novelThe Disciples of the Time Faction
| ← Ch.600 | Ch.602 → |
"Barha, since you are taking Wyba as your disciple, it means that you will be my ally no matter how the hierarchy would be decided. I definitely wouldn't allow you to use Wyba as a shield to hinder me."
Although Yale could allow Wyba to participate as long as it wasn't too deadly, he wouldn't allow Wyba to be used as a hostage to make him surrender. If Barha tried something like that, Yale would kill Barha without a doubt.
"Of course! Yaleyale and Wywy are my allies!"
Barha never even thought about using Wyba in that way. She wasn't adept at scheming and was straightforward with whatever she wanted to do.
"Then, I leave Wyba in your hands. Wyba has responsibilities here, so try to come often."
Yale knew that Barha didn't like to remain in the same place for too long, so he didn't dare to ask her to stay there.
"Of course. This country has a lot of cuties, so I plan to come often."
Barha never thought about creating a country full of cute girls, so she was delighted when she observed the country that Wyba made.
"Wyba behave well. If something happens, call me, I will appear there in an instant."
Although Yale couldn't monitor the whole multiverse permanently, he had left marks in everyone he wanted to protect, so in case that they were in danger, he would know immediately, no matter where they were.
"I know."
Wyba just said that before Barha dragged her to another place, leaving Yale behind. After all, Wyba would have needed too long to bid Yale farewell, so Barha thought that it was better being quick.
Yale didn't try to stop them or follow them because he knew that it was better in that way. Wyba would never be strong if she always hid behind Yale's back.
She improved a lot while she had been alone, but once she knew that Yale was with her again, she stopped making important progress on her training. Otherwise, she would have already been a Great God instead of a ninth level immortal.
"I guess that now I need to report this to Alrein and Kroh."
Yale spoke, but there wasn't any reply. Since everything started, they didn't dare to say a word, and they remained like that until Yale disappeared.
After all, they knew that they weren't qualified to speak when powerful beings were speaking. In fact, they were unable to hear anything since Yale isolated the sound from the start.
Some matters were harmful to know without enough strength. Yale had known that for a lot of time, so he didn't plan to trouble weaklings by letting them hear more than they should.
"We need to speak."
Yale's body just returned to his house, but his mind had gone to the Timeless Border while dragging the minds of Alrein and Kroh there.
That was the quickest and most secretive method to contact them.
Kroh and Alrein knew that Yale wouldn't call them without a proper reason, so they stayed silent waiting to hear whatever Yale needed to tell them.
"A war will happen in the future. The Council of Gods started to plan a competition among disciples to decide the hierarchy we will use in the war. They are hiding this from those who weren't in the last meeting, but I managed to get the information from Barha. I don't know a lot of details, but those disciples should have been admitted before they reached godship."
As for exactly when in the future, Yale knew that it wasn't that Barha forgot, she never knew it. After all, the flow of time in different universes wasn't constant, so speaking about years was useless.
It was just that since she wasn't paying attention, she believed that she had forgotten it.
"Cheap tricks to avoid that we stand at the top."
Kroh was used to the extreme selfishness of the members of the Council of Gods. However, for strong beings like them, it was normal being selfish and didn't want that others could decide for them.
"I bet that they also put some righteous words to make it seem like the fairest option to decide it since they knew that they can't win if they battled with us. They are still underestimating us. Who among us doesn't have a strong disciple that meets the criteria?"
When Alrein spoke, Yale looked toward him.
"Do you also have disciples that meet the criteria?"
Yale was worrying the most about Alrein since he didn't know if he had disciples.
"How cruel! If you don't remember, you also accepted a piece of the legacy I left behind after the war started, so even you can count as my disciple if I want. I doubt that using a member of the Council of Gods is allowed, but at least you should know that I have other options!"
When Yale thought about it, his face changed.
"Don't speak nonsense. I was born with that legacy inherited from my mother, I never accepted it. Instead, say that you imposed it on me. Anyway, I tell you that I am bringing Shiba with me. I accepted him as a disciple before he obtained a fragment of your legacy."
Others accepted the pieces of legacy willingly, but Yale never did it, he had inherited it before being born.
"True."
Alrein had forgotten Yale's case, but it wasn't like if he cared a lot about it. He just created those fragments of a legacy because he felt that he needed to do it.
"Let me say that Kanai is my only disciple, so I am bringing her. I know that she is also your disciple but choose someone else."
Kroh was very picky with disciples, so after finally having one, there was no way that Alrein could steal her.
"I know. I wasn't planning to bring her with me, don't worry."
Although Kanai was a disciple more formal than others who just had a fragment of the legacy, Alrein wasn't cruel enough to steal Kroh's only disciple.
"Then, are you planning to bring my wife with you? My father and Gerken are just Minor Gods, but my wife is a Great God."
Logically speaking, Lina was the only option left to Alrein based on those who owned a fragment of legacy in the past. There was no way that choosing Aknarel or Gerken was better.
"No, I am not so evil to pick someone else's wife to a potentially dangerous job. Kroh is evil enough to pick your mother, but I will only pick Astel. He is very strong, and I was the one who taught him how to train."
Kroh glared Alrein after hearing those words. Kanai was Kroh's only option, it didn't mean that Kroh was evil.
"Alrein, that Astel you mean, knowing that isn't me, it is my great grandfather. You are not that different than Kroh. Barha is the same, why everyone wants my family to join this stupid competition. Although now that I think it, Shiba is my brother-in-law since he married Eini while I married Lina. Let's forget about it..."
Yale was starting to feel that the competition would be more like a family meeting than anything else if everything continued like that.
"Well, if they are family members, it means more people at our side."
Alrein knew very well that there was no way that Yale would allow his family to become enemies, so they could only be allies.
Even if a member of the Council of Gods chose someone Yale knew as a disciple to train and bring to the competition, it should mean that they wanted to be on the side of the Time Faction.
Alrein didn't want to believe that someone would be stupid enough to use them as hostages to threaten them because that was just a death wish.
Yale and Alrein had already shown how crazy could they become if others angered them, so anyone who dared to anger them could only be deemed as a fool.
"Indeed, but I still prefer that my family and friends aren't involved too much. Anyway, if they decide to join on their own, I won't stop them either."
Although Yale didn't want to trouble them, being taught by a member of the Council of Gods was a great chance for almost anyone.
If some of his friends of his family decided to follow a member of the Council of Gods to train, he wouldn't object.
As for Kanai, Shiba, and Astel, they needed to join since they were the best choices for Kroh, Yale, and Alrein.
"Contact us if something else happens. Now, we should return to give a special training to our chosen disciples."
After Kroh spoke, the three left the Timeless Border.
Yale immediately teleported to Shiba's place.
Although Shiba had spent years traveling through universes in the past, he had returned long ago after having become a Great God.
"Shiba, I need your help."
Shiba was surprised when yale appeared, but that wasn't the first time Yale appeared in front of him without previous notice.
"I am always ready to help you, master."
No matter how many years passed, Shiba was still grateful to his master, and wouldn't reject any request as long as he could do it.
"The Council of Gods will hold a competition using the disciples of the members. You are my best disciple, so you are coming with me. For now, I will train you personally to increase your power as a Great God."
