Chapter 500
Chapter 500
There was slight panic in the planet when they heard Yale, who they believed to be the God's Envoy, say that their Lord had died in the hands of the Death Demon .
The Death Damon was famous for having killed people of the same level as their Lord, so they didn't doubt about its veracity .
As for how the God's Envoy managed to survive, they just thought that their Supreme God protected him .
That kind of people was far more stupid than the deceased planet owner, and they just worshipped any God's Envoy they saw as someone chosen by their Supreme God . In their eyes, a God's Envoy was superior to their Lord, although strictly speaking, they were at the same level .
The ones who had more difficulty to believe the situation were the servants of the planet owner, but they knew that Yale was far strong than them, so they couldn't show it openly, or they could be easily killed for blasphemy .
However, those servants also knew that although people of the level of their Lord and the God's Envoy had been killed by the Death Demon, any real God's Envoy had been killed . Thus, there was a public believing that the Death Demon feared the envoys because they were protected by the Supreme God .
Although the servants of the planet owner didn't believe that such blessing existed, they had to acknowledge that for some reason, there hadn't been any envoy killed .
In fact, the real envoys were quite scared of that Death Demon because it was too strange that none of them had been targeted when there had been people stronger than them killed . As for something like a blessing, they knew better than anyone else that such a thing didn't exist .
After all, they were just messengers; it wasn't like if their lives mattered for the Supreme God .
If some of them died, they would be like the others, but the fact that the Death Demon was avoiding them on purpose only made they feel that there was some plot against them, which was far scarier than being targeted in the open .
All the servants were sent to look for the Death Demon, who Yale said that was severely injured, but on the way, all the servants of the planet owner were killed, and it was also said that all the people following the envoy were killed after managing to injure the Death Demon even more .
Of course, only the servants of the planet owner were killed, and the rest was just a blatant lie because they were just hiding with Gerken who hadn't been feeling well .
"Gerken, I can't feel anything bad with your body, but I also know that you aren't feigning . You don't have any idea of the reason?"
Yale feigning that was searching for the Death Demon went to check Gerken's situation . It hadn't been too much time since they reached that planet, but the outcome of the plan had been the same that they had expected .
However, for some reason, Gerken had started to feel bad .
"It can't be that the universe is harming him for killing that guy or something like that right?"
Terug was the one who spoke seeing that Gerken didn't speak .
"I don't think so . I was the one who killed him . Gerken cut his head, which let me give the final blow, but it doesn't have any sense that he would be punished for it while I am fine . "
In fact, Yale was thinking that maybe the fact of the time resetting was the reason for Gerken's suffering . After all, Gerken wasn't a Timeless Sovereign, but he still experimented something that surpassed the limits of time, which Yale felt that could be the source of the problem .
However, he didn't have any proof of that, and Gerken was perfectly well after going back in time to kill the planet owner .
"I think I know the reason . "
Gerken spoke with a low voice . He knew that there wasn't any time to lose and that they should be leaving the planet as soon as possible, so he didn't want to become a nuisance .
At that moment, a light went out from Gerken's forehead, and he instantly recovered .
"As I expected . . . This thins is rejecting me . . . "
Yale, Shiba, and Lina were quite shocked after seeing that scene because it was the piece of the legacy of the universe creator .
Moreover, it was obvious that it was the real reason behind Gerken's pain .
"Why would the piece of legacy reject you now? It had helped you recently . . . No, maybe it is because it had helped you that you had also lost the qualifications to have it . "
Yale felt enlightened as he understood the reason for that rejection .
In exchange for another chance, the piece of a legacy lost its compatibility with Gerken . That time travel that saved the mission from failure hadn't been without a price .
Yale had been able to notice it because he was a Timeless Sovereign and affected him directly, but he hadn't been in mortal danger at any moment . However, Gerken would have his soul destroyed if the time hadn't gone backward .
Originally, the piece of legacy didn't have that effect, and Yale didn't know what had changed it, but it was easy to see that it was a one-time lifesaving chance, or more exactly a one situation lifesaver .
Yale felt that if they had failed again, the time reset would have also happened .
Of course, having chances to redo a situation until succeeding was something that Yale felt that was worthy of the exchange for the piece of legacy .
"Yale . I want to give it to Ange . She is my disciple and the only person I want to inherit it . Please take it until we return . Among all of us, you are the one with higher chances of survival, and I can't touch this piece of legacy anymore . "
Gerken didn't mind about losing the piece of a legacy because he had already been planning to gift it to Ange after the war ended .
Yale nodded and touched the piece of legacy, absorbing it . However, he felt that he could extract it anytime he wanted, so it felt quite different to his original piece which due to the methods to restrain his curse, was deeply merged with him and would be difficult to separate .
Although it wasn't impossible, he would need to put a lot of effort, while the new piece would leave his body with just a thought .
Yale explained about what happened when killing the planet owner .
"Don't rely on the possibility that the legacy can act in the same way for you two . This had never happened before, and given that activated just before Gerken's soul was extinguished, if you put your trust in it and doesn't happen, you will be done for . "
Yale didn't want that Lina and Shiba would rely on that possibility because it was far too dangerous .
As for giving the piece of Gerken to someone else betting for the chance, it was impossible .
If there had been someone compatible without a piece of legacy, it would have gone to that person automatically .
Those with a piece could have other pieces within them, but those were mainly to give them someday to a compatible person, not for themselves .
Gerken wished to give it to Ange, but that would only work if she were compatible .
However, giving that she was the daughter of Yale and Lina, she had high chances of being compatible . After all, Yale's case showed that with both parents being compatible it, the chances of the child being also compatible were high .
It would be difficult to believe that Yale being compatible was just a coincidence completely unrelated to his parents .
After solving Gerken's problem, Yale's group left the planet . Although it had been sealed, someone with the authority of a planet owner could enter and leave at will .
The only outcomes for that planet were to remain sealed or be destroyed .
After all, only a sixth level immortal would be able to break that seal, and it was too difficult that someone with that status would take any risk just to unseal that planet .
"The war has just started . There is still a lot of work to do . From now on, the same strategy won't work . The news about the war should be spread by the time we reach any other important planet . Our target should be people of a similar and slightly lower level than us . However, we must disperse, going all together won't be useful, and Gerken can't take again this kind of risk . "
Yale had to admit that he underestimated the deceased planet owner, so he didn't dare to do it again .
Lina and the others could kill people stealthy, but people that they could kill without problems even if a battle started .
As for Yale himself, he planned to seek people of his level, those a bit weaker than the planet owner they had killed .
He was confident in surviving against them, and even if he could tie them, it would be a great assist for the rest of people battling on the war .
As for killing those weaker, Yale felt that would only catch attention and could end attracting too many opponents .
Picking only one and preventing that one from calling for help would be the best outcome .
