Chapter 476 This is just the beginning
Delmar is still unaware that after the Titan deity Cronus was defeated, William, in his leisure and seeking amusement, divided Cronus's power into three parts and bestowed it upon Poseidon and his two brothers, thus qualifying them to truly become gods in charge of their respective domains.
This was also because William had watched these three brothers grow up since their childhood and had taught them many things.
Strictly speaking, Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades should all call William 'Master'.
Ah, William always enjoyed seeking fun.
Even the mighty Cronus was considered by William to be too weak, and fighting him was just a way to pass the time, let alone the power of the sea god Poseidon.
Older people often don't like to admit their age, much like William, who always enjoyed playing the role of a younger man. When he was with Artemis, he even shamelessly called Poseidon 'Master', causing Artemis to burst into giggles.
Now that Artemis is no longer around, William has started new pranks. He even finds it okay to casually beat up Poseidon's avatar, just as a form of practice.
"William, if you didn't die back then... did you ever find out what really happened during that cataclysm of the gods?" Delmar thought that if William had survived that disaster, logically, he would have investigated the exact circumstances.
"William, if you didn't die back then... did you ever find out what really happened during that cataclysm of the gods?" Delmar thought that if William had survived that disaster, logically, he would have investigated the exact circumstances.
Mentioning that past cataclysm, William, despite his thick skin, felt somewhat embarrassed about killing so many people, among whom were many old friends.
"I really don't know about that," William laughed. "Why would I bother investigating such things?"
Delmar was stumped by his question: "If you're not busy, shouldn't you be looking into these things? What's the point of living so long otherwise?"
William chuckled, "So, what meaningful things have you done in all your years?"
Delmar earnestly replied, "Improving my strength! Only by becoming stronger can one live longer! It's the way to explore the truths of the universe, seek true immortality, and become undying."
"Undying?" William frowned. "And then what?"
"Then? Then just eat, drink, and be merry every day, carefree. If one is already immortal, then naturally, there's nothing to fear."
The sea god Poseidon and other Soulmancers, many strive to increase their strength to become more powerful.
Because only the sufficiently strong can survive.
But William doesn't need to upgrade his power levels!
Moreover, he's already immortal, invincible even.
Aren't others busy seeking adventures and enhancing their powers to achieve the state he's already in?
Yet, William did nothing and already attained this status.
William nodded, "I think you make a lot of sense, so I'll be going now."
"No, wait, even if you didn't investigate that cataclysm, you must have looked into that great demon, right?" Delmar frowned. "If we let him continue like this, won't the world face destruction again?"
"Don't ask me, I know nothing!" William said and disappeared on the spot.
The great demon?
Back then, he watched others eliminate their negative personas, and he did the same, but even he didn't know what he expelled from himself.
Certainly, it wasn't just a simple negative persona. Later, that thing tried to replace him, and he obliterated it with a single slap.
But the fact was, its consciousness still existed.
Could it be that the entity he expelled was also immortal?
Using a more scientific theory, it might be explained as energy conservation.
Although William killed that entity, its energy still wandered through the universe. This conscious energy was attempting to reassemble itself and achieve resurrection.
But what was the point of its resurrection?
Destroy the world? Nôv(el)B\\jnn
If William got displeased, another slap would send it drifting through the cosmos for tens of thousands of years before it could resurrect again.
As Delmar said, when you reach a level like William's, immortal and invincible, shouldn't you just enjoy life?
When William returned, Alice had already come out of the bedroom, and his current concern was how to make Alice stronger.
He was immortal and invincible, but Alice had a long way to go.
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere," William said as he sat next to Alice, who was leisurely lying on the sofa eating chips.
"Huh?" Alice's eyes widened as she looked at William, defensively saying, "I'm not going anywhere!"
"That's not an option!" William wasn't asking for her opinion.
Not going?
Just lazing around here, eating and drinking?
"No going means no going!" Alice clung to Luna with a determination not to let go.
The last time William said he would take her somewhere, she ended up spending over a month in a dark and damp cliff base. Now he wants to take her to another place?
Was she a fool?
Especially now that there's another woman living in their house. If she just leaves like this, who knows, William might even have a child by the time she returns.
William didn't waste words with her and simply dragged her away, disappearing from the room.
Alice only felt a blur before she found herself at a volcano crater.
This was still the newly emerged landmass, but this volcano had been dormant for many years.
"Why did you bring me here?" Alice panicked a bit, staring into the dark, empty volcano crater, feeling an ominous premonition.
"To practice flying in the air!" William stated matter-of-factly.
"Why here? I can practice anywhere else!" Alice's foreboding feeling grew stronger.
"Because, I think this place can stimulate your potential!" William glanced at the crater, where hot lava had already started to spurt out.
"You... you're not thinking of..." Alice stared at William, fearing he was about to do something horrifying.
He wasn't planning to throw her in, was he?
Last time, being thrown off a cliff was one thing, but now directly into a volcano?
And this volcano, originally extinct, had been reactivated by William.
"Exactly!" William said with a smile, "Are you going down yourself, or should I push you?"
"You're serious?" Alice was on the verge of tears, fearing actual murder.
Another attempt on his wife's life?
"To learn to fly over this volcano!" William explained, "Your practice area is only above this crater, you can't leave it. We're not in a hurry, we'll take it day by day."
William continued, "I'll be with you this time. If you stick with it for a month, you should be good."
"A month?" Alice bit her lip, looking incredulously at William.
"Yes, a month, roughly," William nodded seriously, "Let's start now. Eight hours a day, you'll progress rapidly."
Alice, realizing the situation was unchangeable, glared at William and said, "Don't move, I'll do it myself!"
William nodded, and Alice summoned the Sword of Soulbreaker, gripping the hilt and slowly flying above the volcano crater.
"Happy now?" Alice shouted loudly.
William, standing by, shook his head, "This is just the beginning."
