Chapter 851 Parthenon
The Sword Spirit of the Sword of Soulbreaker spent its days longing to unleash its full power for a thrilling experience.
After all, when it was wielded by William, it would recklessly charge and slaughter ancient ferocious beasts.
During the battle with the Cosmic Entity Guardians, it goes without saying, what deity could stand against it and not meet their end?
During that battle, William even refined its blade a second time, making it arguably the strongest artifact in all the cosmos.
Yes, the strongest!
Alice's power was indeed very weak, which prevented the Sword of Soulbreaker from slashing and unleashing its full power freely.
Now that William had given that mask to Alice, thinking about her power skyrocketing and breaking through the seals William had set was no issue.
Wouldn't that be delightful?
From now on, Alice could wield it and wreak havoc!
"I just won't break the seal," Alice said, ignoring the Sword Spirit and leaning close to William with a smile, "Do I still need to become stronger?"
"It's up to you."
William had wanted Alice to become stronger because he feared what had happened to Artemis might happen to her.
But now, William was so powerful that even the Cosmic Entities couldn't touch him. What did he have to fear?
He himself didn't even want to become stronger anymore and found the idea quite boring. Why would he ask Alice to do something he himself was unwilling to do?
So what if Alice chose to be a slacker?
With him around, who could possibly harm Alice?
Hearing William say this, Alice's eyes narrowed into slits: "I've noticed you've changed!"
William chuckled, "Indeed, I have changed a bit."
Alice, hands behind her back and head tilted back, declared, "Then I won't break the seal!" She slowly put on the mask and could feel a surge of power filling her body. It seemed she could break the seal on the Sword of Soulbreaker in just a moment.
But if William was by her side, why would she need to become so powerful?
After five years in the Divine Realm, Alice was no longer the stubborn, naive heiress she once was.
She also realized that reaching William's level of power was probably impossible.
William was too strong!
During her five years in the Divine Realm, she had heard from Rhadamanthus and Jesus about the powerful beings there.
She had asked Jesus about his past, and he said he had been the Son of God, his power not inferior to the current high-ranking god-kings.
Yet, in William's presence, he was as weak as a newborn baby.
Later, Alice also inquired about the current powerhouses in the Divine Realm.
Their answers included Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hades, Uranus, and the King of Demons, Satan...
But these powerful beings were mere novices in front of William, none could withstand a single strike from him.
Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon had once been under William's tutelage. How powerful William was, one could only imagine.
Today, following William to the battle with the Cosmic Entity Guardians, seeing him intimidate all the Cosmic Entities with his own strength, and even capturing and modifying the Invincibility created by the Cosmic Entities, storing it easily in a spatial storage ring.
With such a powerful William by her side, did she still need to become stronger?
"Leaving the seal intact is fine, girl. Fighting and killing isn't really nice," William's sense of crisis had dissipated, and he no longer felt the need to change Alice's fate to make her stronger.
Alice's five years of trials in the Divine Realm had not only increased her strength but also her insight and courage.
It was not so much that William had changed, but Alice had too. Alice had transformed from someone who was terrified of even levitating to a strong individual who could face being hunted by the big shots of the Divine Realm without changing her expression.
"So, will you still leave me here alone in the future?" Alice knew after seeing William's true strength that if he wanted to come to her from Earth, it was merely a thought away.
She hadn't been angry that he hadn't come to find her in five years,at that time, she just felt that she needed to become stronger, otherwise, she wouldn't be worthy of William. His actions were merely meant to train her to become stronger.
Of course, she had also thought... maybe William had abandoned her!
So when William came to find her in the Divine Realm, she clung to him and refused to let go.
At that time, she was truly afraid that if she let go, William would disappear.
These thoughts, she dared not speak or ask, because in the Divine Realm, most deities didn't care about love. Abandoning love to focus on becoming stronger was a common practice among these deities.
She was really afraid William would do the same.
"From now on, you'll be by my side, wherever I go, you go," William gently squeezed Alice's hand and smiled, "I'll take you to meet some of my friends."
"So, I'll be your clingy girlfriend?"
William raised an eyebrow, "You don't want to be?"
Alice smiled broadly, like a flower blooming in spring, "I guess I'll just follow you around."
"But suddenly like this, I always feel like you're going to sell me somewhere, haha!"
"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?" William always considered himself to be gentle and refined, especially towards his wife.
How could he sell his wife?
He, William, was not so destitute.
After realizing some things, William naturally wouldn't be so strict with Alice anymore, like creating troubles for his wife as he had done before. He felt he wouldn't do that again.
If possible, upon returning to Earth, he would just live quietly in his little courtyard, going out to fish and cook every day, having someone by his side seemed quite nice too.
"How about I take you to a place in the Divine Realm called the ends of the heavens? You've probably never been there." William had once toured all over the Divine Realm, and the ends of the heavens, with its beautiful scenery, was where Athena lived.
William remembered he had a fairly good relationship with Athena back then, although Athena was also a bit of a pushover, but William occasionally let her win a bit, and it was quite enjoyable.
He remembered after returning to the Divine Realm, he had overturned Athena and Zeus's chessboard, now he was taking Alice there to see.
Zeus whispered from the side, "Are you going to Athena's territory?"
William nodded, "What about it?"
Zeus put on a mask, "That's within the Divine Alliance's territory, I'm afraid the Divine Alliance people, unable to find someone to preside over their affairs, will come begging me to return as that boring King of the Gods."
William laughed, "With your mask on, won't they fail to recognize you? I'll wear a mask too, let's go have a look!"
The ends of the heavens also had a famous Parthenon in the Divine Realm, and a city called Metispolis, managed by Athena, thus many deities chose to follow Athena and live there, making it quite lively.
This time, William planned to take Alice on a tour of the Divine Realm, starting from Metispolis city.
However, this time, they needed to hide their identities. After putting on masks, they would appear to others as just ordinary deities, likely not causing any trouble.
After all, Alice had been a wanted person by the major powers of the Divine Realm for five years, many powerful beings recognized her, and Zeus especially so.
If they showed their faces, it would definitely attract widespread attention in Metispolis and surely cause major upheaval.
