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.
It was illogical, and none of that should be happening… unless Dark Emperor had gone
insane.
“Rumor is that Dark Emperor thought that Karsten is too weak, so the former wanted to
strengthen the latter. Dark Emperor wanted Karsten to reach Level Nine before they fight.
That’s how the rumor goes, and Dark Emperor is being described as someone who is
beyond incredible,” said Lucifer.
“That’s bullsh*t! Dark Emperor is strong, but he’s not insane. Think about it. Why would
anyone come up with ways to help his enemy become stronger? That would just make it
that much more difficult for Dark Emperor to defeat Karsten. Let me give you an example.
Think about Levi Garrison in his prime. We were definitely stronger than he was, but would
any one of us try to help him become stronger so that he can fight us?” questioned Mr. X.
Everyone shook their head.
“Of course not. We’re not idiots. Levi will not get even the slightest boost from us. He’ll
just use his newfound strength to attack us, and we’ll be his target.”
Mr. X nodded and pointed out, “Yes, that is how a normal human being would react. I am
sure Dark Emperor is not retarded, is he?”
“That’s not possible. He won’t be that powerful if he’s retarded,” replied the crowd.
“That means that something must be off,” said Mr. X.
He began analyzing the situation and said, “Let’s assume that Dark Emperor actually
thinks that Karsten is too weak and wants to boost the latter. What about the two other
fighters on the Divine Leaderboard? Do they also think that Karsten is too weak? They
never showed up, so how does anyone know what was in their mind?”
Mr. X’s words got everyone to think about the situation from another angle.
He’s right. Killfinger and the new head of the ancient Garrison Clan aren’t here. Can Dark

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.”
