Ch. 1901..1910
The Return of God of War Chapter 1901
Everyone was delighted to spectate this battle.
It did not matter who won or lost.
Although they were curious why Zoey had become like that, they still wished for both of them to battle it out.
Zoey’s fury and power were off the charts!
Levi was also mustering all his strength to fight her.
Their battle was so fierce and intense that it was even more interesting than the previous one.
Levi felt anxious too.
Zoey’s power is increasing. If she can’t land any blows and injure me, she becomes even angrier. How can this continue?
Since Zoey was extremely powerful now, it was difficult for him to strike the correct pressure point through acupuncture.
It was impossible to rein her in.
Zoey’s strength increased as the battle continued, forcing Levi to retreat backward.
“What the heck? Zoey is so powerful! Is she the most powerful female warrior in Erudia?”
“How can she possibly be so powerful? She’s stronger than Robed Slayer!”
Zoey’s superb skills convinced everyone of her power.
“What should I do? What should I do now?”
Levi felt so anxious that he broke out into a cold sweat.
Zoey is determined to kill me, but I can’t bear to harm her! Furthermore, she’s like a complete madwoman now, so I might not be able to defeat her.
“Daddy, Mommy, what are you doing?”
At the most critical moment, Zoey and Levi heard a child’s voice.
Both of them froze at the spot, while their intensity and strength during the battle faded instantaneously.
It was as if they were two deflated balloons.
They glanced at the direction of the voice simultaneously.
Evie is here!
Forlevia stood there, gaping at them in horror.
“Evie…”
When Zoey saw Forlevia, she turned from a madwoman to a loving mother.
Tears glistened in her eyes as she forgot all about Levi, her ‘enemy’, standing there.
“Evie, I’ll pick you up later!”
Grabbing that opportunity, Levi immediately fled from the battle scene and disappeared in front of everyone.
“You…”
Zoey reacted quickly and was about to chase after him.
“Don’t go, Mommy…”
Forlevia’s voice caused her to halt in her tracks and glance backward.
Within that short period of time, Levi had already escaped to an unknown destination.
When the Seven Fiends found Levi, he was somewhere near Oakland City.
No one had expected Forlevia’s sudden appearance.
It actually ended the fight of the century!
After Zoey met Forlevia, Wynona invited them to The Cardinal Hall.
Meanwhile, Robed Slayer’s students got him treated.
Only a quarter of Bruce’s plan had succeeded—it was still an overall failure.
Not only have they sustained severe losses, but they had also paid a hefty price for that.
Zoey’s intervention did not change the outcome at all—Levi had still won!
He defeated Robed Slayer, who was even wielding the Divine Sword.
Soon, The Manifest Court published the newly updated Erudia Gem&Stone List.
The Stone List has been temporarily deactivated because of multiple young talented fighters being crippled and the top three warriors disappearing.
However, a drastically significant change had occurred in the Gem List.
Levi had become the top warrior on the Gem List!
As he had defeated Robed Slayer and broken the Divine Sword, he surpassed the Southern Emperor and rose to the top.
Meanwhile, the Southern Emperor became second.
Zoey had just been introduced to the list and was third.
As Robed Slayer had been poisoned, he dropped to fifth place, while Xenotoph took fourth place.
“The Fiery Demon’s heir has topped the Gem List! We’re returning to the Era of Fiends.”
“This is a good thing for us!”
For the tens of thousands of fiends, this was an occasion to call for a celebration.
Levi had done what Cyrus had achieved in the past!
Judging from his current dominance, it would be soon before he conquered the entire world.
However, this was not something good for Levi.
He never cared about these empty titles anyway.
How do I deal with Zoey’s condition now?
“I have to do something first.”
Levi made up his mind.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1902
“What is Master?” The Seven Fiends asked.
Meanwhile, Levi was the first on the Gem List!
Conquering everyone with his strength.
Now, they had changed their address for Levi.
Before that, they only called him Master Garrison because he was the heir of Cyrus. In fact, this had little relation to Levi.
Now that Levi’s abilities were respected by everyone.
He was their real master.
“Heal the Robed Slayer!” Levi said.
Levi had been studying the ancient medical manual that was given by the old man.
His medical skills were definitely at the level of a master！
Hence, he could cure the Robed Slayer’s poison.
Moreover, with Venom Fiend with him, it would be even easier.
Not only that, Levi had a big plan!
“We’re at your command, Master!” everyone said.
Sword Fiend raised a question. “Master, it seems like after Madam saw the child, her mood changes… I think we can start from here…”
Levi was delighted upon hearing Sword Fiend’s reminder.
That’s right! Even though Zoey was furious, but she calmed down after Evie called her “Mommy”. That’s amazing. She can still be saved! There would be a day Zoey and I can reconcile…
“That’s good news!” Levi patted Sword Fiend.
Robed Slayer was brought back to his house.
There were divine doctors among the students, trying their best to treat him.
Delano was panicking and anxious at the side…
He definitely didn’t want Robed Slayer to be alive.
There was already so much damage. If Robed Slayer was saved, he would burst into tears.
“Forget it. Screw it!” Delano’s expression changed and looked toward Robed Slayer with a murderous aura.
He was going to kill Robed Slayer even if it cost his life.
Just when he was about to make his move, a hand was placed on his shoulder.
Delano got a huge shock.
“Is the Robed Slayer here?” Delano turned to the voice. There were two people with a dignified and ethereal demeanor.
They were no other than Levi and Venom Fiend.
Both of them had undergone the disguise technique and had completely changed their demeanor.
“Yes. And you are?” Delano asked.
Levi and Venom Fiend ignored him and entered the house.
“Let Sword Fiend take note on him!” Levi said calmly.
Earlier at the East Warzone, Levi had noticed him.
At the house.
Levi suggested treating Robed Slayer but was rejected by the apprentices.
They didn’t know Levi’s identity after all.
But Levi didn’t care, he used his skill to push away the apprentices and went forward to treat Robed Slayer.
“Oh my gosh! What am I seeing? The long lost Nine Turn Acupuncture method?” The apprentice who had the best medical skills exclaimed suddenly.
He recognized the medical skill performed by Levi!
This is the legendary ancient medical skill!
In a blink of an eye, the poison in Robed Slayer was cleaned with the cooperation of Levi and Venom Fiend.
Robed Slayer had already regained his consciousness, but he had not woken up.
“He’s pretty good at acting!” Levi sneered before leaving.
“What a genius doctor! He’s an ultimate Genius Doctor!” Upon seeing the poison being cleared, the apprentices kneeled on the floor simultaneously and exclaimed.
Genius Doctor, meaning that his medical skill could change fate as if with heaven’s help!
That was more insane than a miracle doctor!
When Delano walked in, he was taken aback when he saw everyone kneeling on the floor.
“What’s happening?”
Upon learning the poison in Robed Slayer had been cleared, he almost fainted.
How is that possible! This poison was impossible to clear! As soon as one exerts any force, one would have his martial vein severely damaged, paralyzed, or even die… It’s impossible to clear! This was a poison developed by an ancient force in Raysonia, targeted specifically for martial art fighters!
But the truth was before him!
Robed Slayer was healed.
Lying on the bed, Robed Slayer opened his eyes suddenly. “It’s him! Huh! Now I owe him a favor!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1903
Robed Slayer’s sharp gaze suddenly glanced toward Delano who was not far from him!
Giving him a meaningful gaze, Robed Slayer sneered, “From now on, do not spread the message that I have recovered to anyone!”
“Yes, sir!” everyone replied in unison.
After they left, Venom Fiend asked, “Master, where are we going now?”
“We’re going to find the geniuses!” Levi smirked.
This was his plan.
He was going to treat every single genius who had been incapacitated by the Raysonia forces!
A simple loss of abilities was easy to cure!
But if the martial vein was destroyed, even the enormous martial arts world could not help.
Just like what happened to Levi before.
And he could only remain that way for a lifetime…
But this was not a difficult task for Levi.
His mentor had reconstructed his martial vein, so he knew the method.
He had to help these geniuses as soon as possible!
The Raysonia forces had spent so much effort in destroying the geniuses in Erudia. This was only a beginning!
There would be more tricks coming!
The next few days, Levi wandered around Erudia.
Today, this genius started to recover and had his martial art skills slowly improved.
The next day, the other genius had his martial vein reconstructed, and everything went well.
After being rescued by Levi, some even had great improvement in their abilities after receiving guidance from him.
……
Levi was racing against time to treat the geniuses of Erudia.
At the same time, he even helped with difficult medical cases and the underprivileged patients, and so on.
After some time…
The title of the Genius Doctor got more famous.
He was even known as the top Miracle doctor in Erudia!
Every force was tracking the traces of the Genius Doctor.
Countless people wanted to go to the Genius Doctor for help!
But there were hearsays about this genius doctor for having a weird temper. He only looked for patients but no one could ever find him.
“It’s a blessing for us to have this Genius Doctor in Erudia!”
The Cardinal Hall couldn’t help but express its opinion.
“This shows that there are many hidden experts in Erudia! Levi will never return to the Era of Fiend!”
“That’s right! Levi hasn’t reached the point where the hidden experts are needed! If he goes too far, the hidden experts will definitely deal with him! I think this Genius Doctor is a martial arts expert!”
…
The Genius Doctor even caught the attention of The Manifest Court.
They were actively investigating his identity.
But after Levi treated these geniuses, he made them go into hiding…
He wanted to drop a grand surprise to shatter the evil plans of the Raysonia forces at once!
Not only that, Levi even arranged for the Sword Fiend to do another important matter.
Zoey had been getting along well with those in The Cardinal Hall.
The Cardinal Hall had accepted Zoey and Wynona into the organization!
There were even specialized mentors to guide both of them on how to use their talents, to maximize their potential.
Evie was pampered by the Cardinal Hall and Eragon!
Rumors had it that Evie’s abilities had reached an unimaginable level!
But the Cardinal Hall had chosen to stay silent!
On the other hand…
Robed Slayer kept the apprentices tight-lipped, but Delano still let everything out.
But Delamo was already targeted by Levi’s people and Robed Slayer.
Levi had even found out about Delano’s true identity.
He was from Raysonia but was sent to Erudia since young as an undercover agent…
In fact, there were plenty of people like him!
Levi had his Team of Secret Warriors find every single one of them.
Besides that, Levi visited some people… and they were willing to follow him.
This would leave a positive influence in the future.
Ever since the last defeat, Bruce and Raysonian forces had another meeting.
“We’re going forward with the plan!” Raysonian forces were about to begin.
Bruce smiled. “Rest assured, the first stage of my experiment was successful. Soon the mass production will begin!”
……
Everything was peaceful for now, but this was the calm before the storm.
An unprecedented storm was about to arrive.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1904
Recently, someone noticed a phenomenon.
Levi’s loftiest position on the Gem List was a blow to The Cardinal Hall.
He could do as he wished, and no one would be able to stop him.
Wasn’t this the perfect timing for him to bring back the Era of Fiends and unleash calamity in Erudia, turning it into hell on earth?
Strangely, the wheels towards that infernal plan weren’t turning.
Levi’s henchmen, the Seven Fiends, didn’t budge; instead, they behaved like any other lawful citizens.
Rumors had it that Blood Fiend stopped using human blood for his cultivation, and Venom Fiend found an alternative to humans for testing his poison.
Not only that, it was said that some of them had even stopped their killing and turned over a new leaf.
They had practically changed overnight!
With their power, they could turn the world upside down, but they did nothing like that! They didn’t even commit a single evil deed.
Why?
What have changed them?
People were scratching their heads and feeling something uncanny about this one hundred-eighty-degree change.
After all, they were Fiends!
Well, most people heard it from the grapevine, and by human nature, they spread it wherever they went.
They believed everything they heard but had they seen the Fiends personally?
No!
Mercifully, there was a handful of clear-minded people who desisted from being flushed into the swirl.
They realized that something was off.
Since Levi became the head of the Fiends, instead of threatening law and order, the things that he did actually made Erudia a better place.
The Seven Fiends and their followers changed completely too.
Soon, news regarding the false accusation on the Seven Fiends incapacitated hundreds of young talents in Erudia came out… It was not them.
The assailants had their identity concealed by wearing masks.
It definitely wasn’t the style of the Seven Fiends.
They’d be more than eager to show off every inch of their features and skin so that the whole world would know that they did it.
Why would they hide behind the curtain?
Of course, that wasn’t the only giveaway. More and more evidence surfaced and cleared their name of all malign undertakings.
“I choose to believe the Crown King. Maybe he’s trying to direct these devilish creatures to become Erudia’s heroes!”
“I think so too! He is trustworthy!”
Levi had been out of the scene for quite some time, and that reinforced the faith in some people.
The Cardinal Hall’s bleak prophecy of a catastrophe remained a prophecy.
The Era of Fiends never came!
While the general public surmised Levi’s intentions, he cured almost all the geniuses of Erudia!
The elite warriors put their noses to the grindstone in regaining their strength and skills the moment their martial vein healed.
On top of that, Levi sent Sword Fiend and his men to look for the missing top three warriors on the Stone list, and they found them!
He then got them back on their feet and helped restore their power.
The majority of Erudia’s elite warriors had fully recovered thus far.
Not only had the warriors recovered, but they’d also successfully upped their strengths under Levi’s guidance. In other words, the warriors were now up a notch! By the time Raysonia could carry out an attack, the Erudia warriors would be all set to lock horns.
No one could’ve foreseen that, especially Raysonia. Their jaws dropped when they saw hundreds of Erudia’s elite warriors marching.
Levi shattered their wretched scheme all alone!
What Levi wanted to do next was related to Delano.
He wanted to know about the strengths and weaknesses of Raysonia and thought surveilling Delano would help. Neither Raysonia nor Delano knew about Levi’s strategy.
One day when Levi and Venom Fiend was on their way home after healing a genius, Levi stopped.
“You’ve been following us all the way, haven’t you? Show yourself.”
Venom Fiend froze in shock, for he failed to notice that they were being followed.
H-How did Levi notice that?
“Hahaha! So this is what the number one on the Gem List is capable of! I’m impressed!”
Five people appeared and stood in front of them.
Who are these people? How did they figure out our real identity?
Venom Fiend was still in shock.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1905
For quite some time, Venom Fiend and Levi had been trotting around Erudia in disguise with the latter as the Genius Doctor, and no one had ever seen through their false identity before!
They were using the disguise technique which Levi acquired from the ancient manual, and for someone to be not get deceived sent shockwaves down their spines.
These people are up to no good!
Venom Fiend kept his eyes affixed to the men across from him.
They were all in black robes and had blood-red masks on.
An upright cross could be seen embroidered on the chest area of their garment.
“The Sacred Organization?” Levi raised his brow and chuckled.
That was the first thing that came into his mind at first glance.
Sword Fiend did mention before that the defectors who managed to escape joined the Sacred Organization and were resolute in seeking revenge.
Their efficiency caught Levi by surprise, though.
“Really?” Venom wanted to make sure.
“Venom, have you forgotten who I am?”
One of the men slowly took off his mask. It was a familiar face.
It was Notos who went abroad with Death Fiend!
“And me, Venom?”
Another man removed his mask.
He is Tempestus! It is the Sacred Organization!
Venom Fiend found it hard to believe that his mates, whom he hadn’t met in ages, were standing right in front of him.
Yet, something was different about them.
They weren’t his swashbuckling comrades under the leadership of Cyrus anymore.
They’d become soulless puppets.
“You… What are you doing here?” asked Venom Fiend, slightly recovered from stupefaction.
Notos perked his lips. “We aren’t here for you. We’re looking for him!”
In a flash, all eyes were on Levi.
“And how may I help you?” Levi nonchalantly responded.
“Congratulations! We’ve been observing you for quite a while and have concluded that you’re qualified to be one of us. We’d like to welcome you to the Sacred Organization!”
“Huh?”
Levi and Venom Fiend looked at each other perplexed.
What the heck? Aren’t they here looking for trouble? What do they mean by “welcome to the organization?”
Venom Fiend’s eyes grew wider and wider. He simply couldn’t fathom this outrageous invitation.
He was about to contact the other fiends for help a second ago.
“The Sacred Organization had been watching you very closely long before your battle with Robed Slayer. Now that you’ve topped the Gem List, you’re qualified to join us. You’re going to be a high-rank official. Who knows, you might be the leader of the organization in the future?” The men were genuine.
They were sincerely hoping to rope Levi into joining them.
However, Levi and Venom Fiend managed to read between the lines.
The number one warrior on the Gem List was like an entry-level fighter in the Sacred Organization. Hmm, if Erudia’s cream of the crop had only just hit the passing mark, how strong actually is the Sacred Organization?
Levi and Venom Fiend were both curious.
Wasn’t it Death who founded the Sacred Organization? He is strong but only as strong as Fiery Demon at the most! I don’t think he’s good enough to scoff at Levi yet.
“Hey, Notos, is it Death who’s at the helm of this organization?”
“Absolutely not! You’ve belittled the Sacred Organization! Death is capable but he’s just one of the Eight Dark Spirits, who were posited somewhere midway along the hierarchy. The real devils are on the top of the pyramid, especially our leader! Everyone calls him the Dark Emperor! He’s way scarier than Cyrus!” explained Notos.
Tempestus nodded in agreement. “Gale is right. We’re just gofers there. The Sacred Organization is way stronger than anyone could’ve imagined, and that explains why Levi is qualified to join us.”
What Notos and Tempestus were implying was that Levi was very strong but he barely made the cut.
No way! That’s how egregiously strong that organization is?
Death is just a stooge?
“So, Levi, are you in?”
The Return of God of War Chapter 1906
Venom Fiend was still wallowing in bewilderment.
From what he’d heard from his old pals, the Sacred Organization possessed far more power than they did.
The Dark Emperor, who was mentioned in their conversation, was definitely a notch higher than Cyrus.
It was hard for him to wrap his head around the fact that someone stronger than Old Master existed!
“So, you are inviting me to join this organization?” Levi cocked his head.
Notos bobbed his head. “Exactly. This is what the Sacred Organization wants. It’s also what the Dark Emperor wants！”
“Hold on a sec. How does joining you guys benefit me? Can I be the boss there?”
The men’s arched eyes instantly flattened.
What is he trying to do? He wants to become the boss? Is he out of his mind?
“As you can see, I used to be the Crown King in Erudia. I suppose I needn’t explain further that the Seven Fiends are now under my command. It doesn’t make sense for me to forgo my current status and be a gofer at your place, does it?”
“Levi, you’re clueless about the Sacred Organization. You should count your blessing for being invited!” The five men were seeing red.
“And you’re telling us you wanna be the boss there? Do you have what it takes? You may be on the top of the Gem List but in the Sacred Organization, you’re nothing.”
“However, if you’ve decided to be part of the organization and remained compliant throughout, someone might come along and guide you, and you’ll be able to cultivate your powers by leaps! You can reach the pinnacle!”
After all the magniloquence, what the five men were trying to convey was simple—the Sacred Organization was much more formidable than what everyone had assumed, and Levi was just good enough.
“I see. You know what? Forget about it. I’d rather be the head of the dog than the tail of a lion. Your offer is highly appreciated, but I’ll pass.”
Then, Levi and Venom Fiend wanted to leave.
“Stay right where you are! Who said you’re allowed to leave?” the five men bawled and stopped them from taking another step.
“What’s this? Are you trying to dictate where we can go?” Venom was irked.
The five of them brushed him off and stared at Levi.
“Whether you like it or not, you’re coming with us!” Tempestus insisted.
“Precisely! We didn’t come here to discuss with you. We came here to inform you that you are joining the Sacred Organization!”
The three men, who still had their masks tightly clung onto their faces, spoke funny Erudian.
Again, Levi chuckled, “What if I said no?”
“Then, don’t blame us on the violence that’s about to fall upon you. You will be brought back to our headquarters!”
The five of them had their target locked and were about to pounce.
Their mission was to bring Levi back by hook or by crook. They may forcibly drag him back if needed.
“Hmph! You five won’t be able to do the job.” Levi sneered.
“Are you sure? We don’t give a d*mn about anyone on the Gem List!”
One of them looked at Levi with contempt.
The five men were members of the Eighteen Dark Angels in the Sacred Organization and possessed Herculean talent and battle strength!
To Venom Fiend, Notos and Tempestus would be of the same level as the Seven Fiends.
How strong can they be?
Little did he know that since Death Fiend joined the Sacred Organization, the Dark Emperor bequeathed them undefeatable talents using a special cultivating technique.
They were now twice as strong as they used to be.
In other words, they’d become a level higher than the Seven Fiends, which led to the Sacred Organization’s confidence in their capability to bring Levi back to the headquarters.
Boom!
The five men unleashed their power.
T-That strong? Notos and Tempestus have already risen to such heights?
Venom Fiend
was dumbfounded.
What he didn’t know was the other three were even more fiendish! He’d go nuts if he knew that his former comrades were now the weakest among the Eighteen Dark Angels.
“Bring it on!” Levi was ready to knock them out.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1907
How dare these people dare come to Erudia and cause trouble with me.
The atmosphere became tense the next instant as Levi turned to face his five opponents.
Venom Fiend grew worried. Initially, he did not see it as a problem as Levi’s position at the top of the Gem List spoke volumes about his abilities.
However, he changed his mind when the power of the Five Dark Angels was demonstrated.
I did not expect them to be this powerful. Our victory is now uncertain.
Furthermore, those five were not even the strongest members of the Sacred Organization.
I think we’ve bitten off more than we could chew this time.
“Levi, you’ve brought this upon yourself!” Notos roared, a frightful tornado appearing with the raising of his arms.
Tempestus raised his arms as well, turning the skies dark as his wrath poured forth.
The other three followed suit. They were the masters of ice, fire, and electricity. Intent on punishing Levi, they summoned the absolute power of their respective domains.
With the combined power of all five, they were capable of bringing the world to its knees.
The tornado, hailstorm, hellfire, lightning, and thunder that was conjured merged to form a single unstoppable force.
Levi leaped forward to engage in combat while Venom Fiend was forced to reconsider his intention of intervening as the combatants could no longer be seen, hidden by a deadly flurry of elemental forces.
Worried that he would be killed before even getting close, as the application of his poison required close proximity to his victims.
The combined forces of all Five Dark Angels is a frightening thing indeed.
Even the skies turned dark and the land grew barren as if to reflect the fierceness of their battle.
The Five Dark Angels were assembled specifically by the Sacred Organization to test the mettle of the man leading the Gem List.
Separately, the Five Dark Angels were powerful individuals. Together, they were greater than the sum of their parts. Their comradery and communication were what allowed them to be such a formidable group.
With their combined force, they felt confident at being able to defeat the top number one on the Gem List. That assurance was made in accordance with the estimation of the Sacred Organization of the skill level of the top number one.
Unfortunately, their estimation was based upon the previous leader of the Gem List.
This time, however, it was Levi who was at the top of the Gem List.
It did not take long for Levi to gauge his opponents’ skills. Even he was forced to acknowledge their strength.
Nonetheless, that might have troubled him before he used the Reversal Technique. After his metamorphosis, their combined strength meant nothing to him.
“My turn!” Levi bellowed. “Leviathan!”
It was a technique he had developed himself. By concentrating all of his power into his fist and letting loose, it was capable of annihilating anything he chose.
In fact, it was the very same technique Levi had employed to break the Divine Sword in half.
Levi had an epiphany later on while developing his technique. It was not enough to funnel all of his power. He had to compress it further to enable the subsequent explosion to be even more impactful.
Confident that he had broken new ground with the discovery, he named this technique after himself.
Silence fell upon them while all of the power in the world was absorbed by Levi. Meanwhile, the power within his body was concentrated in his right fist.
After several minutes of channeling the immense power, he began the process of absolute compression.
It was such a demanding process that Levi felt his body being on the verge of tearing apart from the sheer amount of energy coursing through it.
Soon, his right fist began to change shape.
Thump!
Feeling that he could compress it no more, Levi slammed his fist into the ground the terrifying force was released in an instant.
A rumble echoed from all sides as the ground trembled, more menacing than the deadliest earthquake.
Levi’s right fist split the earth, the energy compressed within him exploded outward.
The Five Dark Angels were sent flying backward one at a time as they slammed violently into the ground some distance away. The elemental torrent that they had summoned ceased immediately.
Their bodies which had been specially cultivated by the Dark Emperor split wide open, having borne most of the impact of Leviathan.
If not for their extraordinary skill and endurance, the Five Dark Angels would have perished on the spot. Their eyes widened in horror as they gazed at Levi.
How is this possible? We are definitely able to take down the top number one on the Gem List through a combined effort. Is Levi really unbeatable?
Even Venom Fiend was frightened out of his wits. Having sent out a signal for help, the remaining six Fiends rushed to the scene and found that the fight was already over.
“The legendary Genius Doctor is unbeatable!”
Many onlookers who were passing by stood in awe at the aftermath of the battle.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1908
Earlier, it was the sound of the furious battle that had attracted them to watch the fight.
As they did not hear the dialogue between Levi and the Five Dark Angels, they were unaware of Levi’s identity.
Nevertheless, they did witness the battle.
The legendary Genius Doctor of Erudia is an unbeatable warrior? Even Levi who is the top number one on the Gem List is no match for this man. This news will soon spread to all of Erudia like wildfire.
The Five Dark Angels gazed disbelievingly at Levi, unable to comprehend how he was capable of such power.
After being defeated so easily, they feared that their end might be nigh.
To their surprise, Levi merely laughed. “I’ll let you go this time,” he said with amusement. “Tell your master to leave me alone or you wouldn’t be this lucky the next time you face me. I’ll kill you as you come. Do you understand?”
Levi was in a good mood today as the emergence of the Five Dark Angels gave him a good opportunity to test out Leviathan.
A few more practice sessions like this, Leviathan might even reach the power of the Forbidden Technique.
“Just you wait!” With one last threat, the Five Dark Angels slunk away.
It was the greatest humiliation ever suffered by the Sacred Organization. Though it hadn’t been long since their inception, they had never failed a mission before until they sent the Five Dark Angels up against Levi.
Having dishonored the Sacred Organization, the Five Dark Angels were left with no doubt that they would be in for a severe punishment when they returned.
We might even be executed for failing the mission.
“That’s enough,” Levi said, turning to address the Fiends. “Let’s head back!”
The crowd sighed with relief at the departure of Levi with Venom Fiend. There is hope for Erudia! Levi would no longer be dominant at the emergence of this new ungodly talent!
Levi and Venom Fiend returned and told the others everything that had happened.
“What? My God! The Sacred Organization is frightening! I thought that Death Fiend was their leader!” Levi’s disciples were in utter disbelief.
“That’s what they said,” Levi commented coldly. “Death Fiend is the most powerful of the Eighteen Dark Angels, but definitely not the most powerful one in the Sacred Organization! I hope they won’t target Erudia. If they do, I will fight them to the death!”
At the same moment, the news of the Genius Doctor’s martial prowess had already spread throughout Erudia.
“All I’m saying is that Erudia is full of powerful fighters. Levi and the rest have met their match!”
“That’s right! Even though Levi is at the top of the Gem List at the moment, somebody will come in and dethrone him soon enough!”
Emboldened by the emergence of a potential threat to Levi, the ones who were beaten by him felt brazen enough to speak up again. Many of them, still dissatisfied with their defeat, desired for this powerful fighter to put Levi in his place.
The Cardinal Hall and Eragon have remained silent ever since the Dragon Chain was broken by Levi.
They were not too worried when it came to dealing with Levi as they held Levi’s child. Even Zoey who saw Levi as a sworn enemy was at the moment under the care of the Cardinal Hall.
With those precautions in place, they believed that Levi would not act brashly against them.
Sure enough, Levi’s disappearance over that interval confirmed their belief. However, they were unaware that the disappearance was completely unrelated.
No matter what, Levi would not do anything to harm Erudia.
Meanwhile, in the most secret corner of the Cardinal Hall, a sign with “The Manifest Court” written in a bold hand hung high over one of its heavyset doors within which a voice came.
“The Sacred Organization? They’re here in Erudia? What does the Dark Emperor want?”
“I’d heard that they had found the Genius Doctor who has been gaining a reputation in Erudia.”
“Isn’t that Levi? Does the Sacred Organization intend to subdue him?”
“I think so. Should we inform the others in the Cardinal Hall?”
“No! We won’t get ourselves involved in this. There is also no need to divulge Levi’s identity as the Genius Doctor!”
“Of course. The Cardinal Hall and the other organizations would discover it themselves with any luck. Rest assured, the news would not come from us. Send our men to keep an eye on the Sacred Organization’s activities!”
Somehow, the Manifest Court was already well aware of Levi’s identity.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1909
Even the Cardinal Hall did not expect the Manifest Court to have known so much.
As the Manifest Court existed independently of the Cardinal Hall, the former would only provide assistance to the latter and any other organizations should the need arise.
They would not take the initiative to provide the Cardinal Hall with information, and certainly not take their orders.
The Manifest Court was only in charge of recruitment and the gathering of information pertaining to the realm. They would not intervene in other affairs.
In other words, both the organizations were equal but served different functions.
Aside from the news of Levi being the Genius Doctor, there was plenty of other information that the Manifest Court did not feel the need to share with the Cardinal Hall.
Being able to operate in shadow in this manner was a true testament to the frightening extent of the Manifest Court’s power, something that Cyrus had attested to once before.
The goings-on in Erudia that was invisible to most except the Manifest Court was enough to explain many happenings.
Meanwhile, the council meeting within the Manifest Court resumed.
“How did Levi’s wife and Wynona survive the explosion? Did someone rescue them? I still can’t believe it!”
“We’ve combed through all of the available information regarding that incident. Nobody has a definite answer.”
“According to what the two of them described, someone did in fact rescue them. That is the most reliable piece of information we have. Even they themselves had admitted that there was no way that they could have survived the blast if not for their savior.”
“Who could that person be? Even we are unable to find out! How bizarre!”
“That person may be related to Levi. Until now, we have been unable to ascertain how Levi had become even more powerful.”
At the mention of Levi’s power, the group was stunned in awe.
The identity of Levi being the Genius Doctor was easily discovered by the Manifest Court. However, they did not have a clue regarding the disappearance of his master.
At the conclusion of the meeting, all of the council members agreed upon the point that Levi’s master was a man of frightening capabilities.
Meanwhile, news of the Five Dark Angel’s defeat was soon delivered to the ears of the Sacred Organization.
To their shock, the council members of the Sacred Organization laughed in their faces instead of punishing them.
Having returned with the dread of being punished for their failure, they did not expect the outcome to be as different as that.
“Very good! He is much more powerful than we expected! Excellent!”
“This strengthens our resolve to recruit Levi! His addition to our organization has now become a priority! He must join us at all costs.”
“We must bring him in under the threat of death. If that were not possible, we will send out all Eighteen Dark Angels if need be.”
Levi’s demonstration of his power had the opposite effect of what he intended. It had in fact made the Sacred Organization even more determined for him to join their ranks.
Meanwhile, Levi was just finishing the last stage of his treatment. At last, the top three fighters of the Stone list have completely recovered.
Apart from that, the three of them had experienced a substantial increase in skill and soon broke through to the next level.
“Master, you’re amazing!” his disciples exclaimed. “In such a short period of time, you were able to nurse several hundred warriors back to health! It’s a miracle indeed!”
“I’m beginning to suspect that you are not the old man’s apprentice. He does not possess medical skills like yours!”
Always sharp, Sword Fiend sensed that something felt off.
Levi and Cyrus could not be more different than one another. Even their techniques do not share any similarities.
He was not sure if he was overthinking it, but he felt certain that Levi was not Cyrus’s apprentice.
Despite harboring that suspicion, he and the other disciples did not dare voice their opinion.
“Whether or not I am his apprentice is not important,” Levi said with an impatient wave of his arm. “Tell me, how’re you guys feeling now?”
Levi was curious to find out how the Fiends were getting on by abiding by his rules.
“I feel pretty good. I’m used to it by now!” His disciples nodded confidently.
Venom Fiend chuckled. “Yes, my deadly experiments still work even after using animals as a substitute!”
“Ever since I’ve used animal blood and artificial human blood,” Blood Fiend chimed in with a toothy grin, “I’ve found that my powers have increased. It’s also not that easy to harm myself during training.”
Ever since accepting Levi’s rules of not harming humans, the Fiends were feeling better than ever.
To transform a horde of Fiends to become better people was part of what made Levi a charismatic leader.
The Seven Fiends felt that even if Levi was not the Fiery Demon’s heir, they still benefited from abiding by his rules and teachings.
Several days later, Raysonia’s plan was finally put into motion to the shock of Erudia.
The Return of God of War Chapter 1910
The martial artists of Raysonia, Keerea, and the thirty-eight nations within Bayview voiced their intent on reviving the glory of the Elites Conference. Erudia was the only exception.
The Elites Conference was a competition that hosted the sparring between aspiring young martial artists hailing from all over Bayview. Their prowess was to be ranked by the Bayview List.
The glory of topping the Bayview List enticed talents throughout the region to compete to become the best fighter of all.
It was so prestigious that the merits of being on the Bayview List far exceeded Erudia’s Stone List.
The countries with the best fighters took great pride in achieving that feat as the honors and accolades were glorious indeed.
However, Keerea and Raysonia had more ambitious plans.
In accordance with the ancient rules of the Elites Conference, the country from which the most fighters made it on the Bayview List would obtain the rights to mobilize all the fighters of the other countries.
In other words, once Raysonia obtained the right, Erudia’s fighters would be under their jurisdiction and be forced to obey their commands.
In the same vein, Raysonia would be able to suppress the progress of fighters of neighboring nations and advance theirs at the same time.
Though it sounded far-fetched in theory, those were the rules of the Elites Conference since antiquity. Ironically, it had been the overlords of Erudia of the past who had set the rules.
Back then, the martial arts scene in Erudia was at its peak. All of the other neighboring nations of Bayview did not stand a chance against the Erudians as they were the undisputed masters of the martial arts world in the region of Bayview.
Not wishing for the martial artists of the other nations to rise and pose as a threat to them, the ancient Erudians sought to suppress their advancement. The reason for them to create that rule in the first place was to be able to control the development of martial artists in the neighboring nations.
Since the commencement of the Elites Conference, which was held once every thirty years, Erudia had been dominant in every single one. Erudia’s fighters not only held the top three of the Bayview List, but they also took up half of the list.
Erudia’s dominance over the martial arts scene in Bayview had persisted up until the last Elites Conference that the other nations did not even stand a chance.
That was why Raysonia and the other nations desired nothing more than to claim the crown for once.
As soon as they did, they would control the advancement of the martial artists throughout Bayview. In particular, they held a grudge against Erudia for lording over their nation for so many years.
As a result, to be able to control Erudia’s martial artists was their ultimate revenge.
In order to achieve that goal, Raysonia’s strategy was to hinder Levi’s attempt to reconstruct the martial arts scene in Erudia by incapacitating several hundred capable fighters of Erudia.
With their greatest competitor neutralized, no representative of Erudia would be able to make it to the Elites Conference.
The top three of the Stone List had suffered such grievous injuries that they seemed to have completely vanished. With the martial veins of the other fighters crippled, not a single capable fighter remained amongst them.
The only one who was promising was Forlevia, but she was still young and was taken away by the Cardinal Hall.
As a result, Erudia did not have a worthy candidate to fight in their name at the upcoming Elites Conference.
Despite the tradition of being crowned first place at every Elites Conference, Erudia might be the last this time with such bleak prospects ahead of them.
That was the wicked plan that Raysonia put into motion.
When the Cardinal Hall had caught wind of that, it was already too late.
As if to add insult to injury, Raysonia and the other nations planned for Erudia to host the Elites Conference.
Their intention was clear—absolute humiliation on Erudia!
Not only did they deprive Erudia of any worthy candidates, they even attempted to rub it in by having the Elites Conference on their land to humiliate them in front of the thirty-eight nations of Bayview and in front of the world.
Since the beginning of time, Erudia had been a superpower.
If the Elites Conference were to be held in Erudia as planned, Erudia’s dominance and reputation would suffer as they have never before.
By the end of it all, the whole of Erudia would never recover from the shame. On top of that they would have to wait another thirty years to avenge themselves of this injustice.
Raysonia’s scheme was a ruthless one, to say the least.
Though The Cardinal Hall was in disarray at the news, Levi saw it as an opportunity.
“Everybody,” Levi declared as the chatter of his disciples died down. “Our time has come!”
