    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 uing 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 nning.


    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. Thetter 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


    be 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 anyonee


    up with ways to help his enemy be 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 be 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 thetter. 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 n 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 n,


    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 exin 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 exnation for that. The Dark Emperor is actually trying to butter Karsten up. The


    former is giving gifts to get on thetter’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.”
