William arrived at the volcanic crater where Alice had been practicing levitation and found that her condition today was significantly better.
After yesterday's practical experience, Alice had visibly changed, putting more effort into her special training to enhance her strength.
When William arrived, she was attempting more elaborate aerial flips, a feat requiring imnse courage for soone who feared heights.
Isn't improving one's strength all about constantly surpassing oneself, overcoming inner fears, and becoming stronger?
William had always thought Alice lacked talent, even considering her sowhat foolish.
But that depended on the comparison.
Mainly, she had been lazy before.
After going through so much, she had started to change.
William stood near the volcanic crater, and Lucien was nearby too.
"What's the matter? Still can't get over my wife?" William appeared right next to Lucien.
Lucien was taken aback upon seeing William.
He hadn't noticed when William had appeared beside him.
"Alice is your wife now? Don't think I don't know you tricked last ti!" Lucien was not ready to give up, aware of William's formidable power, but he insisted, "Unless you kill , I won't stop pursuing Alice."
William laughed, "Killing you would be too easy."
This statent caused Lucien's face to fluctuate between red and white.
He had always been the pride of his family, the heir to the Nostreda family, and his personal strength was among the best of the younger generation of Soulmancers.
Too easy to kill him?!
Probably only William could say sothing like that.
During the incident at Cozy Book Haven, Lucien had already felt William's power; even now, he still felt the oppressive aura William exuded.
"I know you're strong, but you should know that justice will eventually triumph over evil, and you will die one day!" Lucien also had a system that marked William as a great demon lord.
In Lucien's eyes, being designated as a great demon lord by the system ant William must be a bloodstained executioner.
Killing William would an ridding the world of a great nace!
"Justice will eventually triumph over evil?" William laughed, "What is justice, and what is evil? I'm curious, how have I beco the embodint of evil?"
Lucien also paused in surprise.
Logically, those who harm the world are considered malevolent, but what exactly had William done to harm the world?
"You don't need to explain. Even though I don't know what evil deeds you've committed, I'll keep a close watch on you." Lucien simply believed that the system must be correct.
Recently, he had also followed the system's prompts to kill so people, all of whom were wicked to the core.
Moreover, those were just minor tasks. As a great demon lord, William, with such imnse power, must have committed countless heinous acts.
At that mont, the system in Lucien's mind said, "William once slaughtered billions of beings. If the host kills him, you will directly achieve Creator Deity-level strength."
Billions of beings?
Lucien was utterly shocked.
Previously, the system had instructed him to kill William and identified William as a great demon lord, but it hadn't inford him of William's specific cris.
Slaughtering billions of beings - what does that imply?
Destroying a whole world?
At this point, William said, "Your system isn't wrong. I did obliterate billions of lives. Are you planning to make a move against ?"
"You can hear what the system says to ?" Lucien was utterly astounded that William could hear the system's voice.
This was outrageous.
William spoke disdainfully, "Is it that hard? Just a broken system."
"You can hear what the system says to ?"
A broken system?
Lucien had completed nurous tasks under the guidance of
this system.
After completing these tasks, he received corresponding
rewards, and now he had achieved Quasi-Deity-level strength.
Advancing from an interdiate Soulmancer to a Demi-God
level, and then to a Quasi-Deity level, a normal Soulmancer
would typically need thousands of years.
But with the system, his power soared incredibly. In just over a
month, such breakthroughs were nothing short of miraculous.
Even just basking in the sun would inexplicably boost his
strength level.
The power of the system was thus evident.
It could be said that those who possessed the system were
chosen ones.
Yet William referred to it as just a broken system?
How powerful must William be?
"I heard you. Are you planning to kill now?" William looked at
Lucien with a smile.
If Lucien said he intended to kill William, William wouldn't mind
eradicating him on the spot.
He had given Lucien a chance before.
Lucien frowned deeply and after a long silence, said, "I think if I
tried, I would die."
"I'm not your match yet." Lucien, as a Soulmancer who had
started learning witchcraft and enhancing his body by soaking
in herbal baths, had greatly increased his strength level. Yet, his
intuition told him he was no match for William.
William rolled his eyes and said, "Then you'd better leave now!"
All this talk and no action, why was he still standing there?
Lucien hesitated for a mont and asked, "You're not going to
kill ?"
William couldn't help but laugh, "Do you want to die that badly?"
"You'll regret not killing ," Lucien said coldly, staring at
William. "I will beco your greatest enemy!"
William responded indifferently, "To tell such a thing before
you've even beco my greatest enemy clearly shows there's
a problem with your intelligence. I can't be bothered to kill you!"
Lucien solemnly said, "I think by saying this, you'll actually not
kill !"
"Then you're quite clever!" William laughed. "Now get out of
here! If you're still in my sight after ten seconds, you're dead."
After William spoke, Lucien imdiately took off running and
disappeared from sight.
Was Lucien foolish?
William didn't think so.
Or rather, Lucien's intuition wasn't wrong.
He made a wise choice.
William didn't feel like taking action right now. He wanted to let
things take their natural course.
When there was only one of the hundred "Chosen Ones" left,
the entity expelled from his body would most likely seek to
reincarnate using that person's body.
But as for who would be the last one standing, and whether
that person would still retain their own consciousness, William
wasn't too clear on that.
Let Lucien develop slowly.
It really wasn't interesting to kill soone with such weak
strength.
Alice continued her intensive training at the volcanic crater
until around 12 noon before coming down from the air.
William had noticed Alice's progress. In just one day, she had
significantly improved. In a month, she should be able to fly in
the air proficiently and even engage in aerial combat.
"How about that? Not bad, right?" Alice said with a laugh,
hugging William's arm as she landed.
She hoped William would praise her, as that would make her
happier than anything else.
"Not bad at all," William said, looking up at the sky. "You're
already so powerful. You should be able to protect yourself
from now on."
As he looked up, the states of three thousand parallel
dinsions were all within his view.
The collapse of one parallel dinsion the day before was just
the beginning.
