503 The End of the Curse Army (1/2)
The Curse Army started to hesitate after hearing Yale's words because no matter how loyal they were, they didn't want to die for such a stupid rule.
Moreover, most of them were loyal because they needed to be loyal to survive. If loyalty led to their certain death, they wouldn't discard betrayal because loyalty wasn't something that all of them valued more than their life.
The Curse Lady was among the few who didn't plan any betrayal, but she knew that most of the army wouldn't think like her.
”Don't be cheated by his words! I already guessed his identity. He is the Death Demon! There is no way he would do something good for all of you!”
The Curse Lady had gathered information and knew that Alter Yale was the one who killed the infiltrates she had sent to kill the person who obtained the ownership of a universe.
She couldn't believe that there was someone else who managed to do that feat, so she assumed that Yale was Alter Yale, and she knew that Alter Yale was the Death Demon despite had never seen him personally.
The army had heard of the Death Demon and feared him, but that identity wasn't enough to make them forgot Yale's offer.
If they followed the Death Demon, they might be cheated and die forever without the chance of reincarnation, but if they didn't accept that offer, they would disappear forever without any doubt.
At that moment, they noticed that they had more trust in the biggest criminal of their universe than on their Supreme God.
Both of them were oppressing them with strength, but only one of them left a way for survival.
”I am not the Death Demon. I know who he is, and we are somewhat related, but the last time I saw him, he was far stronger than me.”
Yale didn't know if he was really stronger than Alter Yale or not, but he hadn't lied when he said that the last time, he saw him, Alter Yale was stronger.
After all, Yale's power had increased a lot since that time, but at the same time, he didn't know if Alter Yale was still as powerful as before or managed to increase his strength.
Those words made that the Curse Army felt even more that there was no way for them to win.
Yale was already incredibly strong, and the Death Demon was even stronger. They couldn't help but feel that their universe had greatly underestimated the universe they wanted to invade.
The Curse Lady didn't try to speak because although she believed that they were the same person she had no proof of it, and as far as she knew, the Death Demon had a cursed name, but she couldn't detect it from Yale.
Of course, she thought that Yale had just sealed it, but she couldn't prove it and insisting more wouldn't have any positive effect on the army.
”We surrender!”
Except for the Curse Lady and a few more that felt that there was no way that they would lose the war, so Yale's offer was useless, the rest had all surrendered.
”Very well! There are still wise people in this universe. After we won this war, I will let your souls reincarnate in this universe. There wouldn't be any immortality, but you should be happy to live several mortal lives with freedom.”
Since the war wouldn't end until one of the universe creators died after having been in conflict for so long, Yale was sure that in the case of winning, the universe of that evil universe creator would suffer until disappearing.
However, that would be a slow process, so he also thought that living several mortal lives should be possible for those that had surrendered.
Yale could see that the Curse Army was just a tool, they had done a lot of evil things, but most of them did it because they would have died otherwise.
Of course, Yale didn't plan to forgive them. He would erase their memories as a punishment, but at least he decided to give those souls a chance to taste freedom before their doom due to the decadence of their universe.
A second after Yale spoke, all the members of the army that had surrendered lost their bodies and part of their souls.
That part of their souls was the one that linked them to the Supreme God and forced them to obey.
Any soul would be affected as long as was born in that universe, but if the Supreme God died, those who would birth later wouldn't be affected as long they didn't carry that link from their previous life.
