?William was momentarily stumped by the question.
“Dionysus did me a favor before, and I promised to bring him here to meet little Aphrodite,” William pondered. “But I absolutely do not condone him harassing her. That’s why I didn’t intervene when you disciplined him, right?”
William is a reasonable man. Although he had promised Dionysus to fulfill their wishes, those wishes should at least adhere to basic morals.
“…” Uranus was full of questions. “Is that it?”
William nodded earnestly: “As for the other matters you mentioned, they have nothing to do with me.”
“So, you mean you won’t interfere with the affairs between our Ultimate Force Alliance and the Divine Alliance?” Uranus wanted to confirm once more.
William couldn’t help but laugh: “Why should I interfere? Do I look idle to you?” f𝗿𝐞ewebno𝚟𝗹.𝗰𝐨m
He had figured it out,Uranus and his ilk always overthink things. Without clear explanations, they’d just make wild guesses like fools.
“I…” Uranus stuttered, clearly frustrated. If William the Obliterator wasn’t going to intervene, then what was he doing here?
“Hmm?” William looked at Uranus’s expression…
He wasn’t about to swear, was he?
After all, Uranus was known as the “Sky God,” a dignified figure. It would be unbecoming for him to use foul language.
Uranus swallowed hard and asked, “So, can I stop competing with Alice now?”
“If you don’t want to compete, then don’t. What does that have to do with me?” William replied. “You could just call it off.”
It was funny that Uranus even had to ask him about this.
“Then I’m not fighting.” Uranus was decisive.
Why continue fighting?
If he accidentally hurt Alice, he might offend William the Obliterator. And if he lost, with so many onlookers, it would be embarrassing.
Win or lose, it seemed like a losing deal either way. So why continue?
William was almost reluctant to continue the conversation. The mighty Sky God Uranus, why did he seem so foolish?
Just then, within the magic formation, Alice, wielding the Sword of Soulbreaker, actually broke through the third seal set by William.
“Damn it! Master! Split his Celestial Compass in half!”
The Celestial Compass was right there!
With the third seal of the Sword of Soulbreaker broken, a full-powered strike from Alice was enough to kill a Creator Deity. This level-jumping feat was quite extraordinary.
In the Divine Realm, the power levels are classified as: Mortal Deity, Guardian Deity, Elemental Deity, Nature Deity, Destroyer Deity, Creator Deity, Supreme Deity, Absolute Deity.
Alice, with the initial strength of a Destroyer Deity, directly achieved the power to kill a Creator Deity, which was truly like cheating.
Now, Uranus’s power was also suppressed to the level of a Destroyer Deity by William, at his own request for help in suppressing his power. Therefore, he couldn’t restore his original power. At this moment, the Sword of Soulbreaker had already locked onto the true form of the Celestial Compass.
With the power of a holy aura, Alice’s strength climbed again, and she leaped forward to strike with her sword!
This time, it wasn’t just a release of energy waves.
The true form of the Sword of Soulbreaker made direct contact with the true form of the Celestial Compass.
The sword struck the Celestial Compass!
The Starlight Illusion Array was mercilessly broken, and the Celestial Compass was directly chipped.
“Master, take it!” The Sword of Soulbreaker was thrilled. During William’s absence, it had taught Alice a lot.
According to the Sword of Soulbreaker’s theory, if you’re going to fight, you must gain something from it. If there’s no benefit, why fight?
Since a fight had occurred, every effort should be made to reap benefits,one should never return empty-handed.
Well, that’s the principle!
After five years of continuous learning, Alice had ingrained this survival rule into her very bones.
With one strike, Alice chopped off a corner of the Celestial Compass and immediately used her alchemical furnace to collect the two pieces.
The Celestial Compass was split into two, and Uranus spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
William stepped aside and looked towards Alice.
At that moment, Alice stood in mid-air, holding the Sword of Soulbreaker, with “Little Vajra” floating above her…
Uranus’s face was pale, devoid of any color.
The Celestial Compass, linked to his life essence and nurtured with his blood for 700,000 years, was now deeply connected to his soul. Now that it was split in two and its connection to him severed, even Uranus could no longer maintain any contact with it.
Although Little Vajra had not yet developed sentience, it was a top-tier artifact personally crafted by William. Now that it had taken the Celestial Compass, even Uranus could no longer hope to reconnect with it.
“Ah, this?” Uranus looked at Alice, the mighty Sky God feeling an urge to cry.
At this moment, he was filled with regret and anger.
Regretting that he didn’t let Dionysus leave and that he had overthought things.
Angry at himself for not retrieving the Celestial Compass sooner.
Upon realizing that William the Obliterator had no intention of intervening in the conflict between the Ultimate Force Alliance and the Divine Alliance, he should have immediately taken back the Celestial Compass.
He had been too complacent, believing that even with Alice wielding the Sword of Soulbreaker, she couldn’t possibly break the Starlight Illusion Array.
Even if she did break the Starlight Illusion Array, he never imagined she could actually split the Celestial Compass in two.
When it was time to think things through, he hadn’t thought at all, and when it wasn’t necessary, he overthought everything.
“Why would you want to take Uranus’s Celestial Compass and then slash it?” William pondered if Alice was being a bit foolish as Uranus suddenly coughed violently, blood spurting from his mouth.
“Are you alright?” William stepped back, wary of the blood.
He genuinely feared Uranus might cough up a lung.
“No… problem!” Uranus suddenly realized, his excitement palpable.
How could there be no problem?
“That’s good to hear,” William comforted, “Winning and losing in battle is normal. Don’t be discouraged,it’s not good for your health.”
He couldn’t help but admire Uranus, the Sky God, for not being upset even when his life-linked artifact was taken. Perhaps that was what they called a grand demeanor.
William felt somewhat inferior in comparison.
“What I mean is, there is a problem!” Uranus corrected himself, his eyes reddening. William the Obliterator’s words were problematic…
“What’s the problem?” William frowned, having just said there wasn’t one.
The conversation was always awkward.
“William, could you ask Alice to return the Celestial Compass to me?” Uranus’s chest heaved with emotion. How could such a significant issue be dismissed?
If he stubbornly claimed there was no problem now, then the Celestial Compass would definitely not be returned.
William said, “This is between you and my wife Alice. Competitions always involve some stakes, right?”
“Now that you’ve lost, she’s taken your Celestial Compass, and I see no issue with that.” William was a man of reason, so he felt Uranus should discuss this directly with Alice.
Losing meant accepting the outcome. The mighty Sky God Uranus couldn’t possibly be a sore loser, could he?
Now that the competition was over, if Alice was willing to return the Celestial Compass to Uranus, William wouldn’t object. But if Alice didn’t want to return it and Uranus tried to take it by force, then William would have no choice but to intervene.
If Uranus tried to use his superior strength to bully Alice after the competition, William would certainly not stand for it!
Uranus was baffled. Did William the Obliterator really not care about anything?
“I’ll restore your power level, but don’t use your strength to bully my wife,” William warned, raising an eyebrow. He had already given his warning,if Uranus tried anything, William would be ready to step in.
