572 The Destruction of the Ancient Imperial Family (2/2)

Yale and Tofesh were surprised that the mother of that old man was a Minor God because, in that case, it was strange that she hadn't descended when trouble happened, or at least, she could have done it later to avenge her husband and the rest that died.

”Probably you guessed it, but my brother and I have different mothers. His mother was from a big family in the universe, with a lot of reputation, but my mother, despite being the Empress, she didn't have any background at all. She started from nothing and became a Minor God before my father, really impressive.”

The eyes of the old man showed tears at that moment.

”She was very gentle and talented, but for that reason, she left when I was still too young. The original plan was that she descended once she had a chance to do it, but she died. I don't know why, but my father confirmed it.”

At that moment, Yale understood why she hadn't acted at all.

However, at the same time, his intuition was telling him something that he couldn't believe.

”Do you have any picture of your mother?”

The old man nodded, he didn't know why Yale was asking for that, but since Yale had come from another universe, it wasn't impossible that he knew something about his mother.

Once Yale saw the image, his suspicions were confirmed, no matter how unrealistic they felt.

The image of the old man's mother was identical to the Minor God that saved the Demigod that Tenir served in the past.

Yale couldn't believe it was a coincidence, he was sure that the Minor God's death was something related to the betrayal of that old man's brother.

”Do you know about her?”

The old man seemed to notice Yale's reaction when he saw the image.

”I saw a picture of her before. The previous boss of my subordinate owed her life to her, but if she is the same person I heard of, she really is dead.”

Yale just told the truth. He wasn't deeply connected with that woman, so he was more concerned about if that old man's big brother was related somehow to her death than anything else.

After all, if that Emperor had contacts with people at higher universes, the situation would be trickier than expected.

”I guess that it is already great that I learned a bit about her that I didn't know. What was ai saying before this?”

The old man thought for a moment before continuing to speak.

”After escaping, I had been hiding while slowly obtaining information about the new Emperor. I knew that I would never be able to oppose him with my puny strength, but just hiding from him turned into a big problem for him, so I have been pleased with this until now.”

The life of the old man after fleeing wasn't too interesting. It basically consisted of hiding while trying to create more skills to hide. After that, he spread rumors whenever he could.

Although he was found some times, he was never caught.

”The Emperor has been building strength for a lot of time. This invasion will be the first he does, but the number of ninth level immortals under him can be counted in thousands. He had been patient for a lot of time to ensure victory.”

Thousands of ninth level immortals weren't something that Yale and Tofesh could beat directly. If they come in small groups, it would be possible, but facing thousands simultaneously wasn't realistic.

Of course, those high numbers came with a price. Except for the Emperor and his mother, no one else had the capability to reach godship in their lives.

The mother of the Emperor and her family helped him with his betrayal plan, so they were considered the Imperial Family, although the only real member was the Emperor.

The Emperor didn't even have kids for fear that they would betray him like he did in the past.

He was a coward that wouldn't act unless he was sure that he couldn't fail. Although he seemed brave and reckless on the outside, that was only a facade.
