Chapter 2177 Three Years Later
A murderous air hung heavily around Zoey, scaring Mia and Wynona.
So this is the power of a fighter ranked on the Divine Leaderboard? Holy sh*t.
“Take the serum and run! I’ll hold her off!” Wynona shouted.
Left with no choice, Mia and the others took the serum and tried to leave, but Zoey went after them. “You’re not getting away…”
However, Wynona quickly stopped Zoey. Back when she was working with Garrison Industry, Wynona merged martial arts and modern technology to develop her body as much as she could. Thanks to that, she managed to secure a spot on the Divine Leaderboard.
However, she was still no match for Zoey, so she sustained heavy injury and was sent flying away easily.
Since she couldn’t stop Zoey, Mia and the others were quickly caught on. “Hand it over and I’ll let you live!” Zoey extended her hand.
Mia was terrified, but then she felt a group of powerful people coming her way. Apparently, the fighters from The Cardinal Hall had shown up, and they were led by Edmund himself.
“We’ve been waiting for you, Empress.” Edmund sneered.
One of his team members reported, “Sir, the Empress is Levi’s wife—Zoey!”
Edmund roared with laughter. “Look at you, Levi. You fought for Erudia all your life and took all the credit for yourself. But now your wife is nothing more than a killing machine!”
Zoey glared at Edmund murderously, wanting nothing more than to kill him, but then the Dark Emperor told her to retreat.
Zoey would never go against the Dark Emperor, so she escaped the scene, and easily as well. Even though Edmund and the fighters tried to hunt her down, they couldn’t find her.
“Hear my order! I hereby declare Zoey as the number one enemy on the wanted list! Show no mercy!” Edmund commanded.
Thanks to him, Zoey became the number one enemy of Erudia, and anyone who saw her could kill her without any questions asked. “You have saved everyone, Levi, but you couldn’t save your own wife. What a joke. Let’s see if you’ll kill her.” Edmund smiled.
Forlevia grew up safely within the walls of The Cardinal Hall. Over the years, she turned out to be an adorable and powerful girl, much to the delight of the elders.
“If she keeps this up, she can hold her own in a year.”
The elders smiled happily.
“But do we really have to send her away? She’s a good kid, and it’s so dangerous out there. I don’t want her to get hurt.” Celia loved Forlevia too much, so she was reluctant to let her go.
“No. She can only become stronger by being thrown to the sharks. These walls can’t protect her forever. But before that, we’ll have to teach her everything she needs to know so she can pull her own weight.”
None of the elders wanted Forlevia to go. Most of the time, their lives were nothing but boring canvases. However, Forlevia’s presence brightened up their otherwise drab lives, and they were all smiles since then.
……
Time went on, and the world kept changing. More and more ancient dungeons were discovered, and more and more ancient clans showed up. Because of that, wars were everywhere.
Everyone was getting stronger at a blistering pace, and even more so than ever.
…
Three years passed by, and the whole world changed. A new era was dawning on mankind, changing the power landscape almost every year.
If someone were to isolate themselves for three years, they’d think they were on another planet after they came out.
Much to the Dark Emperor’s surprise, Levi had gone into solitary training for two years, but still, he wouldn’t wake up.
What is he doing? Is he mad? It’s been three years. He’s been locked up for three years!
