Chapter 533 An insignificant minion?
Should a fight break out, the combined magical formations executed by these tens of thousands of Celestial Legion of Olympus gods are not to be underestimated.
Even if Jed could defeat Dionysus and those Celestial Legion of Olympus gods, the Divine Alliance is home to countless powerful beings. What would Jed do if a truly powerful deity decided to intervene?
After pondering for a while, Jed suddenly snapped back to reality.
"Hold on!" Jed looked at William and said, "Why should I take action?"
William glanced at him sideways: "You just said you wanted to help."
Jed laughed: "Don\'t try to deceive me, you\'re a sly one. Let\'s get this straight,you\'re the one who saved Hydra. Dionysus is after you, not me. I\'m curious to see how you\'ll handle this."
Feigning disappointment, William said, "I thought we were friends."
Jed burst into laughter, "William the Obliterator afraid? Even if we are friends, I\'d actually prefer to see you getting beaten up."
"Do you think that burly man with a beard, Dionysus, could beat me?" William looked up slightly towards the Celestial Legion of Olympus gods already hovering over Blizzard City.
Jed shook his head: "It\'s normal if they can\'t beat you. I\'m just curious, if you kill Dionysus, who will the Divine Alliance send next?"
"Or will the Divine Alliance issue a kill order against you?" Jed\'s wine jug reappeared in his hand, mysteriously filled again with wine.
After taking a sip, Jed laughed, swaying slightly: "The thought of you being hunted is quite amusing. I\'m looking forward to it."
William gave him the middle finger directly.
Jed, puzzled, asked, "What does that mean?"
"It means you\'re really a good friend of mine."
"Of course! Of course!" Jed, who has devoted his life to the way of the sword, always carries a stern face. In his view, only William the Obliterator could be considered half a friend, yet also a lifelong adversary.
Seeing William the Obliterator in a tight spot would be a joyous occasion for him.
"Jed, you were guarding God\'s Tear Ridge, so how did Hydra break free from her seal?"
From above, a fifty-foot tall, red-haired giant, clad in leopard skin, looked down upon William and the others.
Dionysus, the god of wine, wilderness, and theatre, son of Zeus and the mortal Semele, stood as the foremost of Zeus\'s four guardian gods.
Dressed in black, his massive arms wielded a staff entwined with ivy and grapevines, topped with a pinecone, truly a majestic sight.
William didn\'t take him seriously, instead turning to Jed beside him: "Seems like they\'re here to accuse you."
"Don\'t try to stir up trouble," Jed retorted coldly. "Think you can trick me into action? Impossible!"
Despite his words, Jed held some dissatisfaction towards Dionysus\'s demeanor.
Back in the era of the gods, Dionysus was but a child, yet now he spoke with such an accusatory tone?
"Dionysus, he has already saved Hydra, and the person along with the Shapeshifters are here. If you can, capture her back," Jed, holding his sword, stood next to William, pointing to the little white snake cuddling William\'s leg. "That\'s Hydra for you. The rest is up to you."
Dionysus\'s eyes sparkled as he observed Jed and William. "Is he the one who saved Hydra?"
Jed Carlson, with a meaningful smile, stepped back and confirmed, "Yes, it\'s him."
Dionysus didn\'t rush to act, but his Celestial Legion of Olympus gods had already formed ranks behind him, encircling William and Jed.
"Is that so? This man managed to save Hydra from Mr. Carlson and break the seal?" Dionysus shrunk rapidly until he was less than seven feet tall, laughing with interest. "It seems Mr. Carlson and the rescuer of Hydra are acquainted. Didn\'t even have to lift a finger, did you?"
This insinuated that Jed and William were conspiring together.
Jed, not offended, laughed: "Indeed, we go way back. In fact, when I first knew him, you probably weren\'t even born."
Dionysus, having become a deity only in the last two hundred thousand years, naturally didn\'t recognize William the Obliterator. Sensing Jed flaunting his seniority, he simply laughed out loud: "Mr. Carlson, are you suggesting you wish to join forces with your old acquaintance?"
Strictly speaking, he did not wish for Jed to oppose the Divine Alliance.
An existence invincible below the level of Supreme Deity...
How many Supreme Deities are there in the entire Divine Realm?
Hearing this, Jed simply waved his hand and said, "No need for such formality, I\'m just here to watch the excitement. If you\'re going to fight, then hurry up and do it. Don\'t waste time talking. I\'m waiting to see."
He asked himself, if he were in the situation facing Dionysus and the tens of thousands of Celestial Legion of Olympus gods, he could indeed escape safely, let alone with a Hydra by William\'s side.
J?rmungandr had also appeared earlier and seemed to be quite afraid of William.
All along, Jed felt that William had never used his full strength in their encounters, but could never find proof.
He seriously suspected that William had reached the level of a Supreme Deity but had always hidden his power. Now was a good chance to see what William was capable of.
"Mr. Carlson means you won\'t lend a hand in helping?" Dionysus was still somewhat wary of Jed\'s strength and didn\'t dare to offend him too much.
"Stop beating around the bush! Are you going to fight or not? I already said I won\'t help," Jed said before retreating to a piece of blue stone nearby. Sitting down, he began to drink slowly, ready to watch the show.
Only then did Dionysus focus all his attention on William.
This man seemed ordinary!
Could he defeat Jed?
Only if he was of Supreme Deity level strength!
However, Dionysus was acquainted with the Supreme Deities of the Divine Realm.
Thus, the release of Hydra was most likely because Jed didn\'t want to guard God\'s Tear Ridge any longer.
Or perhaps it was some consensus reached by the high-ranking gods of the Divine Alliance.
The Divine Alliance wanted to subdue Hydra, and God had lifted the seal.
Now, they just found an opportunity, deliberately letting an insignificant minion release Hydra, then capturing this person to bring back.
Maybe this would even count as a merit for him.
Yes, it must be so.
"You! Surrender now, you insignificant minion. You\'re not worth the effort for me to kill. I\'ve come today to capture Hydra, not to deal with you," Dionysus pointed at William and shouted, thinking he was offering William a way out.
Jed, sitting nearby, almost spat out his drink.
The young Dionysus!
He truly has no idea how terrifying William is!
An insignificant minion?
Hydra, hiding in the shadows, opened its mouth wide, stealthily sizing up Dionysus.
Well, he doesn\'t look very appetizing, but he sure embodies the spirit of seeking death to the fullest.
