nWilliam arrived at the volcanic crater where Alice had been practicing levitation and found that her condition today was significantly better.

nAfter yesterday’s practical experience, Alice had visibly changed, putting more effort into her special training to enhance her strength.

nWhen William arrived, she was attempting more elaborate aerial flips, a feat requiring immense courage for someone who feared heights.

nIsn’t improving one’s strength all about constantly surpassing oneself, overcoming inner fears, and becoming stronger?

nWilliam had always thought Alice lacked talent, even considering her somewhat foolish.

nBut that depended on the comparison.

nMainly, she had been lazy before.

nAfter going through so much, she had started to change.

nWilliam stood near the volcanic crater, and Lucien was nearby too.

n“What’s the matter? Still can’t get over my wife?” William appeared right next to Lucien.

nLucien was taken aback upon seeing William.

nHe hadn’t noticed when William had appeared beside him.

n“Alice is your wife now? Don’t think I don’t know you tricked me last time!” Lucien was not ready to give up, aware of William’s formidable power, but he insisted, “Unless you kill me, I won’t stop pursuing Alice.”

nWilliam laughed, “Killing you would be too easy.”

nThis statement caused Lucien’s face to fluctuate between red and white.

nHe had always been the pride of his family, the heir to the Nostredame family, and his personal strength was among the best of the younger generation of Soulmancers.

nToo easy to kill him?!

nProbably only William could say something like that.

nDuring the incident at Cozy Book Haven, Lucien had already felt William’s power; even now, he still felt the oppressive aura William exuded.

n“I know you’re strong, but you should know that justice will eventually triumph over evil, and you will die one day!” Lucien also had a system that marked William as a great demon lord.

nIn Lucien’s eyes, being designated as a great demon lord by the system meant William must be a bloodstained executioner.

nKilling William would mean ridding the world of a great menace!

n“Justice will eventually triumph over evil?” William laughed, “What is justice, and what is evil? I’m curious, how have I become the embodiment of evil?”

nLucien also paused in surprise.

nLogically, those who harm the world are considered malevolent, but what exactly had William done to harm the world?

n“You don’t need to explain. Even though I don’t know what evil deeds you’ve committed, I’ll keep a close watch on you.” Lucien simply believed that the system must be correct.

nRecently, he had also followed the system’s prompts to kill some people, all of whom were wicked to the core.

nMoreover, those were just minor tasks. As a great demon lord, William, with such immense power, must have committed countless heinous acts.

nAt that moment, the system in Lucien’s mind said, “William once slaughtered billions of beings. If the host kills him, you will directly achieve Creator Deity-level strength.”

nBillions of beings?

nLucien was utterly shocked.

nPreviously, the system had instructed him to kill William and identified William as a great demon lord, but it hadn’t informed him of William’s specific crimes.

nSlaughtering billions of beings – what does that imply?

nDestroying a whole world?

nAt this point, William said, “Your system isn’t wrong. I did obliterate billions of lives. Are you planning to make a move against me?”

n“You can hear what the system says to me?” Lucien was utterly astounded that William could hear the system’s voice.

nThis was outrageous.

nWilliam spoke disdainfully, “Is it that hard? Just a broken system.” 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝑜𝑚

n“You can hear what the system says to me?”

nA broken system?

nLucien had completed numerous tasks under the guidance of

nthis system.

nAfter completing these tasks, he received corresponding

nrewards, and now he had achieved Quasi-Deity-level strength.

nAdvancing from an intermediate Soulmancer to a Demi-God

nlevel, and then to a Quasi-Deity level, a normal Soulmancer

nwould typically need thousands of years.

nBut with the system, his power soared incredibly. In just over a

nmonth, such breakthroughs were nothing short of miraculous.

nEven just basking in the sun would inexplicably boost his

nstrength level.

nThe power of the system was thus evident.

nIt could be said that those who possessed the system were

nchosen ones.

nYet William referred to it as just a broken system?

nHow powerful must William be?

n“I heard you. Are you planning to kill me now?” William looked at

nLucien with a smile.

nIf Lucien said he intended to kill William, William wouldn’t mind

neradicating him on the spot.

nHe had given Lucien a chance before.

nLucien frowned deeply and after a long silence, said, “I think if I

ntried, I would die.”

n“I’m not your match yet.” Lucien, as a Soulmancer who had

nstarted learning witchcraft and enhancing his body by soaking

nin herbal baths, had greatly increased his strength level. Yet, his

nintuition told him he was no match for William.

nWilliam rolled his eyes and said, “Then you’d better leave now!”

nAll this talk and no action, why was he still standing there?

nLucien hesitated for a moment and asked, “You’re not going to

nkill me?”

nWilliam couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you want to die that badly?”

n“You’ll regret not killing me,” Lucien said coldly, staring at

nWilliam. “I will become your greatest enemy!”

nWilliam responded indifferently, “To tell me such a thing before

nyou’ve even become my greatest enemy clearly shows there’s

na problem with your intelligence. I can’t be bothered to kill you!”

nLucien solemnly said, “I think by saying this, you’ll actually not

nkill me!”

n“Then you’re quite clever!” William laughed. “Now get out of

nhere! If you’re still in my sight after ten seconds, you’re dead.”

nAfter William spoke, Lucien immediately took off running and

ndisappeared from sight.

nWas Lucien foolish?

nWilliam didn’t think so.

nOr rather, Lucien’s intuition wasn’t wrong.

nHe made a wise choice.

nWilliam didn’t feel like taking action right now. He wanted to let

nthings take their natural course.

nWhen there was only one of the hundred “Chosen Ones” left,

nthe entity expelled from his body would most likely seek to

nreincarnate using that person’s body.

nBut as for who would be the last one standing, and whether

nthat person would still retain their own consciousness, William

nwasn’t too clear on that.

nLet Lucien develop slowly.

nIt really wasn’t interesting to kill someone with such weak

nstrength.

nAlice continued her intensive training at the volcanic crater

nuntil around 12 noon before coming down from the air.

nWilliam had noticed Alice’s progress. In just one day, she had

nsignificantly improved. In a month, she should be able to fly in

nthe air proficiently and even engage in aerial combat.

n“How about that? Not bad, right?” Alice said with a laugh,

nhugging William’s arm as she landed.

nShe hoped William would praise her, as that would make her

nhappier than anything else.

n“Not bad at all,” William said, looking up at the sky. “You’re

nalready so powerful. You should be able to protect yourself

nfrom now on.”

nAs he looked up, the states of three thousand parallel

ndimensions were all within his view.

nThe collapse of one parallel dimension the day before was just

nthe beginning.
