612 Lecherous Emperor (1/2)
After solving the matter about Lily and Bashi, Yale's group was about to leave, but Yale, instead of teleporting them back to their homes, spoke.
”Ange has gotten attacked by a Great God.”
Yale's voice was calm, but everyone was shocked by what he said and the fact that he spoke about it instead of teleporting there directly.
”What are you saying? Hurry up and teleport us there, we need to help her!”
She didn't know why Yale was speaking about it instead of hurrying to help Ange. Lina would have teleported herself immediately if she could, but only Yale could move that quickly between different universes.
”There is no need to help her because she killed the attacker immediately. She didn't even feel the slightest threat from that person. I understand your worry, but remember, Ange isn't weaker than you.”
As Yale said, Ange wasn't weaker than Lina. Lina had outstanding talent, and she trained hard, so she was strong as long as she wasn't compared with monsters like Yale, Alrein, and Kroh. However, although Ange had yet to reach that level, her talent was far too great, so it wasn't difficult for her to be on the same level as Lina. It was because her usual behavior made her look like a harmless girl that usually everyone overlooked that point about her.
Of course, even that strength couldn't be considered great inside the Council of Gods, but at least it wasn't weak either. However, Lina and Ange had the same problem, lack of experience compared to other members.
Lina's innate talent was at a level that it would have caught the attention of members of the Council of Gods if she had been born in a universe of the highest level. Still, Ange inherited that talent plus the power of the soul fragments of Kroh, the Life Goddess, and the Death God from Yale, so her talent was even more monstrous.
”You are right. I always forget that if she gets serious, I don't have the confidence to win in a match against her. Not like she can go all out against any of us given her personality because she only shows her power when she really wants to kill the opponent.”
Lina sighed, remembering a time she saw Ange's power while observing her travels after she became a Great Goddess.
When training, Ange always seemed to be far weaker than her, so Lina always thought that she was only that powerful until she saw her got serious.
Ange didn't like to harm others, so she seemed quite weak when she was showing her power while training. However, her specialty was in killing her opponents quickly, and that wasn't something that could be shown properly if she didn't want to harm her opponent. Although she could stop just before hitting, she didn't like the idea of trying a deadly attack against someone she didn't want to kill.
”Wait, didn't you say that you can only notice what happens when others feel danger? How did you know if she hasn't been in danger?”
Lina could imagine Ange killing a Great God who lowered his guard to Ange's harmless looks, but she knew that Yale wasn't paying attention to those traveling unless something happened to them.
”There is another condition, and that is the one activated. This is the troublesome part. The Great God Ange killed was a rebel member of the Council of Gods, and one pretty famous for his actions. Have you heard about the Lecherous Emperor?”
The faces of everyone changed because that nickname was pretty famous.
The Lecherous Emperor wasn't among the strongest rebels, but his habits of targeting women related to the Council of Gods made him more known than some of the strongest ones.
Facing other rebels, the family of the members of the Council of Gods might be tortured before dying, but those who fell in the hands of the Lecherous Emperor would only await a life worse than death.
”It is good that the Lecherous Emperor is dead, but I get what you are implying. We are about to have a war, and our daughter killed one of the members of the other party, so this may provoke the war to start right away.”
Although the death of the Lecherous Emperor was a happy matter, the moment it happened wasn't a good one.
At that moment, the Council of Gods wasn't properly prepared, so starting the war wouldn't be a good idea, but Ange couldn't be blamed for killing the Lecherous Emperor.
