575 Meet the Emperor? Better Do Some Tourism (1/2)

”I understand. I will try my best to avoid offending him.”

The Emperor knew very well that he couldn't offend so many strong existences.

”It is good that you understand. Facing people at this level, death will just be the best outcome, there are far worse outcomes, and this Great God Yale seems to like using them to punish.”

The Smuggler Association knew very well what happened at the Sacred Empire. After all, there was a smuggler involved, and although she wasn't related to them, they wanted to check if her actions could provoke that someone started to kill all the smugglers, which would be a real problem to them.

Their network learned about the Existence Eraser Bomb before even the members of the Council of Gods excluding Great God Kroh, and they knew that the Council of Gods wouldn't allow something like that to exist and even less to be spread illegally, so there were high chances that all the smugglers became targets.

Fortunately, they weren't attacked after the Sacred Empire received its punishment, but they had enough information about the punishment to put Yale directly on the list of people to never be offended.

In fact, even if they knew about Yale's true power, they would still put him in that list. Just the rumors of Great God Kroh backing him and the fact that so many Great Gods wanted to be his friends was enough to turn him into someone that they couldn't offend.

In a shady business like the Smuggler Association, they always thought about the worst situation when acting, so they wouldn't make additional enemies without reason, and even less those with potential to wipe out them.

As for the woman colluding with the Sacred Empire, no one knew her whereabouts after that incident. She went to hiding immediately and didn't dare to show her face for a while due to the fear that Yale would discover her.

The Emperor cut the communication just after that. He was really scared at that moment because he knew that the Gods could use Existence Eraser, which would make that no one remembered them.

If he needed to die, at least he wanted to be remembered, so being erased would be a real nightmare for him.

Of course, that was the worst situation that the Emperor could imagine because he didn't know about what happened to the Sacred Empire.

The Smuggler association gifted him with some information about Yale to ensure that they wouldn't be seen as helping the Emperor to harm Yale but the opposite.

As for what the Emperor would do next, they really didn't care since they already told him to never offend Yale, so it wouldn't be their fault if the Emperor did something reckless.

”Interesting, this is better than expected. I can use it at my favor.”

Those words were spoken by someone hidden in the same room the Emperor used to contact the Smuggler Association.

That person in the room was Yale, or more exactly, a very weak incarnation of Yale.

He had hidden fragments of incarnations of the ice wolves he sent to attack and then attached them to those attacked. After losing Yale, they all used a portal to return to the palace, which let Yale to gather all the fragments and create an incarnation there, although it only served to collect information.

If the Emperor hadn't hesitated so much about what to do, Yale's incarnation wouldn't have been able to spy that conversation, but the doubts of the Emperor had been long enough to let the survivors of the army return there.

Yale didn't like smugglers, but he didn't have a bad impression of that Smuggler Association since they aided him with his plan to trick the Emperor.

”The plan will be smoother now, but I wonder if in the future I can do something to make that Smuggler Association mine, their information network seems great, and if it is true that so many important people want my favor, legalizing them shouldn't be difficult, but managing everything sounds like a pain. Now I really wish that Julie was here, I bet she would get excited with the chance of controlling such a bit organization, and I wouldn't need to do anything.”

Yale was really tempted to absorb it since it would help him to track down all his enemies no matter where they were. He really lacked an information network at that level.

However, that wasn't something possible in a short while, so he just forgot it for the moment.

The incarnation remained in the palace as a spy, but since the incarnation was in the same universe as Yale's main body, they were perfectly synchronized, so Yale knew about everything the incarnation saw.

”You two, go out.”

He forced Tofesh and the old man to leave the Storage Space.

”The issue is solved. Let's do some tourism.”

When he spoke, Tofesh and the old man didn't understand the situation and looked at him with baffled faces.
