464 The Battle God (1/2)
Yale's group traveled non-stop for three thousand years, but as he did previously, Yale altered the flow of time in the Storage Space, so it hadn't been too long for those there.
After those three thousand years, they were almost at the point where the Battle God was.
Usually, the Battle God didn't rest so much time in the same place, but Yale felt that his grandfather noticed about him and decided to wait.
There hadn't been any problem in those three thousand years. There had been some planets disappearing and Origin Gods dying in the areas they went, but nothing happened to them.
With the people worried about the death of Origin Gods and the planets disappearing, no one had the guts to offend a traveling group in those areas for fear of them being the culprits.
After all, anyone capable of killing Origin Gods wasn't someone to offend even if it was by mistake.
However, the ones living in those areas feared more the one destroying the worlds because those Origin Gods were uncovered as traitors after they were killed. Thus, they felt that the one doing that was just cleaning the universe from traitors and those who hadn't betrayed the universe didn't fear being implicated as long as they didn't offend that person.
On the other hand, the one destroying planets seemed to do it at random and without caring about the people living in those worlds, so that person ended up turning in a sign of fear for them despite not knowing anything about the true identity of the culprit.
The region where the battle God was waiting was one without any inhabited planets. There were only dead worlds in that area, and it was usually a place avoided by everyone.
It wasn't an exaggeration saying that the Battle God was the only one in that galaxy until Yale's group entered there.
Yale's group still needed some hundreds of years to reach the dead world where the Battle God was waiting.
”So, you have really come to visit me. Welcome, my grandson. Your friends are also welcome.”
The Battle God's voice appeared on the minds of everyone in Yale's group when they were outside the dead world.
No one was surprised by that. After all, it would have been weird if the
Battle God would have been unable to notice about their presence.
Everyone descended into the planet, and Yale walked towards his grandfather.
”Grandfather. It is a pleasure to meet you.”
The Battle God stood up and looked towards Yale.
”I managed to obtain the memories about you from my shadow of the Timeless Border, so it isn't like if we haven't met before. I have been waiting for you.”
Yale didn't expect that, but given the Battle God's status, it wouldn't be weird if any of the other two Timeless Sovereigns helped him to obtain his memories.
At that moment, only Yale could hear the words of the Battle God, so there was no need to avoid speaking of certain topics.
”I came to ask you to rescue my father. He is unable to leave on his own, and his incarnation told me to look for you.”
Although Yale wanted to meet his grandfather in the real world, he didn't forget about the matter of his father asking for the Battle God's help.
”I know about it. I can save him, but I am not going to do it.”
Yale didn't expect to hear that reply.
”Why?”
Yale didn't believe that his grandfather would say those words without reason.
”I am busy. I haven't been waiting here because you were following me. That has been just a coincidence because I need to wait here for some time. Your father isn't in danger. He is just trapped. I can't take the risk to fail my mission just for that.”
The Battle God cared for his family, but he knew how important his mission was.
”I guess that your mission is something important...”
Yale was quite depressed, but if the Battle God was busy, then he couldn't do anything about it.
”Don't be depressed. Your father being trapped and you learning about it isn't a coincidence. This is all part of a plot created in order to force me to go to save him and made me fail in my mission, which is just what our enemies want.”
The Battle God couldn't believe that the ones who trapped Yale's father were unable to ask for reinforcements after so much time and finish that deadlock with Yale's father. In the Battle God's eyes, it was all a plot to attract him.
”I understand. If you weren't planning to help my father, why were you waiting for me?”
