Some of the "demigods" were even sitting by the roadside, engrossed in something on their mobile phones.

Though the town was enveloped in an aura of death, the inhabitants seemed amiable.

Scanning his surroundings, Nelson whispered with a troubled expression, "The people around here are all at the demigod level, and it seems they are all users of the dark powers…"

Upon hearing this, Wes's face turned pale. With at least thirty individuals nearby all at the demigod level and wielding dark powers, who could possibly stand against such odds?

"You are Soulmancers, aren't you?" A young-looking demigod slowly approached them, stating, "If you have no business here, don't linger in our town. It now belongs to us."

"Belongs to you?" Zoey inquired, "Who's in charge here?"

The young demigod asked, "Do you have a purpose here?"

"I am the Director of the 13th Bureau from the mortal realm," Zoey responded, her demeanor challenging. "You demons possessing so many human bodies must provide an explanation." Realizing the anomaly of the town and harnessing the power of her Warrior God Constitution, she added, "With so many 'demigods' descending, if you were to commit crimes, it would be a calamity for the entire world."

"An explanation? What kind of explanation do you seek?" The child-like demigod sneered, "Had it not been for our leader's order prohibiting needless killing, you'd already be dead."

As he spoke, a few onlookers began to gather around them. The others, busy constructing houses, paid no heed to the ongoing confrontation.

In their eyes, there was likely no one in the world who could run wild in their town. While Hades had decreed they shouldn't harm the innocent, those who actively provoked them were a different story.

Zoey, known for her fiery temper, clenched her fist, preparing for a fight.

Quick to react, Wes swiftly grabbed her, urging, "Hold on, sis! Let me handle this."

Their previous encounter with Seraphina had been a tough one. That was just against one "demigod". Now, with over thirty "demigods" nearby and despite having Nelson with them, they stood little chance in a fight.

Zoey quickly regained her composure, realizing the odds. Fighting over thirty "demigods" would likely end in defeat, unless she deployed her devastating move, the Cosmic Palm.

Although the original version of the Cosmic Palm has immense power, its activation speed is too slow. Moreover, it's a test for her soul energy. These people won't stand within range like they did during the duel in Ravenwood, waiting for the palm imprint to fall. The opponent would surely have escaped by then.

The young "demigod" glanced at Wes and said, "You're quite sensible for a kid. I don't want to bully the weaker, so if you have business to discuss, head to the Taylor residence."

Although he appeared as a child, having returned to the mortal realm once again, his demonic soul had lived for several centuries, if not a millennium.

"Yes, yes, of course. You are generous. Please forgive our intrusion," Wes responded, having become more diplomatic under Steven's guidance. He then took Zoey's arm, leading her towards the Taylor family mansion.

They didn't take a vehicle, choosing to walk the distance.

As they went, Nelson became increasingly alarmed. He realized that everyone they encountered in the town seemed to be of demigod strength, their authentic aura undeniable.

"Wes... everyone in this town possesses the strength of demigods!" Nelson felt a chill, deeply unsettled by this revelation. On their journey alone, they had already encountered hundreds.

With so many "demigods," had they started a fight earlier, wouldn't they have been torn to pieces?

Zoey might be unparalleled in combat, but it depends on who she's up against!

Facing hundreds of "demigods," even with her prowess, she'd surely be overwhelmed. Coupled with Nelson, a high-level Soulmancer, they would be walking into a deathtrap.

Hearing Nelson's words, Wes felt a cold shiver run from his feet to his head. This was terrifying.

Along the way, they even encountered former colleagues, now possessed by these demons. Yet, facing this situation, Wes felt helpless. contemporary romance

Could mortal laws possibly govern demons?

Considering the number of "demigods" in the town, even if they summoned the entire 13th Bureau, all Soulmancer organizations, and an additional hundred thousand fully-equipped elite troops, they still might not stand a chance.

Having worked in the 13th Bureau for over thirty years, this was the first time Wes genuinely felt fear.

The situation they were now in was beyond what they could handle. He was even unsure how to proceed once they reached the Taylor residence.

If negotiations failed, they might not make it out of Maplewood Town alive.

However, among their group, Wes seemed to be the only one harboring such fears.

Zoey, the young woman, didn't seem to know what fear even meant.

Alice and Nelson both felt that as long as William was by their side, it seemed that there weren't any major problems.

As for William...

He was pondering a rather profound question.

No matter why these demons descended to the human world, he genuinely appreciated the current peaceful society and wouldn't allow them to disrupt the social order.

Yet, he wasn't keen on engaging in a massacre.

After all, the townsfolk had already been possessed by these demons. These "demigods" bore him no significant grudge, and the actions of the child earlier weren't excessive, merely warning them against entering the town. When Wes proposed a discussion, the child had even pointed them in the right direction.

William wasn't inclined to resort to violence either.

In a peaceful society, coexistence is key.

However, the attitudes of these "demigods" were now rather arrogant. If Wes and the others approached with this demeanor, there probably wouldn't be much to discuss.

Should the weak demand the strong to abide by their rules?

Wasn't that a joke?

William felt that a quote from the modern scientist Robert Oppenheimer was quite apt.

"There is a difference between not having a bomb and having a bomb but choosing not to use it."

For a nation to maintain peace, it must have a robust military force.

At this point, as Wes sought to negotiate with the "demigods," hoping they would respect current laws and regulations, the same principle applied.

If you can't defeat them, what grounds do you have for discussing this?

If they don't comply, what will you do? Beg them on your knees?

Hmm, perhaps a bit of deterrence might work!

William had an idea. Let Wes discuss with them first. If things can be settled through discussion, so be it,if not, force would be the next step.

As for facing thousands of "demigods," William didn't see it as a big deal.

If deterrence doesn't work, William believed he might need to eliminate them directly. He didn't want this group to disrupt his comfortable life.

Either obey the current laws or face death!
