Chapter 596 I knew you’d like this surprise
Alice tried some Shadowlight Herb and found it surprisingly tasty.
Perhaps anything prepared by William, a top-notch chef, could taste decent, even if it were something as unappetizing as dog poop.
“By the way, Alice, I’ve prepared a surprise for you,” William said.
Alice, who had just gotten used to the taste of Shadowlight Herb, wasn’t shocked by William’s words.
This must be another piece of bad news…
“Just say it, what’s the scare? I’m ready to accept it now!”
Isn’t this William’s usual style?
Every surprise surely comes with a scare!
And the bigger the surprise, the bigger the scare!
William smacked his lips, “Why would you think that of me?”
Alice put down her dinner knife and said with a dry laugh, “Just get straight to the point!”
Alice almost dares not to expect surprises anymore, just like when she said she wanted to be vegetarian, and then William played a prank on her. After eating, she now emits a faint red glow, looking quite eerie.
“I’ve put together a travel team for you. You can enjoy the scenery while on the way to slay some Shapeshifters transformed from ferocious beasts and demons, for an unforgettable journey,” William explained. “The scenery along the way should be pretty good.”
“Uh, this is your surprise for me?” Alice asked expressionlessly, “Slaying Shapeshifters all the way? Is this another new challenge you’ve designed for me?”
“It can be understood as a script,” William said. “Anyway, your team members are already prepared for you, and a vehicle has been arranged.”
“By the way, one of them named Loki needs to be rescued from the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods’ Heavenly Dungeon before you can start this journey.”
Alice pondered for a moment and said, “You haven’t assigned a mission to the Shapeshifters where I’m their prey, and killing me would complete their mission, have you?”
This scheme, after all, isn’t something new to Alice!
The team members you’ve thoughtfully put together for me, are they to protect me in case of an accident?
Now that she’s become the team leader, she’s naturally the primary target!
However, William shook his head and said, “No! You’ve got it completely wrong!”
“This time, Jesus has been captured, and all you need to do as the team leader is to rescue him!” William explained, “Your squad members are each stronger than the last! How about that? Happy?”
Alice raised an eyebrow, “So, you’re saying I can command them to rescue Jesus?”
William shook his head, “No, no, no! They have their own roles, mainly responsible for carrying luggage, driving, and such. They’re not the main combat force.”
“Driving?!” Alice was baffled.
William stated, “I’ve turned an ancient frost dragon into a car!”
“You really are a genius!”
“Thank you for the compliment!” William smiled.
This should count as a surprise, right?
Alice then asked, “After rescuing Loki, he should contribute something, right?”
“What contribution can Loki make? Don’t you think it’s nice to have Loki tell you jokes? Let’s consider this as honeymooning in the Divine Realm.”
What the hell kind of honeymoon in the Divine Realm is this! 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Alice was almost exploding with frustration, asking, “Then what’s the point of going through all this trouble to rescue Loki?”
“To form a team, to fill the numbers! Isn’t it normal for a team to have five members?” William spoke as if it were the most obvious and justified reason.
Haha!
Such a surprise, indeed!
No matter how Alice thought about it, it felt frustrating.
All the effort to rescue Loki, just to listen to his jokes, and the others not being of much use, even turning an ancient frost dragon into a car. Isn’t flying in the sky better?
Moreover, Jesus is the one who’s been captured for the mission, and the others are just there to make up the numbers. The task of rescuing falls entirely on Alice.
And William dares to call this a honeymoon…
There’s a slight anticipation, though!
Alice, with a dark expression, said, “Then let’s go rescue Loki now!” 𝓵𝓲𝙗𝓻𝓮𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝒎
William laughed, “I knew you’d like this surprise.”
Alice rolled her eyes, truly unsure how William felt she liked it.
From District 3 to District 4, Alice now faces no pressure at all.
With her strength clear to see, although she’s only at the peak of the Elemental Deity level, she can easily overpower those at the peak of the Nature Deity level.
Such strength is more than enough for her to head straight to District 28.
As for energy crystals, after Alice’s body merged with the power of the divine halo, making money became incredibly easy.
William just followed Alice, watching her rush into the Gem Exchange. With her x-ray vision fully activated, betting on gems became like robbing a bandit, earning a fortune, and securing enough energy crystals to go from the fourth district to the 28th.
Breaking through the districts, they headed directly to District 27.
Recently, the news that thousands of Nature Deity elites were defeated by someone named Alice, and her incredibly strong escort, spread throughout the entire Divine Realm.
No one in the Gem Exchange dared to provoke Alice anymore; she had become a legendary figure.
“Alice, if you want to enter District 28, you must become an official deity,” said the director of the Passage Approval Bureau in District 27, who is of Creator Deity level strength. He met Alice without fear, maintaining a superior demeanor.
William stood by silently, letting Alice handle her own affairs, confident that she could manage.
The Passage Approval Bureau’s director was unaware that William was Alice’s escort, as he didn’t seem very strong at a glance.
“How can one become an official deity?” Alice, having fought and defeated many strong opponents along the way, had grown in spirit.
Facing a Creator Deity of a higher level, she was calm and fearless.
“You need to report to the Trial Sovereign. After undergoing certain tests, as long as the Trial Sovereign agrees and reports to the Divine Alliance, you can become one!” the director of the Passage Approval Bureau in District 27 said with a smile. “However, if you wish to serve in District 28, you also need to have some accomplishments.”
“In any case, you should first report to the Trial Sovereign. As for serving in District 28, we can discuss that later!”
Alice had no choice but to nod and thank him.
What else could she say?
Claim she was going to District 28 for a jailbreak?
That would be a bit too audacious!
“Who is the Trial Sovereign in charge of the trials here?” she turned and asked William directly.
She felt there was no need to ask anyone else,asking William was enough.
William said, “Aphrodite, do you know her?”
“Of course, I know!” Alice said, “The goddess of love, Aphrodite, right? The very beautiful one? The wife of Hephaestus?”
William chuckled, “Aphrodite is actually the daughter of the sky god Uranus and the ruler of District 13. In the Divine Alliance, she’s the Trial Sovereign responsible for testing those who wish to become official deities. Her strength is at the Creator Deity level.”
“Hisss—” Alice took a deep breath in surprise.
It seems this Aphrodite is somewhat different from how she’s described in the myths on Earth?
“So, we’re going to find Aphrodite now?” Alice frowned.
William nodded and smiled, “Let’s go!”
Going to find Aphrodite?
The last time William saw Aphrodite, her attitude towards him was a bit strange.
“I have some history with Aphrodite; I’d better not go. You can go by yourself!”
Alice frowned, “Is she your ex-girlfriend?”
