Ch. 2901..2910
Chapter 2901 We Do Not Want To Fight
Levi had repeated his request for three times.
Alas, it was no use, for they couldn’t stop Levi from advancing.
Many people were already dead before they realized what he came for.
They had no idea why Levi was killing everyone in his sight.
“The Poison Handbook?”
Right then, a few fighters finally realized what Levi meant.
They remembered how word of the Poison Handbook got out when the palace was damaged a while ago.
Turns out this killing machine came here for the Poison Handbook!
An important member of the imperial family was about to say something when someone roared out behind him. “You must have a death wish, huh?”
A Deity from the imperial family had arrived.
Boom! Boom!
Apart from that one Deity, deadly auras had started to appear all around Levi.
It was as if Hades himself had made his appearance.
Finally, the Deities from the imperial family had shown themselves.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, the Deities released menacing spurts of energy.
There wasn’t only one, for at least eight Deities had shown themselves, not including those in hiding.
The thirty Deities hadn’t shown up, but at least half of them were here.
Initially, Levi had only ignited their curiosity.
However, their curiosity soon turned to fury. They wanted to take revenge on him for killing so many people.
Especially since the God Crusher had slain many of their apprentices earlier.
Naturally, they were furious at Levi’s actions.
At least eight Deities had showed up to surround Levi.
“You might be deaf, so I shall remind you again. Hand over the Poison Handbook, or I shall end your lives right this instance!” Levi was nice enough to remind them again.
In truth, he didn’t want to fight or kill anyone.
He had stated the purpose of his arrival in the very beginning.
Alas, none of them listened to his words.
Thus, he had no choice but to slaughter them all.
“The Poison Handbook?”
The Deities frowned upon hearing that.
“Nonsense! The Poison Handbook is Raysonia’s imperial family’s treasure. Why would we hand it to you? Who are you to demand it?” one of the Deities, Hiroshi Masuda, demanded icily.
Instead of answering to him, Levi flashed a grin.
Rumble!
Without warning, Levi vanished before them.
Masuda sensed danger when he felt a terrifying force sweeping toward him.
He had no idea where it originated from, for his spiritual energy had been rendered useless temporarily. He couldn’t even summon it out.
Have I been restricted? I can’t even do anything except think. Wait, scrap that. My brain seems to have been restricted, too. My movements are getting slower, and it feels like I’m in a daze…
In the next moment, Levi appeared before Masuda, holding the God Crusher in his hand.
Masuda’s body was slashed in half, and he dropped dead on the spot.
The others present was astonished beyond belief by the sight.
Even the seven Deities surrounding Levi and the Deities in hiding were stunned.
Did he just kill a Deity with a slash of his sword? It happened before our eyes, but none of us realized what was going on!
And that was what made it so terrifying.
They couldn’t retaliate, let alone save their fallen comrade.
How powerful can he possibly be? He isn’t even a Deity! There’s no spiritual energy within him. What kind of being is he?
After ridding of a Deity easily, Levi asked calmly, “Who am I? Isn’t that obvious enough?”
His words sent shockwaves through everyone.
There were over ten Deities there, but none dared to take action or utter a word.
A long silence ensued.
The venue was so quiet that everyone could even hear a pin drop.
Right then, Dr. Erebus stepped out and broke the silence. “Everyone, please don’t get us wrong. We’re here to get the Poison Handbook, that’s all. We have no wish to fight or kill anyone.”
Everyone was speechless, feeling like they could spew blood at any moment.
After all, Levi had killed so many people and a Deity before Dr. Erebus claimed that they had no intention of starting a fight or killing anyone.
Chapter 2902 The Opposite
“We came here for the Poison Handbook. If you give that to us, we’ll leave right away,” Dr. Erebus announced with a chuckle.
However, his chuckle sounded odd to everyone.
Is it really that simple? All they want is the Poison Handbook?
Similar looks of disbelief were on everyone’s faces.
Even the Deities were doubting Dr. Erebus’ words.
Suddenly, something occurred to Dr. Erebus. His lips curled up as he said, “Oh, right. We didn’t come empty-handed. Here’s a gift in exchange for the Poison Handbook.”
Pfft!
Hearing his words, everyone tutted silently in exasperation.
Usually, people would approach in a diplomatic manner before resorting to brute force.
However, it was the opposite for Levi and Dr. Erebus.
Levi had slaughtered everyone who tried to stop him before trying to reason things out.
“A gift?” someone blurted out.
“Yes!” Dr. Erebus answered.
He then tossed the bag with him forward.
Four severed heads fell to the ground, and blood splattered everywhere.
Everyone inhaled sharply when they realized what those were.
Fear clawed up their throats.
Even the Deities weren’t spared.
This proved to show that they weren’t really Deities, for Deities wouldn’t be afraid of anything.
“I-Isn’t this Hachiga Shunsuke? A-And that’s Joten Kyudai! Oh, dear…”
“They are the four Deities of Black Dragon Hall!”
Most people managed to recognize the severed heads.
Who the hell is he? Why did he offer Black Dragon Hall’s Deities’ heads as a gift?
In truth, it wasn’t a gift; it was a display of Levi’s power.
Everyone, including the Deities, turned to look at the man in question.
If something else had happened, they would be asking about the culprit who had chopped the Deities’ heads off and where the heads came from.
However, after seeing Levi cutting down Masuda in less than a second, they knew it was him behind this.
Since Levi was capable enough of slaughtering the four Deities of Black Dragon Hall, it proved that he was extremely powerful.
Despite having over ten Deities here, everyone couldn’t help but fear him.
No one knew the extent of his combat prowess.
In fact, they were aware that they would have to risk their lives to defeat him.
It would be great if they could defeat him. But the consequences of them failing, however, would mean the end of the Imperial family of Raysonia.
Dr. Erebus guffawed. “Believe it or not, I’m actually doing this for your own good. Hurry up and give us the Poison Handbook. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire. If you don’t give it to us, he’ll take your lives for sure!”
Dr. Erebus knew Levi wasn’t lying, and that Levi would kill everyone here if they refused to give the Poison Handbook to him.
Hence, he was trying to help them out.
Otherwise, they would all end up dead as a result of offending Levi.
At once, the Deities of the imperial family of Raysonia felt conflicted.
If they decided to fight against Levi, they might end up dead.
If they decided not to fight him, however, they would feel humiliated.
The imperial family of Raysonia and the Deities would be insulted.
How they wished they could take Levi’s life.
The ten Deities decided to summon all thirty over Deities to defeat Levi together.
They had no choice but to risk their lives.
Brimming with energy, they were prepared to go all out in the battle.
At that exact moment, a voice rang out. “Stop! Please, hold on a moment!”
Shortly after, a few men hurried over to them.
They held a delicate box made of wood in their hands.
After coming to a stop before Levi, they said, “Sir, thank you for your gift. The imperial family of Raysonia loved it! Here is the Poison Handbook. It is all right if you don’t want to be friends with us as long as you don’t treat us as enemies!”
The imperial family of Raysonia had caved in and offered the Poison Handbook to Levi.
The sight of the heads of the Black Dragon Hall’s Deities and the death of Masuda had forced them to cower into submission.
They had no choice but to give in.
If they were to go all out, it would put the entire imperial family of Raysonia at risk.
The Poison Handbook was important, but it wasn’t as important as their lives.
Chapter 2903 Humiliation
It simply wasn’t worth it to take a chance just to keep the Poison Handbook to themselves.
Besides, it had been at least forty years since someone lay a hand on the Poison Handbook.
All the while, it was simply kept hidden within the imperial palace of Raysonia.
Evidently, it wasn’t that valuable to them.
Since it could save their lives, they were willing to hand it out.
After Levi took over the Poison Handbook, the wooden box burst into a million pieces and disappeared into thin air.
Even the Deities didn’t manage to see what happened clearly.
The person who gave Levi the wooden box had the shock of his life, for he saw how the box vanished into thin air before his eyes.
It… it just disappeared without a trace!
Is he an immortal? He seemed more like a Deity compared to our Deities!
Levi flipped through the Poison Handbook and confirmed it was the real thing before pocketing it.
“If you had agreed to give it to me earlier, those people wouldn’t have died,” Levi uttered before he turned to leave.
He had achieved his purpose, so there was no need to stay behind.
Everyone from the imperial family of Raysonia watched as Levi left.
No one had the guts to stop him from leaving.
Just like that, Levi had successfully humiliated the imperial family of Raysonia.
Even after Levi had left, silence remained.
The entire place was plunged into dead silence, and no one spoke a word.
They felt ashamed.
The whole incident was way too humiliating for them.
The imperial family of Raysonia had over thirty Deities, but they were rendered useless before Levi.
Levi had slaughtered their men before their eyes and also killed a Deity, but they dared not utter even a single word of protest against it.
It was absolutely humiliating.
This was definitely the most humiliating day ever for the imperial family of Raysonia.
Out of the blue, two figures dashed in.
“We’re in trouble! An unknown man went to the Black Dragon Hall and killed everyone there, including the four Deities!” they announced anxiously.
However, the sight that appeared before their eyes was even more startling.
So the unknown figure had been here…
“What should we do? Is that it?” a Deity asked.
“That was too humiliating!”
The Deities clenched their fists indignantly.
After all, they were Deities.
None of them was willing to let the matter slip just like that.
The feeling was worse than death.
Right then, a Deity stepped out from the dark, where he had been hiding all along.
He was a prince in the imperial family. “First, we’ll have to keep a lid on the news. Raysonia has lost five Deities in a row, and it’s a serious matter. If the whole world learns about it, chaos will ensue. It will put Raysonia in a bad light!” he declared frostily.
“You’re right. Some small countries and forces only have five Deities, and at most ten Deities. If word of this incident gets out, it will cause an uproar. We have to keep it a secret!” the rest agreed with him.
They would have to keep a lid on the news and stop it from spreading out.
The prince continued, “The imperial family of Raysonia will never forget what he did to us. We must seek revenge!”
The rest were confused. “But they already left, and we don’t even know who they are.”
The prince’s eyes were glinting with cold malice. “It’s not that hard to find out who they are. One is Dr. Erebus, also known as Erebus Angel. The other with a young girl on his back is Levi Garrison of Erudia. He came to get the Poison Handbook to get an antidote for his daughter’s poison!”
“What? Levi Garrison? Since when he became that strong?”
Everyone went hysterical the moment they heard Levi’s name.
From what they remembered, Levi had already become a useless human.
He didn’t seem to have the power to slaughter Deities.
Thus, they couldn’t help but wonder what kind of strange being he could be.
“I initially refused to believe it, but it’s the truth. Including the old scores, we shall seek revenge. We will never forget how he humiliated us! Just wait, for we will avenge our comrades!”
Hearing that, everyone bristled in fury.
Levi had humiliated them repeatedly, and they hated him to the core.
Chapter 2904 The Horrible Poison Handbook
Back then, Raysonians lived to outdo Erudians.
Now, from this generation on, they had another mission—to kill Levi.
It would never change, ever.
“It won’t be easy to kill Levi. We saw how strong he was.”
“After earth’s environment changed, it is said that Deities are the strongest beings alive. If word gets out that someone has slaughtered a Deity so easily, it will create an uproar.”
The prince declared icily, “We have no choice but to combine forces. If he can kill ten Deities, we’ll gather twenty Deities. If he can kill twenty, we’ll gather fifty. I’m sure he isn’t capable of wiping out hundreds of Deities in one go!”
“Yes, Levi has to die! We’ll gather fighters and take action together. Levi won’t be able to defend himself.”
“There might be hundreds of Deities in Raysonia, but we can’t risk our country. We need to collaborate with other forces or find someone else to do our dirty work to rid of Levi.”
“That sounds great. That way, we can conserve the talents in our country while taking revenge against Levi at the same time!”
They came up with a plan to assassinate Levi.
Meanwhile, Levi and the other two didn’t leave Raysonia at once.
They went to a nearby spot to get some rest.
Upon arrival, Levi pulled out the Poison Handbook and started reading it.
Dr. Erebus read the book along with him.
A while later, Dr. Erebus praised, “Hats off to the ancient manual! There are many toxins that I’ve been looking for years recorded in it. I’ve seen at least six toxins among the eighty-seven toxins within Final Malice inside the manual with the ways to neutralize their effects. I don’t know the rest of the toxins within Final Malice, so perhaps they are also recorded inside the manual. What a surprise!”
Both Levi and Dr. Erebus beamed in delight.
The Poison Handbook had brought them hope.
Levi and Dr. Erebus had different ideas.
Dr. Erebus was thorough enough to find one antidote for every toxin.
However, Levi simply wanted to find a solution that would get rid of Final Malice in one go.
He figured that there might be a medicine or way that could neutralize every poison in the world.
They kept analyzing the handbook and didn’t miss any detail.
Time ticked away, and soon an entire day went by.
Dr. Erebus was pleasantly surprised to discover many toxins and their cure.
He was confident in delaying the onset of Forlevia’s poison despite not finding the cure to her condition.
Previously, he was at a loss regarding the poor girl’s condition.
However, now that he had the Poison Handbook, he could at least keep the poison that was coursing through Forlevia at bay.
He believed that this was just the beginning.
He reckoned that once he finished reading the Poison Handbook, there was a possibility that Forlevia’s condition could be treated completely.
Soon, they reached the end of the handbook.
When they flipped to the second last page of the handbook, Levi brightened up.
His breathing turned rapid.
Dr. Erebus couldn’t hide his surprise at the information written in the book.
I can’t believe The Poison Handbook has a solution to neutralize all sorts of poisons in the world!
The front part of the Poison Handbook recorded the poisons and solutions that the author discovered.
The author then combined his medical skills and poison knowledge to come out with solutions. He recorded the usable stuff and materials that he had experimented on for the second half of the Poison Handbook.
Clearly, the front part of the handbook was child’s play, for the main point was written at the end.
It was exhilarating to know that the book in their hands had the knowledge to neutralize all sorts of poisons in the world.
Levi’s breathing grew so rapid that he was becoming breathless.
If I can master the technique, Evie’s poison will be cured! The answer is on the last page. I can find the solution to Evie’s condition just by flipping the page!
Levi’s hands were trembling as he flipped to the last page.
Chapter 2905 Volume Two Of The Poison Handbook
Dr. Erebus was widening his eyes in anticipation.
I can’t wait to find out the solution to all poisons in the world and the name of the strongest poison in the world! What could it be? Is the strongest poison better than Final Malice? That sounds impossible!
When Levi flipped to the last page, both of them slumped in disappointment.
Levi, especially, nearly cursed out loud in fury.
It felt like fate had played a cruel joke on him.
Turns out, the last page of the Poison Handbook had no content.
Its purpose was to explain that there was a volume two of the Poison Handbook.
The crucial information that they needed so desperately was recorded in volume two.
The first volume of the Poison Handbook recorded the various kinds of poisons around the world, and the second volume was the core of the Poison Handbook.
The solution to neutralize all kinds of toxins and medicines was recorded in the second volume.
Of course, the Poison Handbook would also have a record of the most poisonous substance in the world.
One could find the information in the second volume.
Apart from that, the solution was to fight poison with poison.
To be exact, the medical skills written in the Poison Handbook were in fact poison skills.
“Is this a joke?” Levi roared in anger.
Initially, he assumed he could cure Forlevia’s poison after getting the Poison Handbook.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that there was a second volume to the handbook.
Dr. Erebus’ legs gave way, and he fell to the ground.
They were given hope, only to have it ended with utter disappointment.
The anticlimax was far more than they could bear.
Levi was panting heavily. If Forlevia hadn’t woken up, he would’ve destroyed Horington after anger swept over him.
“What should we do next?” Dr. Erebus huffed.
“We’ll head to the imperial palace of Raysonia again to get the second volume!” Levi announced coolly.
“All right. Let’s head there together!”
Back in the imperial palace of Raysonia.
The servants had just cleared the mess.
The Deities were sitting together, discussing a plan to kill Levi when a loud rumble sounded.
The next moment, a powerful surge of energy loomed over them.
Levi appeared before them as though he was a falling comet.
Slash! Slash!
Following the thunderous sound, two heads dropped to the ground.
Two Deities had been slain in an instant.
The Deities and the prince were dumbfounded as they gazed at Levi and the dead Deities lying on the ground.
They gaped at the incredulous sight and trembled profusely.
In fact, they were so frightened that they could wet their pants anytime.
After all, they had been discussing how to kill Levi when the man himself showed up and butchered two Deities without saying anything.
D-Did he find out about our plan? That means the entire imperial family of Raysonia will meet its doom now! Since Levi is strong enough to appear out of nowhere and kill two Deities, he’s definitely far more capable than us! We won’t be able to stop him from wiping us out!
Levi had chosen to kill the Deities for one simple reason.
If he were to come and ask for the second volume of the Poison Handbook politely, the imperial family of Raysonia might come up with a trick and lie to him.
They might offer a fake book instead of the real one.
Should that happen, it would cause a lot of problems.
Thus, Levi decided to kill the Deities to intimidate the imperial family of Raysonia so they would do as he ask.
That way, he wouldn’t have to worry that they would trick him, for the fear they felt would definitely make them give him the real volume two if they had it with them.
After all, Levi was powerful enough to kill them all.
At the moment, the members of the imperial family of Raysonia were about to go crazy from the terror they were feeling.
They were afraid that Levi would go on a killing spree and wipe them out of existence.
Right then, Levi commanded, “Give me the second volume of the Poison Handbook!”
“What?” The Raysonians were confused.
Oh, so he’s not here to take revenge after learning about our plan to kill him. He’s here for the Poison Handbook.
“Your Highness, the Crown King, didn’t you take the Poison Handbook with you earlier?” the prince asked politely.
He had changed the way he addressed Levi.
They might not be afraid of Levi previously, but Levi had just killed two of them with a flick of his wrist.
Thus, they were currently scared out of their wits.
“There are two volumes. You gave me the first volume, so I’m here for the second volume. If you don’t give it to me…” Levi trailed off in a threatening manner.
Chapter 2906 The Search
They knew what the consequences were—Levi would begin a killing spree.
It was possible that he would kill everyone in sight.
The Raysonian prince sighed and shot Levi a fearful look. “You might not believe us, but we don’t have the second volume of the Poison Handbook.”
The others chimed in timidly, “Yes, we only have volume one of the Poison Handbook. Volume two doesn’t exist!”
They were afraid that Levi would kill them out of fury.
Hearing that, Levi was taken aback.
After all, he had killed two Deities to intimidate them.
As such, he was sure that they weren’t lying.
The prince continued, “Your Highness, both volumes of the Poison Handbook differed greatly. The first volume is astonishing, but one could tell a human had recorded it. The second volume is far more astonishing than the first volume. It seemed like immortals had created it. We’ve been looking for the second volume all the while. We got the first volume from Erudia, but the second volume was nowhere to be found. There were no traces of it as though it didn’t even exist. If we have the second volume, we would’ve given it to you. We wouldn’t have risked our lives just to keep it with us.”
Hearing that, Levi knew that it was the truth.
The Raysonians wouldn’t dare to lie when their lives were at stake.
Next, the members of the imperial family of Raysonia showed up and confirmed that the second volume of the Poison Handbook wasn’t with them. And that it was most probably still in Raysonia.
Some even claimed that the mysterious second volume didn’t exist in the first place.
Right then, Venom Fiend sent news saying that the imperial family of Raysonia was in possession of the first volume of the Poison Handbook, and the second volume was still missing.
No one knew where it was.
Levi gave a curt nod. He turned to face the imperial members and asked, “Where did you find the first volume of the Poison Handbook?”
The members shook their heads. “We have no idea. The Poison Handbook had been here for as long as we can remember. We also have some rare and valuable stuff here, but we don’t know where they came from. Most of the stuff was obtained a long time ago, so we know nothing about their origin.”
Levi proceeded to run an investigation, but to no avail.
The second volume of the Poison Handbook wasn’t in the imperial palace of Raysonia.
The imperial members had no idea where it was.
If they knew where it was, they would’ve gotten it for themselves.
Levi had no choice but to leave.
Dr. Erebus comforted him, “Mr. Garrison, don’t be upset. At least the Poison Handbook had recorded the various poisons in the world. We can find the solution to Evie’s poison one by one. Once Shield has completed the analysis of Final Malice, the Poison Handbook will have the solution to each and every poison!”
Levi nodded. “All right. That’s the only way for now.”
They then left the imperial palace.
The Deities in the imperial family of Raysonia continued discussing their plan. “Change of plan. Levi is way stronger than we expected! We’ll have to stop and observe the situation for now.”
Just then, a lady walked out and announced, “Let’s just watch the show. Levi will definitely meddle with everyone in this era. I believe he’ll head to Xyperia next!”
Everyone lit up upon hearing her reminder.
“Yes. With his battle prowess, Levi will definitely head to Xyperia to end Idrae!”
“We can work with Xyperia and combine forces to take revenge on Levi!”
They couldn’t hide their excitement and shot admiring gazes at the lady.
After all, her analysis of the situation was spot on.
Levi ordered Divine Brigadier and others in Erudia to search for the second volume of the Poison Handbook.
The chances were slim, for it took Venom Fiend a long time to discover that the first volume was with the imperial family of Raysonia.
It would be even harder to locate the missing second volume, for there was a possibility that it didn’t even exist.
They had to think of other options.
Where could it be?
Levi let out a long sigh.
Chapter 2907 Breaking News
The chances were slim, so Levi grew increasingly antsy.
He knew Forlevia’s condition better than anyone.
Despite keeping it under control, he had no idea what would happen during the next relapse.
Levi didn’t even know where he should go next.
Before Levi and his group could leave Raysonia, a piece of breaking news spread all over the world.
Xyperia announced that they had discovered a way to create Deities.
The moment the news spread, everyone was gripped by shock.
After the environmental change, every country and force was in need of Deities.
The more Deities a country had, the stronger it would be.
After all, Deities represented power.
Alas, the event of spiritual energy revival had passed, and the number of Deities had been fixed.
There was no way to create more Deities.
Thus, many countries and forces started wondering how they could create more Deities.
However, they were at a loss.
It would only happen if the light emitted radiation once again.
According to their data, all Deities were bathed in the light when it fell from the sky.
Those who bathed in the light above the beam were especially strong.
Thus, it meant the spiritual energy within the beam was intense and easiest to absorb.
All Deities were born after getting exposed to the beam.
Back then, when the beam appeared, many people were too afraid to come near it.
Only a few were brave enough to stand underneath it.
Thus, not many Deities were born.
If everyone had known that they would become Deities if they were to stand underneath the beam, there would be an excess of Deities around the world.
Of course, not everyone could become Deities after bathing in the light. It also depended on their potential and strength.
The exposure would increase their chances, though.
Every powerhouse in the world was in need of Deities.
After all, it concerned their survival.
Without the beam, it was impossible to get more Deities.
They had their hands tied because of this.
Now that Xyperia had a way to create Deities, they found it unbelievable.
There were some weak countries that only had around four Deities with them.
However, now that Xyperia had announced that they could create Deities without needing the spiritual energy revival, it meant that these weaker countries could have as many Deities as they wanted.
Everyone got envious.
Anyone who could master the technique would definitely rise to power.
Creating around twenty Deities would be more than enough.
However, creating a man-made Deity was hard, as the requirements were harsh.
It wasn’t as easy as everyone imagined.
Even Xyperia wasn’t capable of creating as many Deities as they wished.
Nonetheless, they were content with the fact that man-made Deities could be created.
Xyperia also announced that Idrae was responsible for providing the technology.
As a result, the entire world was in an uproar once again.
As they had expected, there was indeed a reason for Xyperia to protect Idrae.
In fact, anyone would be more than willing to protect Idrae for providing such an awesome idea.
It was a horrible skill to be able to create Deities.
Xyperia was a strong country, and rumor had it that they had thousands of Deities.
However, everyone knew the data wasn’t real.
They had more Deities than the data suggested.
Now that they had the technology to create Deities, no one could imagine how powerful they could be.
Even if it was an experiment, Xyperia was confident enough to carry out the experiment.
After all, they had plenty of Deities there and could experiment on them freely.
It was a terrifying realization for everyone.
Apart from that, Xyperia also revealed that they wouldn’t be sharing the technology for now. However, there was room for negotiation.
It meant that other countries who had something they wanted could start a discussion with them.
Obviously, one would have to sacrifice a lot by providing something Xyperia wanted to get the technology.
The small countries immediately gave up on that, for they knew they wouldn’t get any chance.
After the news was released, many forces and countries chose to join Xyperia.
They wanted to seek protection from Xyperia.
Gradually, more Deities also did the same by joining Xyperia.
Chapter 2908 Sleepiness
According to the rumors, the solution provided by Idrae could not only create man-made Deities, but it could also make the original Deities even stronger, allowing them to use the spiritual energy they absorbed to the max.
This news was as terrifying as the one about the man-made Deities.
After all, everyone knew the Deities had achieved the highest level.
No one expected that their powers could still be increased.
Most people might not know it, but the Deities were well aware of their own abilities.
Although they had an abundance of spiritual energy and were gifted with all kinds of talents, they were still unable to unleash the maximum power of their spiritual energy.
The fact that they were aware they had the potential to become stronger but had no idea how to do it was the root of the problem.
Meanwhile, there were some Deities who had mastered the advanced techniques that could maximize the power of their spiritual energy.
Hence, they were more powerful than the others.
The Deities were divided into various stages; not all of them were equally powerful.
Some were just exposed to more spiritual energy compared to others.
Thus, if Idrae employed such means, they would be treated like kings in Xyperia and supported by all the Deities on earth.
Before long, more and more people were willing to protect Idrae.
Even if they left Xyperia, there would still be countless people watching over them, guarding them.
This news caused Idrae’s enemies to be at a loss.
It was getting more difficult to get rid of them.
When Dr. Erebus heard the news, he raged, “These scums are really something else! I can’t believe they can even come up with such an idea. Then again, they don’t have the cure for Final Malice, and it looks like they don’t plan on looking for one anytime soon.”
Levi chuckled. “That’s not the case. They’re actually waiting for me to look for one. Do you think they gave Evie the poison to kill her? Truth is, they want to find the cure, too. They’re only using us to do it for them. After all, whether the poison can be removed or not doesn’t really matter to them.”
Dr. Erebus came to a revelation at once. “I see. So these scums are basically waiting for us to do their work.”
“That’s why I didn’t bother to hide my whereabouts since they’re in control of our every move,” Levi said plainly.
Curious, Dr. Erebus asked, “So, they know about the commotion we caused at the imperial palace of Raysonia?”
“They’re definitely unaware of the details since the imperial family of Raysonia will prevent word of this incident from being spread. They wouldn’t want anyone to find out about their trump card, after all. Not to mention the fact that their Deities were killed off was definitely something they would do everything in their power to keep under wraps,” Levi explained.
He had guessed the imperial family would take such precautions long ago.
“So, where are we going to next?” Dr. Erebus asked.
“Digital God will be coming over soon. We’ll meet up with him to see if he has any plans. Let’s just wait for now.”
Being the genius that he was, Digital God had stored a large amount of information in his brain, which made him equivalent to the most powerful intelligence agency in the world.
Hence, it was possible that he would have a plan.
Hearing that, Dr. Erebus continued reading the Poison Handbook. All he could do now was wait for Shield to analyze all the toxins.
Once that was done, he would be able to rely on the Poison Handbook to create an antidote.
At the moment, they would be staying at Raysonia for the time being.
In the meantime, Levi took greater steps in maintaining Forlevia’s life force, making sure the toxins would not take effect.
He realized the toxins were extremely cunning, for they could pretend they were not taking effect. But in truth, they were slowly making progress.
After all, the poison contained too many toxins. Some of them were exceptionally cunning, and they could adjust themselves according to Forlevia’s body. Hence, it made the situation more troublesome.
On top of that, Forlevia was showing another symptom—sleepiness.
If she was awake, her vitality would be depleted. Her consciousness would also be active, which could easily trigger the toxins’ activity.
Thus, sleep was her body’s subconscious method of protecting itself.
However, she could not continue being in such a state.
The reason being there was a possibility of her falling asleep and never waking up again.
The situation mentioned by the expert from Shield would happen—her consciousness would remain, but her body would become the poison itself.
Just as Levi was lost in his thoughts, noises could be heard outside the door.
Chapter 2909 Midnight Visitors
“Since you’re already here. Just come on in,” Levi said coldly.
With that, five people could be seen walking into the room.
They were a mixture of faces that had features of people from Adrune and Bayview.
All of them were extremely tall and muscular, though they were not from the Deity class.
What made Levi puzzled was the fact that he couldn’t sense any hostility from them. After all, these people had made a visit in the dead of night. Anyone would have thought that they came with bad intentions.
What are they here for?
“Who are you? And what are your intentions?” Levi asked.
“That’s easy. We are the enemies of Idrae. However, we’re not the only ones. There are thousands and even millions of people who are just like us. We have only one motive, that is to destroy Idrae,” said one of them.
“I see. Enemies of Idrae, eh?” Levi nodded.
“Idrae has existed in the world for a long time. They’re a notorious group that has done countless evil crimes. They have too many enemies in every corner of the world, and the numbers have been accumulating for a long time. Many people have been trying to hunt them down, but Idrae has always acted in secret. Hence, it’s difficult to even start a search. If it wasn’t because they had sought refuge from Xyperia, we wouldn’t have been able to find them. Recently, we’ve been making some calculations. If we’re to count the number of forces that are enemies of Idrae, there are probably at least fifty to sixty thousand around the world. As for the number of people, well, the number is too large to calculate. Meanwhile, there are at least four thousand and eight hundred forces that are actively seeking to take revenge on Idrae,” one of the visitors explained.
Levi was shocked to hear those words.
Looks like Idrae has quite the reputation. I can’t believe that they’ve offended so many people.
It was obvious that they did all kinds of dirty deeds.
Besides, that was only what the visitors managed to calculate. There could be more that were not in their records.
Perhaps those organizations and people that were not on record had been eliminated by Idrae and they would never get the chance to take their revenge.
Based on the extent of their evil-doings, they were more terrifying than the Lab of Gods and Zarain.
Even Final Malice, the poison which Forlevia consumed, must have cost countless human and animal lives just for the production of said poison.
After all, the poison comprised eighty-seven types of poisons.
It was probably a difficult process to experiment with the combination of all the poisons.
Hence, it would require many lab rats to achieve the perfect result.
It was an incredibly evil thing to do.
If one were to count the number of people Idrae killed, they would have been too shocked to continue calculating.
Therefore, it was not strange for them to have so many enemies.
And perhaps all of them hated Idrae so badly that they, just like Levi, would have wanted to tear the bodies of the members into pieces. After all, Levi hated Idrae to the core because they had poisoned his daughter.
The only reason he was not doing anything at the moment was that he had not met anyone from Idrae. Otherwise, he would have killed every single one of them, tearing them from limb to limb.
Suddenly, the five visitors got furious, and they raged, “Now that we know of Idrae’s existence and their location, we want to take our revenge. In fact, countless people want to do so.”
“Go ahead, then.” Levi was at a loss for words.
If you want to take revenge on Idrae, then just go on ahead with it. Why are you people coming to see me? I’m not a member of Idrae.
“That’s impossible. Even if we want to get our revenge, Idrae is seeking refuge in the world’s greatest country, Xyperia. Moreover, Xyperia is doing its best to protect them. Idrae’s current location is now protected by at least thirty Deities. On top of that, the entire land of Xyperia is supported by at least a thousand of them.”
“You must’ve heard about the recent news, right? Idrae is now capable of creating Deities. That’s why they’re treated like kings. In fact, Xyperia is not the only one protecting them. The entire world is involved.”
“That’s right. This is also the reason why we haven’t taken our revenge. After all, taking revenge on Idrae is basically making enemies with the whole world.”
“Even though Idrae has many enemies, our powers are limited. Who knows? We might even die before reaching Xyperia.”
Some of them took turns to explain to Levi.
Chapter 2910 I Am Enough
All they’re giving me is a ton of explanations instead of their motive.
Levi lifted his head to look at the visitors. “So? Your reason for seeing me is…”
In truth, he already had a rough idea of their intentions.
“It’s very simple. We want you to join us to go against Idrae together,” the leader of the group said.
The others chimed in, “We know you have a grudge against Idrae because they poisoned your daughter with the most powerful poison. Don’t you want to take your revenge?”
Levi scoffed, “Of course I do! They don’t deserve to live. I’m going to kill all of them.”
“Exactly. That’s what we’re thinking too! We want all of Idrae’s people dead. However, getting our revenge on them is too difficult right now. It’s basically impossible. The probability of eliminating them is just zero. It’s even more impossible to do it alone or with just an organization. And now, many people understand this truth and have given up on taking revenge. Can you believe it? They’re not planning to seek revenge against Idrae, nor do they want to bring up their grudge for fear of bringing trouble upon themselves in the future. The problem is, it’s not just a few people who’re doing this. Ninety percent of the forces have given up on the idea of seeking revenge. How could they give up on such an irreconcilable grudge? We must get our revenge! Since we can’t do it alone, we’ve decided to unite. We can take our revenge as long as we’re powerful enough,” one of them said.
Levi finally understood the situation.
The enemies of Idrae were uniting their forces, wanting to work together to seek revenge.
Clearly, he was only one of the many enemies they were inviting.
They were not trying to get him to lead the battle.
Perhaps, in their eyes, he was not even that important.
“Don’t worry. We’ve gathered over thirty thousand people now. On top of that, we have seven Deities that’ll lead our expedition.”
“Huh?” Levi was stunned by what he heard.
He was not expecting there would be Deities among the enemies of Idrae, not to mention there were seven of them.
However, after giving it some thought, he realized it was not that surprising since Idrae had offended so many people.
“Our powers are still growing. Moreover, we have all kinds of talents and skilled fighters in our network. I’m sure more Deities will be joining, too. Thus, the possibility of us getting our revenge is still quite high,” another visitor said.
They looked at Levi with a solemn expression as one of them continued, “Mr. Garrison, although you’re not a Deity and you cannot make the decisions, everyone knows how great you are in strategizing. Now that the difficulty of taking revenge against Idrae is getting higher, we not only require a great number of Deity class fighters, but we also need a foolproof plan. And you’re one of the masterminds our team needs. We believe you’ll be able to come up with a plan to maximize our organization’s combat prowess and make it possible for us to get our revenge.”
Levi was amused.
So, the reason they want me to join them is that they’re impressed by my intelligence.
Indeed, what they said was the truth. If they wanted to seek revenge on Idrae, a definite plan was needed.
They needed a plan that would consider the details of how they were going to infiltrate Xyperia and how to deal with the Deities that were working with Idrae, as well as Xyperia’s reinforcements.
Of course, this was a plan needed by those who were weak.
To Levi, it was just a piece of cake.
All he needed to do was appear in Xyperia and start killing the opponents.
Anyone who stood in his way would end up dead.
No matter how many Deities there were, they would not be able to stop Levi.
No one could stop him from wiping out Idrae.
The only reason he was letting them live a little longer was for the sake of Forlevia.
He was capable of eliminating Idrae whenever he wanted.
It was a simple matter of using God Crusher and killing them all the way.
“Please join us, Mr. Garrison. We need you,” the five visitors begged him with utmost sincerity.
However, Levi merely smiled and said, “It’s okay. I alone am enough to eliminate Idrae.”
