Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 543 An impossible task?

After Poseidon and Zeus just took Amy as a disciple, both of them immediately stayed with the Galactic Special Forces.

William had been waiting in the courtyard for half a month when Alice finally woke up.

"You woke up so soon, making good progress," William said, looking at Alice without a hint of excitement. "Come on, I'll take you to a nice place."

As soon as Alice opened her eyes, she was startled by William's words.

Why did that sound so familiar?

"Where to?" Alice asked with a pained expression, her voice weak.

"To rescue your future teammates," William said, a slow smile spreading across his face, warm as a spring breeze.

Here it comes!

He's here!

Seeing William's smile, Alice instantly remembered the scene where William had kicked her off a cliff.

Yes, his smile was just like that back then.

The Divine Alliance's headquarters is located in the center of the Divine Realm, with the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods covering about 460,000 square miles.

It's an expansive area featuring majestic temples built of marble or other stones, showcasing a unique colonnade structure.

The design emphasizes clean lines, symmetrical layouts, tall pillars, and decorative carvings, making it the most energy-abundant place in the entire Divine Realm.

Compared to a remote small town like Blizzard City, this is truly magnificent.

The rest of the architectural structure of the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods is actually quite similar to that of major cities on Earth.

The city streets are laid out in a ring road system akin to Washington D.C., with partition walls dividing the city into 36 layers, from the outermost 1st Zone to the central 36th Zone.

However, access to the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods is strictly controlled; only those recognized by the Divine Alliance can enter the outermost 1st Zone.

To enter the 2nd Zone, one must apply at the auditing agency in the 1st Zone of the Divine Alliance and then get permission from the 2nd Zone's auditing agency.

Intruders will be eradicated by the barrier.

If William wishes, he could directly take Alice into the central 36th Zone.

But of course, Alice must rescue her squad members herself.

Loki is imprisoned in the 28th Zone.

"You're saying... you want me to rescue Loki? The same Loki who tried to conquer Earth and caused chaos in Asgard?" Alice stood in front of the massive gates of the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods, completely overwhelmed.

"Yes, now he's caused trouble in this Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods and is locked up in the 28th Zone," William explained. "You're now at the headquarters of the Divine Alliance. Your task is to find a way into the 28th Zone, rescue Loki, and make him a member of your team. I've arranged everything else for you, including the rest of your team members and your transportation."

Alice was flabbergasted: "Isn't Loki supposed to be with the Time Variance Authority?"

"That's a story from a TV show," William clarified. "In reality, Loki didn't cause much damage to the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods. He was just drunk, spouting nonsense about becoming the Master of the Gods, and got thrown into the Sanctuary's prison."

Alice was bewildered by this new twist on the myth.

It felt like she was in the middle of a mythological story.

Gathering her courage, Alice finally asked, "Just wondering, who's stronger, me or Loki?"

William pondered for a moment and replied, "Loki has the power of a Creator Deity, while you're currently at the Quasi-Deity level."

Alice looked a bit uncomfortable and asked again, "How far behind him in terms of power level am I?"

William thoughtfully said, "After one more promotion, you'll reach Mortal Deity level. After Mortal Deity, there's Guardian Deity, Elemental Deity, Nature Deity, Destroyer Deity, and then Creator Deity. You do the math."

Alice's mind was buzzing.

Was there even a need to calculate?

"And Loki..." Alice took a deep breath, hesitated for a long while, and then said, "How am I supposed to rescue him?"

William nodded, "With your current strength, rescuing him would be impossible, so we'll try to avoid having you confront the situation directly."

If Alice were to attempt rescuing Loki without William's intervention, she would be virtually powerless.

After all, with the power level difference being so stark, the idea of her breaking into the 28th Zone to rescue Loki was utterly fanciful.

Even if Alice were under the protection of a Cosmic Entity, it would only help in situations where her life was threatened, offering little assistance in rescuing Loki.

"So, what should I do?" Alice could tell that William was testing her, but even a test shouldn't be impossibly difficult, right?

William handed Alice an identity token: "This serves as your passport in the Divine Realm. As a disciple of Poseidon, Alice, at the level of a Nature Deity, this token will conceal your soul's energy signature and power level. No one but me will be able to discern your true strength. Furthermore, you won't be oppressed by anyone else's released energy. With this token, if you can lead me to the prison within the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods, you will have succeeded."

"If you need me to fight, just say the word."

This was William's test for Alice.

It wasn't merely a test of combat skills,he also disliked the idea of rushing the process, asking Alice to use the identity token to lead him into the 28th Zone, testing her inner strength.

When you can always remain calm and unaffected by external influences, you are better able to plan and effectively deal with enemies.

Clutching the token William had given her, Alice asked, "What's your power level then?"

"I've told you before, I don't know what strength level I am." William truly doesn't know what his strength level would be considered as.

"Can you beat Loki?"

William just smiled and didn't answer.

Alice then asked, "Aren't you afraid of getting caught?"

William remained silent.

"Alright! I'll give it a try!" Alice looked at the majestic Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods in front of her, thinking she must not let William's efforts go to waste.

Rescuing Loki was akin to a prison break,it had to be done covertly. Alice still didn't know the extent of William's powers.

What if there were others inside even more powerful than him?

If discovered, wouldn't William also be in danger?

The Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods was grand and magnificent, but William didn't bring her here for sightseeing.

Alice adjusted her mindset, repeatedly telling herself, "I am a disciple of Poseidon, I am a disciple of Poseidon."

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

William handed an identity token to Alice. Muttering to herself, Alice's eyes filled with determination. In her view, she could not afford to show any flaws this time.

The two slowly approached the southern gate of the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods, where a nine-foot-tall god clad in golden armor stood guard, accompanied by four soldiers from the Celestial Legion of Olympus.

There weren't as many people heading to the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods as there were to Blizzard City.

The golden-armored god had noticed them the moment William and Alice stood aside, but since they did not approach, he pretended not to see them.

"Halt, please present your identity tokens," commanded the golden-armored god, known as Aries Eryx, one of the Zodiac signs.

He had felt something off about the two from the start, mainly because he couldn't determine their power levels, which was quite strange. Moreover, the two were completely unfamiliar to him.

The girl seemed very nervous.

Sneaky, as if up to something.

William had also blocked his conversation with Alice from Eryx. Otherwise, if Eryx had heard their exchange, he definitely wouldn't have allowed them entry.

Alice remembered how she had to act tough in front of Garen before. She must appear formidable.

After Eryx finished speaking, Alice responded coldly, "And who are you to check my token? Are you even qualified?"

William glanced at Alice, then at Eryx, realizing they might be in trouble...
