621 Gleb and Lesta (1/2)
Some time had passed since the disciples of the Council of Gods entered into the Experiment Universe, but the higher-ups of the rebels were preparing a party instead of discovering it and sending a counterattack like the Council of Gods expected.
”Lesta, you are too cold. Your best experiment result, your disciple, he has killed a member of the Council of Gods and obtained a membership, you should be happier now that your influence has grown again.”
Gleb couldn't avoid being a bit jealous of Lesta. Gleb was at the top of the research team on the Experiment Universe from the beginning, but Lesta, who had joined later, had managed to become his equal very quickly.
A True God with a membership was bond to obtain a high position anywhere, but even Lesta's reputation was as great as Gleb's. Even Gleb had to admit that without Lesta's help, the research on the Experiment Universe wouldn't have been even halfway to their objective at that moment.
Usually, a Great God who obtained a membership would also obtain an important position, but the higher-ups wouldn't celebrate it like they were doing. It was just because Pavel was Lesta's direct subordinate and disciple that they decided to celebrate it.
However, Lesta didn't seem interested in the feat of his disciple. Due to the insistence of others, he sent an incarnation to the party, but he was so serious that it killed any festive mood.
In fact, they were about to start a war, so it wasn't time for parties, but the higher-ups wanted to make Pavel happy.
The reason was that they feared that Lesta might sacrifice them for some experiment without even thinking if he didn't feel that they had some value. They all had the feeling that Lesta would kill anyone as long as he wanted.
However, Lesta was a bit better when it came to his disciple, so they felt that being close to Pavel was somewhat as an insurance.
Although they didn't fear to battle against Lesta head-on, if he managed to escape, they couldn't imagine what tricks he would use to make their lives like a nightmare. Moreover, they weren't confident in killing Lesta, given how cautious he was. Anyway, they needed Lesta to execute their plans, so they couldn't kill him before the war.
Although they all joined together for that war, they were unruly by nature, so it was normal that everyone was cautious of the others instead of trusting them blindly.
”The Council of Gods is in a meeting right now. Do you remember what our spy told us? If Pavel killed someone, that person escaped from his duties, so it isn't such a great feat.”
Hearing Lesta's reply, Gleb felt that it was fortunate that Pavel wasn't there to hear them.
”Well, even if that person wouldn't join the war, those that fled without joining a side are dangerous since they are too unpredictable. It is good that one of them is dead.”
In that war, not choosing a side wasn't being neutral, but being an enemy of both sides. Neither of the sides wanted to have unpredictable factors in the war.
”True, but not enough to have a party. I am busy with the resurrection project, and you all are hastening the war by sending the fools to attack that Tofesh.”
Among the higher-ups, Lesta had been the one who wanted to delay the start of the war a bit more, but the others were already too impatient. After all, among them, only Gleb and Lesta were working on the experiments, so the others were impatient to do something.
”How is that project going? I know that you have been training that girl without letting her enter in contact with us, but for this same reason, we are all in the dark about this project.”
The resurrection project was an important one, but everyone else considered it impossible. Only Lesta dared to execute it, but his secrecy made that most of them didn't believe that he could complete it. However, if he succeeded, their chances of victory would increase by several folds, so they let him act as he wished.
”This is unavoidable. The Resurrection Divinity isn't something that people like us can obtain, and someone with the potential to obtain it would never work with us under normal circumstances. Do you know how hard it was finding someone with a personality that fit properly with the Resurrection Divinity and slowly brainwashing her to make her believe that I am the absolute good? Maybe there are other methods, but the only one I managed to discover is exploiting the compatibility of her personality with an extremely high talent to create a subordinate who could resurrect others, but she had yet to obtain the Minor Resurrection Divinity, although I feel that she is near to obtain it.”
