Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 549 The first battle

Hearing Apollo say this, William actually found it quite agreeable.

He had formed a team for Alice, but it was more out of a whim and for fun.

It wasn’t that he insisted Alice must rescue Loki now and then march from Blizzard City to the Sanctum of the Holy Light.

The main point was, with Alice’s current Mortal Deity level strength, if she really tried to lead a team to attack the Sanctum of the Holy Light, it would likely be over before it even began.

To William, even high-ranking god-kings were no challenge, but for Alice at this moment, just any Shapeshifters lord popping up could probably make her cry.

He brought Alice to the Divine Realm mainly to make her stronger.

The various tests from District 1 to District 28 should also help her improve.

After understanding William’s intentions, Apollo directly took them to the front gate of the Passage Approval Bureau.

“Alice, you just need to go in now and win a challenge against a Guardian Deity level individual,” Apollo told William, “William, the identity token you prepared for Alice is fine, right?”

William replied, “No problem, everything’s ready.”

The token he had provided Alice was a replica he made himself, indistinguishable from the real thing, with identity information that could be altered at will. This was just a matter of his will.

“Let’s go in together!” William kept Alice’s identity as a disciple of the sea god Poseidon, only her strength was adjusted to Guardian Deity level.

After all, no one could see through Alice’s actual strength.

Alice’s personal combat power was already considered extraordinary against the ordinary deities of the Divine Realm.

Back on Earth, she was merely at the advanced Soulmancer level, but after unlocking the first seal of the Sword of Soulbreaker, she could directly kill angels with Nature Deity level strength.

Although the process was perilous, facing a Guardian Deity level opponent now would not be a problem for her.

William and Alice were new faces, but Apollo was well-known throughout the entire Divine Realm. When he handed out his identity token, the guards at the Passage Approval Bureau respectfully welcomed them inside.

Upon hearing of Apollo’s visit, Director Watson of the District 1 Passage Approval Bureau personally came out to greet him.

Director Watson, merely an Elemental Deity level minor deity, knew that Apollo had been a renowned Creator Deity for tens of thousands of years. Now, he was a Supreme Deity and the famous Sun God, son of Zeus, with a vast chasm in power and status between them.

“What brings the esteemed Sun God, Lord Apollo, to this humble place of mine?” Director Watson said with a sycophantic smile, thinking that if he could establish some connection with Apollo, his future could soar.

Apollo, with his hands behind his back, stated gravely, “My sister is new to the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods and wishes to obtain a pass from you.”

“A trivial matter, a trivial matter indeed. I will provide the pass immediately,” Director Watson didn’t even think twice. What was Apollo’s status, after all?

Did he dare to delay when asked for a pass?

“Let’s follow the rules. My sister needs to challenge a Guardian Deity level fighter, doesn’t she?” Apollo frowned, adding, “There’s no need for favoritism, just arrange it.”

“A Guardian Deity level minor deity… how could they be worthy of facing this distinguished goddess? I’ll just give the pass to the goddess. There’s no need to waste time,” Director Watson felt a bit frightened by Apollo’s words.

What sort of challenger could a Guardian Deity level be in front of Apollo?

Apollo’s sister, surely a member of the Divine Alliance and a disciple of the sea god Poseidon, to have her compete against a Guardian Deity level minor deity seemed too high an honor for the Guardian Deity.

Director Watson noticed Alice, and his Elemental Deity level strength couldn’t discern Alice’s strength level, which was proof enough that Alice’s strength must be higher than his.

Alright, a disciple of the sea god Poseidon, if her strength level was lower than his, wouldn’t that imply high-ranking god-kings were incompetent at teaching their disciples?

William said coldly, “No need for idle talk, just arrange it.”

Hearing this, Director Watson had no choice but to summon a Guardian Deity with whom he had a poor relationship to come and face certain defeat.

Wasn’t this a joke?

A Guardian Deity level strength, facing a disciple of the sea god Poseidon, would they be instantly defeated?

Alice realized then that the institutions of the Divine Realm could also be influenced by connections, and in fact, just a word from Apollo could probably take her directly to District 28.

But why would William let her pass so easily?

Soon after, a middle-aged man wielding a divine sword stood in confrontation with Alice.

William, watching from the side, said to Director Watson, “Could you please lend her a sword?”

“Lend a sword? Of course, no problem!” Director Watson had no objections. Whatever the deity says, goes. Don’t ask too many questions.

William certainly wouldn’t allow Alice to use the Sword of Soulbreaker to bully her opponent.

With the Sword of Soulbreaker drawn, the opposing warrior wouldn’t even be able to unsheathe his sword. What would be the point of fighting?

Unfortunately, having an unfair advantage was just too strong.

Holding the divine sword passed to her by Director Watson, Alice now clearly realized how different these swords were from the Sword of Soulbreaker.

The Sword of Soulbreaker had become her exclusive divine artifact, and now, using another sword for combat felt unfamiliar.

The swordsman arranged by Director Watson watched Alice warily, realizing that he couldn’t discern the strength of the woman opposite him.

With two mysterious and powerful individuals standing beside her, it was clear this woman had significant backing.

Alice quickly calmed down, knowing the opponent was actually stronger than her. She drew her sword to attack, aiming to seize the initiative.

Her strength level might not be high, but the sword techniques she had learned were among the best in the world. .

Her sword thrust dazzled her opponent, but without the Sword of Soulbreaker’s power boost, the attack wasn’t as fearsome as before.

“Boom!”

The warrior was sent flying by her strike, coughing up blood, but quickly realized Alice’s thrust wasn’t as terrifying as anticipated and rushed to counterattack.

Relying on her terrifying secret sword technique and the augmentation from her Cosmic Entity’s holy aura, Alice made rapid progress during the fight, quickly adapting to the rhythm.

After more than half an hour of fighting, Alice barely won with a single move, winning the match through sheer difficulty.

“Phew!” Alice was exhausted after the fight, but thanks to the abundant energy in the Divine Realm, her recovery was swift. Her strength also grew rapidly from the battle, an incredibly remarkable pace.

Of course, this was partly because the secret techniques William taught her were so powerful, and with the augmentation from her Cosmic Entity’s holy aura, it was like having cheats enabled. Her rapid progress was within William’s expectations.

William had always thought Alice was slow to catch on, but her insight wasn’t really that bad. Her ability to grasp the earth-

shattering sword technique from Delmar was proof of her insight; it’s just that William had seen too many geniuses.

Geniuses don’t necessarily become true powerhouses. Sometimes, the true strong ones might not have the highest insight, but what matters is their ability to survive long enough.
