n511 I’ve found you!

nGaren was completely unaware of how foolish the words he had just spoken were.

nWilliam glanced at Alice and said, “Alice, draw your sword first.”

nAlice seemed to understand William’s intention, and with a slight raise of her hand, the Sword of Soulbreaker landed in her grasp.

nThe Sword of Soulbreaker, now devoid of William’s illusion, felt ancient and desolate from the moment it was held, its aura from the primordial era spreading out.

nUnder the Sword of Soulbreaker, all other divine swords paled in comparison.

nBefore Alice even drew her sword, Garen’s soul began to tremble.

nOh, damn!

nThat familiar sensation again!

nGaren found himself unable to use his secret sword technique.

nWant to release energy?

nWant to draw your sword?

nImpossible!

nAfter Alice broke the first seal of the Sword of Soulbreaker, she had slain an archangel.

nThough that archangel wasn’t at its peak, it still possessed the strength of a Destroyer Deity level.

nGaren, just stepping into the Quasi-Deity level, equivalent to a Mortal Deity level in the Divine Realm, really didn’t stand a chance in front of the Sword of Soulbreaker.

nPerhaps there’s a huge gap in strength levels between Garen and Alice, but Alice’s divine gear is like a game player who recharged a billion dollars, with the officials giving her a cheat, a low-level account wielding a weapon that deals ten billion in true damage, instantly killing anyone on sight.

nGaren is just a regular player, laboriously leveling up through monster battles, finally reaching the top ten of the server, only to be completely blinded by a newcomer’s equipment, nearly reaching the point of rage quitting by pulling the plug.

n“Alright! Alice, no need to draw your sword!”

nGaren, half amused and half resigned, finally understood why William had suggested they use identical wooden swords.

nThe power of the sword in Alice’s hand was too game-breaking. If Alice were to use that sword in their contest, he figured he’d be instantly defeated again! 𝑖𝘦𝑎.𝗇t

nAlice obediently sheathed her sword, ready for a fair contest with Garen.

nOn the back mountain of the Emerald Lion Guild.

nAlice and Garen each held a wooden sword.

nThe two stood off for about ten minutes, with William sitting on a nearby bluestone, nearly falling asleep from the inactivity.

nStrictly speaking, both had learned some secret sword techniques from William.

nIt’s just that Garen’s natural talent in swordsmanship far surpasses Alice’s.

nIf Alice were to spar in swordsmanship with William, it would be too profound, and she probably wouldn’t learn much. However, sparring with Garen should enable her to gain some insights.

nAfter an hour, William pulled out his phone and continued watching the movie he hadn’t finished from the day before, with the volume turned up high.

n“Oh, when I saw Thanos fighting Hulk…”

nBoth Alice and Garen frowned upon hearing this sound.

nGaren was somewhat wary of Alice’s power but knew he couldn’t just stand there indefinitely without attacking, so he made the first move.

nA sword thrust forward, leaving only a shadow in the air.

nAlice’s understanding of swordsmanship is profound,Garen’s swift strike was fast but not enough to defeat her instantly.

nShe quickly twisted her body, swinging her sword to block, barely managing to parry the first strike.

nClearly, Garen had not used his full strength.

nHe was also afraid of really injuring Alice.

nFor someone at the advanced Soulmancer level to block his first strike was already quite an achievement.

nWilliam didn’t even glance at their fight. Garen, after all, was a legendary warrior, his swordsmanship truly seasoned. After a few moves, Alice was left only able to defend, without any ability to counterattack.

nGaren obviously held back, ensuring not to make any of his strikes lethal, treating it truly as a sparring match.

n“I know you can pick it up…”

nWilliam was engrossed in his movie, only sparing Alice and Garen a glance from the corner of his eye. Alice had been through quite a few real battles recently, but compared to a true swordsmanship elite, the gap was still significant.

n“Garen, if you can kill her, I’ll teach you a complete set of sword techniques!” William said before continuing to watch his movie.

n“Hmm?” A sharp light flashed in Garen’s eyes.

nKill Alice?

nDid William say that?

nCould it be that William got tired of her and then wanted to kill Alice to get a new girlfriend?

nConsidering William’s identity, it seemed quite possible.

nFor such a powerful being, what’s so strange about changing women?

nAlice couldn’t help but be stunned.

nReally?!

nCould this be happening?

nWas William actually deceiving her, intending to have Garen kill her?

nAlice quickly dismissed this thought. After all, she had the Sword of Soulbreaker in hand. If things got serious, she wasn’t afraid of Garen.

nIt was obvious that William wanted Garen to fight her seriously.

nBut even when Garen deliberately goes easy on her, she struggles to win. How could she possibly compete if he were serious?

nGaren considered the possibility but didn’t care much at that moment. His wooden sword, enveloped in energy and shining with a golden glow, thrust out again.

nThis strike employed the secret sword technique taught by William, using a secret art to completely block Alice’s energy supply.

nAlice felt a chill run down her spine, her heart tightened, and a strong sense of crisis made her hairs stand on end, almost losing her ability to think.

nJust then, a flash of purple light passed through her eyes, and suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell from the clear sky, accurately striking Garen’s sword, forcefully breaking Garen’s secret sword technique and giving Alice a moment to breathe.

nAlice took this opportunity to twist her body and dodge the deadly strike.

n“I’m still worthy!”

nWilliam’s phone continued to play the movie, and he lifted his eyelids to glance at Alice.

nIndeed, when Alice’s life was in danger, the Cosmic Entity would intervene. He slowly looked up, directly capturing that fleeting presence.

nHah!

nCosmic Entity?!

nSaying that a Cosmic Entity has no emotions, no consciousness.

nHow is that possible?

nIf it truly lacked consciousness and emotions, how could it possibly intervene to help when Alice is threatened?

nThe cosmic rules set by the Cosmic Entity?

nAfter capturing that fleeting essence, William disappeared from the spot.

nIn the vast, dark quiet of the universe, William closed his eyes, feeling the energy of the surrounding Cosmic Entities.

nThe Cosmic Entity seemed omnipresent, those essences like strings holding up puppets, with billions of beings tethered by these strings.

nAlice, being a Chosen One, had one such string connected to the halo of divine light swirling within her subconscious.

nAll things have their origin, and William, having spent days researching the pseudo “Chosen Ones” and having a true Chosen One by his side, was more than familiar with the essence of the Cosmic Entity’s energy.

nStanding in the boundless cosmos, his expression was uncharacteristically serious.

nThe powers of time, space, and cosmic laws…

nThe growth of all things, everything encompassed within his power.

n“I’ve found you!” William suddenly opened his eyes, surrounded by the unique remnants of his energy.

nThis was probably his first time exerting his full strength. With William at the center, planets within tens of thousands of light-years perished, giving birth to numerous black holes. The lines connecting these cosmic beings to the Cosmic Entity were gathered together by him, and he finally found the source of these connections.
