Chapter 551 Who is Aphrodite's uncle?
Apollo himself didn't fully understand the gods' purge plan, having only heard bits and pieces from his mentor, the sea god Poseidon.
Poseidon never intended to carry out the purge plan and even deliberately leaked this information to William, hoping to cause disruption.
Now, with William arriving in the Divine Realm, all plans have been thrown into disarray.
"William, I'll take you to a great place!" After sitting for a while in William's newly purchased residence, Apollo stood up, his expression clearly reminiscent of men planning an adventurous outing.
However, William had made similar promises to Alice more than once, always ending with Alice in tears.
"What kind of place?" William, being new to the Divine Realm, could have discovered any place by scanning with his divine sense, but that would be boring. He preferred to explore new places slowly.
"The Isle Palace of Delightful Love! That's Aphrodite's palace," Apollo said, winking and smiling mischievously.
Aphrodite is also widely known as Venus.
William laughed.
"How deep is your grudge against that cat?" William straightforwardly pointed out.
Apollo, being a Supreme Deity, should not be swayed by beauty. He and Jed were similar,to him, women probably slowed down his punch.
William was different; even if his punch was slow, his opponents couldn't withstand the blow.
Apollo then bluntly took out his Shield of Solar Flare, gritting his teeth, "Look!"
William glanced at Apollo's prized possession, which had been gnawed significantly.
"That cat has quite the bite." William also liked to eat, but he doubted that item would taste good.
Apollo sighed heavily and pulled out the Dawn's Golden Bow, which also had a large piece bitten off.
This cat was truly a menace.
Hearing this, William found himself liking the cat, admiring its fearless spirit.
"Not just me, many in the Divine Realm have been troubled by that cat. That damned cat has become a scourge across the entire Divine Realm," Apollo insinuated, "William, if you were to catch and eat that cat, you'd be removing a nuisance for everyone. Imagine how many deities would thank you."
Apollo even began to fantasize about how wonderful the world would be without the cat.
"And do you know? That cat's owner, Aphrodite, is the most beautiful woman in the Divine Realm. Even though I know you're married now, it doesn't stop you from having another lover, right?" Apollo, in his efforts to get William to deal with the cat, really didn't hold back any words.
"I'm acquainted with Aphrodite, Hephaestus's wife," William said, "I'm not interested in another man's wife."
Apollo replied, "What's wrong with another man's wife? Hephaestus has been missing for years. If you were willing to make Aphrodite your lover, it would probably be considered a good thing for her."
William raised an eyebrow. Indeed, sometimes the moral standards of these deities were even lower than those of mortals. William had already adapted to life on Earth.
He had some resistance to the idea of being unfaithful in marriage.
Seeing William frown, Apollo asked somewhat disappointedly, "So, are we going or not?"
"Let's go! Why not?" William said indifferently, "Although I'm not interested in another man's wife, admiring a beautiful woman can be pleasing to the mind and body."
That said, William, being a person of integrity, had absolutely no lascivious thoughts towards Aphrodite. He was just curious to see how audacious that cat really was.
It even dared to gnaw on Apollo's divine artifacts.
The two left the house, and Apollo, not in a hurry, took William for a stroll around District 2 before heading directly to District 13.
Aphrodite's Isle Palace of Delightful Love was in District 13, and Aphrodite's status was not simple. She was the daughter of Uranus, the god of the sky, not some seductive dancer from some Earthly films.
William pondered for a moment. Indeed, if anyone dared to offend Aphrodite, they could very well be stripped of their divine power and expelled from the Divine Alliance.
Certainly, if someone truly dared to flirt with Aphrodite, it would likely be a death sentence.
Uranus, the god of the sky, was a formidable figure, and William remembered he was also a father who deeply loved his daughter. Even Zeus would face a fierce confrontation if he offended his daughter.
"William, it's best if we wait for the cat to come out before we try to capture it," Apollo, as the sun god, also didn't dare to offend Aphrodite lightly.
He merely wanted to eat the meat of the Element Devouring Cat, just as he would want to eat dog meat.
William laughed, "Didn't we agree to come and admire the beauty of Aphrodite?"
"Aphrodite... why don't you go see her yourself? I'll pass," Apollo suddenly chickened out at this point, even shamelessly adding, "If you can make Aphrodite your lover, I'll bless you too?"
"You can't not go!" How could William let Apollo off the hook?
Lure him in and then make a run for it, sitting back and waiting to eat cat meat?
What was he thinking?
Apollo's face fell instantly.
Aphrodite might be beautiful, but her background was intimidatingly significant. Even Zeus had to show her respect. William might be fearless, but if he were to join William in capturing her pet to eat, all Aphrodite would need to do is mention it to Uranus, the god of the sky...
While Uranus might not be able to handle William, dealing with him, the sun god, would be more than manageable.
This is probably why the cat could do as it pleased within the Divine Alliance, yet no one dared to touch it.
As the saying goes, "Know who you're dealing with." This cat's background is even more significant than Sparta's, and its strength is greater, which is precisely why it's such a headache for the gods.
Aphrodite is the ruler of District 13, and this district is mostly inhabited by goddesses, making it not an exaggeration to call it a paradise for women.
William and Apollo, walking through the streets of District 13, received unusual glances now and then.
Before long, a squad of city guards, composed of goddesses, stopped William and Apollo. These guards were all dressed in red garments and silver armor, looking valiant and spirited.
The goddesses of the Divine Realm, in terms of both demeanor and appearance, far surpass ordinary humans, presenting a strikingly beautiful scene.
William only smelled the fragrant air around them, as if he were in a garden of flowers.
"Do you have clearance to enter District 13?"
The city guards weren't particularly strong, and they could tell that the two men before them were likely powerful beings.
As for Apollo...
His status in the Divine Realm was not low, but not everyone would recognize him.
Especially these goddesses, who had little interest in paying attention to a disheveled man.
The attitude of the District 13 guards was relatively decent; they merely stopped them for questioning and didn't do anything unreasonable. William responded with a smile, "We've come to visit the goddess of love, Aphrodite, and haven't made any prior arrangements."
"Please leave. Our mistress is not receiving visitors," said one of the guards, holding a long spear, looking coldly at them without showing any favoritism despite William's handsome appearance.
William said politely, "Please trouble yourself to pass on a message, tell your master that her uncle named William has arrived, and she will naturally meet with me."
