Chapter 2366 A Shocking Discovery
“However, we couldn’t seem to pinpoint its origin. It was as though it appeared out of nowhere, and that the world had changed in just a split of a second! Ordinary men turned into fighters and men with superpowers overnight while fighters saw immense improvement. We were stumped as to when it all happened either. The world just changed all of a sudden…
“Well, if we want to pinpoint an exact time, we would have to say that it was after Levi had disappeared. The world seemed to have undergone an abrupt change after that. Only Lab of Gods and Lucifer were active for a year or so while the others just seemed to have vanished…”
There was nothing normal about the change.
The world turned upside down after Levi was gone.
Techniques which could be cultivated and perfected in a short time sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
A myriad of biotechnology and drugs seemed to have appeared out of thin air too, as well as other technology that seemed decades ahead of its time.
How was that possible? Where did it all come from?
Obviously, the only viable explanation was that someone was manipulating the situation behind the scenes.
Levi thought the same as well, thinking that there were dark forces who were playing the situation to their advantage.
He assumed that it was Lab of Gods who were behind it all and that the dawn of a new era was their doing.
“We took advantage of the dawn of a new era to destroy Lab of Gods combined with outer forces. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult for us to accomplish the deed,” lamented the high-rank officials of Maya Industries.
The dawn of a new era had provided them an opportunity of a lifetime to destroy Lab of Gods.
Levi shook his head in resignation and snickered to himself. “You guys have been fooled. The dawn of the new era was the doing of Lab of Gods.”
He would even go as far as to say that the dawn of a new era was an experiment of Lab of Gods.
Their aim was to take control of the whole world.
Kirin and Floyd had been manipulated by them as well, and Levi would even say that they were Lab of Gods’ lab rats.
To put it another way, Lab of Gods could easily take their lives whenever it pleased them.
The return of Lab of Gods would spell disaster to all of them.
Moreover, Lab of Gods would not have accommodated the betrayal of a bunch of traitors.
It was an absurd idea, to say the least.
People used to question the defeat of Lab of Gods back then.
However, nobody seemed to question the credibility of the news ever since Levi had assumed the role of Dark Emperor.
His absolute strength had wiped out all suspicions.
It had been a fruitful trip for Levi, for not only did he finally understand the origins of Maya Industries, but it had further cemented his idea that Lab of Gods was truly the mastermind behind the dawn of the new era.
So, his next move would be to curate his defense against Lab of Gods.
“Dark Emperor, to showcase that we’re sincere in this collaboration proposal, we’d like to divulge one more secret to you…” the chieftain of Maya Industries said.
“Huh? What secret?”
Levi was stumped.
There’s more to this?
“Dark Emperor, I believe you’re aware of our indigenous forest tournament challenge, right? We’re trying to gather the attack styles of different parties. More than half of the data of the tournament challenge has shown that the fighters participating in this challenge derive from the same origin, albeit differing in some really minor ways.”
Levi was visibly taken aback by the revelation. “So, are you saying that they’re practicing the same technique?”
Floyd and the others had shared their technique books with Levi, but he had not taken the time out to check them out.
“Yes, it’s something that could be cultivated in a short time. However, the technique will come biting back at the practitioner after reaching a certain level. In the end, it will lead to the ultimate destruction of the practitioner.”
Levi was thunderstruck.
“What? It will lead to the ultimate destruction of the practitioner?”
All colors drained from his face.
Does this mean that the fast track technique that Zoey and Kirin practiced will ultimately lead to their own destruction? I have to stop them!
“Great, let’s work together. I will list my conditions later.”
Levi was eager to collaborate with them.
Then, he hurriedly headed back to his place.
He went back not as Dark Emperor but as Levi.
“Zoey, gather everyone right now. I have something major to announce. Hurry!”
