Chapter 498 The Seal Breaks, the War Starts
The cracks on the seal continued to increase until it broke apart, opening the passageway between the two universes again.
"Charge!"
The Battle God shouted, and the army advanced towards the passageway.
Yale's group was also advancing through the passageway, but they tried to be in a position difficult to detect and didn't charge in the front like the Battle God and the generals.
On the other side of the passageway, there was also an army waiting, but they had only been stationed there in case the seal opened, so that wasn0t their main force.
After all, that was just a hypothetic case, and they couldn't have all their forces stationed there just in case because they also thought that something like that might have been the intention of that seal.
Thus, they were quite surprised when an army charged towards them. Usually, they had the superiority on numbers, but that time, they were far inferior to their opponents.
An instant later, the war started.
The people of Yale's universe were battling without care for their own lives. They wanted to wipe out that small army in front of them before the main forces of their enemies could arrive.
Virtually all the members of the army under the Battle God's army had some resentment towards the universe of the other army, so they were quite fierce, but the other army was just forced to stay in guard there, and they had always attacked the other universe because they were following orders.
Their motivations were far too different, and that was something that affected their battle prowess.
Although the army Yale's universe obtained the initiative, and they were killing a lot of members of the other army, they were also losing people.
At that same moment, on the other passageway, the universe creator and Yale's mother started to go all put attacking the forces in front of them.
They had noticed that the army had entered in that universe, and they didn't plan to let that any of the forces in that area diverted their attention to the other battlefield.
Until that moment, they had been only attacked those who approached the area of the passageway, but that time, they charged towards their enemies.
Yale's group hadn't joined the battle. After crossing the passageway, Yale put a hand on Gerken's cloak.
"Stay in contact with someone like we planned!"
After Yale spoke, everyone obeyed. Yale was the only one touching Gerken's cloak except for Gerken himself who was wearing it, but the rest were either touching Yale, someone who was touching Yale and so on.
"Expand the area of effect!"
Yale shouted again, and the Last Wish System activated.
He had modified it to add that function, but it wasn't something that could be used frequently.
Not even a single thought could distract someone as strong as Yale to make that cloak to expand its effects, but the Last Wish System was part of Yale and yet didn't have any thoughts or emotions, so could do it successfully.
Of course, if Yale hadn't the Celestial Knowledge, his high level, and his knowledge about crafting, he wouldn't have been able to do something like that even once.
All of them disappeared thanks to the effects of the cloak.
The effects would barely last for ten minutes, but with their speed, that was enough to leave the area of the war.
Being forced to leave the battlefield when all the others were battling was hard for them, but they knew that their mission was more important.
After all, the members of the army were all obeying orders because they were slaves of their superiors, so if they killed the ones giving orders, the war would end.
The whole universe was enslaved, and their lives were linked to their universe creator, so they couldn't disobey the hierarchy created by him.
In a war among mortals, ten minutes was a short time, but for people like those battling in that war, a second was enough to provoke huge damages to the other party.
Yale's group didn't dare to look behind or send their divine sense to check the state of the war because they felt that even if they weren't discovered, they might not resist the urge of going to help them.
A lot of people would die in those ten minutes and even more after they escaped from the battlefield. Moreover, it wouldn't be that difficult that people they knew would die in the war.
Yale could sense the lives of the wolves battling in the war, and they were dying without stop. He had never met those who died, but he still felt pained.
Those wolves chose to sacrifice themselves when seeing that they were doomed, but they took at least a hundred enemies with each of them.
There wasn't any Ice Tribulation in the war because the Battle God said that it was better to save it as a trump card for a more important moment.
Moreover, unless someone made a breakthrough, it wouldn't be easy to invoke an Ice Tribulation without Yale there.
When the expanded effects of the cloak vanished, Yale's group was far enough for not even Yale's divine sense being able to detect what was happening on the war.
At that moment, they were all wearing clothes that could camouflage their aura, so they wouldn't be easily detected as people of the other universe.
The group stopped in a planet, which was their first target.
Based on Yale's memories from another future, the suicide reinforcements that would be sent from that planet would be very harmful to the army.
Although the situation wasn't exactly like it was in the other time because there were some people participating in the war that wasn't in the other future like Revgen's group, in Yale's opinion their strength was far from enough to provoke a huge change on the war.
The people of that planet seemed to live normal lives unless the owner of that planet gave an order, but in fact, everything in their lives had been decided by that person.
Their work, the person they would marry, how many children they need to have, how much time they could rest, and even their hobbies.
Everything about them was determined by the owner of that planet, who was comparable to the Battle God in strength. In other words, not even Yale was his match on a frontal battle.
Although Yale wouldn't be killed if they battled against each other, unless the other party made a huge mistake, Yale would have a very difficult time to win.
Thus, they wouldn't battle; they would infiltrate and kill him when his guard was down.
Besides the owner of the planet, the others weren't too strong, and it wouldn't be hard for Yale to kill them all, but that would alert the planet owner who was the true danger.
The main problem was that even those who weren't too strong on Yale's eyes had a self-destruction formation that could kill even Origin Gods. It was a way of showing how to use quantity to overcome quality.
From a certain point of view, the people of that planet were also victims despite being their enemies. They were fated to be sent to die without any chance of surviving.
Even that planet owner was a slave of his universe creator, so he was being forced to act like that, but in his case, he enjoyed that kind of actions and enjoyed some power of decision, so he couldn't be considered merely a victim.
Most people on that universe became twisted from having been controlled from their births. They even started to like accomplishing what others ordered them.
For those ordered to kill and torture, they developed a taste for it, and those that were ordered to suffer would also end up liking it.
After all, their superiors could sense how they felt, and if they didn't like their role, they were killed together with everyone related to them.
The main reason for all the problems of that universe was the one who created it. That person was the truly vicious one who created the rules of that universe and enjoyed how it was.
That universe was created by him after managing to obtain a method to erase the existence of someone else.
He used it to erase the universe creator of his original universe, and after that, he created a new one before absorbing the old one killing all the lifeforms there that hadn't turned into his slaves.
That person always had the obsession of being the number one and never be second to someone else. Even people at the same level as him couldn't be allowed because he feared being betrayed like he had betrayed his own universe creator.
If it weren't because he was too weak, he wouldn't be willing to be subordinate to the higher universe, but since he wasn't strong enough, he was enduring while trying to increase the level of his own universe.
However, besides himself, no one knew about his intentions and past except Alter Yale, who had learned about it in his timeline.
Everyone from that universe creator's original universe had been slowly killed after he obtained new people to use with similar strengths.
He wanted to destroy his past, so no one was allowed to know it. He wanted to be considered an omnipotent God, something that had always existed and didn't have a past as a mortal, nor someone who had trained until his level.
