The Return of God of War Chapter 2051
With the passing of Jefferson, Ryker, and a few other men, Cryptic Stream Corporation was adversely affected to the extent that all of its projects in Erudia were put to a halt.
The Four Heirs as well as their families were completely baffled.
When the owner of Cryptic Stream Corporation received the bad news about the deaths of his son and his good partner, his heart wrenched with sorrow.
“I must get rid of the culprit!” He was furious.
On the other hand, Bruce had to endure a steady bombardment of reprimands from the high-rank officials of the Lab of Gods.
Upon discussion, they had decided to give him one last chance.
Bruce’s eyes welled up as he put on a nasty expression. “I’ll remember this. It’s time for us to reveal to the world what the Lab of Gods is truly capable of!” An unswerving intent flashed across his eyes.
After receiving several blows, the energy supply station was destroyed. As a consequence, the Lab of Gods lost one of its most precious core resources along with its glorious reputation.
With that, the public no longer viewed the lab as a mysterious and powerful force, but a mediocre organization.
The Lab of Gods became the laughing stock in town. They were humiliated because of their lack of ability to detect the ambush, let alone striking back at their enemy.
From the incident, the Hilton family also started doubting the true capability of the Lab of Gods.
The name suggested that it consisted of a group of mighty deities, yet they were toyed by a mere mortal.
Recently, there seemed to be a series of problems occurring one after another, hurting the name and honor of the Lab of Gods.
The sunstone which had been regarded as the most mystifying resource had also been discovered by the general public.
Not only did they lose the chance to extract those in Erudia, they were also barred from mining at their existing training bases. The losses were unimaginable.
Had the crisis continued, no one would ever revere the Lab of Gods.
The very first thing that Bruce wanted to accomplish was to rebuild the Lab of Gods to its previous level of renowned splendor. He vowed to showcase how terrifying and awe-inspiring the lab could be.
In fact, Bruce had already thought about the few significant aspects of the lab that he wanted to exhibit.
“Unfortunately, we lack a golden opportunity to do so. If only we had a rightful opponent, we can display our strengths accordingly,” Bruce mumbled.
Peter suggested, “Mr. Johnston, we can simply select who we want to go against and then inform others that he’s the match for the Lab of Gods. Whatever it is, let’s annihilate them first.”
Bruce nodded. “Sounds good, but who should we pick?”
“I guess our best bet would be Erudia or someone related to Erudia,” Peter thought out loud.
“Those from Erudia would be tough. Let’s pick someone who’s connected to Erudia,” Bruce concluded.
Peter said quickly, “I can provide an option, Mr. Johnston. What about Ether Organization from Xyperia? They are the closest to Erudia in terms of partnership. Also, they have been providing lots of help to them.”
“This is a brilliant idea. Moreover, Ether Organization has long been blacklisted by us. This will be the perfect time to get rid of them once and for all.”
Bruce declared, “Relay my order. We’re to set off immediately for Xyperia and destroy Ether Organization to pieces. I want the whole world to have a taste of the unstoppable Lab of Gods! I’ll also be bringing along a secret weapon and a mysterious fighter. Just wait and see. “
With that, Bruce personally led his professional team into Xyperia to fight Ether Organization.
He released a statement. The Lab of Gods has discovered a connection between the mysterious force and Ether Organization. The latter is an accomplice.
Everyone knew the game the Lab of Gods was playing when it specifically targeted Ether Organization. However, no one dared to say anything about it.
Meanwhile, Zoey who was already on her way, changed her mind and detoured to Xyperia as soon as she heard about Bruce’s plan.
She was determined to finish off Bruce in order to avenge Levi.
The Return of God of War Chapter 2052
Ether Organization which was located in Xyperia received the bad news at the very last minute.
Without warning, the Lab of Gods launched an incredible attack at them and wiped them out completely using only sixty seconds.
This was shocking. The entire world was astounded at how an irresistible force like Ether Organization was exterminated in a flash!
Who exactly is the Lab of Gods? Why are they so frightening? They have the God Scepter!
Everyone was in awe of the name which went viral overnight.
That was also the first time the Lab of Gods had ever showcased God Scepter to the world.
Once the God Scepter was launched, the massive Ether Organization was turned into ruins within a minute.
In actual fact, the destruction only took several seconds. The remaining time was used to tie up loose ends.
The God Scepter was one of the Lab of Gods’ trump cards, its utmost prized possession.
Originally, Levi was supposed to use it during the ruckus raised in Zarain.
Unfortunately, Bruce intentionally ruined his plan at that time, resulting in the delay in introducing God Scepter.
Anyhow, many from the lab were of the opinion that it was not the best time to display the God Scepter back then.
Timing was everything. Now that the Lab of Gods had hit rock bottom, and was being humiliated, it was a good tactic to bring out the God Scepter and wow the world.
As expected, the secret weapon was disastrous. With one critical blow, it uprooted the whole Ether Organization.
All the other nations and factions were shocked to the core at its horrifying impact. Fear started to creep up upon them.
No one had ever seen or heard about the existence of the superb weapon.
It was just the beginning, for it was only one of the trump cards possessed by the Lab of Gods. God knows what other tricks they have up their sleeves!
Though the weapon had been introduced and used to achieve its purpose, nobody knew what it was exactly. That was what made it so scary! No one had the nerve to even imagine what else the weapon could do.
How should we counterattack the Lab of Gods and its secret weapon should we face them head-on one day?
Yet, everyone was still baffled, and they had no clue as to what it was.
Bruce was seen appearing alone in the barren desert at the north of Xyperia.
Upon destroying Ether Organization, he and his team had a smug look on their faces. Each one was proud of their effective fighting capabilities.
Bruce was grinning from ear to ear as he admired his work. “What will the world think if I show them the pure energy beings?”
“Hahaha…” Everyone burst into a raucous laugh upon hearing that.
Then, Bruce commanded, “Get the team to expedite the plan. I want to see Levi’s relatives being converted into pure energy beings soonest possible! I want them to become Erudia’s greatest nightmare!”
Bruce added, “By the way, Ether Organization is rather weak. We must continue to unleash the strengths of the Lab of Gods. Once isn’t enough.”
Curious, Peter questioned, “What should we do next, Mr. Johnston?”
A ferocious look flashed across Bruce’s eyes. “We have a private and confidential collaboration with Triple Group from Keerea. My gut feeling tells me that it’s time to exhibit the results.”
Suddenly, one of Bruce’s subordinates warned, “Oh no, someone is coming for us.”
The security system had detected someone suspicious approaching them.
“Huh? Could it be that it’s the mysterious forces?”
“Oh yes! We made our plans transparent to the world, so everyone is well aware of our whereabouts.”
At that thought, Peter and the others’ expressions changed.
On the contrary, Bruce chuckled. “They’re here? That’s awesome! Besides showcasing the true capabilities of the Lab of Gods, I also intend to lure them here.”
Peter nodded. “Based on our previous fighting saga, the mysterious faction absolutely hates us to the core. With Mr. Johnston’s revealing our exact location, it’s their best chance to show up for a showdown.”
“That’s right. If that’s their intention, why not? This is great news. Get ready to battle on my command, everyone!”
With countless highly skilled fighters around him, Bruce was fully prepared to go to war.
“They are coming!”
Everyone was stunned when their enemy appeared.
It’s a woman!
The Return of God of War Chapter 2053
“It’s her?”
The crowd was shocked when they saw the woman’s face.
“Zoey? Levi’s wife?”
Even Bruce was shocked.
She made her way toward them with a menacing look on her face.
“Bruce!”
Zoey immediately recognized him upon seeing his face.
She could remember clearly the person who had pretended to be a doctor.
“It’s me! You killed my husband, and I’m here to get revenge!” Zoey bellowed every single word at the top of her lungs.
“Huh? What?”
Bruce and the others thought that they had heard her wrong.
She’s here to avenge Levi?
Everyone was shocked.
The man furrowed his brows, but smiled a moment later.
Zoey’s appearance had dispelled a suspicion he had.
The powerful yet mysterious force, and when Jefferson said that Levi was still alive made Bruce wonder if the latter was actually still alive.
The dreadful feeling he had grew stronger as he analyzed the situation.
However, Zoey was here to get revenge now, and all suspicions he had were dispelled.
That’s right.
There’s no way Levi is still alive.
Bruce’s mood became better in an instant.
Not only did he manage to dispel his suspicions, but Zoey’s appearance was a great opportunity for him to show everyone just how powerful the Lab of Gods was.
It was killing two birds with one stone.
As for Zoey’s combat skills, he had actually assessed them himself and knew that she was extremely powerful.
As someone who was able to kill The Annihilator, she was definitely a threat.
However, it was because Zoey was so powerful that he could prove the capabilities of the Lab of Gods.
She had arrived just in time as Bruce was lacking a lab rat.
“Arghh!”
Without saying or wasting another word, the woman charged at him.
“Stop her!” he commanded, and the fighters around him started to charge at her.
Boom!
Zoey clashed with a man with superpowers.
Their fists crashed at each other, causing a loud boom at the impact.
The ground shook in an instant.
Crack!
Right then, the man’s arm burst open, followed by his body.
Zoey’s punch killed him right then and there.
The crowd watching sucked in a deep breath at the sight of this.
Even though the man wasn’t the strongest, he was still modeled after The Annihilator and had about seventy percent of the latter’s powers.
Yet he was killed by Zoey just like that.
“How exciting! But that makes sense,” Bruce shouted as he stepped back.
Boom!
He was still underestimating the woman.
She shifted into a flash of lightning and appeared in front of him the next second, passing through the large group of fighters.
Zoey then reached out and tried to tear him apart.
Bruce was dumbfounded.
Click! Click!
Fortunately, the mechanical armor he was wearing sensed the emergency and formed a shield before him instantly.
Bam!
Nonetheless, he was punched and his body flew backward.
The people around snapped back to their senses immediately and rushed over to Zoey.
“Die! All of you! Not only am I going to get revenge for my husband, but I’ll also complete his mission on his behalf. I’m going to destroy the Lab of Gods!” Zoey stared at the crowd as she spoke.
Boom!
Boom!
A battle erupted, and Zoey and the fighters of the Lab of Gods fought against each other.
The woman had always been strong, and all The Annihilator could do back then was to escape from her clutches.
Having been in seclusion for some time, she had mastered at least seventy percent of her own powers.
Needless to say, The Cardinal Hall was extremely terrifying.
A specialized master had taught Zoey the ways to control her powers and unleash them from her body.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Zoey was just too terrifying.
The fighters of the Lab of Gods were killed one after another. None of them had the chance to fight back at all.
The amount of collapsed fighters, fighters who vanished to be exact, was increasing over time.
Every time Zoey made her move, they would disappear altogether.
“That’s not good. She’s too powerful! Much more powerful than I had anticipated. Stop her at once!” Bruce shouted.
The Return of God of War Chapter 2054
Zoey was unstoppable.
None of Bruce’s fighters could stop her at all. Even if they were to join hands to fight her, all it would do was buy time.
They were simply useless against her.
“I want the whole world to know about this battle! It’s the perfect opportunity since we can show just how powerful we are with Zoey here,” the man shouted again.
Meanwhile, at Oakland City.
“Huh? This is bad! Wynona, Zoey’s missing!”
Mia and the rest finally noticed that she was gone.
“Oh no. She must’ve gone to get revenge!” Wynona exclaimed.
The former came to her senses as well. “That’s right. Bruce happened to be at Xyperia too. Zoey must’ve gone to look for him.”
“We gotta hurry to Xyperia, then. Where did she get the guts to fight the Lab of Gods alone?”
“I’ll let The Cardinal Hall know. We can’t let anything happen to Zoey.”
The Cardinal Hall instantly sent their men out the moment they received the news.
For one, Zoey was Levi’s wife.
On the other hand, she was extremely powerful and had great potential. They didn’t want anything to happen to her.
Soon, the news of the battle between Zoey and the Lab of Gods started to spread.
The whole world now knew that she had gone to kill Bruce and destroy the Lab of Gods to get revenge for her husband.
It was also the first time Zoey showed the world her capabilities.
“What? Is Levi’s wife really so powerful?”
“The whole family’s ruthless! Their daughter also possesses unmatched talents.”
“But they’re fighting against the Lab of Gods. If they’re unlucky, they might die in Bruce’s hands.”
The whole world was shocked when they got news of it.
Everyone had their attention on Xyperia’s deserted land to witness the battle.
Someone had even managed to get information on the situation and was updating everyone on the battle.
There was death everywhere.
Fighters who appeared in front of Zoey would drop dead almost instantly.
Almost hundreds of them had already lost their lives.
The number didn’t seem shocking though, since hundreds of thousands of soldiers were involved in the war previously.
However, these fighters were from the Lab of Gods.
Each of them were extremely powerful.
They were incomparable to mere goons.
Each fighter of the Lab of Gods was divided into different grades.
For instance, Bruce was only a C grade fighter. However, with his armor, he would instantly become an S grade.
Bruce had sent out S+ grade fighters to fight Levi previously.
The Annihilator was an example of a Double S grade fighter.
Meanwhile, most of the ones Bruce brought along were at least S- grade fighters, S grade ones taking up one-third of them.
There were ten Double S grade fighters by Bruce’s sides protecting him, and there were a few Triple S grade fighters among them.
That meant that even as a high-rank official, he could only mobilize this many fighters.
Previously, he was only able to mobilize a small number of S and S- grade fighters.
Fighters from each grade were precious treasures.
That was why it was shocking for Zoey to be able to kill so many S- grade fighters.
Before this, no one else besides Levi could accomplish this.
She fought more ferociously as the battle went on, an air of invincibility surrounding her.
More and more fighters started to collapse.
Even those by Bruce’s side couldn’t bear to watch anymore.
“Mr. Johnston, are you going to continue allowing Zoey to kill our fighters? The S grade and even the S+ grade fighters stand no chance against her at all. We’re just sending them to their deaths, aren’t we?” someone asked hurriedly.
“I know this, obviously. The Annihilator, who was a Double S grade couldn’t win against her too. How could these people be her opponents?” Bruce sneered.
“Huh?”
The fighters were dumbfounded.
Why wouldn’t he send the strongest fighters if he knew?
Why sacrifice so many fighters?
They were unable to comprehend what Bruce was thinking.
Right then, Peter grinned, “Listen up, what Mr. Johnston meant is simple…”
The Return of God of War Chapter 2055
“Huh?”
Everyone turned to look.
“First, let Zoey get rid of everyone. Let her unleash her powers and capabilities. The more power she unleashes, the better. This is like killing two birds with one stone to us. Once she unleashes a great enough power, we kill her. Wouldn’t this show the world how great and powerful the Lab of God is, then?”
Everyone nodded simultaneously. “That’s right. The more powerful she is, the more we can show everyone else how great we are.”
Peter smiled at that. “Actually, we are also analyzing her battle skills when we allow her to unleash her powers. Then, we can get an overall picture of what to do. We’ll be able to find out her weaknesses! That way, we can take her down easier later.”
The fighters were shocked upon hearing this.
They had never expected Bruce to be so meticulous.
However, the sacrifice for this plan was too much.
There would be too many people dying.
Each and every one of the fighters were precious after all.
Yet, there were already so many of them dead.
Knowing what they were thinking, Bruce smiled and said, “Sometimes, we need to make sacrifices if we want to achieve something. I have had too many fighters die in this period of time. However, when we finally manage to make pure energy beings, the higher-ups will definitely compliment me.”
Hearing that, everyone nodded.
They knew that it was worth the sacrifice now if even one pure energy being could be formed.
On the battlefield, Zoey continued to showcase her strength.
The number of people who died in her hands was increasing.
The group with Bruce was using the most advanced equipment, along with some fighters, were analyzing Zoey’s strengths and weaknesses.
“S+ grade fighters! Charge!” he ordered.
Several fighters staggered before falling to their deaths after fighting Zoey.
She had not even unleashed her full powers.
Which meant that her opponents weren’t pressuring her enough.
“Use the upgraded version of Deicide!” Bruce ordered again.
He wanted to use it to continue pressuring Zoey, allowing her to unleash more of her powers.
The Deicide locked on to her time and time again, launching attacks at her each time.
However, Zoey would unleash an invincible amount of power each time and she was able to stop the Deicide’s attacks.
“Do you see that? The Deicide is useless against fighters of this class,” Bruce said.
“We’re still trying to develop the third version of Deicide, Mr. Johnston. It’ll be a success soon!” a subordinate said as he wiped away his sweat.
“Continue using other weapons. Don’t stop pressuring her,” the former commanded calmly.
The fighters continued to attack her under his command.
Nonetheless, Zoey was just too powerful.
Her actions and strengths surprised Bruce each time.
No matter how strong her obstacles were, she was able to resolve the attacks each time.
“She’s just too powerful!”
“There are already thousands who died in her hands. They’re all fighters of the Lab of Gods! And they weren’t even able to stop her with so many powerful weapons.”
“Holy crap! She’s basically the female version of Levi. She’s just too powerful! Both their powers are unbelievable.”
The whole world was left in shock when they witnessed Zoey’s powers.
She was about to surpass the past Levi soon.
After all, she was the first person to ever fight the Lab of Gods head-on.
Who else was capable enough to destroy the Lab of Gods single-handedly?
Zoey had appeared out of thin air and showed the world how powerful an ordinary person could turn out to be.
Her capabilities were basically God-like, and Bruce had finally achieved his goal.
He was finally able to let the whole world know how powerful Zoey was.
Now all that was left to do was kill her, that way the world would know how great the Lab of Gods was.
“It’s time. Zoey must die!”
A cold glint flashed across Bruce’s eyes.
The Return of God of War Chapter 2056
“Send out the Double S grade fighters!”
Under his orders, four fighters instantly came forward.
None of them were weaker than The Annihilator, even if they were to fight alone.
Although The Annihilator was the only success Project Genesis had achieved, thirty years had already passed.
In these thirty years, the Lab of Gods had achieved all sorts of things.
Therefore, The Annihilator wasn’t the strongest of Lab of Gods. He was just one of the pawns in the game.
The four fighters started to attack.
As expected, it wasn’t as easy for Zoey anymore.
Most of the fighters who attacked earlier were killed within seconds.
However, the four fighters had her cornered this time.
Both sides began launching their attacks on each other.
These men with superpowers were very much like Zoey when she became a fighter.
The way they used their powers was uncannily similar too.
It was a race to see who was stronger and faster.
That was why they weren’t as easy to defeat compared to the previous fighters.
Zoey was having quite a hard time getting away from them and killing them.
Besides, she lacked experience in actual combat.
It would be all right if it was a one-on-one battle.
But her weaknesses were exposed with all four of them attacking her at once.
With every second that passed, more and more weaknesses were revealed.
First of all, she lacked experience.
Secondly, she had limited means of attacking and defending.
Thirdly, she was unable to use her powers to its full extent.
Although the enemy found out more and more of her weaknesses, her fighting capabilities were still strong as ever.
While the fighters were able to keep her occupied, each of them was injured in varying degrees.
They would all end up dead if this were to continue on.
In other words, Zoey was still powerful even with her weaknesses.
Unable to land a critical blow on even one of them, and with them hounding on her, she was starting to panic.
“Die! All of you!”
She channeled her fury and energy, and her powers started to get stronger as well.
It got onto a whole new level in just a matter of minutes.
“Wait… It’s true that emotions can affect a person’s fighting capabilities, but with her already so powerful, how did her emotions affect her so much?”
“That’s unbelievable! What is happening? Are her emotions and powers synced?”
One of Bruce’s subordinates was measuring Zoey’s powers with a piece of equipment and noticed that it was increasing with her anger.
It was showing a phenomenon that was supposed to be impossible.
Boom!
With a punch, Zoey sent one of the men flying backward.
His body exploded upon impact, and blood splattered everywhere.
Boom!
Another man was sent flying.
The fighters were heavily wounded.
Their eyes were filled with surprise in an instant.
We were able to hold her off earlier. How did this happen?
“Ahh!”
As though she was the Grim Reaper, Zoey continued to charge at Bruce some distance away.
The four fighters instant tried to stop her.
But the woman was on a whole other level.
She sent them flying once again, and there was no way they could stop her.
“Charge! Stop her at once! Do not let her come near this area!” Bruce ordered.
The remaining Double S grade fighter immediately stepped forward to stop Zoey.
The former’s face darkened.
He had originally planned to use these fighters to kill Zoey.
The man once thought that he wouldn’t have to use his trump card against her.
However, it seemed like even these fighters were unable to stop her.
“Increase Zoey’s strength assessment by a notch and use the God Scepter on her now,” Bruce quickly ordered.
“Understood. Starting the God Scepter’s system now. Firing estimated in one minute!”
Bruce then contacted the lab in charge of God Scepter, about to use it to kill Zoey.
“Release our team of humanoid robots. Have them cover us while we retreat,” he ordered again.
Right then, ten robots with heights of more than two meters appeared.
Each of them turned into a streak of lightning as they appeared before Zoey, surrounding her.
The remaining Double S grade fighters quickly retreated from the place under their cover.
Although they knew that the robots weren’t able to hold Zoey off completely, their aim was to keep her there long enough for the God Scepter to do its job.
Everyone knew just how terrifying the God Scepter was, which was why Bruce took everyone else with him and escaped.
The Return of God of War Chapter 2057
The only ones left behind were Zoey and the ten robots.
Though the robots were powerful, it was nothing worth mentioning for Zoey.
All they could do to Zoey was to delay her time by a minute as pre-programmed in their systems.
But that was more than enough.
Bruce and the rest had successfully escaped to a safe corner.
“Preparations for God Scepter’s launch system have been completed. Get ready for the launch! Three! Two! One!”
Boom! Boom!
Loud explosions thundered through the air… it was so imposing that it seemed like it was about to split the sky apart.
A beam suddenly flashed across the vast night sky.
That beam that came from the Lab of Gods’ satellites was just like God’s punishment, capable of tremendous destruction.
The laser beams from the satellites could aim precisely at their target.
Known to own that most powerful technology in the entire world, the Lab of Gods had long mapped out their arrangements in space.
Things like satellites were a necessity for them.
The superweapon, God Scepter, that they were very proud of was actually the emissions of laser beams from satellites.
The most frightening thing about God Scepter was probably the radius of its attack—it was capable of destroying the whole world.
Perhaps because the launch was from the satellite from a height above, and adding onto its destructibility, God Scepter could thus cover every part of the world and cause a catastrophic blow once activated.
No one would be able to escape when targeted by the weapon.
With how terrifying and futuristic the weapon was, it became the trump card of the Lab of Gods.
At that instant, that beam shot down from the sky, targeting the area where Zoey was.
Though the beam was nowhere near, its high temperature was so intense that not only was the ground scorched, the remaining robots in the area melted at once.
That alone was enough to show its power as those robots, supposedly made of aerospace-level material and resistant to heat, could not even withstand the heat of the beam and melted away instead.
However, credit had to be given to Zoey that she could withstand something that even the robots could not. It only proved how her body was of a different level compared to the others.
Boom!
As the beam approached the area, rumbling sounds erupted as the ground began showing signs of crumbling.
Boom!
At last, the beam shot toward Zoey accurately.
Everything had happened in the blink of an eye, leaving Zoey no chance for escape.
Whoosh!
Zoey, as the center of target, was struck by the beam.
Crack…
A pit the size of a small town was formed as a result of the strike. A mushroom cloud rose into the air, casting an ominous shadow over the crowd.
Everything within that area within the radius of a few hundred meters was damaged, as though an asteroid had smashed into the ground.
That sight alone showed how powerful the weapon was.
The world had finally experienced the wrath of God Scepter.
Though the weapon was used during the extermination of Ether Organization, no one had seen that and thus did not know its exact power.
But this time, they saw it clearly.
It was a horrible sight!
God Scepter was so formidable that it could instill fear in everyone.
If it were used in a small country, the whole place would vanish instantly.
God Scepter could even be used as the determining weapon in battles between the powerful forces.
Yet, at that particular moment, the Lab of Gods had used it against one person.
That could only prove two things. First, it showed that the person they were dealing with was extremely formidable. Second, it showed how powerful the Lab of Gods was, and that God Scepter was probably not their only trump card; thus, could use it as they wish.
As the beam shot toward the area where Zoey was, she vanished before everyone’s eyes…
The Return of God of War Chapter 2058
“Yes! We’ve won! Zoey is sure to meet her maker!”
“She’s nothing but a normal being. How will she be able to endure God Scepter? What a joke!”
Bruce’s men were in joy after seeing Zoey disappear within their sight.
They seemed to be confident about God Scepter.
“No one can fight head-on against God Scepter!” Bruce lifted his lips into a wide smirk.
In fact, Levi would surely meet his doom if God Scepter was used back then at the borders of Zarain.
Nonetheless, Bruce did not regret not utilizing it, as Byron would have lost his life since he was captured by Levi.
Well, it’s not too late now. I can still make use of it now to get rid of Zoey.
In the meantime, news about God Scepter had spread like wildfire in Erudia.
“What weapon is that? Have you guys gotten the results? Is it really that powerful?”
Forces from Xyperia and other countries were finding out about God Scepter as many were left shocked by its power.
“What? Zoey has been defeated? How is that possible?”
At the same time, The Cardinal Hall received news.
Zoey is dead?
All the fighters that The Cardinal Hall sent out instantly stopped in their tracks.
If Zoey’s dead, then what’s the point of us going?
“What? She’s dead?”
Receiving such news left both Wynona and Mia frantic.
“I don’t believe it! I won’t believe it unless I see it with my eyes!”
The area was still covered in smoke as a mushroom-shaped smoke rose into the air.
Leading his team, Bruce arrived at the scene with the same philosophy he always had in mind—he wanted to see Zoey’s body to ensure that she was dead.
Otherwise, he would not be able to rest easy.
“Search! Find it for me!” Bruce commanded his men to search for Zoey’s body.
Beep, beep, beep…
Right then, the alarm on the detector sounded.
“What a strong energy wave! Zoey’s not dead. She’s still alive!” someone shouted.
Instantly, everyone stared intently at the pit with their guards up.
Boom!
Bruce’s men hurriedly dispelled the thick smoke around the area, revealing a pit that was over a hundred meters deep.
They were amazed at how deep the laser beam of God Scepter could penetrate; yet, they were dumbfounded by the fact that Zoey was still alive at the same time.
She was covered in blood and had multiple cuts and wounds all over her body.
Despite holding onto her life, God Scepter’s laser beams had penetrated through her body, causing grave damages all over.
Had she not undergone major modifications back then, there was no way she could withstand that.
Everyone at the scene, including Bruce, was astounded as they did not expect someone who could withstand the powers of God Scepter.
“We’ve underestimated her physique! She’s just like a pure energy being!”
Bruce had a cold smile on his face. “Sadly, she’s seriously injured! She’s at the end of her wits!”
“That’s right! The energy level in her body is quickly decreasing! She’ll die if she loses all of her energy!”
By then, Bruce’s men had already gotten results from the test.
“Great. I shall send her to her grave then!” Bruce uttered snarkily before waving his hand to gather the fighters.
“You guys follow along too!” He also ordered two Triple S-rank fighters to follow along at the last minute.
He did that just so that he could minimize the chances of survival for Zoey.
Seeing her enemies approaching, Zoey furiously forced herself up.
“I want my revenge! I’ll kill Bruce even if it means I have to sacrifice my life! Kill them!” Zoey was unrestrained.
Boom! Bam!
Sadly, Zoey was sent flying across the air again and again as the injuries she had sustained were too serious.
There was simply no way she could get near to Bruce.
Bam!
It was yet another messy battle.
And Zoey was sent flying before landing on the ground again, unable to get up anymore.
She shut her eyes in despair.
“Levi! I’ll meet you soon!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 2059
All Zoey could feel was the energy in her body draining away quickly. Unfortunately, her body could not heal fast enough to recover from such damages.
At that point, she could not even open her eyes.
She felt powerless.
Her mind was all about Forlevia and her family, and she did not want to die this way.
Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do.
I’ve underestimated Bruce, as well as the Lab of Gods.
She knew she did not have the capability, at least for now, to fight against that mighty weapon and avenge Levi.
“What should we do, Mr. Johnston? Kill her or bring her back alive? If we bring her back, I’m sure we’ll be able to make use of her and even turn her to our side.” Peter had a sinister smile on his face.
However, Bruce shook his head violently. “There’s no need to keep her. Just kill her now! Like Levi, we can’t let her live. Letting her survive is equivalent to keeping a time bomb with us. Instead of helping us, she’ll become a threat to us instead!”
Bruce had experienced too many failures with Levi.
He understood that people like them were not worth giving chances. Instead, killing them as soon as possible was the best solution.
Bruce threw a glance at Zoey and ordered, “Kill her!”
The man beside him charged forward, gathering immense energy on his right shoulder. Knowing how Bruce would only be appeased and happy after seeing a dead body, the man wanted a forceful punch to send Zoey to doom in an instant.
“Go meet Levi in hell!”
The man with superpowers gathered so much power and threw the punch out.
Boom!
At that most critical moment, a wave of energy pierced through the air at lightning speed.
Whoosh!
That energy ripped the right arm of the man with superpowers apart.
“Ahh!” that person screamed in agony as his right arm fell off.
“Shit, there’s someone!” Bruce’s men were alerted.
“Kill her! Hurry up and kill her now!” Afraid that things might take a turn, Bruce immediately shouted.
The fighters acted accordingly and tried to get close to Zoey.
Phish! Phish! Phish!
However, those that made it near Zoey either had their arm or leg blasted off, or even worse, had their head blown off, facing an immediate death.
Needless to say, no one could get close to her at all.
It was as though there was a meter-long forbidden area around her.
Startled at what was happening, Zoey struggled to open her eyes to look around her.
Similarly, Bruce and his men were looking around too.
They found it extremely strange as they saw no one around.
“Could it be the fighters from The Cardinal Hall?” That was the first reaction that came to Bruce’s mind.
But I’ve come up with the necessary strategies against The Cardinal Hall. After all, Xyperia and Erudia are too close to each other. It won’t take The Cardinal Hall or the fighters from Erudia long to arrive if they want to make a move.
After all, the two countries are very near.
Given how cautious he was, it was impossible for Bruce to overlook that.
Besides, he had contacted Cyrus beforehand, and the latter had agreed to watch The Cardinal Hall and Erudia’s fighters and inform him of any movements at once.
Not too long ago, The Dark Sun had also accurately informed him regarding the location of Wynona and The Cardinal Hall’s fighters.
Since they can’t be here in such a short time, who else would it be?
“Kill Zoey first!”
Though Bruce did not know who exactly it was, he knew someone was there to save Zoey. And there was no way he would spare her life.
Boom! Boom!
Several Double S grade fighters charged forward, only to be met with an unprecedented attack, causing them to be badly wounded.
Despite their proximity to Zoey, that meter-long distance made it seem like she was extremely far and unreachable.
Of course, those fighters had successfully attracted that mysterious person to appear.
Not too far away, a tall figure emerged from a large the Lab of Gods’ aircraft, overlooking everyone from above like a demon.
Its presence alone was sufficient to bring an immense threat to the Lab of Gods.
Even Bruce struggled to breathe, almost on the verge of becoming breathless.
Like him, the rest of them were feeling the same way. It was a fear that came from the depth of their souls.
“Who are you?” Bruce roared.
“Levi Garrison!”
The Return of God of War Chapter 2060
Levi was a man with great reputation and influence.
The mention of his name was like a bolt out of the blue, scaring everyone out of their wits and their souls leaving their bodies.
Levi? That familiar yet terrifying name!
Even the Lab of Gods had labeled his existence as the most threatening one.
Everyone was on the verge of breakdown despite being in such a critical instant.
Weirdly, Bruce was so horror-stricken that he soaked in cold sweat and almost lost all form of control over his bowel movement.
He was so affected that his mind went blank.
The others were in similar predicament.
When Zoey heard that name, she suddenly felt like she had gained immense strength despite her pathetic state.
The fear and panic caused to everyone’s mental state at the mention of that name were so devastating it was comparable to that of God Scepter.
No way. That’s impossible. Levi is dead. The entire world saw his body dissolving to the point beyond resurrection. How is it possible that he’s still alive?
Apart from how cautious Bruce was, he was even more sure that Levi was dead since Zoey had come to him to seek revenge.
At the thought of that, Bruce burst out in laughter. “You said you’re Levi?”
What a dumb fool trying to disguise as Levi? Levi Garrison? How is that possible that he’s still alive? I’m sure he’s an imposter making use of Levi’s name just to scare us!
Indeed, it had actually worked for a moment just now.
Everyone was frozen in place when they heard that name, including Bruce.
“Yes, I am!” the person answered while looking down from above.
“Haha! I can’t believe there would be anyone who would pretend to be Levi! He’s left with no remains; he couldn’t be more dead! Look, my friend. Your trick doesn’t work on me! You aren’t Levi!” Bruce laughed boisterously.
That person smiled. “Who told you I’m dead? Can’t you see I’m perfectly fine?”
“Huh?” Bruce was confused upon hearing that, and he instantly sank deep in his thoughts.
Could it be possible that Levi is really still alive?
All sorts of possibilities flashed across his mind within that second.
With his knowledge of the technology the Lab of Gods had, he figured the possibility of Levi being alive was almost zero.
Unless he was more than a normal human being.
But thinking sensibly about it, they reckoned it was unlikely that he was still alive.
“Who exactly are you? You’re not from Erudia. Are you the person who has been going against me recently?” Bruce questioned.
“Just make a guess,” that person sneered.
“I believe you are! Since we’ve met today, I won’t let you leave that easily!” Bruce’s face contorted in anger.
“Goodbye!”
Nonetheless, that man waved goodbye and instantly vanished within the sights of the crowd.
“Huh? He’s gone? Crap. Where is Zoey?” Bruce shouted.
At once, everyone turned to look behind, but Zoey had long disappeared out of sight.
Everyone’s attention was on the appearance of the mysterious man who called himself Levi.
As such, no one was bothered about Zoey.
With how top-notch the skills of the other party were, it was no doubt they had the ability to rescue Zoey.
“I…” Bruce was so livid that he almost cussed.
How tricky of them! I’ve made a fool out of myself this time!
Using Levi’s name was a clever tactic the other party had enlisted as it had successfully diverted their attention.
In the meantime, Zoey was at a deserted land in Xyperia after getting rescued.
As expected, there was more than just one man.
Soon, they met up with that mysterious man from earlier.
Zoey got all excited seeing that person.
“Levi! You’re alive! You’re still alive!”
“I’m not Levi!”
