Chapter 679 Wager
William was momentarily taken aback upon seeing the petite figure before him.
Poseidon found the figure somewhat familiar and bowed leisurely towards the Cosmic Entity, "Poseidon greets the Cosmic Entity!"
It was Poseidon's first time seeing the Cosmic Entity in a human form.
"Hello, Mr. Johnson!" The Cosmic Entity, no taller than 3 feet, resembled Amy at the age of five, even wearing a thick, pale yellow down jacket, looking like a clumsy and silly little penguin.
The mushy voice made William narrow his eyes slightly.
The Cosmic Entity lifted its head, looking at William with a naive expression.
"Did you intentionally take on Amy's appearance?" William's face gradually broke into a smile, though it was a cold one, "Do you wish to die?"
The Cosmic Entity used what could be described as "Amy-style puppy dog eyes," pitifully saying, "Mr. Johnson, are you going to hit me?"
"Heh!" William didn't bother to dwell on these matters. In his eyes, Amy was Amy, the foolish child had grown up, and growing up meant just that,one couldn't expect someone to stay foolish forever.
The Cosmic Entity adopting this form was meant to appease William, and she probably thought that by doing so, she wouldn't get hit.
From what the Cosmic Entity knew of William, as long as he wasn't provoked, he was actually quite easy-going.
"Mr. Johnson, do you plan to join the battle?" The Cosmic Entity clambered onto a chair, its actions and demeanor closely resembling five-year-old Amy.
"I will join! But I must bring my wife along, any objections?" William asked.
"Whatever Mr. Johnson says is fine," the Cosmic Entity laid on the chair, naively looking at William.
"Such words, coming from Amy's mouth, always seem odd." William was capricious, uncertain whether to be happy or angry at the Cosmic Entity taking on Amy's appearance.
It could only be said that the damned Cosmic Entity had managed to grasp his personality.
Her adopting this form could at least win a bit of William's favor, even if it was mixed with some displeasure.
Very nice!
"Mr. Johnson, how about I first take you to see the battlefield of the Cosmic Entity Guardians' battle? They have already started fighting." The Cosmic Entity giggled, "It's a gathering of strong beings from fifty-nine universes."
William laughed, "Are you using me as a pawn, or do you intend to have someone else kill me?"
"Both! Hehe!" The Cosmic Entity's eyes shone brighter than Amy's ever did, and she didn't shy away from William's question.
"Good, let's go take a look." William didn't mind being used as a pawn, nor did he care about the Cosmic Entity wanting him dead.
Poseidon stood by without speaking, now remembering that the Cosmic Entity's appearance resembled his little disciple Amy quite closely.
Poseidon also knew how fond William was of Amy, and the Cosmic Entity adopting this form was clearly an attempt to ingratiate herself with William, which was quite interesting.
And then there was their conversation...
"Are you coming?" William glanced back at Poseidon.
"May I?" Poseidon, of course, wanted to go. Being a guardian of the Cosmic Entity himself, he couldn't avoid the Cosmic Entity Guardians' battle. Pre-visiting the battlefield would be ideal.
William's gaze fell on the Cosmic Entity.
"If Mr. Johnson says you can go, then of course you can go!" The Cosmic Entity smiled.
William blinked.
In the next moment, the three of them vanished from the Palace of the Sea God.
This wasn't any space magic, but the power of the Cosmic Entity's space laws.
Almost instantly, William felt himself traveling from this universe to another unique space.
"So that's how it is!" William instantly understood how to travel from one universe to another.
Each universe is actually adjacent, like giant bubbles connected together. To travel from one universe to another, one must either master the laws of both universes simultaneously or be led through by a Cosmic Entity.
Or, one must grasp the true supreme cosmic truth.
When they saw light again, William and his companions found themselves standing atop a blue light screen.
Below them, an independent space resembling an arena was visible, where two high-tier Sky Kings were engaged in fierce combat!
There were a total of fifty-nine light screens, each a different color. On the platforms of other light screens, some were occupied by high-tier Sky Kings, while others were empty.
After William and his group appeared, a creature enveloped in nothingness on an adjacent light screen looked over at the Cosmic Entity and laughed, "Little Thirteen, why have you taken on this form? Are those two with you your guardians?"
The Cosmic Entity stuck out her tongue at the creature and retorted with a roll of her eyes, "Mind your own business!"
"Little Thirteen, it's been so long, and you've only found these two?" the neighboring creature laughed. "Come on, why don't we have a match between our two universes? My guys here are itching for a fight."
Behind the seemingly ethereal creature were ten other bizarre figures, all carefully observing William and Poseidon.
The Cosmic Entity pouted, "I haven't even gathered ten people yet, so no fighting!" Then, looking up at William with an appearance of innocence, she asked, "Mr. Johnson, do you want to fight?"
William nodded, "Let's have a match for fun!"
"For fun? Hahaha! This kid is interesting!" the creature from next door laughed. "This isn't something to take lightly! The outcome is a fight to the death!"
After saying this, he suddenly paused and stared at the Cosmic Entity, asking, "What did you just call him?"
The Cosmic Entity naturally replied, "Mr. Johnson!"
"Which universe is he from?" The creature finally took William seriously, "I can't see his power level? A Sovereign High Divine King? Where did you scam him from?"
"He's from my universe!" The Cosmic Entity looked up and challenged, "Since our Mr. Johnson wants to have some fun, do you dare to fight?"
The creature smirked, "What's a Sovereign High Divine King anyway? It's not like I haven't seen one before!"
William asked the Cosmic Entity, "Who is he?"
The Cosmic Entity responded, "The Cosmic Entity from the neighboring twelfth universe."
William then asked, "Do you have a wager?"
The Cosmic Entity nodded, laughing, "Yes, there's a wager of the power of ten sacred auras!"
The power of the sacred aura is the foundation of a universe's construction. The strength of a universe depends on the number of sacred auras it possesses.
Previously, the Cosmic Entity had suffered quite a bit because of William.
"Split it ninety-ten!" William glanced at the Cosmic Entity. Did he not know what sort of scheme the Cosmic Entity was concocting?
Thinking cutesy behavior would let her pick up a bargain?
That wasn't going to happen!
"Me nine, you one? How about giving you thirty percent instead?" The Cosmic Entity looked at William, uncertain if he genuinely misunderstood her or was pretending, even flashing a smile, "Actually, splitting fifty-fifty is also okay."
William stared at her, remaining silent.
"Alright! You nine, me one!" The Cosmic Entity shrugged its shoulders, finally realizing that acting cute was ineffective.
She truly wasn't the real Amy.
And even if it were Amy in her younger years trying to act spoiled in front of William, sometimes she still couldn't avoid ending up in tears.
