William’s breakfast preparation was quite simple: homemade oatmeal porridge, egg and bacon salad, toasted bread, and some pickles he had made.
In the morning, he had already been busy in the kitchen, initially preparing only enough for him and Amy. Unexpectedly, Alice showed up early with guests in tow for breakfast.
The key issue was that she had bought so many ingredients; it would seem somewhat unfair not to let her join the meal.
Regardless of who those two children were or what their purpose was, since they had entered his house, they were considered guests.
A breakfast was certainly due.
“You go ahead and eat, first take these to the kids,” William prepared a portion for Amy, as he had promised Maria the night before to attend a parent-teacher meeting for Amy, expecting her to come looking for him in the morning.
Alice carried out a pot of oatmeal porridge and a plate of toasted bread. Luna and Erebus, seeing her come out, assumed she had prepared everything.
The two children, who usually preferred meat, felt somewhat disappointed at the sight of such a breakfast. Suddenly, Luna’s attention was drawn to the slow cooker in the kitchen.
The slow cooker was faintly adorned with mysterious patterns…
In the Divine Realm, such an item would undoubtedly be a magical artifact capable of suppressing a god-king!
To use it for cooking breakfast seemed like a tremendous waste of such a marvelous item!
“Want to try?” Alice served a bowl to each child and then looked at them with a beaming smile.
Her smile only intensified Luna and Erebus’s terror, making them feel a chill down their spines.
After sitting down, the two children hastily began scooping up the porridge from their bowls with spoons.
They had initially thought it was just ordinary porridge, perhaps even the kind that’s hard to eat. But after the first taste, they simply couldn’t stop eating.
Incredibly, even this simple bowl of porridge seemed to contain such pure residual energy?
Luna quickly finished her bowl and then proceeded to pick up the slow cooker, drinking it dry in one go.
“Hey! What are you doing?” Erebus’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Could one even do that?
Luna put down the slow cooker, glaring back at Erebus, then licked her lips with satisfaction.
Alice was also stunned. Weren’t these kids just indulging in a feast yesterday? How could they eat like they haven’t had food for half a month?
Little did she know, the food they had eaten yesterday was merely a novel taste for these children.
But drinking this oatmeal porridge today held significant meaning for them.
Erebus had already been on the verge of a breakthrough in his strength last night, and this bowl of porridge pushed him even closer to that edge.
William emerged from the kitchen to find Luna holding onto the slow cooker tightly, realizing then that these two little ones could sense the residual energy he inadvertently left in his belongings.
Sometimes he found it unavoidable that anything he frequently touched would undergo a transformation.
Surely Luna wasn’t thinking of stealing his slow cooker?
Holding a bowl of porridge, William caught Erebus’s longing gaze. On second thought, Erebus decided it was best not to provoke him, considering he might be Alice’s boyfriend.
Luna watched William intently, not understanding why she felt such a sense of familiarity with this ordinary man.
Just then, Amy came in, wobbling with a box of milk in her hand.
“Do you want some oatmeal porridge?” William, in sync with the moment, took the milk from Amy and then asked her if she’d like some oatmeal porridge.
Amy curiously glanced at Erebus and Luna, then sat on a stone bench and slowly began to sip her oatmeal porridge.
Erebus observed the human child in front of him with interest.
She seemed naive, merely digesting the oatmeal without transforming any of it into spiritual energy. The high-level, pure energy residues contained in the porridge seemed to have no effect on her whatsoever.
My goodness!
This is what truly wasting food looks like!
How could there be such foolish human children?
No, no, no!
Perhaps all human children are like this!
Erebus felt a mixture of emotions at this moment. He wasn’t sure if this human child belonged to Alice and didn’t dare speak up, so he just stared at Amy’s bowl.
After eating a couple of bites, Amy finally noticed Erebus’s gaze. Hesitating for a moment, she said, “Brother, are you hungry? You can have mine.” She then pushed her bowl slightly towards Erebus.
Erebus quickly picked up the bowl and poured the oatmeal into his mouth, smacking his lips and then nervously turning to Alice, saying, “She gave it to me to drink…”
Alice nodded, smiling awkwardly: “I saw.”
Erebus finally breathed a sigh of relief, genuinely a bit afraid of Alice.
“Alright, Alice, you take care of these two kids. I’m taking Amy to the parent-teacher meeting,” said William, who had sensed anomalies in the space near New York City. It was very likely that parallel dimensions were collapsing and descending nearby.
Given that there are over three thousand parallel dimensions established on top of the Prime World, each with different creatures, not necessarily in human form, William had grown to like this era and certainly wouldn’t welcome the sudden arrival of bizarre beings.
“Should we go together?” Alice tentatively asked.
William shook his head expressionlessly: “No need, just wash the dishes and then attend to your own matters.”
“Oh.” Alice pouted, feeling a bit wronged.
Erebus slightly frowned, recalling the powerful figures often spoken of in myths and legends, whose partners or lovers usually possessed extraordinary wisdom and influence. These significant figures often relied on their other halves for advice and support.
William seemed a bit too arrogant.
However, William’s close relationship with a powerful figure like Alice, yet still being a mere human, suggested his innate qualities were extremely poor.
Probably due to his lowly lineage.
“Let’s go, Amy.” After speaking, William walked toward the yard’s exit. .𝒎
Amy hurriedly followed, calling out, “Wait for me!”
“You’re really slow,” William remarked disdainfully.
Amy quickly caught up and grabbed William’s finger. As they walked out of the yard, she whispered, “Mr. Johnson, did that brother not eat for many days?”
“Probably.” William didn’t quite know how to answer,Erebus seemed to have eaten quite a lot the day before.
As they took the bus to school, the sky suddenly darkened with dense black clouds intertwined with blood-red lightning, forming a vortex.
Loud, chaotic roars mixed with thunder came from the sky, terrifying many bystanders.
“Is this a mirage?”
“I’ve never heard of a mirage with sound!”
“What is that monster?”
…
The entire city plunged into panic as numerous people witnessed giant beasts appearing in the sky. Their enormous sizes, coupled with the dark clouds, darkened the skies over New York and several nearby cities.
Has another world descended?!
