Last Wish System Chapter 604
Advertisement
Yale reached the door of the living room following Awat, but just before opening Awat opened the door, Yale sent a message to Nevah.
"Contact me when you are about to become a Great Goddess. I will make it seem that you killed someone I left almost dead to justify the membership of the Council of Gods."
Since the war was about to happen in the future and the Council of Gods was already starting to prepare, it would be problematic if Nevah had a membership appearing from nowhere. Others might think that she was conspiring with enemies of the Council of Gods, so Yale decided to offer his help.
"Thank you. I will contact you then."
Nevah had been really worried about what to do when the seal of the membership disappeared. She had heard some things about the war from her parents, so she feared that she would involve her parents in her problems if she advanced to Great Goddess someday.
Yale and Nevah entered into the living room while Awat just stood beside the door in case he was needed.
"Yale, you are as quick as always. Come, take a seat. It seems that you already met our beautiful daughter. What do you think? She doesn't lose against your daughter in beauty."
The man seemed very proud of his daughter.
"Kabur, my daughter is obviously better, she is already a Great Goddess while yours is still a Minor Goddess. Moreover, there is no doubt that my daughter is better in behavior and looks."
Yale knew that Kabur and his wife envied him for having such a beautiful and gentle daughter, so they tried to boast about their own daughter after having one, but Yale wasn't planning to put Ange at Nevah's level.
As a father, there was no way he didn't consider his daughter the best. Moreover, she was his first daughter, and the only one he had with Lina since the others were just adopted, so she had a special place on his heart.
Although he still loved a lot the others, he would lie if he said that Ange wasn't the most favored in his heart. Without her, he wouldn't have even able to reincarnate properly, so the others couldn't compare with her.
"Our daughter is still younger than yours. I am sure she will turn stronger in the future."
The one who replied was Kabur's wife.

"Gloriana, she might turn stronger, but I doubt that her personality can change. She isn't a bad girl, but I can tell that her personality loses to my Ange."
When Yale spoke, Nevah couldn't endure it anymore and left the room before hearing what her parents would tell in reply. It was too embarrassing hearing them boast about her, and she knew her parents very well, and until Yale conceded, they would continue, so she decided to leave.
When Nevah left the room, Awat followed her because he received an order from Kabur to do so.
"Now that we are alone, we need to speak about serious matters."
The ambient changed with Kabur's words. It seemed as if the previous conversation never happened.
"I know. That is why you told me that I could come alone, right? I bet that you want to speak about the war and that competition among disciples."
Kabur and Gloriana never thought that Yale would already know about those topics.
"So, you already know. That is right. There are several of us that didn't like the decision of keeping it hidden from others, so we organized to stealthy told everything to those close to use. Especially, a lot of us didn't want to hide it from the Time Faction. We are the closest to you among all who knew this matter, so we took the job of telling you so you could tell Alrein and Kroh, but now it seems that your network surpassed our expectations."
There was no way everyone agreed to hide the information, but they didn't want to provoke internal strife just before the war, so they decided to tell the others stealthy.
"It just happened that Barha took my sister as her disciple, so I made her speak everything she knew, which I need to say that wasn't too much, but at least I have a general idea."
Yale hoped to obtain more detailed information from Kabur and Gloriana.
"That girl never cared about rules, so it isn't surprising that she did it so openly."
Kabur sighed before continuing.
"Well, we will tell you what we know. You came here expecting it, right?"
Kabur and Gloriana knew what Yale wanted, so they didn't plan to hide anything.
"Right. Please tell."
Seeing Yale's straightforward reply, Kabur started to explain.
"As you know, a war will happen. Our enemies are rebel members of the Council of Gods that left after the Gods Calamity and those following them. We lack details of their overall strength, but they definitely aren't weak."

Yale had already killed people of that group because the ones who attacked Alrein's universe belonged to them.
He was already expecting them to be the enemies since the hate they had for the Council of Gods was just too great and unreasonable. Speaking with them would be useless.
"Until now, their members just acted separately provoking problems for us, but this time they are organizing, and they are preparing something big. I even heard that the Goddess who was behind of that weapon we erased had joined them, and someone who had such a wicked idea, who knew what she could create. She isn't strong, but her ideas are dangerous."
Although that Goddess wasn't really the one who created it, it was attributed to her.
"That woman is someone I will kill once I meet her."
Yale hated her for what happened in the past, so there wouldn't be any mercy if Yale met her.
"Even disregarding that woman, the number of Great Gods they have gathered in enough to be problematic for us. Moreover, they don't have any morals, so they are difficult to deal with."
Although the Council of Gods was feared, a lot of people also hated it because some members had been too overbearing. In fact, Alter Yale was also a rebel member who didn't like the Council of Gods, but he was a lone wolf who also hated the organizations that opposed the Council of Gods.
"We definitely need a proper organization of our members to deal with them. They go by the law of the jungle, so the strongest is the one who rules, but as you should know, we have chosen a different way. Although the idea was proposed with second intentions, it is certainly a good way to differentiate from them if it is done fairly."
It was true that the strongest might not be the best to lead others, so the idea of using the disciples didn't sound bad for most of the members, although they didn't like the underhanded means of hiding the information until the last moment.
"I think that my identity as Master Liye isn't a secret to them. If they chose this method, they should have known that it won't hinder me. Anyway, Kroh and Alrein don't have this fame, so if their plan had succeeded, I would have been the only one with some authority left."
Yale didn't dislike the method of using disciples because it was also a good chance for others to get powerful masters. Especially given how picky the members of the Council of Gods were.
"I am sure they knew about this. I don't think they wanted to offend the Time Faction. If they oppressed you all, you might rebel against the Council of Gods, so they ensured that at least one of the members won't have problems obtaining a good position with the method they proposed."
Offending the Time Faction was downright foolish in that situation, but the others also needed to look for their interests. Thus, they decided a method that at least wouldn't hinder Yale. As long as one member of the Time Faction could obtain a high position, it was difficult that they were so stubborn as to reject the selection methods.
Although the influence of the Time Faction would be lowered, they would have at least a member with authority, so the others didn't believe that too many problems could happen.
"Well, they underestimated Alrein and Kroh, they already have disciples that are strong enough to be members of the Council of Gods if they wanted to join. I need to say that they were already that strong before I learned about this matter, and those disciples meet the conditions. Of course, I also have a disciple at that level."
The plan of the other members wasn't bad, but they really underestimated Alrein and Kroh.
Alrein was the one who created the Origin Path and the Fake Origin Path, so anyone who practiced them even once counted as his disciple. Those who had come from the previous universe had all learned how to train from him, so the number of people that he could consider disciples wasn't low. It was just that he didn't take the role of an orthodox master, so that was usually unknown by others.
Kroh didn't have disciples before, and it was mostly unknown that Kroh had taken Kanai as a disciple, so it was understandable that others didn't think about that possibility.
Yale didn't know the disciples of the others, but he was sure that they couldn't be better.
