The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 2522

Chapter 2522 Fourth On The Divine Leaderboard By then, Karsten was fourth on the Divine Leaderboard. It was clear from the power he demonstrated that Daxon, Gabriel, Eustace, and the others were no longer a match for him. Only the mysterious top three still stood a chance. Since the situation was still uncertain, Karsten was elevated to fourth place for the time being. The change struck further fear into the hearts of many. Since the rankings were official, the rest of the Divine Leaderboard warriors knew that they were definitely weaker than Karsten. Worried that their powers would be absorbed, all of them hid in solitary training. The more secluded their hiding spot, the better. News had spread that Karsten was destroying factions one by one. Along the way, he sucked all their powers... When Wynona and the others realized it was Karsten who came to challenge them earlier, all of them almost collapsed in shock. She remembered how rude she was on that fateful day. My God! I wasn't aware he was that powerful, and that he was going around extracting everyone's powers. Luckily, Zoey and the rest were in solitary training. Or else, we would be done for! Neither one of us would have survived the encounter. Fear of Karsten, who was no different from a demon now, had plunged the entire world into a panic. After all, he was relentless in absorbing all his enemies' power. Nevertheless, Daxon and Gabriel were still relaxed. Even though they knew they were no match for him, they were aware of someone who wasn't afraid of Karsten. Hence, they continued with their lives as if nothing had changed. However, few others shared their knowledge. They had pinned their hopes on something remote, which was someone had gotten their hands on the Iron Golem Technique and had achieved mastery of it at Level Nine. In truth, the Iron Golem Technique and Divine Extraction Technique originated from the same person. The two techniques were not meant to suppress each other. Instead, they were used to strike a balance. It was a failsafe to prevent either one of the techniques from becoming undefeatable. Hence, if one had mastered the Iron Golem Technique, one could take on the Divine Extraction Technique. That was the reason why Lab of Gods had sent men to search for the Iron Golem Technique. They were well aware of the threat posed by the Iron Golem Technique to the Divine Extraction Technique. Therefore, they had wanted to get their hands on the Iron Golem Technique but failed. However, they got wind that the Iron Golem Technique was in Edmund's hands, and he was training to master it. Nevertheless, they were aware that the Iron Golem Technique was just as difficult to master as the Divine Extraction Technique. Certain obstacles would limit the user to Level Six, causing them to never break through to Level Seven, let alone Level Eight or Nine. Even if one was extremely talented and managed to solve all the problems one faced, the training process would still take too long. One would likely need decades to reach Level Nine. However, once one had overcome the problems of the Divine Extraction Technique, one could progress very quickly, as all one needed to do was to absorb more power. In fact, they achieved their objective in one month when they assumed it would have taken three. Therefore, Lab of Gods was not concerned about the Iron Golem Technique at all. No one would be able to train in it to the same level of mastery as the Divine Extraction Technique. Since it wasn't a threat, the Divine Extraction Technique would remain undefeatable. Even though everyone was well aware of this fact, they still remained hopeful. Without the Iron Golem Technique, Karsten would be unstoppable. Having enquired with The Cardinal Hall, one learned that Edmund had only reached Level Six and was still trying to stabilize his powers. Therefore, he would likely be sucked dry by Karsten before he could turn into a Golem. The uncertainty of Karsten's objectives, especially given his ruthlessness, brought fear and terror to everyone. It felt as if they were waiting for an impending disaster to happen. Meanwhile, at Garrison Industry, Azure Dragon worked tirelessly throughout the nights. Finally, he completed the data analysis after modeling for the peak of various techniques.
