Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 583 There's no one more cunning than him!

Hades trembled as he received the Seven Treasures Staff from William.

"Is this... Master, is this the legendary Seven Treasures Staff?" Although Hades is Zeus's brother and the formidable ruler of the underworld, he didn't possess any extremely powerful artifacts.

The Seven Treasures Staff, renowned as one of the top ten super artifacts from the era of the ancient gods, is considered slightly superior to Poseidon's Sword of the Abyssal Guardian.

William nodded, "Yes, that should be it. It was crafted by God and the angels, embedding it with seven Infinity Stones, a powerful staff bestowed upon the Archangel Amenadiel, if I recall the name correctly."

Taking the Seven Treasures Staff with both hands, Hades took a deep breath, overwhelmed with emotion.

Such a powerful artifact was given to him so casually by William.

Just because he acted coquettishly towards William...

"Thank you, Master!" Hades knelt before William right there.

With the Seven Treasures Staff, not only would his combat power significantly increase, but he might also break through the limitations to ascend to a higher godly realm.

Such a grand favor was beyond repayment.

"Get up! Kneeling is not in vogue anymore." William didn't think there was anything special about this Seven Treasures Staff; it was just prettier, composed of seven different colored gems, looking colorful, shiny, and very attractive.

Hades then stood up and asked, "Master, how did this artifact come into your possession?"

William thought for a moment, "Seems like that Archangel Amenadiel took it to steal Poseidon's two artifacts..."

"Hmm, then he showed up at my doorstep, wanting to take my sword," William declared confidently, "So, I took this from him."

Hades and Rhadamanthus were dumbfounded.

They knew the Seven Treasures Staff was Archangel Amenadiel's strongest artifact but were unaware that Amenadiel had once used it to steal two of Poseidon's artifacts.

With the Seven Treasures Staff, Archangel Amenadiel was notoriously arrogant, capable of seizing control of others' artifacts, making them his own. There were even rumors of him taking two weapons from Diablo.

Given it was embedded with seven Infinity Stones, one could only imagine the staff's power.

But hearing William's casual tone made it seem all too easy.

"Archangel Amenadiel's strongest artifact, just taken away like that?"

It was as if a strong man ran into a kindergarten to steal a lollipop from a little girl.

Hades envisioned the scene of William snatching the magical artifact from Archangel Amenadiel.

Amenadiel, one of God's most loyal messengers back in the day.

Ha!

He actually thought of stealing William's sword?

What bad luck!!

"Master, if Archangel Amenadiel or God comes to me demanding this artifact, how should I respond?" Hades was genuinely concerned.

After all, Amenadiel was one of God's most faithful messengers, and while the Seven Treasures Staff was in William's hands, Amenadiel wouldn't dare harbor any thoughts.

But if the Seven Treasures Staff was in Hades's possession, that would be a different story.

It wouldn't be surprising if God, upon finding out, sent someone to demand it from Hades.

After all, such a powerful artifact was originally Amenadiel's, so if God wanted it back, what could he do?

William said carelessly, "Whoever asks you for it, just give it to them and come find me. I'll snatch all their artifacts for you!"

Rhadamanthus, listening on the side, was buzzing with thoughts.

What was he even saying!

Was he looking down on the power of those high gods?

Hades was overjoyed, nodding continuously, "Understood, Master!"

He was now considering whether to flaunt the Seven Treasures Staff around. If he encountered any high god who wanted to steal his artifact, he could just hand it over and then...

Hiss—

Just thinking about it felt so thrilling!

"What kind of sneaky plan are you concocting?" William squinted at him, saying, "You're not thinking of deliberately giving it away, are you?"

Hades's face changed, "How could that be? Why would I do such a thing?"

William snorted, "Do I not know what kind of person you are? You'd better not have such ideas."

Hades, always full of cunning schemes, was always looking to outsmart others.

"Right, I have something to ask you," William said. "Last time, you passed on that forgetting ritual, which increases strength through severing emotions, to a girl named Evelyn. What's that about?"

"Evelyn?" Hades thought for a moment, then said, "You mean that girl from the Prime World? At that time, it was discovered that the Divine Realm was on the verge of collapse, so I sent someone to the Prime World to scout ahead. By chance, we found this ordinary person with fairly good potential, so I took her as my disciple. For ordinary people wanting to quickly enhance their strength level, cutting off emotions works faster."

William looked at him expressionlessly, making Hades's scalp tingle.

"It's not... I remember that girl was a bit special. You should know, the power of faith from ordinary people is very important to us. The girl's power of faith actually increased my strength significantly, so I thought she would achieve greatness in the future. But recently, for some reason, I lost her power of faith... and I can't sense her current situation either..."

Seeing William's displeased expression, Hades instantly panicked.

William seemed to understand something.

Those who have deeper interactions with him experience many changes in luck and fate.

Alice, Amy, and Evelyn, their fates have all changed.

This is the so-called Law of Cause and Effect.

William is so powerful that even unintentional actions can change a person's fate.

Evelyn consumed a drop of William's blood, awakening memories from two lives, which inevitably changed her fate.

First, she became Hades's disciple, but then William nullified her supernatural abilities, effectively severing the Law of Cause and Effect between her and Hades.

Now, having become a disciple of Moros, Hades naturally lost Evelyn's power of faith.

High-ranking god-kings gathering disciples is essentially for the collection of the power of faith.

The more disciples and followers they have, and the stronger these disciples are, the more powerful the accumulated faith power becomes.

Cosmic Entities operate in a similar manner. Whether it's high-

ranking god-kings, the Grand Lord of the Shapeshifters, or even dark demon lords, as long as they adhere to the laws set by the Cosmic Entity, the stronger the Cosmic Entity becomes.

Hades perhaps thought Evelyn was somewhat special, hence he casually passed down the forgetting ritual that enhances strength through severing emotions.

He thought this secret technique would quickly boost strength, without having any other special intentions.

"It's nothing serious, you don't need to be so nervous," William shifted the topic, saying, "So, Rhadamanthus will come with me to do something, you don't mind, do you?"

Hades looked at William full of hope, saying, "Master, why don't you take me directly instead?"

Following William would be an incredible opportunity, how could he let his subordinate seize it first.

Rhadamanthus stood aside, not daring to speak.

He couldn't dare to compete with his own master!

William glanced at Hades and said, "You, my boy, have too many bad intentions. It doesn't fit the character profile I had in mind for the last member of the team I'm assembling. No!"

"Script?!" Hades looked puzzled, then quickly realized that wasn't the point, hastily saying, "Master, how can you say I have many bad intentions? I'm so innocent and straightforward."

"Scram!" William had no words for him.

Innocent and straightforward, him?

Back in the day when he was younger, whatever he wanted to eat, he would provoke those ancient divine beasts, deliberately luring them towards William's residence.

There's no one more cunning than him!

"As you command!" Hades carefully stored the Seven Treasures Staff and stood aside obediently.
