628 The Second Calamity Starts (1/2)

”Have you memorized the plan?”

In a Timeless Border created in the new universe, Yale asked Shiba.

”Yes. It has been a bit shocking learning everything, but I understand it. I already memorized it and will execute it without any failure. You can expect a perfect performance from me.”

Shiba just knew a tiny bit of the plan before, but just before the second calamity started, Yale dragged him to the Timeless Border and started telling him everything.

”I don't expect any less from you. Really, it was good fortune that you discovered me before reincarnation and became my disciple. If we don't get the best outcome of the plan, I leave everything to you. Collaborate with Alrein and Kroh.”

If Yale said something like that before Shiba heard the whole plan, the latter would have thought that his master worrying too much.

”We will get the best outcome. This war will be a calamity for others, but it is nothing for us. As for the part after the calamity, I trust you, master.”

Shiba wanted to deny that his master could fail, but when he remembered the second half of the plan, he was unable to express more than his trust.

”It isn't a matter of trust. There are too many uncertain things regarding that part. Once the calamity starts, the next time we can speak like this with each other will probably be after the plan had succeeded with the best outcome. The slightest mistake will deserve me a fate far worse than death, so I don't plan to fail, but we need to be prepared for any situation.”

Yale had been decided since he created the plan with Alrein and Kroh. At the start, they were just thinking of how to resurrect True Gods, but in the process, Yale discovered something that shifted the objective. Resurrecting the True Gods had a condition, but if that condition wasn't fulfilled, it would be the end of the multiverse, so the matter of resurrection went to a second plane.

”Others probably think that you have taken the easiest position in the war against the rebels, but they can't understand that you are really the one facing the biggest danger since they don't know the truth.”

Shiba really wanted that the others knew the intentions of his master, but he knew that the details of the plan couldn't be spoken outside the Timeless Border.

”It isn't their fault. I am not doing this for them, but because there is a lot of people I want to protect, so I can't allow the multiverse to be destroyed. My fate may be worse than death if I don't get the best outcome, but I won't die, so even Aiwai and Wyba wouldn't be harmed even if I fail despite their link to me. You can understand me, I know. I bet that you would jump to take my position if you could, but I am the only one with chances to succeed. Even Alrein and Kroh can only act as support for me in this plan.”

Just as Yale said, if Shiba could, he would take the most dangerous job himself, but although he was Yale's disciple, he wouldn't be able to succeed.

It was already huge merit that Yale decided to tell him everything and give him an important part of the plan. Besides the members of the Time Faction, only Shiba and Ange had learned everything about the plan.

”I know. I won't ask for the impossible, but I won't fail on my part. This is the only thing I can do to aid you, master.”

Shiba knew very well that he only needed to execute his part of the plan and didn't think about anything else.

”That is all I need. Good luck.”

Shiba was expelled from the Timeless Border and continued moving through the universe. He knew that he couldn't look for his master nor enter the Timeless Border again. He didn't have the luxury of worry about the details of the latter part of the plan. He needed to ensure that at least there weren't problems in his own part.

Shiba wasn't traveling alone, Eini and Lina were with him since they were used to battle together. They just knew superficial parts from the plan, so they were completely unaware of the danger on the later part of the plan. It was possible that they would try to stop Yale if they knew, so it was decided to keep it secret from them. The same applied to almost anyone else.

If it wasn't because they needed Shiba and Ange for the plan, they would have also avoided telling them.

After all, it was normal that the others would oppose Yale needing to face that kind of situation, but there wasn't any other way. If there was another way, Yale wouldn't be sacrificing so many people on the second calamity, nor would he face so much danger.

At that moment, the rebels were already in the universe, and both sides were already moving, so after some time, the battles between both sides started.

The rebels had already noticed that they couldn't leave that universe, but since they couldn't do anything about it, they just needed to continue with their plans. They decided to worry about how to leave after winning.
