“I admit you might be stronger than me! But I don’t need to rely on you!”
After burning and killing over a hundred Ents, Lucien glanced at William with a hint of pride.
William simply stated, “You could be a bit more confident.”
“Huh? Am I not confident enough?” Lucien felt he was quite confident already.
William continued, “It’s not that I might be stronger than you, I am indeed stronger than you, and whether you admit it or not…”
“It’s a fact!”
Lucien’s face darkened, his pride evaporated, leaving him filled with a sense of defeat.
Some people, even without taking action, can cause immense damage just with their words.
Sophias, the Element Devouring Cat, too, remained silent, following Lucien to pick up soul cores.
The soul cores formed from over a hundred Ents after their death were consumed by Sophias as if they were mere beans.
For Lucien, who essentially became a tool for Element Devouring Cat to farm monsters—since the Ents wouldn’t drop any gear and the soul cores were meaningless to him—he naturally wouldn’t compete with a cat over these items.
Having Element Devouring Cat picking up the leftovers did give him a sense of accomplishment.
Is this what creatures in the Divine Realm are like?
Just so!
Of course, his mood would have been better without those last remarks from William.
As the trio approached the edge of the woods, William suddenly asked, “Weren’t you reluctant to kill before?”
Lucien shot William a glance and said, “I was just chopping wood!”
“Oh? Is there a difference between Ents and humans?” William inquired, “Does killing Ents not bring guilt?”
Lucien’s expression turned cold as he responded, “They attacked me first! Can’t I defend myself? Is it wrong to kill them?”
William nodded, “No, it’s not wrong. But didn’t you also accept Odin’s blue sapphire?”
Lucien paused, looking at William, momentarily at a loss for words.
William laughed and said, “Ahead is the headquarters of the Ultimate Force Alliance, known as the Heart of Asgard. Inside, in addition to the people of Asgard, there are tens of thousands of strange creatures and beastly monsters similar to Ents.”
“As a human, you’ve just killed their kin and then invaded their territory, should they invite you to dinner?” William glanced at Lucien, “Of course, if you want to fight your way through, that’s not really a problem either.”
“Killing them makes you stronger, doesn’t it?”
William spoke lightly, “Just like those invaders in Earth’s history, might is right, plundering and killing.”
“This is also a survival rule in the Divine Realm, you’re adapting quite fast!”
“Congratulations!”
Lucien shuddered…
Just like those invaders in Earth’s history?
Is it?
As William said, he had just killed their kin and then barged into their nation, should he expect others to invite him for a meal?
The most crucial point is, he has the Odin sapphire given by Odin.
Odin intended to make a connection, even though he was taken to the Divine Realm, Odin didn’t actually do anything bad to him.
Clearly, he just needed to show the Odin sapphire, and he could have free passage anywhere in the Ultimate Force Alliance.
Yet, he hadn’t even thought about this, starting to kill directly.
Perhaps one day, when he encounters some powerful being he can’t defeat in the Ultimate Force Alliance territory, he would take out the Odin sapphire!
Lucien broke out in cold sweat on his back; he had enjoyed that feeling of killing and becoming stronger just now.
Just a few hundred Ents!
And they were the ones who initiated the attack.
As if Lucien was the righteous party!
But is that really the case?
Odin had given him a token of trust!
It’s like being invited to a friend’s house as a guest, but then you kill their family members…
How can such actions be considered righteous?
Lucien’s inner turmoil was evident as he stood still, not moving for a long while. .
“Let’s go!” William said, “I’m just wandering around. If you don’t want to come with me, you can go on your own.”
Lucien’s gaze hardened as he looked at William and said, “Why didn’t you tell me before I took action? Did you do this on purpose?”
William had just taken a few steps forward when he heard Lucien’s words. He stopped, turned around, and with a smirk, said, “Why should I tell you these things?”
“Do I have an obligation to?”
Suddenly, William felt like he just wanted to engage in a verbal battle with this youngster.
Combat?
Lucien would undoubtedly be doomed.
But striking him with words seemed somewhat amusing.
“You’re clearly agitated, looking for an excuse to calm your guilty conscience, making it sound like I’ve wronged you!”
Lucien’s face turned pale.
William’s words were like a sharp knife piercing through his heart.
The hypocrisy deep within, along with the hope of finding someone to blame to alleviate his own guilt…
Seeing Lucien like this, William was pleased, turned around, and walked away with a spring in his step, in high spirits!
Lucien took a deep breath, and with a grim face, followed behind William.
As they approached a mountain ridge, they were targeted by a bear-headed monster wearing leather armor and a group of variously shaped little monsters. 𝘪𝘦.𝘤𝑜
“Hold it, you two, and that Cat!” the bear monster roared, waving its huge bear claws, with a group of little monsters surrounding William and his companions. It laughed menacingly, “The great king here was just worried about not having dinner, and you show up, truly it’s fate!”
A small monster by its side chimed in, “King, it’s been a while since we’ve had cat meat! This one looks plump, surely it’ll taste great!”
Another bear monster with fierce eyes fixated on William, sneeringly said, “Element Devouring Cat is a rare delicacy. Eating it must feel amazing.”
Just as the black bear monster was about to make a move, Lucien immediately took out the Odin sapphire, telling the black bear monster, “I’m a friend of Odin! I don’t want to fight you!”
Seeing the Odin sapphire in Lucien’s hand and sensing the powerful energy emanating from it, the black bear showed a goofy smile and said, “Greetings, sir! Where might you be heading? Would you like something to eat before you go?”
He then kicked the grey bear monster beside him, cursing, “Idiot, you fool! You want to eat a friend of Lord Odin? Apologize to these nobles right now!”
The grey bear monster was about to apologize to William, but Lucien gestured for them not to bother, saying, “If you want to eat them, it’s none of my business! Do as you like!”
Then, he looked meaningfully at William.
William had accused him of needless killing. Now it was his turn to see how William would handle this.
The black and grey bear monsters, upon hearing Lucien’s words, showed strange smiles.
The surrounding minions also looked at William and the Element Devouring Cat with malicious intent.
Sophias, the cat, was not panicked at all. He was used to causing trouble everywhere. Now, these Shapeshifters wanted to eat William?
That’s quite bold!
William, without even looking at Lucien, pointed at the bear monsters, saying, “Both of you, leave one paw each behind, and then you can leave!”
The bear monsters burst into arrogant laughter.
The grey bear monster pointed at William and said, “Have you lost your mind from fear, or are you just a fool?”
With a slight lift of his eyelid, William caused all the weaker Shapeshifters around to turn into dust and disperse into the air. Then, smiling at the two bear monsters, he said, “I am William the Obliterator! Did you understand the part about leaving behind two paws?”
The Black Bear Monster and the Gray Bear Monster were so scared they almost wet their pants. This terrifying aura, along with the name William the Obliterator…
Holy shit!
What were they talking about just now?
Did they actually think William the Obliterator looked tasty?
