The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 3167

Chapter 3167 A Long Night They would do a headcount of all of the Deities in Xyperia and the Elterton Union on the highlands of Elterton and show the rest of the world their trump card without inhibition. Their Deity set equipment and even Super Deities were also to be put out on full display. This time, Xyperia would be withholding nothing. They had no fear of revealing the ace up their sleeves because they knew that even if the entire world knew what they had in hand, there was nothing that anyone would be able to do about it. What have you got to stand against such overwhelming prowess? The shock factor was the first strategic move they were making against the rest of the world, and then, they would go on to dominate them all, one after the other! Those who yield would thrive, while those who defy us shall perish! When word of that went out, the entire world reacted with horror! Xyperia was going to make an example of Levi to demonstrate their awesome might! Deeply worried that the rest of them would find themselves in the crosshairs once Xyperia was done with him, many began to kick themselves for not joining up with the Elterton Union previously. There were also a group of observers who variously delved into speculation of the number of Deities Xyperia had because the last time news broke, it was revealed that they had around a hundred thousand. The truth was, nobody could know for sure, because their Deities were being created at such an unprecedented pace, and with ample resources and polished techniques, they could create Deities whenever they pleased. On top of everything, their ranks were boosted by the addition of the Elterton Union which had been largely overlooked by all before. Some speculated that their Deities must number around a hundred and fifty-thousand, while others boldly proposed that it might be closer to the region of a terrifying two-hundred thousand. That had everyone petrified, but conversely, it had them looking forward to the next day as well. The possibility of some surprise Levi might be able to spring on them from his end aside, the prospect of Xyperia carrying out a roll call with their Deities was exciting enough to make some lose sleep over it. It was going to be a long night for almost everyone, seeing that there had a considerable buildup heading into whatever was to transpire tomorrow. With their appetites whetted, they were brimming with anticipation, and that was why none of them were able to catch any shut-eye while Levi snored away. Dr. Erebus was out and about for he would not be able to work off that excess energy otherwise, but there were also others who were quite unenthusiastic about the events on the horizon. For instance, Zarain's backers. What business is it of ours how strong you are? They opined that they would be able to crush them like a lame bird, regardless. There were others who were nonchalant about it as well, namely, Erudia's Ecclesiastic Order, who were more interested in seeking out talents with spiritual bone. The Heavenly League, especially, had long since been on many of the Ecclesiastic Order's factions' watch lists. Comprising exclusively of Deities and having had discovered many new talents previously, it was expected that attention would be drawn to themselves. On top of it, those within the Heavenly League, too, were brimming with potential as they possessed the finest spiritual bones. It was no different over on Edmund's end. Chiefly, it was the incomparable quality of the spiritual bone of Azure Dragon and his crew that garnered the most attention, so much so that those factions almost came to blows over them. It was one thing to desire to groom the Azure Dragon quintet, but the phenomena of people starting fights over the spiritual bones on Azure Dragon and his crew could be traced back to the extremist elements that Sonja and her contemporaries spoke of back in the day. Those people had no interest in grooming Azure Dragon and the others, as all they wanted was to extract the spiritual bones from them and had these transplanted onto themselves. In the beginning, Sonja and her peers insisted that these people were in the minority. However, it was revealed upon the discovery of the highest grade of spiritual bone in the likes of Azure Dragon and the others that the numbers of those who harbored that notion could be greater, or even drastically more significant than it was initially believed. Many had already arrived in droves to conduct tests on the Azure Dragon quintet's spiritual bones, and when they did, it only fueled the former's obsession to extract them. The quality of Azure Dragon and his crew was much better than they expected, and had they not been wary of being seen by the numerous eye-witnesses present, they might already have struck.
