Chapter 374 Technology can triumph over magic.

William, of course, wouldn't be so bored as to go to a bar for a drink.

After leaving the yard, he headed straight for the newly discovered land near New York.

Not for any trivial reason, but because something had happened there that even William found interesting.

In ten days, the major Guilds had already established magical barriers around their guilds, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter.

Any ordinary person who tried to approach the edge of this area seemed bewitched and couldn't enter.

Soulmancers had too many ways to deal with ordinary people. Simply keeping them out was easy.

So now, naturally, there weren't as many people around there.

After William entered, he leisurely walked towards the area where the 13th Bureau was located.

Not long after he walked, a bear-like creature suddenly stood up.

This creature was three stories tall, making William look like a tiny shrimp in front of it.

William just stood there, unmoving, looking at the creature.

He was certain that the creatures from this parallel dimension had all died out, but here it was, standing up!

It wasn't any secret magic or puppetry!

But it just stood there, unexplained.

William frowned slightly, staring at the bear's paw...

No, at the bear...

The bear actually waved at William, very friendly, like an acquaintance greeting a friend.

Ha! Interesting!

William couldn't help but laugh.

The bear definitely wasn't a living creature, so what kind of method could make it perform such an action?

Just then, William's phone rang.

"William, how is it? Were you scared?"

It was Zoey!

Of course, the bear was a creation of the 13th Bureau!

That scientist Jhin was really something!

Even without using special abilities, if these fierce creatures are well controlled, relying on their thick skin and brute strength, they could easily hammer some mid-level Soulmancer elites, couldn't they?

"Scared?" William laughed, "How did you manage to do that?"

A standing creature frightening William? Clearly, that was unlikely.

He was simply curious.

"You'll know if you come to the base," Zoey said and then hung up the call.

William knew it was a new trick by that scientific madman Jhin.

To achieve this in just ten days, the scientist Jhin was no simple character.

William timed his arrival at the Cloud9 training base.

At this time, the Cloud9 team members were all in front of their computers, operating something.

William glanced at the computer screens. They were in a first-person perspective, controlling those fierce creatures to perform various actions.

Especially that young man named Sneaky, who was controlling a gigantic flying beast to dance in the air. noVE(lb-1n

The other members of Cloud9 also seemed quite skilled in their control.

In the ten days William had been away, it seemed a lot had happened.

"William! See, technology will eventually triumph over magic!" Jhin, seeing William, was very pleased, his face creased with a smile.

He had heard about William using his 096 armor to battle mid-level Soulmancer elites and even killing Julian.

He had great admiration for William.

"Indeed, technology can triumph over magic," William also acknowledged, especially since the weapons configured on the 096 armor could indeed slay Soulmancers above its level.

Ordinary people fighting mid-level Soulmancers wasn't impossible, but the precondition was that the ordinary person's psychic power was sufficiently strong.

As for technology defeating magic, it also depended on who was casting the magic.

What if the opponent was William?

No matter how powerful the technology, if it dared to confront William, it would just become scrap metal. The armor would definitely be smashed to smithereens by him.

"How exactly did you do this?" What William was most curious about was how Jhin had managed to achieve this.

Jhin chuckled and said, "It's not that hard, actually. I was inspired by watching those young guys playing computer games outside."

"If they can control characters in those games, then why couldn't I design a system to control those fierce creatures?" Jhin continued with a smile. "I've seen the bodies they brought back; not a single nerve was damaged. With such bodies, all you need is to implant a chip and control their nerves with the system, and naturally, you can control their movements."

William narrowed his eyes at Jhin. Indeed, those fierce creatures were only soul-wiped; their physical bodies, including their nervous systems, were intact.

"When you tested your psychic power last time, the system crashed. Try it again now." Jhin had been waiting for this moment.

The last time they tested William's psychic power, their base's system crashed, and even the machinery burned out. He preferred to believe it was because of William's overwhelming psychic power rather than a flaw in his system.

William couldn't be bothered to explain and agreed to another test.

As expected, the system crashed again.

William could disguise his power level, but psychic power was something he really couldn't conceal.

Jhin's designed system was already very powerful. Normally, it could accurately test the psychic strength of Soulmancers below the Demi-God level.

But with William...

His psychic strength was off the charts!

"No wonder you can perfectly control the 096!" Jhin was thrilled.

He had put over a decade of effort into the 096 armor, but unfortunately, those with weak psychic power couldn't unleash all of its potential, and those with strong combat abilities found the armor cumbersome.

But now...

William's combat ability wasn't strong, but his psychic power was.

This was perfect!

"William, that suit of armor will be exclusively yours from now on!!" Jhin was thrilled to finally meet someone like William; his eyes lit up with eagerness as he looked at him.

Even though they could now control those fierce creatures, Jhin regarded the 096 armor as his masterpiece.

Steven also came over and said to William, "We now control the bodies of ten fierce creatures. In terms of strength, we should be unmatched by any Guild, provided we have a Quasi-Deity level powerhouse."

William nodded.

Although they could control the bodies of these creatures, they couldn't utilize their special abilities. In a real fight, they would still be instantly defeated by a Demi-God level opponent.

However, their actions were enough to deter all the Guilds.

The condition, again, was having a Quasi-Deity level powerhouse.

"In three days, the major Guilds will start recruiting apprentices, with registration points set up in each country. The age groups for apprenticeship are 5 to 10 years and 10 to 25 years," Steven informed William. "Those over 10 can only become associate members."

He was aware of William's capabilities, and this was like reporting work to William.

William fell silent, 10 to 25 years old...

He was currently 20 years old according to his identity information, so could he sign up?

Although it didn't match his actual age, it seemed like it could be fun.
