Chapter 537 Have you not been taught a lesson in too long?
Dionysus's life could certainly be considered legendary, rising from a mere soldier to one of Zeus's guardian deities and serving as the Marshal of the Celestial Legion of Olympus. He had participated in countless battles and faced numerous formidable enemies.
Yet, he had never felt as powerless as he did today.
Even the divine artifact bestowed upon him by Zeus was snapped in two by William with just a finger. How could he possibly fight back?
Was he supposed to bite with his teeth?
"I'm done fighting. What was that project you mentioned earlier?" As Dionysus spoke, he transformed into the chubby appearance William had requested earlier.
It was clear he couldn't win the fight.
At this moment, Dionysus no longer believed William was just a disciple of the Sea God Poseidon.
Firstly, he should have been aware of the disciples recruited by high-ranking divine kings.
And the strength William had shown made it clear there was no need to think twice; this person was the legendary William the Obliterator.
After all, Jed had already revealed his identity.
Dionysus was now more inclined to believe that the person before him was William the Obliterator.
The Divine Realm's legend, William the Obliterator, pretending to be a disciple of the Sea God Poseidon to save Hydra and making enemies with the Divine Alliance, was quite interesting.
Was William the Obliterator planning to engage in a game of strategy with the various high-ranking divine kings?
Or was he, too, a high-ranking divine king?
"The project I mentioned involves following someone, fighting our way to the Sanctum of the Holy Light, and then, I'll give you some benefits." William had already decided that if Alice wanted to become stronger, the only way was through continuous battle. With two or three strong individuals by her side, he wouldn't need to intervene personally.
In "A Song of Ice and Fire," undergoing various hardships was enough to transform a person. Making Alice stronger shouldn't be too difficult.
Once he had made arrangements for Alice, he would then go on to do his own thing.
"Fighting our way to the Sanctum of the Holy Light?" Dionysus frowned, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
"You don't need to ask about these things. Just say whether you agree or not," William said nonchalantly, petting the obedient Hydra at his feet.
"What if I refuse?" Dionysus asked.
William looked at him, a smile gradually appearing on his face: "My little pet has been sealed for so many years, it probably hasn't eaten meat in a long time."
"..." Dionysus was left speechless.
Refuse?
How could he refuse?
"Alright, who will I be traveling with?" Dionysus agreed straightforwardly.
"You'll meet them in time. For now, settle down in Blizzard City," William smiled. "Since you've agreed, you might as well change your name."
"Let's see, you'll go by the last name Stone, first name Bob, nickname Blob."
"Blob?!!" Dionysus looked at William through gritted teeth, "No problem."
William smiled, "When the person I mentioned arrives in the Divine Realm, you'll cause trouble for her as much as possible, then get her into fights. You just need to make sure she doesn't get killed."
"What kind of request is that?" Dionysus truly couldn't grasp William's thinking.
"Just do as I say. I'll see if I can find someone else to help," William reminded kindly. "You'd better not think about sneaking away. Otherwise, no matter where you flee, I'll chop off your chubby head."
Dionysus...
Or should we say Blob...
He took a deep breath and said, "Do you know that I am a guardian deity of Zeus?"
"Zeus?" William frowned and said, "Hold on!"
With that, William disappeared from the spot.
At that moment, Zeus and Athena were playing chess on a floating island in the Divine Realm.
William suddenly appeared beside them.
Both deities were startled.
Zeus, wielding thunder and storms, commands the weather and rules over the divine realm as the King of Gods and the supreme ruler of the heavens.
Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, is proficient in strategy and tactics, revered as the source of wisdom and the protector of warriors.
Both are immensely respected high-ranking divine kings.
Yet, someone managed to appear beside them unnoticed, genuinely startling them.
Zeus, tall and with a refined demeanor, paused mid-sentence as he stared at William, then froze in recognition.
"William the Obliterator?"
Athena, too, was taken aback, halting her actions.
"When did you return to the Divine Realm?"
The two deities had a decent relationship with William, and even they were unsure of the extent of his strength, only knowing that William was a bit more powerful than them.
"I've just arrived in the Divine Realm not long ago," William glanced at the chess game they were playing and said disdainfully, "Two woodpushers really getting into it, aren't you?"
If anyone else had spoken to the two high-ranking divine kings in such a manner, they probably would have been annihilated on the spot.
But coming from William, the two deities merely offered sheepish smiles.
"William the Obliterator, don't be so arrogant. If you're up for it, let's play a game!"
Athena raised an eyebrow, ready to challenge William.
"I'm short on time, so if we're going to play chess, let's make it quick."
With a thought from Athena, the chess pieces from her game with Zeus instantly reset to their starting positions for a new game!
Zeus glared at Athena, "You really know how to pick your moment. In that game, you were three moves away from losing, and now you've reset the board."
Athena chuckled, "We see each other all the time and have played chess for so many years. William finally comes back, and I want to play a game with him. What's wrong with that? Dad, you're really being petty!"
William wasted no time in banter, immediately picking up a chess piece and making his move.
...
Within two minutes, the game was decided.
After all, being beings of extraordinary divine power, their speed of play was incredibly fast.
"Alright, I didn't come here to play chess with you," William said to Zeus. "I'm here to borrow someone."
"Hmm? Who are you looking to borrow?" Even Zeus couldn't predict what William intended to do.
"Dionysus!"
"What do you need him for?" Zeus frowned, "I've already agreed to let Dionysus assist God in carrying out a mission."
Hearing this, William asked, "You're not seriously planning something against the Shapeshifters and orchestrating a demon purge, are you? Are you looking to redraw territorial boundaries?"
"How do you know about this plan?" Zeus laughed, "Since you're aware, you should know that Dionysus is my bet, accompanying Jesus to travel westward to the Sanctum of the Holy Light. Along the way, they will purge Shapeshifters and demons, and we will then redraw those territories."
William kicked over the chessboard, saying, "Cut the nonsense! Jesus is now with me. I'm informing you that I'm taking Dionysus, not asking for your permission. What do I care about your purge plans?"
"You... you're being completely unreasonable!" Zeus, respected and revered, hadn't been spoken to like this in years, and William's attitude was infuriating.
"When have I ever reasoned with you?" William's palm shook, and the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian landed in his hand. "I even borrowed Poseidon's Sword of the Abyssal Guardian, and here I am asking to borrow a person from you, yet you're giving me all this talk. Have you not been taught a lesson in too long?"
