Chapter 614 Memories and Decision

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

"So, they finally decided to send the notification, but there is almost no time until the start of the competition. They are really shameless. However, given the situation, I was expecting them to notify all of us about it long ago, they acted later than I expected. I have just finished my last preparation. Now I only need Lar to wake up."

Yale was alone in a room observing a door leading to another room where Lar was sleeping.

That was the result of the last upgrade Yale made on her. The weapon sprits would sleep for a while after being upgraded, so the situation was quite usual. Moreover, Yale knew that she was already about to wake up.

Although the Council of Gods called everyone with extreme urgency along with the news, with Yale's manipulation of time, he secured more than an additional day.

It wasn't the plan to inform everyone with so little anticipation since a lot of members would be angry; it was just that the situation worsened far quicker than they expected, and they were forced to act like that. Of course, if they just informed everyone from the start, the problem would have been avoided.

"She has just wakened up, not even two minutes after the notification, and I secured more than a day just in case. Well, I can relax a bit after this."

Although Lar already spent several days sleeping, Yale could only barely guess the waking time. In the worst situation, he calculated that she would have woken up a bit before the time was over, but even if she was still asleep, Yale could carry her as a weapon anyway.

However, due to a certain matter, Yale wanted to speak with her first if possible. Thus, he went inside the room as soon as Lar woke up.

"How do you feel? I guess that not very good."

Yale spoke to Lar, who had returned to human form after waking up.

"This is awful. I never thought that losing the memories and recovering them could feel like this. This is very different from a reincarnation..."

The last upgrade improves Lar's strength, but its main objective was restoring Lar's memories as a human before turning into a weapon.

"I am sorry, restoring your memories is all I can do for you, and that is because Tofesh helped me with that strange new Divinity he obtained. As for making you human again, I don't know how to achieve it."

It was already unprecedented that someone in Lar's situation recovered the memories from when she was human.

"Don't worry. There is no need to worry about that. I am used to be a weapon, and I like it. It just feels as if memories of someone else were forced on me, so I don't feel well, but if I have to choose, I prefer my life as your sword."

Even after recovering her memories, Lar didn't feel like wanting to be human again.

"Human souls and weapon spirits are too different, so it is normal that in your current state, you don't want to become human again, although if you were human, I don't believe you would ask to become a weapon spirit. Anyway, if you wish to remain as my sword, you can."

Yale had enough knowledge to know the influences of the differences of the soul. For a weapon spirit, there was nothing better than be wielded for its master, but a normal human wouldn't like something like that. Thus, for a weapon spirit, the memories of a human weren't something they liked. Not being able to transform into a weapon and serve their master would be just a nightmare for them.

"I only want to be your sword. I don't need anything else. Even if I ignore the torture of not being able to be wielded by you, which you said is because I am a weapon spirit, being a human would make me not even able to be close to you since you already have a wife. I know from the memories I regained that I loved you as a human, I can't understand that feeling anymore since I am a weapon spirit, but I guess that for a human loving someone is the same as how a weapon spirit feels for a master. Given everything I said, wouldn't I be forced to suffer like Aizu if I returned to be a human? What are the benefits of being human? Nothing at all. Being a weapon spirit is better. Moreover, as a weapon spirit, I can even avoid the permanent death of the rebels, this is obviously a great advantage."

True Gods couldn't be resurrected, but Yale discovered that weapon Spirit at True God level could be resurrected as long as there was a weapon suited for them to resurrect. The methods to force permanent death didn't apply to weapon spirits.

Thus, as long as Yale could recraft Lar's weapon form, he would be able to resurrect her no matter the tricks of the rebels, and the same applied to Tawa and any other weapon spirits.

If that fact were discovered, weapon spirits would be forced to become pawns in the war, so Yale didn't plan to tell about that matter to others. Only Tofesh and Yale knew about that mater, but both had the same thoughts regarding the value of weapon spirits. They weren't less than other living forms for them, so they didn't want to turn them into pawns to sacrifice.

The worst of all was that they discovered that matter after Tofesh obtained what they believed to be a new Divinity since it forced Tofesh to advance from Great God to True God when he obtained it.

Although that Divinity hadn't been properly analyzed yet and Tofesh hadn't decided a name either, it was related to crafting weapons with a spirit directly. That was something that no one had done before.

The combination of Tofesh capability to create weapon spirits and the difference in souls was a bad combination with a war about to happen. Just a rumor about Tofesh ability to create spirit weapons was enough to put the rebels pursuing him, so Yale couldn't imagine the stir if everything was revealed.

Tofesh and Clair were hidden in a dimension created by Yale, so the rebels never managed to find him, but without Yale's main body there, there was no way Yale could make the dimension impossible to detect, it was just extremely difficult to detect.

Thus, if the main force of the rebels were to mobilize, it was perfectly possible that Tofesh was discovered, but for that rumor, the main force of the rebels didn't move. Only those with low positions tried to make merits and increase their importance in the organization. However, the truth would be enough to force acting the strong ones.

Besides that, Yale needed to be wary of the Council of Gods because he was sure that they would also want to use Tofesh to create spirit weapons to use as pawns, so he couldn't help Tofesh to receive a membership of the Council of Gods because the end would be almost the same as if the rebels caught him.

For Tofesh, the weapons he crafted were like his children, especially after they all were crafted with a spirit. Thus, he wouldn't allow them to be used as discardable pawns, and Yale agreed with him.

For others, sacrificing a bung of weapon spirits instead of members of the Council of Gods might sound logical, but yale and Tofesh would rather sacrifice members of the Council of Gods that weren't related to them than let the Council of Gods use the weapon spirits as sacrifices.

Weapon spirits were usually awakened only by those who cared about their weapon, so they weren't huge in number, and they were deeply valued by their owners, but a situation where they could be directly crafted was too different.

Tofesh could craft weapon spirits at Great God level directly. Each was a great effort, but it was definitely possible for him.

It didn't matter the side; they would only see Tofesh as an army maker if they learned the truth and not just heard some rumors.

If the Council of Gods dared to threaten Tofesh or force him to make an army, Yale wouldn't care about betraying the Council of Gods. Strictly speaking, it would be the Council of Gods betraying him first. Any person who targeted his family or friends was his enemy, no matter to what side belonged. That fact was well-known, so if they targeted Tofesh, it would be the Council of Gods betraying Yale first. Although he had allies inside the Council of Gods, he didn't care for those who weren't his allies even if they were members not considered rebels.

"Alright, come with me. I need to meet some persons before leaving. This time I don't think we return until the war is finished."

After the competition, Yale felt that most likely the war would start right away.

The situation was already at a point that it just lacked a trigger to explode into a war.

Moreover, Yale had been gathering information on the other side, and he knew that they were almost ready.

The Council of Gods didn't have information as precise as the one Yale had, but they also discovered that they were almost out of time, so they were forced to start the competition as soon as possible, or the war would have started before they decided the hierarchy.
