Ch. 3421..3430
Chapter 3421 Giant Device Of Yartran
No one expected Levi would make a violent visit to Yartran so suddenly.
After the failure last time, Yartran had vanished from the public eye.
Levi’s strength yet again exceeded their expectations.
They had revealed to Shield before on the probability of them winning, but they knew they would have to pay a terrible price.
However, after that battle, they completely changed.
They suspected it might be possible to defeat Levi, but only if the entirety of Yartran’s attack force was mobilized.
Recently, even the king of Yartran blamed his ambassadors for working with the Ecclesiastic Order to go against Levi.
The situation was dire for them, and they had no idea how to deal with it.
The battle thoroughly exposed them, on top of the fact that they also suffered severe losses.
Now, the world had learned about the existence of Yartran.
It was chaos everywhere in the world. Obviously, Yartran wanted to be the country to have the last laugh.
However, that chance of happening was lost forever, and they had made a terrible enemy in the process.
In the past, it was still fine, because Levi only had a grudge against Zarain.
He didn’t know about Yartran, so he didn’t care.
Things had sadly changed, and Yartran had become yet another target for Levi to destroy.
They knew what Levi was like, and they knew he would seek revenge.
The high-rank officials of Yartran gathered together to discuss what to do next.
Levi was coming to seek revenge, there was no doubt about that.
However, after their analysis, they were certain Levi would focus his attention on the Ecclesiastic Order and the deviant clans at the moment.
Thus, for the moment, he wouldn’t come for them.
That meant they would have time to prepare.
As usual, they were discussing how to deal with Levi that day.
They believed Yartran was still hidden, despite its existence was now known to the rest of the world, because no one could find them easily.
None of them expected Levi would arrive at Yartran in such a loud manner.
His voice spread to every corner of the country, informing them of his arrival.
Everyone in Yartran was in a frenzy. Some had even started to escape.
Levi was incredibly powerful, after all. Of course, they were afraid of him.
Even from afar, one could see the entirety of Yartran was in a frantic mess.
Black Hawk smirked. Who could’ve thought these high and mighty b*stards would be scared like this? Though, that just speaks volumes of how powerful Levi is. It would appear I bet on the right horse.
“Activate the defense system!”
Yartran reacted fast.
Rumble…
The earth began to shake before a formless force field instantly covered the entire country.
There was a terrifying amount of energy flowing through the force field. On top of that, there were ancient symbols on them.
Most importantly, the force field was connected to Yartran’s super-spiritual ley line.
Therefore, there was an endless amount of energy streaming into the force field.
It was Yartran’s greatest trump card.
The force field was actually a giant device with many functions.
For example, it could hide the country, change the gravity inside, manipulate the magnetic field, and, of course, construct a barrier that would protect the country by blocking all incoming attacks.
Since they were in danger, they didn’t have enough time to hide Yartran.
They could only activate the defense mechanism to halt Levi in his path.
“Be prepared to fight with Levi!”
Soon, everyone in Yartran was on the move in preparation for a battle to the death with Levi.
“Don’t worry! There’s no way he’ll crack open this force field!” Yartran was very confident in their force field.
However, it was an insult to them that they had to use it in the first place.
After all, they shouldn’t be afraid of anyone enough to activate the force field barrier.
Since Levi had made his way there, they had no choice but to activate it.
They were confident it was invincible, and that it could protect their country from all known attacks.
Chapter 3422 Levi Cannot Do Anything
Yartran had conducted hundreds of thousands of tests on their barrier before. None could even crack it.
However, simply activating it was already an insult to them because it basically meant they admitted they were in grave danger.
They thought themselves to be an unparalleled existence, a country that couldn’t be threatened, and one that didn’t need to use the barrier they built.
Sadly, they were wrong, and someone who could threaten them did show up.
And that person was none other than Levi.
His heaven-defying strength terrified Yartran, even more so when he showed up unannounced.
They thought he was looking for trouble.
The defense system activated very quickly as it instantly covered the entire country.
An insane amount of energy was pumping into the barrier.
Black Hawk was shocked as he felt the expanding energy.
“There’s no way we can break this, Mr. Garrison!” he uttered tremblingly. This defense system is too scary! There’s no way we can break into Yartran.
Levi stepped forward. “Let me give it a try.”
He was interested because, in all his time fighting with the Ecclesiastic Order, he had never seen something as special as that barrier. This barrier looks pretty solid. I wonder if it can handle a punch from me.
Originally, he was just going to ask them how exactly they came in contact with the Ecclesiastic Order.
The activation of the barrier failed to deter him and even got him pumped. I really want to try breaking it. Once I smash this barrier open, they’ll listen to me.
Buzz…
Suddenly, the ground and the sky were shaking, as though space itself was going to crumble.
The entirety of Yartran was practically trembling because Levi was about to unleash his punch.
Before he even made the punch, heaven and earth were already shaking, as though the planet couldn’t handle his power.
“What?” The people in Yartran were flabbergasted because they could feel the tremor prior to Levi unleashing his punch.
It was as though the entire country was being compressed to such an extreme degree that its citizens felt their bodies being squashed and their consciousness fading away.
The power of a single punch was enough to terrify everyone.
“Relax! As strong as Levi is, there’s no way he can crack the barrier open!”
“That’s right! It’s absolutely impossible!”
“As long as we stay inside, Levi can’t do anything to us!”
“Once we finish our preparations, we’ll be able to strike back!”
While the wind-up of the punch did cause quite the stir, the citizens of Yartran still continued to complete their preparation.
They were ready to battle against Levi.
All advanced weaponry and fighters were stationed on the front lines.
Levi was already high up in the air as he smashed his punch downward.
The citizens of Yartran stood below as they stared above and watched his punch raining down like God’s fist.
It was as though the punch was a mountain enveloping the sky and blocking out the sun.
A punch being able to do that was hard to imagine.
Black Hawk was bewildered.
Levi was like a vessel of God crashing down into the earth from the heavens.
Eventually, the unimaginably powerful punch made contact with the barrier.
The citizens of Yartran could already feel the crazy amount of power above them.
Even though the barrier was still protecting them, they could feel the heat emanating from Levi’s attack, as if it was burning the country.
Beep! Beep!
Alarms were going off in the entirety of Yartran because the defense system had detected danger.
Not only that, the alarm was getting more frequent and louder.
“Danger! Danger!”
The defense system kept on reinforcing the barrier.
Even the super-spiritual ley line was sending a frighteningly large amount of energy to the barrier.
Upon detecting greater danger, the defense system activated its highest level of defense.
Chapter 3423 Failed To Shatter
In a blink of an eye, the barrier instantly gained tens of layers of additional protection. It was the maximum capability of Yartran’s defense system.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion was heard, as though the god of lightning was roaring right above the country.
A shockwave was spread out from Levi and reached all the way to Zarain.
That amount of terrifying power could only be matched by the activation of countless superweapons at the same time.
Bang!
Levi’s punch made contact with the barrier.
Another thud was heard as the defense system shook violently.
That punch almost caused the entirety of Yartran to flip over.
It wasn’t just shaking the ground, it was flipping heaven and earth upside down!
The sky was collapsing, and the earth was sinking.
Everyone uncontrollably flew into the air and floated.
Many of the machines in the country were destroyed.
Even the land itself was spinning.
All kinds of extreme weather appeared at the same time.
The loss was too great!
An important detail about Yartran was that its region was different from the outside world.
They practically used giant devices to create a whole new world.
The gravity and magnetic field there were completely different from the outside world.
However, at that moment, the barrier, which was the giant device, suffered an extreme punch from Levi.
He broke the balance of the region, causing the gravity and magnetic field of the country to go totally haywire.
That was why crazy stuff was happening.
Yartran never thought it was even possible for a single punch to destroy their country’s balance, and it scared them greatly.
Chaos was in the streets, as though judgment day had arrived.
While it felt like the country was getting uprooted, the citizens were glad the barrier didn’t break.
It managed to block Levi’s punch.
“Oh god! That was so scary!”
“Levi’s punch actually managed to deplete forty-seven percent of the barrier’s total energy!”
The staffs controlling the giant device were shocked when they saw that number.
It was beyond their expectation because when they were doing their testing, the best they could manage to deplete was thirty-five percent of the total energy.
Yet, Levi almost depleted half of it in just one punch.
Cold sweat was covering their entire bodies as they took in a deep breath. No wonder he managed to break the balance of our country, because he managed to deplete almost half of the barrier’s energy!
Then they cackled wildly.
That was because, in their mind, they believed that punch was the upper limit of Levi’s strength.
How could it not be with the damage the punch caused?
As scary as that punch was, it only depleted forty-seven percent of the total energy.
In the end, it still couldn’t destroy the barrier.
If Levi wanted to crack the barrier, his punch had to be strong enough to deplete at least eighty percent of the total energy.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t break.
Some might think that, if one punch could take out forty-seven percent of the total energy reserve, then two punches would be enough to deplete ninety-four percent of the energy.
And if a third punch was unleashed, then the barrier would no doubt break, correct?
Wrong!
One couldn’t be blamed if they thought the barrier only had fifty-three percent of the total energy left after Levi’s punch drained forty-seven percent of it.
However, that wasn’t the case.
That was because the moment after the barrier received damage, the defense system would instantly repair it to full capacity.
It would be as though it was never damaged at all.
That was possible because the giant device was connected to a super-spiritual ley line. It supplied an unlimited amount of energy into the barrier.
The moment the barrier suffered damage, it would be instantly repaired.
There would be no chance for a second punch to damage it further because the barrier would be fully recovered in a blink of an eye.
A second punch would be pointless.
That was how powerful Yartran’s device was.
Chapter 3424 Not The Strongest Punch
That was the reason the machine was called “Eternal”.
It meant there was an unlimited amount of energy supplying the device.
Unless Levi could unleash a punch that drained more than eighty percent of the barrier’s energy, it would stay up indefinitely.
The barrier would instantly recover the moment after it received damage, making sure that Levi wouldn’t have a chance to damage it twice in a row with his punches.
It didn’t matter how quickly his two punches were unleashed, because it wouldn’t work.
Eternal was truly an incredible machine.
It was so well connected with the super-spiritual ley line that it was basically one with the ley line.
“Hahaha! Restore everything in Yartran! Increase the strength of the defense system! We can’t let the power of the punch shatter the balance of our country before our barrier even breaks!”
Once again, they activated Eternal’s other systems to restore the internal balance of the country.
Furthermore, they reinforced the balance so the previous situation wouldn’t happen again.
Soon, everything returned to normal in Yartran.
“Now we can truly relax! Even Levi’s strongest punch can’t take out the barrier! He’ll never crack it open! We can all let out a sigh of relief! However, the counterattack was still delayed by it. He couldn’t destroy the barrier, but he still did drain almost half of the barrier’s energy. For now, we can’t go against him face-to-face! We’ll be fine as long as we stay inside!”
Soon, news traveled to all corners of Yartran.
The citizens were informed that as long as they didn’t go out, Levi wouldn’t be able to enter.
If they went out to fight Levi, they would die horribly, because he was bewilderingly powerful.
Everyone basically mocked him from inside the barrier.
“Come on in, Levi! Come in if you can!”
“Haha, now you know our true power!”
“Nothing in this world can destroy Yartran’s defense system!”
Once the high-rank officials of Yartran learned of the news, they stop caring about Levi because even his strongest punch couldn’t crack the barrier.
Without any other options, he would leave.
And so, the high-rank officials began to discuss how to deal with him and the world in the future.
Levi stood above the barrier, stared down at it, and laughed. “Magnificent! Truly magnificent!”
It was by far the toughest thing he had ever seen because he couldn’t destroy it in one punch.
“Give up, Levi! Even your strongest punch failed to drain half of the barrier’s total energy!” Yartran started taunting him.
They thought they had successfully made Levi give up.
Even Black Hawk wanted to tell Levi to give up. Yartran is too strong. Their barrier is astonishingly powerful.
Levi smirked. “Who said that was my strongest punch?”
The moment Yartran’s elites, who were standing closest to Levi, heard that, their expression changed.
A bad feeling began to rise in their hearts as their sanity slowly spiraled out of control.
They couldn’t believe Levi could get even more powerful.
When they saw his smile, they felt like going crazy.
“This is not good!” Someone could tell something was off.
Goosebumps began spreading on their body.
Levi’s punch earlier was the strongest one since spiritual energy revival happened.
He didn’t even use that much power when he faced the Ecclesiastic Order.
The punch he used to hit the barrier was already far more powerful than anything the world had seen before, yet it still wasn’t his most powerful punch.
His punch earlier was just a test to see how powerful the barrier was.
It wasn’t his full strength.
At that moment, he had learned the limits of the barrier.
“I’m so happy that I can unleash a proper punch!” Levi smiled.
He was going to use his full power for the next attack.
The expressions of the members controlling Eternal changed.
Their guts were telling them doom was coming.
Chapter 3425 Highest Level Of Danger
Levi stared at the barrier and raised his punch.
That punch looked like an ordinary punch from an average person.
It didn’t cause the earth to shake or spell the doom of the world.
The planet wasn’t trembling because it couldn’t handle the sheer power of the punch.
There was no sound coming from heaven or earth.
The citizens of Yartran definitely didn’t feel the crushing pressure and melting heat from earlier.
Even Eternal didn’t detect any danger.
That punch was shot out like a bullet made of feathers.
It looked like a joke, so much so that it shocked the crowd. That’s it? Is it possible? Is Levi joking right now?
No one knew that was Levi’s most powerful attack.
All the energy he could gather was concentrated on a single explosive point.
On the surface, the punch looked normal, but Levi had actually compressed all his energy into it.
The crowd simply couldn’t see it.
They were taken aback earlier because they thought Levi was going to throw another apocalyptic punch.
Upon seeing that ordinary punch, however, they let out a sigh of relief.
How powerful could that punch be? That was what they thought.
It couldn’t take down the barrier. No way.
Bang!
Levi’s seemingly soft punch made contact with the barrier swiftly.
Right as the crowd was about to mock Levi, Eternal suddenly sounded all the alarms.
“Danger! Danger! Highest level of danger detected!”
Only then did Eternal detected danger, but it was too late.
The energy Levi compressed into his punch exploded in an instant.
Rumble…
Out of nowhere, the mountains began to shake, and the ground cracked before shattering.
It was as though the planet was experiencing a seizure as a buzzing sound was heard in the sky.
Bang!
Yartran’s balance was once again fractured.
A crazy amount of energy and pressure rushed through the entirety of the country.
It was the single greatest destruction Yartran had ever faced.
Even the very land the citizens stood on was torn into pieces. Cracks could be seen everywhere, as though the earth was swallowing everything on the surface.
That baffling display of power terrified everyone.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
In an instant, the damage the barrier received soared rapidly while its energy was dropped.
All of that happened in a blink of an eye.
Crack!
Yartran’s greatest fear had been realized.
A crack was formed on the barrier.
Eternal detected that the punch took out one hundred and twenty percent of the barrier’s total energy.
It was enough to destroy the barrier completely.
The barrier was shattered without delay.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Once Levi’s punch cracked one spot, it caused a domino effect that led to the entire barrier coming down.
The citizens of Yartran couldn’t believe there would come a day when their greatest achievement, the barrier of Eternal, would be demolished.
It was a devastating blow to the citizens of Yartran.
Not only did the punch take out the barrier, a fifth of its power that the barrier failed to block shook the entire country.
It was as though the punch was going to destroy the entire land.
However, Yartran was still strong enough to withstand it.
Countless fighters activated their weapons to block Levi’s punch.
Sadly, Yartran was destroyed beyond recognition.
A once technologically advanced country with an ancient cultivation system was turned into a wasteland because of Levi’s loathsome punch.
It shattered the balance of the land.
Chaos dominated the entire region as the injured citizens were befuddled by Levi’s strength.
They had no idea what to do next as Levi advanced.
Yartran would need to gather all its greatest power to fight against him.
Chapter 3426 Yartran Still Had Strength Left
It would be the last stand for Yartran because their strongest barrier had been shattered.
The entire country was laid bare for Levi to see.
“Activate attack mode!”
Soon, Eternal was shifted into attack mode.
The most goosebump-inducing weapons all locked onto Levi.
The fighters also aimed their weapons at him.
All attack forces in Yartran were prepared to engage in battle with Levi as more fighters rushed in his direction.
Since defense was impossible, attack was the only other option.
All of them wanted nothing more than to protect their precious homeland from the single invader, and they were willing to put their lives on the line to do that.
Their only path to salvation was to kill Levi.
“No one can invade Yartran!”
Yartran had pulled out all its trump cards.
There were giants the size of a hill, monsters that were large enough to block the sun, fighters equipped with magical techniques and technology…
In any case, there were a ton of deadly weapons that the outside world had never seen before.
Yartran was doing their best to display their full power in hopes of intimidating the invader from attacking.
Their strength was no worse than the united Ecclesiastic Order.
Yartran’s citizens stood with each other, unlike the order, which was separated into many factions.
Their power was greater as a whole.
It was hard to tell if invincible fighters were going to pop out.
Countless fighters of Yartran stared at the monstrous Levi as he descended into their ruined homes.
Everyone was incredibly tense.
After all, Levi had just decimated their beloved country in one punch.
Not counting the battle from before, his feat of destroying the barrier earlier was enough to unnerve all of them.
Who wouldn’t be afraid while facing down an invincible monster?
Levi smiled. Why are they making it such a big show? Are they all crazy?
“We know how powerful you are, Levi! However, you’re now facing the wrath of Yartran for provoking us!”
“Leave now and we’ll consider letting you go!”
“We know you’re strong. That’s why we’re willing to pay a blood price! If all of us fight you, you’ll no doubt die!”
Of course, Yartran was just bluffing. They didn’t want to fight him.
All they wanted was to scare him away, even though they were shaking in their boots.
However, if push came to shove, they would still lay down their lives to protect their home.
“I’m just here to ask a question. Why are you all panicking so much?” Levi felt a little resigned.
Yartran’s citizens were dumbfounded.
“Eh? You’re here to ask a question?”
They thought he was there to take revenge on them, which was why they immediately activated their defense system.
It was beyond their wildest imagination that Levi destroyed their barrier and their country just to ask a question.
“You… Are you for real? You’re really here to ask a question?”
The citizens of Yartran were still scared of him.
Well, not completely scared, because they were really angry and they wanted to kill him for bringing the apocalypse to their doorstep.
Still, they couldn’t afford to just attack him and cause even further damage.
If they were going to kill him, they wanted to do so with as little bloodshed as possible instead of a bloodbath.
They had to ensure they had enough forces left to fend off other invaders that might take advantage of the catastrophic damage Levi caused.
Otherwise, they would be wiped out, because there were still plenty of other forces that could do so.
They had other contingencies that disallowed them from using all their strength to fend off Levi.
Therefore, if they could choose not to fight, they wouldn’t.
Killing Levi would have to come later.
Staring at their confused faces, Levi smiled. “If I came here to beat you all up, I wouldn’t be standing here and talking, now would I?”
The crowd then realized that made sense.
He did say at the start he was there to visit Yartran.
If he wanted revenge, he would’ve torn the country apart without saying a word instead of announcing his presence.
That made everyone in Yartran calm down significantly because not fighting would be the best outcome for them.
“What do you want to know?” an envoy of Yartran asked.
“Two days ago, you lot tried to kill me. Did the Ecclesiastic Order contact you all?” Levi asked.
Chapter 3427 I Will Destroy You Next Time
“Eh? That…” The leader of Yartran hesitated before shouting, “Who’s the one who contacted the Ecclesiastic Order?”
Soon, an envoy stepped forward. “I was the one who talked with them!”
Levi asked, “Who were the ones you talked to? Describe their appearance!”
“There were six people from the Ecclesiastic Order who contacted me. We don’t know who they were initially because they hid their identities pretty well. However, we never do anything before knowing who we’re dealing with. They underestimated our ability and thought we wouldn’t discover their identities. I sent people to investigate them and found out that all six of them came from different factions in the Ecclesiastic Order. They all occupied a middle-level position in their respective factions. Due to their rank, a lot of information passed through them…” the envoy explained.
That was more or less what Levi expected because it was how the organization was structured. I knew it. It wasn’t any high-rank officials. They have to be the ones in the middle of the hierarchy because they don’t attract a lot of attention to themselves. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to pull this off without anyone noticing.
“It was because they were persuasive and the information they provided was reliable that we sent people to join their plan to take you down…”
The crowd lowered their heads when the envoy stopped there.
They didn’t have the guts to, because they did try to take him down.
Levi didn’t care they were the ones who initially provoked him and continued, “Give me all the information about the six of them! I’ll investigate them myself!”
“Okay!” The envoy promptly handed the information regarding those six to him.
“Is there anything else we can do to help, Mr. Garrison?” he then tried to butter up Levi.
Levi sneered coldly, “Nope! Although, don’t you all forget that I will remember you lot for trying to kill me! I’m not going to let that go easily!”
It sent a chill down all their spines.
“I will have my revenge! Once I deal with the Ecclesiastic Order, you all will be next! I’ll give you all enough time to prepare, so show me what you’re truly capable of! In fact, you guys can try to kill me as I deal with the Ecclesiastic Order! However, the moment I destroy them, I’m coming for you all next. The next time we meet will be your destruction!” Levi exclaimed domineeringly.
The citizens of Yartran were flabbergasted.
They couldn’t believe he was that confident.
Although, he did earn that confidence with his overwhelming power.
Yartran had never been threatened like that before, but there was nothing they could do.
In the end, Levi left as the crowd stared at him in disbelief. “Until next time!”
His voice echoed, as though he was still taunting them.
The citizens of Yartran frowned.
They were scared because they knew what would happen when they met him again.
“You all heard that! Levi’s going to come and kill us sooner or later!”
“We need to gather all our greatest forces to kill him!”
“That’s right! We’ll have to keep a close eye on his movements! Once his battle against the Ecclesiastic Order begins, we must participate in it! We have to kill him with minimum bloodshed on our side!”
Yartran was thrown into chaos again as everyone began their preparation.
They understood that, if Yartran was to survive, they had to kill Levi.
There was no other way for them to live.
Even in their wildest imagination, they never thought their great country would be threatened by a single person.
Going back to Gloria, even though she told Floyd they shouldn’t meet often, she very much wanted to know the progress of Levi’s investigation.
She needed to know if he had started to pose a threat to her.
Therefore, she decided to pay Floyd a visit.
That made him quite excited.
Chapter 3428 Traitor
In the past, Floyd was the one who went to visit Gloria.
That was why he was excited when she started visiting him on her own. So this is what having a girlfriend is like.
“Master is not at North Pavilion right now. He’s currently in Yartran!” Floyd, of course, didn’t know what Gloria was scheming and told her that.
Gloria acted worried. “He’s going to Yartran? Won’t he be in danger?”
“I don’t think so. Maybe he might’ve even destroyed Yartran!”
Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed. I’m not sure why he’s there right now. Is he enacting his revenge? Or is he actually there to find out who contacted Yartran? I need to know which it is now! It’ll be bad if he finds out who contacted them. Sure, I was extremely careful, and I did hide the identities of the people I sent, but I’m not sure if that’s enough to cover my tracks. Yartran is pretty powerful, after all. Even if I’m not exposed, what if they found a lead that connects to me?
“That’s fine! I’m visiting you because I want to tell you what’s the current status of the Ecclesiastic Order…” She proceeded to tell him what the order had done so far.
Floyd nodded. “Got it! Right now, what they’re doing hasn’t affected us, so I won’t let Master know about it for the time being. I know what to do!”
After bidding her goodbyes, she left.
“Since Levi’s not here right now, this means North Pavilion is unguarded! It’s the best chance to attack them right now!” She smiled.
What happened next was her letting the Ecclesiastic Order know about the news before she went to do something else.
Upon receiving the news that Levi wasn’t at North Pavillion, the Ecclesiastic Order made their move immediately.
“Quick! We need to wrap this battle up as soon as possible! Take down North Pavillion now!”
As insurance, the Ecclesiastic Order swiftly sent out elites to assault North Pavilion to take them down quickly.
Thousands of elites promptly arrived in front of the North Pavilion.
“Attack!” The elites charged forward.
The few hundred elites at the front looked excited because they thought North Pavillion was screwed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They didn’t expect to be blown into bloody mist the moment they got close to North Pavilion.
It scared the thousands of elites behind and stopped their advance.
Levi’s voice rang out. “You lot think you can cause a mess here just because I was gone? Foolishness! Now, die!”
The crowd was terrified. “Run! He’s back!”
In an instant, thousands of elites from the Ecclesiastic Order escaped as quickly as possible.
They disappeared in an instant.
“A bunch of cowards!” Levi shouted. I can’t believe I have to deal with this the moment I come back. Hmm? Wait, this doesn’t make sense! The Ecclesiastic Order definitely only attacked because they knew I was going to Yartran! They wanted to take down North Pavillion before I returned. In that case, who leaked out the news that I went to Yartran?
It must be that hidden mastermind! They must’ve told the Ecclesiastic Order where I was going to, which was why the Ecclesiastic Order attacked! Isn’t this mastermind a little too powerful? There shouldn’t be anyone else but my people who know about this. From what I analyzed last time, I can tell this mastermind knows everything about me and everything related to me.
The fact that they know about my visit to Yartran can only mean one thing — they had planted a spy by my side. How else could they know so much about me? Still, how is it possible? As powerful as they may be, it’s impossible they can know everything about me. Well, it’s next to impossible in this case. Maybe one of my people did it? No way! I know for sure there aren’t any traitors by my side!
Chapter 3429 A Significant Lead
Levi’s eyebrows furrowed. However, who else could’ve known where I am aside from them? No one! It must be one of my people who leaked the news! The only other possibility is that this person is far more powerful than what I can imagine, though it’s unlikely. However unlikely it is, I can’t rule out that probability. This mastermind is too skilled!
They’re in control of everything! This isn’t something a regular person could pull off. Still, this mastermind has revealed a lead to themselves this time. They thought they could use my absence as an opportunity to destroy North Pavilion, but they didn’t know I returned earlier than planned. Not only did they fail to destroy North Pavilion, but they also exposed themselves.
“I will find out who you are! I’m grateful that you’ve given me such a significant lead to follow! Hahaha…” He laughed. This was certainly a pleasant surprise. I came to North Pavillion because I wanted to investigate the identities of the six Ecclesiastic Order members who contacted Yartran and I got even better information out of it. In any case, since those six were part of the order and belonged to the Five Pavilions, it’s only natural that I let North Pavilion investigate them. I’m pretty sure none of them belonged to North Pavilion, otherwise the mastermind wouldn’t have launched the surprise attack.
“I want you all to investigate who these people are immediately! Also, find out who they had been talking to recently! Once you got the results, send them to me directly in secret!” Levi ordered.
North Pavilion had their own intel department, so obviously they were familiar with the Ecclesiastic Order.
Furthermore, Levi also told his own people to investigate the six suspects to cover a larger ground.
“I think I’ll get my answer as to who leaked my location after I do some questioning.” Once Levi took care of his matters at North Pavilion, he returned to his base.
Hundreds of elites from the Ecclesiastic Order were dead because of the ambush. Therefore, they probably wouldn’t launch another attack soon.
The thousands of elites who escaped headed back to the Ecclesiastic Order.
“The news is fake! The moment we arrived, Levi was there! A couple hundred of us are dead!” they reported.
The Ecclesiastic Order was shocked. Fake news? But we got news Levi left to Yartran! How could it be fake news?
The news soon traveled into the ears of the Holy Guild and a bunch of elders.
“What’s there to debate about? I think the news was real, but Levi just so happened to return at that moment,” one elder suggested.
“Agreed!” The others nodded.
It was then Solocus exclaimed, “Something isn’t right here!”
“What’s wrong? Is Master Solocus’ intel fake?” the elders asked.
He shook his head. “No, the news is probably real, but Levi just so happened to return when the assault happened!”
His eyebrows furrowed. “How did our people know when Levi left for Yartran? Logically, his whereabouts should be top secret information. After all, none of our men could find anything, even though they had orders to keep track of him.”
The elders nodded. “That’s right! We sent out people to keep an eye on him, but none of them had the guts to get too close to him! Thus, the only info they can provide us is pretty useless. As for his whereabouts, that should be impossible for them to know!”
Solocus turned toward them. “In that case, how did we know where he went?”
“Eh?” The others were dumbfounded. That’s right! Even though we sent elites to eliminate North Pavilion, no one knows who was the one who spread the news.
“That’s right! Who gave us the intel? Where did it come from? Does anyone know?” the elder of East Pavilion asked.
Everyone shook their head as they realized the problem.
How could no one know where such important intel came from?
It was obvious it didn’t come from the people they sent out, so what was going on?
Chapter 3430 Solocus Noticed Too
“Quick! Go and investigate who’s the first one who told us Levi was going to Yartran!” the elders ordered in a panic.
After their search had concluded, they stumbled across a shocking revelation.
There was no one!
They couldn’t find who was the one that spread the intel.
Even though everyone knew Levi was going to Yartran, no one knew where the news originally came from upon investigating.
It didn’t come from people inside the Ecclesiastic Order for sure.
The news was like a ghost, suddenly appearing in the Ecclesiastic Order with no traces to be found.
It was then everyone realized Solocus was right, and that there was something fishy about it.
He smiled. “It’s as though this intel just suddenly popped into existence, like a ghost! No one knew where it came from! Also, don’t you all think it’s suspicious that there are outrages and messages about resisting Levi every day lately? Something isn’t right here!”
Everyone nodded. “So someone is trying to make us fight Levi?”
Solocus nodded too. “Indeed! I didn’t notice before, but this recent news about Levi heading to Yartran is making me really suspicious about the whole thing. Do you guys remember when four of the Five Pavilions sent Top Ten to kill Levi?”
His reminder led them to realize something. “Are you saying someone was behind that as well, Master Solocus?”
He explained, “I investigated who tried to kill Levi before. There were people from our organization, of course. However, why would Yartran, unnamed forces from Erudia, a bunch of assassin organizations, and the Cetus show up at the same time? Logically, that would make sense. Many people want to kill Levi, so when they heard the news, they came to join the battle. However, the way they were working with each other to fight Levi seemed too cohesive. Even though they’re completely different factions, they fight as though they had done it a hundred times together before…”
His analysis blew everyone’s mind.
All they saw were the defeat of the Ecclesiastic Order’s elites and Top Ten.
Their attention was so focused on taking revenge on Levi that they didn’t notice the details.
It wasn’t until Solocus pointed it out that they realized something was wrong.
“Not only that, there were a lot of poisons, hidden weapons, and traps there! They all worked together to support the elites perfectly! We’ve never heard of that level of cooperation before!” The elders stared at Solocus in bewilderment. “Someone is behind all this!”
Solocus nodded. “Mhm, I knew there was something going on at the start, but I wasn’t sure. The news about Levi’s whereabouts has reminded me of that! It seems like an unknown force is involved in the war aside from the Ecclesiastic Order, Levi, the Cetus, and many more. This unknown force is attempting to use us to get rid of Levi. That’s why there was a plan to kill him! They were making many organizations and factions work together to fight as one!”
No one could’ve imagined the news about Levi’s whereabouts would lead to the Ecclesiastic Order noticing an unknown force was manipulating them.
“Oh yeah! My subordinates did some digging before! They said Levi did let the Top Ten leave with the divine tools! I thought it was ludicrous, but now…” An elder of South Pavilion spoke up.
That introduced a glimmer to Solocus’ eyes. “Then it’s likely Top Ten were killed or captured by this unknown force! That force may have also taken away the divine tools and blamed it on Levi, causing the Ecclesiastic Order to unite!”
