novelSecret Meaning of the Broken Bottleneck
| ← Ch.560 | Ch.562 → |
A whole country was eradicated in an instant, and those living there were cursed to a fate worse than death.
It wasn't unexpected that a member of the Council of Gods was able to do it, but still, it wasn't something easy to accept.
After all, the Sacred Empire wasn't weak at all, which meant that the same could happen to any other country if a member of the Council of Gods wished it.
Of course, God's Punishment was something that couldn't be used without reason, so as long as they didn't offend a member of the Council of Gods or broke a rule, they wouldn't need to fear.
However, just seeing that there were people that could finish them that easily was enough to make them feel powerless despite knowing about it beforehand.
However, only those without a relationship with Yale sensed fear.
Tenir was even jumping around like a kid when he saw the end of the Sacred Empire.
"Finally! Finally! They deserved it! Without any doubt, that has been a good end for them! I finally escaped from this damn loop, and everyone had been avenged!"
Tenir had been freed from the time loop since the deal had been completed once Yale executed God's Punishment.
Although Tenir hadn't killed them personally, there wasn't a Sacred Empire anymore, and Tenir help had indeed been important for Yale, who used God's Punishment on them. Thus, Tenir completed the deal he made with Great God Kroh.
Jika and Dan also saw the scene, but although they hated the Sacred Empire, their reasons weren't too profound since it was just due to the man they had met on the passageway.
However, they were still delighted seeing how Yale turned the whole country into ice. After all, Yale was their adoptive father and their master, so they liked seeing how strong he was.
There was also joy on the Weapon Spirit Tribe.
"This Lar obtained a really good meal. I bet that she will reach ninth level immortal once she digests them."
Awat didn't miss how many souls Lar had absorbed, and he spent a lot of time with her when Yale was training there, so he was happy for her.
She could only upgrade her level by eating souls, so Yale could only give her souls, using his crafting skills to upgrade her was useless, and the same applied to her training on her own.
If that weren't the case, Yale would have helped her to reach ninth level immortal before, but he wouldn't kill innocent people just to feed Lar, and weak people were useless anyway.
"She will be benefited a lot, but there is something more important than that. Someone finally surpassed the bottleneck of the Minor Time Divinity. I don't know which level he reached, but it doesn't matter. I remember that long ago, I told you about what happens in this case, and you said that you already knew."
After Mojo spoke, Awat nodded.
"Oh, right! I remember. Taking that into consideration, I think that it is time to stop being neutrals, right?"
Awat didn't think about the matter that he heard when he was with his master because it was something of just too long time ago. In fact, only Mojo and Awat knew since their masters were the strongest of all the masters that the members of the tribe had.
"Any Minor God who traveled a bit should know about this matter. Although this guy used some special method to increase his strength, the fact that his control over time is beyond the bottleneck is a certain thing. Thus, we need him."
Mojo had the brightest smile he had in ages while he spoke.
"You are right. How did I forget about this important matter? As long as someone has reached the Minor Time Divinity bottleneck, death is something reversible even with the dispersion of the soul. However, a person who surpassed that bottleneck is needed, and the resurrected one will lose the capacity of breaking the bottleneck forever."
They needed a master to reach the next level, but neither of them was willing to take a new master. What they wanted was to bring back their masters.
"Remember that even if they resurrect, they would just be ordinary mortals until they reach their previous level and their memories returned. Moreover, while they train before recovering the memories, training anything related to time will be impossible, and the training speed will be that of the worst talent possible on the universe they are. That is a huge price, but it looks cheap in exchange for having the chance to live again."
That method was one that had a lot of problems, but it was the only one. However, until they saw Yale's time aura, the only person who had that capability was Great God Kroh, and they had no way to ask a favor for someone of that level.
In fact, since Yale hadn't reached the Minor Time Divinity despite being beyond the bottleneck, he couldn't do that even in his powered-up state, but there was no way that Awat and Mojo discovered the existence of that strange level.
"Indeed. I still remember the huge ruckus Great God Kroh provoked when he resurrected the lover of another member of the Council of Gods and announced this method. Everyone got motivated to reach the bottleneck of the Minor Time Divinity, and a lot tried to break it, but no one did it until today."
Great God Kroh could resurrect anyone by manipulating the time, and the lover of that member of the Council of Gods hadn0't reached the bottleneck either.
However, that was what Great God Kroh told since he didn0t want to have everyone asking to resurrect others.
That member of the Council of Gods was one of the founders, and the woman he wanted to resurrect was the first person he loved in his life, which he didn't even know how long it had been.
That time, Great God Kroh felt pity for him and thus decided to help.
In fact, after that woman was resurrected, she managed to reach Great God and obtained a place in the Council of Gods. Of course, she didn't need to kill a member, since she was the reason for Great God Kroh uncovering that resurrection method, other members thought that it would be good having her in the Council of Gods.
Although Great God Kroh didn't tell all the truth, it was true that he measured that the Minor Time Divinity should be powerful enough to resurrect someone who reached the bottleneck.
Moreover, no matter if Great God Kroh was resurrecting someone or someone with a recent breakthrough did it. It would be impossible for the resurrected one to obtain more time control than before dying.
However, those with erased existences couldn't be resurrected since they weren't dead but erased.
Of course, that only mattered to resurrections. Altering the timeline to make that someone didn't die or wasn't erased in the past was a completely different thing.
Yale didn't know about anything regarding that topic, but all the members of the Council of Gods observing knew it.
At that moment, some of them just wanted to descend and try to obtain Yale's favor in the case that they need to resurrect someone one day. After all, it was obvious that it was easier to befriend Yale than Great God Kroh, who wouldn't resurrect someone without wanting to do it, no matter the price or favors offered in exchange.
However, they remembered that Great God Kroh had forbidden to interact with him even if it was for something positive, so they decided to stop thinking about that until one day, Yale himself met them.
At that moment, they felt that they knew why Great God Kroh acted like that since they believed that a newbie member of the Council of Gods would be easy to coerce to help them for free if the ones asking were other members, and they were sure that someone would have tried that kind of approach instead of the normal one.
Of course, that was also wrong because Yale hadn't mastered it at that time, nor Great God Kroh spoke with that intention.
However, the barrier of Alter Yale blocked the perception of other members, so they didn't know if there was a time aura or not.
Without knowing the ruckus that he had provoked with his time aura, Yale felt that he was reaching his limit.
"I am exhausted, but I still need to repay a favor."
Knowing that his power was about to drop, Yale decided to use his last power to repay the favor that Alrein did when he allowed him to sue the power of the universe. Yale noticed that Alrein should have agreed to it to have absorbed it so easily.
Of course, he also returned the power he used from his universe with a bit of interest, but the one that really benefited from it was Alrein's universe because they gave far more, so Yale also give them more interest.
If the universe was near to ascension before Yale using that power, once Yale repaid it, the universe started the ascension process.
The process of the ascension of a universe was slow, but once it started, unless the universe owner died, the ascension wouldn't stop.
The last thing Yale did before falling unconscious was setting up the time flow of the Storage Space at the slowest and jumped inside.
