Chapter 827 It was ignorance that bred fearlessness!
Although Hades had become the King of the Underworld, there were still many secrets he was unaware of.
For instance, he knew about the existence of Cosmic Entities but didn't understand how they actually existed.
William shared some insights with him, and although Hades only grasped a bit of it, he got a rough idea.
Initially, William thought about giving Hades some additional rewards.
But upon further consideration, this guy already possessed two top-tier divine artifacts.
If William gave him another, who knows how arrogant he might become? That wouldn't be good for him.
Hades clearly wanted to discuss more about the battle of the Cosmic Entity guardians with William.
As William's disciple, Hades had been a good host during their stay, and it seemed a bit stingy for William, as a master, not to offer some reward.
Since Hades was curious about the battle of the Cosmic Entity guardians, William straightforwardly transferred the images of his battle during that event directly into Hades' mind.
William's performance in the battle was ruthlessly dominant, crushing everyone on the field, even slaying other universe's Cosmic Entities.
The images of those battles stunned Hades.
There was a time when he thought high-ranking god-kings were the pinnacle of existence.
But seeing William's performance, he realized that even the power of high-ranking god-kings was relatively modest.
What then, was his own power worth?
Since acquiring two top-tier divine artifacts, he had become somewhat arrogant, believing he was very powerful and could easily defeat other high-ranking god-kings.
Now, it seemed he was just a frog at the bottom of a well.
It was ignorance that bred fearlessness!
Without seeing these images, Hades might have remained content with his current status.
"Thank you for letting me know all this," Hades bowed deeply to William.
"What's there to thank?" William waved his hand dismissively and said, "If there's nothing else, then we'll be on our way."
"Safe travels, and farewell to you and Miss Alice," Hades expressed his gratitude. The events William participated in during the battle of the Cosmic Entity guardians were not something ordinary beings were privy to.
Allowing him to witness those battle scenes was a great favor.
And Hades felt that William was giving him a hint!
The battle images were transmitted from William's perspective.
Such firsthand experience of the battle, viewed from William's perspective, would be immensely helpful for his future power enhancement.
After watching William's battle, Hades felt as if his worldview had suddenly expanded.
William was right.
The Cosmic Entity was gone! Now he could seek to comprehend the true power of the ultimate cosmic truth.
Life seemed full of new drive and direction.
Hades even thought that one day, he might personally participate in the battle of the Cosmic Entity guardians, and even dying there seemed like a worthy end.
The group left Hades' palace.
Walking along, William asked them, "Do you have any wishes? Speak them, and I will fulfill them as best as I can."
The journey Loki and the others had taken with Alice had been exceedingly tough.
Previously, William had promised Jesus that if they reached the Sanctum of the Holy Light, he would let him become God.
But now, it was uncertain whether Jesus would want to take up the position of God.
William invited them to make wishes, and it seemed likely that he could fulfill whatever they desired, no matter what it was.Eirik was originally an ancient ice dragon.
But the status of dragons in the Divine Realm was not what it used to be.
Various forces wanted to hunt them or keep them as pets.
And the Divine Realm was becoming increasingly populated with powerful beings.
Most dragons either lived under the protection of others or were turned into food.
Just yesterday, Hades grilled dragon ribs in front of the ancient ice dragon Eirik.
He was pleasing William and Alice but completely disregarded the feelings of the ancient ice dragon Eirik.
And Eirik could only pretend to see nothing.
When Eirik heard William's offer, he excitedly asked, "Mr. Johnson, can it be any wish?"
William looked at him deeply and said, "As long as it's reasonable and not too excessive, it's mostly possible."
Although William promised to fulfill their wishes, if their requests were too excessive, naturally, he wouldn't agree.
For instance, if someone among them wished to replace Zeus, to unify the entire Divine Realm, to destroy the universe, or to instantly achieve the power level of high-ranking god-kings, would William really fulfill all these?
Eirik thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Johnson, you must know that our status in the Divine Realm is not what it once was. I only wish for Mr. Johnson to provide a sanctuary for our dragon kind. Mr. Johnson, can you stop those powerful forces from hunting us?"
"We can live in the deep sea or mountains, never to appear in the world again, and we don't want to be anyone's mount or pet!"
William knew that in the Divine Realm, dragons held little status.
An ancient dragon was even imprisoned in the Heavenly Dungeon.
The status of dragons in the Divine Realm was evident.
Even hiding in the deep sea was unsafe.
After all, dragon meat was too delicious...
Speaking of which, the trend of eating dragon meat was started by William.
"Alright, I agree," William said. "You can choose a sea area including islands as a sanctuary for your dragon kind. I guarantee that no one will hunt you in this area."
The ancient ice dragon Eirik was overjoyed to hear William's words.
Initially, when William asked them to accompany Alice to the Sanctum of the Holy Light, Eirik thought they might end up joining God's camp.
Now, William had granted it freedom and ensured the continuation of its entire dragon kind.
Naturally, Eirik was immensely grateful.
Just accompanying Alice for five years had brought such great benefits to the dragon kind,Eirik was now a hero among them.
After William made his promise, with a thought, all dragons in the Divine Realm felt his powerful presence, including the one in the Heavenly Dungeon.
"From now on, the eastern oceans of the Divine Realm, including the islands therein, belong to the dragon kind. No one is allowed to hunt dragons within this range, or they will be enemies of William the Obliterator."
William's telepathic message reached the ears of leaders of the major powers.
Those capable of hunting dragons were none other than these major powers. William just needed to notify these people.
Originally, hunting dragons was not an easy task, and to make an enemy of William the Obliterator over such a matter seemed unlikely in the Divine Realm.
William also released the divine dragon and Forseti from the Heavenly Dungeon.
Forseti's last five years had not been as comfortable as Alice's.
The Heavenly Dungeon was filled with powerful and deadly magical arrays.
Moreover, William had given a heads-up, and that ancient dragon and the phoenix had taken "special care" of Forseti.
The five years of hardship were also beneficial for Forseti, as his strength had once again made a significant breakthrough.
