Levi Garrison: The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 2197

Chapter 2197 The Gathering Forces The rest of the men smiled. “I'm afraid we might even need to get in line to kill Zoey.” Edmund nodded. He knew that Donald and the Garrison clan were definitely out for Zoey's blood. Hence, they wouldn't even get the chance. Since Zoey was Erudia's public enemy, all the most powerful forces within the nation were looking to eradicate her in order to elevate their reputation. Everyone wanted a piece of the glory. Consequently, there was a queue just to kill her. Edmund had put everything in place for him to control the entire situation later. That night, everyone could visibly feel the Solaris Energy of the Skyward Sword emanate through the entire place. Even though they were covered deep in snow, no one felt a sliver of cold at all, making for a strange sensation. That very evening, innumerable factions had gathered for a bloody showdown. The next day, it was time for the Skyward Sword to emerge from the ground. One by one, many powerful factions assembled. They included the Garrison clan who was aiming to top them all. Standing aloof, Donald surveyed the crowd in a condescending manner. Behind him, were a group of fearsome-looking Garrison clan fighters. That day, he endeavored to obtain the Skyward Sword no matter the costs. By then, many factions, including the ten most powerful within Erudia, had arrived. Aside from the three families, the Ancient Clans were the most powerful of them all. The rest of the factions were similar to the Garrison clan, where they enjoyed the support of other Ancient Clans or powerful characters. Only then could they scale the heights of power. A good example was the Lehman family that used to be an imperial family of Oakland City. At that time, its patriarch, Dale Lehman, was Zoey's godfather. Now, the powers that were behind those families had emerged. Of course, there were many other new factions too, including alliances that were formed by powerful fighters. These alliances consisted of people whom Levi used to be close to such as Asura and Minka. With the arrival of the new era, many ancient families of the old who did well for themselves stood a better chance of success. Asura and Minka had become the era's most powerful fighters through various circumstances. Consequently, they formed the Erudian Alliance and became one of the ten most powerful factions in Erudia. In fact, they posed the biggest threat to Donald among the ten factions. However, once Donald got his hands on the Skyward Sword, they would no longer be a problem. After that, the Kings arrived at the scene. After the Lab of Gods had disappeared, they were the ones who took their place. Many of the factions were similar to the Lab of Gods. Their organizations were technology-centric and they wielded immense power and economic resources. Soon, the Triple Group also came. They too had developed at a rapid pace. With Maya Industries as their backer, they had become one of the most powerful factions globally. The representative of Maya Industries was also present. One by one, many powerful global factions made their appearances. The crowd cheered in excitement when they saw the presence of so many formidable fighters. However, many of the participants who came for the sword felt disheartened. At the sight of such powerful competitors, they knew they didn't stand a chance. The appearance of the Skyward Sword had attracted more than half of those on the Divine Leaderboard. Obviously, it left everyone else little chance of success. “Wow!” “Look!” Suddenly, the crowd's mood shifted amidst everyone's gasps. The four Progenitors from the vampire race had appeared, striking fear into everyone's heart. After all, legend had it that they could be defeated by the Skyward Sword. Therefore, they too have come to fight for it. “Look! The She-Devil, Zoey, is here!” the crowd exclaimed when they saw Zoey. Zoey had become infamous over the last three years. Hence, her appearance naturally created an uproar.
