Chapter 644: Epilogue (1/2)
Several years after the end of the Second Calamity .
In those years, Yale didn't return from that dimension, so it was unknown what happened to him, but based on their plans, Alrein and Kroh decided that probably he managed to get a tie and both, Yale and the Dimensional God, had their consciousness erased .
Of course, they had already told everything to Yale's family, and the mood had been quite gloomy all those years . They knew that Yale did it to save the multiverse, but they were still unable to believe that Yale didn't exist anymore .
”I am sure he is just trapped in that dimension or somewhere else after obtaining the victory . I can't believe that he died!”
It was strange seeing Lina so hot-blooded in the past, but since Yale disappeared, it was quite usual when she was speaking with Alrein and Kroh . Of course, they knew that Yale couldn't die, but losing his consciousness could be considered something with a similar effect .
Lina wasn't the only one who refused to believe that Yale died . Wyba, Ange, and Aiwai were arguing as much as her each time someone said that Yale wouldn't return .
There were others who didn't believe it either, but they weren't actively arguing when someone said that he wouldn't return .
”Lina, we already told you about everything . The chances he could return were slim from the beginning . It is already great that he wasn't possessed . ”
Kroh sighed while speaking . It wasn't that he wanted that Yale didn't return, but he had been in that dimension and battled alongside Yale, so he knew very well how difficult it was succeeding .
Kroh and Alrein were the ones always saying that if Yale hadn't returned, he wouldn't return . They had mentalized of that when he made the plan, but it wasn't so easy to believe for the rest .
Shiba didn't argue back since he knew the plan, but he didn't think that Yale wouldn't return .
”Say whatever you want . We already had this conversation uncountable times . I don't believe that he is dead, and I am not letting you have my soul essence, so go back . ”
Lina and the others refused to give their soul essences to Kroh, so unless Kroh killed them, he couldn't obtain them .
That was against Yale's will, but they felt that agreeing to that was the same as acknowledging that Yale wouldn't return .
”Well, the Dimensional God won't return either, so it isn't imperative having your soul essences, but there would be less dangerous for you all . ”
Kroh understood that Lina and the rest didn't want to put their lives in the hands of someone else, but Yale had insisted so much on Kroh protecting them if he didn't return that Kroh had been asking for it continuously .
Kroh's friends were all resurrected thanks to Yale, so at least Kroh wanted to fulfill that last wish and protect Yale's family and friends .
Alrein was there for the same reason, but he didn't speak too much . He believed that Yale got a tie, but he insisted that if they managed to retrieve Yale's body and soul, they could use a shadow of the Timeless Border to replace his lost consciousness . At most, some memories would be lost, but that was better than not having any consciousness at all .
However, Kroh said that it was impossible to go back to that dimension, and that trying was too dangerous . If the Dimensional God had discovered Yale's plan and let the Last Wish System erase Yale's consciousness without entering the body after that, going to that dimension would be falling right into a trap .
That was the worst situation Kroh could think, but at least they were safe since the Dimensional God couldn't leave even in that case . After all, a mere consciousness trying to deal with something constantly erasing consciousness was a suicide, so the Dimensional God wouldn't be able to use Yale anyway .
”I am sure that my father will return . When he needed to reincarnate in the past, a lot of people also believed that he wouldn't return, but he did it . I am sure he will also return this time . ”
Ange was also far more fierce than usual . She hated conflicts, but when someone said that Yale wouldn't return, she could endure it .
”My big brother will return . He won't leave me behind . ”
When Wyba spoke, Kroh and Alrein felt some fear . Wyba's word had forced them to retreat several times . The True Cuteness Divinity was really scary .
However, they learned from their errors and started using protections against it . The problem was that since they would also prefer that Yale was alive, they were still somewhat influenced .
”Wyba, calm down . I am sure that Yale will return someday . They will acknowledge their mistakes then . ”
Aiwai hugged Wyba, who seemed about to attack Kroh and Alrein if they didn't leave immediately .
”Alright, calm down . We will return another day . I know it is difficult to accept, but please, even if it is slowly, become aware that Yale won't return anymore . ”
