When Lucien opened his eyes again, he was greeted by the continuous alerts of the system ringing in his ears.
“Warning, system reinstallation failed!”
“The system is beginning to detach from the host!”
“System detachment from the host failed!”
“System initiating self-destruction mode!”
“Warning! System self-destruction failed!”
…
William was also listening to the system’s alerts by his side.
He had come to understand that the system within Lucien’s consciousness didn’t really possess a complete self-awareness.
It was truly just a “system.”
Hearing these chaotic messages from the system, Lucien’s expression turned peculiar.
Just because he watched William play a game, he managed to crash the system!
Not to mention the loading failures.
All sorts of detachment failures, self-destruction failures.
A system that sounded impressive ended up being played to destruction in just a while.
And the fundamental reason was merely because Lucien had an epiphany while watching William play a game!
If it had been due to watching William do something else, or having an epiphany under William’s guidance, Lucien thought that would have made some sense.
But it was just from watching him play a game and recalling their simple conversations that he had this realization. .
Lucien found it unbelievable.
Could enhancing one’s own power really be this easy?
Seeing Lucien awake, William asked, “Are we going or not?”
“Yes, let’s go!” Lucien also realized that following William seemed quite promising, and he no longer harbored the strong hostility towards William as before.
The Element Devouring Cat also had its belly round and full, with faint golden light emanating from its head. After eating the bear paw prepared by William, it too could feel the powers deep within its bloodline beginning to awaken.
Despite consuming numerous divine artifacts before, it had not awakened any further bloodline powers. Yet, now, just by eating a bear paw grilled by William, it experienced an awakening?
Ancient fierce beasts could awaken their bloodline powers multiple times in their lives, with each awakening multiplying their strength geometrically.
The Element Devouring Cat, whose soul core had been shattered by Odin, leading to a significant reduction in its strength, hadn’t fully recovered even after many years.
Though the bear paw could be considered a nourishing supplement, for an ancient fierce beast like the Element Devouring Cat, it really wasn’t much…
After eating the bear paw grilled by William, Sophias, the Element Devouring Cat, thought all the credit went to the bear paw and went on to eat another one raw.
The result, of course, goes without saying.
A bear paw not cooked by William personally was just a slightly larger bear paw.
At this moment, Sophias fully realized that William was a true powerhouse.
The ordinary bear paw, under William’s cooking, had effects surpassing countless divine artifacts…
If it could always stay by William’s side, picking up scraps to eat occasionally, couldn’t it achieve divinity right there?
What about divine artifacts?
Compared to the dishes prepared by William, they were all rubbish!
On their journey, Lucien simply hung the Odin sapphire on his waist, and thus, they faced no obstacles.
No matter the power level of the Shapeshifters they encountered, seeing the Odin sapphire, they would treat them kindly.
Some Shapeshifters even invited them for meals…
Because of this, Sophias, the Element Devouring Cat, couldn’t help but mock, “Kid, how scared are you? Why don’t you hang the Odin sapphire around your neck instead?”
How could Sophias be happy?
With Lucien’s approach, which rash Shapeshifter would dare to trouble them?
This way, how could William make a move on them?
Then how would the Element Devouring Cat consume the dropped soul cores?
“Damn cat, stop stirring things up here!” Lucien now gets lost in thought just watching William walk.
He seems to be on the verge of entering a meditative state of enlightenment at any moment.
Killing Shapeshifters?
Killing Shapeshifters is less appealing than watching William play a game for a while!
The path to strength through slaughter is too weak.
Lucien will probably never know that when he once competed in swordsmanship with Alice, the Alice he saw at that time was possessed by William’s soul.
It was precisely because of William’s possession that Alice’s demeanor underwent a drastic change.
Strictly speaking, he fell for Alice at the moment William, possessing Alice, drew the sword…
Both Lucien and the cat have now discovered the benefits of staying by William’s side.
William didn’t mind, mainly because this kind of thing happened too frequently.
In the past, beings like Moros, Luna, Erebus, and other powerhouses in the Divine Realm gained insights from William’s daily life, which was quite normal. .𝒎
Otherwise, why would beings like Hydra and Moros shamelessly follow William around?
They soon arrived at the city where the Ultimate Force Alliance’s headquarters, Heart of Asgard, was located.
The Ultimate Force Alliance’s meeting was to be held here!
After entering the city and seeing various Shapeshifter lords, warriors of Asgard, and the bustling city, William said to Lucien, “Could you put away that sapphire of yours?”
The Odin sapphire was too conspicuous in Heart of Asgard, so much so that it made them the center of attention wherever they went!
William, who prefers to keep a low profile, disliked the feeling of being the focus.
Additionally, William shared a common interest with the Element Devouring Cat!
Apart from boredom, one reason William came to the Ultimate Force Alliance’s headquarters was to seek delicious Shapeshifters.
Lucien’s high-profile behavior meant that not a single Shapeshifter came to them looking for trouble along the way.
Although William acts without any prohibitions, he also doesn’t like to just grab a Shapeshifter he sees on the road.
That would make him seem particularly unprincipled.
If it had been before, Lucien would definitely not have listened to William, but after everything that happened these days, he found himself subconsciously obeying William’s words.
“The scent on me might attract the attention of some Shapeshifters,” Lucien said as he tucked away the Odin sapphire, then added, “This way, I’ll become a target for their attacks!”
William’s eyes narrowed slightly, saying, “No matter, it’s even better this way!”
Shapeshifters mostly use scent to identify what kind of being someone is.
Someone like Lucien, coming from the Prime World and enveloped in various mysterious powers, arriving in Heart of Asgard, would definitely attract the attention of various Shapeshifter lords.
Now that’s interesting!
William looked at Lucien, and actually induced the aura on Lucien, making it emit forcefully.
The mysterious powers, along with the force of the system that he expelled, all these auras spread out, like a little piglet emitting a delicious scent rushing into a pack of wolves.
Almost instantly, Lucien felt countless consciousnesses sweeping over him.
His scent was really something!
William exuded the aura of a Shapeshifter lord, and at the same time, his hands conjured enchanted chains that quickly bound Lucien’s wrists.
“What are you doing?” Lucien stared at William in disbelief.
At this moment, William actually chose to act against him?
Truly a merciless tyrant!
William lowered his voice and said, “You are my prisoner now, understand?”
This voice was lowered, but saying it so openly in Heart of Asgard was almost like not lowering it at all.
After all, the surrounding Asgard residents and Shapeshifters could all hear.
“Who is this guy!” A Shapeshifter lord in a white robe with blood-red pupils approached William, a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth, “Did you deliberately make him release his scent?”
