Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 398 Little friend, could you repeat what you just said?

“You’re going up to the cliff edge? And you’re leaving me here?”

Alice was on the verge of a meltdown!

This is truly your way of doing things, my dear William!

Showing not the slightest bit of gentleness or consideration towards women.

William nodded, saying, “This place is quite nice, very quiet, perfect for you to focus on enhancing your strength…”

Nice? What do you mean nice?

How can you call this place good?

There’s no bathtub, no coffee, it looks like there’s no signal, let alone charging a phone.

Hasn’t there been an experiment on how long modern people can last without electronic devices?

Alice found herself inexplicably part of this experiment.

“I don’t want to enhance my strength in a place like this!” Alice pouted and glared at William, protesting vehemently!

William’s smile didn’t diminish as he said, “I didn’t discuss it with you. If you can, find your own way up!”

“Ah! I’m going crazy!” Alice cried, clutching her head.

She really was going insane!

She must have been out of her mind to follow William to such an “interesting” place.

William solemnly said, “Making you jump was to train your courage! You knew jumping wouldn’t harm you, yet you hesitated. Do you think that’s okay?”

“What do you mean ‘Knowing that jumping wouldn’t cause any harm’?” Alice was exasperated by William’s theory. Such a high cliff, and he says ‘knowing’…

“Are you not fine now?” William chuckled. “Having you enhance your strength here is to train your patience, temper your character. Others seek secluded places to study hard and improve themselves, an experience that often takes decades or even a century. I’m just asking you to stay here for a while, absorbing the residual energy of this place. Is it really that difficult?”

Alice remained dissatisfied, sulking as she asked, “How long exactly is ‘a while’? I can’t possibly stay in this canyon for five or ten years, can I?”

William pondered for a moment before replying, “That depends on your own ability to comprehend and learn.”

Alice frowned, “What does that mean?”

“It means you need to find materials nearby, refine a thousand legendary pills, and learn to fly in the air. Once you achieve that, you can naturally return.”

“A thousand legendary pills?!” Alice’s face showed a blank expression, “Are you planning to have me concoct a huge bag of them as snacks for you?”

Suddenly, William flicked her forehead and said expressionlessly, “If you really can make a big bag, I wouldn’t mind trying them. I’m sure I can handle them.”

“Don’t flick my forehead! If you keep doing this, I might really become stupid.” Alice, rubbing her head in pain, felt tears welling up in her eyes.

She regretted it!

She really did regret it!

From the beginning, she should not have chosen William as her mentor.

If she hadn’t chosen William as her mentor, she wouldn’t have fallen for this detestable old man.

If only…

“Stop daydreaming! Eat up. If you need any daily necessities, I can bring them down for you. As for other things, don’t think too much about it.” Seeing Alice’s disappointed face, William knew what she was thinking and directly interrupted her thoughts.

Alice quickly accepted the reality and said, counting on her fingers, “Bring down my laptop, there’s no internet here, download some good TV shows for me, charge it every day…”

Before she could finish counting on her fingers, she noticed William’s look that clearly said he wouldn’t help her, and her voice faded: “Then come and accompany me at night, you know I’m afraid of the dark…”

William smiled reluctantly, making it clear that this was impossible.

“You won’t even come to accompany me, and you’re okay leaving me alone in this eerie place?” Alice tried to use typical girlish tactics – whining, acting coquettishly, and even pretending to be in despair, but she quickly realized that these tricks were absolutely useless on William.

After all, he was the man who could push her off a thousand-foot cliff.

“Can you at least bring me a cup of coffee every day? I want an iced caramel macchiato with whipped cream.” Alice paused, then said in a low voice, “I just want to see you, that’s all.”

William nodded and said, “As for coffee, you can choose a different flavor every day.”

He certainly understood the thoughts of a girl.

Alice finally relaxed, taking William’s words as an agreement.

She was really afraid that William would refuse even this request.

With the coffee matter settled, Alice’s other requests were quite normal.

Just some daily necessities.

After noting them down, William flew up, leaving Alice alone at the bottom of the cliff.

Although they had previously agreed to go to the Soulmancer school together, William felt that since he knew those basic knowledge, he could just take some time later to teach Alice. There was no need for both of them to attend together.

Since Alice was chosen by the Cosmic Entity, he thought it best to let her develop on her own, which should yield good results.

As for why the Cosmic Entity chose Alice, he didn’t mind at all.

As long as the Cosmic Entity was a conscious entity, he was not afraid.

After all, having lived so many years, if the Cosmic Entity was truly powerful enough to kill him, it probably would have done so already.

Playing such a game now just proves that the Cosmic Entity cannot confront him directly.

Everything that needs to resort to plots or such calculations is because their strength is not strong enough.

Like William, he never plays these fancy tricks.

If he really dislikes something, he just directly eliminates it. Why bother with the hassle?

It’s only because he currently can’t track the Cosmic Entity’s presence. If he could, he would definitely capture it for thorough research.

After William left, Luna and Erebus were still standing there in the distance.

“Alice? Why didn’t she come up with you?” Luna, who still had a favorable impression of William, asked politely.

William replied, “She won’t be coming up for the time being. For the next while, you two will stay with me. Whoever I tell you to attack, you attack. Got it?”

Erebus looked at William with a cold gaze and snorted, “Who do you think you are? If it weren’t for Alice’s sake, I would have slapped you to death with one hit.”

As soon as Erebus uttered those words, he immediately felt the atmosphere turn odd.

It was as if the word “danger” had materialized above his forehead.

Luna’s heart also started thumping uncontrollably.

What exactly was happening?

William slowly extended his hand, placing his palm on Erebus’s head, gently stroked it, and said with a pleasant demeanor, “Little friend, could you repeat what you just said?”

Erebus’s face turned pale.

Logically, he should have dodged William’s hand reaching for his head.

But he found himself completely immobilized.

William’s palm on his head seemed to have seized control of his life.

Luna also looked at William with a face full of terror.

She had always felt a strange familiarity with William, and now she realized what this feeling was all about.

“Father God!”?Luna exclaimed subconsciously as she stared at William, observing the energy emanating from him. This sense of familiarity seemed to make her somewhat incredulous.

William slowly withdrew his hand, allowing Erebus to heave a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted, but now his gaze towards William had completely changed.

William was not a person who reveled in killing, especially not towards these children. He actually quite liked them, otherwise, he wouldn’t have adopted Anthony Carter and others in the past.

This might also be because he had lived for a billion years and had no children of his own.
