Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 186 Demigod

Zoey and Wes would never have imagined that before even starting the job, William had already figured out how to slack off at work.

After William signed and fingerprinted the document, and left a photo of himself, it was directly filed in the 13th Bureau's records.

Wes also briefly explained the rules of the 13th Bureau to William, primarily revolving around not harming ordinary people and trying as much as possible to conduct battles in uninhabited areas to minimize unnecessary economic loss to the public.

Every Soulmancer who breaks the law must be stopped as quickly as possible, and the offender brought to the 13th Bureau.

The sentencing standards are actually quite similar to those for ordinary people.

Especially, those who intentionally commit murder must pay with their lives!!

"Alright, William, come with me on a mission."

Zoey asked him to go on a mission right after he had just signed the contract.

Wes asked, "What mission?"

Zoey casually replied, "Demigod!"

Wes anxiously said, "Really, sis? William has just joined, and you're taking him to find a demigod? What if something happens?"

William, playing along, asked, "What is a demigod?" After all, he was playing the role of an ordinary person, so it was appropriate to ask when such topics came up.

Wes pondered for a moment, and said, "You should have heard some Greek and Roman mythology, or read some fantasy s. The so-called demigod refers to one who has attained the power of a demigod.Normally, it means when a person breaks the limits of an advanced Soulmancer and reaches a new level of power, they may be recognized by the deities of the heavens. This person would gain the unique powers of a god, along with some of their memories, and is generally very powerful. However, there are also cases where they are forcibly possessed by demons."

"And for some unknown reason, there seems to be a bit of an influx of demigods coming to our world recently. We've already identified two new demigods in the past few days, and both seem to have gained the power of a particularly strong demon."

Wes frowned, "Sis, demigods with demon powers are often very aggressive and volatile. If you bring William along, I'm afraid you might not be able to protect him."

Wes couldn't understand why Zoey was so certain that William was a Soulmancer. Even if William were a Soulmancer, his power level would surely be very low. Bringing such a burden to face a demigod with demonic powers—wasn't this akin to seeking death with a bonus gift?

With Zoey's power, she might have a fighting chance against a demigod, but bringing along someone who knows nothing would undoubtedly tip the scales against them.

Unless Zoey planned to abandon him there.

But wouldn't that be sending William to his death?

Nelson, who was listening nearby, had assumed that Zoey knew William's true strength. With William, a top-notch expert, they should have no problems against a demigod, especially a newly arrived one still adapting to its new body, which might not even be a match for Zoey.

Bryant, aware of Zoey's straightforward nature and her aversion to scheming, wondered if she was intentionally setting William up for torment by the demigod.

"I can handle it," Zoey said, ignoring Wes's warnings. "You don't need to come with me today. If there's anything else, call me."

"William, let's go." Zoey was very confident in her abilities. For some reason, she felt that William must be a Soulmancer. If even she couldn't discern William's true strength, could it mean that William was even more powerful than she was?

As long as she trusted her intuition, William's real power was surely greater than hers.

Yes, that must be it!

William didn't say anything and just followed Zoey.

He had always known about the existence of demigods.

Just like those gods who were vanquished by him tens of thousands of years ago, their physical bodies were destroyed, but their souls have reconstituted a whole new world, known as the Divine Realm.

This world was in a parallel state to the current one, and explained with modern science, it existed in a different dimension.

They all exist in the form of spiritual entities, and it is not easy for them to come to this world. Just like the last time Merlin's spirit manifested, it was clearly forced to appear due to fear of William. He might be worried that if he angers William, the entire Arcane Society that he founded would be annihilated, and he would be unable to find a suitable successor.

In the past, this world was not abundant in energy. Once their souls entered this realm, the immense energy consumption had no source of replenishment, leaving them extremely weakened upon returning to the Divine Realm.

In the so-called Divine Realm, it was indeed a survival of the fittest. Demons often devoured the souls of other deities to enhance their power.

William had also once allowed his spirit to leave his body to visit the Divine Realm. All in all, it was definitely not a pleasant place, filled with peril and bloodshed everywhere.

Compared to the Divine Realm, William much prefers the world he is in now.

Zoey led William to the school parking lot and asked, "Can you drive?"

William had seen Lila and others drive before. Gazing at the white minivan in front of him, he nodded seriously, "Yes!"

Learning quickly was William's talent.

"Then you drive."

"Okay!"

William was very willing to try new things, but when he got into the car, sat in the driver's seat, and Zoey handed him the car keys, he was stunned.

This car was nothing like Lila's!

Lila had a Maserati, but the car in front of him was a regular Chevrolet Express.

Zoey said, "Go ahead, drive!"

William took a deep breath and inserted the key, recalling that he had ridden in an Uber a couple of days ago, and the interior layout of that car was somewhat similar to this one.

Ten minutes later…

Zoey stared blankly at William and asked, "Can you really drive or not?"

William could only respond, "I can't drive this type of car."

Zoey frowned slightly, "Aren't all cars the same?"

"It seems not quite the same. That car has two pedals, but this one has three."

William really didn't know much about cars; he didn't even know the difference between manual and automatic, let alone that to start an automatic car, one needs to depress the clutch.

"Then obviously my car is better." Zoey said disdainfully, "It seems you can only drive cheap cars."

William also couldn't help frowning, "Why do I feel like her car is more expensive?"

"How is that possible? This car was assigned by my unit. Besides, which is more, three or two?" Zoey said, "Clearly, mine is more expensive."

"Makes some sense!" William nodded in agreement and said, "Then you drive."

"How could I possibly know how?" Zoey said before getting out of the car, "Let's take the bus."

William had no choice, it turned out Zoey couldn't drive either, so they had to take public transport.

"By the way, where are we going?"

"A piano store in North Manhattan."

William asked, "A piano store? Is the person a pianist?"

Zoey said, "It seems like someone who teaches the violin."

"Are you sure?"

"Anyway, that's what the intel says, her name is Sofia."
