The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 2538

Chapter 2538 They Are Worried

Almost everyone stayed after Karsten had left.

That was understandable since someone else would take their seats as soon as they leave.

What happened next was the endless arguments and battles.

That was how things were when martial artists ruled the world.

In the meantime, Levi started dozing off.

Zoey and the others were trying to figure out the issues with their own fighting skills while waiting for the upcoming battle.

They couldn’t be like Forlevia and forge her own unique path, after all.

They truly wanted to know what the Cardinal Hall was planning.

Why is Queenie making us wait here?

At Lab of Gods…

“We finally learned the truth, Mr. X. Karsten postponed the fight and left because Dark Emperor…”

Lucifer reported all of his findings to Mr. X.

“What? A crystal with energy surging out of it? That has got to be something from Restricted Area 76,” blurted Mr. X in astonishment.

He jumped suddenly.

“Yes, that is likely the case. More than that, Dark Emperor has opened the door to Restricted Area 76 for Karsten. The latter can absorb as much energy as he wants,” replied Lucifer.

“Huh? Has Dark Emperor gone insane? I have never met anyone like this before. Helping his enemy become stronger and giving Karsten a crystal that is so precious. What is going on?”

Mr. X and the others found that to be unbelievable.

He’s right. Killfinger and the new head of the ancient Garrison Clan aren’t here. Can Dark Emperor really speak on their behalf? It’s not possible. They never cast their votes, so something must be off.

“Mr. X, have you deduced what is going on?” asked Lucifer.

“If those two never showed up but somehow agreed to Dark Emperor’s arrangement, then it can only mean one thing. They are scared. It’s not just Killfinger and the head of the ancient Garrison clan, though. The Dark Emperor is scared too. They know how unique and terrifying the Divine Extraction Technique is, and they know that they can’t beat Karsten. They might even be drained, so they kept hiding away and refused to show up.”

When Lucifer heard that, he asked, “But that doesn’t explain Dark Emperor’s actions. Why would he give Karsten the crystal and open up Restricted Area 76?”

Everyone turned to Mr. X.

“There’s only one explanation for that. The Dark Emperor is actually trying to butter Karsten up. The former is giving gifts to get on the latter’s good side!

“You see, the crystal contained a terrifying amount of energy, and most would only be able to absorb a smidge of that energy. “The Divine Extraction Technique is different, though. “It can fully absorb the energy in the crystal. “Dark Emperor is aware of that, and that is why he gave Karsten the crystal.

“The truth, however, is different.”
