Chapter 528 Heh, it seems God won't be God for much longer!
As soon as Jesus appeared in front of William, the surrounding Shapeshifter lords scattered in all directions.
Only the ancient frost dragon lay at William's feet like a snow owl.
If William weren't there, this ancient dragon would probably flee faster than anyone upon seeing Jesus.
But now, it wasn't afraid at all.
What about Jesus?
The Son of God, right?
In front of Mr. Johnson, he's nothing!
"Where did this preacher come from? Doesn't he kneel upon seeing Mr. Johnson?"
The ancient dragon outright aligned itself with William's camp, arrogantly roaring at Jesus.
Having been oppressed by the Catholic Church for so many years, it had a belly full of fire upon seeing someone who looked like a preacher.
Jesus put his hands together and smiled at William, "Mr. Johnson, do you remember me?"
William frowned, giving Jesus a look, and recognized him at a glance.
"Jesus?" William was somewhat surprised, "How are you still alive? Weren't you crucified?"
He naturally remembered the person who had accompanied him for a long time.
William had only later learned that the person who had been with him was the Son of God, Jesus!
"..."
Jesus never expected William's first words upon seeing him to be these.
"Mr. Johnson jokes. My experiences after leaving you were indeed bizarre, too complex to be summarized briefly. Now they call me Christ, the Son of God." Jesus asked with a bow and a smile, "So, St. Benedict has gone to heaven, hasn't he?"
"Uh, he's considered dead, I guess." William's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing the title of Jesus.
Was he resurrected?
"You're the Messiah?"
"Messiah?" Jesus looked at William, puzzled.
William realized he might have made a mistake, after all, this is the Divine Realm, not Earth, so naturally, there's no talk of the Messiah here.
"It's nothing, what are you doing here?" William didn't believe this was a chance encounter.
Whether it's the Son of God, Jesus, or Christ, in the Divine Realm, they should not be considered minor figures.
Coming here for no reason surely meant something was up.
Jesus, in front of William, dared not lie and honestly said, "I came here to educate the Hydra."
He even, fearing he might have misspoken, added, "And then to proceed from Blizzard City, slaying Shapeshifters and demons on my way back to the Sanctum of the Holy Light where God resides."
William's eyes narrowed slightly, this perfectly matched his plan to train Alice.
"I think, how about this, you renounce your divine power, and then I'll have someone send you to the Sanctum of the Holy Light. After completing the task, you can become God." William thought he could well craft the script, letting Alice follow Jesus all the way to the Sanctum of the Holy Light, which would be quite good.
But Jesus's current strength was too formidable, and there needed to be bait to attract those Shapeshifter lords, so having Jesus renounce his divine power and be escorted by Alice was the plan.
This seemed somewhat like "A Song of Ice and Fire"?
He wanted to create an interesting story with an important person to be escorted, who would need several protectors, a formidable mount, and well-designed plots to find enough opponents for Alice.
Well, the important person to be escorted was found, and his exclusive mount?
William glanced at the ancient frost dragon lying at his feet.
Yes, that's it!
The ancient dragon, glanced at by William, couldn't help but shrink its tail, a bad premonition rising in its heart.
It felt like William's look just now carried a deeper meaning.
As if a huge "crisis" had appeared right above its head.
What William had just said was bold enough.
To have Jesus renounce his divine power and send him to the Sanctum of the Holy Light was one thing, but the most important was…
To make him God!!
If someone else had said this, both the ancient dragon and Jesus would have scoffed.
But this was said by William...
In any case, whatever he says goes!
Being God is one thing, but in front of William, it really seems a bit weak.
Back then, God essentially camped out at William's doorstep, scavenging leftovers to bolster his strength, sitting at the doorstep until he finally attained divine power and became God.
To put it bluntly, if William asked God to step down, God probably wouldn't even consider it.
"Whatever you say," Jesus responded crisply, then respectfully bowed to William. A golden orb flew out from his forehead, heading straight for the Sanctum of the Holy Light.
The golden orb exploded above the Sanctum of the Holy Light, its brilliant light piercing into the eyes of every deity within.
The gods of the Sanctum of the Holy Light were shocked.
Just moments before, God had sensed St. Benedict's demise.
And now, Jesus had fallen too?
"Did Jesus just renounce his own divine power?" God was equally astonished.
Considering Jesus's strength was not much less than his own, how could such immense divine power be renounced so easily?
He knew that in the current Divine Realm, aside from a few high-ranking god kings personally intervening, who could harm Jesus?
Jesus voluntarily renouncing his divine power following St. Benedict's fall, what was he planning?
Or had he forsaken his faith?
The bishops and saints of the Sanctum of the Holy Light were clueless.
Some bishops couldn't help but ask, "Almighty God, do you know what happened to Jesus?"
God's divine consciousness had just then still been probing Blizzard City.
William instantly sensed God's scrutiny, and with a slight raise of his eyebrows, he frightened God into withdrawing his consciousness.
The next moment, the gods of the Sanctum of the Holy Light felt a powerful oppressive force, rendering them unable to move.
Naturally, God recognized William.
Probing William with divine consciousness?
Was he seeking death?
So, he has returned!
No wonder St. Benedict fell!
No wonder Jesus...
"Now Jesus is following me, you don't have any objections, do you?"
God's ears echoed with William's voice.
"Of course, no objections!" God was all too aware of William's strength. How could he dare to object if William wanted Jesus?
Did he not want his Sanctum of the Holy Light anymore?
"I've promised Jesus that I would have him sent to the Sanctum of the Holy Light, and then you'll step down!"
William's voice resounded again.
God nodded, "Okay!"
Only then did William withdraw his divine consciousness, looking at Jesus, who had lost all his divine power, and said, "I've already spoken to your current boss. Once you're at the Sanctum of the Holy Light, you'll be God."
Jesus didn't really care about being God or not,what mattered most was doing whatever William wanted him to do.
This was never a problem at any time.
The ancient frost dragon beside them was flabbergasted.
That's Mr. Johnson for you!
Such a powerful being as Jesus, at Mr. Johnson's single word, immediately renounced his own divine power.
God?
Heh, it seems God won't be God for much longer!
The ancient dragon harbors no ordinary grudge against God. Hearing what William just said, it has made up its mind to definitely follow Mr. Johnson, to cling to this great tree, and to witness the downfall of God with its own eyes.
Yet, it doesn't know that William has never thought of killing God.
His actions were purely for amusement, wanting to give Jesus some benefits for the great sacrifice he made.
Additionally, it was a coincidence that he met Jesus. Thinking of "A Song of Ice and Fire," he merely wanted to design an interesting script.
He was also aware of the schemes Poseidon and the others were plotting, but everyone was non-interfering, letting each play their own game.
