Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 426 Unleash Your Strongest Punch

William toyed with the fan in his hands, examining the various restriction symbols and spells inscribed on it, and murmured to himself, “The power has been significantly reduced now.”

Typically, others inscribe spells on magical artifacts to enhance their power, but William, in his unique way, was doing everything possible to reduce the potency of his magical artifact.

As he completed the fan, a swath of fiery clouds appeared in the sky above the villa where William resided, accompanied by the echoing cry of a phoenix.

Such celestial phenomena on this newly emerged land, predominantly inhabited by Soulmancers, indicated either the emergence of an extremely powerful magical artifact or the occurrence of a significant event.

William immediately took out his phone and called Steven: “Steven, release a message stating that Alice has had a significant increase in her power level, that her soul has reached the Divine Realm and she has now stepped into the ranks of the deities.”

Steven hesitated for a moment but eventually responded, “Okay, I’ll get the message out.”

Alice’s previous demonstrations had convinced various Guilds that she was a peerless powerhouse, thereby achieving a deterrent effect. Now, William’s request to spread such news might prompt unpredictable reactions from these Guilds.

Despite the seemingly peaceful coexistence, the lack of Alice’s influence could lead to uncontrollable situations.

Still, Steven proceeded as William instructed.

Indeed, it was William who was the true unparalleled powerhouse.

Moreover, with the incorporation of twenty-six powerful Shapeshifters into the 13th Bureau, and the advanced technological inventions by Jhin not just being for show, it seemed they no longer needed to rely on Alice’s pretense of strength.

The 13th Bureau, adept at disseminating false information, went into action.

Among their staff were spies from other Guilds, and Steven deliberately acted as if he was keeping a secret, waiting for them to spread the news that “Alice’s soul has reached the Divine Realm, and she has entered the ranks of the deities.” 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The Guilds were incredibly efficient at spreading messages.

In less than an hour, almost everyone in the Soulmancer community was aware of the news about Alice’s soul reaching the Divine Realm and her ascension into the divine ranks.

At the Emerald Lion Guild, Garen had already summoned several guild leaders who were on good terms with him.

“Gentlemen, have you heard? Alice has broken through to a new level of strength and stepped into the ranks of the deities!” Garen said. “It seems the celestial phenomena we just witnessed were due to her.”

Aurelius nodded in agreement, “That must be the case. We haven’t seen her for quite some time. She was probably preparing to break her own level limits and enter the Divine Realm.”

Garen laughed and said, “Now that she has successfully entered the ranks of the gods, the so-called 13th Bureau doesn’t have any strong individuals left. The 13th Bureau doesn’t amount to much anymore.”

Someone quickly grasped Garen’s implication and said with a sneer, “If that’s the case, why should they control such a vast territory?”

“Moreover, there’s someone named Jhin among them, constantly researching strange things, seemingly intent on antagonizing our entire Soulmancer community. Such a person cannot be allowed to exist!”

They had already seen some of Jhin’s scientific research achievements. Remotely controlled ferocious beasts, extremely powerful, nearly capable of defeating mid-level Soulmancers.

The incident of William donning the 096 battle armor and overpowering Demi-God level fighters, killing mid-level Soulmancers, had already unsettled them.

“You’re right! They already treat us Soulmancers as hypothetical enemies. Since their technology can control the bodies of fierce beasts, does that mean they could also misuse our bodies after we die one day?”

The more they talked, the more agitated they became, especially when discussing Jhin, who seemed to have become a heinous villain in their eyes.

When their discussion reached a fever pitch, Garen spoke coldly, “And there’s that ‘Pretty boy’ William, who abuses his power and killed my disciples. This enmity must be avenged!”

With Garen leading the charge, others joined in.

“Yes! I’ve disliked that ‘Pretty boy’ for a long time! He’s just Alice’s boyfriend, but acts like he’s some unparalleled powerhouse!”

“He’s arrogant and cruel; such a man deserves death!”

“I think, for someone like him who seduces people with his handsome face, before killing him, it would be satisfying to subject him to castration!”

“Brilliant idea! You’re absolutely right!”

…

A group of Soulmancers gathered, discussing and condemning others.

A Guild leader asked, “Given the situation, even if we sentence Jhin and William to death, how do we execute it?”

Aurelius chuckled, “Just send someone to kill them, that’s all.”

Garen, however, waved his hand dismissively, “No, that won’t do!”

Aurelius looked at Garen, puzzled.

Garen sneered, “Don’t they talk about the law? Then William, who committed murder, should be subject to legal sanctions. As for Jhin, who researches those strange technologies and is suspected of endangering world security, causing deaths, should also bear legal responsibility. Let’s jointly write a letter to their 13th Bureau, ordering them to bring William and Jhin to us. If they don’t handle this situation properly, they will have no place to stand on this land!”

…

Soon, an emissary from the Guild Alliance arrived to see Steven.

Holding a letter sealed with wax, the emissary casually threw it towards Steven, saying, “Steven, our Guild leader requests that you bring William and Jhin to the grand hall of the Emerald Lion Guild.”

The messenger of the letter was a Demi-God level powerhouse from the Emerald Lion Guild.

The moment the letter was thrown, it was enveloped in a layer of energy shining with green light. This energy wave, shaped like a sharp blade, cut through the air and flew towards Steven with a buzzing sound.

Steven, scared, quickly dodged, but a Shapeshifter lord behind him casually extended his palm and caught the letter sealed with wax.

“What’s this?” The Shapeshifter lord picked up the letter and started reading.

The face of the Emerald Lion Guild’s messenger changed drastically, astonished that someone could catch his energy blade with bare hands.

Who was this muscular man, and why had he never heard of him before?

“Jhin, William are guilty…” The Shapeshifter lord muttered the content printed on the envelope.

When he saw it written that William was extremely evil, he was too frightened to read further. He looked up in utter shock at the Soulmancer from the Emerald Lion Guild.

It seemed, at first glance, that he was rather weak…

Could it be?

He dared to accuse Mr. Johnson of a crime?

Could it be that he was more powerful than Mr. Johnson? Was he hiding his true strength now?

The Shapeshifter leader, pale with fear, dared not speak and stood timidly behind Steven.

Seeing the Shapeshifter leader’s timid behavior, the messenger from the Emerald Lion Guild levitated into the air, looking down at him from a height, and said to the Shapeshifter leader, “You, the burly man, seem to have some strength, being able to catch my energy blade. How about we spar a bit? I’d like to give you a few pointers.”

The Shapeshifter leader was terrified!

A challenge?

What level of strength did this challenger possess?

He was shaking all over in fear.

Seeing his frightened state, the messenger from the Emerald Lion Guild grew even more arrogant and said, “Boy, attack me with your strongest punch, let me test your strength. I promise I won’t kill you.”

“Hiss—” The Shapeshifter leader took a deep breath in fear. His strength wasn’t that great, even weaker than Luna, and now he was facing an unknown powerful adversary. How should he respond!
