513 You can provoke, but you must not truly ignite the flames

William gave the Cosmic Entity's incarnation a good thrashing.

Just simple, straightforward punches to the flesh.

But the Cosmic Entity's incarnation didn't resist at all, acting like a punching bag for William to beat up.

"Boring." With a kick, William sent the Cosmic Entity's incarnation flying and finally stopped.

Before this, William was somewhat curious about the Cosmic Entity.

He even thought that the Cosmic Entity might be like him, simply powerful to a certain degree.

Like a main god of a parallel dimension setting some world laws.

Now it seems the Cosmic Entity exists in this world in a form of consciousness.

Or rather, the Cosmic Entity does have a physical form but chose not to fight William, hence the elaborate ruse.

The Cosmic Entity must have also concluded that William wouldn't directly kill it...

From what the Cosmic Entity said, it's also inferable that besides this universe, there are likely other universes in existence.

William believes these pieces of information were deliberately revealed by the Cosmic Entity.

He hasn't been naive enough to think the Cosmic Entity is like a frightened little girl, even giving up resistance in front of William.

Could a being possibly born over seventeen billion years ago be weak?

Or to say, would it be scared? Afraid?

Even the "frustration" shown in front of William is probably an act.

A complete drama king!!

It's even possible that the Cosmic Entity deliberately leaked so much information because it wants to use William for something.

William didn't bother to expose it, as long as it's confirmed that the Cosmic Entity is conscious, that's enough.

In the long and tedious life, he's found a worthy opponent, it seems.

"Why did you choose Alice?" William had only this question.

He was not in a hurry to inquire about the rest.

And even if he asked, the Cosmic Entity might not necessarily tell him the truth.

William knew this was what the Cosmic Entity really wanted to say.

"Do you think these are things I can't do myself?" William merely lifted his eyelids, the temptation the Cosmic Entity thought William couldn't refuse was actually not tempting at all.

Over the years, William had been researching how to resurrect a person.

And indeed, he had achieved it.

Seraphina, along with those vampires and Frankenstein's monster, all count as a form of resurrection, in a way.

But he had never resurrected Artemis again.

With his current capabilities, he could even directly recreate Artemis from his memories.

The same abilities, endowed with the same memories.

It's like programming a robot,William could even imbue her with emotions, just like when he created the first humans from clay.

But he hadn't done so.

Because he wasn't sure if such a creation would truly still be Artemis.

The Cosmic Entity trying to tempt William with such matters ultimately holds no significance.

Isn't William the same?

Some things are not about ability, but about willingness.

"You really are a headache."

"Do you even have a head?"

"..." The Cosmic Entity said, "Is this conversation about whether I have a head?"

"Cut the nonsense!" William frowned, "What exactly do you mean by 'guardian'?"

The Cosmic Entity could only explain: "Like Alice, who is by your side, she received the holy halo I bestowed upon her, making her my guardian. We, the universes, have an agreement to hold a battle between guardians every once in a while. There are penalties for those who lose, you know."

William's smile grew wider, but a terrifying murderous intent enveloped the entire black hole where the Cosmic Entity resided: "Is this why you made Alice a guardian?"

"No, no, no! Like I said, I chose her because I didn't want to be your enemy. When the time comes, she can choose not to fight!" This time, the Cosmic Entity seemed genuinely panicked, knowing full well the serious consequences of truly angering someone like William, who has the ability to create new spaces.

Or even destroy this universe and take those he wishes to another universe, it's not impossible!

You can provoke, but you must not truly ignite the flames.
