Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

When they arrived at the entrance of the Isle Palace of Delightful Love, although the chains on Adonis had been removed, he was still chopping wood like a guardian deity.

"Still chopping wood, Adonis? Don't you plan to do something else?" William and Adonis were old acquaintances, and William had previously teased him for being whipped.

Adonis gave William a cold look and said, "I'm used to it."

"Then keep at it!" William merely greeted him politely and then proceeded towards the Isle Palace of Delightful Love.

"What are you doing?" Adonis called out to him as he saw William heading inside.

"Going in!" William raised his eyebrows.

The man wasn't blind, asking such a silly question.

Did chopping wood make him dumb?

"I mean, what are you going in there for?" Adonis eyed William warily.

William couldn't help but stop and laughed, "You sure are nosy. Just keep chopping your tree!"

"You're not still thinking about Aphrodite, are you?" In Adonis's eyes, William was a player.

Flirting around with women and then not taking responsibility.

Just as William thought Adonis was whipped, Adonis saw William as a player.Follow current s on ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet

"You're not the one thinking about Aphrodite, are you?" William chuckled. "Even though you're no longer chained, you stand there chopping wood shirtless at her doorstep every day. Do you think showing off those muscles will make Aphrodite notice you?"

Adonis was left speechless by the comment, stuttering for a while before glaring and saying, "Don't spout nonsense here!"

William, after all, has lived for so many years and has been with women, not ten thousand, then at least over nine thousand. Although he is also a boy who is slow in matters of love.

But William clearly hit the mark with Adonis's thoughts..

"It seems I guessed right!" William laughed. "Love between a man and a woman is natural. You clearly have feelings, yet you don't even have the courage to admit it. With that attitude, you're destined to be single forever!"

Adonis had been chopping wood at the entrance of the Isle Palace of Delightful Love for years. He had loved Aphrodite's sister in vain, but Aphrodite's sister had passed away long ago.

Now, he often saw the beautiful and enchanting Aphrodite.

The title of the first beauty in the Divine Realm was not undeserved.

If Adonis wasn't moved, that would be the real wonder.

William's words were straightforward, and after a string of rebukes, Adonis was left speechless.

It wasn't until William continued walking towards the Isle Palace of Delightful Love, ignoring him, that Adonis finally mustered the courage to shout, "If you want to lay a hand on Aphrodite, you'll have to step over my dead body."

William looked back at him and laughed, saying, "Walking in directly or stepping over your dead body makes no difference to me, and you should be well aware of this."

Adonis was truly stunned by William's words.

Indeed!

What could William do if he wanted to enter? Could Adonis stop him?

What a joke!

Stepping over his dead body?

Just stepping in would suffice!

"Then I'll go in with you." Adonis wasn't inflexible,he decided it was best to follow and see what happens.

It seemed it wasn't yet clear if William the Obliterator had any designs on Aphrodite.

"Suit yourself!" William continued towards the Isle Palace of Delightful Love, adding, "I'm here to introduce a match for my disciple's son!"

"Introduce a match?" Adonis quickly caught up to William and asked, "For whom?"

Knowing Aphrodite was hiding somewhere close, William glanced at Forseti and said, "This is Forseti, the son of my disciple Baldr. I'm here to introduce him to a potential match."

"Baldr? Poseidon?" Adonis looked from William to Forseti, astonished, "The God of Light, Baldr, is your disciple?"

"Ah? Is that a problem?" William patted Forseti on the shoulder, "Look at him, isn't he handsome? Plus, his father Baldr has a good relationship with Uranus. Although he and Aphrodite didn't grow up knowing each other, they come from equivalent familial backgrounds. Isn't that a better match than someone who chops wood?"

Adonis, a man of few words, felt a twitch in the corner of his eye upon hearing William's logic.

It seemed... William had a point.

"Uncle William, I've been married before, and though my husband has passed away, I'm not worthy of the future lord of Heart of Asgard." Aphrodite's voice floated over softly.

Suddenly, the space twisted, and Aphrodite, dressed in simple clothing, appeared in front of William and the others.

"Oh? Niece, you don't fancy the son of my disciple?" William claimed he was here to introduce a suitor, but his intentions were not entirely sincere.

Aphrodite had dared to send those women to pursue Alice!

Utterly reckless!

"I do not!" Aphrodite didn't even glance at Forseti as she said, "In this life, Aphrodite loves only her deceased husband and will not remarry!"

Forseti spoke up loudly, "Aphrodite, I am considered one of the strongest among the younger generation of the Shapeshifters. Am I still not good enough for you?"

"Not good enough!" Aphrodite did not beat around the bush and gave Forseti a sideways glance.

After all, Aphrodite was a formal deity of the Divine Alliance, a Trial Sovereign, and her father was the vice-leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance, Uranus.

She did not regard Forseti highly.

Forseti glared at Aphrodite and challenged, "How about we fight it out!"

He couldn't believe he wasn't considered good enough.

How infuriating!

He had to prove his worth to Aphrodite!

Bang!

William smacked Forseti on the head, scolding, "What, has your primal instinct taken over?"

It was just like a lion courting – using brute force to conquer the other party.

Such vulgar behavior!

Forseti held his head, bewildered, muttering, "Can't I do that?"

William ignored Forseti, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at Aphrodite, saying, "Aphrodite, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Aphrodite tilted her head and smiled, "How could Uncle William feel that way?"

William snorted with laughter and said, "Then do you believe that if I say you have to marry someone, you must marry them?"

Aphrodite shook her head, still smiling, and replied softly, "I don't believe!"

Suddenly, Uranus, dressed in a suit, appeared before William.

"William, what are you doing? I'm about to be late for work!" Uranus glanced at his watch and added, "Time's almost up. What's up?"

Going to work...

Alright then!

Uranus, in his attire, seemed like a white-collar worker, apparently finding his pleasure on Earth.

Lost in the moment.

William stated, "I called you to discuss Aphrodite's marriage!"

"Marriage?" Uranus was taken aback and asked, "You've taken a fancy to Aphrodite again? Well, that's fine! Go ahead and get married!"

"Father!" Aphrodite protested loudly, "What are you talking about? I will not marry anyone else!"

Uranus turned back, looking affectionately at Aphrodite, and said, "It's alright, Aphrodite, you don't have to care about age differences. Love is free nowadays. If you like your Uncle William, I won't object!"

"Who likes him?" Aphrodite almost couldn't help but throw a punch at Uranus. Is this really her father's attitude?

Is he insane?

William hurriedly interjected, "Not me, Forseti. I'm here to arrange a marriage for him!"

Only then did Uranus realize, and putting aside whether he was going to work or not, he scrutinized Forseti and said, "This... Forseti, I know him, but..."

After hesitating, he asked Aphrodite, "Do you like him?"

Aphrodite coldly responded, "I do not."

"That makes it difficult!" Uranus gave an awkward smile and laughed it off.

William's smile grew wider as he stared at Uranus and said, "What if I insist she marries Forseti?"
