Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

513 You can provoke, but you must not truly ignite the flames

William gave the Cosmic Entity’s incarnation a good thrashing.

Just simple, straightforward punches to the flesh.

But the Cosmic Entity’s incarnation didn’t resist at all, acting like a punching bag for William to beat up.

“Boring.” With a kick, William sent the Cosmic Entity’s incarnation flying and finally stopped.

Before this, William was somewhat curious about the Cosmic Entity.

He even thought that the Cosmic Entity might be like him, simply powerful to a certain degree.

Like a main god of a parallel dimension setting some world laws.

Now it seems the Cosmic Entity exists in this world in a form of consciousness.

Or rather, the Cosmic Entity does have a physical form but chose not to fight William, hence the elaborate ruse.

The Cosmic Entity must have also concluded that William wouldn’t directly kill it…

From what the Cosmic Entity said, it’s also inferable that besides this universe, there are likely other universes in existence.

William believes these pieces of information were deliberately revealed by the Cosmic Entity.

He hasn’t been naive enough to think the Cosmic Entity is like a frightened little girl, even giving up resistance in front of William.

Could a being possibly born over seventeen billion years ago be weak?

Or to say, would it be scared? Afraid?

Even the “frustration” shown in front of William is probably an act.

A complete drama king!!

It’s even possible that the Cosmic Entity deliberately leaked so much information because it wants to use William for something.

William didn’t bother to expose it, as long as it’s confirmed that the Cosmic Entity is conscious, that’s enough.

In the long and tedious life, he’s found a worthy opponent, it seems.

“Why did you choose Alice?” William had only this question.

He was not in a hurry to inquire about the rest.

And even if he asked, the Cosmic Entity might not necessarily tell him the truth.

In summary, William doesn’t quite trust the Cosmic Entity.

“Of course, it’s because of you!” The message from the Cosmic Entity came swiftly. “I don’t want to be your enemy anymore, so I chose someone close to you to be my guardian. This way, she also has the chance to become immortal like you.”

“Isn’t that good?”

“Immortal?” William scoffed.

He didn’t believe the Cosmic Entity’s guardians could achieve immortality, especially since the one the Cosmic Entity had called its strongest guardian was just annihilated by his punch.

“Yes! It’s somewhat like being immortal,” the Cosmic Entity explained. “Just like those beings you killed earlier, as long as it’s within my universe, I can bring them back to life.”

“It’s just that after resurrection, it’s hard to make their memories exactly the same as before, since it’s a very delicate process.” The Cosmic Entity spoke indifferently, “After all, they were just things created during my boredom, so there’s no need to be so serious about it…”

Resurrecting deceased beings.

Of course, William believed the Cosmic Entity had this capability.

He had personally visited the underworld, which is full of entities similar to consciousness. With the Cosmic Entity’s power, not to mention resurrecting one person, reviving all the beings William had killed over the years was something it had already done.

This particular ability is undoubtedly unquestionable.

Even at this time, the Cosmic Entity was still hinting to William that it could truly resurrect someone, albeit the process might be complex.

It’s not about whether it can or cannot, but whether it wants to or not.

There’s a hint of boasting, or perhaps, it thinks William will beg it to resurrect Artemis…

“Do you think I won’t kill you, or do you think I can’t kill you?” William was certain the Cosmic Entity couldn’t possibly be this weak,it was performing and showing weakness to William.

“Strictly speaking, you really can’t kill me. Even if you destroy this universe, at most, I would fall into a slumber. As long as all the energy in the universe is gathered, it won’t take long for me to be reborn.”

“The most important thing is, I think you would be reluctant to erase such a beautiful universe.”

William laughed!

Was this confidence or just bluster?

Perhaps a bit of both.

As the Cosmic Entity said, his wrath wasn’t so intense, and he wasn’t crazy enough to destroy the entire universe just to test a theory.

“How about, you do me a favor?” The Cosmic Entity suddenly sent another message.

William said with a smile, “Tell me!”

“Make my guardians stronger, or, you become my guardian.”

“As a reward, I can help you resurrect the person you want to bring back to life, including their memories from before.”

William knew this was what the Cosmic Entity really wanted to say.

“Do you think these are things I can’t do myself?” William merely lifted his eyelids, the temptation the Cosmic Entity thought William couldn’t refuse was actually not tempting at all.

Over the years, William had been researching how to resurrect a person.

And indeed, he had achieved it.

Seraphina, along with those vampires and Frankenstein’s monster, all count as a form of resurrection, in a way.

But he had never resurrected Artemis again.

With his current capabilities, he could even directly recreate Artemis from his memories.

The same abilities, endowed with the same memories.

It’s like programming a robot,William could even imbue her with emotions, just like when he created the first humans from clay.

But he hadn’t done so.

Because he wasn’t sure if such a creation would truly still be Artemis.

The Cosmic Entity trying to tempt William with such matters ultimately holds no significance.

Isn’t William the same?

Some things are not about ability, but about willingness. 𝓵𝙞𝓫𝒓𝙚𝓪𝓭.𝒄𝓸𝓶

“You really are a headache.”

“Do you even have a head?”

“…” The Cosmic Entity said, “Is this conversation about whether I have a head?”

“Cut the nonsense!” William frowned, “What exactly do you mean by ‘guardian’?”

The Cosmic Entity could only explain: “Like Alice, who is by your side, she received the holy halo I bestowed upon her, making her my guardian. We, the universes, have an agreement to hold a battle between guardians every once in a while. There are penalties for those who lose, you know.”

William’s smile grew wider, but a terrifying murderous intent enveloped the entire black hole where the Cosmic Entity resided: “Is this why you made Alice a guardian?”

“No, no, no! Like I said, I chose her because I didn’t want to be your enemy. When the time comes, she can choose not to fight!” This time, the Cosmic Entity seemed genuinely panicked, knowing full well the serious consequences of truly angering someone like William, who has the ability to create new spaces.

Or even destroy this universe and take those he wishes to another universe, it’s not impossible!

You can provoke, but you must not truly ignite the flames.
