?After his power level was restored, Uranus immediately tried to reclaim the Celestial Compass. With his restored strength, it should have been easy to summon the Celestial Compass back, but he soon realized that he still couldn’t sense its presence.
Terrifying!
Uranus looked at William and tentatively asked, “William, may I discuss something with Alice?”
William had already warned him, and he wasn’t foolish enough to try to forcefully take it back—that would be suicidal.
“You guys sort it out yourselves,” William said, not wanting to get involved in such matters. It was up to Alice to decide.
Hearing this, Uranus quickly approached Alice and asked, “Miss Alice, may I discuss something with you?”
The sudden respectful and somewhat ingratiating tone in which Uranus addressed her as “Alice” took her aback, causing her cheeks to flush slightly. “What is it?” she asked.
“Um… Alice, could you please return the Celestial Compass to me?” Uranus was nervous, wondering what he would do if Alice refused.
Force it?
Was he as tough as William the Obliterator? Forcing it would likely get him killed.
“You mean this?” Alice put away Little Vajra and brought out the Celestial Compass, which was already missing a corner.
Uranus winced at the sight of the Celestial Compass, now split in two.
The artifact linked to his life essence had been severed—how could it not hurt?
Of course, if he could get it back, that would be something, but if not…
“Yes, that’s the one!” Uranus was excited yet had to restrain himself, saying, “Miss Alice, could you please return it to me?”
“Alright!” Alice looked at the Celestial Compass. Its magical runes and constellation diagrams were indeed intricately carved, but such craftsmanship, William could probably achieve as well.
As for the artifact’s power, it didn’t seem all that impressive,the Sword of Soulbreaker had sliced it in two with a single strike. How powerful could it be?
Returning it was no big deal.
Alice knew that Uranus and William were close, like brothers. Even if not for Uranus’s sake, she should consider William’s feelings. This would show her to be understanding and wise.
Yes, that’s the way!
Just as Alice was about to return the Celestial Compass to Uranus, she heard the Sword Spirit of the Sword of Soulbreaker shouting loudly, “Little Sky God Uranus, what are you thinking? You wanted to fight, and now that you’ve lost, you want to give nothing in return?”
“Old man, don’t be so shameless, okay?”
“Of course, if you’re going to be shameless, I can’t do anything about it. My master is too kind-hearted.”
The Sword Spirit’s words made Uranus’s face turn red. This was a lesson in fairness for him. According to the rules of the Divine Realm, the victor takes all. Uranus used the Celestial Compass to trap Alice, and Alice won and took the Celestial Compass—it was all fair and above board.
“Come on, everyone, come and see! This is the Sky God Uranus, who has lost his face!”
“Lost a fight and still shamelessly asks for his artifact back!”
“Wow, is this really the Sky God Uranus? Any friends from the Ultimate Force Alliance here to claim him?”
…
With the third seal of the Sword of Soulbreaker broken, it was indeed becoming quite arrogant, its loud voice almost spreading throughout the entire Divine Realm.
Even Odin lost interest in disciplining Loki and the others.
Reputation and credibility are what the powerhouses of the Divine Realm value most, especially for the Sky God Uranus.
Odin had come to help Uranus, but he hadn’t expected such a turn of events, especially with the Sword Spirit of the Sword of Soulbreaker acting so ruthlessly!
The onlookers who had been watching from a distance, not daring to intervene in the battle and unsure of the outcome, now knew that the whole Divine Realm would soon learn of Uranus’s defeat.
“The Sky God Uranus lost?”
“Uranus was fighting William the Obliterator’s wife, right? That Alice?”
“I thought Alice was just a Destroyer Deity level. How could she possibly defeat the Sky God Uranus?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Uranus must have limited his own power, hahaha! Even at the same power level, the Sky God Uranus lost. This Alice is really something.”
“Even if he limited his power, he should accept the loss! I didn’t expect Uranus to be such a person. The Vice-Leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance, Uranus, really has poor character. It’s embarrassing!”
…
Hearing these discussions from afar, Odin felt extremely embarrassed. If this got out, it would be a disgrace for the entire Ultimate Force Alliance!
“Uranus, can we just let go of the CelestialCompass?” Odin gritted his teeth and telepathically communicated with Uranus.
We really can’t keep it!
“Since it’s already been split in two anyway…”
As he said this, Odin’s heart was pounding, questioning himself whether he could let go if his own Gungnir were to be broken.
Uranus was on the verge of tears, powerless against the taunting of the Sword of Soulbreaker. What could he do?
Dare he retaliate?
He dared not!
William the Obliterator was right there.
“Stop shouting!” Alice couldn’t stand it anymore and directly stopped the Sword Spirit of the Sword of Soulbreaker.
This Sword Spirit was too malicious, killing not just the body but the spirit too!
Quieted by Alice’s shout, the Sword Spirit spoke more softly, “Master, we don’t have to keep the Celestial Compass, but it’s still your trophy. He should offer something in exchange.”
At that moment, Alice was in a good mood and didn’t have much interest in the Celestial Compass, so she simply handed it back to Uranus, saying, “Don’t listen to it,here, take it back.”
Once the Celestial Compass was back in Uranus’s hands, the Sword Spirit immediately spoke in a sarcastic tone, “No way, no way! The noble Sky God Uranus actually takes back his artifact, which was already considered a trophy, without offering anything in return!”
“My master is kind-hearted and just gave it to you, and here you are, Sky God Uranus, without any gesture of gratitude. How shameless!”
This voice grew loud again, and deities throughout the Divine Realm could hear the Sword Spirit’s voice. 𝖋𝖗𝔴𝖇𝖔𝖛𝖑.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Although the Sword Spirit’s mocking tone was obviously trying to provoke Uranus into offering something, everyone felt it was only fair. If Uranus really gave nothing in return, that would indeed be shameful.
“Oh? I get it now, does Lord Uranus only have the Celestial Compass and that broken sword left? Never mind then, my master is generous and won’t bother with a pauper like you. Take your stuff and leave!”
“Pauper!”
Uranus was numb!
In all his years, he had never suffered such humiliation. The powerhouses like William the Obliterator were usually very dignified, and he had never encountered someone as vulgar as the Sword Spirit. After all, ordinary vulgar people would behave themselves in front of Uranus.
William stood by, thinking to himself.
This shamelessness, he wondered who taught her that. Certainly, he had never taught such behavior!
