Chapter 577 Additional reward
A being of merely Mortal Deity level, standing unguarded in front of five individuals of Creator Deity level, with a beaming smile.
Wasn't this a bit too eerie?
These Creator Deities, beings who had lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, found such abnormal behavior definitely problematic!
Especially since Caelum had just died!
The way this young girl stood so brazenly was even stranger.
To make a move?
Among them, only one had combat power comparable to Caelum's, while the others were slightly weaker.
Caelum's death was mysterious and abrupt; they didn't even see anyone besides Antares make a move...
Now, did they dare to attack Alice?
Would the consequences of their actions be the same as Caelum's?
Alice had grown much bolder too. She was well aware that hiding in the alchemy furnace might not guarantee her safety. As a Mortal Deity, in the presence of five Creator Deities, all her defenses seemed insignificant.
So, she decided to withdraw the alchemy furnace and engage in psychological warfare instead.
In doing so, she couldn't show the slightest hint of fear.
Instead, she might even scare them off.
Her gamble paid off; her actions indeed frightened the five Creator Deities.
William, watching from the shadows, realized Alice had made significant progress. From her initial bewilderment with Soulmanancy to now daring to intimidate five Creator Deities, it was truly something...
He would definitely have to reward her properly later!
Antares gave an awkward smile, took a few steps back, and said, "Miss, we see that your divine power is extraordinary, and your talent is unique. Who is your master?"
Alice threw her identity plaque to Antares and said, "Why don't you see for yourselves?"
Antares caught the identity plaque, which was no ordinary item. It bore pure energy and runes that even he couldn't understand.
"Poseidon, the Sea God..." Antares dared not say it out loud, truly frightened at that moment.
A disciple of Poseidon, the Sea God, in the Divine Realm, is someone you do not want to mess with.
It's clear now,she's a disciple of Poseidon, the Sea God!
Really Poseidon's disciple?
Aren't all of Poseidon's disciples at the level of Creator Deity in terms of strength?
Alice's power level and her equipment clearly show she's a favored and beloved disciple of Poseidon!
Thinking of robbing and killing?
Uh, Antares glanced at Caelum's corpse, feeling a chill down his spine, realizing that might very well be his own fate in the future.
After returning the identity plaque to Alice, Antares sighed, "Sorry, it was all a misunderstanding, I'll take my leave!" He quickly grabbed Caelum's corpse and made his escape.
Thinking of capturing Alice?
Caelum had many treasures on him, and it was a chance to pick them up without any effort.
But to joke with his life for it?
He wasn't that foolish!
If Caelum hadn't died, perhaps there was a chance to struggle. But now, better to flee!
Seeing this, the other four Creator Deities cursed Antares for being despicable and shameless. He had seen Alice's identity plaque but didn't share the information, even taking Caelum's corpse with its many treasures.
Now, do they need to ask Alice for her identity plaque again?
How awkward would that be!
William, from his hidden position, released Ares and Sparta.
These two had been confined by William for several days.
Despite all efforts, Ares couldn't break out of William's spatial storage ring, which seemed like an endless universe unto itself.
Suddenly set free, he didn't even feel like making a move.
The gap in power was too vast,Ares watched William warily.
William said, "Do me a small favor, and I'll spare the dog meat."
Sparta whimpered softly, still remembering the dog meat?
Didn't I tell you, cat meat tastes better, have you ever tried milk-flavored cat? What's so good about dog meat?
Ares dared not refuse, so he could only say, "At your command!"
...
Alice was in a standoff, with hundreds of powerful beings watching from a distance, waiting for an opportunity. Seeing several Creator Deities make their move, they dared not act.
But they consider it not bad to watch the excitement.
Suddenly, a handsome god in shining armor descended from the sky, commanding loudly, "Those above the level of Nature Deity, leave now, and you will be unharmed! For Nature Deity or below, whoever kills that girl, everything she possesses will belong to them. Additionally, I have other treasures to reward that person! You need not worry about her background; whatever happens, I, Ares, the God of War, will take responsibility!"
"No way?!" Alice was also shocked. This War God Ares wants to set her up!
Without a second thought, she held the Sword of Soulbreaker, flew up, and attempted to flee.
The four Creator Deities, upon hearing Ares's words, found a way to ease the awkward situation and went forward to greet Ares.
Ares, the son of Zeus, the King of the Gods, and the true God of War, is a formal deity within the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods.
His background is equally terrifying.
Now he has issued a kill order against Alice!
Everyone coveted the top-tier artifacts on Alice but hesitated because of her background. Now, with Ares saying he would take responsibility for any issues, everyone's concerns were alleviated.
Especially since those above Nature Deity were not allowed to intervene, it became very interesting!
Judging from the strength of Alice's sword earlier, her combat power, with the aid of the top-tier artifact, was roughly at the Nature Deity level. Now with so many beings at the Nature Deity level hunting her,
She must have a moment when she's exhausted, right?
At that time, whoever takes advantage of the situation to deliver a fatal blow while she's weakened and seize the divine artifact, wouldn't that be delightful?
Alice's first instinct was to flee.
She was well aware of her situation,with so many elites ganging up on her, she would undoubtedly die!
Was William tired of her and looking for a new wife?
Escape first, think later!
A group of beings at or below the level of Nature Deity chased after Alice.
The four Creator Deities approached Ares, and one of them asked, "God of War Ares, may I inquire about the background of this girl that warranted your personal involvement?"
Ares glanced at him coldly and barked, "Get lost!"
"As you command!"
The four Creator Deities hurriedly left the scene.
Ares took a deep breath, looked around to make sure there were no onlookers, and then said, "Master, I have done as you instructed."
William slowly emerged, looking pleased with Ares, and said, "Well done! Here's a pill I have no use for, consider it your reward. I've had you locked up for a few days, and I do feel somewhat sorry about that, Ares, don't take it to heart."
He then tossed a glass bottle to Ares.
Like everyone else, Ares couldn't help but closely examine the exquisite glass bottle endowed with mysterious powers.
If even the bottle was this extraordinary, what quality could the pill inside be?
"Thank you, Master!" Ares excitedly thanked William repeatedly, saying, "If you have no further instructions, I'll take my leave now."
"Hold on! I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it," William said. "That lady who just ran away, if she truly faces a life-and-death crisis, I hope you can come to her rescue. Just keep an eye on her for ten days. I'll come to find you after ten days, and there will be an additional reward."
