Chapter 3356 Too Many Variables

“We’d stay our hand if they aren’t equal to the task, and only assist in the killing of Levi if

they are!”

“Yes! That way, we’d basically have everything to gain and nothing to lose!”

“Let’s not send too many people there! That way, Master would not become too upset

with us if he were to find out!”

The Cetus’ involvement could be considered firm as they would be sending out ten of their

finest elites to watch from the shadows and intervene at the most opportune moment.

Those ten elites in question were head and shoulders above those they had sent out

against Levi earlier, with each of them also wielding divine tools of the Cetus.

They had neither the courage nor the desire to face Levi head-on but were absolutely

competent as assassins to launch sneak attacks at Levi or toss in a stab or two from the

dark.

Gloria, too, had gotten wind of the news that the Cetus would be partaking in her plans.

The one thing that did bug her about it was that she had no clue whatsoever as to when

they might opt to strike.

In spite of having ways and means of infiltrating the major factions of the Ecclesiastic

Order, she had no similar access to the Cetus. Hence, their thought strains remained

completely outside of her estimations.

On the flip side, the Cetus must surely be taking the stealthy route as a result of having

their asses kicked previously by Levi.

Though Gloria had no idea when or how they would act, that element of unpredictability

would similarly translate to Levi’s inability to read their next moves and was, as such,

precisely what she needed.

This is what would pose the biggest threat to Levi.

Coupled with the assassins and elites she hired from Yartran operating from the shadows,

she felt the odds further tilted in her favor…

No one could have expected Gloria to be the real mastermind behind the plotting of Levi’s

assassination.

Outside of Gloria herself, there was also the threat of the mysterious power controlling the

Miracle Doctor from before.

From the time they learned of Levi’s strength, they became fearful of reprisal. Being

deeply afraid that Levi might come knocking, they had been keeping a low profile ever

since.

Though he had, indeed, been searching for them, they were in no way a priority of his at

present.

How could he concern himself with them, with everything else on his plate?

The lot of them would already have been sniffed out long before had he so desired, and

they knew as well as anyone what fate awaited should he ever lay his hands on them.

That was why they dreaded the day that Levi might locate them.

In spite of that, when word reached them that the Ecclesiastic Order were secretly plotting

to move against Levi, the lot of them were quickly enthused.

That, they opined, had to be the turning point for them, for the best way to avail

themselves of their fears was to eliminate Levi himself.

Of course, they themselves lack the wherewithal to pull that off, but with the Ecclesiastic

Order now in the mix, they had a real shot at doing away with Levi and likely the best one

they could ever ask for.

In their esteem, it was without question that they must join forces with the major factions

of the Ecclesiastic Order to take Levi out, as it was only with his death that their woes

might be addressed for good.

As much as that was another unknown variable, it was also a tremendous source of power

that could only pile on the pressure on Levi from that end exponentially.

Yartran was also secretly on the move. This time, opting for finesse over a frontal assault

as well.

Having seized control of Shield outright, they were in the process of infiltrating Erudia and

strategically positioning their pieces in advance as needed.

While all of that was taking place, Shield itself remained unaware, as the Black Hawk

would have informed Levi of that long before had they known any better.

Step by step, Gloria had her own machinations laid into place. Thus, the stage was set,

ready for the commencement of the attack.

There was a slight hitch though, in the form of Gloria’s inability to reach Floyd.

She still wanted to gather some intel on Levi’s current status, but Floyd had just seemed

to have vanished asudden in spite of not having left the base.

That worked to Gloria’s advantage, regardless, as her inability to reach him would, at the

minimum, suggest that he, alongside Forlevia, had been squirreled away somewhere by

Levi.

In view of that, Forlevia would remain safe even if Levi should fall, and she would

eventually still be able to get her hands on the girl through Floyd.

Very swiftly, the third day was upon them, and the Ecclesiastic Order had quietly

completed the amassing of the elite force from its multi-factional coalition.
