Chapter 697 The Mutated World

Artemis was revived, much to the joy of Rhode, Nereids, and Triton. Because of this, the "training" they had planned for Alice became much simpler.

William gave Alice one last look, then returned to Earth.

Previously, William had casually created an AuraField that triggered the revival of Earth's energy, merely enriching it enough to grant ordinary people supernatural abilities.

But this time, Dolly had converted the power of over a hundred divine halos into soul energy, concentrating it in the Milky Way, with the tiny Earth claiming 90% of it!

What did that mean?

Back when Dolly created the entire Divine Realm, it only took five divine halos. Among the high-ranking god-kings, even the mighty Zeus possessed only six divine halos.

Now, the power of over a hundred divine halos was reshaping Earth.

In just one day, Earth underwent drastic changes.

The brains of ordinary people were developed to their fullest potential, and the dense energy caused mutations in plants and animals.

The entire planet even physically expanded.

When William returned to his house on East 62nd Street, he found a Numbskull standing at the door.

Oxys!

One of the first batch of Shapeshifters lords who had come to Earth through secret arts from the Divine Realm.

"Mr. Johnson! You're back!" Oxys exclaimed upon seeing William and immediately knelt down.

Clang!

He knelt so hard that he made a big hole in the ground.

Wow, he knelt as soon as they met!

William looked at Oxys and said, "You've worked hard these days." With a flick of his finger, a crystal-clear divine medicine flew towards Oxys.

Oxys, eyes wide, caught the divine medicine and repeatedly kowtowed to William, "Mr. Johnson, thank you for your great kindness. I swear my loyalty to you unto death."

"Enough! Get up!" William said, noticing the curious neighbors starting to gather around.

"William, where have you been these days?" Richard Jefferson from East 62nd Street greeted William and glanced at Oxys, saying, "Your cousin here seems a bit too straightforward! Did he practice martial arts?"

Stepping out of East 62nd Street felt like entering another dimension, where Soulmancers wielding magical artifacts were busy slaying mutated flora and fauna.

There were gigantic three-headed dogs and vines with massive mouths.

A group of uniformed Soulmancers was actively cutting down these mutated creatures.

The Earth had just undergone a transformation, and members of the Galactic Special Forces were nearly driven mad.

Outside New York City, chaos reigned, and various mutated monsters appeared in the city. Except for East 62nd Street, most residents had gathered in the city center.

New York City was now divided into an inner city and an outer city, with the thoroughly cleansed city center. East 62nd Street was clearly part of the outer city, but Dolly dared not let the mutations breach East 62nd Street.

The mutated monsters subconsciously avoided East 62nd Street.

Once bustling New York City was now a scene of ruins and rubble everywhere.

Energy was suddenly abundant, yet the world seemed like it was facing an apocalypse.

William walked on the shattered streets when suddenly the ground cracked open, and a giant centipede emerged, its claws sharp as scythes, menacingly snapping at William. The dozens of centipede claws could easily trigger a claustrophobic's meltdown on the spot.

Hmm, it seemed Dolly hadn't instilled a fear of William into the genetic makeup of these mutated creatures.

Dolly probably understood William's existence the best. For a long time, she had been secretly observing him.

She knew very well how lonely a super-strong being like William could be. If all creatures avoided William upon seeing him, the world would become dull for him.

It wasn't about the strength of the opponents, but they had to look appealing...

"Kid, are you looking to die? Still wandering the streets!"

A figure shot out, punching the mutated giant centipede and sending it flying.

A familiar voice reached William's ears.

"Walker?" William glanced at the man. This guy had been studying witchcraft under Moros and was progressing quite fast. He had already reached the Demi-God level of strength, just one step away from qualifying to enter the Divine Realm.

Although this level of power was akin to that of an ant in the Divine Realm, it's worth noting that when William went to the Divine Realm, Walker had just become Moros's disciple, a mid-

level Soulmancer. It hadn't been long, and he had made significant progress.

"William? Where have you been these days? I thought you were dead!" Walker turned his head to look at William and said, "Be careful, stay behind me. This centipede is powerful!"
