"Have you memorized the plan?"

In a Timeless Border created in the new universe, Yale asked Shiba.

"Yes. It has been a bit shocking learning everything, but I understand it. I already memorized it and will execute it without any failure. You can expect a perfect performance from me."

Shiba just knew a tiny bit of the plan before, but just before the second calamity started, Yale dragged him to the Timeless Border and started telling him everything.

"I don't expect any less from you. Really, it was good fortune that you discovered me before reincarnation and became my disciple. If we don't get the best outcome of the plan, I leave everything to you. Collaborate with Alrein and Kroh."

If Yale said something like that before Shiba heard the whole plan, the latter would have thought that his master worrying too much.

"We will get the best outcome. This war will be a calamity for others, but it is nothing for us. As for the part after the calamity, I trust you, master."

Shiba wanted to deny that his master could fail, but when he remembered the second half of the plan, he was unable to express more than his trust.

"It isn't a matter of trust. There are too many uncertain things regarding that part. Once the calamity starts, the next time we can speak like this with each other will probably be after the plan had succeeded with the best outcome. The slightest mistake will deserve me a fate far worse than death, so I don't plan to fail, but we need to be prepared for any situation."

Yale had been decided since he created the plan with Alrein and Kroh. At the start, they were just thinking of how to resurrect True Gods, but in the process, Yale discovered something that shifted the objective. Resurrecting the True Gods had a condition, but if that condition weren't fulfilled, it would be the end of the multiverse, so the matter of resurrection went to a second plane.

"Others probably think that you have taken the easiest position in the war against the rebels, but they can't understand that you are really the one facing the biggest danger since they don't know the truth."

Shiba really wanted that the others knew the intentions of his master, but he knew that the details of the plan couldn't be spoken outside the Timeless Border.

"It isn't their fault. I am not doing this for them, but because there is a lot of people I want to protect, so I can't allow the multiverse to be destroyed. My fate may be worse than death if I don't get the best outcome, but I won't die, so even Aiwai and Wyba wouldn't be harmed even if I fail despite their link to me. You can understand me, I know. I bet that you would jump to take my position if you could, but I am the only one with chances to succeed. Even Alrein and Kroh can only act as support for me in this plan."

Just as Yale said, if Shiba could, he would take the most dangerous job himself, but although he was Yale's disciple, he wouldn't be able to succeed.

It was already huge merit that Yale decided to tell him everything and give him an important part of the plan. Besides the members of the Time Faction, only Shiba and Ange had learned everything about the plan.

"I know. I won't ask for the impossible, but I won't fail on my part. This is the only thing I can do to aid you, master."

Shiba knew very well that he only needed to execute his part of the plan and didn't think about anything else.

"That is all I need. Good luck."

Shiba was expelled from the Timeless Border and continued moving through the universe. He knew that he couldn't look for his master nor enter the Timeless Border again. He didn't have the luxury of worry about the details of the latter part of the plan. He needed to ensure that at least there weren't problems on his own part.

Shiba wasn't traveling alone. Eini and Lina were with him since they were used to battle together. They just knew superficial parts from the plan, so they were completely unaware of the danger on the later part of the plan. It was possible that they would try to stop Yale if they knew, so it was decided to keep it secret from them. The same applied to almost anyone else.

If it weren't because they needed Shiba and Ange for the plan, they would have also avoided telling them.

After all, it was normal that the others would oppose Yale needing to face that kind of situation, but there wasn't any other way. If there was another way, Yale wouldn't be sacrificing so many people on the second calamity, nor would he face so much danger.

At that moment, the rebels were already in the universe, and both sides were already moving, so after some time, the battles between both sides started.

The rebels had already noticed that they couldn't leave that universe, but since they couldn't do anything about it, they just needed to continue with their plans. They decided to worry about how to leave after winning.

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 sensitive 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 were 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.
