Chapter 2404 Next Target Erudia
“It has something to do with the mutated zombies. The management of Maya Industries had mentioned before that mutated zombies were part of a project left behind by Dr. Erebus at the Lab of Gods. Initially, the experiment was supposed to be used on large beasts. Its objective was to create a body that is undying and indestructible. The mutated zombies were already quite the achievement, but they had yet to be perfected.”
Having heard Levi’s analysis, Death Fiend instantly understood what was going on.
“Therefore, they went to the ruins to obtain the Iron Golem Technique. If they managed to incorporate it into their experiments, they would be successful in creating something invincible. Hence, by getting their hands on the technique, they intend to strengthen their creation!”
“You’re right! Let me head to Maya Industries and check with them.”
Disguised as the Dark Emperor, Levi headed to Maya Industries to enquire.
The answer he received was that the Iron Golem Technique couldn’t be applied to mutated zombies.
However, the same couldn’t be said of the Lab of Gods’ project.
Considering how diabolical Dr. Erebus was, he might be able to find a use for it.
A clue! We finally found another lead!
From his investigations, Death Fiend found out that the people who caused the energy disturbance might be from the Lab of Gods.
“Continue with the investigations. I believe we will be able to find more clues soon!” Levi ordered.
The next few days that followed were uneventful.
Everyone was busy training with high intensity while Queenie stayed by Levi’s side.
From her observation, she didn’t find anything extraordinary about him.
As for Mia and Cyrus who were focused on training the basic techniques, they made no progress at all.
Cyrus, in particular, seemed to have grown weaker instead.
It felt as if he was about to die soon.
However, there was no way she could have known that it was a sign of progress. His situation was similar to when Levi was in the Prison of Darkness.
Therefore, Cyrus was already one step closer to success.
However, from that day on, news kept flooding in.
The warriors who obtained the techniques and drugs from the ruins earlier had finally trained and digested them.
Consequently, their strength increased significantly.
When they began to gradually appear in all corners of the world, the rankings in the Provisional and Divine Leaderboard went through a drastic change.
Levi who was placed last on the Divine Leaderboard had been suddenly relegated to seventeenth on the Provisional Leaderboard.
That was an indication that there were many new warriors who had leapfrogged ahead of him.
In truth, there were only thirteen fighters who entered the Divine Leaderboard.
The thirteen that were replaced fell back to the Provisional Leaderboard.
With some unable to make it into the Divine Leaderboard, they spilled into the Provisional Leaderboard and pushed Levi down to seventeenth place there.
It was a shocking development to everyone.
They were cognizant that this was the result brought about by the techniques and treasures found in the ruins.
In a blink of an eye, thirteen warriors were elevated to the Divine Leaderboard, while countless others were promoted to the Provisional Leaderboard.
The most terrifying development of all was that Hirai Musashi, the warrior who seized the Iron Golem Technique, was going around challenging Divine Leaderboard warriors all over Bayview.
By then, he was already ranked fiftieth on the Divine Leaderboard and was still rapidly ascending the ranks.
After challenging the Divine Leaderboard warriors of Raysonia, Keerea, and other neighboring countries, he finally broke into the top thirty.
By then, everyone was astounded.
Those in Erudia in particular knew how frighteningly powerful the Iron Golem Technique was.
Within a short span of time, Hirai had been catapulted over thousands of warriors in the Provisional Leaderboard into thirtieth place on the Divine Leaderboard.
In spite of that, everyone recognized that his true power went beyond the top thirty.
He was just taking his time with his challenges.
As time went on he would grow more familiar with the Iron Golem Technique and would naturally rise up the ranks.
Therefore, his true strength was comparable to the top-ranked fighter on the Divine Leaderboard.
Naturally, Hirai’s next target was Erudia.
