Last Wish System-Chapter 630: The Initial Battles of the Second Calamity
The disciple of the Space God didn't know if Ange was telling the truth or it was just a bluff to scare him, but he had lived long enough to know that regardless if Ange told the truth or not, she was still strong enough to make him take her seriously on the battle.
The area had been sealed, so the option of fleeing was impossible. Thus, he could only risk his life and hope that Ange wasn't as monstrous as she said she was.
As for Devy, he had decided to ignore her. He knew that he wasn't in a situation to care for that girl, and the area was isolated anyway, so he didn't believe that she could flee.
Ange didn't seem to be in a rush to finish the battle, so her opponent started to think that she might have exaggerated about her own power, but even after several days of battle, she hadn't received a single blow from him, which showed that at least, she was a real threat.
Ange couldn't kill the disciple of the Space God too quickly. She needed to kill him at the time set on the plan, so she had been purposely delaying the battle.
When that battle had started, several other battles started on the universe, but most of them weren't as carefree as Ange or Kanai, who weren't in real problems despite being facing extremely strong opponents.
Firene, Aizu, Nevah, and Nurvey were working to deal with one of the leaders and her three followers, the female that was in the meeting with Lesta when Ange obtained the membership of the Council of Gods. However, both sides seemed evenly matched, so the battle looked like it would last for a long time.
Firene was the only one who could deal with the True Goddess they were facing, so the others needed to focus on the followers that matched her own levels.
There was another group facing one of the leaders that had been together with Lesta at that meeting. In that case, the ones facing that leader and his subordinates were Tofesh, Clair, Diane, and Zack.
However, they were battling together rather than taking one each other as the other group. The main reason was that Diane and Zack were too focused on long-range attacks, so it wasn't practical having them go one versus one.
Tofesh and Clair weren't from the Council of Gods, but they had been personally targeted by the rebels, so it was also a personal battle for them. They didn't know Yale's plan, so they were trying their best to kill their opponents as soon as possible. Tofesh and Clair both preferred close combat fights, so they combined quite well.
Only those who could win too quickly were told to restrain themselves and drag on the battle.
Kabur, Gloriana, Lily, and Bashi were also battling together, but they had a single opponent. However, that didn't change the fact that they were at a disadvantage. Their opponent was a True God and a very powerful one, so even the four combined were just enough to stall for time.
They didn't even hope to win. They just wanted to endure long enough for someone else going to help them. After all, that was the case with a lot of members of the Council of Gods battling the rebels. Those without options to win were told to endure until others could go to their aid.
Among other groups, they were quite well since they are were wearing reinforced clothes made with yale's True Dimensional Divinity, so despite being at a disadvantage, it wasn't easy for their opponent to harm them.
Of the others of Yale's group, Shiba, Lina, and Eini were still traveling as a group, but they had only met small foes that were killed easily. They had yet to find their targets. Astel was in the same situation as them.
Alrein wasn't in battle, but because it wasn't the time for it yet. He knew very well what he needed to do.
Barha and Wyba could be considered to be in battle, but it was more of a one-side slaughtering from their part. The effects of their divinities when being together were far too strong, so the opponents weren't trying to attack back even if they were being killed.
The rebels facing them never thought of harming them in the slightest. Instead, they all wanted to capture them alive and bring back to their homes to look at them whenever they wanted. They would rather let themselves be killed than harm them. That was how crazy had they went.
Unless the enemy was someone capable of isolating consciousness to prevent being affected by the Cuteness Divinity or was someone who wasn't moved at all by their cuteness, Wyba and Barha didn't seem to need to face any danger in that war.
Of course, a big group of fans had appeared to protect them, and they were the ones having a hard time. Their actions were completely useless, but they wouldn't hear Barha and Wyba telling them that they didn't need to protect them since the others didn't want to harm them, and they could just kill the enemies before they managed to capture them.
The number of deaths in that battle was already equal to the number of deaths in all the rest of the universe together. Moreover, those battling there had completely forgotten about the reasons for the war. Wyba and Barha were the only reasons in their minds.
Yale was monitoring the universe, so he noticed about that. He believed that if he spread fake news that Barha would marry the winner of the battle royal to death, a war that could be considered a Calamity would happen.
As for Wyba, Yale didn't want to mention something like that, even if it was just an idea for making fake news. However, he knew that Barha and Wyba combined had an effect far higher than just the sum of them, and the situation on the second calamity was showing it clearly.
While the battles were happening, it was difficult for those in the universe to notice that the universe had been slowly shrinking in size. It was slow but constant.
As time passed, that universe wasn't the only one with battle happening. Some of the rebels had gone to universes related to the Council of Gods to destroy them, so those left to protect them were already defending them. However, neither those defending nor those attacking were very powerful, except in one case.
There were strong people like Graenk left in Alrein's universe, and the one who attacked them was also one of the strongest of the rebels.
It wasn't a coincidence. Alrein's universe was the place where Alrein and Yale lived, and even Kroh placed a lot of importance on it, so it was easy to guess that it would become an important target.
"To think that there will be people waiting for us here. It seems that you aren't as stupid as I thought, but daring to face me head-on is still stupid."
The leader of the group that invaded Alrein's Universe was the True God holding the nickname Battle God. He knew that Graenk used that nickname in the past when the universe was far too weak to knew about the rules of the nicknames of the Gods, but it wasn't like the true Battle God cared. He wanted to test how strong Graenk was, and then, kill him.
"Attacking us is the only stupid thing here. No one of you will leave this universe alive."
Graenk was decided to protect Alrein's Universe at any cost, and everyone behind him felt in the same way.
Everyone capable of battle was ready to protect the universe. The strongest ones were there to face the invaders directly, but others were spread through the universe to face those who managed to slip past the main force.
Of course, Aiwai and a lot of Yale's old friends and disciples were joining the defense of the universe in one way or another. The only ones that weren't there were the ones in the main battlefield and those who went to protect the Multiverse Trading Association.
The Multiverse Trading Association was also a target, but since the dimension where it was located was quite small and Yale filled it with traps, even the rebels didn't dare to attack it at big scale, so the attacking force there was quite weak compared to the one in other universes.
"You sure know how to speak. Now let's see if you also know how to battle."
The true Battle God attacked Graenk just after finishing to speak, but Graenk blocked it without problems.
"Not bad, but this isn't enough if you want to defeat me."
Graenk punched the true Battle God, sending him flying backward.
Graenk had advanced to True God, and he was very good when battling others, so he wasn't weaker than the true Battle God, but he was wearing the clothing set Yale made and managed to learn the Dimensional Divinity, so his defense was superior. Sadly, he only managed to get the Dimensional Divinity, he didn't manage to obtain the Great Dimensional Divinity.
"This will be interesting."
The real Battle God was excited when he felt the strength behind that punch.
"Come. It is time for me to make that old nickname an official one."
Graenk was the strongest there, so he put his focus on the true Battle God, leaving the rest for the others.
