Chapter 412 I could catch a lion by its neck with one hand
What difference does it make to be a superpowered individual?
With great power comes great responsibility.
Some harbor grand ambitions, while others accept their ordinariness, content with a peaceful and mundane life.
William quite enjoyed the convenience and tranquility brought by technology.
He originally didn\'t want to get involved with Lernaeus coming into this world, but just as he sat down in the subway and took out a book to read quietly for a while, Lernaeus actually attempted to kill him from afar.
Most crucially, he tried to assault William\'s soul with his consciousness!
William sighed, lowered his head, and opened the book.
He was somewhat puzzled. How could this little serpent be so incomprehensible?
Seeking death!
Trying to assault his soul with consciousness, how ludicrous was that?
In the Bronx Zoo, under the watchful eyes of many Shapeshifter lords, Lernaeus, who was imposing just a moment ago, suddenly bulged his eyes and then slowly collapsed.
"Lord Lernaeus!" The Shapeshifter lords were utterly bewildered.
How could he just fall asleep like that?
Could it be that Lord Lernaeus suddenly went into hibernation?
The weather here wasn\'t even that cold.
What hibernation?
Lord Lernaeus isn\'t an ordinary snake.
But still...
What did it mean for him to suddenly collapse like this?
Could it be that Lord Lernaeus had some deeper meaning?
The powerful Shapeshifter lords dared not make any rash moves.
Until William, sitting on the subway, furrowed his brows, the Shapeshifter lords in the Bronx Zoo, except for Thanarok, suddenly felt their souls tremble and involuntarily reverted to their original forms.
However, their sizes were now reduced many times smaller than their original forms.
What should have been a group of menacingly large creatures turned adorably tiny.
For example, a fierce beast named Pyrorex, originally as large as a Tyrannosaurus Rex, with flames emanating from its body and fearsome interlocking teeth, had now shrunk to the size of an adult Golden Retriever. The flames on its body vanished, replaced by soft, fiery red fur.
Especially those big eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Seeing that all the fierce beasts around it had shrunk countless times in size, it was baffled.
It tried to use its special abilities, only to find that it couldn\'t muster any strength at all.
The other Shapeshifter lords experienced the same.
Looking around, they realized that apart from Thanarok, all the other Shapeshifter lords had transformed into cute animals.
All the Shapeshifter lords panicked.
What the hell was happening?
It\'s one thing to have their powers sealed, but even reverting to their original forms shouldn\'t result in this appearance!
They circled around Thanarok, wanting to demand what had happened.
What should have been hysterical roars, deafening in nature, turned into sounds resembling small pets cooing and seeking attention from their owners.
Absolutely insane!
Complete madness!
Were these sounds what these Shapeshifter lords, now turned into fierce beasts, supposed to make?
If word got out, what about their dignity?
Wait!
This wasn\'t the time to worry about dignity.
They came to this world and then collectively turned into this ridiculous state.
If they were to remain like this forever, what would he do?
Thanarok was completely dumbfounded.
Over twenty Shapeshifter lords, including a top-tier Shapeshifter lord with a powerful bloodline like Lernaeus, had all transformed in an instant.
How could he accept this?
This was even more terrifying than when they rushed into the Crimson Emissaries Guild and encountered a deity of witchcraft resurrected through dark magic!
After all, just a moment ago, they were planning to kill Moros\' avatar!
"Shapeshifter lords! I don\'t know what happened either!" Thanarok was in a state of panic; he couldn\'t even begin to imagine what had occurred.
The group of Shapeshifter lords continued to crowd around Thanarok, humming nonsensically.
"Can anyone tell me what exactly happened?" Thanarok looked up to the sky, his mind completely blown.
He had already realized that these Shapeshifter lords had lost all their powers and couldn\'t even maintain their massive beastly forms.
These were the reinforcements he had called for!
Buying a zoo, was he really going to end up taking care of these animals?
Thanarok, in the zoo, tears streaming down his face, watched the Shapeshifter lords who had turned into cute pets. Meanwhile, William, in a sparsely populated subway, read his book.
After all, he was taking Amy to see... big lions?
Yes!
He couldn\'t expose the child to bizarre and strange creatures.
William was very considerate.
Amy sat obediently next to William, not disturbing him as he read, but holding hands with Luna.
Luna was usually quite haughty. If this had been in the void realms of the underworld, apart from Erebus and a few other closely related Grand Lords of the Shapeshifters, no one else would dare touch her hand.
But when Amy reached for her hand, she didn\'t dare refuse!
She couldn\'t fathom this human child. What if she refused and Amy, in a fit of anger, plucked all her fur off? What then?
As the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
"Luna, have you ever seen a big lion?"
"A big lion??" Luna shook her head and said, "No, I haven\'t seen one."
She had seen many fierce beasts in the void realms of the underworld, but she had never seen a big lion.
Amy smiled proudly and said, "I haven\'t seen one either, but I\'ve heard stories about them!"
"…"
Luna looked at the proud smile on Amy\'s face, feeling confused herself.
If you haven\'t seen one, why are you so proud?
Laughing foolishly.
"This is a story my teacher told me!" Amy blinked her long eyelashes and said, "My teacher told me that lions are the kings of the forest, very powerful!" Amy\'s eyes sparkled with excitement, "But there\'s a little secret — it\'s said that the real wisdom of the lion comes from a clever cat. Cats are smart and witty, and they can teach lions many things, so you could say that the cat is the lion\'s teacher."
Luna didn\'t know how to respond, "What does that mean?"
"It means, lions are smaller than cats! I could catch a lion by its neck with one hand and lift it up," Amy said confidently, looking up at Luna, "If it comes at us, I\'ll protect you."
Luna didn\'t quite understand what a cat was, but from Amy\'s description, lions and cats seemed to be very powerful creatures.
She pondered silently, feeling that with Amy by her side, she might be safer.
Yes!
That must be it!
Understanding this key point, Luna said to Amy, "Thank you, Dian Dian."
William couldn\'t help asking, "Amy, which teacher told you this story?"
"Ms. Lee!" Amy said, then suddenly frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Or was it Miss Seraphina? They look exactly the same."
Then Amy started telling Luna about the two identical aunts and the fairy grass in William\'s yard.
William wasn\'t sure if Luna really understood, but by her expression, she seemed quite bewildered.
