nAmy didn’t cry for long. The tiger in the zoo, sensing some terrifying aura, didn’t dare to act rashly. Instead, it hid like a frightened little animal in a corner, looking out at the group of people and the terrifying Shapeshifter lords with a pitiful gaze.

n“Amy, wipe your snotty nose,” William said, noticing Amy’s tear-streaked face and her nose bubbling, yet still playing cheerfully with the Shapeshifter lords.

nHe pulled out a tissue and handed it to her.

nAmy wiped her nose, then handed the used tissue back to William.

nUh…

nWilliam took the tissue and walked over to a nearby trash can, where he disposed of it.

nHe then sat back and watched Amy play joyfully with the Shapeshifter lords.

nThe Shapeshifter lords were terrified throughout, fearing that the human child wouldn’t have fun, which would spell disaster for them.

nThey played from morning until 2:00 in the afternoon, by which time Amy was finally hungry.

nThe Shapeshifter lords, made cute by William and many of them fluffy, provided a lot of comforts.

nAmy spent most of the time laughing and playing.

nIf she ever lost her balance and fell, several Shapeshifter lords would rush to cushion her fall, ensuring even a tumble was soft and gentle. 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝑜𝑚

nHow could she not enjoy such play?

nWilliam didn’t do anything else that afternoon, just accompanied Amy and others as they ate and drank around the zoo.

nWith hamburgers, fries, and grilled sausages, Amy ate until her little belly was round, and her face was filled with contented smiles.

nLuna, however, felt uneasy, seeing those Shapeshifter lords transformed into their current state, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of emotional resonance.

nIn fact, half an hour after William and the others left the Bronx Zoo, those Shapeshifter lords immediately reverted to their humanoid forms and fully regained their powers, possibly because they had devoured Lernaeus, feeling a significant increase in their strength.

nHowever, William’s voice appeared in their minds.

n“All Shapeshifters, report to CLOUD9 club tomorrow afternoon at 2 PM to collect your temporary visas. Those who miss the time will not be waited for!”

nTemporary visas?

nThe Shapeshifter lords suddenly felt as if their brains weren’t quite up to the task.

n“What is a temporary visa?”

nThanarok, having read legal books and having actually read quite a lot since arriving in this world, explained, “A temporary visa is a document used to register and provide services to a transient population.”

nThis was the first time the Shapeshifter lords had heard of such a thing.

nWherever they went before, they never needed any kind of documentation.

nThey would just dominate a place as soon as they arrived.

nThe indigenous people?

nThey were either considered food or simply killed.

nTheir arrival in the Prime World was initially intended to dominate it, but now they needed temporary visas?

nWhat was going on!

nBut did they dare to refuse?

nWilliam had simply stated tomorrow afternoon at two and added that he wouldn’t wait if they were late. Did that mean they couldn’t get the visa after the time had passed?

nIf they didn’t get the visa, did that mean they couldn’t stay in this place?

nAnd if they couldn’t stay, did that mean they had no reason to exist in this world?

nUh…oh!

nThinking about what just happened, even if they were given a hundred times the courage, they wouldn’t dare say, “I won’t do this temporary visa anymore.”

n“Since Mr. Johnson said so, let’s go get it done,” Thanarok said. “All Shapeshifter lords must obey the laws of this world. I was already warned by Mr. Johnson yesterday.”

nThanarok was relieved he had heeded the advice and followed the law. He didn’t even dare to think about what the consequences would be if he had done something wrong in the past two days.

nWould he have died suddenly like Lernaeus?

nThis thought sent a chill down his spine, making him shiver.

n“Temporary visa, I should get one too.”

nNow, the Shapeshifter lords were no longer contemplating killing Moros’ avatar.

nJust staying alive was good enough.

nBesides, with Lernaeus dead, all the Shapeshifter lords combined might still not be able to contend with the deity of witchcraft who controls the power of space.

nA group of Shapeshifter lords provoking a deity of witchcraft was inherently a huge risk.

nIn the evening, William still made a call to Steven.

nThere seemed to be no one around Steven, who lowered his voice like an intelligence officer, asking, “Mr. Johnson, what can I do for you?”

nWilliam said, “It’s not an order, but tomorrow afternoon at two, a group of Shapeshifter lords from the void realms of the underworld will be arriving. I think we should give them temporary visas, then educate them on the laws.”

n“The void realms of the underworld? Shapeshifter lords from the void realms?” Steven felt his scalp tingle at the news. Why would Shapeshifter lords appear in this world?

nAnd according to William, it wasn’t just one, but a group!

nWilliam thought for a moment and said, “Yes, these Shapeshifter lords can almost instantly kill Demi-God level Soulmancers. If we don’t impose restrictions and make them obey the law, they could easily cause social unrest.”

n“I…” Steven was at a loss for words.

nAble to kill Demi-God level Soulmancers?

nHow could they be restrained?

nSuch a statement could only be made by William. If anyone else said this, Steven would probably have told them to get lost!

nBut since William had said this, did that mean that those powerful Shapeshifter lords had already been subdued by William?

nThinking this, Steven was moved to tears. He felt fortunate that there was a powerhouse like William in this world,otherwise, facing such a situation, he wouldn’t know what to do.

nHearing Steven’s silence, William continued, “In the future, there might be other things from parallel dimensions or the Divine Realm coming to our world. We must establish a complete set of rules and regulations to restrict them.”

nThe collapse of three thousand parallel dimensions was likely the doing of that entity William had expelled from his body.

nAlthough it had only a fraction of William’s power, less than one ten-thousandth, its capacity for causing trouble was beyond the control of the beings in the Divine Realm.

nThe difference in strength was still too vast.

nWhen William expelled that entity years ago, he actually obliterated it as well, but over the years, it seemed to have regained consciousness and created this mess…

nCould it be that the entity William expelled was also immortal and indestructible?

nWilliam thought for a moment, if that was the case, then he would just have to wait until it gained a physical form again and then beat it up when there’s nothing else to do.

nSteven, hearing William speak this way, felt even more troubled.

nThe issue of recruiting apprentices for Soulmancer schools hadn’t been resolved yet, and balancing the relationships between the major Soulmancer organizations was already problematic.

nNow, William informed him that beings from other parallel dimensions and the Divine Realm would also appear in this world.

nWhat chaos would this world descend into?

n“Mr. Johnson, where are you now? Maybe I should come to you, and we can discuss this in detail.” Steven was extremely anxious.

nSuch a significant matter needed to be thoroughly discussed with William.

nHe wanted to ask William how powerful he really was so they could formulate a strategy.

nCould William really be the protector of humanity?

n“Not now, going to sleep, we’ll talk tomorrow,” William said, looking at the late hour.

nWhat more was there to discuss?

nHe still had to deliver coffee to Alice.
