Chapter 654 You get my point, right?
Loki, of course, didn't understand the nuances of a girl's mind, but in the current situation, whatever the master says goes.
Besides, Alice was generous in her gift, providing him with an ancient Dark Artifact that suited him well. He studied its properties and abilities in his hands, cherishing it as a treasured find.
William glanced at the Primordial Dragon Lords and the ancient phoenix, asking, "Do you want to leave?"
The Primordial Dragon Lords and the ancient phoenix were ancient mythical beasts that survived the great calamities. They were powerful but seen by the Divine Realm more like oddities that humans would lock up for later study.
Or perhaps, they were treasured like Giant Pandas, kept in captivity, though they didn't receive nearly as good treatment...
The Primordial Dragon Lords excitedly said, "Of course, we do!"
However, the ancient phoenix shook its head, stating, "I don't want to leave."
This left the dragon incredulous; could the phoenix have lost its mind?
Mr. Johnson offered such an opportunity, and it was not seized?
She didn't want to leave?
Did she wish to stay in this forsaken place forever?
The ?ancient phoenix said, "Even if we go out, what then?" It stared at the Primordial Dragon Lords, paused, and continued, "The tide has turned, it's no longer our era. Would those high-ranking god-kings let us off? Are we to become their mounts or slaves once we're out?"
Hearing this, the Primordial Dragon Lords was at a loss for words.
In the ancient era, the battle of gods, mythical beasts, and humans
The original ancient dragons, due to excessive killing, accumulated too much karma, leading to divine punishment. Zeus sealed them under Mount Olympus, condemning them to never leave.
The first ancient phoenix, gravely injured, attempted to return to the Eternal Volcano.
However, midway, it was struck by elemental energies and an unexpected dark force invaded its body. This force clashed violently with the phoenix's life essence, leading to its rebirth from ashes in a haze of mist.
Since then, the dragon and phoenix clans declined and faded from history, their descendants left to cling to other powers.
Afterwards, the descendants of these two clans were often hunted by Soulmancers, their bodies dismembered and used as materials for alchemy.
Even more, they forced the dragon clan's princess to bear offspring with other species for consumption.
The strong ones among the dragon clan were also mostly bullied.
"He's currently trapped in a spatial illusion array and won't be able to get out anytime soon," William said. "I'll take you all out when I return next time."
...
At this moment, Forseti was still dreaming within the spatial illusion array, fantasizing about becoming the king of the Divine Realm, unaware of the imminent danger lurking within the powerful illusion array.
He had no idea that his beloved William was discussing how his two distant relatives were planning to give him a thorough beating once he emerged from the array.
Alice, leading Loki, managed to leave and couldn't help but ask, "You're not intentionally pranking Forseti, are you?"
William raised an eyebrow, "Why would I prank him?"
Alice chuckled, knowing full well from her own experiences of being teased by William. She suspected William was just bored and doing these things for fun, and the idea of having the Primordial Dragon Lords and the ancient phoenix train their relative was probably just made up on the spot.
"Let's go! I'll introduce you to another one of my disciples, Jesus," William winked at Alice.
Based on Alice's experiences with William these days, she knew that whenever William said he was taking her somewhere, nine times out of ten, it wouldn't be anything good.
Shire, the City of Starlight, is located in the far eastern lands of the Divine Realm.
Ten thousand miles further east from this location is the land of the demon clan, known as the Land of Slaughter, a place not even Absolute Deities are willing to venture into.
It is known alongside the Ancient Abyss as one of the two forbidden zones of the Divine Realm.
Jesus, after hearing from William, settled down in Shire, the City of Starlight.
However, this place... It wasn't originally called Shire, the City of Starlight. It used to be known as Shadowfell Fortress, filled with demons, with a demon lord as its ruler.
Now, it has been forcibly renamed.
The script designed by William really put Jesus through a lot of trouble.
Having dispersed his divine power and left God's camp, Jesus was dropped here by William with only this bizarre mission.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and carry it out.
Forcing the demon lord to become sworn brothers with him and even changing the fortress's name - how could that be achieved without using force?
Was he really expected to persuade the demon lord with just words?
Despite being a kind soul, Jesus was forced to threaten the demon lord like a ferocious deity. William, on the other hand, simply left, and now Jesus finds himself surrounded by a hundred demon soldiers in the fortress's great hall, with no choice but to firmly grasp the demon lord's neck and not let go.
This standoff has lasted for several days now...
