William brought the actors from Blizzard City to their respective places, letting them develop on their own before heading straight back to District 3.
It had been ten days since Alice had been pursued.
Ares and his beloved dog, Sparta, squatted in a dark corner, utterly bored.
Nearly all the elite of the Nature Deity rank in the entire Divine Realm had converged on this area, sealing it off completely.
Alice was still hiding inside an alchemy furnace.
Within a five-mile radius of the furnace, trees were destroyed, the ground was pockmarked, and attacks on the furnace continued unabated.
William approached Ares and asked, "Has she really been hiding in there for nine days?"
Ares, startled, turned his head to see William and quickly replied, "Master, Alice has been hiding inside all this time, not daring to show her head. But I think if she comes out now, she'd probably be killed by everyone."
