618 Critical Information (1/2)
The room was in silence after Yale killed someone without batting an eye in a place where that was forbidden.
Among those who have seen it, there was a mix of impressions. Some thought that Yale did wrong because the rules should never be broken, while others felt that someone who used the friends of someone as a threat was better dead even if it meant breaking some rules.
However, no matter their opinions, they didn't dare to speak recklessly. The rules of the Council of Gods had been broken, but the one who broke them wasn't someone they wanted to offend.
Since they didn't want to oppose the Council of Gods nor Yale, everyone was hesitating about speaking.
Having internal strife just before a war would be a problem, and they knew that the Time Faction with its allies was enough to provoke it.
It was obvious that all the members besides Yale at that moment would support him unconditionally. The never harmed Kroh, and the miraculous Alrein were already two persons that the others didn't want to face because they didn't even know how to hit them. Basically, even if they manage to avoid losing the battle, there was no way they could win against them without being even able to touch them.
They didn't fear yale as much as the other two since his defenses were comparably easier to understand and, thus, break. Still, they never expected that Yale's destructive power would be that quick to execute, and with such a devastating might.
They believed that Yale needed to concentrate for a while before crushing dimensions like that, so they considered him the weakest of the Time Faction, but that was all their misconception.
They had only seen Yale use it just after obtaining it, and there was no way they knew how much time he needed since they couldn't verify at what moment he obtained it.
However, common sense told them that such a powerful attack would need some time to charge, and then it would explode suddenly.
Although the attack Yale had used wasn't unstoppable as long as one was on guard since it was quite a simple application of the Dimensional Divinity, being on guard was the important part. If one wasn't on guard, it could kill any of them, and they couldn't be permanently on guard.
Given Yale's ability to move through universes as he wished, there was no way they could rest at peace at any place if they offended Yale. He just needed to appear where they were the moment, they were off-guard, and it would be their end.
It would be a different matter if they had confidence in killing him immediately, but there was no way Kroh and Alrein would allow it even if they managed to deal with Yale somehow.
Moreover, Yale just needed an instant to flee, and they didn't expect to be able to attack that quickly in that situation.
There wasn't any benefit for them if they attacked Yale, but a lot of downsides. Unless they had some kind of honor that they must protect even if they died, they wouldn't offend him for someone who was already dead and wasn't even closely related to them.
”Yale, it isn't that I don't understand why you lost your patience with your friends threatened. He acted as the rebels, so he deserved some kind of punishment, but wasn't killing him right away a bit too much?”
The man who broke the silence was the same who had been organizing the whole meeting. He was usually the one in charge of doing it since he seemed to have a talent for those things, and everyone voted in the past that he acted as the moderator.
Obviously, he used that position for his own profit a lot of times, but he never forgot the rules, he just used some loopholes.
Those rules were the ones making him speak like that. In that room, killing was the most significant taboo, so he couldn't ignore it, or he would be breaking the oath he had taken when accepting the position.
”Even if he hadn't tried to do this petty trick, I would have killed him anyway. Do you seriously think that the Multiverse Trading Association can be surrounded in a few seconds? They were there before this meeting started. As I told, I already knew they were there before coming. That bastard was targeting my friends from the start, and for the intel I obtained, he was a spy from the rebels, so I was planning to kill him before the specifics of the competition were told. Fortunately, only the fact that we have a competition among disciples has been leaked to the rebels. You should be thanking me for cleaning the room.”
Yale had an incarnation, and a disciple infiltrated on the other side, so he had known about the spy from long ago, as well as his plans. From the start, he was planning to kill him in front of others to show his strength because he was conscious that others didn't consider him as strong as Kroh and Alrein.
The Multiverse Trading Association was never in danger. Yale had discovered everyone and set a trap for them. At the moment they left their hideouts, they were crushed in a similar way as their leader. That group was formed by Gods and Minor Gods, so even a remote trick like that was more than enough to deal with them.
