Chapter 542 Being greedy doesn't make sense
"Master, if it's your request, we naturally have no problem," Zeus said with full respect after confirming William the Obliterator was indeed their mysterious master from childhood.
William waved his hand and said, "Again, I'm not your master. Don't misrecognize. And about that little girl outside, take her as a disciple if you want, don't if you don't want to. I haven't made any demands."
This is really troublesome. If the news that he is the master of the three high-ranking Olympian gods gets out, could he still have fun in the future?
Wouldn't life become boring?
"Alright, master! I'm willing to take that little girl as my disciple."
After Zeus spoke, he got beaten up again.
"I've told you, I'm not your master. Can't you understand?" William said, "If you're willing to take her as a disciple, I'll give her your little statue. When she wants to learn something from you, you can come to her."
Since Amy wanted all the deities as her masters and now she's just a mortal with her mother still alive, there's no need to go to the Divine Realm. Thus, her masters would have to come down to Earth to teach her.
This also has its benefits.
William thinks that in the future, when powerful beings from other parallel dimensions come to Earth to cause trouble, they might as well prepare a big surprise for them now.
With Amy's masters coming to teach her in turns, if there's an external threat, would they just sit by and do nothing?
Probably not.
Just like the Sea God Poseidon facing the angelic legions.
Earth is considered a Prime World by the powerhouses of the Divine Realm,they haven't reconquered it, so how could they tolerate invaders from other parallel dimensions?
The masters William chose for Amy are all top-tier powerhouses.
Against something like the angelic legions, a thousand would die for every thousand that come, ten thousand for every ten thousand.
After everything was settled, William closed his domain and had Amy perform the disciple initiation ceremony for her two new masters.
Amy is no longer the five-year-old child she once was; she has learned some manners by now and wouldn't be as ignorant as she was five years ago.
"Please accept my highest respect, my two masters," Amy stood respectfully in front of Zeus and Poseidon.
The two high-ranking divine kings looked at Amy, then at William, and exchanged glances...
William placed the statues of Zeus and Poseidon in front of Amy, saying, "Whenever you want to learn from a master, just call out to the statue as 'master.'"
Zeus and the Sea God Poseidon were quite impressed by William's approach.
Traditionally, disciples learn from their masters with utmost reverence, their learning opportunities dependent on the master's mood.
With Amy, it completely changed; whenever Amy wants to learn, she just has to call out to a statue, and the master has to come down from the Divine Realm to teach.
Moreover, many Soulmancer organizations emphasize lineage, where one can only take one master.
Amy did well, having two high-ranking divine kings as her masters.
"Alright, you can leave now. I'll let her meet her other masters."
After completing the procedure, William was ready to have other deities and powerful beings come by one after another.
"Ah?" The Sea God Poseidon was a bit confused. There were other masters?
Wasn't learning from just these two high-ranking divine kings enough?
William gestured towards the statues on the table, saying, "She said she wanted to learn from everyone."
The Sea God Poseidon and Zeus looked at those statues, and even as high-ranking divine kings, they were astonished.
Having so many masters at once?
That's outrageous!
At that moment, Amy stepped forward, tugging on William's clothes and whispered, "Mr. Johnson, can I just learn from these two masters?"
Zeus and the Sea God Poseidon were greatly pleased.
Right, having already taken them as masters, why bother learning from others?
William asked, "Didn't you just say you wanted all of them?"
Amy pouted and said, "So many masters, learning all kinds of knowledge will make me confused, and I can't keep up."
Being greedy doesn't make sense,indeed, that's the logic.
And often, having a disciple signifies the passing on of mysterious powers.
If Amy were to learn from only one master, she might receive that master's full attention. But if she were to learn from a dozen masters at the same time, to which side would she truly belong?
Most importantly, many of the masters Amy chose represent opposing forces. If two factions were to clash in the future, whose side would Amy support?
"Then just recognize those two as your masters."
William also felt that having too many masters would be troublesome.
With Poseidon and Zeus teaching her, she couldn't go wrong.
"Amy, I am the Sea God Poseidon. If anyone bullies you, just invoke my name," Poseidon said, pulling out a gem from his chest called the Heart of the Ocean and handing it to Amy, "This Heart of the Ocean is my gift to you as a token of our meeting."
The Heart of the Ocean was actually something William gave to Poseidon to play with back when he was looking after Zeus and his brothers under the guise of a mysterious master.
Seeing this, Zeus waved his robe, and an ancient amulet appeared in his palm, "Amy, this is my protective amulet. I'll give it to you today as a welcome gift."
With Poseidon having given a gift, Zeus naturally wanted to offer his blessings as well.
The power of this amulet originated from the Celestial Thunderheart of the gods' era, capable of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, accompanying Zeus for countless years. He gently touched Amy's forehead with it.
The amulet merged into her soul.
The energy around started to surge violently, with Amy's forehead becoming an energy vortex, frantically absorbing the surrounding power.
Seeing this, William frowned, gently touched the top of Amy's head, and sealed the amulet's power.
"Building any house must start from the foundation; what are you trying to do?" William still hoped that Amy would gradually increase her strength on her own.
While the gifted divine artifacts are beneficial, obtaining great power without facing challenges or making efforts on the path of cultivation isn't truly a blessing for her.
Just like Alice, even though she is protected by a Cosmic Entity, William still continuously creates difficulties for her.
Relying too much on others always limits one's achievements.
Zeus dared not express any disagreement, instead offering an awkward smile: "Master, you are right."
Regardless of whether William acknowledges it or not, Zeus would maintain the proper respect due to him.
William couldn't be bothered with him; having his identity discovered, would he have to act as a master punishing his disciple when beating him in the future?
That would be no fun.
William was still contemplating having some fun with them.
The struggle among high-ranking divine kings for territories is ultimately about gaining the power of faith to become stronger.
The so-called high-ranking divine kings, Kings of the Shapeshifters, have intricate connections with the Cosmic Entity,they can be considered the guardians of the Cosmic Entity.
The Cosmic Entity wanting its guardians to become stronger seems to have some special reasons.
To help it in its battles?
Hmm, William wasn't too concerned with these matters for the time being. After explaining everything, he bid farewell to Amy.
He was planning to stealthily seek out Loki now.
