479 The regenerative power of a Nature Deity?
Who else could the person wearing the bronze mask be if not William?
At the academy, many had already witnessed how formidable these strange beings were. Even the president of the Emerald Lion Guild, Garen, had been instantly defeated by one of their minor members.
Now, suddenly, someone appears, so boldly pointing at the group and asking someone to come up for a hit with a bat?
Where did he get such courage?
Most importantly, to everyone’s eyes, this unknown person exuding a pitifully weak aura had just appeared out of nowhere.
Did he really think that wearing a strange mask and donning white clothes made him strong?
Even if he wanted to pretend to be powerful, at least he should have prepared a respectable weapon, not just boldly stepping forward with a baseball bat.
This seemed like a real death wish!
And such a high-profile one at that.
The red-haired middle-aged man with horns on his head frowned, his blood-red pupils shooting out two sharp beams at William, then he turned to the people behind him and said, “One of you go first.”
In his view, the masked man was already dead.
The next moment, William was still standing there. As for the blood-colored beams that shot out, they disappeared without a trace five feet away from William.
Huh?
The horned man, Maximilian Peerless, a clan leader of the Fire God tribe with strength at the Creator Deity level and just a step away from the Supreme Deity level, frowned at William. He hadn’t died?
This made him look weak.
A mere glance couldn’t kill an ordinary person!
“This clown, who among you will go and kill him?” Maximilian reasoned that his power should have been enough to kill an ordinary person with just a look. But now, since William hadn’t died, it proved he was no ordinary person.
As for how extraordinary he might be, Maximilian didn’t care to find out himself. He thought it better to send someone else to test the waters first, and if necessary, he could step in later.
“Hehe, Maximilian, that’s quite interesting of you. Since someone wants to challenge you, why not let someone from your Fire God tribe go first?” A blue-haired elder nearby laughed. His strength was about the same as Maximilian’s, and in his view, Maximilian was clearly setting a trap for others.
If a Creator Deity couldn’t instantly defeat this person, it proved that the person had at least some level of strength.
Sending someone else now, especially a less capable youngster, could lead to trouble.
By then, not only would he miss out on the benefits he deserves, but he would also lose face in front of everyone, becoming the disgrace of the entire pantheon.
“Father , let me go!” A young man in battle armor, standing behind Maximilian, stepped forward as he spoke.
Maximilian, however, frowned deeply. His eldest son had just died at the hands of a mysterious person yesterday, and they had not yet found that mysterious individual. Now his younger son was volunteering?
In fact, it was precisely because William had killed Maximilian’s eldest son with a slap yesterday that Maximilian and others were wary.
The death of a son wasn’t much to him,what mattered was how strong this mysterious person really was.
Was he strong enough to threaten their divine tribe’s rule over this world? That was the most crucial question.
And was this mysterious person present today?
If so, where was he watching them from?
Maximilian didn’t say much. Since his son had volunteered, it would be a loss of face for the Fire God tribe if he refused.
“Lowly human! Kneel before me!”
Maximilian’s son, Reginald Peerless, glared at William and roared in an attempt to intimidate him with his presence.
Typically, some powerful races could exert a dominating aura over weaker ones.
If William was just an ordinary human, such a roar would surely have made him kneel in fear.
However, following the roar, William remained unflinchingly still, his eyes beneath the bronze mask filled with contempt and disdain.
A so-called deity from a parallel dimension trying to exert pressure on him?
The kid must still be half-asleep!
Reginald couldn’t help but feel surprised. Could it be that this masked man was not weak?
His father had already attacked him once. Even if he was strong, he should be weakened by now.
A cold light flickered in Reginald’s eyes. This man must die!
His elder brother had already died, and winning this first battle today would solidify his position in the Fire God tribe. Who would dare to challenge him then?
“Flame Judgement!” Reginald suddenly burst into roaring flames, with a long spear appearing in his hands, also ablaze.
As he shouted, the spear charged forward like a rampant horse, piercing through William’s chest in an instant.
The spear had gone right through William’s torso… 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝘰𝑚
“Hehe, too weak to withstand a single blow!” Reginald was well aware of the power of his strike. Being at the level of a Nature Deity, his Flame Judgement combined with his swift spear technique should be lethal to anyone below the level of a Destroyer Deity.
The body was pierced, yet there was no blood – probably because the divine fire on his Fire God spear instantly cauterized the wound…
The next moment, the pierced William disappeared.
“Huh?” Reginald frowned. Had his divine fire turned the man’s body to ashes instantly?
But that strike felt as if it hadn’t hit something solid.
Was it because the opponent was too weak that it gave him this feeling?
“Reginald! Watch your back!”
Maximilian couldn’t help but shout out. What Maximilian had struck was merely an afterimage,William was already standing behind him while he was still lost in thought.
Startled, Reginald turned and thrust with his spear again, unable to sense William’s presence.
With a swing of his wooden baseball bat, William struck at the long spear thrust by Reginald.
“Courting death!” Reginald grew frantic, but he couldn’t believe that someone with a mere baseball bat could withstand his flame-imbued spear.
The divine fire on his spear could almost incinerate anything. And yet, someone dared to counter it with a baseball bat? Was this not an insult?
Crack!
The baseball bat in William’s hand hit the tip of the spear, instantly extinguishing the flames on it.
Reginald was sent flying backward by the impact.
The next moment, William stomped him down from mid-air.
Boom!
The arena of the academy exploded into a shower of rubble, with a huge crater forming in a radius of several hundred feet around William.
The terrifying blast only swirled within this area, not harming anyone outside the arena.
William had brutally broken Reginald’s ribs.
“A mere Nature Deity, what were you thinking?” William’s baseball bat was pointed at Reginald’s throat.
Blood gushed from Reginald’s mouth and nose, yet he was still smiling: “You can’t kill me! I am a Nature Deity, with the power of regeneration! Unless you are at the level of a Destroyer Deity.”
“Destroyer Deity level?” William’s voice was filled with cold indifference as he casually swung his bat, sending Reginald’s head flying.
The regenerative power of a Nature Deity?
William laughed. Even high-tier god-kings would not dare claim in front of William that they couldn’t be killed!
