Williams eyes widened before mentally accepting.

He knew the Flesh Puppets would be a great source of experience points, but he didnt think it was this much. If fifteen of the alerts had been of level-ups, there were eighteen for experience points.

William frowned slightly from disappointment in himself. He had only killed eighteen Flesh Puppets.

He glanced at the large group of them surrounding Corrupted Sophia and was again tempted to activate [Force Multiplier], this time to farm experience points.

It wasnt a terrible idea, and it would be one that he would give serious thought to after using the sudden wealth of attribute points.

Perish.

William tensed, thinking Corrupted Sophia directed that at him. His legs were already bent to make his escape when he saw what she did.

The Flesh Puppets around herover seventy for suremelted onto the ground in a puddle of gooey flesh.

Did you think I would continue to let you gain strength from them? Corrupted Sophia smiled at his surprise before checking her corporeal body. I have an offer for youa last chance if you will. Surrender, and I guarantee your life as long as your friends body is usable.

[Name: Sophia (Corrupted Avatar) | Level: ?]

She now had a basic status, which settled some doubts he still had. She was indeed a corrupted avatar, so he wasnt making a massive mistake. And she was in the Core Formation Realm.

William considered her offer seriously. It was hard not to when there were so many uncertainties.

He might be able to match her in a fight, but it would only be for a minute while [Force Multiplier] was active. After that, he would be helplessor so he suspected.

The overuse penalty for [Force Multiplier] only mentioned what would happen if there were two uses within a thirty-minute timeframe. There was nothing about a third use. It was likely it wouldnt even activate, or if it did, the result wouldnt be pretty.

Even if William was able to finish the fight with Corrupted Sophia within a minute, there was another issue. Could she even be killed? Or would she just revert to her incorporeal form, making her basically untouchable?

On the other hand, taking Corrupted Sophias offer would be the easy path. Much easier.

Corrupted Sophia didnt know Lord Paddlington was waiting for them outside the dimension. It would be an instant death for her when she exited the dimension.

However, there were two main negatives about this.

Kae might still be alive since Shitou had protected his head from the Lightning Gauntlet, and the way Corrupted Sophia spoke implied that was the case.

William had already tried to destroy Kaes body, but that was far, far different than letting him die. The former was out of desperation and necessity, the latter out of cowardice. Thinking about letting Corrupted Sophia take over Kaes body left a bad taste in his mouth.

The other negative was the one that made taking Corrupted Sophias offer nearly impossible. William did not trust a single word coming out of her mouth. He had no reason to.

Zheng Tao had acted kind and amenable, just like this corrupted avatar of Sophia, but the end result was full of deceit. If a fledgling cultivator was capable of such betrayal, so could a millennia-old, corrupted avatar.

Theres still something I dont get, William sidestepped her offer and prepared himself for what was coming. Why do you need to use Kaes body when yours is perfectly fine?

Im the key. As long as Im alive, this dimension cannot fall. Nor can anyone leave unless a prison keeper allows you to. But Im sure they died eons ago.

He had just been thinking that nothing out of her mouth could be trusted, but this was an exception. It made too much sense.

Otherwise, there was no logic in Corrupted Sophia willingly letting go of her body and replacing it with Kaesa beast hybrid. Freedom would be enough reason to look past her disdain for non-pure humans.

I see, William nodded. I suppose that should let me stomach what youre doing to Kae.

Corrupted Sophia raised an immaculate eyebrow. And yet, I suspect what follows will not please me.

[-200 Spiritual Energy]

William appeared before her in an instant, fists shining with Qi inches from her face.
