Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 530 This is too difficult

"It's Jed!!"

"The first guardian of the Divine Realm, Jed?!"

A Shapeshifters leader recognized Jed, and the news frightened everyone else from taking another step forward.

Jed Carlson, the Guardian of Light, had been a deterrent in the Divine Realm for tens of thousands of years, considered an invincible existence below the level of Supreme Deity.

What does being at the Supreme Deity level imply?

Drakaina stood by William's side, her smile somewhat peculiar as she asked in a low voice, "Jed, you know who that is, right?"

She still had a trump card up her sleeve, which, in her view, should be just right to deal with Jed, then she would take the opportunity to rescue Hydra.

Assuming no other powerful figures from the Divine Alliance were drawn in, there should be no problem.

But now, with William's forceful intervention, it all depended on whether William had the strength to confront Jed.

"Guardian of Light, Jed?" William looked at the figure, faintly recalling some memories...

"Yes, Jed, the first guardian of the Divine Realm. Can you beat him?"

Drakaina looked at William with a teasing smile.

She now seriously doubted that William was hiding his true strength.

After all, Jesus had renounced his divine power in front of William, and seeing how eagerly the ancient dragon sought to please him, Drakaina even thought that William might possess the power of a Supreme Deity...

If that was the case, it couldn't be better.

"Reverse psychology?" William glanced at Drakaina, his look alone imposing a strong sense of oppression on her.

Drakaina suddenly dared not speak anymore.

Really just a Mortal Deity level of power?

Thinking about it now, Drakaina felt she'd have to be a fool to believe that.

At this moment, she even suspected that William might actually be the sea god Poseidon himself...

"You all step back!" William said, "I will bring out Hydra."

The ancient dragon and Jesus, knowing the extent of William's power, naturally did not consider Jed a threat. Hearing William's instruction, they stepped back.

Jed?

How strong could he be?

In the presence of William, claiming to be powerful might just mean a misunderstanding of what true strength is.

Drakaina, filled with curiosity about William's identity, took the opportunity to leave and gather some information.

It wouldn't be appropriate to ask Jesus, but the ancient dragon seemed quite talkative...

The Shapeshifters leaders who came with them had no choice but to follow Drakaina away.

Soon after, only William and Jed were left at a place known as God's Tear Ridge.

William took a step forward, and an invisible force descended from the sky, striking his heart with precision.

Jed took a swig of his drink, sighing, "Young man, you know nothing!"

He had sensed William's presence, merely at the Mortal Deity level.

To him, a mere Mortal Deity struck in the heart with such force would surely be obliterated without needing a second glance.

William calmly spoke, "Little bird, what are you talking about?"

Jed frowned.

Little bird? Who dared address him in such a manner?

Wait, the Mortal Deity didn't die?

Jed suddenly realized something was amiss. Turning stiffly to face William, he stared at him for a long while.

"Hissss—"

After getting a clear view of William's face, Jed couldn't help but take a sharp breath, utterly shocked, "William the Obliterator? You've been resurrected?"

William smiled, "I've never died, so how can there be talk of resurrection?"

"Why haven't there been any news of you for so many years then?" Jed looked at William curiously, "If you've never died, then you're pretending to be at a lower power level, right?"

William didn't deny it, simply nodding, "That's right, it's fake."

Upon hearing William's words, Jed asked excitedly, "So you possess the power level of a Supreme Deity now?"

"Supreme Deity level?" William furrowed his brows, finally remembering who Jed was, and shook his head, "No, I am not at the level of a Supreme Deity."

Jed burst into laughter, "Ha ha ha ha! As expected, even you haven't reached the level of a Supreme Deity."

William smiled along.

Jed continued, "Back in the day, I only lost to you by a single move. Over the years, I've diligently practiced my swordsmanship. Seeing you today, I fear you are no longer a match for me!"

William remained silent.

Back then, he enjoyed challenging others for fun. Knowing Jed was a swordsmanship expert, Jed insisted on a duel. To keep their future interactions enjoyable, William always made sure to win by a narrow margin.

This led Jed to believe that while William was strong, he was only slightly better than him.

"Did you come here to rescue Hydra?" Jed smiled knowingly, "I remember back in the day, Hydra always accompanied you. It seems your bond is truly deep."

Jed, appearing to understand everything, proudly said, "I've wanted to challenge you to another sword fight for years but couldn't find you. So, when I learned Hydra was sealed, I volunteered to guard this God's Tear Ridge, and sure enough, I waited for you!"

"How do you think I've spent these years?"

Jed grew more and more excited.

William tentatively asked, "Hardcore Gamer?"

Jed looked puzzled, "What's a Hardcore Gamer?"

"Oh, nothing, just reminded me of you." William hadn't expected someone to wait for him for hundreds of thousands of years, especially a man.

And this man seemed to believe that William would inevitably come to save her...

It was hard to know how to respond.

Jed didn't care about William's thoughts and said, "Rescuing Hydra is simple, you just have to beat me."

William initially wanted to say it indeed sounded simple, but after a thought, he reluctantly said, "This is too difficult."

Jed drained the jug of wine, tossed it aside, and with a grand gesture, summoned a sword of light into his hand, excitedly staring at William, "Come on! Let me see if, after all these years, your swordsmanship remains as strong as ever!"

William raised an eyebrow, "I don't have a weapon. I gave my sword away."

"…"

Jed looked as if he had been turned to stone.

A warrior obsessed with swordsmanship practices his sword day after day, solely to have a match with the opponent he admires in his heart. After finally waiting for the day to compete in swordsmanship, the opponent says, "I didn't bring a weapon, just stab at me directly..."

Where's the fun in that?

What was all the preparation for?

"You... how could you give your sword away? Who did you give it to?" Jed's eyes were bloodshot, his expression a mix of excitement and a sense of loss.

"My wife, well, she's also my student."

"…" Jed clenched his fists, his teeth gritted in anger, "A woman?! Yet another woman! Do you realize? Women only slow down your swordsmanship!"

"And she's your student?" Jed's face showed rage, "Your student became your wife?"

"You, as a teacher, took action towards your female student?"

"And you have the audacity to say it out loud? Disgusting! You could've solved it with money! Spend a little, even if it's to visit the red-light district, how much could it cost, even if you sneak into the red-light district. And yet you openly talk about it! Absolutely vile!"

Upon learning that William had given his divine sword to someone else, Jed looked like he was about to break down mentally without even starting the fight, appearing on the verge of a mental collapse.
