Apollo never imagined that bringing William over to catch a cat would end up backfiring on him.
With William saying such a thing in front of Aphrodite, it meant either they were no longer planning to eat the cat.
Or…
If the cat was eaten, he’d be the one to blame!
Apollo stood frozen on the spot, his big eyes pitifully shifting between William and Aphrodite. 𝑖𝘳𝑎.𝒸ℴ𝘮
He saw Aphrodite staring at him coldly.
And then there was also a cat, looking at him with an odd expression.
Indeed, the cat was actually smirking!
“So, your visit today wasn’t actually to eat my Cat, was it?” Aphrodite finally asked William.
William glanced at the Cat and smiled, “Of course not. How could I eat it, knowing it’s little Aphrodite’s pet?”
Hearing this, Apollo was genuinely dumbfounded.
William wasn’t planning to eat the cat?
Then why did he come along?
Was it to turn himself in?
Hearing William’s words, the cat sneered, “What, Uncle William? You think you can eat me? I’m standing right here; let’s see if you can even bite me.”
Aphrodite, shocked by the cat’s words, quickly shouted at it, “Sophias! Do not be insolent!”
Then she hurriedly said to William, “Please forgive us, Sophias doesn’t know any better. Don’t stoop to its level!”
“Of course, it’s just a small cat,” William laughed, “I just wanted to see its potential.”
“Master, why fear him? Today, I shall teach him a lesson on behalf of your sisters!”
The Element Devouring Cat had no idea how terrifying William could be. Having run amok in the Divine Realm for years, it didn’t regard anyone highly, including William, as it saw it.
Even though it knew William was the legendary William the Obliterator!
Just a legend!
How formidable could he be?
Aphrodite panicked, but before she could react, the cat had already pounced in front of William, opening its mouth to bite him.
“Sophias!” Aphrodite shouted loudly.
William simply extended his palm, the cat’s eyes blasting blue light as it bit towards William’s fingers.
The cat, being an Element Devouring Cat, protected by a Cosmic Entity, could tear and devour anything. One bite, and it could even take a chunk out of the most formidable artifacts.
Was William really using his hand to block its mouth?
Today, it thought, it would bite off one of his fingers!
What about William the Obliterator?
Merely a baseless reputation!
When the cat bit down on William’s middle finger, it found, to its shock, that its usually infallible teeth couldn’t even make a dent in this single finger!
“Little cat, you’ve got quite the bite!” William casually caught the cat’s ear, examining the small Element Devouring Cat up and down.
“Let me go!” The cat completely panicked. It couldn’t even break the skin of William’s finger with a bite, so how could it possibly stand against him?
With its ear caught by William, all of the cat’s special abilities were sealed, and it couldn’t even use its innate talent for rapid escape.
William picked up the cat and looked at it: “Little kitty, are you in heat? Want me to find you a female cat?”
This cat was capable of reproduction, and William had almost hunted the Element Devouring Cat species to extinction in the past. Now, only a male and a female were left, making further reproduction somewhat challenging.
William pondered whether he should create a few more Element Devouring Cats.
He had previously tried creating some strange creatures on a planet a hundred thousand light-years from Earth.
He had created powerful creatures before.
Wasn’t Godzilla one of his creations?
“A female cat?” the cat said furiously. “Do you know what species I am? Do you really think I’m just an ordinary cat?”
“Only an Element Devouring Cat!” William laughed. “I know there’s another female Element Devouring Cat. Do you want to meet her?”
The cat was shocked. How did this person know it was an Element Devouring Cat?
“I don’t want to!” How could the cat agree to such a question, especially when William was holding its ears and asking about mating in front of others?
“If you don’t want to, then forget it!” William continued to examine the cat closely. He had observed its bodily structure quite thoroughly, but creating more would require a lot of natural energy.
The process was complicated, and even if he managed to create them, would this cat then be edible?
Never mind!
The business of creation is better left to the Cosmic Entities themselves!
William, always one for spontaneity, released the cat and said to Aphrodite, “Little Aphrodite, don’t worry. I said I wouldn’t eat it.”
The cat, frightened, hid behind Aphrodite, who finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This Element Devouring Cat really didn’t know what was good for it, daring to bite William the Obliterator?
It was lucky to still have its teeth and reproductive organs intact.
“Thank you, uncle, for your mercy!” Aphrodite breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked William, then asked, “Did you come here just to catch up with me?”
She found it hard to believe that William had come just to reminisce with her.
William waved his hand and smiled, “I’ve only arrived in the Divine Realm a few days ago and was just bored, wandering around. Apollo wanted to eat a cat and also wanted to see you, so I came over.”
Apollo stood by, not daring to speak.
What the heck?
He didn’t say anything!
Why was he getting the blame again?
Aphrodite frowned at Apollo and said, “If I’m not mistaken, you are the sun god Apollo?”
Apollo gave an awkward smile and said, “Yes, we had the fortune of crossing paths once at the Synod of Deities of the Divine Alliance.”
Aphrodite coldly responded, “Is that so?”
Apollo chuckled sheepishly, “Your beauty is admired by all gods in the Divine Realm. I merely accompanied William for a visit.”
Aphrodite then ignored Apollo and led William and him to a courtyard, where she took a jug of Nectar wine and said, “William, I don’t have much to offer you on this visit. This Nectar wine is my own brew. Please, uncle, have a taste.”
After saying this, she poured a cup for both William and Apollo.
William could feel that Aphrodite was much more distant towards him now, their interaction merely formal.
She might still harbor resentment towards William, given that her five sisters had spent years pining for him in despair. As their younger sister, even if she could understand, some resentment was inevitable.
William took a sip of the wine and, looking towards the horizon, said, “Your father is quite timely, isn’t he?”
Aphrodite nodded, “I’ve already sent a message to my father. He knows you’re here and, of course, wants to meet you. There shouldn’t be any animosity between you and my father, right?”
“Of course not.” William was well aware that Aphrodite had notified the sky god Uranus the moment the cat attempted to bite him, and he was not afraid of Uranus.
Hearing Aphrodite’s words, Apollo instantly turned pale with fear. What situation was this?
Uranus is coming?
Weren’t Uranus’s five daughters all pining for William to their deaths?
And now Uranus himself was coming!
And the earlier matter of wanting to eat the cat…
Just thinking about it made Apollo’s scalp tingle!
