Chapter 328 Cause and effect
Chapter 328 Cause and effect
After Amy entered the kindergarten, she sat alone and played for a while until finally, only a little boy came over to chat and play with her.
William had a conversation with Sofia and pretty much understood the situation. It was basically about the other children saying that Amy had no parents, which led to Amy arguing and even fighting, insisting she had parents. However, the person who always came to pick her up from school was her grandfather.
The child Amy had fought with was particularly influential in the class and often brought treats from home to share with other children. He told the others not to play with Amy.
“Children squabble and fight, but it usually blows over after a while,” Sofia said. “Actually, the reason I wanted to meet with Amy’s parents at this parent-teacher meeting is also because I’ve already scolded Logan, the boy she fought with. He has promised to apologize to Amy.”
William nodded as he saw a little boy hesitantly approaching Amy with a small cake, apologizing to her and offering her the cake. Amy quickly started playing with the boy.
“See, I told you, what bad intentions could little kids have?” Sofia remarked. “However, next time, could you please ask Amy’s parents to come pick her up?”
William replied, “I’ll call Amy’s mother and ask her to come pick up Amy later.”
“That would be the best arrangement,” Sofia agreed.
While they were talking, an elderly man exuding a sinister aura entered the kindergarten. William turned his head to look at him, sensing the dark power emanating from the man. A user of dark powers?
And with a “demi-god” level of strength?
Sofia noticed the old man too, her pupils suddenly contracting as her voice changed: “Master, this man is my enemy, please protect these children.”
Seraphina had suddenly come online, presumably sensing the danger.
William frowned slightly, wondering what was happening with the world. Why were there “demi-gods” everywhere?
It seemed like the structures of all parallel dimensions were becoming unstable.
As the old man made a move, William simply glanced at him, and the man vanished. Seraphina was shocked. Had he used some divine power? William calmly stated, “I’ve taken care of it.”
Seraphina was truly frightened.
Her enemy was no ordinary being but a powerful figure from the Divine Realm, a king of a significant faction. Even in the mortal world, his strength was well above that of a high-level Soulmancer. William hadn’t even lifted a hand and had obliterated him?
If Seraphina knew that William had eradicated the beings of an entire parallel dimension just by looking up, what would her expression be?
“Thank you, Master,” Seraphina said with a respectful nod. “Master, Sofia genuinely didn’t know that Amy was also attending this school and had no intention of deliberately getting close to you.”
“I’m aware, she told me,” William replied. π‘πππππͺπ.ππΈπΆ
Seraphina sighed in relief, gaining a new understanding of William’s power. She also felt a bit scared, realizing that if William had decided to act against her during their first encounter, she would have faced the same fate.
“Master, you must be aware of the parallel dimension that has appeared near New York. I’m thinking of persuading Sofia to explore it,” said Seraphina. “I’m also trying to find a way to leave her body. Do you have any suggestions?”
William thought for a moment and replied, “If you leave her body, you’ll dissipate quickly. There’s no helping it; it’s a matter of cosmic law, unless your soul is strong enough to reconstruct a body.”
Seraphina tentatively asked, “Even you can’t do anything?”
“It’s not that there’s no way at all,” William explained. “But if you leave her body, you’ll need to find another body to survive. Wouldn’t that mean erasing another person’s soul?”
“Unless you can find the Magic Lotus and Eternal Vine, concoct a Soul Essence Pill from them, then attach your soul to the Eternal Vine. Using its power, you can transform into a human form, and your strength will be greatly enhanced,” William said, closing his eyes briefly. His consciousness swiftly scanned the parallel dimension that had just emerged. “That parallel dimension should contain these ingredients. I’ll describe the appearance of the Magic Lotus and Eternal Vine to you. Go and search for them. If you find them, I’ll help you make a Soul Essence Pill. In return, you’ll have to do something for me.”
William finally understood something. The cosmic law speaks of cause and effect. He can help others, but they must also pay a price to avoid suffering the consequences of being linked to his actions.
“What do you want me to do?” asked Seraphina.
“We’ll discuss that once you’ve found those items,” William replied, and images of the Magic Lotus and Eternal Vine appeared in Seraphina’s mind.
Seraphina was ecstatic and bowed deeply to William, thanking him profusely.
William continued, “Make sure to uproot the Eternal Vine completely. Plant it in my yard. It should transform into human form within a month.”
“I’ll send Sofia to that parallel dimension tomorrow,” Seraphina said. Despite being a user of dark forces, her heart wasn’t heavily inclined toward murder, or she might have obliterated Sofia’s soul upon possessing her.
William nodded in agreement. Other parents were arriving to speak with Sofia about their children, so he moved to Amy’s side.
Many parents had come for the parent-teacher meeting, using it as an opportunity for socializing and getting to know each other. William, appearing quite young and dressed simply, hadn’t yet attracted any parents’ attention for a conversation.
“He’s my neighbor, big brother William. He cooks really well and even knows martial arts.”
“Martial arts?”
The nearby children all looked up to William with admiration.
William smiled, “I can also make paper airplanes.”
“I can too!” Logan, a child, quickly folded a paper plane and sent it flying.
To help Amy regain some confidence, William folded a plane, which flew out and then returned swiftly to his hand, leaving the group of children in awe.
This magical feat instantly captivated all the kids in the kindergarten, with each one eagerly surrounding William, hoping he would fold them a paper airplane that could fly back on its own.
With time to spare, William indeed folded a plane for each of them.
A middle-aged man, dressed in a suit and wearing a luxury watch, looked disdainfully at William and sneered quietly, “Buddy, you’re not seriously thinking of using these little tricks to run for the position of Parent-Teacher Association president, are you?”
“…” William was a bit puzzled. Is there even a parent committee in schools these days?
The middle-aged man continued to inquire, “What do you do for a living, buddy?”
William replied, “I’m still a college student, why?”
“Heh,” the man scoffed condescendingly and then stopped paying attention to William.
