout to check on the situation happening in the outside world after hiding for so long.
They had received word that the danger was gone, and that piece of information had stirred up a commotion from both sides.
With Dr. Erebus swearing to take Forlevia away, both sides began a tug of war.
The Ancient Clan had many elite fighters. Every one of them was on par with the strength of the previous Lab of Gods.
The Ancient Clan had many members, but they were merely hiding all the while.
Dr. Erebus was also unrivaled in strength. After all, Levi had praised him before.
Both sides were continuously engaged in combat.
Zoey and the rest couldn’t be of much help, but they could cause trouble for the other side.
At that moment, Levi had arrived at Adrune.
“Huh?”
He could feel the entire Adrune within his control. Every movement was under his fingertips, especially the energy pulses.
Dr. Erebus!
He recognized Dr. Erebus’ energy since he had exchanged blows with the latter before, so the minute the latter unleashed his energy, his senses instantly locked on the latter’s location.
He immediately set forth to where Dr. Erebus was.
Meanwhile, Dr. Erebus had lost his mind with guilt, similar to the Digital God. It struck him hard when Levi went to confront the disaster on his own. It had left an everlasting scar in his mind. He had sworn an oath.
I must save Evie even if my life is at risk.
Hence, being consistently assaulted by that notion, Dr. Erebus’ combat power had risen tremendously.
Everyone knew he must have employed some methods to elevate his abilities.
Soon, the Ancient Clan was losing.
They couldn’t watch Forlevia be taken away, so one of the members forced Forlevia to consume a pill.
Chapter 2860 Final Malice
“What are you guys doing!”
Dr. Erebus’ and Zoey’s expressions darkened at their action.
Panic struck them. They didn’t know what the Ancient Clan member had fed Forlevia.
Zoey was worried sick.
“You guys were the ones who forced me to do it! Don’t think you can take her away!” that person shouted insanely.
“What did you feed her?” Zoey yelled in anguish.
“This is the Final Malice! The deadliest poison we developed after centuries of research. Over the years, we have collected a variety of poisons from every corner of the world. We meticulously picked out eighty-seven of the most potent poisons from the entire catalog and combined them into a blend of the deadliest poison. Hence, its name,” the person explained.
“Rest assured. No one has the antidote for it. Ancient cultivators have always been our research focus, and these poisons are related to both the eastern and western ancient cultivators. One of the poisons is related to Erudia’s Xenhall cleric. According to the myth, even Erudia’s Ecclesiastic Order can’t do anything with it. We have another poison that causes western Deities to lose their power once they are poisoned by it. Just think about it. Who could create an antidote for the blend of eighty-seven of the most potent poisons?”
Dr. Erebus’ expression turned grave at the boast.
He knew of eight of the poisons the member mentioned. He had even researched their properties before and concluded there were no antidotes available.
He couldn’t come up with one even after over a decade of research.
It was why he didn’t apply them in the Lab of Gods’ plans.
He needed to have control over every creation of his research, no matter what it was.
The mighty Leviathan, for example. He would come up with a way to defeat the Leviathan before actually constructing the Leviathan.
It was the same with the poisons. He would try to develop the antidote before unleashing them onto the world.
However, he couldn’t come up with one even after researching them for so long.
In his eyes, these poisons had no antidotes, and he was Dr. Erebus. His specialty was researching these kinds of poisons, but even he was helpless with eight of them, let alone eighty-seven of them.
The thought was terrifying. It was unimaginable.
Dr. Erebus was bewildered.
He knew about the poisons. Hence, he believed Forlevia was fed with the Final Malice. It was a poison without an antidote.
“Do you have the antidote?”
Panic rose within Dr. Erebus at the terrifying thought.
The member shook his head. “Of course, we don’t! Do you think you’ll be here if we can come up with one?”
Dr. Erebus’ entire body stiffened at the exclamation.
F**ked! We’re f**ked! I can’t picture Evie’s outcome.
Zoey and the rest were stunned at the news.
“Do you have to go that far?” Dr. Erebus shrieked furiously.
“We wouldn’t have done it if you didn’t force us. We can’t let her fall into another one’s hand. We might as well destroy her if she can’t be ours. Moreover, a dramatic change has happened to the world. It’s only a matter of time before we’re exposed, so we have to take extreme measures!” that person bellowed, mania laced his tone.
Dr. Erebus’ entire body was trembling from rage.
“Ah!” Forlevia screamed after consuming the poison.
Zoey and the rest circled her instantly with concern while every member of the Ancient Clan had retreated and left the scene.
Dr. Erebus wanted to chase after them, but concern for Forlevia halted his chase.
The next second, a deafening sound accompanied Levi’s arrival.
“What’s going on? Evie, what happened to you? Evie!”
Levi noticed Forlevia’s abnormality.
