474 Battling Against Fate (1/2)
While Yale was fleeing, inside the Battle God's dimension, one of the three remaining invaders appeared in front of Aiwai.
”I needed more than a year, but I finally found some food!”
All the members of the army that had invaded the dimension were originally beasts with low intellect, so even after being freed from the need to eat, they were desperately looking for preys.
Aiwai seemed scared on the outside, but when the invader attacked, she smiled.
The invader never managed to touch Aiwai because he was sent flying backward by a huge axe.
That was the axe that Yale gifted to Terug, and the one wielding it was, of course, Terug.
He had found Aiwai long ago, but they had planned to remain separated to catch the invaders unprevented. Terug didn't want to put Aiwai in danger since he needed to protect her by Alter Yale's orders, but since Aiwai insisted on acting as the bait, Terug could only be on alert and act at the fastest speed once the invader appeared.
At the moment he saw that invader he crushed the item received from the Mysterious Expert, and in an instant, his aura increased until reaching the limit allowed by the dimension, but without surpassing it.
That was only an external source of strength that would be exhausted after some time, but until that happened, his strength would be slightly superior to that of the invaders.
The fact that reached the limit without surpassing it wasn't a coincidence, the item had been prepared to adjust automatically to produce the most suitable power for the environment considering the strength and how long the power-up will last.
Without Terug's interference, Aiwai would have definitely died. That was something fated to happen. It was impossible for Aiwai to survive past that day without interference of someone who knew the fate and wasn't bound by it.
Since the power-up of Terug was provoked by a Timeless Sovereign, the conditions to disrupt fate were met, and it was possible to save Aiwai. Alter Yale had thought about all the options very well and made the preparations to ensure that no one of Yale's friends would end up dying.
From the start, they were all doomed to die far before that day, but the interferences of Alter Yale had been preventing that.
However, the most difficult part was during the war because Alter Yale wouldn't be able to interfere directly. In fact, he knew that the chances of everyone surviving were low even with all the preparations.
He had a foolproof plan to save Wyba from her fate, which was the best plan of all he planned. The plan to save Aiwai with Terug was the next best plan, and Alter Yale believed that it would be difficult for Terug to lose.
As for the rest, there were variables that not even Alter Yale could control, but at least there was a chance to change that fate.
Terug was battling with all his strength towards the invader, but he didn't forget to put Aiwai in his inner world.
Although Aiwai and Terug were the first ones in met an invader after Yale left, the other two invaders also found their preys some minutes after that.
Fate wanted all of them to die that day. Their fates had been twisted because of their relationship with Yale.
Although Yale had been careful to avoid harming their fates, since the day he obtained the ownership of the universe, he also doomed to die those who were with him. That had been something outside his control.
Shiba and Eini didn't hesitate in going all out from the first moment. Although they increased a lot their power since Yale left thanks to the change of Path, it was almost a suicide mission battling against that invader.
If it weren't because all the trump cards that Eini had at her disposal, they didn't believe that there was any chance to win.
The last group was that of Lina and Ange. Lina had found Ange some time ago and hid together while Lina also changed her Path to the one Yale taught her.
However, her situation was far worse than the one that Shiba and Eini were facing because she was alone in that battle.
Ange went to her inner world before the battle started. At that moment, Ange was the only one there. All the people residing in Lina's world were forced to leave and went to the world of Terug's World God subordinate.
Inside Terug's inner world, there was only that World God subordinate and Aiwai. All the others also went to that subordinate's world in the same instant that Terug entered into the World God's dimension.
Thus, even if Terug received a hit that forced those that were inside to leave, only those two would appear.
Aiwai couldn't be hidden because the invader already saw her, and if she didn't appear in that situation, even a fool would notice that she hid in the inner world of the other which would also put everyone else in danger.
Yale didn't know about what was happening in the dimension, but his face changed when he saw that the Origin God that was pursuing him appeared in front of him suddenly.
