Chapter 534 Is that all the power it has?
An insignificant minion?
William actually wouldn't mind being such an insignificant minion.
Unfortunately, today he came specifically to stir up some trouble.
With the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian in hand, William pointed at Dionysus and said coldly, "I am Poseidon's disciple, William. You'd better do as I say now, and I'll spare your life! Otherwise, I'll beat you into a pig's head!"
Poseidon, millions of miles away, suddenly had a bad feeling.
He knew William all too well.
Sometimes, William appears utterly serious, but when it comes to causing mischief, no one can surpass him.
Especially after seeing those phrases on the stele in the New York museum, Poseidon gained some new insights about William.
"Met someone named Cronus. Quite an interesting fellow, but a bit long-winded and somewhat weak."
"Couldn't control my temper in the end. Surprisingly, one slap almost destroyed the whole world."
These statements truly frightened Poseidon.
From all the clues, Poseidon concluded that William must be from the same era as Cronus, and he even complained about Cronus's weakness?
Moreover, William was the one who destroyed the world back then.
Looking at him on a regular day, pretending as if he knows nothing...
At such an old age, back then, he even flirted with his disciple, Artemis?
Now he's even more shameless...
Such a thick-skinned old guy, forcibly borrowing his Sword of the Abyssal Guardian, who knows what else he might do?
The high-ranking gods had thought of using this world as a chessboard, manipulating various pieces to change the Divine Realm's pattern.
Ridiculously, just because William couldn't control his temper, he smashed the chessboard into pieces.
...
Upon hearing William's claim, Dionysus was stunned.
A disciple of Poseidon, the God of the Sea?
William?
Why hadn't he heard of him before?
"You claim to be a disciple of Poseidon? What proof do you have?"
Dionysus had to take this seriously at this point.
He held a high position within the Divine Alliance and was aware of the complex situations within the Divine Realm.
Higher gods generally disliked intervening directly,if they wanted something done, they usually orchestrated it from the shadows, guiding events along their desired paths.
Given the involvement of a higher god, he felt this person wouldn't speak carelessly.
"This sword in my hand is the proof!" William noticed that Dionysus appeared impulsive, but in reality, he had no intention of making a move lightly.
Dionysus's divine gaze fixed on the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian in William's hand, his expression growing serious.
The Sword of the Abyssal Guardian had scarcely been used in the Divine Realm over thousands of years.
Dionysus knew that Poseidon had only recently used his divine weapon to slay an army of angels attempting to invade the Prime World.
But he had never seen the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian himself.
The sword in William's hand emitted a dangerous aura that Dionysus could sense.
"You're not trying to tell me that this sword is the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian, are you?" Dionysus scrutinized William, chuckled, and said, "Since you claim to be Poseidon's disciple, I'll take your word for it. But why did you rescue Hydra?"
William raised an eyebrow: "Do I need to report Poseidon's intentions to you?"
Jed was stirring the pot from the side, saying, "Dionysus, you've been blabbering for so long. Are we going to fight or not?"
"William has already said, if you follow his command, come down and perform a talent to please him, he will spare your life," Jed laughed heartily. "Dionysus, you're not really scared, are you? I can tell you, he is not Poseidon's disciple! Absolutely not!"
Would William the Obliterator be Poseidon's disciple?
Jed, having known William for a longer time, believed he was aware of William's background.
A disciple of Poseidon? That was merely a bluff.
"William, why go to such lengths to bluff? Wouldn't it be easier to just finish him off with a single sword strike?"
After William revealed his identity as a disciple of Poseidon, Dionysus was initially not planning to act.
After all, opposing a higher god was a terrifying prospect.
If William truly was a disciple of a higher god, Dionysus just needed to probe a bit, clarify the situation, then let him and Hydra leave.
Now, with Jed's comment, and considering he had never heard of Poseidon having a disciple named William, there was no doubt left!
Pretending to be Poseidon's disciple and abducting Hydra.
"Kill him! Capture Hydra alive!"
Dionysus's eyes flashed coldly,he almost believed the story. If he let them go so easily, he would face accusations back in the Divine Alliance, and this embarrassing incident would spread throughout the Divine Realm, tarnishing his reputation forever.
The Celestial Legion of Olympus did not relax during their conversation, constantly maneuvering and forming up. The moment Dionysus issued the order, 36,000 Celestial Legion of Olympus soldiers took their positions, activating a magic formation.
Anyone capable of rescuing Hydra from under Jed's watch, whether or not he was Poseidon's disciple, must possess some abilities.
The sky was enveloped in divine light, and in the next moment, the entire God's Tear Ridge was seemingly relocated to another parallel dimension.
Jed coldly questioned, "Dionysus, why drag me into this?"
"Mr. Carlson, I believe that even if this person managed to rescue Hydra under your watch, it wouldn't have been easy. Now, if you join forces with us, we can surely capture both him and Hydra."
Dionysus was very cautious. Given that Hydra was within the attack range of the magic formation, even with their prepared formation, they might not be able to detain Hydra today.
They had included Jed in their calculations all along, but they hadn't anticipated the sudden appearance of William, who seemed to be quite powerful.
Jed sat there, making no move to intervene, saying, "I'm not as shameless as you, bullying the few with the many. Just get on with it and let me see how much more William has up his sleeve."
He kept mentioning William but avoided using the full title "William the Obliterator," fearing Dionysus might panic upon hearing that name.
"Then Mr. Carlson, watch closely!"
Dionysus wasted no more time. Within the magic formation, the Celestial Legion of Olympus was invisible, and the entire God's Tear Ridge seemed to be situated in the vast universe, with a huge magical formation pattern slowly rotating above William's head.
Thousands of lights smashed towards William.
William patted Hydra's head and looked at the magic formation, casually commenting, "Starlight Burst Array? A pirated version?"
The genuine Starlight Burst Array was created by Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods. Within the magic formation, a realm unto itself is formed, controlling the cycle of life and death, creation and destruction, capable of transforming the tiniest dust particle into a vast universe, possessing supreme power.
William had once contended with Zeus himself, and even Zeus's own magic formation seemed not to withstand his single sword strike...
"Somewhat knowledgeable, what a pity!"
William was hit by thousands of divine lights. For a moment, the rocks around him turned to dust, space fractured, and the terrifying force of the spatial turbulence capable of tearing everything apart...
Dionysus found it ridiculous that William stood still, allowing the magic formation's attack to hit him, not even drawing his sword.
Is he just standing there waiting to die?
It's also unclear whether Hydra has died under this intense barrage of attacks.
Considering Hydra was an ancient beast, it might be severely injured but survive within the Starlight Burst Array.
When everything cleared, William stood in the same spot, stroking Hydra's head, and raised an eyebrow, "Is that all the power it has?"
