Chapter 2878 Who Would Not Want To Be A Deity
As promised, Dr. Erebus heard a commotion after they went deeper in.
It was the sound of battle.
The spiritual energy exuded from that fight was overwhelming, and its scary effect had
spread out.
A battle as intense as that would get any animal in the forest to stay far, far away.
Nothing would want to get close.
Even from a distance, Dr. Erebus and Levi could see how hundreds of fighters had
surrounded three mutated wolves.
The spiritual energy had turned the wolves into unstoppable beasts that were stronger
than anyone could imagine.
Unfortunately, the three wolves were fighting more than a hundred young fighters. They
were reasonably wounded and bled endlessly as though they were on the verge of dying.
The young fighters, on the other hand, were laughing boisterously.
They were celebrating the fact that they were given extraordinary power and were going
to accomplish their mission of killing the wolves.
Levi looked a little upset as he wondered what they were doing.
Dr. Erebus could tell what Levi was thinking, so he explained, “Monsters like those have

sensitive to the outburst of spiritual energy and could grow to be stronger.
“It is also why their bodies are precious commodities. Their blood, skin, horn… everything
is powerful, and the spiritual energy only made them work even better. In a way, their
blood is like medicine from heaven. Drinking it will strengthen a person’s body and make
that person stronger.
“I’ve heard rumors about how many people have snuck into restricted areas to kill beasts
like the ones over there their unique properties.
“Their blood, for instance, contained saturated spiritual energy and could make others
stronger. Their skins can make unbreakable armor that are sturdier than the ones from
Zarain. Those horns can also be shaped into a weapon that could break through anything.
“That is why these beasts are being targeted and hunted. Naturally, that fate is only
limited to beasts that are less powerful. Many beasts have turned into something as
powerful as the deities. Heck, some are even stronger than deities. For now, we have an
idea of how many and how powerful those deities are, but we know relatively little about
the powerful beasts.”
While it’s true that many had received incredible power after the world’s environment
changed, it still didn’t change the fact that humans were greedy.
They weren’t satisfied with what they already had.
In fact, every fighter wanted to become a deity at the time.
The only way to do that was to keep strengthening themselves and absorbing more
spiritual energy.
There were, however, some shortcuts to it.
An example of such shortcuts was to consume certain precious resources.
That was why many organizations sent out their young fighters to hunt the beasts to
collect more precious resources.
The youngsters standing in front of Levi and Dr. Erebus were some fighters in Jeradus that
had more potential.
It didn’t take long before those youngsters saw Levi, and that prompted them to raise
their guard.
Almost thirty of them glared at Levi and the others.
They instinctively assumed that Levi was there to fight them and snatch the beast away.
We are the ones who beat these abominations to their last breaths, and they’re on the
verge of dying. Did these people show up to snatch the beasts from us?
There was no way those youngsters would let anyone take their prize away.
“We’re the ones who beat this beast up, so you lot better leave now. Don’t even think
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabout trying anything funny or we’ll kill you!”
The youngsters were quick to spew their threats.
If they weren’t worried about the three wolves sneaking away while they were fighting the
intruders, they would’ve already attacked Levi.
The latter didn’t bother to respond to them, though.
He walked right past them because he wasn’t interested in the wolves at all.
Those animals were far too meek, especially when compared to the beast he had killed
earlier.
Hence, he led the others and circled around.
The youngsters sneered upon seeing that. “I guess they weren’t blessed by spiritual
energy. That makes me a little curious about them, though.”
The youngsters came to that conclusion because almost everyone had traces of spiritual
energy on them. The only difference was that some had more energy while others had
less.
However, there were no traces of anything on Levi or Dr. Erebus.
That meant that they weren’t exposed to spiritual energy.
Levi and the others didn’t know how long they had been walking, but they eventually
reached a cliff.
“Look, over there!” gasped Dr. Erebus.
