"Then, it is settled. We will ignore this incident, but we gave orders of not interfering with those related with the Council of Gods for the time being, and it seems that they aren't effective enough."
A cloaked man that seemed to hold a high position in the organization spoke and no one dared to mention the matter of the Lecherous Emperor again.
However, the other matter mentioned was enough to make them worried.
"Usually, I would be happy for harming the Council of Gods in any way, but having our members provoking them right now isn't good for our plans. Who knows if that bastard knew the identity of that woman or not, but if this happens again, the Council of Gods may start the war before we finish our investigation."
The cloaked woman was the first to reply.
Although it wasn't impossible to win the war without completing the plan, it would be far more difficult, and it would be too uncertain. After all, they knew that there were people capable of resurrecting others on the other side. At the start, they only worried about Kroh, but their problems increased after the True Resurrection Divinity appeared.
Without completing their investigation, they felt that the Time Faction could sit in a safe place resurrecting whoever died, and even if they only sent Great Gods to war, it would still be problematic enough in the long term.
"The behavior of our subordinates is problematic, but we know that they are like this. None of us is willing to be shackled by others. They might be suppressed because we are stronger than them, but they can't restrain themselves completely, even knowing the consequences. If it wasn't because we still need pawns, we wouldn't be allowing their behavior."
That cloaked man was the one who laughed before. He was together with Lesta in the experiments of the Sealed Universe. There were a lot of other members experimenting there, but they were the only two True Gods, so they were considered the leaders.
They were all rebels, so they knew that it wasn't realistic expecting an exemplar behavior of their subordinates, or they wouldn't have turned enemies of the Council of Gods. However, they couldn't just kill everyone who broke the rules, or they would self-destroy as an organization before the war.
"At least this time, the membership of the Council of Gods went to someone who was already on their side, so we hadn't created an additional enemy, but there are strong Great Gods that aren't on any of the sides. If we offend them and force them to side with the Council of Gods, it will put us in a more difficult situation. Although that wouldn't change the outcome of the war as long as we finish our plan, it will increase the difficulty. An unnecessary problem."
The others agreed with Lesta's words. They were confident in their plan, but it was better if they reduced the problems to the minimum instead of increasing them.
"I will send them a reminder, so they stay low-key with everyone for the time being, but as for how effective it would be, I bet everyone knows. Gleb, Lesta, speed the experiment as much as you can. We are starting to have results; it would be a pity if everything were to fail for just a bit more of time. Time, each time I think about the time, I remember Kroh's face. That damned bastard. I want him to suffer a fate worse than death. Do you think that manipulating the time makes you invincible or something? In the end, I will kill you!"
The others didn't speak when that man started to rant about Kroh. They all knew the identity of that cloaked man. He was one of the original Gods that created the Council of Gods and someone who blamed the whole calamity on Kroh. He was also the founder of the rebels.
"That bastard even turned an ally of someone called the Dimensional God. Is he looking down at me, the Space God? Everything he does is to humiliate me, that damn Kroh! Just wait! Your nightmare will begin soon!"
When the Space God went crazy, no one dared to speak with him. The last time someone did it, a True God died.
Although they might complain about the behavior of the other members, the most unpredictable and crazy one was the Space God, but he was also insanely powerful.
It wasn't a secret that most of the rebels among the original Gods had turned crazy after the calamity, and that was what made them so dangerous.
Others, like Gleb, who started as a mortal, had their own interests in collaborating. Although they really hated the Council of Gods and would be happy of it was destroyed, they didn't reach the point of going crazy to destroy them at any price like the original Gods.
Of course, among those who started as mortals, there were a lot of differences. Some of them really suffered injustices from part of the Council of Gods, while others just wanted to act in a way that the Council couldn't tolerate.
While the rebels had that meeting, Yale's group had already finished speaking, so that time, Yale was already about to teleport back to his house.
"I altered the time flow so you will have the maximum time to train Lily and Bashi, but I can't ensure how much it would be until the competition start. This time we had luck with Ange's case, but if someone related the Council of Gods gets attacked again, the odds of a member interfering will increase. After all, none of us will sit if a family member or a friend needs us."
They had already reached that conclusion on their conversation. Not everyone related to a member of the Council of Gods was as strong as Ange, nor all the rebels were as foolish as the Lecherous Emperor, so it wasn't difficult to imagine that if a similar situation happened a few more times, the situation would really reach a point of no return when on side couldn't restrain the anger anymore.
"Don't worry, we will spread some rumors about this matter, so the others start to make preparations."
Kabur knew very well how to do it, so it spread enough to have an effect but without alarming everyone too much.
As soon as Yale, Lina, Shiba, and Eini left, Kabur didn't want to lose time, but he first notified Nevah, who had been traveling outside.
Nevah wasn't happy when she heard the story about Ange because that overlapped with her plan to explain how she obtained a membership with Yale's help. After all, in that situation, having Yale's help wasn't a good idea. Back then, the situation hadn't been so extreme as it was at that moment, but Nevah was the only one at fault for not being able to advance sooner.
"If we reached this point, I just need to say that I did the same as Ange once I advance to Great Goddess."
She discarded the idea of asking for Yale's help and decided to imitate Ange's patters of obtaining it. If Ange had been able to do it, she didn't believe that someone would doubt that she could do the same.
At that moment, Ange had already left the universe where she killed the Lecherous Emperor, but instead of a new universe she hadn't visited, she found herself at her home in front of her parents.
It wasn't a problem for Yale to modify the destination of the passageway Ange created with the artifact, so he made her go back to home immediately and started to tell her everything about to war.
"Then, I will go to ask Asti if she wants to participate. She is still stuck at ninth level immortal due to being a Demigod, but I know that she can surpass it and became a Great god quickly."
Asti was the Demigod who ruled the universe where Tenir lived. She was killed by the people that would form the Sacred Empire, but Yale resurrected her as he promised to Tenir.
She got along with Ange, and before Yale noticed it, Ange had accepted her as a disciple.
As a Demigod, Asti had real problems to reach godship, but once she reached it, her power would increase quickly. However, her personality was similar o Ange's personality, so she didn't want for power to harm others, nor was she desperate to increase her power.
She had been living peacefully with Tenir in Alrein's universe since she was resurrected, so Ange didn't need to leave the universe to meet her.
As time passed, news of people being attacked by rebels spread, but there weren't casualties on the side of the Council of Gods, so they ignored them. Nevah's lie about a conflict got merged there, but the fact that she obtained a membership made her more known than others. There were a lot of people that were attacked in that period, but the only reports of someone getting a membership were Ange and Nevah.
Those who broke the rules of the rebels usually weren't that strong, so they never had a membership. It was also because they were the ones attacking that casualties were avoided.
However, the situation was already reaching a point that couldn't be ignored. At any moment, something more important would happen, so the Council of Gods finally notified all members about the competition.
