Chapter 574
"In three seconds, I will start to kill everyone on my sight . One . . . "
Just after Yale spoke, the order of retreat reached the army, which made it seem like if their Emperor feared Yale to the point to obey what he said .
They might disregard Yale's words, but they would never doubt their Emperor, so they all started to run as fast as they could .
The only one that knew the truth was the leader, but he was the first to flee . After all, a potential God was far scarier than whatever the others were thinking .
However, no matter how fast they fled, they couldn't go out of Yale's reach in just three seconds .
Yale might be in problems facing them all simultaneously, but if they were focused on fleeing, he would be able to kill several .
Even the members of the army knew that a lot of them would die, but they just hoped that it would be someone else who was chased by Yale since he was only one person, and they were fleeing to different directions .
"Three . "
Once Yale finished to speak, he reached in an instant the nearest member of the army and cut him down together with space itself .
That was something that just put more fear on all the other fleeing members because they knew how difficult it was .
Those fleeing in different directions than Yale's fist target thought that they were already safe, but then, they saw countless ice wolves pursuing them .
Each of them wasn't too strong, but their number was just too overwhelming, so they didn't dare to face them directly, or Yale would have time to catch them later .
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Yale finally lost the trace of the rest of the army, more than half of it had been killed, which was a big hit to the military power of the universe .
When the news of those deaths spread, even against the Emperor's will, the day was known by everyone as the Ninth Level Immortal Tragedy .
The Emperor was angry, but he knew that there was no way to hide the deaths of so many ninth level immortals .
On the other hand, despite his anger, he didn't want to antagonize Yale, if possible . His army surrounded him first, so he could understand that Yale was cruel against them .
If Yale had just let them flee, the Emperor would have doubted of Yale's strength . The fact that he gave them three seconds was already enough mercy to show that he didn't want to become their enemy, but he shouldn't be provoked .
That was how the Emperor interpreted those three seconds, so he believed that it was possible to reach a deal with Yale instead of an all-out fight .
He didn't know if he could kill Yale or not with the difference of numbers, but he was sure that even if he could, most of the army he prepared so carefully for so many years would disappear, and he didn't want that to happen unless there was no other way .
"Spread the face of this person . Whoever sees him has to report it to me and, if possible, tell him that I invite him to the palace . Remember, under any circumstance, you can anger him, he is almost as strong as me . I can deal with him, but you all can't . He probably is the Emperor of some other universe that came for a visit to speak about cooperation in the invasion, but we surrounded him with a part of our army, which should have left him with a bad impression, we need to think more in our multiverse politics . "
The Emperor wouldn't admit that Yale was stronger than him, but he didn't want that any of his subordinated thought that they could offend him just because the Emperor was behind them .
Everyone believed the Emperor without any doubt, he lied so much to the whole universe in the past that he acquired the Minor Lie Divinity long ago, although he wasn't conscious of it .
There was a huge stir in the universe due to that information being spread, but they just admired how far-sighted was the Emperor to start to think about the relationship with other universes, which seemed important given that they would participate in an invasion together with several other universes .
"If the worst happens, I guess that I would need to contact those higher universe's smugglers again . Those scammers had good services, but their prices are way too high, if it weren't because that Minor God and my father weren't people I could kill on my own, I would have never wasted so much . However, the same happens with this guy . If he doesn't plan to harm my plans, I can save the resources, but if he turns into a nuisance, I will need to pay the high price again . "
As a great coward, the Emperor didn't discard that maybe Yale had bad intentions, but the situation didn't let him any other choice than invite him friendly, so he was starting to think if contacting those smugglers again .
"Let's wait a bit first . Probably I won't need the smugglers at all . "
He was a coward, but he was also greedy, and he didn't want to waste so many resources just for a vague possibility .
To deal with Yale, he believed that without contracting a Minor God that descended restraining its strength, it wouldn't be possible . Smugglers also dealt with bodyguard jobs and killing, but they were far more expensive . He still felt pain when he thought how expensive it had been contracting someone to kill his brother's mother .
"But what if he really is a threat? Maybe I should contact them and buy information first . "
His love for money and his life was in a huge battle inside him, but he finally decided to contact the smugglers .
Just buying information wasn't expensive compared to buy items, so he decided that he would endure it . In fact, it was still extremely expensive, it just wasn't expensive compared to buy other things .
The Emperor didn't waste time and contacted the smugglers .
"Hi! An old customer seems to have contacted us again . What do you need?"
The shadow of a beautiful woman appeared in front of the Emperor . She was just a receptionist of the Smuggler Association she belonged to, and she was just a Minor God, but that was enough to deal with small costumers .
If the client were someone with greater background, there would be someone else appearing, but for small fries like that Emperor, it was already an honor that a Minor God greeted him .
"This guy appeared on my universe . I don't know his intentions, but I am sure that he is a Minor God restraining his strength . I want information about him just in the case that I need to face him . "
The shadow of the beautiful woman didn't find the request strange at all and looked at the paper with Yale's information and some recordings, and then, her face changed .
"Are you sure that this person is in your universe?"
With that question, the Emperor noticed that the woman recognized Yale .
"Yes, is this person famous or something like that? How much for the information?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe already paid a huge price just for contacting the Smuggler Association, but he knew that for getting all the information he would need to pay for it independently .
"No need for payment, but you must promise to follow my instructions . "
The Emperor was shocked that the greedy Smuggler Association rejected payment in exchange for something like following their instructions .
"Alright . "
Anyway, it wasn't like if the Emperor could say no . He wasn't strong enough to offend the Smuggler Association .
"No matter what happens, don't offend that person . If he is angry, your universe will disappear, and our Smuggler Association can follow it for having been in contact with you . "
Hearing the scared voice of the woman, the Emperor knew that he did well contacting the Smuggler Association .
"Maybe he is a God instead of a Minor God . Don't tell me that he is a Great God . "
The coward Emperor started to think is the worst, but he didn't expect what he would hear a moment after that .
"He is Great God Yale, a member of the Council of Gods, do you understand its meaning?"
The face of the Emperor was pale . He already thought that a Great god was a calamity, but a member of the Council of Gods was even worse . At that moment, he was sure that Yale just played with his subordinated before, or they all would have died .
"It seems so . Listen, right now, even other members of the Council of Gods are interested in Great God Yale; they want to be his friends . Do you understand? If you antagonize him, who knows if someone would kill you to win his favor even if he ignores you . "
The Smuggler Association dealt a lot with information, so even members of the Council of Gods used them sometimes, which was the only reason they could exist in peace .
They weren't like that smuggler woman with so much ambition . Although they were on illegal trading, they knew their limits . Even for jobs to act as a bodyguard or to assassinate someone, they just acted as the middleman to avoid participating in them directly .
Thus, they were very careful of people that could provoke a calamity for them, and Yale was on the list of people they shouldn't offend .
