Everyone could tell he was absolutely livid... yet, no one anticipated any different reaction. Half-Bloods of opposite factions hated and fought against each other more than Oblivars and Radians did.
That’s why the most powerful Half-Oblivars were considered the Elite Conquerors sent to corrupt planets with the highest Life force Potential... who went against them? The Best of Saviors, which were mostly Half-Radians.
Hence, they saw each other as water and fire... a Half-Radian would share the same reaction if he saw Levi right now.
’Impressive... your little boyfriend has managed to piss off both Half-Bloods with his exposure.’ N’ibby said lazily, ’He is really asking for it.’
’It’s fine as long as he keeps this persona limited to the Boundless Expanse.’ Jasmine supported Levi regardless, ’I know him... If he wasn’t confident in maintaining his anonymity, he wouldn’t have dared to be this brazen.’
’It’s not hard to figure out what he did for entities like us.’ N’ibby added depressively, ’He must have signed under a single Origin serial code... this gives him total anonymity. However, if the Radians and Oblivars wanted him found, he must ensure that his serial code is literally linked to nothing else but the Nocturnal Ring... the moment he uses it to sign another contract, they can scour the universe for the contract’s serial number and read its details if it was a public contract.’
’Levi isn’t stupid enough to do that.’ Jasmine shook her head, ’He has three seeds... he must be using each one for a certain area.’
’It’s not about now... It’s about how long he can keep it up.’
With that last statement from N’ibby, they returned to watching the game... while The Light Eater was absolutely losing his marbles and cursing off Levi left and right for disrespecting his divinities like this, Levi turned a deaf ear to his cries.
He manifested one aetheric arm that was connected to his back... it went through his clothes and then Levi increased its concentration until its presence appeared almost physical... the slender fingers, the clean nails, the wrinkles... it was a perfected design of Levi’s hand.
Levi took a deep breath and concentrated on it... he controlled it to reach his Harmonic Spine that resembled a silver metallic spine. Then, he used a finger and gently ran it over the silver threads.
A beautiful low-pitched note was released, but the viewers couldn’t enjoy it thoroughly due to The Light Eater’s loud voice.
It didn’t matter if they heard it or not... as long as Levi did, and most importantly, the aetheric energy.
As Levi kept playing the exact tone on his spine, he tightened his grip on the staff and bent his legs slightly... then, he increased the speed of his playing, causing the aetheric layers to start vibrating nonstop, barely keeping the containment alive.
Seeing this, The Light Eater stopped his barrage of insults and focused on Levi’s dangerous stance... as someone living amongst Half-Oblivars, he heard stories and saw recordings of battles between Half-Oblivars and Half-Radians.
As he watched the agitated aetheric containment about to shatter, he knew that their contact wasn’t going to be pretty.
"Bring it on, you impious bastard!"
The moment his curse echoed once across the combat room, everyone was startled to see Levi already swinging the massive, agitated hammer with both arms from above!
Whoosh!!
The instant The Light Eater saw it, he unleashed his natural gravitational pull, throwing Levi off balance a little... but he had already experienced the gravitational pull of the Hungering Dark.
Although The Light Eater’s pull was powerful, it wasn’t enough to catch Levi off guard... and yet, the same couldn’t be said about Levi’s hammer.
The aetheric energy reached a certain concentration, making it easier for it to be affected by gravity... the hammer’s shape twisted the moment it was about to strike it, making it orbit the black hole as a long string of green-infused energies... the Void and Sunflames also fell under the same fate, their activation negated by the intense gravitational pressure.
As for Levi? He found himself getting pulled into the black hole... since he had attacked him, if he were to die by the black hole, it would be on him... just like what he did to The Masked Butcher.
Thus, he extended his arms and feet in the direction of the black hole... then, he used Sun Jets on his feet and palms, resembling Iron Man!
With such intense force, Levi managed to push himself away from the gravitational pull and land some distance away. Only then did The Light Eater deactivate the gravitational pull, awaiting the next attack.
"Two strikes... three more, and you’re mine." The Light Eater uttered murderously... genuinely hating Levi with such great passion like he had killed his parents.
That’s how much respect he had for Oblivars... what Levi represented was more sinister and damaging than having his parents killed.
’I guess I am in the same scenario as The Masked Butcher... I can’t use such destructive attacks without the risk of failure or getting killed.’ Levi thought inwardly, ’Black hole form... nothing physical or energy-based will work against it... unless I used an attack so powerful, so fast, it manages to shatter his form before its gravitational pull can stop it.’
Levi thought deeply and hard about his arsenal of techniques... unfortunately, he found nothing that could help him brute force his form.
’I just need to cast Eternal Mirage... but it’s extremely difficult to hit his soul with it when he is in this form... I need to find his subconscious barrier and assault it.’
If he had access to the use of ultimates, he could have summoned the False Sun... it was such a powerful spiritual ability, it didn’t give a shit if The Light Eater was in a black hole form or a squirrel form... as long as his soul was around it, it was going to try to pull it out no matter what. But now... Levi was clueless about how he could locate his subconscious barrier in such form.
’Ash’Kral... what do you think?’ Levi phoned for help.
As a Daywalker... they were considered one entity in the Death Games, so he could ask him about anything, and it wouldn’t count as breaking the rules. On the other hand, it was different for the Titan. Hence, he didn’t converse that much with Levi to avoid causing him any trouble.
’Think really hard... what can you do to locate his subconscious barrier... You already have the answer.’ Ash’Kral replied, not giving him the answer directly.
He knew that Levi would grow better if he figured out the solutions on his own in such situations than being spoon-fed... though the hint he gave him was more than enough for someone like Levi to figure out the solution.
’You’re right... I have the method, but do I have enough time to succeed?’ Levi murmured as he checked the time: Three minutes remained.
’You have the greatest auditory organ in the universe... You are the only one who can do it in such a short period.’ Ash’Kral encouraged sternly.
’Three minutes... if I fail, I will have to duel him.’ Levi knitted his eyebrows coldly as he switched his weapon to the Requiem of Hope and Despair. ’After all that shit he said... I will never give him the honor to fight back.’
Although he summoned it, he left the aetheric arm near his spine... instead, he added more aetheric arms around his body, each one focusing on a specific segment of his spine, like it was an instrument.
Then, he lifted his head and gazed at The Light Eater... saying nothing, Levi drew the bow across the violin and was accompanied by different heavenly tunes played by his spine...
