Chapter 491
Chapter 491
After the Soul reaper spoke, the space twisted, and an incarnation appeared .
Yale had sent an incarnation instead of going personally .
The reason for that wasn't to influence on Ange's fate because at that moment meeting for a while wouldn't be harmful to her, but Ange was with Lily, who was one of the souls that Yale had created .
Although there wouldn't be any problem by meeting Ange at that moment, Yale didn't want to harm Lily .
Her chances of being successful were almost inexistent, but after meeting Ange, they increased quite a bit . However, meeting Yale would destroy those chances again .
Yale didn't even dare to go to that planet personally since he knew that Lily was there .
"Thank you for taking care of my daughter . "
Gerken smiled after hearing those words .
"We were fated to be master and disciple . There is nothing to thank me . I just did what I wanted to do . "
Gerken had been in a good mood since he met Ange, and after seeing her actions in that town, he couldn't avoid being happy for her . After all, he knew that Ange's main problem was her mindset, so he was glad that Ange managed to find the resolution to kill those evildoers to protect an innocent girl .
"She managed to have a breakthrough in her mindset, thanks to you . That was her main problem, and it had been finally solved . Now, the problems of her past life wouldn't affect her . "
Ange had yet to recover her memories, but since the moment she managed to have that breakthrough in mindset, she was considered to have surpassed her previous lives by far, and those lives wouldn't harm her fate anymore even if she remembered them . Of course, since that wasn't something Yale thought that could happen, the memories were still sealed until she became a Law God .
"So, she really is a reincarnation? I considered that option several times given her talent, but for her behavior, she doesn't seem to have memories from other lives . You sealed them, right?"
Gerken always felt that there should be several secrets behind Ange for her having such an outstanding talent, but it wasn't until she awoke her bloodline that he noticed that she was the daughter of the famous Wolf God .
In fact, Gerken himself was a fan of the Wolf God because the Wolf God had hunted traitors through the whole universe, and a lot of them were people that Gerken hated but wasn't able to kill them due to the disparity of power .
Of course, there wasn't anything personal between Gerken and the traitors, but Gerken knew of a lot of evil deeds done by them .
Knowing about that while being unable to do something to solve the situation had been very frustrating for Gerken .
"Yes, she can't remember her past lives because I sealed them . The seal will break after she becomes a Law God . "
Yale didn't plan to hide that matter from Gerken since he would discover about it after Ange recovered her memories .
"I understand . You should have had your reasons for doing it . However, for your words, I think that it shouldn't be too problematic if you go to meet her . "
Ange never told Gerken that she missed her parents, but there was no way that Gerken didn't notice about it .
"I have two reasons for not doing it despite wanting to go and hug her right now . "
Yale truly missed Ange, but he had already lived for a lot of years and knew how to restrain himself .
"The first reason is that girl that is with Ange . She is a soul I created to research fate, and my influence will harm her if I appear there even if it is with an incarnation . "
Gerken was quite shocked after hearing that . The possibilities of that happening by coincidence were extremely low, so it could only be considered fate, but it was quite a strange fate .
"Now that you say it, fate is really strange, no wonder you are researching about it . "
Gerken didn't have any plans to study fate since it was something too abstract for him . He always wondered about why young kids would be so much influenced by the presence of their families, but that was just curiosity . Fate wasn't something that an Essence God could research properly .
"The second reason is even more important, and it isn't an unexpected one . Soon the seal separating both universes would open, and we will launch our counterattack . Our universe will go all out . This time is victory or defeat, no more delays . "
Gerken's face turned serious when Yale spoke about the war . Essence Gods didn't mean too much for that war, they would be just ordinary soldiers, so although Gerken heard about the war, he didn't know too many details .
"This war will be too dangerous even for me . Even if we manage to win, I can't be sure that I will return alive . If Ange meets me, probably she wouldn't want to leave my side, and even if she continues to travel, I am sure that she will request to meet me frequently . I am one of the two commanders of this war, I am not so free, and I fear that Ange would want to participate if she learns about it . "
The Battle God and the Wolf God were announced as the two commanders of the war, so with the date of the break of the seal nearing, Yale had a lot of matters to care . Although in most of the matters, he just needed to speak with the Battle God about them, if Ange were with him, hiding the war from her would be almost impossible .
"I don't understand your intentions . Speaking about Ange is one thing, but I feel that you want me to go to the war and not go at the same time . "
Yale said how important the war was, but also how deadly it would be . If Yale didn't want that Gerken joined, he wouldn't have said that it was so important, just another battle of the war . On the other hand, if Yale wanted that Gerken joined, he wouldn't have said that even himself had risks to die .
"If you feel in that way, I expressed myself correctly . I want you to go, but I also want that you don't go . I am in contradiction in this matter . I am in charge of a group that will sneak into the territory of the enemy once the war starts . Our job won't be battling directly to the army but killing the people moving the strings behind scenes and your stealth capabilities would be extremely useful for us . "
Indeed, Gerken felt that the job was tailormade for him . Although he wasn't too strong compared to the Wolf God, he was confident in his stealth capabilities .
"On the other hand, I want that you don't join and stay behind to stay at Ange's side . All the people she knew except those on this planet will be joining the war, and there is no way to say when will we return or if we will return . I observed her in the Heaven Academy, and although she had a good relationship with everyone, she isn't really close to them . They just admire her from far . The only person who can be at her side and protect her is you . "
Ange was so talented, beautiful, and gentle that others didn't dare to be too close to her . She was respected, admired, and worshiped, but she didn't have a single friend on the whole Heaven Academy .
The only person that was really close to her was Gerken .
Lily also seemed to have turned close to Ange, but that was Ange protecting Lily, there wouldn't anyone taking care of Ange if Gerken went to the war .
"My thoughts as a father and as a commander are completely opposite . Thus, you shall do whatever you want . I won't blame you regardless of your decision . There is no need to give me an immediate reply . The war will start again soon, but it is only considered soon for people like us that had lived countless years . You still have time to think about what to do . "
Yale didn't want to force Gerken to any of the two options . That was quite negligent as a commander since Gerken's abilities were important, but Yale didn't want to work with people who were only doing it because they were forced .
In Yale's mind, that kind of people wouldn't be able to give their all and the chances of them dying or committing a mistake that would kill their allies were too high .
After all, any mistake in a stealth mission could provoke the failure of the whole operation . If someone didn't want to do it, it would be better that such person didn't participate .
"I really need to think about it . "
Gerken wasn't able to reach a decision immediately .
He wanted to help with the war, but even without traitors, he knew that there were bad people on the universe and if all the people he cares were dead after returning, having won the war would have been meaningless for him .
"Think about it carefully . For now, give me your scythe, I will improve it . Tofesh was quite limited to his level back then, and I am the only person in this universe who can upgrade his works without harming them . "
