The Return of the God of War Chapter 2828
Wasted Last Chance
Erudia and her allies had helped one another with the building of their respective Shelters.
They were completed a while ago and ready for use.
When they realized the situation warranted the use of those Shelters, they immediately
activated their emergency response plan.
The capacities of the Shelters were sufficient to cater to Erudia and her allies. As for the
rest of the world, they had to scramble to come up with alternative solutions.
“Based on the most optimistic estimates, we have less than ten hours before we have to
face the catastrophe. In the worst-case scenario, if the explosions are more powerful than
expected, then the spread will be rapid and we will have only six hours to prepare
ourselves!” the Dragonites gave the warning at the video conference, so everyone knew
the urgency of the matter.
The amount of time they had would depend largely on how much damage the two aircraft
could inflict on the super-spiritual ley line.
If they only managed to crack it a little, then it would take roughly ten hours for the
destructive energy to spread from the South Pole to the rest of the world.
If the damage were to be greater, the destruction could reach every part of the world in no

The message the Dragonites had for the world was simple. If the chance of averting the
crisis was slim, then the top priority for everyone would be to make full use of the
remaining time to save whatever they could. Save whatever you can?
That very pessimistic advice caused everyone to go into panic mode.
At that moment, Levi, who was seated in Pengornis, suddenly detected some abnormality.
Boom!
A blinding bright object came shooting toward them. It was a glowing arrow.
Boom!
Levi gave out a powerful strike to fend it off, shattering it into fragments.
“What the hell is that for? This is not the time to stir up trouble!” Levi shouted in
exasperation.
He would not have been bothered by such sneak attacks normally. However, he was
attending to a matter that would determine the life and death of humankind, so he was
greatly peeved by such unnecessary distractions.
It was maddening to have to deal with such meaningless disruptions during that moment
of emergency.
Every second was precious in their bid to thwart the destruction of the super-spiritual ley
line, and Levi was not about to let anyone get in their way.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
More glowing arrows appeared in the horizon and came flying toward Pengornis.
“Get lost!” Levi howled.
He had no idea who was behind the attack. He only knew Pengornis was being delayed
and precious seconds and minutes were being lost.
Meanwhile, Black Hawk was facing some obstacles as well after ending his call with Levi.
When he requested permission to use Shield’s fastest aircraft, his request was shot down.
“Hold on now! This could be another of Levi’s cunning acts. Look at what he did to us
earlier! He swore he would kill Dr. Erebus and even help us track him down. But the next
moment, he went behind our back and took Dr. Erebus away!”
“That’s right. Levi is too sly and can’t be trusted! We are not sure if this is not another of
his ploys, so we have to do thorough investigations before we take any actions!”
Many people joined in to prevent Black Hawk from jumping into action.
If Black Hawk was being honest, he himself was not fully convinced that he was doing the
right thing. Deep in his mind, he also had the nagging suspicion that Levi was up to no
good. That Levi could very well be trying to cook up a tall story to distract everyone from
his betrayal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I think we should track Levi and see where he is heading.” Someone made the suggestion
just before the Dragonites began the international video conference.
However, the moment they saw Dr. Erebus appear online and heard his side of the story,
they began to waver.
The situation seemed to be genuinely dire and did not appear to be a deception by Levi.
Black Hawk instinctively knew something was not right, so he made a proposal. “Why
don’t we do this? You guys go ahead and track down Levi’s position while I make my way
to the destination. It’s better to play it safe and go to the rescue than to regret our
indecision later on.”
“Very well. I have already tracked him down. This is the current position of Pengornis.”
Without further delays, Black Hawk hopped into the pilot seat of Shield’s Lumiere I and
made his way toward Pengornis.
Lumiere I had a faster speed than Pengornis, so Black Hawk would have no problem
catching up with Levi.
However, much time had been wasted when he tried to get permission to use Lumiere I. If
Black Hawk had made his way straight to the South Pole, there could still be a chance he
could turn things around. The delay in setting off and the fact that he had to catch up with
Levi before heading to the South Pole meant precious minutes were wasted, and that few
moments were all that was needed to change the outcome.
