The Return of God of War Chapter 2131
Chapter 2131 No One Is Leaving This Place Alive
Inside the manor, Levi was resting with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, he could feel a sense of dread while his left eyelid twitched rapidly. It felt as if there was impending danger.
“Damn it. Something’s about to happen!”
Levi had an accurate six sense.
Hence, he shared what he sensed with Sammy.
“Could it be that I’ve been discovered?”
While Levi felt wary, Sammy went to investigate.
When she tried contacting her guards, none of them responded.
That was when she knew that the safety perimeter had been compromised.
Only the manor’s security system was still functioning.
“Something’s wrong! My men are not responding. I’m afraid they might be dead!” Sammy exclaimed.
“Come on, let’s escape via the secret underground tunnel. We cannot stay here any longer.”
Sammy led Levi away at once.
Boom!
Crack!
At that moment, the French windows in the room were shattered by an attack.
A figure appeared to block their way.
It was Lucifer.
“Levi, there’s no escape for you!” Lucifer roared.
Boom!
Next, the wall on the other side was blown apart with Kraken emerging from the rubble.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Accompanied by a stack of flying Jester Cards, Jester King and Hell Witch made their entrance.
Boom!
Boom!
The next moment, the manor’s roof collapsed while someone else attacked from below their feet.
By then, the other ten attackers had gathered.
All of them were in suits and exuded a domineering aura.
Finally, they had completely surrounded Levi.
“Levi, today is the day you die. There is no way you’re going to escape from our clutches.”
All the guards at the manor had been killed. Hence, only Levi and Sammy were left.
Shocked, Levi’s expression drastically changed.
What’s going on? Didn’t they leave? Why did they turn back in such a short time?
Furthermore, how did they find out my identity?
In fact, they sounded certain of it.
More importantly, how did they know I was here? They seemed to have learned a lot in such a short time.
A barrage of questions popped up in Levi’s mind.
Meanwhile, Lucifer could see how bewildered Levi was.
He sneered, “Both of you are too naive to think that you can take on the Lab of Gods! You have no idea what you are facing!”
“Levi, surrender and come with us peacefully. Or else, only death awaits.” Jester King burst into a wave of laughter.
“Me? Surrender? Never!”
Suddenly, Levi charged at Hell Witch.
Together with Levi, Sammy used her powers to control their enemies.
However, she had underestimated how strong they were.
Her powers were simply useless against them.
“What an amateur!”
Ignoring Levi, Lucifer attacked Sammy.
At the same time, Hell Witch unleashed an inferno to stop Levi in his tracks.
Unable to use her powers, Sammy was just as vulnerable as an ordinary human being.
Staring at the charging Lucifer, Sammy froze on the spot.
Left without a choice, Levi had to turn back to save her.
Boom!
Lucifer launched an attack while Levi intercepted it with his own.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Unable to withstand the impact, Levi was thrown backward instead.
With that, Jester King and the rest joined in the fray.
The attacks on Levi became relentless.
They have grown stronger!
Levi had noticed that his attackers not only recovered from their injuries but had also increased in strength.
Is this what makes the Lab of Gods so mystical?
As the rest of the attackers piled on the pressure, Levi and Sammy were gradually forced into a corner.
In a blink of an eye, both of them were already hurt.
At the same time, Levi’s earlier wounds deteriorated further.
“It seems we’re not going to be able to leave!”
Despair began to creep into Levi.
If he wasn’t grievously wounded, they might still stand a chance.
But now that he was, he could barely hold his ground any longer.
“Don’t let him live!”
As if they had gone berserk, Lucifer and his men intensified their attacks.
The Return of God of War Chapter 2132
Chapter 2132 The Worst Has Yet To Come
“Die!”
In his desperation, Levi performed the Forbidden Technique.
At the crucial moment, the power unleashed by Levi caught Lucifer and the others by surprise.
Despite their overwhelming strength and the fact that he was seriously injured, Levi managed to battle toe to toe with them.
It was unbelievable.
However, Levi was forcing himself beyond his limit.
Soon, it was obvious that he was on his lasts legs.
If the enemies were only one class weaker, Levi would be able to leverage the explosiveness of the Forbidden Technique to fight his way out.
Their chances of survival would be much higher.
Unfortunately, Lucifer and all of his men were simply too strong.
Previously, Levi had only managed to fight on equal terms with them using the Forbidden Technique.
But now, their numbers had increased and his chances looked bleak.
However, in a desperate bid for survival, Levi gave everything he had and exhausted all of the Forbidden Techniques he knew.
Even though executing Forbidden Annihilation would cause him to lose his mind, Levi didn’t care.
All that mattered was their survival.
So what if I turn into a mindless killing machine?
Boom!
At that moment, the ferocious aura that Levi emitted expanded significantly.
It seemed to meld the heavens and the earth together.
Levi looked as if he was a demon who had climbed out of hell, giving Lucifer and his men a fright.
How can he still be so strong?
What sort of monster is he?
They had not expected such a turn of events.
“Watch out everyone! Don’t let him flee!” Lucifer reminded.
If they were to fail again, it would be utter humiliation.
We have to succeed!
Levi must be killed!
Pfft!
At that moment, Levi spewed a mouthful of black-colored blood.
It was obvious that he was poisoned.
When Sammy and he exchanged glances, they knew that the medication that Sammy provided him had been tampered with.
It not only didn’t help with his recovery but had also aggravated his injuries instead.
When Levi was harnessing his energy, the medication’s effect was triggered.
It was now evident that the medication provided by Sammy had long been switched.
This was part of the man in a suit’s plan all along.
Given how shrewd he was, he was able to put into motion an elaborate plot in such a short time.
It was simply unimaginable.
Pfft!
The next moment, Levi continued to throw up black-colored blood. Just like a deflated balloon, the energy he harnessed began to lose its potency.
Just a moment ago, he was still able to hold his ground against his foes. But now, he had lost his ability to do so.
His body weakened to the extent that he was unable to use any Forbidden Techniques at all, let alone fight with such powerful opponents.
“Hahaha!”
Realizing his predicament, Lucifer and his men began to smile.
They now knew that Levi had passed the peak of his powers.
“Kill him now!”
Just a moment ago, Lucifer had confirmed with the man in the suit that there was no need to capture Levi alive.
They could go ahead and kill him.
Despite feeling the urge to fight on, Levi’s body was going against his will.
Given how serious his wounds were and the fact that he was at his enemies’ mercy, Levi was filled with utter despair.
Meanwhile, Jester King flung his cards at Levi, as if they were sharp-edged weapons flying in Levi’s direction.
“No!” Sammy screamed hysterically.
Bam!
Suddenly a figure appeared and kicked the cards aside.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
One by one, more figures appeared.
Soon, a group of young men who were known as the Genesis Devils of Triple Group emerged.
“Save us!” Sammy yelled.
They were Sammy’s ultimate trump card.
The Genesis Devils charged ferociously at Lucifer and his men, sparking a brutal battle that tied them down.
Subsequently, Sammy used the opportunity to escape with Levi.
“Don’t worry, they are strong enough to keep our enemies at bay. We should leave first!”
Sammy had confident in her subordinates.
After all, they were strong and had saved her time and again.
“All right. Let’s go!”
Levi could feel his body continue to weaken. Feeling groggy, he knew that he could lose consciousness anytime.
Can we really escape?
The Return of God of War Chapter 2133
Chapter 2133 This Is The End
Meanwhile, Lucifer and his men were being agitated by the young men produced by the Devil Genesis Project.
“Kill them all!”
Lucifer scoffed, “Do you know how you came to being? How dare you stand against us?”
Thirty years ago, the man in a suit had started Project Genesis at the Lab of Gods.
He too had started the Triple Group’s Devil Genesis Project.
Given that he was the founder of both projects, the young men in front of them were considered his creations.
Ironically, they were now standing in their way which made for a twisted joke.
Pfft!
Suddenly, the tattoos on Lucifer’s body began to glow. With a sudden explosion of power, he grabbed one of the young men and tore him apart with his bare hands.
Boom!
Hell Witch then unleashed Hellfire to burn one of them to crisp.
Unfortunately, not everyone was able to absorb fire like Levi.
Whoever that was caught would be incinerated to bits.
At the same time, Jester King and Kraken used their own abilities to kill the enemies they faced.
As for the ten elite warriors that the man in a suit had sent, all of them eliminated their foes with their own unique abilities.
In less than a minute, the young men were all massacred.
Against Lucifer’s overwhelming power, they didn’t stand a chance at all.
When Lucifer and his men caught up with Sammy and Levi, both of them were stunned.
What happened to the group of young men?
Were they defeated in less than a minute?
How is this possible?
“Are you looking for them still? They’re dead!”
Lucifer grabbed one of their heads and flung it toward Sammy’s feet.
Gasp!
She caught her breath in response.
After all, she knew better than anyone how strong the young men were.
She wasn’t even hoping that they could defeat Lucifer. Nevertheless, she expected them to at least be able to put up a longer fight.
No one had expected all of them to perish within a minute.
That showed that Lucifer and his men were just too strong.
“Levi, your end is near. Today is the day you die and no one will be able to save you!” Lucifer sneered.
Jester King looked at Sammy, “Don’t worry, once all this ends, we will start cleansing the Triple Group with blood.”
“Stop them!”
Shocked by his words, Sammy used her special authority to mobilize all of Triple Group’s elites to stop them.
The next moment, tens of thousands of formidable fighters appeared.
“It’s useless! You can’t stop them. Don’t sacrifice them in vain!” Levi yelled.
Given how strong their enemies were, even a hundred thousand more men wouldn’t be enough.
“In that case, what should we do?”
Sammy began to panic as she didn’t want Levi to die.
“Let me think of a plan!”
Sitting on the ground, Levi racked his brains as he desperately tried to come up with something.
He recalled in his mind all the ancient books that his master had left him and tried to figure out a strategy.
“Don’t move! No one is allowed to move!”
At that moment, the high-rank officials of Triple Group appeared after they received the news. They subsequently ordered their fighters to stand down.
This put Levi at Lucifer’s mercy.
“We’re doomed! Looks like we’re not going to survive today!” Levi lamented.
Within such a short time, he couldn’t come up with any countermeasures at all.
Lucifer and his men were just overwhelmingly powerful.
There was little they could do that would make any difference.
“What are we going to do now?”
Sammy was seized by panic.
Soon, Lucifer had come face to face with Levi.
“Levi, prepare to say goodbye to the world! You’re as good as dead now!”
Lucifer wanted Levi to die the same way Bruce did.
As the tattoos on his body began to glow, he harnessed an insidious power to kill Levi with a single strike.
He wasn’t going to allow Levi any opportunity to live.
Realizing that his end was near, Levi closed his eyes in resignation.
In his mind, the silhouettes of his mother, Zoey, and Forlevia flashed across.
“Goodbye! This is the end.”
The Return of God of War Chapter 2134
Chapter 2134 Till Death Do We Part
Lucifer grinned, pleased to see Levi in that pathetic state.
He has given up!
It gave him immense satisfaction to be able to beat a man like Levi to the point of desperation, hopelessness, and surrender.
I, Lucifer, did it!
Just as he was about to deliver the final fatal blow on Levi, Levi suddenly opened his eyes and gave him a terrifying look.
Lucifer froze on the spot, the smile wiped off his face.
Oh no!
By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.
A man like Levi would never give up on his fight! He never did that in the past, was not about to do it at that moment, and would likely never do it even in the future.
It was true he was thinking about Emma, Zoey, and Forlevia, but it was not because he gave up his fight and was waiting for doom.
He was waiting to launch a surprise counter-attack at his final moment.
He had thrown caution in the wind and decided to go for the kill, even if that meant he would perish together with Lucifer.
That was the last thing he would do before his death, as Levi would never simply give up!
It was too late when Lucifer saw through Levi’s intentions.
Levi was about to sacrifice his own life in order to bring him down.
That was one of the most sinister skills in the Forbidden Technique.
Levi had gone out of his mind and had no regard for his own life anymore. It was obvious to everyone present, but there was nothing they could do to stop him.
Boom!
Levi clung onto Lucifer like a leech, and despite his best efforts, Lucifer could not get rid of Levi. He panicked and rained punches on Levi. Alas, even though Levi was bleeding profusely, he held on to Lucifer with all his might.
Bang! Bang!
Whenever a strike landed on Levi and inflicted a wound on him, a similar wound would appear on Lucifer’s body.
Lucifer experienced firsthand the horrors of the Forbidden Technique.
Levi was using his last remaining strength to take Lucifer down with him.
Bang, bang, bang!
It all happened in a split second, and before anyone realized what had happened, both Levi and Lucifer had collapsed onto the ground.
Both their bodies were laden with ugly raw wounds, but Levi went down with a triumphant smile. He had successfully killed Lucifer, even though it was with the heavy price of his own life.
Till the last moment, he had no regrets.
“Levi!”
“Lucifer!”
Sammy, Jester King, and the crowd shouted out in distress as the two men slumped on the ground, motionless.
“Levi has perished, but so has Lucifer…” Jester King reported to Scias.
“Useless bums! What a bunch of idiots! Levi was so badly injured, yet you gave him the chance to kill Lucifer?” Scias howled.
After a short pause, he suddenly added, “Wait a moment. Let me check on Lucifer! Oh, there is still hope! He is not beyond cure! Bring him back! But Levi, he is dead for sure!”
Jester King hurriedly brought Lucifer away, totally ignoring Levi and Sammy.
“We’ll deal with Triple Group in the future! Saving Lucifer is our priority now!”
Soon, only two figures were left in the midst of the ruined site. Sammy was wailing next to the motionless body of Levi, whose eyes were closed, but the corners of his mouth were lifted as if he was smiling at his final moment.
When Lucifer was brought back to the Lab of Gods, Scias handed his body to the most terrifying doctor there, popularly known as Dr. Erebus.
Dr. Erebus, who was rumored to be able to save his patients from hell, checked on Lucifer and smirked, “To you, he is dead. But to me, he is still alive! I can perform a miracle and let him come back in another way even if he is dead!”
That was the precise reason why Scias told Bruce that so long as the bodies were intact, he could bring them back to life. It might not be life in its original form, but he could let them live on in another way.
Dr. Erebus was the one who started Project Genesis, and he was a truly terrifying but brilliant doctor.
It was something Levi had not predicted. Never in his wildest dream could he have known the man he killed at the expense of his own life would be revived!
Sammy brought over a doctor, and Levi was certified dead.
Unlike the staged death at Goldenport Island, this time, he was really dead, as he had fought with the intention of perishing together with Lucifer.
The Return of God of War Chapter 2135
Chapter 2135 He Must Live Beyond Us
Levi is dead!
Half a year ago, when that news came out from the battle at Goldenport Island, it created a huge uproar!
The Erudians mourned while his foes celebrated.
No one could imagine they would hear the same news again six months later.
What is happening?
Levi is dead?
Isn’t he dead long ago?
Why is this trending again?
Soon, many speculations and news surfaced.
People began to realize Levi actually did not perish during the battle at Goldenport Island. He had staged his own death and deceived everyone.
In fact, it was Levi who guarded the sunstone supply of Erudia and destroyed all of the Lab of Gods’ training bases around the world. The recent killings of Bruce and all the prominent leaders were also his works.
People were shocked to hear that he had been furiously protecting Erudia from harm and it was him secretly going against Bruce.
The divine generals of The Cardinal Hall finally understood why people said they were insignificant compared to Levi and why The Manifest Court insisted on them saving him at the last moment.
News also came out that the fighters of Lab of Gods made an unexpected return to Keerea and caught Levi off-guard. He finally died after being poisoned and ambushed by many elites. However, even with his last breath, he took down a mighty foe with him.
Azure Dragon and his team were devastated by the news as they had thought he managed to keep safe after the Goldenport Island incident.
Sammy was too overwhelmed with grieve, and the fact that Triple Group had found out she had committed the grave crime of hiding Levi did not matter to her anymore. She would give up anything to bring Levi back to life.
The high-rank officials of Triple Group decided to destroy Levi’s body and forcefully brought Sammy away from it.
Unexpectedly, a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere and declared, “Don’t you dare touch him!”
In the blink of an eye, the man disappeared together with Levi’s body, right in front of them!
“What is that? What is happening?”
It was too unreal for them, and they couldn’t believe their eyes! The man was so quick that they did not even have time to take a good look at his face before he took off with Levi’s body.
It was Fiery Demon who took away Levi!
After he heard about the killing of Bruce, he had been keeping an eye on Levi. However, after he saw Levi was safe, he left. No one had expected that the Lab of Gods would turn back and go after Levi again.
“You can’t die!” Cyrus cried out in desperation to Levi’s body.
Soon, a group of people rushed in. They were from the Ancient Clans.
They had rushed over after being notified by Cyrus.
“Is… is that him?” They looked at Levi with doubt.
“Search his body! we may find some evidence!” Cyrus said.
One of the men gingerly searched Levi’s body and found the black seal.
Plop! Plop!
The sight of the black seal brought all the men to their knees, and they were crying tears of joy!
That seal meant a lot to all of them, and they would willingly give up their lives for the person holding that seal!
“It is real! This time it is for real!” they shouted in excitement.
“Save him! We have to save him!” Cyrus yelled.
“Yes! We have to save him. Regardless of the cost, we have to save him!”
“One thing is for sure, even if we all die, he cannot die!”
Levi’s condition was so bad that they were pulling their hair out trying to figure a way to revive him.
Without any delay, they started working on it.
“Huh? Strange! He…” Soon, a man found something weird about Levi.
“What is wrong? What happened?” The rest crowded over anxiously
The Return of God of War Chapter 2136
Chapter 2136 The Terrifying Powers Of Forbidden Technique
“This is impossible!” the man shouted.
He was from the Ancient Clans and had exceptional medical knowledge and skills.
“What is wrong?” His reaction puzzled the rest of the group.
“He was dead a while ago, but he seems to be breathing again! His body is self-healing!” the man exclaimed in shock.
“That is impossible!”
“So he is not dead?”
The men were elated by the surprising revelation.
“Oh, wonderful! That is simply wonderful!”
“No, something is not right! This is unbelievable! Not only is he reviving, but he also seems to be coming back stronger and more formidable, like a phoenix rising from the ashes!” the man marveled.
Everyone stayed still, and true enough, they too, felt a growing vitality exuding from Levi.
How is this possible?
Not only did he survive, but he is coming back stronger?
Who can explain this?
“What is happening? All of you are learned men, so can any of you explain what is happening?”
The men looked at one another puzzledly, unable to give a reasonable explanation of what they were witnessing.
“Forbidden Technique! He used the Forbidden Technique!”
“Oh yes! I have heard about a skill in Maestro’s Forbidden Technique that requires one to perish with the foe!” a man shared.
Then he added, “But that was to be used only as a last resort! I heard it wasn’t really about perishing with your foe, but more like a test to see if one really had the determination to do so. Most people would not dare to try it, as not many had that kind of courage to make such a drastic move. However, once you go beyond that point, it was not death but a renewed life that greets you!”
The man took a look at Levi and declared, “He had just proven it works!”
“Oh, that is great! It is wonderful that he is alive!”
No one expected Lucifer to be brought back to life, but Levi’s revival was even more unexpected.
A few divine generals were kneeling in front of The Manifest Court at The Cardinal Hall.
“Masters, you knew Levi was alive, didn’t you?” they asked.
“Yes,” came the reply
“Why did you not tell us earlier?” they asked, baffled.
An angry voice boomed from The Manifest Court’s building, chiding, “Do we have to explain ourselves to you?”
“No, no, no! We are just perplexed over this!” The divine generals’ faces paled, and they hurriedly explained.
Indeed, even the divine brigadier had no right to question these mighty men, so they were overstepping their boundaries.
“Seniors, we just received news that Levi had really died this time. The Lab of Gods…” News traveled fast, and it had reached the ears of The Manifest Court.
“We already knew about that. Well, that is his fate, so there is nothing we can do about it. We can only pray that Erudia will have more men like him!”
“You have seen the might of Lab of Gods, so you know how horrifying they are.”
“You are nothing compared to them now, so better buck up! We don’t want to be going around clearing up the mess you leave behind!”
“Yes, we understand!” the divine generals fearfully replied.
After the divine generals left, the elderly men could be heard discussing, “So it is the Forbidden Technique! It has resurfaced!”
“Will he die?”
“That would be almost impossible!”
Back at the Lab of Gods, Jester King was asking, “The Ancients Clans have been very active recently. What brought them out?”
“Yes, I noticed that too. Those old men I used to know have made unexpected appearances recently. It is indeed rare!”
“It is not easy to get information from these men. They are all tight-lipped and will not divulge anything!”
“That is why we have to speed up! We have to move a step ahead of them in order to maintain control over the situation,” Scias said.
Jester King fell into silence.
What Scias had mentioned were the secretive future plans of the Lab of Gods, which not many people were privy of.
“Come over. I have a new mission for you. See to it immediately!” Scias suddenly recalled something and gave Jester King a new order.
The Return of God of War Chapter 2137
Chapter 2137 My Mysterious Master
Jester King left immediately upon receiving Scias’ new instructions.
Not too long after, the lab announced that Lucifer had been revived.
It was Dr. Erebus who performed the miracle and brought Lucifer back from the brink of hell.
“Death is not in his vocabulary!” Scias crowed.
“Now, time for me to start my project!” he concluded and washed his hands off all other matters to focus on the mysterious project he mentioned. Details of that project were top secret, but one could almost be sure it would be nothing short of crazy.
“Huh? I am still alive?” Levi woke up and found himself with a stronger body and greater prowess.
This is strange! Oh, it must be the Forbidden Technique!
He immediately thought of the most powerful skill of the Forbidden Technique, which he used during his fight with Lucifer.
So in actual fact, he had misunderstood it. The technique was not meant to kill oneself together with one’s foe, but to help one get out of the most desperate and dangerous situation. It was actually Reversero in its most extreme form. When his body was inflicted with the most deadly injuries, he came back with the most prowess!
He had finally deciphered the secret of the Forbidden Technique!
Levi was, of course, elated to be alive.
“Hahaha, who would have thought I would still be alive! Hahaha…” he laughed out loud.
At that moment, he realized how much he treasured and missed his family and compatriots…
“Wait! Someone is out there?” He abruptly stopped laughing when he sensed there were people outside of his room.
When he pushed open the door, he was taken aback by the scene that greeted him.
There were a few hundred people kneeling in front of his room!
What is this?
Levi was dumbstruck by the sight.
“What are you…?” he couldn’t help but ask.
“We have been waiting for you to wake up!” the crowd chorused.
“Waiting for me to wake up? So you were the ones who saved me?” he responded.
“No, we did nothing much. It is mainly your own credit, Maestro! To be more precise, it is because you executed the Forbidden Technique!” someone replied.
Levi was shocked that they knew about the Forbidden Technique and wondered if they were the trouble his mentor had warned him about if he used the Forbidden Technique.
“Who are you?” Levi could not hold back his curiosity.
He was pretty sure they were not his foes, as he would not be alive if they were. Also, his foes would not be there guarding him when he was in a coma.
“Hope you will allow us to ask you a question first. May we know how you get that black seal?”
Instantly, the few hundred pairs of eyes were on Levi, all filled with anticipation.
“My mentor gave it to me!” Levi blurted out.
However, he immediately corrected himself by adding, “No, to be more specific, I see him as my mentor. He had never acknowledged me as a disciple, nor does he like me to address him that way!”
Plonk!
As soon as the crowd heard his reply, they all started bowing down and prostrated themselves at him.
“Respect to Heaven and Earth!”
“Respect to The Holy Seal!”
“Respect to Maestro!”
Levi knew they were bowing and showing respect to him because of his mentor, but he was still surprised they were showing him so much reverence even though he had already told them his mentor had never accepted him as a disciple!
“But…”
“No! The fact that Maestro handed the holy seal to you and taught you the Forbidden Technique meant you are his apprentice! And you are the one and only, as he had never accepted anyone before!”
“Yes, you are his heir! The black seal is proof of that!”
“We all acknowledge you as his heir, and everyone else will too!”
From their chatters, Levi confirmed his earlier guess that they were there because of his mentor. He also came to know they were from the Ancient Clans from all over the world.
Some of the clans had been in existence since time immemorial, but they had kept a low profile so they were not widely known to the public.
Many were as established as Eragon, and some even dated back to before The Cardinal Hall was set up!
“So, in short, who exactly is my mentor?”
The Return of God of War Chapter 2138
Chapter 2138 Almost A God
That was the question that had been on Levi’s mind for the longest time.
Seeing how the Ancient Clans became so emotional over his mentor, he couldn’t help but become more curious about the mysterious man who made him who he was.
The power to mobilize these Ancient Clans added to the many mystiques surrounding his mentor. The Ancient Clans obviously knew who he was, so that was Levi’s chance to find out more about him.
“You don’t know who he is?” the crowd looked at him with bewilderment written all over their faces.
“He had never told me his real identity, so I really have no idea who he is!” Levi confessed.
Those members of the ancient clans exchanged knowing glances, then concluded, “We are not surprised, given how he had always been. We would find it more suspicious if you said he told you everything!”
“Actually, we don’t know much about him either, Maestro. We are in no position to probe and would not dare to question either!”
“He is an enigma! During our times, he had a God-like presence. All of us present here had benefitted from his graciousness and help in one way or another!”
“Yes! Without him, our clan would have disappeared a long time ago. He is our savior!”
“Ditto! For so many years, we had been yearning to meet him in person!”
“He is the idol our clan pays respect to! Our clan will hold him in our heart eternally!”
Levi had totally underestimated how zealous those people were. They had so much adoration for his mentor that they resembled a group of fanatic fans.
It was almost impossible for Levi to imagine what his mentor might have done to win such devotion from these Ancient Clans.
Their reactions added more questions to his mind. He wondered what his mentor was like during their era, and also how he would compare to the creme de la creme of Levi’s era.
Despite his repeated probes, he could not get any useful information about his mentor’s identity.
He was also a mystery to the Ancient Clans. He had a fleeting presence in their lives, although those brief encounters were enough to drastically alter their fate, and hence their intense devotion to him.
“Maestro, do you know we had always wanted to serve under him? Alas, we were too insignificant and not qualified to do so.”
“If he ever let out a word that he wants a slave or servant, many old folks like us will come flocking from all corners of the world to fight for the honor to be one!”
“I cannot imagine the queue of people wanting to serve him and to have him as their master!”
“We can only say he is God!”
“There is no God in this world, but to us, he is!”
Levi was once again taken aback by the reverence they had for his mentor.
Crazy! These people are crazy!
He could not imagine how powerful the man they called God was!
“We know it is beneath you to be called Maestro, as you are the heir to God! But please allow us to address you with that insignificant title, as we could not think of a better title.”
“As for details of our savior, I’m afraid you will have to slowly find out more by yourself in the future. He probably did not want to burden you with the truth, so you would not have to face too much danger and troubles.”
It was obvious to Levi that these people knew much more about his mentor but were unwilling or unable to divulge much. It would be up to him to do further investigations.
There was one thing Levi was certain though. These people had pledged their allegiance to him and would obey his every command. If Levi were to get into any trouble, they would immediately rush over to assist him.
A word from him and the international community of Ancient Clans would obey without question.
That was definitely the blessing that came out of that episode. He had a slightly better understanding of his mentor and had gained a solid group of supporters.
The last person to come up to Levi was Cyrus.
“Please do not worry about your mother. I have brought her out of danger, and she is in a safe place now. I can bring you to her right this moment!” he said.
“You have the same skills as I, so you must be related to my mentor too. You let me off the other time because you saw the black seal, right?” Levi had a better understanding of the situation at that point in time, so he had a fairly accurate guess.
“Yes,” Cyrus nodded.
“Tell me about you and my mentor. I want to know your secrets,” Levi requested.
The Return of God of War Chapter 2139
Chapter 2139 The Secrets Of Fiery Demon
Actually, Levi was more interested to find out why Cyrus set up The Dark Sun, and what grudges he had against the martial arts world of Erudia.
He was also curious why Bruce trusted Cyrus so much and what made Cyrus suddenly vanish from the public’s eyes during his heyday. There were too many missing pieces of puzzles in Cyrus’ story.
“Actually Maestro, no, I mean God, was the one who gave me my new life! Just like the other people you met earlier, he had given all of us a new lease of life!”
Cyrus was extremely emotional when he talked about Levi’s mentor. The gratitude and awe he had were deep in his heart.
Levi quietly listened on, not wanting to interrupt him.
“I was from Eragon!” Levi’s jaw dropped upon hearing that from Cyrus.
What…? He is from Eragon? Fiery Demon is from Eragon?
That was a shocking revelation that would create an international uproar if it was made known!
“Please go on!” Levi hid his surprise and urged.
“Eragon and The Cardinal Hall had unimaginable strict regulations. To ensure a pure bloodline, members were not allowed to marry outside of the group. Disobedience meant death!” Cyrus shared.
“My mother was an outsider, a commoner. She and my father met, fell in love, and gave birth to me. Under the strict regulations, both of them were condemned to death. As my father was from one of the marginal lineages, he never had a fighting chance, so both of them were doomed,” he continued.
“Not only did Eragon and The Cardinal Hall destroy everything I had, but they also wanted to eliminate me. They disabled me by severing my martial veins. At my darkest moment, it was God who appeared and saved me. He even taught me skills, which was what you learned too – Reversero and the pursuit of extreme power and speed.” That clearly explained why Cyrus had the same skills as Levi, and thus could easily impersonate him.
“From then on, I vowed to make them pay for their crime! I want them to realize what a huge mistake they had made. That was the beginning of the Era of Fiends. I had Thirteen Fiends under me. My aim was to be a superpower, to make them fear me and be threatened by our existence.” At that point, Cyrus became downcasted, and continued gloomily, “However, in the end, I realized the power I had was insignificant in the eyes of those people. The Era of Fiends meant nothing to them, and despite all I did, they were not even slightly bothered by my presence.”
“Is that why you chose to disappear then?” Levi asked.
“Yes. I thought I was able to stand up against them, but sadly I was proven wrong. That is why I chose to leave Erudia and disappear from the public’s eyes,” Cyrus confessed.
However, he added, “Despite the setback, I will never give up on seeking revenge for my family! The Cardinal Hall and Eragon will forever be my arch enemies. All these years, I persisted in trying to shore up my strength and influence. I want to be able to confront them someday!”
“So you set up The Dark Sun to go against the martial arts world of Erudia, and framed me to create an internal rift among us? All in the name of revenge?” Levi looked at him coldly and asked.
“Yes. They were too powerful. I had to team up with others and resort to underhanded tactics in order to beat them.” Cyrus explained with a guilty look on his face.
“That is also the reason you worked with Bruce?”
Cyrus nodded and elaborated, “That’s right. I knew I would not be able to exact revenge on my own, so I had to make use of Bruce to reach my goal. As The Cardinal Hall was my nemesis, Bruce had never doubted my sincerity in working with him. When we were working together, Bruce received a lot of help from me. I was the one keeping an eye on The Cardinal Hall for him. It may be an impossible task for many people, but it was easy for me as I knew them inside out!”

Chapter 2140 A Visit To The Cardinal Hall
That explained why Cyrus was able to monitor The Cardinal Hall when Bruce entered Erudia to ship out the sunstones.
After hearing about Cyrus’ story, Levi found it was a simple case of revenge.
“It is not wrong of you to want to seek revenge for your family. However, you should not have brought harm to the innocent! If not for my special relationship with my mentor, you would not have stopped, right?” Cyrus submissively stood by as Levi lectured him.
“I would not stop you from seeking your revenge. However, from this moment on, if you were to do anything that brings harm to the innocent or threatens Erudia, I would not let you off!” Levi warned.
Cyrus nodded his head in agreement. Out of respect for Levi’s mentor, he would do anything Levi instructed him to do, even if it was at the expense of his own life.
“Oh, by the way, where am I now?” After coming to an agreement with Cyrus, Levi asked about his hiding place.
“We are still in Keerea, Maestro. We did not leave the country,” Cyrus replied.
Levi let out a resigned smile, amused by the fact that everyone seemed to have set up base in Keerea, bringing much chaos and trouble to this country.
After coming back from the brink of death, Levi missed his family very much and wanted to visit them.
He already knew the whereabouts of Zoey. She was with Sacred Organization, and according to Death Fiend, she was safe.
Levi planned to bring Zoey home after he met Emma and Forlevia.
Cyrus brought Levi to Emma’s hiding place, and they finally met.
“Let’s go, Mom! Let’s visit Evie!” Levi said.
Just like any other father, Levi missed his daughter very much.
He knew The Cardinal Hall was the safest place for her to be in at that moment. Under their protection, she could live a carefree life. Also, with their guidance, she could fully realize her potential and develop unparalleled prowess. That was the reason he chose to leave her there.
However, after his near-death experience, he realized how much he missed his daughter, so he had to see her again.
How could he meet Forlevia when no one knew where The Cardinal Hall was?
That may be a troubling hurdle for other people but with Cyrus by his side, that was no longer an issue for Levi.
Cyrus was from Eragon, and even though his family was from the marginalized lineage, he would still know where The Cardinal Hall was.
The Cardinal Hall, the most powerful martial arts organization of Erudia! Not only do they have the strongest combat capabilities, but they also held on to the trove of confidential information of Erudia.
It was a highly secretive place, comparable to the special zone #51 of Zarain and the Lab of Gods headquarter which held the top secrets of Zarain.
All these organizations held great influence over the world’s development. People knew about their existence but would not know where they were located.
Similarly, The Cardinal Hall and Eragon were the two top Erudian organizations others were desperate to uncover but had never succeeded.
At that moment, Levi made the historical step into The Cardinal Hall, and he was astounded by what he saw.
It was a futuristic town, quite contrary to the image of an ancient compound full of antiquated buildings that he had in mind.
The sight before his eyes was beyond his wildest imagination. The Cardinal Hall was a high-tech, futuristic, modern place!
The Cardinal Hall was not secluded and detached from the outside world. Quite the opposite, they were monitoring Erudia’s development with cutting-edge technology.
The fighters in The Cardinal Hall would most probably be a product of ancient wisdom and modern technology. With the latest and most advanced technology in their hands, they possessed the most powerful combat capabilities! That was how they managed to lead and control since ancient times, and it was easy to see them continue doing so in the future.
Cyrus could see the surprised look in Levi’s eyes, so he sighed and said, “Maestro, now you have seen it, you know why they are so powerful! No one will know exactly what capabilities they possess!”
At the entrance of The Cardinal Hall, Levi took a step into the compound and loudly announced, “Levi is here to pay a visit!”
