Chapter 621 Gleb and Lesta

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Some time had passed since the disciples of the Council of Gods entered into the Experiment Universe, but the higher-ups of the rebels were preparing a party instead of discovering it and sending a counterattack like the Council of Gods expected.

"Lesta, you are too cold. Your best experiment result, your disciple, he has killed a member of the Council of Gods and obtained a membership, you should be happier now that your influence has grown again."

Gleb couldn't avoid being a bit jealous of Lesta. Gleb was at the top of the research team on the Experiment Universe from the beginning, but Lesta, who had joined later, had managed to become his equal very quickly.

A True God with a membership was bond to obtain a high position anywhere, but even Lesta's reputation was as great as Gleb's. Even Gleb had to admit that without Lesta's help, the research on the Experiment Universe wouldn't have been even halfway to their objective at that moment.

Usually, a Great God who obtained a membership would also obtain an important position, but the higher-ups wouldn't celebrate it like they were doing. It was just because Pavel was Lesta's direct subordinate and disciple that they decided to celebrate it.

However, Lesta didn't seem interested in the feat of his disciple. Due to the insistence of others, he sent an incarnation to the party, but he was so serious that it killed any festive mood.

In fact, they were about to start a war, so it wasn't time for parties, but the higher-ups wanted to make Pavel happy.

The reason was that they feared that Lesta might sacrifice them for some experiment without even thinking if he didn't feel that they had some value. They all had the feeling that Lesta would kill anyone as long as he wanted.

However, Lesta was a bit better when it came to his disciple, so they felt that being close to Pavel was somewhat as an insurance.

Although they didn't fear to battle against Lesta head-on, if he managed to escape, they couldn't imagine what tricks he would use to make their lives like a nightmare. Moreover, they weren't confident in killing Lesta, given how cautious he was. Anyway, they needed Lesta to execute their plans, so they couldn't kill him before the war.

Although they all joined together for that war, they were unruly by nature, so it was normal that everyone was cautious of the others instead of trusting them blindly.

"The Council of Gods is in a meeting right now. Do you remember what our spy told us? If Pavel killed someone, that person escaped from his duties, so it isn't such a great feat."

Hearing Lesta's reply, Gleb felt that it was fortunate that Pavel wasn't there to hear them.

"Well, even if that person wouldn't join the war, those that fled without joining a side are dangerous since they are too unpredictable. It is good that one of them is dead."

In that war, not choosing a side wasn't being neutral, but being an enemy of both sides. Neither of the sides wanted to have unpredictable factors in the war.

"True, but not enough to have a party. I am busy with the resurrection project, and you all are hastening the war by sending the fools to attack that Tofesh."

Among the higher-ups, Lesta had been the one who wanted to delay the start of the war a bit more, but the others were already too impatient. After all, among them, only Gleb and Lesta were working on the experiments, so the others were impatient to do something.

"How is that project going? I know that you have been training that girl without letting her enter in contact with us, but for this same reason, we are all in the dark about this project."

The resurrection project was an important one, but everyone else considered it impossible. Only Lesta dared to execute it, but his secrecy made that most of them didn't believe that he could complete it. However, if he succeeded, their chances of victory would increase by several folds, so they let him act as he wished.

"This is unavoidable. The Resurrection Divinity isn't something that people like us can obtain, and someone with the potential to obtain it would never work with us under normal circumstances. Do you know how hard it was finding someone with a personality that fit properly with the Resurrection Divinity and slowly brainwashing her to make her believe that I am the absolute good? Maybe there are other methods, but the only one I managed to discover is exploiting the compatibility of her personality with an extremely high talent to create a subordinate who could resurrect others, but she had yet to obtain the Minor Resurrection Divinity, although I feel that she is near to obtain it."

Gleb had heard a bit about those problems when the project started, so he knew that it was very difficult.

Only someone righteous and with a huge predisposition to help others altruistically would be able to succeed without a teacher, and that was with an enormous talent.

Of course, someone with the same Divinities as Yale could use the same method he used, but the method he used wasn't public knowledge, and even if others learned about it, just hearing about the Time Divinity would be enough to make them give up.

Gleb heard that Lesta had been subliminally influencing her to make her personally perfectly suitable to the Resurrection Divinity. To do something like that, Gleb didn't believe that Lesta could act as coldly as he used to act, or there was no way he could succeed. Gleb wanted to laugh, just trying to imagine Lesta acting like a caring father for the ignorant girl being used in the experiment.

"Don't worry. It seems that Tofesh is hidden very well, so the war will be delayed quite a bit. At least until we find them, or the Council of Gods attacked first. Someone to resurrect our members can be useless to us as True Gods, but if she resurrects Great Gods, it will be like having undying soldiers. Moreover, it is a fact that our enemies won't be able to resurrect thanks to our success in the main experiment. I can already imagine their faces full of despair when they realized about this."

Gleb was grinning, but Lesta ignored that part.

"I believe she will be ready for the war at his pace, but don't expect anything else from her. In exchange for the chance to obtain the Minor Resurrection Divinity, her personality became so soft and gentle that she can't even think about harming others. She would rather sacrifice herself than harming someone."

Gleb stopped grinning when he noticed that Lesta didn't care about enjoying the reactions of their enemies.

"I guess that is a reasonable price. We just need her to be in a safe place near us. If the project is a success and she doesn't die, I believe that the Council of Gods won't be able to stop us."

Although Gleb said those words, he didn't believe that they could kill everyone. At least, no one was confident to deal with Kroh, and the original Gods among the rebels knew very well that matter. However, if they killed everyone else, it would still be their victory.

"Pavel is here. If you want to participate in this stupid party, go to meet him and speak words you didn't really think like everyone else. Meaningless social events. I am busy with Devy right now, so I won't be paying attention to this incarnation, don't disturb me unless something important happens."

Pavel had just reached the place where the higher-ups had prepared the party, and just as Lesta said, no matter how much they spoke, the words were empty, so it was completely meaningless. Even Pavel only acted pleased on the surface while thinking why the others had so much free time, given that they were about to begin a war.

While the rebels were wasting time until their subordinates managed to find Tofesh or something else triggered the war, the Council of Gods was looking at their disciples, but until that moment, nothing dangerous happened.

The places Yale had chosen were mostly inhabited by mortals, so unless they had bad luck and a rebel was there for some reason, the start wasn't too interesting to see.

However, they didn't learn anything that could give them points either, but no one blamed Yale for playing safe given the situation.

At least, the groups were proceeding with caution, and it would serve to improve their teamwork for the war.

However, no one among the six groups would be playing safe until the end. Once they started to have a proper grasp of the places they were, they started to advance to places related to the rebels.

They all had their pride. They were participating in that competition as disciples, so they were representing their masters, and no one wanted to harm their master's reputation by not performing properly.

The first group in meeting an enemy was one of the two that weren't affiliated to the Time Faction nor to the moderator.

The enemies were a group of God and Minor Gods led by a Great God. They just happened to be traveling near that area when they detected the group of disciples.
