nPeople often think of the Divine Realm symbolizes a sacred, beautiful, peaceful, and happy holy land, a place of beauty, vastness, and extreme delight, filled with wonderful music and magical flora everywhere.

nHowever, this is similar to the misconception some people have that life elsewhere is always better than their own environment.

nWhen the Shapeshifter Lords journeyed from the Nether Void to the Divine Realm for conquest, they were almost always engaged in battles.

nThe Divine Realm is teeming with powerful beings; even a fight between two of them could shatter heavens and fracture the earth.

nThose slightly weaker could perish instantly if caught in the crossfire.

nThis is why, when facing challenges, they either choose to fight to the death or surrender completely.

nThey are mostly of the brute force kind.

nIn their belief system, there’s a simple principle: respect the strong!

nNow, it’s clear that William is overwhelmingly powerful, so they have no choice but to unconditionally obey his words.

nOn the way to the base, Steven had already discussed with William and roughly organized a plan for handling these Shapeshifter Lords.

nFirst, they need to be familiarized with this society. Teaching them how to use smartphones is just the first step. They also need to learn the laws and be exposed to some cultural knowledge of this world.

nDuring their attempt to learn smartphone use, all the Shapeshifter Lords, except Thanarok, inevitably ended up crushing their phones to bits…

nIt’s an unavoidable issue, given their immense strength, and these lords are not known for their delicacy in handling things.

nThe smartphone screens simply couldn’t withstand their touch.

nSeeing the phones explode, Steven couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

n“For the first phone, consider it a gift from me, but I really can’t afford to give you a second one,” Steven said with a sly grin, resembling a cunning fox. “A replacement costs 1500 dollars each. If you’re willing to work here, with a monthly salary of 5000 dollars, you can quickly repay it. Moreover, our unit provides food and accommodation.”

nAssimilation!

nIt’s essential to assimilate these Shapeshifter Lords, even to make them fall in love with this land.

n“Can we choose not to have smartphones?” one of the Shapeshifter Lords smartly asked, voicing his inner dilemma.

nIf they have to use smartphones, they need to work there,without them, there wouldn’t be such a need.

nSteven squinted with a smile, “Of course, you can choose not to have a smartphone. However… if you don’t have one, Mr. Johnson might not be able to contact you when he needs you. Personally, I suggest you keep one.” 𝑖𝘦𝑎.𝗇t

nMentioning William, the Shapeshifter Lords immediately had no more objections.

nThis situation had a hint of coercion.

nEssentially, it meant: you can choose not to have a smartphone, but if William can’t find you when he needs you, you’ll bear the consequences.

nTo put it bluntly, if you don’t have a smartphone, William might just eliminate you…

nBack in the Nether Void, these Shapeshifter Lords were rulers in their own right, killing anyone who displeased them. When have they ever suffered such indignity?

nBeing coerced by a mere human!

nThe indignity…

nThinking about what William did the day before, the Shapeshifter Lords felt as if they were being watched intently.

nIt was as if William was standing right behind them, his terrifying shadow looming over. .

nBut what could they do? They had to swallow their pride for the sake of survival.

nAfter much deliberation, they decided their lives were more important.

nSubsequently, Steven had several boxes of new smartphones brought in.

n“Bang!”

n“Bang!”

n“Bang!”

n…

nThe meeting room was filled with continuous explosions.

nThe expressions on the faces of the Shapeshifter Lords were indescribably comical.

n1500 dollars for one, 3000 dollars for two…

nSteven wasn’t bothered by the phones being destroyed. He had brought several boxes, totaling five hundred phones.

nLet them break them!

nThe more they break, the better!

n“Rest assured, when you work for our organization, it’s mostly about learning. We provide food and accommodation, don’t require much from you, and even pay you 5000 dollars a month.”

nSteven didn’t intend to truly exploit these Shapeshifter Lords using William’s influence.

nHe felt that if he did so, William might be displeased.

nBut these Shapeshifter Lords were indeed somewhat dangerous. If left unchecked outside, even if they harbored no ill intentions, their actions could still inadvertently harm innocents.

nIt was better to keep them close at hand initially, teaching them about following laws and regulations.

nThe Shapeshifter Lords had no substantial objections to this arrangement, mainly because they didn’t dare to object.

nThey carefully learned how to use smartphones.

nWhile Steven was managing things orderly, William was also busy.

nNow that the 13th Bureau was openly visible to the public, there was no longer a need to conceal its training base at CLOUD9.

n“William, you’re here! Let me show you the latest research results.”

nUpon William’s arrival at the base, Jhin Lopez immediately set his sights on him.

nAmong all the staff at the 13th Bureau, Jhin was particularly interested in William.

nNot for anything else, but because William had previously impressively utilized his 096 combat armor, proving the value of Jhin’s research.

nSurprisingly, William had even operated it with divine-like computer skills.

nJhin believed that William was the person he had been looking for.

nWilliam was equally interested in modern technology. As Jhin called him over, he approached with great enthusiasm.

n“The previous approach of integrating chips into the eyes of beasts indeed had significant flaws. Now, I’ve transplanted the chips into their hearts using machinery, and as you suggested, formed a 3D image for remote control via satellite,” Jhin explained excitedly. “We tested it a few days ago. Even Zoey couldn’t break through its defenses, and that wasn’t even with your control…”

n“If you were to control it, it would be simply invincible!” Jhin exclaimed excitedly, his eyes shining as he looked at William. “Do you want to give it a try?”

nWilliam looked at the large screen in front of him, lost in thought.

nThese beasts, not originally from this world, were undoubtedly far stronger than any Soulmancer of this world.

nImplanting chips into the hearts of these beasts, if controlled properly, could play havoc with mid-level Soulmancers as if it were merely a game.

n“Let’s give it a try,” William said. “But, let’s change the opponent!”

nNarrowing his eyes slightly, William added, “Just wait!”

nHe then walked into the reception room and pointed at the Shapeshifter Lord who had first crushed the phone, saying, “You! Come out for a moment!”

nThis Shapeshifter Lord, who had just received his fourth phone, was carefully touching and operating it. He managed to press it five or six times without damaging it, and a faint smile began to appear on his lips.

nHowever, upon hearing William’s call, his fingers trembled.

n“Bang!”

nAnother explosion!

nAnd then a series of explosions followed.

nWilliam’s shout had startled the other Shapeshifter Lords as well.

nSteven, observing this scene, couldn’t help but smile silently.

nLet them explode!

nThe more they explode, the longer they’ll stay.

nHe didn’t realize, however, how complicated and chaotic the feelings of the Shapeshifter lord pointed out by William were at that moment.
