Yale spent a hundred years learning everything about the Sacred Empire.

After all, knowledge about the enemy was a crucial part if he wanted to accomplish his objectives.

Just as Yale expected, when he looked at the troops of the Sacred Empire, there was a huge army surrounding the city where Wyba lived, which was the only city of Yale's Kingdom.

Moreover, it seems that Wyba hadn't noticed about it since it was still night at the outside and the sacred kingdom was careful to avoid being detected.

From the start, the Sacred Kingdom was more powerful than Yale's Kingdom, so it would be hard for them to be noticed. However, they feared that someone from the Otref Kingdom will appear if they were discovered.

They felt that the worst possibility was that the Blacksmith Prince would appear backed by hundreds of experts wanting to obtain a weapon in exchange for the help. With the Blacksmith Prince's fame, it wouldn't be difficult gathering powerful experts in exchange for weapons.

Although they had successfully developed the Existence Eraser Bomb, they couldn't offend the whole universe simultaneously.

Sadly, from Tenir's castle, it was possible to see the outside, but it was impossible to interact with it without leaving.

Furthermore, Yale knew that after leaving, he wouldn't have time to look for someone since he would need to act immediately.

The strength of the Sacred Empire wasn't something that Yale felt that he could face directly after learning in detail about it. Even just rescuing Wyba seemed incredibly difficult.

As for advancing to ninth level immortal, the training methods on Tenir's possession were still insufficient for Yale to create his own.

Yale planned to have Tenir teaching him a bit after that, but he delayed it because he felt that Jika and Dan were finally near to reach immortality.

They needed a lot of time, but they finally reached that step, so Yale spent a whole year preparing them for the breakthrough.

The breakthrough to reach immortality wasn't dangerous at all, but since Jika and Dan had a special bloodline compared to others in the universe, Yale ensured that both would be able to extract the most benefits of it with the breakthrough.

That breakthrough wasn't dangerous, but the one to Minor God was.

Yale had heard it from Tenir, who had died several times trying to advance. He was only alive because his curse saved him.

The breakthrough to Minor God could kill the one trying to advance, injure that person, or nothing at all when failing.

Tenir was qualified to make the breakthrough, but he was cursed to fail, and the same curse wouldn't let him die for that failure.

After all, advancing was the same as ascending, which would make him flee from the Sacred Empire, which was against the deal.

Tenir could only ascend if the Sacred Empire disappeared or he himself reached the Minor Time Divinity, which since was something Great God Kroh wanted to see, the curse wouldn't affect Tenir.

Anyway, Great God Kroh didn't have any expectations about Tenir in that aspect because Tenir just advanced in his control of time thanks to the curse. He was different from people Great God Kroh observed that managed to obtain some control over time by themselves.

"You two, prepare for the breakthrough. Don't worry, it is easy."

After finishing remembering the difficult breakthrough that waited for everyone who wanted to become a Minor God and feeling pity for Tenir's situation, Yale finally spoke to Dan and Jika.

Both were ready to advance at the same time. In fact, their progress had always been parallel like if one couldn't advance without the other doing it first, which Yale attributed to the connection between their souls.

After that breakthrough, both of them would recover their memories, so Yale wasn't sure how would that affect their personalities.

Tenir was also present on the breakthrough, but mostly because he didn't have anything better to do. If there was something he had, it was time.

Despite the long preparations, the breakthrough finished in the blink of an eye without any major difficulties. However, both looked absent-minded just after that.

They were recovering their memories while also obtaining knowledge from their bloodline, so it was still difficult to process for their minds.

Anyway, even being difficult to process, they just needed five minutes.

"Congratulations on reaching immortality. Do you remember everything now?"

Yale could see the complex looks of the faces of Jika and Dan. Although they had recovered their memories, they were still in a half-beast child body.

Moreover, they had lived more in that body than in their old one.

"We remember."

Dan spoke just two words.

"We remember, but I don't care about it. In this life, you are my only father."

Jika also remembered the betrayal of her family, so the memories of being Yale's adopted daughter turned even more important to her.

"This life is definitely better than our previous one."

Dan spoke after hearing Jika. He already knew that Jika would react like that, and he was happy that she did it.

After all, Jika would be happier in that way.

Although both had recovered their memories, those were just twenty years of memories, which paled compared to the time they spent as wolves, so it didn't have a huge impact on them.

Yale was secretly pleased with those reactions since he would feel quite lonely if both of them suddenly started to act like different persons, but in the end, their personalities after reincarnation remained. It was just that they obtained twenty additional years of memories.

Their breakthrough was a joyful event, but Yale wasn't in the mood for celebrations, so he left after giving them their training methods.

Spending a whole year focusing on them despite his mind being filled with how to help Wyba was already a lot.

Of course, if Jika and Dan were in Wyba's situation, Yale wouldn't be in a mood for celebrating anything either; the same would apply for any person close to Yale who was facing that kind of situation.

Yale used the time to obtain as much useful knowledge as he could from Tenir, but what he spent the most time studying was Tenir's curse.

That was a curse different from any curse that Yale had seen before. Although Yale could see that the one who set it was the same as the one who cursed Alrein's universe, the concepts of both were different.

Usually, curses were unilateral, and the one who received them had to suffer them or manage to block them, but a curse made through a deal was impossible to block or stop without fulfilling the deal.

Normal curses were difficult to dispel, but with someone powerful enough, it was possible. On the other hand, not even a Great God could disperse a deal curse, but if the deal were fulfilled, the curse would disappear automatically.

Yale ended up using ten thousand years studying the curses, so counting the total time he spent there, it was about a second outside.

However, those ten thousand years gave Yale an unexpected benefit. His control over time reached the bottleneck before the Minor Time Divinity.

Reaching that level in just ten thousand years was incredible, and in normal conditions, Yale would have needed at least ten million years in the best cases.

However, cross-referencing Tenir's curse, with the one inside him since he became a Timeless Sovereign let Yale gain a deep understanding about the time that made him laugh at his past self that believed that was skillful controlling time.

Yale's understanding was at the same level as Tenir's, but the source of Yale's understanding was more complete, so in practical use, Yale's control over the time was far stronger than Tenir's.

"I am leaving. I doubt that I can improve more by remaining here."

One day Yale finally spoke, which Tenir had been expecting to happen since he noticed the breakthrough on Yale's time control.

Tenir was impressed by it, but at the same time, he didn't believe that it was enough to deal with the Sacred Empire.

However, just as Yale said, remaining there, he wouldn't improve more, at least in a short time, but since Yale couldn't spend billions of years there to make a tiny improvement like Tenir was doing, it was easy to predict that Yale would leave.

Tenir, Jika, and Dan went to bid farewell to Yale to the portal that would leave Yale the nearest to Yale's Kingdom and the Sacred Empire. Sadly, that was nearer to the Sacred Kingdom than Yale's Empire, but Tenir didn't have that many passages, so it was already great that there was one at such distance.

Jika and Dan were just too weak to follow Yale in that suicide mission. Yale had his plans, but just in case, he decided to leave those two with Tenir, who accepted taking care of them until Yale returned.

In fact, Tenir said that if Yale managed to rescue Wyba, he should run to a passageway and return to the castle since the Sacred Empire wouldn't dare to enter.

Of course, if they dared to enter, it was even better since Tenir would be able to make full use of the traps.

Yale also learned to make that kind of traps, but it wasn't useful in battle since the setting required a long time.

However, they were great to defend a single place if they had been set up beforehand.
