Chapter 605 Sealed Universe
"Now, I think that you should tell me about exactly what will the disciples need to do."
Yale didn't think that they would battle against each other because that was too straightforward, and the strength in something like a tournament wouldn't show how well taught the disciples were.
"They will need to explore a certain universe. It is sealed so that no member of the Council of Gods can enter without authorization, and it is highly possible that it is an important place for our enemies. The disciples will need to gather information about that universe. Those who contribute the most to the future war with their actions there will be awarded more points, and the ranking will be decided based on those points."
The punctuation method was quite shady, but that was obviously the aim of the one who purposed it.
A method like that was better to alter the rankings at will without being too obvious than something like a tournament.
"So, our rankings will be decided by the actions of our disciples in that universe. I guess that we can only send one disciple. They won't let me have that kind of advantage."
Given how many disciples Yale had, he would be able to reach the top just based on sheer numbers if he was allowed to send as many as he wanted.
"Indeed, we can only send one disciple."
There was no way the Council of Gods would allow to send as many as possible. After all, with a little sum of points for each one, the total would be huge.
"We can only send one disciple, and we get points for the actions of the disciples we have in that universe. No doubt about this, right?"
Kabur and Glorianna nodded, but hey felt that there was no need for that confirmation.
"Great. Can you tell me where that universe is? I guess that for the day we send the disciple, someone would need to open a passageway for them, but it is easier if I send them all in one go. It will also be more difficult to detect by the natives of that universe."
In fact, from the start, the Council of Gods planned to ask Yale to send everyone, and he would also be in charge of bringing them back. That important responsibility was also proof that they didn't want to antagonize him and the Time Faction.
Moreover, Yale would be in control of the lives of all the disciples because he would be the only one who could save them in a dangerous situation by pulling them off from that universe.
Even if someone died, they also planned to ask Yale to resurrect them since the death would have happened in an activity of the Council of Gods. Of course, they preferred if Yale could pull them off before they died.
"Sure. This has been the plan from the start. They also want to ask you to take care of the disciples."
When Yale heard Kabur's words, he smiled. Others were planning to put him to work, but he didn't like to work for free.
When Kabur sent him the location of the universe, he also explained what the others wanted him to do, and it was within what he expected.
However, he was planning to reject resurrecting anyone who wasn't a disciple of his allies. He could save them, but then he would ask the right to pull them off at his own discretion, or he wouldn't take the responsibility of saving them.
If he could decide who remained and who left, he could control the situation far more than what the others wanted. After all, if Yale could resurrect them, he would only be allowed to pull them off when the master of that disciple considered it, but if he rejected resurrections, the others would be forced to comply with his conditions.
Regarding that sealed universe, Yale could notice that it rejected him, but Yale was the Dimensional God, the first in obtaining the True Dimensional Divinity. It didn't matter if the universe wanted him or not, he could enter anyway, and no one would notice about it.
"Sending them will be easy."
Yale didn't mention that he could enter immediately, but he had already sent an incarnation there to investigate that universe beforehand.
There wasn't a single Great God or True God in that universe when Yale sent the incarnation, so although it was probably an important part of the plan, destroying that universe wouldn't help.
The lackeys didn't matter, what was important was to catch the ones giving orders.
"As expected of someone nicknamed the Dimensional God. The others couldn't open a passageway there, even working together."
As long as one was a member of the Council of Gods, even opening a passageway or others would be almost an impossible task.
Yale didn't hear Gloriana's praise because he was focused on his incarnation, and he really didn't care about being praised.
"Kid, what happened here?"
Yale's incarnation reached a planet where he found a kid crying in front of his mother's corpse. He had noticed that the planet spoke a language that was quite widespread through the multiverse.
"My mother died like my father, my brother, and my sister. Everyone dies here! I am sure I will also die without knowing how!"
There was only one corpse. The others had died long ago, but there wasn't any apparent reason.
Seeing the kid's state, Yale decided to resurrect his mother, who was just a mortal, so it was effortless for him.
However, he couldn't do it. The result was the same as when he tried to resurrect a True God, but it was happening with a mortal.
Yale immediately scanned the planet and found a lot of people who had died without an apparent reason, but all of them were the same as that kid's mother, and Yale couldn't resurrect them.
"Now, this is interesting. It seems that I discovered what those bastards are trying to hide."
When he scanned the planet, he noticed something else besides the huge number of deaths without any apparent reason.
It was that everyone alive was enormously talented to the point that even members of the Council of Gods would try to take them as disciples, but they were all mortals no matter the age they had.
There was no way that it happened naturally. That planet was obviously some experiments to increase talents, and it seemed that the one who died was because they were unable to improve more, and their souls dissipated.
Moreover, those deaths had the same effect as the death of a True God.
"I need to test this thing before the disciples came. I can't allow it to happen otherwise."
Yale was sure that the Council of Gods didn't expect something like that. If it wasn't for Yale sending an incarnation beforehand, it was likely that a lot of disciples would have died without a chance of being resurrected, and Yale would have been blamed like Kroh was in the past.
Anyway, Yale was already considering that something like that could happen someday since it happened once at the Gods Calamity, so he had been planning to reject resurrections from the beginning. The worst was when others thought for sure that he would resurrect anyone anytime.
"Kid, I can't do anything for your dead family, but I can do something for you. If you become my disciple, I will help you to survive."
Yale wanted to learn what his enemies had been investigating, and especially how to counter it.
If those deaths apparently without reason were to happen somewhere else and applied not to mortals but to people at any level without a chance of resurrecting, the multiverse was doomed.
"I pay my respects, master."
The kid agreed in an instant. He had heard rumors that some kids were taken as disciples by mysterious people, and they left that land of death alive. As for when those kids went, he didn't know.
Of course, the ones taking them were Yale's enemies, but there was no way the kid could differentiate between them and Yale. He just wanted to be saved and didn't know anything about the conflicts among Gods.
"Very well. From now on, you will call me Master Liye. As long as you don't betray me, I won't let you die."
Yale had been planning to take a disciple form the start. There was a loophole in the rules. He could only send one disciple, but the points that counted were from disciples in that universe, so there was no problem if he accepted a disciple directly in that universe.
Since the members of the Council of Gods couldn't enter that universe, no one thought about that matter, but Yale was planning to exploit it.
Moreover, as a native of that universe, it would be easier for that kid to work as Yale's spy than someone who appeared from nowhere.
Yale was also planning to disguise and act as if he was one of the rebels. Just the fact that he was inside that universe would be reason enough for the others. As long as Yale didn't use strange divinities like the Time Divinity or the Dimensional Divinity, he believes that the other wouldn't be able to discover his identity.
"As I expected since I heard about Kroh's past, a second calamity is unavoidable. Moreover, this place is really important. Let's see how those bastards deal with being attacked from inside and outside simultaneously."
