Chapter 611 Benevolent but Lethal
While Yale and the others were dealing with the matter about Lily and Bashi, Ange, who was hoping to meet them in her travel, was busy healing some immortals that were hurt by what seemed the collateral damage of a battle between at least two Gods. They were lucky enough to survive because they weren't the target of the attacks, but it was extremely dangerous anyway.
Ange didn't even know in what universe she was, but it was in her nature helping injured people, so she went to help them without thinking about it two times.
She even resurrected a woman who died moments before she managed to start healing them. Those actions were enough to have the whole group venerate her.
The group was big, but Ange didn't need too much effort to heal them since she was a Great Goddess while the others just immortals. The most troublesome was resurrecting the deceased one, but since it had just died, she still managed to do it.
That wasn't the first time Ange did things like that, but she wasn't as skilled as Yale resurrecting others, so she was more restricted than him in that aspect.
However, since she helped everyone she saw instead of just those related to her, she was far more famous than Yale among immortals. After all, Yale mainly resurrected those related to him or members of the Council of Gods, so he wasn't really known by unrelated immortals.
On the other hand, Ange was really famous. Although no one knew her identity, the rumors about a mysterious Goddess that helped everyone in need had already spread through several universes.
Ange herself wasn't aware of those rumors, but she had never been someone who cared about fame.
After she finished healing that group, she was about to leave that universe. Usually, those from Alrein's Universe needed to rely on the existing passageways created by Yale, which in most situations forced roundabouts to go to other universes since Yale had connected a lot of them with Alrein's Universe and other universes closely related to him. However, he didn't create many passageways between other universes unless the owners of those universes asked him to do it.
Ange was merely traveling without a target, so she really didn't care about her destination universe, but Yale still gifted her an artifact to cross between universes without the need of an existing passageway.
That artifact could easily be considered priceless even by members of the Council of Gods, but Yale had only created one for Ange.
It wasn't easy to craft, so he didn't plan to give any to members of the Council of Gods. He might think about making another one to some of his family members or disciples, but only if they were as strong as Ange and wanted to roam the multiverse.
If they weren't that strong, they were better just roaming universes Yale knew, which mostly were related to members of the Council of Gods, so they were relatively safer than other universes.
Anyway, it wasn't an artifact easy to use since one needed to be at least a Great God to use it. Most Great Gods learn how to open passageways with time and effort, although they couldn't open them as easy as Yale could, so the artifact was suited only for Great Gods that were still unable to open passageways. However, the number of Great Gods in that stage was a lot, so it was an extremely useful item to give them.
Moreover, using the artifact was quicker than opening a passageway manually, Ange was able to open passageways on her own, but she was still unskilled on it, so she needed several days relying just on her power, but with the artifact, she would only use some seconds to open one.
After all, those universes were all of the highest levels, and travel among them wasn't as easy as doing it in those at universes with immortal levels as the limit.
Ange would need to restrain her power to go to those universes, and there was a risk to altering them too much, so she chose to go only to the highest leveled ones, which were also the ones where immortals needed to struggle the most since there were far stronger existences than them, so Ange's help was more needed.
Just as Ange opened the passageway, she heard a voice.
"Stop there, miss. You have an interesting artifact there."
Ange turned back and looked at the person who spoke.
A man with the aura of a Great God. He was strong, but he wasn't someone Ange feared.
"This artifact is a gift from my father, and it is bound to me. It is useless in the hands of anyone else, and even if you kill me, nothing will change."
Obviously, Yale wouldn't give Ange such a valuable item without taking some measures. There were a lot of greedy Great Gods, but usually, they wouldn't harm others without benefit. If they could steal the item, they might attack, but if they couldn't use it, they wouldn't take a risk for nothing.
It wasn't just that Ange was a Great Goddess herself, but the fact that her father made the artifact implied that she had a huge background. Usually, a Great God wouldn't want problems with someone like that without a proper reason.
"True, it is bound, what a pity."
Once he concentrated on the item, he could see that Ange was telling the truth.
"However, there is an easy solution. You become mine, and your things are also mine. I only need to order you to use them. Isn't it smart? Come on, I have a place on my harem for you."
The man moved towards Ange with a smile on his face. After observing Ange, he found that he liked her. He loved to pick gentle girls and exhaust them until they seemed expressionless dolls and just lived to fulfill his orders.
In fact, he was famous for his lecherous behavior, he had a reason for almost any type of woman, but no one ended well at his hands.
"Why that face? You don't like me, but that doesn't matter. Do you know who I am? Soon my organization will destroy that damned Council of Gods, and we will rule the whole multiverse. You are that Goddess from the rumors, right? The one who goes everywhere healing weaklings. I have heard that you can resurrect those who die in front of you, and my organization will welcome this for the war. Being my toy is your pleasure and your obligation. Submit to me now."
The hand of the man almost reached Ange's body, but she had yet to move or speak.
In the eyes of the lecherous man, Ange was the type of gentle girl that couldn't harm others no matter how evil they were. In the end, he discovered that being forceful on those women was the best way to get them for his purposes.
He didn't lie regarding being a member of the rebels of the Council of Gods, but his position wasn't important inside the organization. After all, he was a Great God, and there were True Gods there. Moreover, he was too focused on getting women that he never contributed too much to the organization besides stealing women related to members of the Council of Gods to put them into his harem forcefully. After enough training, they turned into faithful slaves without a will and were used to attack the member of the Council of Gods related to them.
Thus, the fame of that man among the members of the Council of Gods was among the worse, he wasn't too liked even in his own organization.
He didn't know that Ange was Yale's daughter, or he would be far more excited. Although he received orders to not mess with the Council of Gods until the war started, it wasn't as if he cared about rules.
Just as he was a centimeter away from Ange's body, he stopped moving.
At that moment, Ange was wielding a huge scythe on her hands, and the man in front of her had the head detached from his body.
Moreover, the man's soul dissipated at the same moment as the scythe cut his head.
On the usually gentle face of Ange, there was a cold expression that resembled a lot of Lina's icy cold expression on the past before meeting Yale.
Ange didn't like to battle and harm others, but like her master, she learned that sometimes killing the opponent was a must to protect others.
That man was trash just from his intentions, but he declared that his organization would destroy the Council of Gods, and Ange knew that both of her parents were members.
Thus, he needed to die. Ange might be gentle towards almost everyone, but the enemies of her parents weren't included there. If someone wanted to harm her family, she could turn from a benevolent Goddess into an evil demon.
However, she would still kill her enemies as quickly as possible. Things like torturing her opponents didn't fit well with her, no matter how much she hated them.
That time the enemy wasn't weak enough to die in one hit, but he underestimated Ange too much and never thought that she would be so lethal and decisive.
A light flew from her deceased opponent towards her.
"A membership of the Council of Gods. Given what I just heard, I wonder if my parents will be happy or angry."
