After solving the matter about Lily and Bashi, Yale's group was about to leave, but Yale, instead of teleporting them back to their homes, spoke.
"Ange has gotten attacked by a Great God."
Yale's voice was calm, but everyone was shocked by what he said and the fact that he spoke about it instead of teleporting there directly.
"What are you saying? Hurry up and teleport us there, we need to help her!"
She didn't know why Yale was speaking about it instead of hurrying to help Ange. Lina would have teleported herself immediately if she could, but only Yale could move that quickly between different universes.
"There is no need to help her because she killed the attacker immediately. She didn't even feel the slightest threat from that person. I understand your worry, but remember, Ange isn't weaker than you."
As Yale said, Ange wasn't weaker than Lina. Lina had outstanding talent, and she trained hard, so she was strong as long as she wasn't compared with monsters like Yale, Alrein, and Kroh. However, although Ange had yet to reach that level, her talent was far too great, so it wasn't difficult for her to be on the same level as Lina. It was because her usual behavior made her look like a harmless girl that usually everyone overlooked that point about her.
Of course, even that strength couldn't be considered great inside the Council of Gods, but at least it wasn't weak either. However, Lina and Ange had the same problem, lack of experience compared to other members.
Lina's innate talent was at a level that it would have caught the attention of members of the Council of Gods if she had been born in a universe of the highest level. Still, Ange inherited that talent plus the power of the soul fragments of Kroh, the Life Goddess, and the Death God from Yale, so her talent was even more monstrous.
"You are right. I always forget that if she gets serious, I don't have the confidence to win in a match against her. Not like she can go all out against any of us given her personality because she only shows her power when she really wants to kill the opponent."
Lina sighed, remembering a time she saw Ange's power while observing her travels after she became a Great Goddess.
When training, Ange always seemed to be far weaker than her, so Lina always thought that she was only that powerful until she saw her got serious.
Ange didn't like to harm others, so she seemed quite weak when she was showing her power while training. However, her specialty was in killing her opponents quickly, and that wasn't something that could be shown properly if she didn't want to harm her opponent. Although she could stop just before hitting, she didn't like the idea of trying a deadly attack against someone she didn't want to kill.
"Wait, didn't you say that you can only notice what happens when others feel danger? How did you know if she hasn't been in danger?"
Lina could imagine Ange killing a Great God who lowered his guard to Ange's harmless looks, but she knew that Yale wasn't paying attention to those traveling unless something happened to them.
"There is another condition, and that is the one activated. This is the troublesome part. The Great God Ange killed was a rebel member of the Council of Gods, and one pretty famous for his actions. Have you heard about the Lecherous Emperor?"
The faces of everyone changed because that nickname was pretty famous.
The Lecherous Emperor wasn't among the strongest rebels, but his habits of targeting women related to the Council of Gods made him more known than some of the strongest ones.
Facing other rebels, the family of the members of the Council of Gods might be tortured before dying, but those who fell in the hands of the Lecherous Emperor would only await a life worse than death.
"It is good that the Lecherous Emperor is dead, but I get what you are implying. We are about to have a war, and our daughter killed one of the members of the other party, so this may provoke the war to start right away."
Although the death of the Lecherous Emperor was a happy matter, the moment it happened wasn't a good one.
At that moment, the Council of Gods wasn't properly prepared, so starting the war wouldn't be a good idea, but Ange couldn't be blamed for killing the Lecherous Emperor.
"No, I doubt that the war will start for this matter. Ange wasn't a member of the Council of Gods when she killed the Lecherous Emperor, so it shouldn't be a reason for them to hasten the war against us. Even if they discover that she is our daughter, the Lecherous Emperor was the one who attacked first. In any case, this gives reasons for us to start it before, not for them. It would have been a different matter if I teleported there and killed the Lecherous Emperor myself."
If Yale saved Ange, the other party might have taken it as the Council of Gods wanting to start a war immediately, but Yale didn't believe that it applies since Ange was the one who killed the Lecherous Emperor and she was the one attacked first anyway.
"Even in this case, what if they want to kill Ange to avenge the Lecherous Emperor? That would force us to act, and then the war would start immediately."
Lina was again the one who spoke. She and Yale were the only ones speaking despite the others having opinions about the matter. However, the matter was deeply related to Ange, so they didn't want to speak until Ange's parents asked them. Anyway, if the other party send a huge force to attack Ange, everyone in that room would have participated in helping her.
"If they are that foolish, then the war will start, but probably that won't happen. I don't think that they want to hasten the start of the war, so unless the situation forces them, they won't do something that would force the start of the war. I doubt that the Lecherous Emperor was liked by them anyway. Why would they risk their plans for someone like him? If they are logical enough, nothing should happen for this incident. The problem here is that Ange became a member of the Council of Gods, so we need to speak with her about the war. She will also need to choose a disciple, but I think she already has some."
Yale had never been worried that the war would start immediately for the incident between Ange and the Lecherous Emperor. Starting at that moment wouldn't benefit the rebels nor the Council of Gods. After all, no one wanted to start the war unprepared.
"You are right. I can't believe Ange was attacked with the other party knowing her background. This was probably unrelated to the war. I bet that the rebels gave orders to avoid attacking those related to the Council of Gods for the time being."
Lina reached that conclusion after hearing Yale's explanation. If the rebels wanted to start the war, it would have already started. After all, as long as one party wanted war, the other would need to fight or be destroyed.
After that, Yale asked the others for their opinions, but everyone agreed that probably that incident wouldn't provoke the start of the war right away.
Lily was the only one feeling regret for that situation. If she hadn't already agreed to be Gloriana's disciple, she would have rushed to participate with Ange, but Ange was too overprotective, so there was no way she had chosen Lily to participate.
At that same moment, in another universe.
"That bastard has been killed. What are we going to do?"
A cloaked man asked the others in the same room. Everyone was wearing cloaks despite being useless to hide their identities since they could identify everyone by their auras. It was merely a custom for their meetings.
"I always hated him, so how about we try to recruit the girl who killed him? I always knew that he would die in the hands of a woman, and a woman who killed him has my approval."
A cloaked woman replied with a cold voice. If it wasn't because infight between members had been forbidden to prevent that they destroyed themselves before even the war started, she would have killed the Lecherous Emperor several times.
"It seems that she can resurrect others, so she would be useful for us. Should we try to recruit her?"
The same person who reported the Lecherous Emperor's death spoke again.
"Our rules are against recruitment. We only accept those who came here and swear that the Council of Gods hates them. Moreover, if my investigation isn't wrong, she is the daughter of a member of the Time Faction. Trying to capture her will provoke the start of the war. I am against it."
Another cloaked man spoke.
"What Lesta said is right. We should be thankful that he was killed by her, and her father hasn't acted, or we would have started the war too soon. Recently, thanks to Lesta, the investigation is advancing very quickly, interrupting it now is very bad for us. Anyway, we are also investigating how to produce someone who can resurrect our members while our opponents feel the despair of couldn't be resurrected."
Another cloaked man laughed sinisterly after speaking.
