449 New Path (1/2)

”This is strange.”

Covered by a cloak Yale spoke with his Divine Sense to Lina, Shiba, and Eini.

”Indeed.”

Shiba replied with a serious face.

”Given how much disturbance the tribulation provoked, even disappearing so quickly it should have attracted a lot of attention, but it seems that no one noticed. I was worried when I heard that an Origin God residing in this world departed just at the same time as that happened, but given that he hasn't returned yet, it should have been a coincidence.”

Lina had been in that world before, and although she knew that was an ownerless world, it had been the seclusion place for an Origin God for a long time, and no one dared to defy him.

Thus, she alarmed everyone after discovering that the Origin God left hurried at almost the same time that their tribulations appeared and disappeared.

However, they weren't far enough from that world to an Origin God needing more than ten years to return if it was just to investigate what had happened.

After their sudden breakthrough, they reached a world and hid in Yale's Storage Space for some time while trying to get used to their new powers.

It was after leaving the Storage Space that they learned about that Origin God leaving, but he hadn't returned despite having more than enough time.

Of course, they would have never thought that the Origin God was traveling to Yale's world and that including that Origin God, twenty of them were going in the same direction.

No one could have imagined that the famous Origin God protecting the ownerless world was a traitor that had sided with their enemies.

If it hadn't been for Alter Yale's distraction, the travel of Yale's group would have turned into running for their lives.

Fleeing from one Origin God was difficult but not impossible given that Lina's father had given her some life-preserving methods, and fleeing for several years would have been possible, but once the other Origin Gods gathered, their chances of surviving would have disappeared.

However, none of them was conscious of the great calamity they had just avoided.

If it weren't by how much importance their enemies gave to the matter, they wouldn't have used twenty of their hidden forced in Yale's universe.

After all, once their actions in killing young geniuses were noticed, it would be easy to guess that they were all traitors.

It hadn't been easy for their enemies to make Origin Gods from Yale's universe to switch sides, so they weren't willing to lose them unless the situation was of utmost importance, but what Yale did was something they couldn't ignore. Even more important it was because Alter Yale didn't have his name sealed; if it hadn't been because they didn't have any other Origin Gods without a proper mission in Yale's universe, they would have sent more.

Of course, even if someone looked for them, Yale's group always felt that they would be interrogated about how they survived to the tribulation and why it disappeared so early, they never thought that Origin God would want to kill them by orders from their enemies.

Usually, even the chances that others knew about them being the ones facing the tribulations would be low, so the fact that someone from another universe could notice it and order some Origin Gods to deal with them was something that they couldn't imagine.

Moreover, the fact that the first world they stopped after that was where one of those Origin God traitors lived was even more difficult to believe, it was really having terrible luck.

”Big brother, how is that modification of the Origin Path you were doing?”

Given the relationship between Lina and Yale, and that they traveled together for over a thousand years, Eini already considered Yale as her own big brother and Yale also treated her like a little sister.

Eini had been especially happy after the breakthrough because she could finally marry Shiba, but she still needed to wait until meeting with her father or her father would be angry if she married without telling him.

Lina had also stopped meddling into their relationship because they already met the conditions to being together even if an accident were to happen, but even Eini didn't dare to have such an accident with her sister present, and despite her personality, she still wanted to be married before that to make her father happy.

”Is going well. With my current modification, although I can't beat a World God yet, I wouldn't lose easily either despite still being an Essence God. However, I feel that this modification is still too basic, and I should be able to improve it more if I spend more time on it.”

Yale would lie if he said that he didn't have the urge of making a breakthrough, but he knew that rushing wasn't the wisest option.
