Chapter 529 No living being is allowed here!
"What just happened?"
"I don't know! That Jesus seems to have... lost his divine power?"
"What's the deal with this William?"
...
From a distance, Drakaina and Orionix were completely dumbfounded.
William using the Trident to annihilate St. Benedict was one thing.
After all, he wielded a powerful artifact like the Trident.
And St. Benedict was at most of Nature Deity level.
But Jesus was a completely different story.
Jesus is the Son of God, the most powerful existence beneath God.
Though his exact level of strength wasn't known, logically, he should be invincible under the high-ranking god kings.
Now, after just a brief encounter, Jesus renounced his own divine power?
This was utterly outrageous.
As a result, Orionix and Drakaina had to reassess William's level of power.
Even with the Trident in hand, if there was a significant difference in strength, it would be useless.
It's like letting a baby with a giant hammer fight a martial arts expert, the outcome is obvious.
"Let's go, let's enter the city."
William had already guessed Drakaina's intention. In that case, he might as well release the Hydra for her.
Drakaina and Orionix watched as William and Jesus entered the city.
"Let's close the city for a day," William instructed Orionix after entering the city.
"Close the city?" Orionix didn't know what William was planning, but he could only immediately issue the order to close the city.
Although he himself was of Nature Deity level strength, he was well aware of his limitations.
If it were another enemy invasion, he could request assistance from the Divine Alliance.
But having witnessed William's power and knowing he was the disciple of the sea god Poseidon, he naturally didn't dare to question his commands.
"Are you planning to save the Hydra?" William was straightforward, directly asking Drakaina.
"What are you talking about?" Drakaina's eyes darted away as she spoke, "My ancestor, the Hydra, fell tens of thousands of years ago. What rescue are you referring to?"
"Really not going to save her?" William's gaze was deep, fixed on Drakaina, with a faint smile playing on his lips.
Orionix, listening by the side, was terrified. Did William know Drakaina's purpose?
And what did he mean by saying it out loud?
What was his intention?
Drakaina, under William's intense gaze, felt a tightness in her chest.
Her actions had been so secretive, logically, no one should have known.
How did William find out?
"I was saying I'd rescue the Hydra by the way. Since you don't want to save her, then let's pretend I didn't say anything."
"Save her!" Drakaina suddenly knelt in front of William, saying, "If Mr. Johnson could rescue my ancestor Hydra, our lineage of Shapeshifters from the Hydra family will all obey the sea god Poseidon."
Orionix was horrified and quickly said, "You can't do that!"
"My friend, do you realize what kind of monster that Hydra is? If released, it will surely bring disaster to all living beings!"
William had known all along that Hydra was in Blizzard City.
Could all this have been orchestrated by the gods of Olympus?
William glanced at Orionix: "Do you think you can stop me?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the ancient dragon roared: "A mere Nature Deity level dares to question Mr. Johnson's words?! Do you wish to die?"
Orionix looked at the ancient dragon lying obediently like a pet at William's feet, unsure of William's actual level of power.
Could just being a disciple of the sea god Poseidon and possessing a divine artifact like the Trident make an ancient dragon submit and worship him like this?
Jesus also put his hands together, telling Orionix, "Sir, I hope you think carefully before speaking. May God bless you, amen."
"..." Orionix's mouth twitched violently, and he immediately dared not speak.
Even though Jesus had renounced his divine power, the words that came from his mouth seemed like both a threat and an admonition...
Grinding his teeth, Orionix said, "Mr. Johnson, I know you are a disciple of the sea god Poseidon. St. Benedict had already communicated with me, mentioning someone intended to rescue the Hydra. Hence, I reported the matter of Hydra to the Divine Alliance half a month ago. I believe the Celestial Legion of Olympus is already on their way here, and this time, the Divine Alliance has sent Zeus's son Dionysus."
"Even if you possess formidable strength and a strong background, are you confident you can confront him?" Orionix said gravely, "Even if you can defeat him, do you really want to make the sea god Poseidon an enemy of the entire Divine Alliance?"
William laughed, "The Divine Alliance is not important, but this Dionysus you mentioned..."
"He'll be just right as an assistant on the way." William chuckled, as if forcibly fitting him into the drama team, right?
His sole purpose was to train Alice,thus, he didn't plan to take action himself. If there were a few powerful assistants nearby, they could step in when Alice couldn't handle it.
"An assistant?" Orionix's eye twitched uncontrollably.
Dionysus was no simple character, yet William was calling him an assistant?
"That's settled then!" William said, "You go and call Dionysus over, have his troops camp a thousand miles to the east. Just tell him someone is rescuing the Hydra."
Then, William said to Drakaina, "I'll help you rescue Hydra. What you need to do is spread the news that Jesus has renounced all his divine power. Furthermore, spread rumors that eating his flesh can drastically boost one's power level and even grant eternal life. Report back to me every three days with Jesus's whereabouts."
Hey, does this guy have a vendetta against Jesus?
Such targeting against him!
It's not targeting Jesus,it's entirely for Alice's growth.
Jesus didn't respond to the comments, and Drakaina, though unclear about William's intentions, could only nod and promise, "As long as you can help me rescue my ancestor Hydra, I'll do whatever you ask!"
William nodded to Orionix, "You can go and call Dionysus now."
Orionix was utterly baffled. What was William trying to do?
Look down on Dionysus?
Disdain the Divine Alliance?
Or was everything William did instructed by the sea god Poseidon, hence his confidence?
Or could it be that Poseidon wanted to ally with the Shapeshifters against the entire Divine Alliance?
Regardless, he knew he had to report the situation here.
Without saying more, Orionix left Blizzard City. Recognizing his inability to stop William's actions, he hoped Dionysus would bring powerful figures from the Divine Alliance.
Even the disciple of the sea god Poseidon couldn't do whatever he pleased!
After Orionix left, William led Drakaina to the place where Hydra was sealed.
Hydra is a notorious beast from the era of the gods,it was God himself who, along with other powerful beings, sealed it away back in the day.
Years have passed, yet God still stationed the foremost guardian of the divine realm—Jed Carlson, the Guardian of Light, to watch over the seal.
True to his name, Jed, the Guardian of Light wielding the Sword of Divine Light, had few equals in the Divine Realm.
Upon their arrival, they saw a lone, steadfast figure.
A warrior clad in shining armor, holding a longsword, with a flask of Sacramental Wine beside him.
With his back to them, Jed coldly said, "No living being is allowed here!"
