Ch. 1871..1880
The Return of God of War Chapter 1871
Even though those young talents were strong, they stood no chance at all when they were being targeted.
Apart from Josephine and the others, who were “locked up” by Levi, and Forlevia, who were taken away by The Cardinal Hall, all of Erudia’s young talents had been injured severely.
Even the top three of the Stone List were targets of the assassination.
Nevertheless, they were on completely different levels from the other young talents, so they managed to kill all the assassins and fight their way out.
It was not without a price, though. All three of them were severely injured.
“How could you let the top three escape? Don’t you know they’re much stronger than other talents? Why didn’t you send more assassins? What if they expose us?” The leader of the Raysonian forces was infuriated when he learned about the top three’s escape.
“Sir, we’re sorry for our incompetence, but we can still fix this! The top three were separated and have gone missing. We can still find them before they return to their respective forces.”
Hearing that, the leader ordered, “Send our men to hunt them down and kill them before anyone finds them. Also, I need you to spread the news that this is the Seven Fiends’ deed. They were angry about The Cardinal Hall capturing Levi, so they retaliated by targeting all of Erudia’s young talents.”
“Yes, sir!” his subordinates answered.
“We have destroyed Erudia’s foundation and ruined its future! Its authority is now fighting with Fiery Demon’s followers. This has undermined Erudia’s martial arts world. This is our chance! Rasonian Bushido shall rise and conquer the martial arts world!”
The Rasonians were elated to hear that.
The horrific news of hundreds of young talents being incapacitated stirred up a storm in Erudia.
They were the future of Erudia’s martial arts world, and now the future was ruined.
The ancient factions were fuming in anger.
It was heartbreaking to see their disciples lying on the ground with weak vital signs.
“Who did this? We will definitely make them pay!”
The Dragonites and The Cardinal Hall were also knocked sideways by the news.
As the most powerful organization, The Cardinal Hall was responsible for ensuring the martial arts world’s prosperity.
Its main duty was to protect and train the younger generation.
Hence, the news came as a devastating blow to them.
“All the young talents were incapacitated? This could ruin the future of Erudia’s martial arts world! Go and find out who did this!”
Soon, rumors had it that it was the Seven Fiends’ deed. They were angry that Fiery Demon’s heir was captured, so they retaliated by incapacitating all Erudia’s young talents.
No one doubted the truthfulness of the rumor.
After all, apart from Eragon and The Cardinal Hall, only Fiery Demon’s forces had the power to cause such catastrophe.
Never had they suspected that a foreign force was behind this.
Unbeknownst to them, many foreign forces flocked into Erudia when it opened its border during the chaos.
Many elites from the Raysonian forces had infiltrated many parts of Erudia, which explained why they could catch Erudia off guard.
It was clearly premeditated.
“How dare they ruin the future of Erudia’s martial arts world! We must get rid of Fiery Demon’s followers and kill the Seven Fiends!”
All of them were furious.
“What? The Seven Fiends were the ones behind this? How could this be?” Wynona was shocked when she heard about the news, for the Seven Fiends were with them last night since they received Levi’s order.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1872
Besides, Wynona had asked the Seven Fiends before and was told that Levi’s order was for them to stay put. If that was so, how could they attack Erudia’s young talents?
Before this, she had even made an assurance at Gamma Tech that Levi would never do something that would endanger Erudia. Instantly, she realized someone had framed Levi.
On the other hand, Okano was exhilarated when he heard about the news. “Huh! We have succeeded! Long live Raysonia! “
Enraged, Blood Fiend roared, “I’ll kill you!”
“Calm down!” The others quickly halted him.
Later, Wynona discussed with the Seven Fiends to come up with a solution. “We should prove to them that we’re innocent.”
“The evidence we collected so far is still too little to convince them of our innocence. Now that Master Garrison has been caught, it’s even harder for us to clear our names.”
“That’s right. I’m afraid we will become their target.”
None of them noticed that a Ghost Samurai, who initially received the order to kill Okano, had sneaked in and rescued him.
It was all too late when someone finally noticed that Okano was missing. “Where’s Okano? He’s gone!”
Although Wynona had strong power detection ability, she was still inept in exercising it. Otherwise, she would have sensed the energy fluctuation.
“I suppose someone has rescued him. Our location is exposed. We need to move!” urged Sword Fiend.
“All right. Let’s retreat now!”
All of them beat a hasty retreat.
As expected, some elites arrived just after they left the place.
In prison, Levi was worried about what was happening outside.
However, no one responded to his enquiry.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door busted open by a kick.
The next moment, Kaiden and the others stormed in.
“Levi Garrison, look what your subordinates have done!” Gerald bellowed.
“What’s wrong?” Levi asked.
“The Seven Fiends incapacitated all Erudia’s young talents to seek revenge on us for capturing you. Those poor young people can never train martial arts for the rest of their lives. The top three of the Stone List were also severely injured and have gone missing. Your subordinates have ruined the future of Erudia’s martial arts world overnight. Damn all of you followers of the Fiery Demon!”
The others were so infuriated that they wished they could kill Levi.
After hearing their words, Levi’s heart sank.
So this is the Raysonian’s second plan… They could carry out their plan without interference by directing people’s anger and attraction toward me. They intended to ruin Erudia’s martial arts world’s future! How despicable!
“I’ve told you guys before. This is Raysonian’s conspiracy! This is their second plan…” Levi looked up and stared at them with his bloodshot eyes.
Feeling disappointed, he lambasted, “I thought that the leaders of The Cardinal Hall are all smart people. Now, it turns out they are nothing but a bunch of fools.”
“Levi Garrison, how dare you humiliate The Cardinal Hall!” All of them took offense at Levi’s insult.
“I’m innocent! Someone is trying to sow discord between us. Why wouldn’t you guys believe in me? You idi*ts!” Levi blew up at them.
“Hmph! Let me remind you that you’re chained up by the Dragon Chain. There’s no way you can break free, so you’ll be stuck here for the rest of your life. You won’t ever get to meet your family again!” With that, they left in a huff.
A malicious smile appeared on Levi’s face. “Finally, you told me of your ultimate intention.”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1873
Actually, Levi had already guessed that they were locking him in prison to elicit information from him.
Still, he was clinging to the hope that they would let him meet his mother and his child.
In hindsight, he was wrong.
I can’t listen to them anymore! I need to fight back! Dragon Chain, huh? Let me try and see if I can break it!
With all his might, he tried to break the Dragon Chain.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
To his surprise, the chain merely vibrated with a clang.
Not even a crack appeared on it.
Instead, the parts of the chain that pierced through his body tightened.
As a result, his bones were suppressed, and his body was a bloody mess as the chains ground his flesh.
Levi’s expression changed. The Dragon Chain sure is strong.
“Oh, Levi, you’re just wasting your energy. No one has ever opened the Dragon Chain. Once it’s locked, it won’t reopen until the day you die. The more you struggle, the tighter it’ll become. In the end, it can even break your bones.”
Kaiden and the others halted their steps and began to hoot with laughter when they saw Levi trying to break the Dragon Chain. They knew he could never break it.
“Take your time. I love to see you struggle in vain,” Gerald taunted.
After a few futile attempts, the Dragon Chain became tighter and tighter.
A puddle of blood rapidly formed on the floor as blood continued gushing out of Levi’s wounds.
Despite that, he did not even let out a cry of pain.
This won’t work. I need to calm down. Soon, he stopped struggling. His brain was running at high speed, trying to figure a way out.
My family and subordinates are still waiting for me. I can’t be stuck in here.
Seeing that Levi had stopped struggling, Kaiden and the others smiled sarcastically. “There’s no use of you struggling. No one has ever escaped this prison before.”
With that, they left the prison.
No one stayed to guard Levi since the latter could not escape anyway.
Even if someone were to rescue him, there was no way they could open the Dragon Chain.
Levi was as good as dead.
Meanwhile, the top three of the Stone List were stuck in the depth of mountains, being hunted down by the Raysonians.
In the face of the Raysonians’ attacks, they were forced to jump off the cliff. No one knew if they were still alive.
The Raysonians conducted a search but failed to find them. Eventually, they left the mountain.
After all, if they could not find the top three, no one could either.
Their chances of survival was slim no doubt.
Even if they survived the fall, they would at least be severely injured. Their deaths were certain if they could not get treatment in time.
Hence, the Raysonians were satisfied with the damage they caused, for they had completely ruined most, if not all of Erudia’s young talents.
The Cardinal Hall, too, had searched in vain for the top three.
It was a devastating blow to Erudia’s martial arts world, especially the younger generations.
The young talents, especially the top three, were the future of the martial arts world. The factions had invested much money and effort in them.
Even though they had more than enough resources to cultivate more talents in the future, it would take them decades to find the potential talents.
They could not afford to wait that long.
“It’s all Levi’s and the Seven Fiends’ fault! If it weren’t because of them, we wouldn’t lose all the young talents.”
“I suggest that The Cardinal Hall sentence Levi to death! This will be a great deterrent to the followers of Fiery Demon.”
“The Seven Fiends shall die as well!”
On the other hand, Wynona and the others had moved to a safe place.
“Zoey, what’s wrong?” asked Wynona when she noticed Zoey’s solemn expression.
“I just heard my enemy’s name.” Zoey’s eyes were full of murderous intent.
“Who’s your enemy?”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1874
“Levi Garrison!” Zoey exclaimed through gritted teeth, with vibes so chilling that they stunned everyone.
Isn’t Levi her husband?
How did he become her enemy instead?
The Seven Fiends were feeling perplexed.
“That’s not it. Ms. Lopez, Levi is your…”
Just when they started to speak, they were interrupted by Wynona.
“Do you still remember Levi?” Wynona tried to probe further, trying her luck.
“I remember that he’s my enemy! I am gonna kill him if I see him!” Zoey said, her eyes burning with fury.
“I heard that he has already been captured and will be executed soon! That’s fantastic!” Zoey was overjoyed when she heard the news.
After observing Zoey for some time and hearing what she said earlier on, Wynona had already figured out what was going on.
Jared’s consciousness must have attacked Zoey’s mind and infiltrated her consciousness, resulting in Zoey’s memory loss.
It had to be Jared’s consciousness at play for her to think that Levi was actually her arch-enemy as Levi was actually that man’s enemy.
Well, this is a tough situation!
Wynona was at a loss as to what to do.
The situation had been made even more challenging due to the fact that Zoey had gained new superpowers.
Meanwhile, at The Cardinal Hall, the council members were fuming and the leader of The Inferno was kneeling on the ground.
Everyone was in disbelief that even with the combined forces of The Cardinal Hall and Eragon, that had still happened.
Obviously, they were upset about it.
“The elites of Erudia have all been incapacitated. Trenton, Josephine and the rest have also landed in the hands of the Fiends, and that’s as good as being incapacitated too. It seems like Evie is our only hope!”
“Relay my orders that from now onward, no one is allowed to make plans on Evie and Mia! The Cardinal Hall will be focusing all our resources on grooming them. The future of Erudia’s martial arts world will depend on the two of them! Without our permission, no one is allowed to do anything to them! Also, we should try to save as many incapacitated elites as we can!”
That decision made by the council members of The Cardinal Hall had shattered The Inferno’s plan.
They were intending to use Forlevia to threaten Levi, in order to get him to divulge Cyrus’ secrets.
Their troubles would be resolved if Levi knew the secret.
Meanwhile, Levi had spent a long time thinking of reasons why the Dragon Chain could not be unlocked.
He concluded that there were two main reasons.
The first reason was related to the Dragon Chain’s structure. The nine chains were complementary to one another with a special mechanism designed. If any movement was detected on one of the chains, the other chains would be able to sense the motion and activate the mechanism, tightening the Dragon Chain.
The second reason was that, the material used to create the Dragon Chain was the extremely rare iron meteorite. Combined with the skills of the master of magical techniques, the Dragon Chain was practically indestructible! It was simply impossible to unlock it!
That was also the reason they were so confident to leave Levi alone, without anyone keeping watch on him.
They were certain that the man would not be able to escape.
Levi took a deep breath and muttered to himself, “Mentor, judging by the current situation, it seems like I’ve no choice but to use the Forbidden Technique!”
However, Levi’s mentor did not actually impart the skill to him.
It was recorded in the ancient manual instead.
Even though Levi was warned not to use the technique, he had no other choice but to use it during such a crucial moment.
Even though Levi was unable to unlock the Dragon Chain just by his powers alone, the Forbidden Technique should help him with that!
As such, the man was determined to try. After all, it was a matter of life and death.
“I don’t believe that nothing can break open this Dragon Chain!”
Meanwhile, a piece of shocking news had erupted outside.
Robed Slayer, who was second on the Gem list, had appeared and released a statement, announcing that it wasn’t him who defeated Levi. In fact, he had never even met the man.
Everyone was shocked by the news.
If it wasn’t the Robed Slayer who had defeated Levi, who could it be then?
The Return of God of War Chapter 1875
Everyone was perplexed and curious to know who it was who managed to defeat Levi.
It wasn’t anyone from The Cardinal Hall or Eragon, Xenotoph was still in seclusion, and Hendrix, the Southern Emperor who was also the first on the Gem List, had already been missing for several years.
If that was the case, there didn’t seem to be anyone else who would be Levi’s match.
Who was it then, who had managed such a feat?
Not only was everyone in Erudia bewildered, the news had also stunned the forces in Raysonia, as they wondered who it could be if it wasn’t the Robed Slayer who had defeated Levi.
They were curious to know if it was someone from within or outside of Erudia, and if that person was a friend or foe to them.
A moment ago, the Raysonian forces were still rejoicing over the damage which they had caused to the Erudia martial arts world.
As such, the sudden news came as a shock.
Just then, Bruce, from Zarain, had also gotten in touch with them.
“Well done, guys! That wasn’t even something we could have achieved!”
The chieftain of the Raysonian forces replied with a smile, “How can we be compared to you, Mr. Johnston! We can only use backhand methods, catching our enemies unaware. However, you launched an open and direct attack on them!”
“Haha! But we failed and you guys succeeded! I think we should cooperate more in the future. We have benefited a lot from your operation, allowing us to complete our mission in Erudia!”
“Cooperation? Sure! We’ll be more than willing to do that!”
“It’s set then, here’s to our cooperation! We’ll let you in on a piece of news as well. It was actually Levi’s wife who defeated him! She…”
Bruce told the Raysonian forces everything.
“Oh, so that’s how it is!”
“I think we can continue making use of his wife! Since she was able to defeat Levi, if we make the right moves, I’m sure she’ll be able to cause further damage to Erudia!”
“Sounds great! I’m looking forward to our next cooperation! Let’s aim to achieve something big!”
……
The upcoming cooperation between the two unscrupulous organizations would no doubt pose a threat to any country or party!
Everyone was sure that the enemy forces would take further action after causing unrest in Erudia’s martial arts world.
Currently, the whole of Erudia was wondering who Levi had lost to!
Meanwhile, Levi, who was still stuck in prison, finally used the Forbidden Technique.
The man was indeed extremely talented in martial arts.
Besides the fact that Levi had been warned not to use the technique, it was also stated in the manual that it was a skill that was extremely hard to master!
Even those with unmatched talents might not be able to learn it properly.
However, Levi had managed to acquire the skill.
“Forbidden Technique!” Levi uttered in a low voice.
Hiss, Hiss, Hiss…
Suddenly, terrifying energy exuded from the man. Seconds later, the energy transformed into black flames, burning strongly.
The Dragon Chain was shrouded by the flames, and almost ten minutes later, a horrifying scene appeared.
Crack! Crack!
The Dragon Chain had been broken!
The special mechanism which was incorporated into the design of the Dragon Chain did not work at all!
That was because the nine chains were broken at the same time, as such, the mechanism was not activated.
Crack!
Levi freed himself after the last chain broke.
Boom!
The man exerted a strong force that sent the remaining parts of the Dragon Chain flying.
“That’s it? When they said no one would be able to unlock the Dragon Chain, it’s because they haven’t met me yet!”
As no one was watching him, Levi left after.
After The Cardinal Hall knew that it wasn’t Robed Slayer who defeated Levi, Kaiden was immediately sent to find out from Levi who it was who managed to beat him.
“Hmm? Something doesn’t seem right!”
After reaching the prison, the people sensed that something was off and dashed inside immediately.
When they saw that the cell was empty, everyone was dumbfounded.
What’s going on?
Why is it empty?
Where’s Levi?
Trenton and the rest ran forward and were stunned when they saw the Dragon Chain, which was broken.
This can’t be!
“How did Levi manage to break open the Dragon Chain? Has he really escaped? Oh my God!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1876
Thud!
Kaiden slumped onto the floor as he stared at the empty cell in disbelief, feeling terrified!
In fact, everyone could not believe what was happening and their eyeballs were nearly popping out of their sockets.
How could the Dragon Chain be broken?
How is that even possible!
In the whole of The Cardinal Hall’s history, no one had been able to break free from the Dragon Chain, no matter how formidable they were.
It was simply impossible to do so!
There were no exceptions!
However, Levi had managed to break the Dragon Chain, which was frightening!
After examining the rupture points of the Dragon Chain, Gerald muttered, “The chain was broken by a combination of flames and a tremendous force! This is too crazy! Who on earth would have that kind of force? It’s impossible!”
Zelda shook her head helplessly, saying, “Well, we have no choice but to believe it! The Dragon Chain is indeed broken, and Levi has indeed escaped!”
“Is it really Levi’s own powers? I don’t believe it! Someone must have come to rescue him!”
Trenton and the rest merely stared in disbelief.
“Someone saved him? Who could be so powerful to be able to break the Dragon Chain?”
“We should quickly inform the rest!”
“Levi has escaped!”
“Levi has escaped!”
Chaos ensued after news that Levi had escaped broke out.
When The Cardinal Hall and Eragon heard about it, everyone was shocked.
They could not believe that the Dragon Chain was broken! That was as good as an insult to The Cardinal Hall’s dignity.
No one had ever to pull off such a feat!
Their minds were in complete shambles as they did not expect that the Dragon Chain would one day be broken!
The level of shock that they were dealt with was just like telling them that the Earth was not round, but flat!
Even though it was already a fact, everyone refused to believe that it had indeed happened!
Just how is it possible that the Dragon Chain is broken?
That’s completely absurd!
Meanwhile, in the villa, Kaiden and the rest were in extremely low spirits.
“This is bad! Now that Levi has escaped, and the council members are focusing all their efforts to groom Evie and Mia, we don’t have any bargaining chips to threaten Levi! What should we do now?”
“Our leader has suggested to hold Evie hostage to threaten Levi to return. However, not only did the council members reject his proposal, he was even punished! Everyone has been warned not to lay our hands on the children, and anyone who goes against the order will be executed!”
“Oh, that means we are in deep trouble! It’s a double blow!”
The few of them continued to discuss.
Unbeknownst to them, Levi had not left yet, but was hiding within the compounds of the villa.
After the man heard the conversation between them, he heaved a silent sigh of relief.
Thank God!
Those geniuses with great potential had all been incapacitated by the Raysonian forces.
Besides, Forlevia’s talent was unparalleled. As such, Levi was sure that no one would dare to lay a finger on his daughter. Not only that but she would also be worshiped like a treasure by The Cardinal Hall.
Knowing that, there was nothing else Levi had to worry about.
Since the Raysonian forces had already succeeded in their second plan, there was nothing Levi could do to salvage the situation.
Hence, his priority was to find Zoey and the rest.
As Levi had special means to contact the Seven Fiends, he managed to get hold of them quickly after leaving the villa and headed over to their location straight away.
Suddenly, a piece of shocking news was circulating around.
Levi, the Big Demon’s heir, had escaped from The Cardinal Hall and was nowhere to be found!
Everyone had barely gotten over the shocking statement made by Robed Slayer a while back.
As such, they were stunned beyond words when they heard the second piece of explosive news within such a short time.
“What? Levi has escaped from The Cardinal Hall? Is his power really that terrifying already?”
“If The Cardinal Hall cannot subdue him, there’s probably no one else who can!”
“That’s not true. There was someone who managed to defeat the man previously. Whoever that person is, please get them to help one more time!”
Meanwhile, the Raysonian forces and Bruce were engaged in a joyful discussion regarding their next steps when they received the news.
“What? Levi escaped?” Bruce exclaimed as his eyes widened in shock.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1877
The Raysonian forces were shocked as well.
That did not make sense at all!
They had thought that their greatest enemy had been eliminated, but it turned out that he had escaped.
How is that even possible?
Not only was The Cardinal Hall the most influential martial arts organization in Erudia, they had even used the Dragon Chain to restrain Levi.
How is it possible that he has managed to escape?
That was definitely bad news to them!
It might even be disastrous for them!
“How did that even happen? With Levi’s abilities, there was no way he could have broken free from the Dragon Chain!”
“What’s going on? Could there be someone helping him?”
Bruce and the Raysonian forces fell into deep thought.
After pondering for a while, Bruce said, “The first thing Levi’s gonna do is to find Zoey! We can make use of that to our advantage, but we have to act fast!”
“Sure, understood!”
After the news had gotten out, The Cardinal Hall’s reputation was totally shattered and was slandered by the entire world!
The Cardinal Hall, which was revered, had turned into a laughing stock!
That was even more so for the legendary Dragon Chain, which was supposed to be impossible to unlock or break.
On the other hand, the Fiends were overjoyed that even The Cardinal Hall was not able to restrain Levi.
It seemed like the future was looking good for them.
Trenton and the rest were looking gloomy as they grumbled about The Cardinal Hall.
However, when Josephine and Yasmin heard the news, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief instead, feeling glad that Levi was safe.
Even they themselves had not realized that they were so concerned about the man.
After Levi escaped, The Cardinal Hall was at a loss, not knowing what do to.
They were unable to come up with a plan to deal with it.
It was pure luck that they had managed to capture Levi the previous time.
But what about this time?
They did not even know where the man was.
How were they supposed to capture him when they did not have a single clue on his whereabouts?
The last resort for The Cardinal Hall and Eragon was to use their trump card, but doing that would mean letting the foreign forces get their way.
With the whole world watching them, they did not dare to reveal their trump card.
Most importantly, they did not know who it was who had defeated Levi!
As such, everyone had their hopes placed on Robed Slayer.
Meanwhile, Levi sprinted all the way and finally met up with the Seven Fiends in a villa in the suburbs of Oakland City.
“Master Garrison, you’re injured! How are you feeling?” The Seven Fiends asked worriedly after seeing Levi, who was covered in blood.
Levi dismissed their concerns with a wave and replied, “I’m OK, it’s just a small wound. I hurt myself while trying to break free from the Dragon Chain!”
“Master Garrison, you’re a rare talent indeed! Three of the Old Master’s friends, who have also been trapped by the Dragon Chain, have not been seen since. No one knows if they are alive or dead!”
“Yup, Old Master was the last person who said that the Dragon Chain does not work on him! Master Garrison, you’re his successor indeed!”
The Seven Fiends could not stop lavishing praises on Levi, who was anxious to find Zoey.
“Master Garrison, Ms. Zoey is inside! We’ll show you the way!”
The Seven Fiends quickly led the way.
“Master Garrison, she’s right there!”
Everyone was reunited once again at the villa.
When Levi and Zoey saw each other, both of them were momentarily stunned.
There was nothing Wynona could do to stop the meeting from happening as it was simply too late.
The meeting between the two was unavoidable.
“Zoey, are you alright now?”
Levi was overjoyed when he saw that Zoey appeared to be normal.
However, Zoey was rooted to the spot and had not seemed to recover from her shock.
Right after Levi spoke, Zoey’s murderous instincts were activated.
A terrifying aura that had erupted from the woman shrouded the entire villa instantly.
The Seven Fiends could feel their hearts racing!
Cyrus, their Old Master, was the only person they knew with such a terrifying murderous aura.
Zoey’s eyes had also become bloodshot, looking like she was ready to kill.
“Levi, you must die!” Zoey bellowed.
“Run! She doesn’t recognize you anymore! She sees you as her enemy now!” Wynona yelled immediately.
However, it was too late.
Zoey had already made her move, striking Levi, not allowing him any chance of escape.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1878
As such, Levi had no choice but to defend himself!
Bam!
Zoey’s punch was so powerful that it caused a deep crack on the ground, splitting the villa into two.
The Seven Fiends were startled by her energy.
Is it necessary to go to this extent?
They could hardly believe that the gentle and virtuous woman could be so violent!
“I haven’t told you guys yet. She was actually the one who defeated your master!” Wynona said, standing at one side.
The crowd gasped in shock when they heard that.
No wonder Robed Slayer had clarified that it wasn’t him who did it.
So it’s actually her!
“It could be that your master had let her win on purpose, but it’s likely that both of them were equally matched!”
The Seven Fiends were shocked after hearing what Wynona said, feeling terrified.
Zoey’s attacks were direct and powerful, with every single move enough to cause massive destruction.
Even Levi noticed that Zoey’s powers had increased from the previous time they fought.
What’s going on?
“Let’s all help to keep Zoey under control first,” Wynona shouted as she joined in the battle.
During that period, Wynona had grown better at exercising her powers and was almost able to realize the full potential of it.
After the Seven Fiends joined in as well, Zoey’s attacks were immediately faced with resistance.
Like a demon who had gone berserk, Zoey bellowed, “He’s my enemy! Why are you guys stopping me? Get out of my way!”
Bam!
Zoey sent Blood Fiend flying with one punch.
Bam!
Then, she sent another punch towards Ghost Fiend.
Even though Wynona also suffered from the same fate as the Fiends, she had only staggered a few hundred meters back and had remained standing.
“Guys, please hang on for just a little longer! I’ll figure out a way to subdue her!”
Levi could not bear to use the Forbidden Technique on Zoey.
He was worried that he might injure her by using that, or even worse, kill her.
As such, the man planned to see if there was anything else written in the ancient manual that he could use to keep Zoey under control.
Even though chances were slim, it was still worth a shot.
Levi started flipping through the ancient manual at once.
Meanwhile, the Seven Fiends and Wynona were trying their best to restrain Zoey, but the woman was just too scary.
Her fury seemed fuel her powers, which were getting stronger by the second!
As such, the Seven Fiends and Wynona did not dare to attack Zoey, but were merely trying to stop her attacks.
Soon, most of them were inflicted with injuries.
They were simply no match for Zoey!
Even Wynona had been sent flying again and again.
It seemed like the group was not going to last long against the woman.
As everyone was concentrated on the battle, no one had noticed a figure hiding in a dimly lit corner.
It was none other than Ghost Samurai, who was sent by the Raysonian forces!
He had been searching for Levi and the rest and noticed the sounds of fighting.
As such, he concealed himself in a corner while secretly observing the situation.
As Levi was focused on finding a solution in the ancient manual, he did not discover Ghost Samurai, but could sense energy fluctuations nearby.
“Hmm? It seems like there’s someone else around?”
However, Levi did not have time for anything else as his priority was to subdue Zoey.
Hence, he continued flipping through the ancient manual.
Finally, he found an ancient medical skill, a needling technique, that could be used to control a person by inserting a needle into one’s acupoints.
It was a cruel needling technique used by wicked forces to take control of others, manipulating them just like puppets to achieve unscrupulous goals.
However, as Levi’s priority was to keep Zoey under control, that was exactly what he needed right then.
“Venom, pass me a set of needles!”
Even though Venom Fiend specialized in the use of poison, he could also be considered a healer.
As such, he had always carried needles with him.
After getting the needles from Venom Fiend, Levi moved as quickly as lightning and appeared in front of Zoey, inserting a needle into her acupoint.
Swish!
He inserted another needle into a second acupoint.
Seconds later, he had already managed to insert seven needles into her various acupoints.
He just needed to insert two more needles to be able to control Zoey.
However, at such a crucial moment, Ghost Samurai, who did not want Zoey to be subdued, suddenly appeared.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1879
The orders given to him from his chieftain was to fire up Zoey as much as possible, in order for her to create more trouble.
If that was the case, how could the man let such a good opportunity slip?
As such, Ghost Samurai had no choice but to make a move before Levi managed to subdue Zoey.
Boom!
Suddenly, a black figure appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, behind Levi, just like a phantom.
Even Ghost Fiend, who was specialized in the Phantom Skill, was shocked.
“How did he do that?”
Ghost Samurai launched an attack on Levi right away, attempting to ruin his plan.
“I’ve been waiting for you to show yourself!” A voice boomed.
It turned out that Levi had been waiting for whoever was hiding in the shadows to take action.
Although it seemed as if he was focusing on inserting needles into Zoey’s acupoints, he was also keeping a lookout for the person in the shadows at the same time.
Indeed, the man had really shown up!
Levi suddenly swung an extremely powerful punch towards Ghost Samurai at an unbelievable angle. In fact, the punch was so forceful that a whirlpool was formed in mid-air.
Boom!
Instantly, the black figured shattered into pieces.
“Hmm? Seems like that’s just a clone,” Levi said in surprise.
Ghost Fiend had also realized that something was amiss.
The black figure was merely a clone of Ghost Samurai, and not the man himself.
Just like Levi’s Shadow Clone, the Ghost Samurai’s clone also moved at lightning speed, making it hard to tell that it was a clone.
It was apparent that Ghost Samurai possessed the skill to clone himself as well.
After being discovered, the Ghost Samurai ran away immediately.
He did not expect Levi to be on his guard and knew that he had to leave right away after his attack had failed.
With Levi and the other elite fighters around, he did not stand a chance of winning at all.
“At least you’re smart enough to know when to withdraw!” Levi said coldly while the others helped to deal with Zoey.
Swish!
Swish!
After Levi inserted the final two needles into Zoey’s acupoints, the woman quietened down immediately and was entirely under Levi’s control.
If the man wished to, he could manipulate her like a puppet, but obviously, he would never do that.
The only reason Levi had used that needling technique on Zoey was so that he could calm her down.
In her present state, Zoey was simply too powerful, and she was not able to control her own consciousness. As such, the only way to subdue her was to use alternative methods as ordinary ways would not work on her.
They had to leave right away.
After Levi led the rest to a new place and helped Zoey settle in, he headed outside with Wynona.
Finally, he had time to find out what had happened.
After listening attentively to Wynona’s explanation, Levi finally understood the situation.
“So it means that Zoey is still Zoey, but her consciousness has been infiltrated by Jared’s consciousness, and that’s why she’s seeing me as her enemy? It can also be described as having dual personalities, one being Zoey herself, and the other one would be the Zoey who thinks I’m her enemy!” Levi tried to put the situation in his own words.
“That’s right! It’s quite a rare occurrence and no one had expected that to happen! Most importantly, because of this, Zoey’s potential has been unleashed. I’m sure you can tell by seeing how powerful she is now!”
Wynona sighed helplessly.
“Oh right, how did you guys manage to survive? That blast was so powerful that even I was unable to withstand it. It didn’t even seem possible for anyone to remain in one piece from that, not to mention gaining superpowers from it!” Levi expressed his doubts.
“Yup, you’re right! By right, we wouldn’t have been able to survive the blast. We were actually saved by someone!”
“What? Someone saved you? Who’s that person?”
Levi was shocked that under such circumstances, that person was still able to rescue others.
He must be an angel!
Even Levi himself would have a hard time saving himself in that explosion, much less saving others!
How formidable must that person be in order to save others under that kind of circumstances?
“Who was it who saved you guys?”
After Wynona described the old man’s appearance, Levi was shocked.
“F*ck!”
“Oh my God!”
Levi’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Isn’t that my mentor?
How could I not have thought of that!
After all, who else, other than him, could have managed that feat?
Levi had always wondered how powerful his mentor actually was.
Is he still human even?
The Return of God of War Chapter 1880
In the past, Levi was dismissive of the mysterious old man. However, his thoughts had taken a new turn.
He is very powerful!
“Do you know him?” Wynona couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“He is my master,” Levi replied.
“You master? Is he the famed Cyrus?” The Fiery Demon was the first person to appear in Wynona’s mind.
Yet, Levi shook his head. “I don’t think he is Cyrus. In fact, I suspect that he might be even stronger than Cyrus.”
According to Levi’s observations, along with feedback from The Cardinal Hall and Seven Fiends, Cyrus’ power should be similar to his.
It would be difficult to determine the winner if they engaged in a battle.
Hence, Levi concluded that Cyrus was not his master.
“Still, this is an advantageous situation! Thankfully, Jared has been dealt with. If not, he’d be a huge problem. Additionally, you have gained a superpower!” Wynona replied.
Levi merely smiled in response.
“Zoey’s condition is much more worrisome. Not only did she lose all memories of you, she even views you as her sworn enemy. Once she catches sight of you, she transforms into a killing machine! Despite running several checks with modern equipment, she did not display any odd symptoms. Even with the current technology, doctors cannot cure her.” Wynona sighed helplessly.
“However, not all hope is lost. You can try visiting the famed doctor of Erudia. With their traditional techniques, you might be able to cure Zoey! Besides, you can also attempt to gradually reconnect with Zoey by letting her know that you aren’t her enemy but her beloved husband. This way, she might learn to accept you again. Yet, this idea isn’t very realistic. It would take a long time for her to trust you again. For the time being, you shouldn’t meet Zoey, or problems might arise if you do. Let us brainstorm for an idea to understand Zoey’s condition in further detail before making any moves,” Wynona said showing her support for Levi.
“You are right. Avoiding her is the only thing I can do right now.”
Once the Ghost Samurai returned, he reported the news to the chieftain.
When they first caught wind of the news, Bruce and the chieftain were in the midst of a video conference
“Levi can control such a powerful person like Zoey?” Bruce exclaimed in utter shock. “But based on my deductions, Zoey now sees Levi as her sworn enemy. If only we could capitalize on this situation…”
“Leave it to us. We are particularly skilled when it comes to matters like this.” The chieftain of Raysonia smiled in response.
After the conference ended, Bruce remained in his seat as he stared off into the distance. Repeatedly, he drummed his fingers on the table.
All of a sudden, a subordinate burst into the room, “Mr. Johnston, we have good news!” he cried out excitedly.
“What’s the matter?”
“We’ve managed to restore Mr. Schmidt’s technique to convert the human body into pure energy. Now, we can proceed with the experiments. Once the experiments are successful, we can produce this energy in batches. By then, we can produce pure energy humans like Jared,” the subordinate explained enthusiastically.
The news caused Bruce to grin from ear to ear.
When Bruce returned from Erudia, he had taken all the technical drafts that Jared left behind in an attempt to recreate Jared’s experiment of producing pure energy.
This way, they could continuously produce humans made of pure energy like Jared.
It would also solidify Zarain’s position as the most powerful country at the top of the world.
After all, no one could hope to challenge them anymore.
Jared had reached new heights of power after he converted his body into pure energy. Even the combined forces of the three Big Demons could not stop him.
He was immune to bombs and poison. Furthermore, pure energy humans would never run out of stamina. In short, they were immortal.
This is simply horrifying!
A chill ran down Bruce’s spine at the thought of wielding such immense power.
“Excellent! Proceed with the experiment right away. Let me know if you need anything. Make sure you place this experiment as the number one priority. We will support you no matter what!” Bruce instructed.
A dark look crossed Bruce’s face. With this lab behind my back, I’m one step closer to being the world’s strongest overlord!
Levi, who had just finished his conversation with Wynona, also assigned tasks to the Seven Fiends.
Not long later, the Seven Fiends received bad news.
Their subordinates had been hit by a heavy attack that left countless men with severe injuries.
“Let’s go! I’ll follow you there to check on the situation!” Levi urged immediately.
