Chapter 613 System loading failed!
Chapter 613 System loading failed!
Lucien had always held a great prejudice against William!
From the first time he met William, he thought William was just a pretty boy. Later, the girl Lucien liked, Alice, was taken away by William…
He saw William as a rival in love and hoped to outperform William in every aspect.
Thinking back on his conversations with William, Lucien would always end up infuriated.
Especially since his proudly claimed strength seemed negligible in front of William, like a weakling.
The powerful Ninefold Stellar Sanctuary magic array, a heritage of the Nostredame family, was nothing more than flipping through pages in front of William, who broke it effortlessly.
Because of these incidents, Lucien found it hard to feel any goodwill towards William.
And the events that just transpired made Lucien question his life and even led to the creation of an inner demon.
But in that moment, Lucien was moved by William.
He had been in the Divine Realm for a while, always in a state of captivity.
William’s arrival freed him from the underground prison, and most importantly, William gave him a chance to contact his family.
At that moment, he genuinely felt that William wasn’t so bad after all!
William, for his part, didn’t care about Lucien’s attitude or opinion towards him,it was utterly insignificant.
Just connecting his phone to the network was a trivial task for William, and he didn’t expect Lucien’s gratitude for it. .
“Grandma, don’t worry, I’m doing well. I’m traveling with a friend,” Lucien might truly be whipped in love, but he also deeply loved his family.
With the phone signal available, he connected a video call to his grandmother and even pointed the camera at William.
Friend?
Well, at least in the Divine Realm, William was somewhat of an acquaintance!
Lucien had also realized that William’s strength was far superior to his own. The fact that William hadn’t killed him despite his many offenses was quite generous.
William was not a man of mercy, a fact that Lucien could clearly see.
“Hello!” William was originally playing with his phone, but when Lucien pointed the camera at him, he still showed a warm and friendly smile.
Seeing William’s friendly face, reminiscent of a deity’s aura, Lucien’s grandmother believed that Lucien must have met an incredibly powerful friend.
“You must be very strong!” Lucien’s grandmother felt that this person’s power level must be very high, evident from his demeanor, “May I know your power level?”
William laughed, “Just at the Demi-God level, not particularly strong. Don’t worry, Lucien is improving quickly; he’s quite powerful now.”
“I want to thank you for taking care of my grandson,” Lucien’s grandmother expressed her gratitude to William through the phone screen.
Being at the Demi-God level was already considered very strong on Earth.
“No need to mention it. You talk to Lucien; I’m off to do some special training.”
William’s tone was quite pleasant, acting as Lucien’s friend for a moment, which reassured Lucien’s grandmother.
Lucien gave William a grateful look, then turned to chat with his grandmother through the camera.
Once the camera was away, the smile on William’s face froze, and he started playing a mobile game.
After Lucien reported his safety and hung up the call, he thanked William, “Thanks for that!”
William, engrossed in his mobile game, didn’t pay any attention to Lucien.
In the game, at least characters can die, and when encountering less skilled teammates, William wouldn’t go all out to win.
Lose!
This feeling, for him, was quite a novel experience.
Lucien watched William fully absorbed in gaming, his mouth twitching slightly.
Is this what someone calls special training?
Wondering if following his lead would also make one so strong?
It’s hard to judge what kind of person William is.
From a certain perspective, he seems heartless, yet he also appears quite easygoing…
Watching William play, Lucien faintly sensed that he seemed to blend into the natural surroundings.
Even sitting there playing a game, William seemed to harmonize with nature and the universe in a way.
Lucien’s power level was already not low, and he was more attuned to sensing this particular presence.
He, too, had the augmentation of Cosmic Entity power.
The “system” within him was something expelled by William.
Even if he couldn’t match William’s power, they had a common origin. From William’s words and actions, Lucien felt a resonance with nature, an innate wisdom and tranquility.
He had an epiphany!
In this moment, he actually had a realization!
Merely by watching William play a game and their simple interactions, his mental state underwent a qualitative change.
There was no malice in William’s actions of killing.
He wiped out many Shapeshifters without harboring any killing intent.
His actions were not driven by emotion.
As William had said before, even if he killed Odin, he wouldn’t feel any guilt.
It’s not that he was ruthless,rather, it seemed difficult for anything to affect his emotions.
Even if Odin were respectful towards William, if killed, then killed he was.
One moment William’s gaze could immobilize Lucien, and the next, he connected Lucien’s phone signal and conversed amiably with Lucien’s grandmother.
This must be the state of being “freely self-sufficient”!
Lucien had been conflicted about whether to embark on a path of killing.
He was influenced by the system and affected by William’s words, even to the point of developing an inner demon!
But at this moment, his mental state was influenced by William.
Everything seemed less significant!
Does the choice to embark on a path of killing matter?
Does the system’s mysterious intent matter?
Influenced by the unique power emanating from William, Lucien entered a state of unconsciousness.
Unaware to himself, he sat down, entered a meditative state, and began to absorb the black energy essence that William had expelled.
William, engrossed in his game and having just destroyed the opponent’s crystal base in less than twenty minutes, sensed a change in Lucien’s aura.
He couldn’t help but be surprised.
Could this kid really be one in a million, a true genius?
To absorb that entity he had expelled.
Ha!?
If this continues, could Lucien truly come to dominate that force?
“System loading failed!”
“Warning! Please cease all unauthorized actions immediately!”
“System reloading!”
“Warning! System loading failed!”
…
Lucien’s mind was filled with the system’s repeated alerts.
William also heard the system’s voice and couldn’t help but laugh.
My goodness!
What on earth did Lucien do?
To actually make that entity he expelled fall apart?
No, no, no!
The system within Lucien’s consciousness is only a small part of that entity. Its greater power still resides with the Cosmic Entity. However, this turn of events seems to have disrupted some plans.
William’s eyes narrowed slightly. If Lucien absorbs the power of the “system” within him, and then kills Elric, wouldn’t all the plans of the entity he expelled end up paving the way for someone else?
Wouldn’t the entity’s plan to be reborn through Lucien’s body be thwarted?
Doing such mischief, William found quite enjoyable!
To gather the strength of beings from three thousand parallel dimensions to mold a new body, only to create a being that cannot be controlled…
William felt a bit of sympathy for that entity he expelled. Could it really have been its doing?
That seems a bit too foolish!
But then again, he quite enjoys witnessing such developments!
