Chapter 595 Well, well, he hasn't changed
"Next!"
Alice's hand holding the sword was trembling.
She had killed someone!
Blood splattered on her face!
In the past, she had also killed, but back then, with a single strike of the Sword of Soulbreaker, the opponent would be reduced to nothing, at least she wouldn't have to witness such a bloody scene.
Even during the last battle with that angel, she fainted from exhaustion after just one sword strike.
Bloody scenes, after all, are something she's not quite accustomed to.
But now, surrounded by enemies, showing mercy was no longer an option!
William watched from a distance, feeling a twinge of compassion.
He had lived for so many years, almost always doing as he pleased, considering right and wrong to be of little significance.
Alice didn't like to kill.
She had grown up in a peaceful land, and what girl would enjoy fighting and killing?
Why was William pushing her like this?
Was it to make her stronger?
But what then?
To William, these things also seemed of little significance.
From the way Alice handled her sword just now, it was clear that the group of Nature Deities attacking her were no match for her.
Continuing this way, Alice might not make much progress, but her mental state could change.
As for what kind of change, even William couldn't predict.
When another Nature Deity stepped forward, William was already in front of Alice. He slowly reached out, took her hand, looked her in the eyes, and said, "That's enough for today's trial."
Looking into William's eyes, Alice finally calmed down, feeling a bit wronged. Tears involuntarily started to fall, but she quickly wiped them away, huffed softly, and remained silent.
The Nature Deity looked at William and asked, "Who are you? What do you mean by saying today's trial ends here?"
William didn't reply, but the aura around him suddenly became terrifying.
In just a short moment, all the strong beings of the Nature Deity level, and even Ares sitting in the distance, felt as if they couldn't catch their breath, each turning pale.
What level of power was this?
Supreme Deity?
Absolute Deity?
Under such a terrifying aura, they felt like the most insignificant dust, with William appearing as the sovereign ruler of everything, and the others no more than ants.
William, with a warm smile, slowly sheathed the sword in Alice's hand, and said, "Let's go home. I'll cook."
Alice exhaled deeply, her whole body relaxed, letting William lead her by the hand towards the safe zone in District 3.
None of the Nature Deities present dared to stop them any longer. They had realized that no matter how many of them there were, they couldn't kill Alice.
Their attempt to kill Alice was nothing but a trivial game in the eyes of someone more powerful.
"Why didn't you let me continue fighting?" Alice asked curiously as they walked, "I think if I could defeat all of them, I would become really powerful."
William, wrapping his arm around her shoulders, asked, "Do you want to kill them all?"
"Kill them all?" Alice's pupils dilated for a moment, she took a deep breath and said, "I guess not, it doesn't have to come to killing..."
What else could be done if not killing, given the circumstances?
William didn't explain further, simply saying, "That's enough. You've withstood the pressure and made great progress. Take it slow! There's plenty of time."
Thousands of years ago, William did have some reservations about the Cosmic Entity because Artemis died under the rules set by the Cosmic Entity, and he couldn't track down its whereabouts.
But now, he seemed to have become many times stronger than before, gradually understanding what the Cosmic Entity's original power was, even managing to turn the power of the divine halo into his own.
Cosmic Entity?
Merely a trifle!
If the Cosmic Entity dares to touch Alice now...
If one punch doesn't solve the problem, then two punches it will be!
Living a peaceful life on Earth is the same as in the Divine Realm for William,there's no significant difference to him.
Cultivation has never been just about becoming stronger.
Alice's journey from an ordinary person to the peak of an Elemental Deity level was incredibly short. She hadn't faced much hardship, yet William could sense that her mental state had already undergone many changes.
From initially being just curious to now striving for a specific goal.
"I feel like eating vegetarian." Alice had just killed someone, and felt somewhat uncomfortable,the idea of eating meat seemed repulsive to her.
Those who have never killed might think those who act decisively in killing are formidable, but those who have truly killed know it's like stepping on a path of no return.
And for anyone with a normal psyche, the first time killing one's own kind and witnessing the bloody scene would likely be unsettling.
It's almost an instinct encoded in animal genes.
"Then let's have vegetarian food!" With a step, William and Alice crossed space, directly appearing in the house he bought in District 3.
Many deities in the Divine Realm don't excessively pursue culinary pleasures, so William's house didn't have a kitchen. With a wave of his hand, the air filled with a subtle change, as if reality itself twisted under his will.
As William's gesture settled, the twisted space calmed down, and a modern, fully equipped kitchen was miraculously created.
He had thought about slowly building a kitchen himself, as that would be more interesting, but since Alice was waiting to eat, he opted for a quicker solution.
"What are you holding in your hand? Can you eat it?" Alice saw the plants William pulled out from nowhere, her eyes wide with surprise.
The bunch of plants William took out was bright red and shiny, looking more like a decorative item than something edible.
Such things definitely didn't exist on Earth.
William glanced at her, his tone calm yet with a hint of mystery: "This is Shadowlight Herb."
Alice, having studied medicine and learned quite a bit from William, naturally knew what Shadowlight Herb was.
In ancient European mythology, there are records of a peculiar plant that grows in the underworld, shining in the dark realm like the light of distant stars. This plant is known as the "Shadowlight Herb," and legend has it that messengers of the underworld use it to light the way to Hades' temple, and its glow can even reveal demons hiding in the darkness.
"Does this taste good?" Alice's mouth twitched.
It is said that Hades often ate pastries made from this herb, proving it was indeed edible, but... could it be tasty?
"I haven't tried it myself, but I heard that eating it makes a person glow," William blinked, "Want to try?"
"..." Alice was speechless, "Even if we're eating vegetarian, we don't have to eat such bizarre things, do we?"
William helplessly said, "What can we do? There's no supermarket around here. If you wanted to eat meat, that would be easy, just take one of the deities' pets. But if you want to eat vegetarian... let's try this first!"
Alice looked at William expressionlessly.
Was she being used as a guinea pig?
After a moment, William said, "I used to have a fox that liked eating this."
"Good thing it wasn't a dog," Alice chuckled.
"If you want to eat dog food, I have that too," William said.
"..." Alice was mistaken,she had actually thought William was becoming gentler.
She had thought that after becoming William's wife, he would dote on her in every possible way.
Well, well, he hasn't changed,he's still as unromantic as ever...
