497 Old Friends (1/2)

Time passed while the army was stationed in front of the seal of the passageway.

The whole area had already been isolated by the Mysterious Expert, so there wasn't any way for retreat, nor anyone planned to turn into a coward at that point.

Everyone knew that the Wolf God was one of the two commanders, so no one dared to near to the place where Yale's group was waiting.

They knew that the Wolf God had his own elite group and that it was something that he had decided together with the Battle God.

Moreover, the army had been instructed to not interact with the Wolf God or the members of his group, which immediately turned them into mysterious people in front of the rest of the army.

Yale's group was small, and everyone was people related to him.

Shiba, Lina, Eini, Aiwai, Terug, and Gerken.

Together with Yale, they were a group of seven.

The rest of the people related to them with enough power, like the members of their factions or Terug's followers, joined the ordinary army.

Shiba had turned extremely famous after he once defeated a member of the ten strongest Origin Gods, and was, without doubt, one of the strongest of the universe.

Lina was a bit weaker than Shiba since she hadn't been so focused on increasing her battle prowess, but she could easily rank into the fifty strongest Origin Gods.

Even Eini could easily rank into the hundred strongest Origin Gods.

Any of those ranking was enough to make others respect them, but what was really enough to make them obtain respect was that they were one level lower than Origin Gods, yet they were already so powerful.

Thus, no one found strange that the Wolf God had selected them even if they disregarded the relationship between the Wolf God and them.

Aiwai had just barely managed to become a fourth level immortal, so she wasn't that strong compared to others. However, the blessing on her bloodline and the version of Yale's Path available for her bloodline were strong enough to make her comparable to an above average Origin God, but she was still lacking in strength to enter any rankings.

After all, since the universe was created, it was impossible to count how many Origin Gods appeared. Although becoming an Origin God was incredibly difficult, through the whole universe and an extremely long time, it wasn't surprising that the numbers were so high.

Terug was even weaker than Aiwai because he barely managed to become an Origin God, and he had a Fake Origin Path. Given that he was already a World God when he met Yale, he couldn't change his Path to that one.

However, Terug was the oldest among them, and Yale had a great impression of him because of how he risked everything to protect Aiwai in the past, so he decided to put him in the group.

Terug also had a high social skill, which was something that everyone else in the group lacked compared with him. They were going to infiltrate, so someone who could use words to trick the opponent would be useful.

As for Gerken, he wasn't too good at battling despite being stronger than Terug and Aiwai, but he excelled at killing and being stealthy, which was of vital importance for the mission.

In fact, no one except the Battle God and those in Yale's group noticed that he was there.

There were some people that wanted to speak with Yale, but there were also people that Yale wanted to meet, yet he couldn't because of the rules he had put in his group.

After Yale scanned the whole army when he appeared in that place, he shockingly saw some familiar face that he never expected to be there.

The first one was Revgen. He had long ago become an Essence God after solving all his problems and leaving the Empire in charge of Nurvey who turned the new Empress.

Revgen only managed to become an Essence God in the Life Essence, so his role in that war was to act as a support and a healer. He had been stationed in the part of the army directly under General Aknarel, or in other words, Yale's father.

Of course, Revgen was Aknarel's disciple, so it wasn't strange that he was under Aknarel's orders in the war.

Revgen being there was quite shocking, but it was still something that Yale could accept, but the others were too difficult to believe.

They were just beside Revgen, and like him had only mastered one Essence each one.

Those three were Aizu, Zack, and George, the three first friends Yale made after his reincarnation.
