Ch. 3081..3090
Chapter 3081 All Sorts Of Weirdos
Anyway, one thing I’m sure of is that they’re here for the resources, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
The people from Ospea shook their heads. “No, we are here for your resources.”
Levi responded, “That’s very direct of you. The resources I have are supposed to be given as a reward. So have you brought any treatment plan or medicine for my daughter in exchange for the resources?”
“No. We’re here purely for your resources. Before this, we thought that you have given away your resources and even revealed your secret to getting them. It was only when you send out the reward notice that we realized you still have them and that you’ve never revealed your secret. And that’s why we’re here to look for you.”
When Levi heard that, he seemed to have understood their intentions.
So, Ospea is no different from Terrandya.
They have both come to try and take my resources away.
Not only that, it seems that they have no interest in getting rid of the poison for Forlevia.
“So, you have come all the way just to take my resources away? If I refuse to give them to you, are you planning to take them by force?” asked Levi, getting straight to the point.
In his eyes, they all looked like a bunch of robbers.
There was no difference between them and those people from Terrandya.
The people from Ospea sneered, “Your resources? Those are ours!”
Levi smirked. Hah! Typical of robbers! They all act the same, there’s no difference at all!
However, the people from Ospea were not done just yet.
“The resources don’t belong to you! In fact, all the resources in the world belong to us! These are all treasures of God! They are bestowed by God and the Deities! As such, we should be the ones controlling the resources!” exclaimed the people from Ospea.
Pfft!
Levi and his men almost spewed up blood upon hearing that.
They thought they had seen the most shameless people in the past, but apparently, that was not the case.
Evidently, there were others who were far worse.
Previously, someone from Terrandya came and wanted to take Levi’s resources away by force and claimed that those resources belonged to Terrandya.
Now, people from Ospea came and claimed that all the resources in the world belonged to them.
How shameless!
Unbelievable!
The few men continued, “Not only should all the resources belong to us Ospea, but even all the Deities should be under our control!”
Both Dr. Erebus and Levi were left dumbfounded by that.
They were at a loss for words.
They had never seen anyone spewing such nonsense before.
Terrandya was shameless, but Ospea is on a whole other level of shamelessness!
Feeling rather helpless, Levi asked, “And pray tell why they are all yours?”
“Have you heard about the legends in our country?” the people of Ospea asked instead of answering Levi.
Levi had to admit that Ospea was indeed known as the city of legends.
A lot of the legends that he knew had come from Ospea.
Of course, there were also a lot of frauds in that country.
Levi had always thought that they were a foreign race and not related to Deities of any sort.
However, there were plenty of fools in Ospea, and they believed that those legends were true, especially after the spiritual energy revival.
“It’s good that you know! After the spiritual energy revival, we are the ones who came up with the idea of Deity. We know for a fact that all of the world’s Deities and resources are given by God. They are the treasures of God! Since our country is the center where deities gather and the place where the temple of God is located in, all Deities have to obey our commands, and all the resources must be returned to us!”
The lot of them stared at Levi and continued, “The resources that you have actually belong to us. They don’t belong to you, for what you did was simply dig them out. Therefore, you have no right to use them! That being said, we have decided to forgive you because you weren’t aware of it before.”
Are they being serious right now?
Levi was beyond baffled at that point.
I guess there are all sorts of weirdos in this world, huh?
“For now, just tell us how you obtain the resources! This way, you will still be loved by God!” stated the people from Ospea.
Pfft!
Levi was about to burst out laughing.
Holy c*ap!
They are nothing but delusional scammers.
They have gone mad!
Levi thought of something all of a sudden, and a smile appeared on his face.
“So, all of you are saying that all the resources and Deities in this world belong to you, right? Let me ask you something then…” said Levi with a smile.
Chapter 3082 Sharp Question
“What is it?” “Have you been to Xyperia? Not only does the country have a lot of Deities, but they also have an abundance of resources! Do you think they would submit to you?” Levi asked.
That question was like a big slap to those Ospeans’ faces, and their expression instantly turned grim.
Levi’s sharp question was like a dagger that had stabbed right into their hearts.
After all, these Ospeans had always thought they were the center of power of all Deities, but the Deities in Xyperia did not even show them any respect. In fact, they even had the intention of destroying Ospea.
Because of this, the Ospeans had no choice but to come to Levi.
“Why? Have you really been to Xyperia?” Levi continued with his questions.
The Ospeans’ mouth twitched upon hearing that.
“My guess is that not only did they refuse your nonsensical request, but they also fought against you and defeated you, right?” Levi continued sneering.
The Ospeans’ bodies started trembling when they heard his questions.
Levi’s questions were so sharp that they could not take it anymore.
They did not know how to retaliate.
From the awkward expression on their faces, Levi had guessed how they were bullied by Xyperia.
“Xyperia has betrayed the center of power of all Deities! They disobeyed us and refused to contribute their resources. They even refused to hand over the Deities! It won’t be long before they’re punished by God for this!” One of the Ospeans snorted.
Levi scoffed inwardly. Do you think Xyperians are fools? Of course they won’t give in to your ridiculous demands!
This group of people is obviously no match for the Xyperians, yet they still want to act all high and mighty?
“Since you claim that Xyperia has betrayed you, why don’t you exterminate them? Aren’t you the center of power of all Deities? You should have the authority to punish them yourself. Why come to me?” Levi asked.
Once again, the Ospeans were struck dumb by his question.
The question hit them like a ton of bricks.
Yes. We couldn’t defeat the Xyperians. We couldn’t defeat them!
Had we defeated them, we wouldn’t have waited till this day!
We would have destroyed Xyperia long ago!
Everyone had a complicated expression on their faces, and they were on the verge of breaking down.
Levi made another remark casually. “I remember Ospea is second in ranking to Xyperia. So I guess there’s no shame in losing to them, right?”
His remark rendered the Ospeans speechless.
Levi continued, “And I heard that Xyperia is way more powerful than Ospea—like way way way more powerful! You don’t dare to take revenge against them because there’s no way you could take them down!”
“Stop it! That’s enough!”
“Shut the hell up!”
Levi had infuriated the Ospeans.
They were afraid that they might lose their minds if Levi continued to mention their sore spot.
The little dignity they had left vanished into thin air.
“Xyperia might be powerful, but their Deities betrayed Ospea. By hook or by crook, they must be punished. We need to gather more resources to equip ourselves so that we’ll have enough power to vanquish them!”
“The resources you have access to belong to us as well, but you don’t need to give them to us. Just tell us how and where you obtained the resources. Once we find it, we’ll be able to strengthen our power to defeat Xyperia!”
“To tell you the truth, we Ospeans had been laying low because we’re working hard toward one common goal—that is to take Xyperia down and punish these traitors!”
They had to tell Levi what they had in mind because they could not stand his snide remarks anymore.
Chapter 3083 Laying Low
Dr. Erebus and the rest nodded. “I see.”
Before this, they did not know why Ospea had been laying low even though they were the second most powerful country in the world.
No one knew what they were doing at all.
So, they’re secretly planning their revenge against Xyperia!
The Ospeans continued saying, “We’re actually indirectly helping you if we get to punish Xyperia!”
“Xyperia had turned a blind eye to what Idrae had done to your daughter. So once we defeat Xyperia, we’ll hand Idrae over to you, and you can do anything to them! As long as Xyperia remains powerful, you wouldn’t be able to teach Idrae a lesson, right?” they continued explaining.
Levi thought what they said made sense. They seemed to have a clear mind and understood potential threats. So why did they behave like headless flies earlier?
Could it be their culture or habits?
Perhaps they have gone a little overboard just because they are obsessed with anything and everything concerning Deities.
“I hope you’d do what makes God happy, Levi. Had you decided to go against God, you can kiss His treasure goodbye! Tell us the secret on how to get the treasure right now. We promise we will not stop you from carrying out your excavation!” A few Ospeans looked at Levi seriously.
Another few Ospeans added, “We hope you won’t betray us. We didn’t get to deal with Xyperia because they’re too powerful, but we can always get rid of you should you decide to betray us! We can even raze Erudia to the ground!”
My, my. They’re outright threatening me now. These men are using the carrot and stick strategy on me just so I would tell them how to get the resources!
Levi thought about it and grinned. “Fine. If that’s the case, I’ll tell you how I managed to retrieve the resources then.”
“Really? That’s great!”
All the Ospeans started exclaiming in joy.
Levi then turned to Dr. Erebus and said, “Find the most terrifying Rank One restricted area for me!”
After scouting the nearby area for a while, Dr. Erebus found one for Levi.
A few days ago, the Heavenly League had estimated that there were at least two hundred beasts in the restricted area.
They were mostly Deity-level beasts. Some were even in the overlord-class.
It was the most feared Rank One restricted area around the region and also one of the top restricted areas in Erudia.
“Tell us the secret! Quick!” The Ospeans could not wait anymore.
“Follow me if you want to know how to get the magical herbs.” Levi and his men led the way.
A group of Ospeans then tagged along.
A while later, they arrived at the borders of the Rank One restricted area.
A terrifying aura crept up to them as they approached the area.
They could also sense the aura the beasts exuded.
The Ospeans instantly put their guard up.
They all knew what this deserted place was. “Why did you bring us here?”
They could not suppress their curiosity. “This must be at least a Rank Two restricted area. In fact, it might even be Rank One, right?”
A place with intense spiritual energy would provide the most ideal condition for magical herbs to grow. It would also encourage the cultivation of spiritual energy crystals.
However, it also meant there would be fearsome beasts lurking around.
The Ospeans could sense intense spiritual energy from a stone’s throw away.
That must be either a Rank Two or Rank One restricted area.
Levi smiled and replied, “Of course it is! Follow me if you want to know how I get the resources.”
“All right then.”
The Ospeans did not know what to expect but decided to follow Levi anyway.
Soon, they entered the restricted area.
Throughout the walk, Levi did not utter a single word.
He did not do anything unusual as well.
The rest of the men had no idea what his plan was, but they did not question him.
They simply followed him quietly.
All of a sudden, Levi stopped walking, giving the Ospeans a scare.
What is he trying to do now?
Chapter 3084 Did You Trick Us
Everyone gave Levi a confused look as they wanted to know what he had on his mind.
“Didn’t you say all the resources and Deities belong to you? And they’re supposed to take your orders, right?” Levi asked.
“Yes!” The Ospeans nodded.
“How about Deity-level beasts? Are they your subjects too? Should I summon a few powerful beasts to see how you can tame them?”
The color drained out of the Ospeans’ faces at that.
Is he mad? Why would the beasts obey us? They’ll gobble us up for sure!
“Enough with your joke, Mr. Garrison. We’re on the verge of breaking down, so stop pulling this kind of trick on us,” the Ospeans said.
The remarks that Levi had made earlier had made them emotionally vulnerable, but they tried to suppress their feelings.
Should Levi go overboard once again, they might lose their cool.
Levi smirked and said, “Come on, it’s a joke! I’m just trying to lighten the mood!”
He then continued the journey in the restricted area.
At this point, he had stopped exuding his aura.
Their presence in this Rank One restricted area soon caught the beasts’ attention, and that sent chills down the Ospeans’ spine.
The deeper they went, the more certain they were that this was a Rank One restricted area.
The Ospeans could no longer hide their fear.
In the past, they used to enter any Rank One restricted area with the company of several hundred Deities.
They would also station their men along the borders in case of emergency.
They would never enter a Rank One restricted area unprepared.
But today, they came in empty-handed, not knowing what to expect.
No one knew where Levi was taking them, but they were willing to trust him because they wanted to get their hands on his resources.
The Ospeans cautiously followed right behind Levi as he led the way.
I’m sure he knows what he’s doing, right? We should have faith in him.
He must be leading us to a secret place where the resources are stashed.
They tried consoling themselves with all these positive thoughts.
Upon noticing how stressful the Ospeans had become, Dr. Erebus chuckled.
Everyone thinks Levi knows the most convenient method to locate the resources, but that’s not true. The only way to find the resources is through digging!
Soon, Levi brought them to a spot where the spiritual energy was the most intense.
Not only could they find high-quality magical herbs around this place, but they could also locate the finest spiritual energy crystals here.
They could easily find these exquisite items in this particular spot as long as they were willing to dig the ground.
Levi randomly grabbed a spiritual energy crystal on the ground and said, “There, now you know the secret to my resources!”
“And?” The Ospeans seemed bewildered as they were still expecting him to reveal his ultimate secret.
Levi sighed and shook his head. He then picked up another spiritual energy crystal and said to them, “Can’t you see what I’m doing? Look for a place with resources, and start working on it like what I’m doing now!”
That’s it? Find a place that is abundant with the resources and start digging. That’s his secret?
The Ospeans finally understood Levi’s so-called method.
Is this a joke?
“Levi, are you messing with us right now?”
“This is how you retrieve the resources? Who are you kidding?”
“This is a Rank One restricted area. Do you think the Deity-level beasts will allow us to walk away with the resources? We should already count ourselves lucky that we didn’t bump into them today, but what if we did?”
“How dare you tell us that this is your secret? Do you think we’re fools?”
The Ospeans started venting their frustration on Levi.
Suddenly, they heard the roaring sound of beasts coming from a distance.
At that very moment, the beasts had already surrounded them.
Chapter 3085 Kill Everyone Who Is In Your Way
The Ospeans did not believe what Levi said.
Everyone in Terrandya reacted the same way when they heard him for the first time.
It’s common knowledge that the resources would be in abundance in restricted areas such as this. The question is, do we have the ability to get them?
Maybe if we had enough luck, we’d be able to avoid the beast for one time, but there’s no way we would be as lucky the next.
According to the number of resources that Levi has, he must have entered this Rank One restricted area more than twice in a few days.
How is it possible that he managed to succeed every time?
Take now for an instance, Levi’s here to get the resources, but we are now surrounded by beasts. So how are we getting out of here alive?
“One, two…”
The Ospeans started counting the number of beasts according to the aura that they sensed.
Two hundred and thirty-eight Deity-level beasts?
The Ospeans’ blood ran cold at the sheer number of the beasts.
It was definitely the most terrifying Rank One restricted area that they had ever seen.
Even the previous most terrifying Rank One restricted area only had only a hundred and twenty Deity-level beasts.
Yet, the number doubled today.
Besides, with the concentrated spiritual energy in the area, the beasts were more powerful than any other Deity-level beasts they had ever seen.
How are we supposed to fight them when there are more of them and each of them is more powerful?
How the hell did Levi get the resources under such circumstances?
There is simply no way!
The Ospeans thought that Levi was fooling them.
The method that he mentioned is impossible!
However, there was no point discussing that.
It didn’t matter whether Levi was lying to them or not.
The most crucial thing now was whether they could stay alive after being surrounded by these beasts.
They didn’t have any help, and their country, Ospea, had no idea that they were here.
As for Levi, the Ospeans figured that there was no way he could save himself, let alone save them.
There’s no way we could escape with more than two hundred Deity-level beasts surrounding us!
They reckoned that they would end up getting eaten by the beasts sooner or later.
They had already foreseen their fate, which was death without a complete body.
This is all Levi’s fault!
If they were given another chance, they would have never followed Levi.
Just as they were feeling extremely conflicted, the beasts were already approaching the area they were in and surrounding it.
Even the sky was full of flying beasts, blocking the sunlight from reaching them.
Everywhere they looked, a beast stood in their path. There was simply no way for them to leave the place alive.
Furious, one of the Ospeans yelled at Levi, “All right, let’s see how you’re going to get the resources out of here!”
“Didn’t you say that this is how you retrieve the resources? Well, show us how you’re going to take them from under the beasts’ noses!”
Everyone else had the same question.
All of them stared at Levi, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
Since everyone’s fate was inevitable, they might as well see how the man was going to keep his promise.
However, Levi and Dr. Erebus simply laughed at the Ospeans mockingly as if they were idiots.
Naturally, the Ospeans got even more infuriated at that.
Are they mocking us?
But it’s not like we have any idea on how to get out of this situation anyway.
Levi smiled and said, “That’s easy!”
“Easy?”
The more they heard from Levi, the more bamboozled they felt.
“Just kill them all! Kill anything that is in your way!” Levi made it sound as if it was an easy feat, but the Ospeans were afraid upon hearing that.
Easy? How the hell is it easy to kill such a tough-looking beast? Levi’s definitely bluffing.
Just then, a beast launched its attack.
Chapter 3086 Easy As Pie
Glowing bright in its armor made of scales, the beast charged toward the crowd.
Even a Deity would have difficulty in penetrating the scales, let alone killing it.
The radiation of the spiritual energy was so powerful that it strengthened the beasts’ physique and made their skins impenetrable.
The Ospeans were well aware that they couldn’t penetrate its armor.
Everyone was afraid of the terrifying aura that was unleashed by the beast.
How could anyone possibly stop it?
No one could rival the beast, which might not even be the most powerful one!
Not to mention, there are still a lot of beasts waiting to attack us!
As they braced themselves and prepared to fight back, a sound rang out.
Buzz!
As the crowd turned to the source of the sound, they were almost blinded by the light God Crusher was emitting.
The sharp blade pierced through the beast’s body, penetrating the beast’s armor effortlessly before slicing the beast into half.
Silence ensued as everyone was too shocked to speak.
Not expecting the sudden turn of events, the beasts were stunned as well.
The Ospeans were the most astonished of all.
That’s it? The beast is dead, just like that…
Who did it?
The blade… it seemed to have come from Levi.
For a moment, they thought they saw that Levi was glowing.
It must be him!
Before everyone could recover to their senses, the killing resumed.
With the God Crusher in his hand, Levi charged toward the beasts.
Alarmed by the horrifying advancement of the God Crusher and sensing its immense power, the beasts started to flee.
However, they couldn’t outrun the God Crusher.
In the blink of an eye, all the exits were sealed by the God Crusher.
Swoosh!
Weaving and stabbing through every beast it encountered in its path, the God Crusher soon turned red with blood. It was a one-sided massacre of the beasts.
The blood-curdling screeches from the beasts were deafening.
In the end, those strong and terrifying beasts were all slaughtered by Levi effortlessly.
Upon seeing that a few dozens of Deity-level beasts died in Levi’s hands, the remaining beasts were horrified by Levi’s aura and started to run for their lives.
They never expected their prey to be so powerful that they would in turn defeat them.
Levi didn’t chase after the beasts that ran away.
After all, he only wanted to scare off the beasts in the restricted area. He had no desire to wipe all of them out.
What he did was more than enough.
He just wanted to show those Ospeans his method of retrieving the resources, which was to kill off any beast that was in the way.
As the beasts fled, everyone turned to Levi and stared at him with disbelief written on their faces.
Initially, Ospea had thought of intimidating and pressuring Levi by sending a full team of Deities to meet with him. However, those same Deities were now terrified of him.
How is it possible for such a powerful man to exist?
He managed to kill so many beasts with just a weapon!
He definitely could have killed every beast if that’s what he wanted.
It was clear then that the Deities were nothing compared to Levi.
For the first time, the group of Deities felt mind-blown.
We’re the Deities here. So if Levi is more powerful than us, doesn’t that mean that his existence is much more terrifying than he’s letting on?
Whoosh!
After the God Crusher returned to Levi’s grip, he kept it and turned to face the Ospeans.
“See, I told you. Retrieving the resources is just that easy! All you have to do is kill every beast that stands in your way.”
Chapter 3087 The Secret Of Levi
Levi’s method was very straightforward. All he had to do was to go to the place with resources and kill anything that was in the way.
Previously, nobody believed Levi’s method.
Now that they saw it with their own eyes, however, they finally believed him.
With his power, retrieving the resources appeared to be like child’s play.
He could get as much resources as he want.
After all, he simply had to waltz through any Rank One restricted area and retrieve any resources he wanted.
Rumor had it that Terrandya already found out Levi’s secret technique.
However, there was no action from Terrandya at all.
Initially, they thought that perhaps Terrandya did not obtain Levi’s secret, after all. But they soon scrapped that thought as it sounded impossible.
But why didn’t they search for the resources then? Could it be that they no longer want or need it? No… that’s not it. The only reason must be that this method of retrieving resources is suitable for Levi and Levi only.
There was simply no one else that could use the same method as him.
Everyone knew how to retrieve the resources now, but none of them could actually do it.
“I’ve already shown you my method of retrieving the resources. Are you clear now on how to do it?” Levi asked.
Silence ensued once again as everybody was still stunned and terrified by the power of the God Crusher they had witnessed earlier.
“Shall I show you again then if it’s not clear enough? Since the beasts have all run away, why don’t all of you pretend to be them and try to stop me?” Levi continued.
The Ospeans almost went hysterical when they heard what Levi said.
Repeat a second time and try to stop him ourselves? There’s no way in hell we’re up for that!
Although the Ospeans might do and say something weird because of their religion and beliefs, they weren’t stupid.
Everyone was afraid of dying.
Besides, they saw with their own eyes just how capable Levi was.
As such, they were painfully aware that they wouldn’t be able to defend themselves from Levi when even the scaled beasts couldn’t win a fight against him.
“N-No thanks… Y-Your demonstration earlier was clear enough…”
They were close to peeing their pants in their frightened states.
“All right! Good to hear that. So, I won’t need to show you again, right? Just asking again to see if you guys want to change your minds,” Levi said indifferently.
“N-No need! It’s clear enough! There’s no need for another round of demonstration!” The Ospeans hurriedly chimed in.
Scared witless, all of them finally believed Levi.
Glaring at them, Levi said, “You’re the ones who forced my hand into demonstrating it to you since you don’t believe me. If I hadn’t shown you how I retrieve the resources, I bet you would have kept pestering me, right?”
“We’re sorry! We’re terribly sorry!”
The Ospeans started to apologize.
Their initial arrogance had long since vanished because they were now facing someone that was superior instead of inferior to them.
Levi smirked. “I’ll let you off since you apologized. Or else, I would have killed every one of you just like how I did with Terrandya!”
“What? You’ve killed all the Deities in Terrandya?”
The Ospeans were so stunned by the news that beads of cold sweat formed on their foreheads.
“I did. Why do you think they’re being so quiet now?” Levi nodded and confirmed the truth.
“What? So there are no Deities left in Terrandya?”
As the Ospeans looked at each other with horror in their eyes, they finally understood why they never saw any Deities after the incident that took place at Terrandya.
It also explained why nobody from Terrandya went to retrieve the resources.
It was because none of them was still alive.
Chapter 3088 The Key To The Heavenly Lock
Despite knowing the secret to retrieving the resources, Terrandya didn’t have the ability to execute it.
Now, the truth about what happened in Terrandya was exposed as well.
As Dr. Erebus needed to do something else afterward under Levi’s orders, they started the process of retrieving the resources soon enough.
Digital God was in charge of preparing the exporting machines while Fearsome Four and Mutant Number Thirteen were in charge of mining the resources.
They were the ones that always helped Levi with the digging and exporting of resources.
After Levi gave his orders, they started working.
“Mr. Garrison, are you going to attack Xyperia next?” The Ospeans trembled slightly as they asked.
“Of course. Once my daughter’s recovered, I will take my revenge on Xyperia. You are all welcome to witness our fight.”
“We will most definitely be there!”
The Ospeans nodded in unison.
“A word of warning. Since I’ve already taught you my method, should you’re still thinking of taking my resources, Ospea can be prepared to become a country with no Deities left. And trust me when I say I’ll make sure it happens.”
Levi left after saying that.
If he had said that before the fight with the beasts occurred, no one would have believed him.
Now that they had witnessed the fight clearly, however, they finally knew just how capable Levi was.
“Mr. Garrison, we’ll help your daughter in her recovery!”
Seeing that it was a good opportunity to make Levi their ally, the Deities of Ospea offered to help Levi.
However, Levi did not reply to them because he was no longer desperate for any help.
Once the heavenly lock was opened, the poison in Forlevia’s body would be cured.
Just like that, not only did the Ospeans’ plan of rising through Levi’s resources fail, but they had also failed to befriend him.
They had no choice but to continue keeping a low profile and act as if they were non-existent.
It seemed that Ospea was never and would never be the center of attention of the world.
On the other hand, Levi already had an encounter with the Deities from all three of the most powerful countries in the world.
The Deities in the third country on the list were wiped out by him while the Deities in the second country were intimidated by his sword.
Now, all that was left was the first country.
Everyone was waiting for the moment for Forlevia’s poison to be cured.
Meanwhile, Shield was still investigating the murder of the envoy and the whereabouts of the missing magical medicine.
The powerful forces that were controlling Chad were also working on the case.
However, they found nothing because Levi didn’t leave any trail behind.
There was no way of knowing what exactly had happened.
Since all the suspects were kept under watch at the time, they were stuck in their investigation.
After Levi sent someone to investigate Chad’s true identity, he managed to find out a lot of clues.
It turned out that Chad had actually changed his identity multiple times and had always been leading an ordinary life.
However, he seemed to come from a prominent background and was connected with the mysterious Eragon.
“He’s connected to Eragon?” Levi was surprised.
Before that, Levi already knew that The Cardinal Hall and Eragon were different.
The Cardinal Hall was established to protect Erudia, but Eragon was established to protect a certain secret.
“We still need to continue the investigation to unravel all the details. I have a feeling that this is a very crucial piece of information. It is possible that Chad is in cahoots with the people controlling him.”
Levi wasn’t expecting this outcome.
So, turns out that Chad isn’t so simple after all…
Their investigation proved that Levi was right about Chad’s complicated past and identity.
If they continued the investigation on him, they would soon uncover important information.
The good news for Levi did not end there.
Three days later, Bruno and the others returned with a still unopened box that contained the magical medicine.
However, apart from that, he also brought back an ancient manual that recorded the long-lost art of mechanisms that contained the secrets to unlocking the heavenly lock.
Chapter 3089 Levi Is Missing
The person that Bruno went to did not open the heavenly lock but rather gave Bruno and his team an ancient manual so that Levi could learn to open it himself.
“Master Garrison, I will not reveal the identity of this senior. Like the Miracle doctor, he is a recluse. Furthermore, no one must know about this ancient manual for the heavenly lock,” Bruno cautioned him about the need for secrecy.
“All right, I got it. Thank you.”
Levi took over the ancient manual and started reading through it.
My gosh, it’s so complicated and obscure!
To those who did not know anything about locks, the manual was like something out of this world.
In fact, even those who were familiar with locks would find the manual just as complicated.
Furthermore, according to the ancient manual, there was more than one type of heavenly lock—there were thousands of them.
As for the box containing the magical medicine, it was not known which type of heavenly lock was used on it.
As such, it would be necessary to study and research every type of lock listed in the manual, which would in turn take a lot of time and effort.
The heavenly lock is indeed mysterious.
After flipping through the ancient manual once, Levi realized that unlocking it would be an extremely difficult task.
“I never thought that the final hurdle would be up to me to solve it.” Levi heaved a long sigh.
“Here, let me have a go at it. See if I can be of help to you,” Digital God chimed in.
Levi thought that it was probably too late to look for someone familiar with the art of mechanisms.
Besides, if they did that, their mission would be exposed.
Taking into account what Bruno had cautioned them just now, Levi had no choice but to take on the job himself.
If the research was successful and the heavenly lock could be opened, the magical medicine would be accessible.
The final step of the problem was now up to him.
With that, Levi began to study the ancient manual of the heavenly lock immediately.
This would keep him busy for some time.
Nevertheless, he reckoned it would be worth it if he could find the way to open the heavenly lock, as the thing was indeed a tough nut to crack.
In other words, it was probably impossible to open the heavenly lock without knowledge of the art of mechanisms.
The powerful forces backing Chad had counted on this.
They figured that even if the magical medicine was stolen, the box could not be opened.
As long as the heavenly lock could not be opened, the magical medicine could not be accessed.
In the end, the box would remain useless in the hands of the person that took it. After all, they would have no idea what the heavenly lock actually was.
However, what they did not anticipate was that on Levi’s side, somebody did know something about the heavenly lock.
In fact, they had even gotten their hands on the ancient manual of the said heavenly lock.
The following month, Levi pored through the ancient manual.
There had been no action from Levi’s side. In fact, he had been keeping a low profile.
Meanwhile, everyone continued with their tasks that was arranged by Levi.
Everything was quiet and there was no earth-shattering events happening.
It was as if everyone had disappeared.
As for the bounty that Levi had offered, Idrae continued to keep watch on that and swiftly took out anyone who dared to take up the bounty.
As time passed, nobody dared to accept the reward offered.
Nonetheless, both Idrae and Hydron were soon left puzzled.
Has Levi stopped trying to get the cure for his daughter?
Why has he disappeared?
Why is there no news at all?
Why has no one seen him recently?
No one seems to know what he’s up to.
Even his associates have not been seen.
What is going on?
What on earth is Levi up to?
These were what they were concerned about.
Idrae quickly sent men to check out what Levi was doing.
Their suspicions was too much for them to bear.
After all, it was really uncharacteristic of Levi to disappear just like that.
Those who were monitoring his activities were all befuddled.
What is he trying to do?
Why has no one seen or heard from him after the auction?
Has he totally given up on resisting?
The bounty was stalled and no one dared to accept it anymore.
As for the magical medicine, it was snatched by a mystery party and up till now, the culprit had yet to be identified.
This meant that Levi’s hopes had been dashed.
At least, that was what was presumed by some to be the reason why Levi went off-grid.
Even the Heavenly League had no idea what Levi was up to.
So, there was no way the others could have known anything.
Unbeknownst to everyone, during this period of time, there had been a flurry of visitors heading to the restricted areas of Erudia.
And because they were only active in Rank One and Rank Two restricted areas, nobody in Erudia knew of their existence.
After all, other than the Heavenly League, no one had the capabilities to explore the restricted area.
In fact, even the Heavenly League avoided the Rank One restricted area.
Chapter 3090 The Number Of Deities In Xyperia
Because Levi had arranged for Troy and the others to investigate other matters, the reappearance of the Ecclesiastic Order went unnoticed.
Otherwise, Levi would have received word about it much earlier.
Meanwhile, in Xyperia, the whole country was in an excited state.
They had an abundance of resources as well as the Idrae’s methods.
Because of this, Deities were being produced continuously and their numbers were skyrocketing.
Moreover, Idrae had existed for a long time and had collected numerous ancient technique books from various parts of the world.
In order to please Xyperia, they had contributed everything.
Most of the technique books were beneficial to the Deities, helping them to turn their spiritual energy into more power or to strengthen their attack and defense.
As a result, the power of Xyperia’s Deities improved as a whole, getting stronger by the day.
What was more surprising was the number of Deities that were produced had exceeded everyone’s imagination.
Titan Lord and the rest could not stop smiling from ear to ear from such joyous happenings.
“The number of Deities in Xyperia should be in tens of thousands now, right?” Someone was curious and could not help asking.
The people of Xyperia were eager to know just how powerful their own country had become.
“Hehe…” Titan Lord chuckled contemptuously as if saying that was an underestimate.
Evidently, the number was much higher.
“Could it be fifty thousand?”
Everyone looked at Titan Lord in astonishment.
“Are you underestimating our resources or the Idrae?” Titan Lord asked, chuckling coldly.
“Could it be… o-one hundred thousand?”
When someone quoted this figure, the audience was stunned, and everyone felt as if their hearts had leaped into their throats.
“Hehe, your imagination is still not vivid enough! Let’s just say, it’s beyond your imagination, anyway!”
Titan Lord laughed as he spoke.
“What? One hundred thousand is still not enough? Then, are you telling us that the real number of Deities is…”
It’s unimaginable!
Knowing that their limited imagination probably couldn’t handle the truth, they no longer dared to guess what the figure was.
To them, one hundred thousand was their limit, anything more would make them lose their mind.
This is too terrifying!
Hiss!
Everyone gasped.
On their faces were looks of horror.
This was definitely the most baffling thing they had ever seen in their lives.
But apart from feeling stunned, they were proud of their country, Xyperia, too.
This is how mighty Xyperia is!
Even a guess of a hundred thousand Deities was an underestimate. One could only imagine how many Deities have been produced…
This was also one of the factors why Idrae had put their trust in Xyperia.
They knew that as long as they were protected by Xyperia, they would always be safe.
Anyone who dreamt of taking revenge on them was simply laughable.
After all, they would have to go against Xyperia first.
Then, they would need to step over the dead bodies of more than one hundred thousand Deities in Xyperia before they could even begin settling scores with Idrae.
It was simply an impossible task.
Previously, when there were tens of thousands of Deities in Xyperia, they had felt at ease.
Now, the Deities had multiplied to a number that was way beyond imagination. There was no way one wouldn’t feel safe being protected by all these Deities.
As such, Idrae had nothing to be afraid of. They had no fear of anyone taking revenge against them.
Even if a powerful country like Ospea were to come for them with all its might, they would still have nothing to fear.
Naturally, they were unafraid of Levi.
In fact, at this point, it was even laughable of Levi to want to take revenge on them.
As for the huge organization that had pledged to take revenge on them, they were a joke, too.
Before long, news broke out all over the world that the number of Deities in Xyperia had exceeded one hundred thousand.
In an instant, the whole word fell silent.
The news was like the scoop of the century, as all countries were on the verge of hysteria.
Everyone was thinking of catching up to Xyperia, especially the top ten forces in the world.
They had thought that they were finally closing the gap between them and Xyperia when the news of the figures got out, leaving everyone in shock.
Now, they couldn’t even dream of comparing with Xyperia.
The gap was only getting bigger and bigger.
As for those that wanted to take revenge, they would only be embarking on a fool’s errand if they thought they could take on a hundred thousand Deities.
