Chapter 532 Taka's Hand!
Jed's smile grew more excited.
If William was merely blocking his first two strikes, then what was he waiting for, if not to demonstrate his full strength?
Now, it was perfect!
It was like expecting a grand finale to a date with a girlfriend—dinner, singing, a movie, and after months of anticipation, the climax lasts only three seconds. How disappointing that would be.
"I hope you can take the rest of my strikes!"
Jed's energy continued to surge. Being invincible below the Supreme Deity level wasn't just for show.
William stood his ground. To ensure Jed didn't feel like he was being humored, he slowly began to increase his own energy and sealed off the area.
"Distracted while sword fighting with me?" Jed frowned, "Don't worry, I won't harm the innocent!"
Then, he expanded his domain, enveloping William within it.
Above the level of Nature Deity, one can exert their own domain, covering the opponent within it to prevent harming bystanders and to suppress the opponent. It's almost like dragging the opponent into a separate, smaller space.
However, deploying a domain means a fight to the death.
If two powerful beings deploy their domains simultaneously, the outcome is almost instantaneous. Rarely do Divine Realm's powerful beings choose to contest in domain strength unless absolutely necessary.
Of course, if there's a suppression in strength levels, a Nature Deity level being using their domain against those below can almost guarantee a quick kill.
This marks a significant difference between Nature Deity level and those below it.
William stood within Jed's domain, as if tens of thousands of swords of light pointed at his vital points...
Sadly, William himself didn't know where his vital points were.
Jed unleashed seven strikes, and William made an effort to appear as if he was trying hard.
When Jed executed his seventh strike, William, while blocking, concentrated energy at his fingertip and touched Jed's chest.
"Pfft!"
Jed spat out blood, his domain dissipating, and he looked dumbfoundedly at William, asking, "What's that move called?"
A name?
William wasn't good at naming. He didn't have any secret techniques,that move was just a casual flick of his finger, meant not to harm.
"Taka's Hand!"
"What a strange name!" Jed remarked. "Although I'm not sure what 'Taka' signifies, it must refer to some powerful beast, right?"
William replied nonchalantly, "Something like that. Now that you've lost, can we release Hydra?"
Jed shook his head, "The seal on Hydra was conjured by God along with other powerful beings. You know I can wield a sword, but I'm clueless about magic seals. If you can break the seal yourself, I'll pretend I didn't see anything."
"Alright then!"
After receiving Jed's acquiescence, William paid him no further attention. Gathering his energy, he stepped forward and stomped down.
The seal that had bound Hydra for hundreds of thousands of years shattered instantly.
Jed stared dumbfoundedly at William.
A single stomp broke the seal?
He had thought William would face some difficulty, or at least have to wield his sword to forcefully break the seal.
But William simply extended a foot, and that was enough to break it entirely?
What kind of shoddy seal was that?
Upon the seal's breaking, a colossal beast with nine heads burst forth from the earth, its fiery breath illuminating the sky and its thunderous roar causing the entire Blizzard City to tremble.
In Blizzard City, Drakaina looked up at her ancestor in the sky, tears brimming in her eyes. Her ancestor was finally free.
Without their ancestor's protection, the Hydra clan had been oppressed among the Shapeshifters for years, forced to make compromises in every situation.
Now, with their ancestor's seal broken and her return to the Divine Realm, the Hydra clan was destined to rise again!
At that moment, an old man in a black robe appeared in the sky, loudly proclaiming, "Congratulations to my old friend on seeing the daylight again!"
"J?rmungandr? Is it you who freed me?" Upon seeing J?rmungandr, Hydra's first thought was that J?rmungandr had rescued her.
J?rmungandr was the mysterious helper Drakaina had enlisted to prevent any mishaps with the rescue operation.
His eyes, glowing a deep green, swept over William and Jed below, but he merely commented, "No, I didn't do anything. Perhaps there was a problem with the seal itself. We should hurry and leave. Jed is still down there, and I've heard Dionysus is on his way here as well."
One of Hydra's heads glanced down at the injured Jed, but its gaze quickly shifted to William.
The huge body paused in the air, and the next second, it transformed into a small, smooth, and adorably white snake.
"..."
J?rmungandr and Drakaina were left dumbfounded.
What was happening?
"J?rmungandr, don't worry about me, you should hurry and leave!" Hydra said before flying directly to William's feet. It affectionately rubbed its head against William's leg and then sniffed his scent.
After so many years, that smell was still so pleasant.
J?rmungandr was almost petrified on the spot.
Could this be a mistake?
Was this the same fearless Hydra?
Why did it seem to have turned into a fawning dog?
That person looked just like a Mor...Mor...No! Definitely not a Mortal Deity!
But rather, that demonic William?!!
J?rmungandr was terrified to the core.
J?rmungandr's scalp tingled with fear.
Frozen in mid-air for a full three seconds, he eventually transformed into a small snake and plunged down to William's feet.
"Mr. Johnson, long time no see." J?rmungandr coiled in front of William, nervously greeting him.
Hydra told him to leave just now?
Damn, where could he go?
He was now facing William, known as the "demon" by all formidable beasts. Did he think he could just leave without greeting him?
What a joke!
Both Hydra and J?rmungandr had nine lives,as long as their souls weren't destroyed, they could be reborn. Even if this demonic William fancied them and decided to devour them once, it wouldn't be too bad a deal.
As far as they knew, William was quite picky about his food. At least, once he had eaten them, he wouldn't eat them again for a while.
"J?rmungandr?" William glanced at J?rmungandr and said, "There's nothing for you here for now; you can leave."
J?rmungandr, as if granted amnesty, looked at William with his two eyes, slowly backed away, and then retreated.
Without another look at J?rmungandr, William patted Hydra's head and said, "Let's go."
Jed glanced towards the horizon, where a dark mass loomed, and said indifferently, "William, it seems you won't have an easy departure today. The Celestial Legion sent by the Divine Alliance is here, led by Dionysus."
"Dionysus?" William chuckled. "Is that Dionysus even more formidable than you?"
Jed said seriously, "Dionysus might not be very strong, but he represents the entire Divine Alliance. Do you plan on killing him too?"
"I don't like killing," William shook his head. "But if I want to leave, I doubt anyone can stop me."
Jed burst into laughter, "Hahaha!! That's so like you! I'm just waiting to see how you stir up the Divine Realm! If you need help, just let me know."
"Who said anything about causing a stir in the Divine Realm?" William gave him a displeased look, as if he was being unfairly assigned a task.
Jed joked, "With this setup, aren't you planning to make a big scene in the Divine Realm?"
"If you really intend to help, just take action later, don't say anything about letting you know,that shows no sincerity." William was almost at the point of giving him the middle finger. What did he mean by needing help?
If you really want to help participate in this battle, there's no need for all this talk,you can show your sincerity right now.
