Chapter 778 It is poisonous, you... want to try?

Seraphina had faced life and death several times.

When she possessed Sofia, she knew right away that William was no ordinary man, and she even harbored some feelings for him at one point.

However, the more she interacted with William, the more she realized how inscrutable he was.

It's natural for women to be attracted to powerful men, but just how powerful William was had become a mystery.

Judging from the powers William had displayed, Seraphina found it hard to estimate, but based on the strength of Amy's two masters...

She could guess that William was likely on the same level as two high-ranking god-kings.

It was very possible that William was even more powerful than those two high-ranking god-kings.

Otherwise, how could he have both high-ranking god-kings teaching Amy at the same time?

Amy was talented, but her talent was just decent, not so extraordinary that it would warrant simultaneous guidance from two high-ranking god-kings.

Even the sea god Poseidon and the king of gods, Zeus, had given their most powerful artifacts to Amy.

Putting all these facts together made the situation quite terrifying.

Seraphina considered herself strong, at least strong enough to match most men in the world.

But she didn't feel she was a match for high-ranking god-kings, nor did she think such beings would be interested in a romantic relationship with her.

Similarly, she was puzzled why William would be with Alice.

Compared to her, wasn't Alice even more ordinary?

In terms of looks, physique, and strength, everything about her was so average.

William didn't care what Seraphina thought. Due to a misunderstanding about William's tastes before her rebirth, Seraphina's current form could only be described as petite and cute, with an unremarkable bust.

From a "Bombshell" to the "Girl-next-door."

How could William, a mature man, possibly prefer such a girl-next-door?

"Would you like to try some of these non-poisonous ones?" William eventually decided to make two versions of the octopus dish.

His portion contained a deadly poison, while Seraphina's was poison-free.

"Thank you." Seraphina wasn't usually this shy, except when she was around William, where she was exceptionally polite.

"You're welcome." William replied and then started eating his octopus.

Safety was basically not a concern.

Their flying speed was extremely fast,they could reach Arcane Village from New York in less than half a day, so these details were trivial.

William nodded, continuing to eat his octopus meat. After a moment's thought, he decided not to give the poisonous octopus to Seraphina, considering its potency.

"Mr. Johnson, is the octopus meat you're eating really poisonous?" Seraphina noticed that the octopus meat on William's plate looked quite different from what was on her own.

The octopus meat on William's plate emitted a faint blue glow, seemingly filled with a mysterious allure.

The octopus meat on her plate was clean and translucent, a stark contrast.

"It is poisonous, you... want to try?" William hesitated, "I'm not sure if you can handle this poison."

Seraphina smiled brightly, "With you here, even if I get poisoned, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"Besides, my true form is the Eternal Vine, which theoretically should be immune to poison."

"Then why don't you try?" William placed a piece of the blue octopus meat onto Seraphina's plate.

Seraphina, bold as ever, picked it up and popped it into her mouth.

"Hmm?" Seraphina's eyes widened, a faint noise escaped her lips, and she stiffly fell over.

Her fall was more realistic than some depicted in movies, her head thudding loudly on the ground.

William raised an eyebrow, looking at Seraphina on the floor.

Good grief!

She wasn't breathing!

She hadn't been poisoned to death, had she?

On reflection, the poison of the Blue-Striped Devil Octopus was indeed fierce. Although Seraphina's true form was the Eternal Vine, to say it was completely unaffected seemed unlikely!

After all, some toxins, when poured on plants, could kill them instantly!!

William calmly ate two more pieces of octopus meat, only to see Seraphina's skin begin to turn blue, a faint blue light flickering.

She wasn't dead!

Indeed, Seraphina was even absorbing the toxins.

William nodded at Seraphina, appreciating that her plant-based form was quite remarkable. If she could absorb the toxin from the Blue-Striped Devil Octopus, then she would likely be able to absorb other toxins from Mutated creatures as well. This could potentially allow her to specialize in using poisons in the future. With this ability, her strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.

Being plant-based, her adaptability was incredibly strong!
