Chapter 761 Divine fruit
Amy trusted William completely,it never crossed her mind that he could possibly deceive her.
Just as she believed, how could someone as kind-hearted as William ever trick her?
And how could he bear to deceive such a sweet child like her?
"Amy, do you see that tower ahead? Isn't it beautiful?"
In the midst of the ruins stood a 150-foot tall tower, shimmering with lights and exuding a futuristic vibe.
"It's beautiful," Amy replied, admiring the tower from a distance.
"When you were fighting outside earlier, I went in to take a look. It seems like there are a lot of good things inside. Why don't you go in and take some?"
William had realized that with humanity's current capabilities, reclaiming lost lands or even contending with mutated creatures was extremely difficult.
Although he repeatedly told himself that he just wanted to observe how events unfolded from a bystander's perspective.
But having watched humanity evolve from ancient times to the present, he had witnessed many brilliant civilizations, which also held his memories.
Too many interesting people and events were intertwined in his heart.
If human civilization were to disappear, he probably wouldn't be happy about it.
After all, he hadn't, like some deities, discarded emotions and desires, focusing solely on becoming stronger.
In some ways, he was more human than those deities.
"Good things?" Amy looked at William curiously, puzzled, "Why didn't you bring them out yourself?"
Although Amy didn't suspect William of deceiving her, she wondered why he had come back empty-handed if he had already been inside and seen these so-called good things.
Like pulling a trick, William produced a bright red fruit.
This fruit, about the size of a strawberry, was blood-red all over with a smooth, translucent skin. It was a special product of the Divine Realm, known as the Red Flame Fruit.
The Red Flame Fruit is revered as a divine fruit in the Divine Realm, grown on the edges of the ancient abyss, and typically only those of the Absolute Deity level are privileged enough to enjoy it.
For ordinary deities, a single Red Flame Fruit is enough to purify their bloodline and significantly enhance their physical form.
Although Amy is a disciple of the sea god Poseidon, she is still fundamentally human. It's uncertain how much of an enhancement she would receive from consuming such a divine fruit.
Amy took the Red Flame Fruit from William, examining it in her hand. "I've had this fruit before from my masters."
William smiled and asked, "How was it? Do you want more?"
Poseidon, always generous with his disciples and especially so with Amy, had even given her his own Sword of the Abyssal Guardian. To him, giving away Red Flame Fruits was nothing extraordinary, so naturally, he made sure his young disciple had some.
Amy, like a puppy seeing a bone, nodded eagerly, her mouth almost watering.
Purify the bloodline?
Such effects were meaningless to William.
William enjoyed eating Red Flame Fruits simply because they tasted excellent.
The skin was tender and juicy, sweet and slightly tart, with a hint of refreshing fragrance.
The most distinctive feature of the Red Flame Fruit was its cooling effect upon entering the mouth, spreading a warm sensation throughout the body once swallowed—truly a top choice for a household fruit.
After his last visit to the Divine Realm, William had taken the opportunity to pick 5 pounds of them, storing them in his spatial ring.
If the deities of the Divine Realm knew about this, they would surely scream in luxury, treating Red Flame Fruits as ordinary strawberries—probably only someone like William the Obliterator could afford such extravagance.
As Amy popped the Red Flame Fruit into her mouth, she immediately experienced an explosion of flavors, surpassing any fruit she had ever tasted.
Swallowing it, warmth spread throughout her body, and it felt as if infinite power was gathering in her abdomen.
Even though it wasn't her first time eating a Red Flame Fruit, she still found the taste incredibly delightful.
"Mr. Johnson, do you have any more?"
Amy was quite greedy for tasty treats, and William thought that such a naive child, if not for her abilities, could easily have been kidnapped by traffickers in the past.
"Of course, there are more, but you'll have to pick them yourself," William said as he ruffled Amy's hair. "They're inside that tower."
Amy's eyes sparkled with excitement, realizing that the delicious fruit came from there.
"Let's go in and pick some fruit!" Amy was thrilled. As a child, she had always wanted to climb the phoenix tree in William's courtyard to play, even though the fruits from that tree weren't edible and were only good for playing.
Climbing trees to pick fruit was such a fun activity.
"I'll stay outside and wait for you," William said. "There are many things inside, and if you can bring them out, you could help a lot of people."
Amy didn't question why Mr. Johnson wouldn't go inside,she was mostly caught by his last remark about helping many people.
During these days of mutated creature unrest, Amy had seen many refugees struggling to find food. Schools in New York had suspended classes, and many of the city's usual bustle had vanished, along with many delicacies.
So many people needed help.
"Are there many fruits inside?" Amy asked, clenching her fists, "What else is there besides the fruits?"
William replied, "There are also some metal chips and some books inside. You can take all those things out. If you give them to Commander Samuel, he will surely praise you."
That was all William could do.
Those metal chips were items from within the high tower, containing records of future technologies.
The books he mentioned...
They were his compilations of the basic secrets on how to become a Soulmancer.
Today, there aren't many secrets available for humans wanting to become Soulmancers.
Whether it's deities of witchcraft like Moros or even the sea god Poseidon, they wouldn't teach ordinary people the secrets to becoming Soulmancers.
They choose their disciples based on aptitude and fate.
And other Soulmancer organizations? Their secrets are often incomplete, and even with the resurgence of energy, it's quite an achievement for disciples of typical Soulmancer organizations to reach the Demi-God level.
In the current situation, being at the Demi-God level really isn't considered strong.
If William were to release these secrets, it could truly lead to the widespread ability for everyone to become Soulmancers. As for the level of power one could ultimately achieve, that would depend on the individual's insight and fortune.
Of course, among these, there are secrets that William considers basic, but they are actually sufficient to elevate a Demi-God level powerhouse to the initial level of a Mortal Deity.
With the fall of the Cosmic Entities of the thirteen universes, naturally, the guardians of the Cosmic Entities no longer exist. There are also no emissaries from the Divine Realm coming to Earth. Earth's powerhouses no longer need to reach the Quasi-
Deity level and then, after breaking through, reshape their bodies in the Divine Realm in a soul state.
The joint development of technology, magic, and theology is perhaps the only way for humans to contend with the powerful Mutated creatures and re-establish a peaceful order.
Peace also needs to be protected by strong military power.
Hearing William say this, Amy also became excited and said, "Mr. Johnson, then you wait for me outside, I'll go in and get the stuff and come out."
William nodded and said, "Then you need to be careful. There are many powerful monsters inside, and you'll have to defeat them to get what you need."
