《Last Wish System 》Chapter 606: Kidnapped
Advertisement
Without mentioning anything of what he discovered in the Sealed Universe, Yale continued chatting with Kabur and Gloriana for a while before he decided to leave.
"I will leave now. I am still giving a special training to my best disciple, and I think that he will complete the current stage of his training soon. You two should also look for some disciples as soon as possible."
Kabur and Gloriana didn't have a single disciple. They had powerful servants, but they never thought of accepting a disciple. Moreover, Nevah never asked them to help to train before she became a Minor God. Thus, she couldn't be considered their disciple.
For the daughter of two strong Great Gods, there was no way that she would face difficulties until at least ninth level immortal, and since she was a reincarnation and already reached godship in her past life, she advanced to Minor God without problems.
"You are right. We will depart to look for disciples soon."
No matter if they wanted disciples or not because the situation was forcing them to take at least one.
There were a lot of members in a similar situation, but they weren't like Barha, who just wanted the cutest disciple possible. As members of the Council of Gods, their standards were incredibly high, so even lowering them a bit, finding someone who fit with their criteria was difficult.
Yale used the True Dimensional Divinity to appear directly at his house. Shiba would need some more time to complete his training, so Yale went to spend time with Lina. Whatever he told about Shiba being about to finish was just an excuse to leave.
Yale didn't know when the war would start, but he didn't believe that there would be any peaceful days once the competition among disciples started, especially after he saw that Sealed Universe through his incarnation.
Thus, he wanted to cherish the peaceful time while he could. Although he was confident in being alive after the war, he didn't believe that it would last for a short time.
In the following years, Yale just spent time with his family or went to help Shiba with his training.
That had been his routine until one day, someone who left the universe was in danger, so Yale was alerted and teleported there immediately.
There were countless dangers in the multiverse for most people, so Yale didn't dare to be negligent when he detected that one was in danger. After all, the ones who left to travel weren't as strong as Yale, who didn't really fear anyone. Even if he couldn't kill someone, at least he was confident that the other party couldn't kill him either.

What he feared was that his family and friends would be killed or tormented. Moreover, although he obtained the True Resurrection Divinity, he knew that it was possible that something like in the Sealed Universe happened outside, so Yale had been paying a lot of attention to the imprints he left in those that had left the universe.
The first impression of the place he appeared would be hot. It was hot enough that even a ninth level immortal wouldn't be able to relax at all. A mortal might directly melt in less than a second.
Of course, Yale just felt it hot, but there was no way it could affect him in any harming way.
The source of that heat was an enormous magma pool situated inside the house Yale appeared.
That wasn't natural magma, it was created to make a pool, a pool to swim. Yale didn't doubt that without the Great Fire Divinity, no one would dare to swim there.
After all, even a normal planet would melt with that level of heat, only a fire-loving freak would create something like that.
The place Yale was at that moment was a house, and one placed in its own dimension like Kabur's house.
There were two women in front of the pool, and Yale knew both of them. However, one was carrying the other under her neck as if she was some luggage.
"Fire Goddess, can you tell me why you are trying to kill my disciple?"
The Fire Goddess was a member of the Council of Gods, so Yale knew her. She was known for being impulsive and having a fiery temper. She wasn't someone who used to think before acting.
"Oh, welcome, Yale. Remember that I took the name Firene, don't just use my title, so cold... As for this, I am just trying to throw this little friend to the magma pool. I am not trying to kill her. She wouldn't understand how good it feels until she tried it."
She was from Kroh's era, so she didn't have a name until she decided one for herself. At the start, the only one with a name was Kroh, but others started to copy him afterward, although some of them had a huge lack of originality when thinking names.
What Firene was telling was really what she was thinking. She didn't believe that someone would die in that warm magma pool.

However, it was warm for her but mortally hot for a ninth level immortal. The girl in her arms would die if she was thrown there.
"She is just a ninth level immortal, don't put her in your own league. First, unseal her mouth. I am sure that she was complaining without stop, so you sealed her mouth to stop hearing her, but that doesn't change the fact that you are forcing her."
After hearing Yale's words, Firene decided to unseal the other woman's mouth.
"Yale! Please help me! This crazy woman kidnapped me! She said something about becoming her disciple, but you are my only master, so I declined. However, she just caught me and sealed my mouth so I couldn't complain! If you had come a bit later, I would have died in that magma pool."
The woman caught by Firene was Aizu. The imprint hadn't activated when she was kidnaped since just being forced to become a disciple wasn't dangerous for her, but once she saw that magma pool and heard about Firene's intentions, the imprint on her was activated alerting Yale.
Firene never had evil intentions, so the imprint wasn't activated until Aizu felt that she was really about to die.
Aizu's talent was considered good when she was a kid, but what was considered good by mortals didn't mean that was good for members of the Council of Gods. Strictly speaking, Yale couldn't find a single reason for Aizu being asked to become Firene's disciple.
Although it was possible to surpass talent with effort, Aizu had lost all her motivation to work hard long ago. She was freed from the forced marriage arranged by her clan, and Yale married Lina, so she became quite empty.
First, she was focused on just being free, but she became interested in Yale when she met him. Interest that later became love. However, that was all one-sided. Yale treated her well, like if they were siblings, but he never had any romantic thoughts about her.
She had trained hard for those two reasons, but once they disappeared, she became quite empty. Although she trained to kill time, it couldn't be considered working hard.
She was a 9th level immortal, but she was on the weak side without a single Minor Divinity.
Without strength, talent, and motivation, it was difficult that someone of the Council of Gods would show interest in her.
"You heard her. She is already my disciple, but I haven't helped her to train for a long time. If you want to accept her as your disciple, I won't complain. However, I can't let you kill her. I don't know why you have chosen her, but I can tell you that she can't survive to that magma pool."
Yale knew that a big part of Aizu's problem was his fault because he didn't reciprocate her feelings, but he didn't plan to marry every woman who showed interest in him. He had one wife, and he never felt romantic feelings for anyone else.
Thus, he wouldn't mind helping Aizu whenever she had problems training, but she tried to avoid Yale as much as she could because just seeing him as enough to make her feel pain. After all, she still liked him, but she knew that a relationship with him could only happen in her dreams.
However, she still agreed to wear the emblem of Yale's family on her clothes since at least it made her feel close to Yale. Moreover, it was a huge deterrent of problems since most strong beings could recognize the emblem.
The only ones allowed to wear it were the family members and disciples, so unless someone didn't know Yale or wanted to harm him, it was difficult that they attacked someone with that emblem.
Firene knew from the start that Aizu was Yale's disciple because she recognized the emblem.
"I know. I wanted someone with your emblem to take as a disciple for the competition. Kabur and Gloriana should have already told you all, right? I am on your side, and since I needed a disciple, I decided to do you a favor and chose someone close to you. I never had a disciple before, so her status will be great. Well, I admit that there is another reason for choosing her among all the ones wearing your emblem."
Yale was very curious about that other reason, so he indicated her to speak about it.

8 6872Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart
8 202Rise of Toki
From a common worm to human to a dragon, they have a gem embedded in their bodies since birth. These gems contained the skills of that specimen for it to grow and mature. The more skills one obtains, the stronger they become, the more evolutionary options they open. Then their powers would be passed down to their children to unlock. This is a story about a little tortoise rising up against ... the world! Maybe not. It all started out when this little tortoise sought out to find her little sister in a big world. My attempt to draw the main characters.

8 154The First's Apostle
Another one down. He wiped the sweat from his brow, once again cursing his luck. Out of anyone, this had to happen to him... Michael had just gotten his shit together, he even went back to getting an education. Just a normal sixteen year old boy. Now he was sent to the middle of fucking nowhere, to fight things that didn't exist. Hell, he wasn't even sure he was allowed to be here. The goddess wasn't exactly being secretive about that. Probably another way to have him depend on her. She had him in the palm of her hands and he wanted to jump off. He knew he'd be dead without her help though, just for now he had to play along. He had to follow orders.
