Chapter 592 Who’s first to court death!

During her time in the alchemy furnace, Alice could clearly feel her strength skyrocketing.

However, after reaching the Elemental Deity level, the pace of her strength increase slowed down significantly.

The secret technique passed down by William had no bottleneck, but the requirements for enhancing one’s power were much higher than those of ordinary secret techniques.

For a typical Elemental Deity at the early stage to break through to the mid-stage, around ten million energy crystals would be needed.

At the same level of power, Alice would need twice as many, or even more.

If not for the thousands of Nature Deity elites bombarding her day and night with spells and magical artifacts, and if not for the alchemy furnace’s extraordinary effects, Alice would have no idea how many years it would take to break through from the mid-stage of Mortal Deity level to the peak of Elemental Deity level.

On the tenth day of being pursued, those Nature Deity elites finally began to realize that their attacks were futile. The ones who initiated the attack looked at the newcomers as if they were fools, as if they had never done something so stupid themselves.

The newcomers gradually stopped their attacks as well.

To continue such a fruitless endeavor for ten days was quite something.

When everyone stopped attacking, a Nature Deity elite named Robert, who was one of the initiators, stood not far away and loudly said, “Alice, you can’t hide in there forever!”

Feeling disappointed as the influx of soul energy stopped, and hearing the words from outside, Alice scanned the surroundings with her consciousness and was startled.

So many people?

Wouldn’t she be killed on the spot if she went out?

“Hey! Why can’t I hide forever? If you lot, this bunch of losers, can do nothing but squat outside, then do so!” Alice, truly following in William’s footsteps, pulled hate with such stability, “You can’t even break a lousy alchemy furnace; you don’t seem to have any prospects. Facing a weak woman like me, you dare not challenge me one-on-one, so why waste your breath?”

The Nature Deity elites outside were furious upon hearing this, having heard that the woman inside the alchemy furnace was just a minor Mortal Deity level.

A mere Mortal Deity level daring to be so arrogant?

Most importantly, her alchemy furnace was terrifyingly powerful, resisting the attacks of so many elites in turns.

And yet, Alice dared to call it a lousy alchemy furnace.

Which broken alchemy furnace can withstand such a beating?

“You say one-on-one duel, then come out!” Robert had no real intention of a one-on-one duel,such a thing seemed utterly impractical.

A thousand people challenging one person to a duel?

How could that ever be a fair one-on-one?

Alice laughed mockingly, “Do you think I’m stupid? You guys figure it out, draw numbers, line up, and whoever wins gets my artifact!”

“After you’ve lined up, swear an oath!” Alice now understood that in the Divine Realm, oaths were bound by some universal rules, and breaking an oath would result in divine retribution.

To be at peace, making them swear was the only way!

A group of Nature Deity beings being forced to take a collective oath by someone suspected to be of Mortal Deity level was indeed odd!

“Alice, what do you take us for?”

Robert sneered, “We won’t swear, so what? Do we have to agree to whatever you say? What do you take us for?”

Alice, often rendered speechless by William’s rebukes on regular days, showcased her verbal sparring skills to the fullest this time. She loudly said, “What do I consider you all?”

“What else? A bunch of losers! A bunch of idiots!”

“So many of you taking turns for a one-on-one duel with a weak woman, and it’s a war of attrition, yet you dare not swear an oath?”

“You’re planning to ambush, aren’t you?”

“A bunch of noobs! Trying to play foul, are you?”

…

William, sitting at a distance, laughed out loud upon hearing Alice speak like this.

He had always thought of Alice as a demure, somewhat naive girl!

Hmm, a Manic Pixie Dream Girl?

That’s probably the term!

But as a 21st-century woman, many girls’ thoughts are quite open. Even though Alice was originally a girl who stayed at home focused on studying medicine, she wasn’t ignorant of internet slang or insults!

With William not by her side, a group of people chasing her, and William seemingly ready to find a new wife, her more formidable personality naturally came to the fore.

As the saying goes, “A man is known by the company he keeps.”

Hanging around with William, picking up some trash talk and learning how to get under people’s skin came with the territory.

Sure enough, Alice’s words infuriated some of the Nature Deity beings into attacking the alchemy furnace again!

“Have you eaten?” Alice let out a mocking laugh, “A bunch of noobs, let’s see how long you can last against me!”

Someone, who knows who started it, said, “We’ll swear the oath! Are we really afraid of her, all of us against one?”

This made sense to many.

The alchemy furnace was like an indestructible turtle shell,they had been at it for so long without any success. A one-on-one duel with Alice seemed like a better idea.

Whoever wins, gets the top-tier artifact!

It could also prevent a second melee!

But first, they had to coax Alice out, right?

Otherwise, were they all supposed to stand there like idiots waiting?

Seeing how confident Alice was, they might indeed end up waiting for tens of thousands of years.

“Who goes first?” Robert had no objections,to win the treasure, they first had to lure the person out.

Alice, too, wanted to hone her skills. She knew those outside were Nature Deity level elites.

But she had slain Nature Deity level elites when she was at a high Soulmancer level. Now that her strength had surged, why should she fear them?

If it came to a one-on-one duel, she could use her overwhelming tactics to kill some and dominate in terms of momentum, perhaps even breaking through their ranks!

It seemed this was the only option now…

“Decide by drawing straws!” Alice wasn’t just sitting idle inside the alchemy furnace; besides enhancing her strength, she had been refining her secret sword technique.

Having the Sword of Soulbreaker and being with William for so many years, to put it plainly, the Sword Spirit of the Sword of Soulbreaker was the best teacher.

Alice’s understanding of swordsmanship advanced rapidly as she continuously visualized William drawing his sword, coupled with the power of a holy aura for deduction and observation.

“Alright, drawing straws it is!”

Robert and the others compromised yet again, facing Alice, this little rascal, they were helpless, and drawing straws indeed seemed the best solution.

In their view, anyone present could potentially kill Alice instantly, given the overwhelming difference in strength levels.

After all, wasn’t everyone who reached the Nature Deity level considered a chosen one of the heavens?

Being killed by someone of a lower level seemed like a scenario only found in online novels.

Even if Alice got lucky and managed to win one or two duels, those who were drawn to fight earlier held a natural advantage.

But there was one thing to consider.

Whoever won Alice’s artifact would undoubtedly face a collective attack, and how they would manage to escape unscathed was a concern.

With this in mind, everyone was in no rush.

The order of challenge was not the issue,securing Alice’s artifact was just the beginning of the conflict.

Alice?

She was hardly within their consideration,as soon as she appeared, she was doomed!

Everyone had their own thoughts, but the oath and drawing straws were completed under Alice’s direction.

The matter of swearing oaths was mutually monitored, otherwise, each would feel at a disadvantage.

Once everything was ready, Alice emerged from the alchemy furnace, holding the Sword of Soulbreaker, clad in white, standing amidst the encircling Nature Deities.

“Who’s first to court death!” Alice’s voice was cold, her demeanor resolute, embodying the air of a peerless master. Her gaze slowly swept over the Nature Deity-level powerhouses surrounding her, showing not a trace of fear on her face.
