Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years Chapter 612 William… thank you!

Chapter 612 William… thank you!

Lucien had no idea that if it weren’t for the two bear-men looking particularly appetizing, they probably would have been goners just now.

Moreover, whether the two bear-men fought back or not, William had felt they looked especially delicious from the moment he laid eyes on them.

William couldn’t remember how many years it had been since he last ate bear paw. After arriving in the Divine Realm, he encountered two bear-men who had lived for thousands of years.

Was this simply a gift from nature?

“Sophias, do you eat raw?” William had already skewered the bear paw and placed it on the grill, a golden flame spontaneously appearing under the paw.

This was a bear paw from a Shapeshifter lord, ordinary fire simply wouldn’t do, so William had to use magic to ignite the fire.

Hearing William say this, Element Devouring Cat quickly responded, “Can I eat it cooked?”

“That works too!” William thought for a moment and then, staring at Element Devouring Cat, asked, “Don’t you find it a bit odd for a cat to eat a huge bear paw?”

“Odd?” Element Devouring Cat smiled sheepishly, “I’m not just any cat, eating a bear paw isn’t strange at all.”

Lucien watched William and Element Devouring Cat grilling the bear paw, with another paw set aside.

“These two bear-men have already partially transformed into human forms, is this really okay to do?” Lucien was almost in the same mental state as Alice.

In his view, monsters and Ents could be killed, but Shapeshifters that had taken on human traits were like humans, sentient beings that could be killed but not eaten.

“If you’re not eating, just stand there and don’t talk! You’re ruining the appetite.” William glanced sideways at Lucien, his gaze dark and forbidding.

Lucien felt as if his heart had been struck by a heavy hammer, unable to utter a single word even though he had more to say.

He stood there, as if electrified, dazed and motionless.

The gap in strength was simply too vast; with just one look, William could render Lucien immobile.

Lucien once again experienced the feeling of utter helplessness he felt during his first encounter with William on Earth.

That complete sense of defeat, unable to offer any resistance!

It felt to Lucien as if William was a massive mountain pressing down on his head, leaving him struggling to breathe.

He had actually once thought that, with his power surge in the Divine Realm, William, who had once overwhelmingly outclassed him in strength, had become vulnerable in his presence.

However, it was clear that William remained an insurmountable force, always seemingly a bit stronger than anyone else.

Lucien didn’t even dare to imagine that if William wanted to kill him, he might end up like those weak Shapeshifters, merely with a lift of his eyelids, turning into dust.

William casually seasoned the bear paw with salt and black pepper, while Sophias took delight in Lucien’s predicament, casting a glance in his direction before obediently squatting down to watch William barbecue.

William’s cooking skills were, of course, beyond question. The divine fire he controlled with magic was perfect in terms of heat and temperature control.

After thyme and rosemary were sprinkled on, the fat on the bear paw began to drip, and the aroma spread all around.

Sophias, the Element Devouring Cat, swallowed hard while squatting nearby, not daring to make any move.

William then took out two sets of utensils, handed one to Sophias, blinked, and said, “Let’s eat!”

Eating alone can be somewhat boring, but having a cheeky cat to share a bear paw with seemed not too bad.

Lucien just watched William and Sophias eating the bear paw, standing there unable to even move.

The fragrance of the bear paw made Lucien’s mouth water, but he was immobilized.

He knew all too well that even if he could move and approach them, he couldn’t shamelessly ask for a share.

The taste of bear paw wasn’t particularly outstanding; it had a strong gamey taste without any distinct flavor, more like a large piece of beef tendon.

If not cooked properly, it might end up being hard to swallow.

William had eaten bear paw before.

In the past, it required cooking with chicken, pork, or other meats in a broth, then seasoned and stewed until tender, ending up tasting somewhat like braised pig’s trotters.

In terms of taste, it wasn’t even as good as the meat of the Element Devouring Cat.

This time, William’s choice to barbecue with divine fire was an attempt at a different method.

Since the bear paws of the two bear-men were thick, the center of the paw was cooked by the divine fire to a crispy outside and tender inside, complemented by William’s secret seasoning. A bite was elastic and rich in flavor, yet not greasy.

But that was about it!

For William, it wasn’t considered particularly delicious.

After eating a few bites, William put away his utensils and started playing with his phone.

Despite the Divine Realm being about 1.12 AU from Earth, William could still get the Earth’s internet signal to reach the Divine Realm.

Sophias, the Element Devouring Cat, cautiously asked William, “Mr. Johnson, aren’t you eating anymore?”

“No, I’m done. You eat.”

After saying that, William started looking at the news on his phone.

Uranus, Poseidon, Zeus, God, and the twelve deities of witchcraft were now expanding their influence on Earth.

Humanity had already begun to accept the existence of Soulmancers, and with these deities gaining followers on Earth, the world was undergoing revolutionary changes.

The coexistence of technological civilization and divine civilization was somehow maintaining a degree of peace.

Lucien finally regained his ability to move, and when he saw Directly support the authors on WebNovel!

William playing with his phone, he was stunned. He approached slowly and asked, “William, you… have a signal on your phone?”

“Yes!” William looked up at him, showing no anger.

“Can I make a call?” Lucien’s voice was a bit strained, his heart racing at the moment.

Even the things William had mentioned before hadn’t caused such a stir in his emotions.

Becoming stronger?

Ascending to a high-tier god-king?

Those goals seemed too distant!

Lucien knew that gaining any formidable power often required much more in return. Ne/w novel chapt𝒆rs are published on no/vel(/bin(.)co/m

The system that had suddenly appeared was filled with oddities, starting him off with a mission to kill William—wasn’t that sending him to his death?

So, he didn’t trust the system to be all that beneficial.

As an Earthling living in the Divine Realm, he felt homesick!

“Could I borrow your phone to call my grandmother? Just for a minute… to let her know I’m safe.” Lucien looked at William somewhat choked up, fearing William would refuse him.

Lucien was barely in his twenties. Even as a genius with many extraordinary encounters, he found it difficult to let go of his family and old friends.

No matter how high his level of power, his mental state remained that of an ordinary person,he couldn’t be indifferent to many things like William.

This might be one of the reasons William enjoyed the lifestyle of ordinary people on Earth.

Ordinary people have emotions and desires, attachments.

Even if it means betraying others for personal gain, what ordinary people consider vile, William finds interesting.

In contrast, the Divine Realm lacks much of this human touch.

Aside from increasing power, it’s mostly about combat. The beings of the Divine Realm live primarily to survive, then to get stronger, and in the end, just to keep living.

Some might already be very strong, but they are just living.

William doesn’t need to increase his power, and he doesn’t have much desire for combat. He finds little joy in fighting, but the complex emotions among ordinary people are much more interesting to him.

“Did you bring your phone? Use your own! I’ll just connect you to the network.” William didn’t lend his phone to Lucien. With just a thought, Lucien’s phone was charged and had full signal strength.

Lucien took out his phone, his pupils dilated, and with trembling hands, he said to William, “William… thank you!”

At this moment, he felt that the person before him didn’t seem so detestable after all.

He seemed quite approachable.
