As William turned and walked away, Alice’s emotions immediately became complicated.
Perhaps couples who have been intimate for a long time really can grow weary of each other.
But just having William by her side made her feel at ease.
Now, after traveling together, they had indeed spent quite a while in each other’s company.
“When will you return?” Alice called out from behind.
William replied, “I’ll be back once you reach the Sanctum of the Holy Light!”
After saying this, William’s figure faded and disappeared right before her eyes!!
During this time, thirteen Shapeshifter lords had already found what they considered to be powerful backers. These backers might not be able to defeat William the Obliterator, that freakishly strong individual, but presumably, William the Obliterator would give them some face. .
Or they simply found a somewhat hidden place to hide, purely hoping against hope that William the Obliterator wouldn’t find them.
William intended to create trouble for Alice, to find her enemies and adversaries, naturally looking for those with significant strength. Otherwise, just the few disciples by Alice’s side could easily handle them.
In terms of power, those thirteen Shapeshifter lords were of the Supreme Deity level, but having previously confronted William, their strength was greatly diminished. To say they could overpower Alice’s team through sheer strength was already impossible.
But William could make them stronger!!
This wasn’t too difficult for William.
They relied on all sorts of strange artifacts to gain an advantage.
William might not have much else, but he certainly has a plethora of odd artifacts.
In the Palace of the Sea God, Poseidon sat with his wife Amphitrite, his son Triton, his daughters the Nereids, and Theseus, Poseidon’s family members, all gathered.
Mira kneeled in the great hall, her head bowed, pleading for refuge from the sea god Poseidon.
In Mira’s view, Poseidon, the Sea God, seemed to be the kindest towards their Shapeshifters clan among the high-tier Sky Kings.
To seek refuge and become his servant was naturally the best option for her.
She had also explained the situation to Poseidon.
Dressed in sea-blue robe, Poseidon listened to Mira with drooping eyelids. After hearing everything, he felt that William had intentionally done this to make the top forces of the Shapeshifters clan seek refuge with him, becoming his subordinates.
But he was still waiting because William hadn’t explicitly said Mira could become one of his subordinates.
“I request Lord Poseidon to take me in!”
Seeing that the Sea God Poseidon remained silent, Mira once again prostrated on the ground to plead.
She had pleaded outside the Palace of the Sea God for a long time before being allowed in.
With her strength, attempting to force her way into the Palace of the Sea God was akin to seeking death.
Now kneeling before Poseidon, if he refused to take her in, and she encountered William the Obliterator after leaving the Palace of the Sea God, death was certain.
Poseidon slightly lifted his eyelids, indifferently saying, “Do you think, if Mr. Johnson wanted to kill you, I could save your life?”
Mr. Johnson?
Mira took a deep breath, sensing the respect for William the Obliterator in Poseidon’s words.
Moreover, from his statement, it seemed likely that if William the Obliterator came to the Palace of the Sea God, Poseidon might directly hand her over.
The people around Poseidon didn’t find his words strange; his family knew well the unfathomable strength of William the Obliterator.
“If that’s the case, I shall take my leave,” Mira said with a bitter smile. Suddenly, she felt that if William the Obliterator wanted her dead, fleeing anywhere would be meaningless.
Even Poseidon said so,where could she find refuge in the Divine Realm?
“Wait!” Poseidon said indifferently, “You may stay for now. I presume Mr. Johnson won’t be bothered with you. If he truly wanted you dead, hiding at the end of the universe would be futile. Just wait here!”
Just as Mira was about to get up, she heard the Hippocampi outside the hall shout, “Lord Poseidon, William the Obliterator seeks an audience outside the Palace of the Sea God.”
William the Obliterator seeks an audience outside the Palace of the Sea God?
Seeks an audience?
Even Poseidon was a bit unsettled. William was really giving him a lot of respect!
Did William actually need to request to enter his Palace of the Sea God?
With the protective barrier he had set up, wasn’t it just something William could shatter with a kick?
To enter, a simple teleportation would suffice, but instead, he had the Hippocampi report his arrival?
“Let’s all go out to welcome him!” Poseidon got up, glanced at Mira, and said, “You come too.”
Mira was well aware of the situation.
Thinking of escaping? She won’t be able to.
William the Obliterator was blocking the entrance, and given Poseidon’s current attitude, she suspected Poseidon would be the first to disapprove if she attempted to flee.
Mira had no choice but to follow Poseidon and the others outside the hall.
William stood outside the Palace of the Sea God, watching Poseidon and the others emerge.
“Mr. Johnson, I’ve missed you!” Poseidon quickly approached William, bowing respectfully.
The difference in their statuses was clear!
The family of the Sea God Poseidon knew that the strength of William the Obliterator was unfathomable, but they had not expected Poseidon’s demeanor towards William to be so respectful.
Poseidon’s demeanor shocked them.
But they too greeted William warmly and with respect.
They were unaware of the fact that William had been Poseidon’s master when he was younger.
William wasn’t too fond of Poseidon calling him mentor either, as it made him seem old.
In fact, a long time ago, William had a good relationship with Triton and the Nereids,the manner of their current reception made it seem rather estranged.
“I’ve come this time to discuss a matter with you. Consider it a small favor for me, and there will certainly be thanks,” William said. “No need for anyone to be formal.”
“Mr. Johnson, please come into the hall to discuss,” Poseidon said in front of his children, treating William with the utmost respect.
He also wanted his family to understand that the person before them was not someone they could afford to offend.
Accidentally offending William? That would be unthinkable.
After William entered the hall and found a chair to sit down, Poseidon did not dare to sit on his throne anymore and stood opposite William.
It was only natural for him to stand while his master sat.
But with Poseidon standing, no one else dared to sit either.
Thus, in the entire Palace of the Sea God, only William sat while everyone else stood upright.
Mira, who had come seeking refuge, felt even more panicked. The scene was terrifyingly formal, clearly indicating that Poseidon couldn’t protect her.
“William the Obliterator, don’t think that just because of your strong power, I am afraid of you. Even if it means death, I won’t let you keep me like cattle or sheep!” Mira glared at William and intended to self-destruct her soul.
But she quickly realized she couldn’t do it, as a mysterious force sealed her soul energy.
“Don’t rush, I have no intention of keeping you like cattle or sheep,” William looked at Mira and casually waved his hand, causing a glass bottle to appear at Mira’s feet. “Odin has given you to me. Now, I’m giving you your freedom. You can leave whenever you want, but I’d like you to do something for me. If you agree, this pill is yours.”
