Chapter 466 William was sure to get a sound beating!
William also realized that the reason why those "Chosen Ones" had such a surge in strength was probably because they received the power of the thing William expelled from his body, which changed their destiny, rather than their own talents being exceptionally strong.
"William, where did you put those divine artifacts of mine? I\'ve been missing them for so many years... maybe you could return them to me?" Delmar finally voiced the thought he had since the moment he saw William.
William\'s eyes narrowed slightly as he smiled, "That must be the real reason you\'ve been looking for me."
Back then, Poseidon, in gratitude to William for solving his quandary, excitedly gifted an amphora to William. Later, he made a bet with William: if William could break his Godslayer Sword array, he would lend him the artifacts of Olympus and the Trident for a while.
How long this \'while\' was, wasn\'t specified, leading to the current situation where his belongings were still with William.
Delmar chuckled, "William, you make it sound like I don\'t cherish our friendship. I just wanted to catch up with an old friend."
"Really?" William set down his pen, smiling playfully at Delmar, "Then you wouldn\'t be upset if I told you I don\'t remember where I put those artifacts, right?"
Delmar looked somewhat embarrassed, forcing a laugh, "Of... of course, I wouldn\'t be upset..."
William had hit the nail on the head.
The main reason Poseidon divided himself into three thousand avatars and entered various parallel dimensions was to find William and retrieve the Trident and other divine artifacts.
"But... William, our bet was that I would lend you the Trident for a while, and now..." Delmar knew that William had many treasured artifacts, and although the Trident was a powerful divine artifact, William\'s artifacts were no less formidable, some even more powerful.
Take, for instance, his Sword of Soulbreaker...
Delmar felt that given William\'s stature, even if he really lost his Trident and other divine artifacts, or didn\'t want to return them, he would at least offer a similarly valued artifact as compensation.
William raised an eyebrow and said, "Delmar, let\'s get something straight. Your sword was lent to the William of the Age of the Gods, not to the current me. Why should I be responsible? Even if it\'s lost, you shouldn\'t be coming to me!"
"Ah?" Delmar was completely taken aback.
The sword was lent to the William of the past, so what does it have to do with the current William?!
What kind of nonsense was that?
Was he simply denying any responsibility?
"Moreover, what you just mentioned was a matter between the sea god Poseidon and William. Even if it involves returning the Trident and other divine artifacts, that would be to the sea god Poseidon, not to you, right?"
Delmar was truly at a loss for words.
According to William\'s logic, his Trident and other divine artifacts were as good as gone!
And it was evident that William had no intention of offering any compensation.
A total loss?
William had already decided to enforce the law among these deities, aiming for peaceful coexistence. How could he possibly hand over the Trident and other artifacts of Olympus?
Wouldn\'t that be akin to handing over a weapon of mass destruction?
Absolutely not!
In the lecture hall, the teacher had finished speaking and left.
William also packed up his things and stood up: "Is there anything else? If not, I\'ll be heading out now."
"Wait! I have another question!"
Delmar couldn\'t hold back any longer.
William looked at him with an amiable smile.
"Are you really just a novice Soulmancer? Can your strength return to its former level?"
"Poseidon, that\'s two questions!" William\'s smile disappeared.
Delmar became somewhat anxious: "Then ask both questions!"
William chuckled, "We agreed to only ask one question, didn\'t we?"
Delmar, suppressing the urge to strike him down then and there, gritted his teeth: "Then answer the second one!"
William pondered for a moment. He didn\'t really need any power boost,as time passed, he would only get stronger.
Currently, he felt many times more powerful than before. Over the years, he had been working hard to align his strength with the times.
As for reducing his strength to how it was billions of years ago...
That would be too difficult!
He couldn\'t even recall how weak he was back then!
"That\'s a bit difficult..." William mused, "Probably impossible."
Delmar burst into laughter: "So, you really are just a novice Soulmancer now?"
His laughter was loud, attracting the attention of other students in the classroom, who looked back at them.
In their eyes, Delmar and William always seemed to have a good relationship.
And the fact that William was a novice Soulmancer was well-known, but they couldn\'t understand why Delmar found it so amusing.
William was taken aback for a moment, realizing his words could be easily misunderstood.
But he didn\'t explain. Instead, he said, "If you\'re done asking, then I need to get going." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Go ahead! Tonight, let\'s have a duel, a sword fight. What do you say?"
Delmar didn\'t intend to kick someone when they\'re down, but having suffered countless setbacks at William\'s hands in the past, now that he has the opportunity, isn\'t it time to get back at William?
As William said, he is now William, and he is Delmar.
Delmar challenging William to a sword duel wasn\'t really about revenge, right?
This is merely a pure contest of swordsmanship.
Delmar felt exceptionally happy at the thought of defeating the once-strongest sword deity William with just a fragment of his divine spirit.
An unparalleled joy!
William looked deeply at Delmar.
Challenging him to a sword duel? What was he thinking?
"Let\'s talk about it tonight!" William was busy planning to meet Alice. Yesterday, Alice had already crafted more than nine hundred Legendary-grade pills, and by calculation, she should be coming out today.
After refining so many Legendary-grade pills, her control over mental power must be quite impressive. Even if she couldn\'t fly, simply floating in mid-air would be very easy for her.
After saying this, William walked towards the classroom door, while Delmar called out loudly from behind, "Tonight, in your courtyard, let\'s have a good duel!"
"Alright!" William replied and walked away.
Soon, the news of Delmar challenging William to a sword duel spread throughout the academy.
Moros also received the news quickly.
He didn\'t take it seriously, seeing it as an obvious opportunity for William to offer some guidance to Delmar.
Indeed, their relationship seemed very good, and William must have agreed to guide Delmar out of respect for him!
As for others who heard the news, some were nearly ready to pop champagne in celebration.
Had the school bully Delmar finally become fed up with William?
William was sure to get a sound beating!
Of course, many also started worrying about William…
William, however, didn\'t think much of it. When he arrived at the bottom of the cliff, Alice was already standing on the surface of the lake, hands behind her back, exuding the aura of a strong person. Even when she heard footsteps behind her, she remained undisturbed.
