Chapter 552 heartbreaker
"Aphrodite's uncle?"
The leading city guard didn't dare to question William's words. After giving William a deep look, she respectfully said, "Sir, please follow me."
If he truly was Aphrodite's uncle, then this person before her would be a brother or close friend of Uranus, which was a highly prestigious status, not someone she could afford to offend.
The key point was that she couldn't discern William's strength level, which made her somewhat believe him.
Over the years, many deities have sought to witness the grace of the goddess of love for various reasons and excuses, but no one dared to impersonate Aphrodite's uncle.
Not for any other reason but the well-known fact in the Divine Realm that Aphrodite's father is Uranus.
Even a deity of Absolute Deity level wouldn't dare to falsely claim such a relationship.
Upon hearing William's claim, Apollo suddenly felt panicked.
Really?
Such a bluff could probably only be attempted by William.
Anyone else would be beaten to death by Uranus, the sky god, if he found out.
And now, he was implicated too.
"May I know who this great deity is..." The city guard leading the way sneaked a peek at Apollo and tentatively asked.
William said, "He is my brother, and of course, he is also your master's uncle."
"Very well!"
The city guard, graceful in her posture and clad in battle armor, presented a unique charm.
William hadn't lied when he came,he hadn't renounced desires and emotions, and naturally, seeing beautiful women made him feel more pleased.
Hearing William's words, Apollo felt his head buzzing.
He was wrong!
He was truly wrong.
He shouldn't have encouraged William to come and catch the cat in the first place.
Now, William is impersonating Aphrodite's uncle, and he's dragged Apollo into it as well.
Their main purpose for visiting today was to catch Aphrodite's pet, and if their true intent was discovered, Apollo would be the one to suffer.
"William, you're not really Aphrodite's uncle, are you?" Apollo couldn't help but communicate telepathically with William.
William replied, "Could there be any doubt? Uranus, the god of the sky, used to call me big brother. It's not too much for his daughter to call me uncle, is it?"
Apollo was truly stunned.
William the Obliterator was too mysterious back in the day, with too wide a circle of friends.
The sky god Uranus calling him big brother...
So, with William now calling Apollo brother, does that make Uranus, the sky god, a little brother in his presence?
"It's just that, Hephaestus also used to call me big brother."
"..."
Apollo was left speechless for a moment. Hephaestus is considered Uranus's son-in-law, and both of them calling William big brother made the familial relationships utterly confusing.
It's a dilemma for William, living too long. If they were to strictly adhere to seniority, anyone in the Divine Realm would be much younger than him, which would make him feel old.
Old people generally don't like being told they're old, and William is no exception.
Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the Isle Palace of Delightful Love. Knowing William's brotherly relationship with the sky god Uranus, Apollo's mind was somewhat at ease.
The Isle Palace of Delightful Love was beautifully constructed, with a giant myrtle tree planted next to the palace gate. A man bound in chains was continuously chopping at the myrtle tree with an axe, his eyes lifeless, like a robot repeating the same action over and over.
The axe fell, creating notches on the trunk of the giant myrtle tree, but as soon as the axe left the tree, the cuts healed automatically.
Only the shaking of petals all around added a unique charm to the scene.
The Isle Palace of Delightful Love also had some fairies collecting the petals floating in the air and picking roses from the ground.
"Adonis?" William stared at the man bound in chains and instinctively called out his name.
Adonis slowly turned his head to look at William, his previously lifeless eyes suddenly shining with intensity, his voice raspy from his throat, "William the Obliterator?!"
The city guard who led William to the entrance of the Isle Palace of Delightful Love trembled upon hearing this name, turning her head to stare fixedly at William!
Apollo also stopped in his tracks, sensing that something was amiss...
"Are you William the Obliterator?" The city guard stared at William, his white teeth almost grinding together, looking as if he harbored deep resentment.
William, somewhat puzzled, still calmly answered, "I am William the Obliterator."
"How dare you, heartbreaker! You have the audacity to see our mistress! Please leave!" The expression of the female city guard was exactly like that of a pure-hearted girl scorned, despising a player.
Apollo stared at William, mouth agape, his mind racing with countless scenarios.
What outrageous deeds had William committed?
"How have I become a heartbreaker?" William was unfazed, stating lightly, "I merely declined Uranus's favor and had no relations with the other five Goddesses. Perhaps it's all a misunderstanding from the past?"
Apollo swallowed hard. He was not usually one for gossip, but there must be some juicy story here.
Refusing the sky god Uranus's favor, and the mention of five Goddesses?
The female city guard had long heard of William the Obliterator, but in her understanding, William the Obliterator was nothing short of a player.
Rumor had it that the sky god Uranus favored William, willing to marry off his five daughters to William simultaneously. However, William the Obliterator fled the wedding halfway, eventually ending up with Artemis.
Uranus's other five daughters ended up dying of grief.
If not a player, then what?
"Regardless, please leave! Aphrodite will not see you!" The city guard was clear in her mind,she definitely could not contend with the rumored player, but she couldn't let William see Aphrodite, fearing he might enchant Aphrodite as well.
"William!!! Is that really you?" Adonis gasped for air, raising his axe to charge at William, but the chains binding him sprang to life as he stepped forward six feet, wrapping around the myrtle tree and binding him tightly.
William ignored the city guard and approached Adonis, looking at the chains around him and asked, "Did Uranus do this?"
"William! You and I are sworn enemies!"
William frowned, touched the chains binding Adonis, and with a light tug, the mysterious chains that had bound Adonis for tens of thousands of years fell apart, breaking off.
"I'll kill you!" After being freed, Adonis swung his axe at William.
The axe, carrying divine might, and Adonis, no pushover, swung with enough force to split mountains and rocks.
Snap!
A crisp slap sent Adonis flying, crashing heavily into the myrtle tree behind, scattering petals everywhere.
Apollo, watching from the side, felt his own face hurt. Such a heavy slap, the damage must be immense!
Adonis charged again, and William slapped him away once more.
In front of William, Adonis had no chance to defend himself.
After being slapped ten times, Adonis finally calmed down and stopped charging forward. Instead, he glared viciously at William and said, "If you dare, kill me!"
William raised an eyebrow and said, "After all these years, I've finally found the right words to describe you."
"What do you want to say?" Adonis clenched his axe tightly, but he was well aware of the vast gap in strength between him and William. Even ten thousand years of special training wouldn't be enough to kill him.
William slowly said, "In a relationship, excessive pleasing and unconditional pursuit of someone will inevitably lead to a bad outcome."
