628 The Second Calamity Starts (2/2)

Of course, that cut off any possibilities of retreating in case they were losing, but they didn't want to think about that possibility.

”To think that this woman would be so easy to find, but she is already dead. I bet that Kroh will be angry. This was Kroh's only disciple, after all. Moreover, she was also Alrein's disciple and Yale's mother. Killing her was three for the price of one.”

The Space God laughed after crushing the space surrounding his target. He wanted to harm Kroh the most, but he also liked harming Kroh's allies.

The laugh suddenly stopped as he suddenly teleported.

”I guess you are worthy of being one of the original Gods. Even with your ward lowered by believing t have killed your target, you still noticed me.”

The one who spoke was Kanai, the same person who the Space God believed to have killed.

”Why are you alive?”

The Space God thought that the sneak attack was from someone who discovered him, not from the person he had just killed, or at least thought that he killed.

”That was a mere shadow of the past, making you think I was still there. You claim to be on my master's level, but you were fooled by this basic skill. Maybe you deserve to be among the original Gods since you evaded my attack, but you aren't at my master's level.”

Kanai had been easy to find because she lured the Space God on purpose. Given her relationship with the three members of the Time Faction, it was easy to predict the actions of the Space God.

The Space God was enraged when he heard Kanai's words.

”You brat! I will kill you!”

The Space God was especially material when it came to being compared with Kroh. He had a huge inferiority complex. In the beginning, since they represented time and space, they were usually put together when people spoke of them, but Kroh quickly showed that the Space God was vastly inferior.

”You seem a mere pawn acting like this. It seems that the rumors about you being a leader just in the name are true and Lesta is the real boss.”

When the Space God's attack missed, Kanai attacked again with her words. After Kroh, the Space God felt a threat from Lesta since his authority had grown too big.

If they were both to give an order at the same time and only fulfilling one was possible, he believed that more people would follow Lesta than him. Thus, he took Lesta's previous experiment as a hostage, but even then, Lesta didn't seem to be willing to submit.

At that moment, not only his allies, even his enemies valued more Lesta than him, which made the Space God lost his temper.

However, no matter how much he attacked, he didn't manage to do a single scratch to Kanai, who hadn't attacked again after the failed sneak attack.

That was her mission. She needed to stall for time and left the Space God as tired as possible. The first sneak attack was predicted to fail by Kroh, so it was mostly to anger the Space God. That short temper was an easily exploitable weakness.

With the Space God in that state, he wouldn't be able to give orders to others, and since he wasn't dead, it wasn't easy that someone else took his position even if it was a nominal one.

Preventing all the leaders of the rebels from giving orders to others was one of the main targets, but there was no need to kill them since it was too difficult.

After all, they didn't become the most important members of the rebels without reason, so they needed someone like Alrein to kill them unless they lowered their ward a lot, but as Kanai verified, that wasn't easy to happen.

When Kanai and the Space God started what could be called a battle, a lot of other fights have already started through the universe, but only some unlucky ones that met an opponent far stronger than themselves died.

However, the battles advanced mercilessly, and the casualties would only continue to increase as the second calamity continued.
