Chapter 716 So you do smile!
Chapter 716 So you do smile!
In today’s chaotic world, to put it bluntly, it’s all the doing of Cosmic Entity Dolly from the thirteenth universe.
Clearly, she wants the creatures on Earth, including but not limited to humans, to evolve and break through once again.
spride themselves on being advanced life forms, but ever since the world of the gods was destroyed, humans on Earth millions of years ago were merely mid-tier in the food chain, scavenging leftovers behind fierce beasts.
It wasn’t until Prometheus brought the divine fire to humanity that they started cooking their food, reducing their intake, decreasing diseases, and using fire to fend off wild animals and make tools.
That was the beginning of a new era.
But no matter what, in the thirteenth universe, humans are quite ordinary. If it weren’t for William, a freakishly powerful being, Dolly wouldn’t care so much about Earth.
Since William destroyed the era of the gods with a single strike, Dolly spent a great deal to create the Divine Realm and three thousand other parallel dimensions.
Earth is merely the foundation or the basement of a large building.
The Divine Realm is the ground floor.
Would you give a luxury finish to a basement?
Originally, Dolly thought that even if William was strong, he was still under her control. But ever since she took William to the Cosmic Entity Guardians’ battle, she realized.
William’s strength was not ordinary; it was outrageously powerful.
He’s a big shot not to be messed with!
Since William is fond of Earth, she decided to give it a “luxury finish.”
Of course, she knew William might not like this style of renovation, but even if he didn’t, he wouldn’t tear down the house.
That works out just fine.
William and the others waited outside the makeshift hospital for over two hours before Calvin finally came out, dragging his exhausted body.
“William, why isn’t Alice with you?” Calvin asked, his voice trembling slightly.
Although he wasn’t very familiar with Soulmancers, he knew that many powerful ones could be quite ruthless.
William was strong, extremely so, but Calvin didn’t know the extent of his power. He worried about the day when William and Alice might have a falling out.
What would happen to his daughter then?
He had even heard of Soulmancers who killed their own spouses to sever emotional ties!
“Dad, don’t worry, she’s fine! Actually, you can video call her,” William said, having returned specifically to reassure Alice’s family.
“Video call? But aren’t many of the signal towers destroyed? Can it work?” Calvin asked, a smile finally breaking across his face upon hearing William’s assurance.
If William was arranging a video call with Alice, she must be alright!
“It’ll work, I’ll call her now.” William didn’t put on airs in front of Calvin. After all, how could he afford to treat his father-in-law poorly after marrying Alice?
William promptly took out his phone and dialed Alice.
Alice answered almost immediately upon hearing the ringtone: “What’s up? I’m in the middle of a fight with a monster!”
Calvin could see the shaky footage on the screen, catching a glimpse of Alice’s profile before the call was overwhelmed by loud noises.
Then, a lion as large as a skyscraper appeared on the screen.
“Gotta go!” Alice hung up abruptly.
“Holy shit! What was that thing?” Walker had also seen the gigantic lion and was terrified.
When did such monsters start appearing on Earth?
It was truly horrifying.
“It’s nothing. Just a Shapeshifter,” William replied nonchalantly.
“What kind of powerful Shapeshifter is that big?” Walker asked, “What’s Alice’s power level now?”
“Power level? I don’t know,” William admitted, not having kept track of Alice’s current strength. Logically, her abilities should have improved during his absence.
Calvin spoke with a hint of nervousness, “I saw that lion was quite big, is Alice really okay? Shouldn’t you go help her?”
Walker laughed heartily, “Mr. Turner, you might not realize how powerful your daughter has become. What help could William possibly offer?”
Calvin fell silent, and William quickly reassured him, “Dad, don’t worry, she has a lot of strong teammates with her. She’ll be fine.”
As he spoke, William placed his hand on Calvin’s shoulder.
Calvin felt a warm flow spreading from every pore in his body, washing away the aches and pains accumulated from years of work. Even his chronic back and shoulder pain instantly improved.
“Dad, work is work, but you still need to take care of your health,” William said with a smile. “Your health is the driving force behind your work. If you fall ill, what will happen to those injured people? This is a long battle.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Calvin felt William’s concern for him. Although the video had shown Alice in what seemed like a dangerous situation, William’s calm demeanor had a reassuring effect on him.
He chose to trust William.
“William, you’re so powerful, don’t you want to do something for the country?” Calvin finally asked a question that perhaps wasn’t his place to ask.
Walker chimed in, “Mr. Turner, of course William is going to do something for the country. He’s coming with me to the base soon, and he’ll join me in clearing out those strange creatures and saving refugees.”
William nodded and added, “That’s right, I’m planning to visit the base.”
“You shouldn’t keep Mr. Turner from his rescue work here, come with me,” Walker said, and then started pulling William away.
William looked back at Calvin and said, “Dad, I’ll come to see you again next time.”
William, having lived for a billion years, felt no embarrassment in calling someone else “Dad.”
It came very naturally to him.
Amy also followed closely behind William, calling out to Calvin, “Mr. Turner, goodbye.”
Seeing Amy, Calvin smiled warmly and gave William a deep look, secretly hoping that William and Alice could have a child together.
If they had a child, surely it would be as adorable as Amy.
As William and Walker headed towards the base, Amy finally found the opportunity to boast to William, “Mr. Johnson, do you know how powerful I am now?”
“How powerful?” William asked with a smile, playfully patting Alice on the head.
Amy tilted her head up proudly and said, “Do you know about the S-rank in the current power level standards? I’m an S-rank! Ranked eleventh in the world.”
“Ranked eleventh worldwide?” William raised an eyebrow, his smile broadening as he praised her, “That’s impressive!”
In fact, with the equipment Amy possessed, she could probably rank in the top three in actual combat arenas, and being first wasn’t out of the question, clearly, she didn’t have top-tier artifacts like Zeus’s Lightning Scepter.
Such items were just too overpowered for the creatures on Earth, much like if Alice wielded the fully unsealed Sword of Soulbreaker in the Divine Realm, wouldn’t she wreak havoc?
Walker, observing William’s face, remarked, “So you do smile!”
“Heh!” William glanced at Walker with a cold chuckle, his disdain quite evident.
