Chapter 650 The gods assemble...
It took Aphrodite a moment to gather her thoughts before she said, "William the Obliterator said that the fire god Agni was extorting him..."
"Hmph! Courting death!" Zeus lost even his kingly demeanor, furious to the heavens.
Seeing Zeus enraged, Heracles stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Father, that William the Obliterator is indeed courting death. I am willing to lead the Celestial Legion of Olympus to suppress him!"
Hearing Heracles say this, Zeus immediately wondered if there was something wrong with his son's brain.
Was he really his son?
"I will personally apologize to William the Obliterator!"
"Why should father bother with such matters?" Heracles misunderstood, thinking Zeus was going to personally fight William the Obliterator, but quickly realized and looked up somewhat foolishly, confusion in his eyes, "Apologize?"
Zeus sneered, "Otherwise? You want to fight William the Obliterator?"
"What's so great about William the Obliterator? He's just a legend from the era of the gods, but it's been so long since that name was heard. It must be a rumor. Father, you mustn't be afraid of him. If you personally apologize to him, what would become of the Divine Alliance's dignity?" Heracles believed he understood his father's intentions, thinking Zeus only meant to show his magnanimity.
Who else in the universe could demand an apology from Zeus?
"Summon all the divine officials to my Thunder Sanctum!" Zeus thought it over and decided that merely going to apologize to his teacher wasn't enough. He needed to call all the official deities of the Divine Alliance together and then apologize to his teacher to show sincerity.
As for Heracles, the fool, he would find an opportunity to strip him of his divine status later.
Hearing Zeus's command, Heracles immediately assumed Zeus wanted all the deities to band together to fight William the Obliterator.
"As you command!" Heracles hurriedly left to rally the divine officials.
After Heracles left, Zeus asked, "Aphrodite, did William the Obliterator say anything else?"
Aphrodite reported truthfully, "He won't let you see him."
Such words, Aphrodite thought, would surely enrage Zeus.
At least that's what Aphrodite thought, considering the words spoken by William the Obliterator, upon reflection, were indeed rather arrogant.
Did he think he could command Zeus?
Zeus is one of the leaders of the Divine Alliance!
The King of the Olympian Gods!
"So, that's how it is." After hearing this, Zeus sighed, probably understanding his teacher's intentions, "Then I won't go."
Zeus felt touched and a bit disappointed. It would have been nice to see his teacher again during this opportunity!
If possible, he would rather be a mere attendant in front of his teacher than the King of Gods, Zeus.
"..." Aphrodite couldn't grasp Zeus's sentiment.
What did this mean?
Why did Zeus's words sound so melancholic?
Why feel melancholy over such a matter?
As the King of Gods, Zeus, faced with such provocation, shouldn't he be angry?
Let's wait and see!
Aphrodite also heard Zeus instructing Heracles to summon the divine officials.
Even if William the Obliterator was strong, he probably only faced death now.
At this moment, Aphrodite recalled the uncle who used to dote on her so much.
In her memory, William the Obliterator was really good to her, as for her sisters...
Upon closer thought, William the Obliterator has never said that he likes them, and when her father Uranus proposed marriage with his daughters to William, William immediately refused without any hesitation or delay.
Rather than saying William the Obliterator really wronged her sisters, it would be more accurate to say that her sisters were deluding themselves.
Just like Adonis, who was chopping down the myrtle tree at the entrance of her Isle Palace of Delightful Love, Aphrodite didn't feel her sister owed Adonis anything.
Not loving is not loving. Does one have to be together with someone just because of the other's deep affection?
These issues were probably because her sisters were the ones hurt by love, which is why she harbored hatred towards William the Obliterator.
"I don't care what you think..."
This was what William the Obliterator said to her.
"Lord Zeus... Could you spare William the Obliterator's life, just strip him of his divine power?" Aphrodite knelt before Zeus.
She had decided that her uncle really hadn't done anything wrong. If he were stripped of his divine power, at least she could save his life.
"What are you talking about?" Zeus also couldn't understand what Aphrodite was saying.
Strip him of his divine power?
Is Aphrodite being na?ve?
As a disciple of William the Obliterator, who had witnessed him obliterate the archangel Amenadiel with a single palm strike, Zeus of course knew how strong his teacher was.
The gods of the Divine Alliance?
He could probably annihilate them with a wave of his hand!
"I..."
Just as Aphrodite began to speak, a divine official entered the Thunder Sanctum from outside, announcing, "Lord Zeus, Odin's envoy has killed the fire god Agni, the wind god Vayu, the water god Varuna, the plant god Parvati, and the earth god Bhumi—
five deities."
Zeus, hearing this, was also taken aback, frowning, "Odin's envoy?"
Aphrodite was stunned too. The fire god Agni was killed by William the Obliterator, right?
"Aphrodite, you said it was William the Obliterator who killed the fire god Agni, didn't you?" Zeus wanted to confirm again.
If it was Odin's envoy who did the killing, then it would surely lead to a direct confrontation with the Ultimate Force Alliance.
Such audacity, wasn't it disrespecting the Divine Alliance?
After thinking for a moment, Aphrodite said, "The fire god Agni was killed by William the Obliterator, as for the other deities... I don't know."
Zeus looked at the divine official and asked, "So, was it William the Obliterator or an envoy sent by Odin?"
"This..." The official was taken aback, glanced at Aphrodite, and said to Zeus, "Lord Zeus, someone heard Aphrodite calling that person 'uncle'."
Zeus immediately understood what was happening and waved the divine official away, saying, "I understand, you may go!"
Being called 'uncle' by Aphrodite, it definitely had to be William the Obliterator.
There was no doubt about it.
Although Odin is powerful, his audacity likely hasn't reached the point of sending someone to kill deities within the Divine Alliance, and to kill five at that.
Unless the Ultimate Force Alliance is looking to start a war with the Divine Alliance.
Not long after the divine official left, the divine officials of the Divine Alliance gradually arrived at the Thunder Sanctum.
On their way, they heard about the incident of Odin's envoy killing five deities.
"Has Odin gone mad?"
"Hey, it's also because the water god Varuna and the others failed to see the situation clearly. Odin's envoy killed the fire god Agni, surely for some reason, and that person must be powerful. Yet, they dared to seek vengeance?"
"Don't talk like that. It looks like Zeus is truly enraged this time, otherwise, he wouldn't have summoned all the divine officials of the Divine Alliance."
"I heard that Odin had just convened some Ultimate Force Alliance assembly recently, and now someone is boldly sent to execute deities within the Divine Alliance. It seems like a great war is imminent!"
...
A group of Divine Alliance's divine officials discussed fervently on their way, believing this incident to be of great significance.
And the rumors they heard were mostly about Odin's envoy killing five deities.
None dared to go to the 13th District to verify.
That envoy of Odin must be exceptionally strong, definitely reaching the level of an Absolute Deity!
Aside from high-order divine kings, wouldn't ordinary deities be seeking death by confronting him?
They decided to wait and see what Zeus would decide.
For a time, the divine officials of the Divine Alliance gathered at the Thunder Sanctum.
"The fire god Agni violated the Divine Alliance's regulations by opening a shop on his own, attempting to extort William the Obliterator. Subsequently, the water god Varuna and others provocatively challenged William the Obliterator. This has damaged the reputation of the Divine Alliance. I order all divine officials of the Divine Alliance to collectively go to the 13th District to apologize to William the Obliterator and his wife."
