'Sun Wukong,' William thought as he firmly gripped the Monkey King's hand. The latter then helped him to stand on his own two feet before looking at the Celestial Army that had reformed their ranks.
Clearly, they wouldn't allow William to pass through the gate without a fight.
"Kid, I'll take care of the small fries, but you will have to take care of that one over there, okay?" Sun Wukong twirled the golden staff in his hand and pointed at Lugh who stood in front of the Heavenly Gate like a gatekeeper.
"Okay," William readily agreed.
Sun Wukong patted his shoulder in a casual manner. "Relax, I'll lend you my power when you fight against him. As long as this King is around, you don't have to worry about anything."
Sun Wukong pulled a few hairs from his head and gave William a wink before blowing them off his hand. These strands of hair flew in the air for a brief moment before transforming into exact replicas of the Monkey King.
