Chapter 544 You wouldn't dare kill me, right?
Indeed, Alice initially took Eryx by surprise.
How many years had it been?
How long since someone had spoken to him with such audacity?
If she were truly a person of high stature, Eryx would naturally recognize her, and there would be no need for an identity token.
For a newcomer like Alice to be so brazen, it's truly the first time he has encountered such a thing since he began guarding the gates of the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods.
Eryx's aura surged as he glared at Alice with wide eyes.
Unperturbed by any fault on her part, Alice raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "What are you staring at? Are you going to let us through or not?"
Eryx was taken aback. He released his own aura, which would typically crush anyone of lesser strength, obliterating their soul on the spot.
But he could distinctly feel that the energy he unleashed was absorbed instead.
This girl seemed unaffected, and even more, he was unable to sense her energy signature.
What level of power did she possess that made her undetectable?
"Do you intend to force your way into the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods?" Eryx wasn't intimidated by Alice. Holding his divine sword, he watched her warily and warned, "I don't care who you are, if you don't show your identity token, you're not getting in!"
Eryx stood unafraid.
The gate of the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods represented the image of the Divine Alliance, and Eryx was fulfilling his duty diligently.
Even if the person before him was enigmatic, could she really kill him?
As soon as Eryx finished speaking, thousands of soldiers from the Celestial Legion of Olympus, armed with divine weapons, glared down from the city walls at Alice and her companion.
Should Alice dare to make a move, they would immediately activate the defensive magical formations of the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods.
Once the magical formation was activated, even a Destroyer Deity-level being would be severely injured. And for those below the level of a Destroyer Deity, there was no need to mention their fate – they would be essentially annihilated.
Although William often bests Creator Deities in combat, reaching the level of a Nature Deity in the Divine Alliance is considered upper-middle class, while being a Destroyer Deity places one among the powerhouses of the Divine Realm, entitled to their own palace and territory.
As for Creator Deities, they are regarded as kings within the entire Divine Realm.
If a Quasi-Deity level Soulmancer were in this situation without William's protective token, they would likely have perished on the spot, turned to dust.
Alice, feeling the tension, wasn't significantly affected but was still somewhat panicked.
William turned to look at Alice.
Ah, this!!
She suddenly became clever?
Planning to get into the prison first and then figure out how to rescue Loki?
But, if that was the case, it seemed like there wouldn't be any problem!
William simply chose to remain silent.
Eryx hadn't expected this young lady to be so aggressive.
"Miss, everything before was a misunderstanding..."
"There's no misunderstanding; I want to go in!" Alice thought of a shortcut, and noticing that William remained silent beside her indicated that it should be feasible.
The requirement given to her by William was to enter Zone 28, without specifying how.
This also implied that William could ensure, as long as they got into Zone 28, they would be able to rescue Loki.
By such reasoning, if Loki couldn't escape from a place but William could lead Loki out, wouldn't that mean William was even more formidable than Loki?
The idea of infiltrating Zone 28 without being detected seemed too challenging, and even if she made it to Zone 28, she would still need to locate the prison.
So why not cut to the chase and get directly into the prison?
After a moment of clarity, Alice realized this was a great opportunity!
Completing the mission right at the start without any effort.
Truly, a clever move by Alice!
Eryx said, "The prison in Zone 28 isn't a place just any deity can enter, and once inside, your power level will continuously weaken over time. It's better if you don't go."
"No! I want to go in!" Alice blinked and smiled, "You wouldn't dare kill me, right?"
Eryx felt a headache coming on and said, "Miss, please stop joking. How could I possibly kill you? You should enter the city first." While speaking, Eryx kept making eye signals at William, hoping he would intervene.
Your sister is being unreasonable, but as a brother, you seem to know the etiquette, right?
When he looked at William, he saw William's gaze shift away, deliberately avoiding his look, with an attitude of it not being his concern.
