567 Good and Bad News (1/2)
”Alright, I will give it a try now.”
Yale closed his eyes and activated the False Time Divinity.
An instant later, he was observing a battle where one party was wielding Awat.
”I am sorry, Awat, I can't continue anymore. At least you must survive.”
Then, the man threw Awat through a space ripple, ensuring that his opponent wouldn't be able to catch him.
”Master!”
Awat's cry just sounded for a moment before disappearing.
After that point, not even Awat knew what happened to his master, just that he died because the connection between told him so.
”Fool! Who cares about your crappy weapon? Now, die!”
Awat's master was already in dire straits when Yale started looking at the battle, and he was unable to avoid that last hit.
”This won't end today.”
As his soul disappeared, Awat's master spoke, but his opponent just laughed.
”The words of a loser.”
Yale opened his eyes just afterward and let go Awat, who returned to human form an instant later.
”What did you find?”
Awat was extremely nervous. He just knew that Yale used him to investigate the past, but he hadn't seen the battle that Yale had just observed.
”What you prefer the good news or the bad ones?”
Hearing Yale's words, Awat replied with a bit of fear on his voice.
”Start with the bad news.”
Yale nodded after hearing Awat's decision and then spoke.
”It is impossible to resurrect your master, not only for me but even if right now, Great God Kroh tried to resurrect him, it would still be impossible.”
Yale's tone indicated that he didn't have the slightest doubt that his affirmation was true.
”Wait. I can understand that it is impossible for you right now, but even for Great God Kroh. You won't tell me that my master wasn't really at the bottleneck or something like that.”
Awat didn't think that Yale's words had any sense.
”I haven't finished the bad news yet.”
When Yale spoke, Awat decided to continue listening.
”The reason no one can resurrect him is that he isn't really dead. You can't resurrect someone who isn't dead.”
Awat never expected to hear something like that. Of course, he knew that you can't resurrect someone who isn't dead, but he was sure that his master wasn't alive.
Moreover, that seemed more the good news than the bad ones.
”Why is it bad that he isn't dead?”
Yale sighed when he heard the question.
”Because although he isn't dead, he isn't alive either. At the last moment, he managed to seal the last bit of his soul, so not even a fraction of a second would happen to that bit of his soul. As long as that fragment exists, he isn't really dead, but he couldn't be considered to be alive. In fact, if the seal is broken, he would die immediately.”
Yale noticed the stealthy action of Awat's master at the last moment that not even his opponent noticed.
In fact, before doing that, he made it look as he flew to a crack between dimensions by coincidence, but it was very well planned to use it as a reason for the membership of the Council of Gods not going to the opponent.
