Chapter 839 Yes! This is my wish!
William did indeed lay his hands on Zeus, but it was only to firmly pinch his cheek.
It was like an adult dealing with a mischievous child, William pinched Zeus’s cheek with force.
Rhadamanthus stood there, stunned. This was Zeus, after all.
But then he thought about it, and Mr. Johnson pinching Zeus’s cheek didn’t seem like such a big deal.
Caught by surprise, Zeus didn’t react immediately, standing frozen on the spot.
As the king of gods, it had been many years since anyone dared to touch him.
Yet, William’s action didn’t anger him,instead, it brought a rare sense of closeness.
“Master…” Zeus softly called out.
It was as if he was back in his younger days when he did something wrong, William would pinch his cheek instead of scolding him, and after the incident, he would even make him something delicious.
Those days by master’s side were the happiest times in Zeus’s 7 million years.
Back then, he didn’t have to worry about the welfare of the world or engage in any power plays. Life was simple and pure.
Even though he often got bullied by Poseidon, even if he ended up with a bruised face, a delicious meal awaited him after his tears dried…
“Learned how to lie, have you?”
William wasn’t angry about Zeus punishing Loki’s family because Zeus’s jurisdiction was vast. As the king of gods and the leader of the Divine Alliance, he had his own principles of conduct.
But when William called him for questioning, and he spoke nonsense, at best, it was lying,at worst, it was deceiving his own master.
“Master, it’s not… you asked me like that…” Zeus stammered.
“Speak properly! Show the dignity you had just now as the king of gods,” William confronted Zeus sternly, “Explain to me, the island clearly wasn’t burned by you, why did you say it was? Are you too full?”
Zeus meekly replied in a low voice, “I thought you were being partial. You’ve been in the Divine Realm for so long, and you always come to me for help.”
William frowned, “Nonsense, you’re now the king of gods, dealing with so many things every day, why would I bother you unnecessarily?”
“I… I’m not actually that busy, I always have time whenever you need me,” Zeus said softly, “Hades and the others are busy too, but you went to them, didn’t you?”
“Is Hades the same as you?” William said, “He’s just a guy with nothing to do, how can you compare yourself to him?”
“Don’t worry, I will manage my territory well, and handle the gods of the Divine Alliance properly, I won’t disappoint you.” In front of William, Zeus had none of the dignity of the king of gods, he was completely respectful.
“How you manage is your business, since things are clear now, you should go back to your duties,” William wasn’t displeased with Zeus, but considering that Zeus had a lot to handle, it seemed a bit wasteful to always spend time here.
Even the emperors in Earth’s history, unless they were utterly debauched, led busy lives. Some emperors managed only two to three hours of sleep a day, which is why many of them died young, even without any coups or rebellions, simply from overwork.
However, William believed that Zeus wouldn’t die young.
“Master, you don’t want to see me?” Zeus’s tone was truly like that of a neglected lover.
Alice, listening by the side, felt a bit jealous.
Couldn’t William hear it?
“It’s not about wanting to see you or not, do you understand?” William said, “Don’t you know how busy you are?”
“But…” Zeus hesitated.
Alice quickly interjected, “Zeus… the island wasn’t burned by you?”
Loki had calmed down by now, and even though Zeus had just admitted those words, he still believed William more.
Faced with Alice’s question, Zeus said, “The island truly wasn’t burned by my order.”
“Since that’s the case, and you haven’t seen your master for a long time, why don’t we all have a meal together before you go?” Alice smiled, “I’ve heard many stories about you on Earth and have great respect for you. Having a meal with you has always been one of my wishes.”
Zeus knew Alice was William’s woman, and her saying this now…
Seemed like she was helping him.
“Thank you, Miss Alice.” Zeus didn’t utter any insincere words,he understood Alice’s intent.
He hadn’t asked Alice for anything, yet she was offering her help.
“You’re not busy?” William asked again.
Zeus shook his head.
Right now, the Thunder Sanctum’s great hall was probably in uproar, but what did that haveto do with him? Did he need to personally handle everything?
Let the council of gods argue it out and see what solutions they could come up with.
“Since you’re not busy, then stay and have a meal with us,” William said with a smile, then turned to Loki and suggested, “You might consider changing your wish.”
Loki looked confused.
If his home wasn’t burned by Zeus, then who was responsible?
Who should he seek revenge against now?
“Mr. Johnson, please tell me, who really burned down my home?” Loki’s eyes were red with emotion, his mood far from calm.
Zeus was thinking about having a meal with William, while at the same time, Loki was dealing with a deep-seated vendetta. How could he be in the mood to eat?
“Is this your wish?” William really felt that Loki wasn’t very clever.
Or perhaps he was blinded by his hatred. 𝐟𝐫eewe𝚘ve𝐥.c𝚘𝚖
At that moment, Alice asked, “William, can you restore the Maldives to its original state and revive the creatures of the island?”
Alice knew William was powerful, but she wasn’t sure if her request was something he could fulfill.
William nodded, “It’s not difficult.”
At this, Loki’s eyes lit up, “Mr. Johnson, then please restore it to its original state!”
Had he finally understood what he truly wanted?
Revenge?
No matter who the enemy was, even if he did get his revenge, what then?
Could his friends and family be brought back to life?
Normally, people would think that the dead cannot be revived, and restoring the island to its original state wasn’t a simple matter.
“Is this your wish?” William owed Loki a wish, and he just wanted to confirm if this was it. If so, he could proceed.
Loki nodded excitedly, “Yes! This is my wish!”
William’s eyes slightly closed, and the surroundings began to change dramatically. In just a moment, trees sprouted, corals reappeared, houses materialized out of thin air, and the island was filled with numerous birds. The calls of Loki’s family members reached Loki’s ears.
The island was restored, not just in physical form, but with life itself brought back, a rare feat that even in the realms of gods was considered a profound act of power. This not only fulfilled Loki’s revised wish but also demonstrated William’s immense capabilities, subtly reinforcing his status and benevolence in the eyes of all present.
