Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

500 The joy continued…

Delmar had always felt that his relationship with William was quite good.

Similarly, he was quite confident in his swordsmanship. Among the high-ranking god-kings of the age of the gods, his swordsmanship was universally recognized as the strongest.

Yet now, William had said, “Your swordsmanship is too simplistic”?

Delmar looked around and saw only Moros nearby…

Alright!

Killing him to silence him was out of the question, especially since he couldn’t overcome William with just his avatar.

What mattered most was that it was William who made the comment.

When William said his swordsmanship was too simplistic, Delmar didn’t dare to disagree. After all, compared to William, perhaps his swordsmanship was a bit simple…

Whatever William said, went.

Alice remained unconscious until midnight before waking up. When she did, William was sitting by her bed.

“Did I win?” Alice asked weakly, looking at William.

William nodded, “Sort of. At least you didn’t lose.”

From a certain perspective, Alice’s battle today could at best be considered a draw.

The archangel was ready to take Alice down with him in his dying moments. If William hadn’t intervened, the outcome would have been unpredictable.

After all, even Chosen Ones aren’t immortal.

Which of the high-ranking god-kings from the age of the gods wasn’t a Chosen One?

Yet in the end, didn’t they all perish?

Alice had just woken up and wasn’t thinking clearly, but in her view, as long as she was still alive, that meant she hadn’t lost.

William asked, “Any thoughts?”

“I want to eat something.” After saying this, Alice suddenly realized she might have misunderstood William’s question and looked at him with a pitiful expression.

“I think that’s a very concerning thought,” William remarked.

“Ha-ha! Is that so? But I really am hungry,” Alice could only offer an awkward smile as she continued to deploy her coquettish tactics.

She clearly remembered that Amy’s coquettish tactics were very effective with William, so she figured her own efforts wouldn’t be too bad either.

“What would you like to eat?” William asked in a gentle voice, sounding like a warm and tender man.

Alice was almost moved to tears – was this what it felt like to have a boyfriend?

“Anything you make is fine.”

She was more than confident in William’s culinary skills.

“Wait here!” William said and then left the bedroom.

Alice sat on the bed, full of anticipation. In less than ten minutes, William returned with a bowl of noodles.

“Instant noodles?” Alice was amused yet slightly disappointed,she had thought William would prepare a feast.

“Make do with this,” William said. “I have something to discuss with you.”

Alice, being an advanced Soulmancer, wouldn’t really be starving,it was just her foodie instincts that made her crave something to eat.

“You talk, I’m listening,” Alice said, getting off the bed and starting to eat the noodles.

William asked, “You can feel that you’ve become stronger recently, right?”

“Yeah,” Alice replied, taking a few bites and finding them surprisingly tasty. “I have gotten quite stronger lately.”

“So real combat does improve your strength,” William observed. His own power had steadily increased over time without any deliberate effort to become stronger.

Now realizing that actual combat could rapidly enhance Alice’s abilities, he was beginning to form some ideas.

Hearing William say this, Alice had a foreboding feeling. She could somewhat guess what William was about to suggest.

“Do you really want to become stronger?” William decided to clarify Alice’s own desires first.

What if she preferred to be a slacker?

Everyone had different pursuits, just as William himself had been striving to become weaker.

“Of course, I want to become stronger!” Alice set the bowl on a nearby cabinet and said earnestly, “I want to catch up to you.”

Hearing her say this, William felt that her desire to become stronger might not be entirely pure…

William hoped that one day she could catch up to his pace, but this hope was undoubtedly very faint.

Even if Alice were to become a high-ranking god-king like the Sea God Poseidon, she still wouldn’t compare to William.

However, becoming a high-ranking god-king is not a simple feat.

The halo of divine light around Alice merely indicated she was chosen by a Cosmic Entity and had the potential to become a high-ranking god-king. But becoming one is a very long process.

After Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades, the three brothers, defeated Cronus, William, in his leisure and seeking amusement, divided Cronus’s power into three parts and distributed it among them, making them true gods ruling over their respective domains.

Look at Moros and the other twelve deities of witchcraft,each of them had talents surpassing Alice’s.

After tens of thousands of years, they were still only at the level of Destroyer Deities.

For Alice to become a high-ranking god-king was already a daunting challenge, let alone catching up to William…

Even William found it difficult.

Unless… she could, like the entity William expelled, gather power from three thousand parallel worlds and various powerful beings, then there might be a slim possibility.

However, since Alice had expressed such a desire, William was willing to wait and see how she would grow, regardless of how long it took.

“Then let’s wait and see! As long as you put in the effort.” William still intended to be just an observer. He had already taught Alice almost everything he could. He even gave her the Sword of Soulbreaker. If she couldn’t grow on her own, there was nothing more he could do.

Alice nodded vigorously and said, “I will try my best!”

“Go to sleep early,” William suggested, his consciousness scanning the Divine Realm. Just moments ago, Poseidon had begun to recklessly disrupt the spatial structure of the Divine Realm. It wouldn’t be long before the Divine Realm descended.

“Hug me,” Alice said, having lost her appetite. She looked at William meaningfully, clearly not intending to sleep alone.

Who sleeps alone when they have a boyfriend?

“Then you go freshen up first,” William said, taking the bowl and leaving the bedroom. He called out to Erebus, who was sitting on the sofa watching anime, “Erebus, come to the kitchen and wash the dishes.”

Bullying the kid was something William quite enjoyed.

Erebus’s smile vanished instantly. He glanced at Luna, who was still happily watching, then at Ares standing idly by, and reluctantly took the dishes from William to the kitchen. 𝓁𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐ℴ𝘮

When William returned to the bedroom, Erebus quickly came out, glanced at Ares, and said, “You go wash the dishes, I’m busy,” before resuming his anime with the iPad.

The joy continued…

William normally didn’t need to bathe, but he thought it might be nice to do so. By this time, Alice had already entered the bathroom. He decided to knock on the bathroom door.

“Who is it? I’m taking a bath, wait a moment,” Alice called out as she was running the water.

“I thought we could bathe together. I’d like to take a bath too,” William said earnestly.

“Ah?” Alice was surprised by William’s suggestion but cautiously opened the bathroom door a crack, peeking out at William, and whispered, “Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”

“What’s inappropriate about it?” William’s mindset was more open than Alice’s. They had seen everything there was to see about each other,what harm could there be in taking a bath together?
