BXBX NOVEL Chapter 526 Forced to Share the Spoils
Chapter 526 Forced to Share the Spoils
It was very clear that if the one standing below truly was William, then with its strength, it was a case of "You can run, but you can\'t hide."
Back then, the divine beasts and fierce beasts, if targeted by William, undoubtedly only had two best options.
One was to stand still obediently and wait for William to cook. If that demonic-like William wasn\'t very hungry that day, one could offer up some less important parts for him to chop off and taste, at least as a good way to save one\'s life.
The second was to try to please this demonic-like William. It was said he liked pets acting cute, so transforming into a cute pet to make him hesitant to harm you could save your life or even gain a good opportunity. Just wait for this demonic-like William to get bored, and then you could go home.
Of course, these were the two best options.
There were also those who believed in their own strength enough to battle William. According to the surviving divine and fierce beasts who watched, they all ended up turned to ashes, soul and body destroyed.
The ancient dragon was already trembling with fear, while Drakaina and Orionix in the distance were still clueless.
Yet, they dared not approach.
What was supposed to be the ruins of an ancient frost dragon turned out to be a living one, which was a completely different matter.
William looked at the ancient frost dragon in the sky, now petrified with fear, and stretched out his right hand, beckoning with his fingers.
The ancient frost dragon rapidly shrank to a length of 2 feet, quickly flew to William\'s feet, and began gently rubbing against them like a cat, its ferocious head somehow displaying a pleasing smile.
"Do you recognize me?" William revealed a smile.
The ancient frost dragon cautiously said, "I haven\'t seen you before, but your noble appearance and voice have been known throughout the world for years; we all know of you."
William spoke in a low voice, "Stop buttering me up, go stand over there!"
Upon hearing this, the ancient dragon rolled over and then stood there, quietly awaiting William\'s commands.
William felt somewhat embarrassed. He remembered being quite amiable back in the day; why was this ancient dragon so afraid of him?
Could it have believed some rumors?
William coughed lightly, causing the ancient dragon to tremble all over again in fear.
It saw that William was only of Mortal Deity level strength, but considering the huge crater below, the disappearance of St. Benedict, and the Trident in William\'s hand, it wasn\'t foolish enough to truly believe this person was weak.
This cough made it start to consider which part of its body it should offer up if William decided to eat it.
The tail?
What if William said he didn\'t like to eat that? Then what?
Perhaps leave behind two claws?
Although there wasn\'t much meat on the claws, the taste should be quite good.
The ancient dragon was already pondering which part of itself might taste better.
As long as William didn\'t fancy eating its private parts or head, it thought it could accept anything else.
"Do you have any treasures down there?" William just asked.
The ancient dragon was momentarily stunned.
Treasures?
"Mr. Johnson, you jest. I was sealed by those saints of the Catholic Church, I don\'t have any treasures..." the ancient dragon thought for a moment and then said, "Well, I do have some things in my mouth, but those probably aren\'t treasures in your eyes."
William liked treasures?
Why hadn\'t any divine beast mentioned this before?
"Then spit them all out, and then... come with me!" William\'s eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn\'t help thinking of a new plan.
He thought about having Alice travel from the east to the west side of the Divine Realm, a journey that would be suitable for training Alice.
Why not let Alice take the core position of the team, then start from Blizzard City and fight all the way to the Sanctum of the Holy Light.
Yes, this should make them stronger!
Having settled on a script, William decided to be a playwright and would write this process into a script once he got back.
Hearing William say this, the ancient frost dragon was instantly overjoyed. He was just greedy for wealth but wouldn\'t harm its life?
It instantly grew larger, opened its mouth, and spat out a pile of magical artifacts, magical potions, and crystals onto the ground in front of it.
William put away the Trident, then shouted towards Drakaina\'s direction: "Come over and share the spoils!"
What ancient dragon ruins, this frost dragon wasn\'t dead at all, but with so many people having come, all summoned by William, it wouldn\'t be right not to share the spoils.
Drakaina and Orionix exchanged glances, former enemies now using eye contact to communicate what to do next.
Should they go?
This William was mysterious,he killed the bishop of the Catholic Church\'s Holy Cross Church just like that, and that ancient dragon seemed to have submitted to his intimidation as well.
A disciple of a high-ranking god of Olympus erasing a bishop of the Catholic Church.
Such a significant act, William wouldn\'t be planning to silence them, would he?
"If you don\'t come to share the spoils, I\'ll kill you all!" William\'s tone was calm but filled with deterrence.
A being of Mortal Deity level threatening a group of Nature Deity level beings—if this were to be told, it would seem absurd.
But given his action of blasting St. Benedict to smithereens with his trident, they could only go over.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Drakaina stared at William, thinking of having everyone attack him if the situation turned sour.
Even if William held the Trident, logically, he couldn\'t withstand an attack from everyone, could he?
William pulled out his phone, activated the video recording feature, and laughed, "Aren\'t you all here for the ruins of the ancient dragon? Now, although we haven\'t found the ruins, there are still plenty of treasures. Let\'s share them!"
"..."
Apart from Drakaina and Orionix, the other Shapeshifter lords and demigods looked at each other. Was William causing such a big commotion just to secure benefits for them?
Something was off!
A powerful bishop of the Catholic Church was dead, and Holy Cross Church had been leveled. If they shared in the spoils, did that mean they were becoming enemies of God?
These Shapeshifter lords and the people of Blizzard City dared not touch the treasures before them.
William\'s face grew cold as he said, "I\'m telling you to take them. If you don\'t, are you not giving face to the gods of Olympus?"
Saying this, he thrust the Trident into the ground, his gaze sweeping over the Shapeshifter lords and the people of Blizzard City present.
Not giving face to the gods of Olympus?
They couldn\'t help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.
What in the world was this situation?
They had heard about the ruins of the ancient frost dragon near Blizzard City and had planned to get a share of the loot.
Now, having witnessed such a significant event, they were being forced to share the spoils?
There were tales of robbers forcing victims to hand over treasures, but none where they forced people to share in the loot.
"Hurry up and take it." William raised his eyebrows, "I\'ll count to three. If anyone hasn\'t taken something by then, don\'t blame me for getting angry!"
Damn it!
The Shapeshifter lords and the people of Blizzard City dared not hesitate any longer, quickly dividing up the treasures before them, even Orionix and Drakaina were forced to pick something.
William smiled contentedly, "That\'s more like it. That bishop of Holy Cross Church, we killed him together, right? And now we\'re sharing the spoils together, so from now on, we\'re all one of us."
Orionix: "..."
Drakaina: "..."
