Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 782 Is that supposed to be impressive?

Chapter 782 Is that supposed to be impressive?

??Garen hovered high in the sky, his posture unmistakable. Alexios, knowing he was no match for him, remained calm and said, "Garen, your strength is formidable, and I admit my inferiority. But if you want your guild to replace the Pantheon Guild, then you'll have to break in yourself!"

With that, Alexios turned to leave.

Regardless of Garen's initial intentions, the Emerald Lion Guild and the Pantheon Guild were now at odds.

Garen found himself pushed into a corner by his own guild members.

Now, with William residing in the Arcane Village base, here he was, openly challenging the Pantheon Guild...

It was said that the Pantheon Guild's protective magic barrier, the Olympian Divine Barrier, was crafted by the collective might of the twelve Olympian gods: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes, and Hestia.

This barrier was incredibly powerful and intricate, capable of summoning fierce lightning, storms, flames, sand, and ice, and it could also rapidly heal its allies within.

Even a divine being would struggle to escape its clutches.

Although the Olympian Divine Barrier was not as powerful as the God-Slaying Sword Formation or the Starlight Burst Array, its advantage lay in its ease of setup, and on Earth, it was enough to withstand any Soulmancer.

Garen himself wasn't confident in breaking through the Pantheon Guild's defensive barrier. Now, having stirred up such a situation without clear reason, he felt uneasy as he calmed down.

"Go back and tell your president that our president can break your so-called protective barrier with a single sword strike!"

"Hiding in the mountains is no skill, let your president come out and fight!"

"Yeah, yeah! If they can't even withstand a single strike from our president, they might as well pack up and leave Mount Olympus. What right does the Pantheon Guild have to call themselves the strongest Soulmancer guild?"

...

The members of the Emerald Lion Guild mistakenly believed that Garen had summoned them here to replace the Pantheon Guild, thinking that going to Arcane Village to study was just an excuse.

The clamor from his guild members annoyed Garen, and he couldn't help but shout, "Shut up, all of you!"

The members of the Emerald Lion Guild quickly fell silent, realizing that President Garen probably wanted to legitimately take over the place without being overly conspicuous.

Alexios quickly returned to the Pantheon Guild, interpreting the attitude of the Emerald Lion Guild members as a clear indication of Garen's true intentions.

Talking about studying at the base was just a pretext; it was clear they intended to take over the Pantheon Guild and claim the title of the number one Guild.

Soulmancers are often individuals who have lived for many centuries, especially in the Pantheon Guild, where some Elders have existed for two to three thousand years.

With age, people often care less about material gains or losses, but their reputation becomes paramount.

The full-scale attack by the Emerald Lion Guild was undoubtedly an insult to the entire Pantheon Guild.

After Alexios reported the situation truthfully, the upper echelons of the Pantheon Guild were furious!

In the grand hall of the Pantheon Guild, the Guild President and ten Elders gathered. One of the Council Elders, Ilias, spoke coldly, "The mere Emerald Lion Guild dares to provoke us on Mount Olympus? It seems our Pantheon Guild has been too low-key these years, making some think we are weak and easily bullied."

Since the Pantheon Guild's president, Ares, who is ranked first among human powerhouses, was often busy fighting against powerful beings from various dimensions and battling top-tier Mutated creatures, the guild's affairs were managed by the acting president, Andreas.

Acting President Andreas remained calm, saying, "Garen seems to have improved his strength over the years, and his arrogance isn't much of a concern. Since he wants to meet me, I shall go and see what he has to say!"

Ilias sneered, "President, a mere Garen is not worthy of your intervention. Let me handle him!"

Alexios quickly interjected, "Ilias, Garen has likely reached the Lesser Deity level by now, and his secret sword technique is terrifying. It would be better for the president to meet him personally."

Previously, the strongest on Earth were at the Quasi-Deity level. Once reaching the Quasi-Deity level and surviving the heavenly tribulation, one could ascend in soul form to the Divine Realm and reshape their body.

However, in recent years, for unknown reasons, there have been no heavenly tribulations, nor has anyone ascended to the Divine Realm.

Andreas had already reached the Quasi-Deity level but had not faced his heavenly tribulation, a fact well known within the Pantheon Guild.

Since then, such individuals have been referred to as being at the Lesser Deity level.

Those who have never been to the Divine Realm do not realize that their so-called Lesser Deity level, without a strong backing in the Divine Realm, would only lead to a life of hard labor.

Whether the path to becoming a deity has an end, no one knows. Earth's Soulmancers only know that the Lesser Deity level represents the pinnacle of worldly strength.

Ilias's aura suddenly erupted, overwhelming Alexios, who struggled to breathe. He laughed, "Lesser Deity level? Is that supposed to be impressive?"

Andreas lifted an eyebrow and smiled, "Stavros, you've been so busy with guild affairs that you might not be aware, but actually, all our Elders have broken through to the Lesser Deity level in the past two years. You've worked hard. From now on, focus on enhancing your own strength. I'll handle the guild affairs."

Among the ten Elders and the president of the Pantheon Guild, except for Alexios, who was too occupied with administrative tasks to improve his strength, everyone else had advanced beyond their previous levels after a surge in Earth's energy.

The world's number one guild indeed has its deep-rooted strength.

Alexios laughed heartily, "President, you really kept me in the dark, I thought you were the only one who had broken through. Now that I know, let's show Garen what the Pantheon Guild's power really means!"

After the surge in Earth's energy, the concentration of energy at Mount Olympus had surpassed any secret realm in the former Divine Realm.

Naturally, the members of the Pantheon Guild advanced faster than those from other guilds.

Moreover, five years ago, the sea god Poseidon personally visited the Pantheon Guild and taught a complete method for Soulmancers to enhance their strength, even giving personal guidance to Andreas.

The Pantheon Guild had returned to its former peak.

If the ten Elders joined forces to set up the Olympian Divine Barrier, unless a Nature Deity from the Divine Realm descended, no one could break the Pantheon Guild's protective barrier.

"Alexios, it seems you were also annoyed by Garen just now. Come with me, and I'll help you get some revenge." Ilias, who had been practicing for fifteen hundred years and was once considered a prodigious talent shaking the world, was proficient in various secret techniques of the Pantheon Guild and served as a Council Elder, responsible for teaching advanced secret techniques to other guild members.

Apart from the three Supreme Eldersand Andreas, he was the strongest in the Pantheon Guild. Now that someone was challenging the Pantheon Guild, it was natural for him to step forward.

...

Upon reflection, Garen realized that whether he challenged the Pantheon Guild or not, he should at least inform William and see what his stance would be.

William had been watching the playground for a while before he returned to his office to brew a cup of tea and start preparing for his lessons. He had twenty minutes before his first class began.

Although Samuel had provided William with a laptop, William still preferred to write his lesson plans using pen and paper.

As William was getting ready to prepare his lesson plans for the upcoming class, Garen arrived at the doorway of the teachers' office. The other members of the Emerald Lion Guild were waiting on the school playground.

There were other teachers in the office at the time. Garen walked up to the door and saw William engrossed in his writing. He knocked on the door, drawing the curious glances of the other teachers, and William looked up briefly.

"Mr. Johnson, may I have a word?" Garen stood at the doorway, not entering, as William hadn't invited him in. At this point, Garen was still unsure of William's opinion on the matter.

"Vice Principal Garen, just come in, why stand there?" Dexter said with a smile, though his smile carried a somewhat profound meaning.

To him, Garen's demeanor was somewhat like that of a greasy middle-aged man courting his beloved, yet still trying to appear gentlemanly.

Damn, two guys, really?

Seeing Garen's ingratiating manner...
