Chapter 565 Demigod

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Several hours later, everyone left the room.

Since Yale didn't have any urgent matter at that moment, he decided to reside in the palace for some time.

However, he didn't plan to sleep at all because he felt that he had already slept too much.

Instead, he went to a training room and started to test how to restrain his strength.

After all, it would be a problem if he broke dimensional walls each time that he used Lar.

Of course, Yale planned to reinforce the training room first before starting, or he feared to destroy part of the city.

He also thought about using the Storage Space, but even after the improvement, the stability couldn't be compared with the one outside.

"Can I enter?"

When Yale was starting to prepare the reinforcement, he heard Tenir's voice from the other side of the door.

Yale didn't know what Tenir wanted, but he agreed anyway.

"What happens?"

When Tenir heard those words, he replied immediately.

"I want to serve you. The Sacred Empire left me with nothing, and I don't have any purpose right now. Thus, I want to use this life to help you, benefactor."

Tenir had thought a lot about it, and he knew that serving his benefactor was what he wanted to do.

"If that is what you want, I won't forbid it to you, but if you someday want to leave, just tell me."

Yale didn't plan to reject since Tenir seemed the type that once deciding something, he wouldn't change his mind.

"Thank you very much. Is there something I can help you with?"

Yale couldn't understand those with such an obsession to serve others.

"Well, do you understand about politics?"

Tenir nodded.

"Yes. I was in charge of a lot of things under our Goddess. Of course, she wasn't really Goddess, but we all considered her like one."

Yale was planning to entrust Tenir some tedious work, so he liked the reply.

"Perfect. From now on, you are the prime minister. I don't like politics, and Wyba doesn't like it either, so you are in charge of all the bureaucracy."

Yale didn't mind being a ruler, a king, or a God, but he really hated politics, so he was glad to have someone doing that part for him.

"By the way, tell me more about that Goddess of yours. I know that she wasn't a real Goddess, just a universe creator, but your eyes shine when you speak about her."

He didn't mind if Tenir replied or not; he just felt that it was an interesting topic.

"Of course. I remember her perfectly. She was very gentle and always helped others without expecting anything in exchange. However, she wasn't good governing others for that same reason, so she always entrusted that to others, like me."

Tenir stopped for a moment before continuing.

"She was very strong despite her gentle personality, but she wasn't able to defeat the invasion and died before my universe was destroyed. She tried to save everyone in exchange for her own life, but even being a Demigod wasn't enough to stop those maniacs."

Anger appeared on Tenir's eyes, but after he remembered that the Sacred Empire didn't exist anymore, he returned to normal.

"Demigod? Didn't you call her Goddess before? Did others considered her a Demigod despite being an immortal?"

That word was the one Lar suggested for their new levels, so it caught Yale's attention.

"Of course not! We all called her Goddess, but she was a real Demigod. Don't be confused; Demigod is a status more than a level. Even a mortal can be a Demigod. In fact, you can only become a Demigod while being a mortal."

Yale felt that Tenir was talking about something very different to the new level.

"When a mortal fuse with part of the soul of someone who reached godship, that person becomes a Demigod. I heard that the fusion has high chances of failure, and it means death for the mortal. The other part will also have problems due to breaking part of his soul regardless of the outcome."

Although the topic was interesting, Yale didn't believe that doing that had benefits for the one splitting a part of the soul.

"A Demigod is stronger than anyone else on the same level, but at the same time, the difficulty of leveling up is far greater. In fact, despite having a longer lifespan, Demigods usually die before reaching immortality, so our Goddess was very impressive."

Stronger base power on each level in exchange with difficulty seemed similar to the differences of Paths, but training the Origin Path was several million times easier than reaching immortality as a Demigod.

"Of course, all of this is just what I heard from my Goddess, so I don't know how accurate it is. She learned it from the Goddess that turned her into a Demigod."

Since creating a Demigod only had bad points for the one splitting a part of the soul, it wasn't something usual, and usually, most people didn't know about them at all since most died before being strong enough to be known.

"Why that Goddess didn't avenge your Goddess? If she made a great sacrifice to help her, I don't understand why she hadn't tried to avenge her or at least tried to save her."

Even a Great God wouldn't dare to split a part of his soul to gift without a good reason, so Yale felt that there must be a close relationship between those two.

"She can't because she died the same day, she gave the remaining part of her soul to our Goddess."

That was something that Yale didn't expect to hear.

"Our Goddess was just a little poor orphan girl when she met that Goddess. She had suffered great injuries, and her soul was dissipating, so there wasn't anything that a little girl like her could do to save her, but our Goddess still tried everything to save her even though that meant that she couldn't eat for days..."

Tenir seemed quite sad while speaking. He learned those things from an old diary he read without the Goddess's consent.

He just found an old diary and thought that reading it would help him to know who the owner was, but he never expected that it was from his Goddess. Anyway, the Goddess wasn't angry when she discovered it and just thanked him for returning it.

"Seeing the weak body of our Goddess on her young days, and how much she tried to heal her while forgetting about her own heath, the injured Goddess decided to gift all her remaining power to her. She told that out Goddess remembered her a lot her own past self, and since she was going to die anyway, she decided to die earlier to give her that power."

The truth was that the injured Goddess was just a Minor God, and giving all her power to that little girl was just enough to make her a Demigod. However, she had the less power-up possible a Demigod could have.

If the injured Goddess hadn't done that, the little girl would have died in front of her due to an illness that mortals on that world couldn't heal, so she wanted to save her life in exchange for her efforts.

She could have just healed her, but with the lifestyle and constitution of the little girl, it was just a matter of time until she followed the same fate.

A mortal who became a Demigod would be automatically immune to all mortal illnesses, even if that mortal never trained. In fact, all training before becoming a Demigod would be erased and, thus, start from zero again.

"It is a beautiful but sad story. A pity that someone like her died in the hands of those bastards."

Yale really felt like that, so he was even more happy for the end of the Sacred Empire.

"You are the one who avenged her. I can't be a virtuous as her, but I am the most loyal person you can find."

Tenir and others under the orders of the Goddess usually had to deal with some dirty work without letting the Goddess know it because it was impossible to control a universe with just goodwill.

After all, there were always people that wouldn't listen to words; it was what they want or what they want, no options at all.

The worst of them all were those that rebelled against the Goddess calling her Tyrant Demon ended up killed by Tenir and the others in the major incident of that universe before the invasion.

The Goddess would never kill others no matter how evil they were, but that led to them to rebellion and the same with the traitors on the invasion.

Tenir and the others only acted in extreme situations, so those with evil intentions that didn't act were spared until they became the doom of the universe when it was invaded.

At that moment, Yale thought that if someday he was able to bring back the dead somehow, he would definitely help Tenir to resurrect that Demigod.

Of course, Yale didn't know anything about resurrecting people with the Minor Time Divinity yet.

"I am Awat. I came to visit!"

When Yale was about to speak with Tenir again, he heard another voice at the other side of the door.

After asking himself in his mind why there were so many visits looking for him, Yale let Awat enter.
