Chapter 853 Eat a banana?

Lucien's immense power was now beyond question.

Athena was considered one of the stronger fighters among the Absolute Deities, yet she was defeated by Lucien with a single move!

His rebirth, powered by the strength of warriors from three thousand parallel worlds, was no joke. Even Odin and his ilk were mere puppets before him. What chance did Athena stand?

However, his strength was still far from sufficient when compared to William.

Just earlier, in front of the Parthenon temple, William had merely defended passively. It was already impressive that Lucien could break through his defensive barrier, especially since once William put on his mask, Lucien couldn't even sense his presence. This alone clearly showed the gap in their strengths.

Now, as they entered a separate space, Lucien immediately sensed something was amiss.

He had been forcibly brought into this space by William.

He knew all too well what that implied.

William's ability to bring him into this space indicated that Lucien was completely outclassed.

"How strong are you, really?" Lucien asked, holding his sword but not daring to strike.

William smiled. "Do you remember the first time we fought?"

Lucien pondered. Back on Earth, as a descendant of Nostradamus and a genius in the arcane art of the Ninefold Stellar Sanctuary, he had dared to attack William in a bookstore.

William had merely flipped through a book and effortlessly dismantled Lucien's Ninefold Stellar Sanctuary.

That battle had once been considered a humiliation for Lucien!

But looking back now, it was a different story.

The fact that he had dared to attack William, who had spared his life, was an act of mercy.

"Does bringing that up serve any purpose?"

Lucien's expression was grim. "You don't think I'm still that same little Soulmancer, do you?"

"Do you think it makes a difference?" William countered.

"How can it not?" Lucien's expression turned strange. According to William, what was the point of his rebirth after hundreds of thousands of years and countless efforts?

"Then make your move!" William was tired of the talk.

After all, Lucien was merely a lingering obsession expelled from a body, reborn in a mortal form. How much stronger could he get?

"Aren't you going to use your sword?" Lucien, now a fusion of two consciousnesses, shared William's pride. Unlike those who possessed others and erased their souls, he disdained the idea of erasing Lucien's soul, just as he had spared Athena.

Though he sought strength, he was not the type to kill indiscriminately. Many of his beliefs aligned with William's; whether or not to erase Lucien's soul made no difference to him.

"Would you prefer I use a sword?"

Lucien nodded seriously.

Why keep butting heads with William unnecessarily?

Lucien didn't say anything more to William and simply vanished. Where he went wasn't William's concern.

This was about William's obsession with becoming stronger, not about killing. His thoughts were much like William's, so William wasn't worried about him doing anything drastic.

It seemed, even if the world suffered, it didn't really matter.

What did it have to do with William?

After Lucien left, William found himself a bit bored. He had thought Lucien might become strong enough to challenge him, but the gap in their strengths was just too vast.

Or perhaps, it was that he was too strong.

Back in Metispolis, Alice and Zeus were waiting in the distance.

On the way, William spotted a healthy-looking banana tree and picked three bananas.

"Eat a banana," William handed one to Alice and Zeus.

Alice shook her head. "I won't eat!"

Eat a banana?

Was William implying something?

That would be twisted!

Thinking this, Alice's face flushed, and she shyly glanced at William.

William simply punched Zeus on the head.

Zeus, holding the banana, looked innocently at William, unsure why he had been hit.

"It's okay, I meant to hit Alice but hit you by mistake," William said.

Zeus: "..."

Alice's face turned even redder, clearly guessing what William had thought.

Could it be?

Really?

That feels so twisted!

Alice decided not to look at William anymore.

William rolled his eyes at her. What was this woman thinking about every day?

But considering Alice's current constitution, he wondered if she could even bear him a child.

The stronger the species, the harder it is to reproduce, but William was now so powerful that he could disregard those rules. Having a child didn't seem too excessive.
