618 Critical Information (2/2)
The others were surprised at first, but after thinking it well, there was no way the Multiverse Trading Association could have been surrounded without prior planning, so the ill intentions existed from the start.
The fact that the man was a spy of the rebels seemed logical when they thought about it.
”It makes sense. Sure, only one of the rebel members would use someone's friends to make threats. Killing a spy that would have leaked our plans is a great merit, so there is no way the place where you killed him matters.”
That was just bending the rules to his convenience, but there wasn't any specification for what to do in that case, so it was alright. He could have done the opposite, but he didn't have plans to openly antagonize Yale and the Time Faction.
He really wanted to make everyone swear an oath to ensure that they were all loyal, but there were many problems involves.
A mere slip in words, and if in the future, they had problems with the Council of Gods, they might die for breaking the oath, and no one was willing to take the risk.
Anyway, Yale was confident in his intel, so he didn't think that there was a second spy.
After that, the groups were confirmed, and rules of the competition were explained to everyone.
Those who didn't know about it beforehand were quite surprised by the peculiar type of competition, but it was certainly more pragmatic than having their disciples battle against each other.
”The groups will obtain points for the information obtained from their disciples inside the Sealed Universe. Now, Yale, can you please help us to open a passageway there? It shouldn't be a problem for you.”
Yale already knew about it, so he wasn't surprised. It was quite obvious that he obtained the rules leaked from others, but there was nothing to do about that.
”Sure, but I want my disciple to tell you some information about the Sealed Universe he had just obtained, and it is of utmost relevance to everyone before sending your disciples there. The rules were already spoken, so I think it counts for the competition, right? if not, I guess that he will need to shut his mouth, or it will be unfair for us.”
Yale was the one who obtained the information, but Shiba obtained the Great Dimensional Divinity, so there was no way for the others to know if it was Yale or Shiba.
”This...”
He was in a conflicting situation. It was true that the rules could be interpreted as Yale said, but it was obvious that they had the information from far before the rules of the competition were told.
However, if it was information that could affect the lives and death of the disciples, refusing to hear it for being stingy would just make him the focus of hate if something were to happen.
”Alright. You will be awarded points for this. Go ahead.”
Although others were a bit conflicted with that decision, they wanted to know that information.
”Some strange methods have been applied to the Sealed Universe, provoking diverse effects like the mortals having enormous talent and dying due to its side effects. That doesn't have an effect on immortals and Gods. The problem is that there is something else that affects everyone. The people that die there can't be resurrected. Not even my master can do it, so keep it in mind if you are going to participate.”
No one was expecting to hear something like that, but seeing Yale's serious face while Shiba spoke, they knew that it wasn't a lie.
”Really critical information. Thank you for sharing it with us. You will receive points equivalent to the information that could change the course of the war, the maximum possible.”
It wasn't a joke. If they sent their disciples without knowing it and decided to let them risk even if they needed to beg Yale later, they could have repeated the situation of the first calamity after learning the truth.
