The news that Yale was about to leave the world spread quickly, and everyone organized a farewell party for him.
Most of them hadn't even spoken with Yale before, but they knew that they should be on the good side of someone like him.
While the whole city was in a large party, there was another private party in Yale's house.
The ones attending were Terug and his subordinates, including the guy who advanced to World God thanks to Yale.
Strictly speaking, after his breakthrough he didn't need to continue working for Terug, but since Terug was associated with Yale, he decided to remain with Terug.
However, his status changed despite continuing under Terug's orders. At that moment, he was Terug's right hand, and the authority he wielded was incomparable to before.
Moreover, no one looked down on him for being the weakest type of World God.
"Today's party isn't a mere formality. I want to invite all of you here to come with us if you want, but I need to say that our journey will be dangerous, and I can't ensure that you all will return alive. If you want to come, you will stay in Terug's inner world unless we ask you to leave. Terug will be leaving with me tomorrow."
Terug had already told Yale that he wanted to follow him, and Yale was happy to hear it.
After all, Terug had a vast information network, and although he was weaker than Yale, no one else in his group could beat him without using their trump cards.
Terug's followers were useful, so Yale didn't mind bringing them, but they needed to be like Aiwai, Wyba, and Ange and don't leave the place designated for them.
The guy who became a World God with Yale's help was qualified to be outside, but he would be the one traveling from inside the inner world to outside when things like food needed to be delivered.
Moreover, in case of emergency, he was told to hide all the others in his inner world and flee with them.
Yale and Terug planned things for a lot of situation that could happen to them in the trip before inviting the rest to join because neither of them wished to lead them to death.
Yale was the strongest of the group, while Terug was the one with the highest level, so no one would oppose to them being in the most dangerous position.
Lina and Eini had a vast number of life-saving trump cards, so they didn't have fewer chances to survive than Yale and Terug.
Yale wasn't too sure about Shiba, but since Shiba was someone who managed to surpass the geniuses of several powerful factions despite having been born as a slave, Yale decided to trust him.
Moreover, since he was Eini's boyfriend, Yale guessed that he should have received some means to save his life.
Yale felt that probably he was the one with less life-saving trump cards, but just being a Timeless Sovereign was enough to make him the most difficult to kill, so it wasn't like if he really needed life-saving trump cards more than the rest.
There wasn't anyone among those working for Terug that decided to stay behind.
Following Terug was still beneficial for them, and they also felt that being invited to travel with Yale was their blessing.
The fact that Yale was the Battle God's grandson was already spread through the whole world and given how Yale could skip levels so easily which was something that before only the Battle God did, no one doubted of his words.
The Wymst faction belonging to the Battle God was a mysterious faction that a lot of people wanted to approach without being successful.
However, by following Yale, their chances of being hired as servants there were quite high. In fact, just working for Yale who was the inheritor was as if they were half-servants of the faction.
Having a strong background was the wish of all of those serving the World Gods, or they wouldn't be working for others, and it was obvious that the Wymst faction was far better than going serving ordinary World Gods. Even just serving the grandson with Terug as an intermediary was still very good for them.
The people in the world looked to the sky where Yale's group was. Regret filled their faces as they weren't invited to follow him, but they still had made a statue of Yale and announced that Yale was the official protector of the world.
They hoped that by doing that, they would cross again with Yale or at least receive positive influence from him.
Yale had noticed about those things, but he didn't mind at all because that only increased the faith transmitted to him, and he valued it.
"My grandfather has been moving recently, and given the route that he seems to be treading, I think that we can shorten the time by going to the point where he seems to go next."
The Battle God was nearing them with his current route, but that was only relatively speaking because his direction wasn't leading him towards their solar system, but at least the place he was going was nearer than the one he was before.
Yale saw that the Battle God was almost always moving without resting for a long time in each world, so he felt that they must use the chance to find him before he went away again.
After all, the World God was far faster than Yale's group, so if both went in the same direction without stopping it would be impossible for Yale's group to find him. Fortunately, that wasn't the case.
There wasn't anyone in Yale's group who could make a breakthrough soon, so they decided to travel without stopping unless something important happened.
Yale was waiting to discover how to create an Essence using the faith, while Shiba, Eini, and Lina had the same problem and couldn't advance without having that missing Essence.
Terug had advanced too quickly to Tier 7, so he wasn't in a rush to increase his strength more with Spirit Stones because that would need a lot of time and Spirit Stones, and he didn't feel that the situation was right to lose time or waste Spirit Stones on him.
After all, he knew that Yale's group didn't have an unlimited supply of them.
Origin Gods could create Spirit Stones with a bit of effort, so their factions didn't need to worry about money as long as the Origin God wasn't too lazy, and they didn't have any business.
However, although Terug knew that with the background of Yale's group, they could obtain Spirit Stones easily, they weren't able to create them directly, so he didn't want to ask for them.
Moreover, Terug felt that a single streak of pure energy from Yale was far more useful than those Spirit Stones, but he knew that Yale couldn't control it consciously or he would have used it to strengthen everyone.
Terug was the only one of them who was aware of the plans of Alter Yale and the Mysterious Expert, and he felt that it was better if they found the Battle God quickly, or if something happened to them, with their strength it would be difficult to survive.
Being a Tier 7 World God or a Tier 1 World God wouldn't make any difference in the case that some of Terug's worries happened. Only someone like the Battle God, Alter Yale, or the Mysterious Expert could solve those situations.
Most people of the universe weren't conscious about it, but the current state of the universe was extremely chaotic at that moment.
The traitors had started to move, and those cursed started to lead the universe towards its destruction bit a bit with small actions that seemed completely ordinary. A hidden manipulation of fate that was extremely difficult to stop without knowing about it beforehand like Alter Yale.
All of that had been delayed by alter Yale and the Mysterious Expert, and the effects had been reduced a lot, but although it wasn't a certainty that the plans of their enemies would succeed after those alterations, the chances weren't zero either.
The other universe was working in the shadows and in the open to finish their plans, but the Mysterious Expert and Alter Yale also acted in the same way to stop them, and the other party didn't seem to notice about it.
Thus, it was difficult for Terug to know what would happen in the end given his understanding of the situation, which was far greater than any other World God.
There was only one thing that Terug was sure that would happen, a war.
An open war between the two universes where experts of both sides would need to risk their lives seemed unavoidable from the information he obtained.
In that war, Essence Gods would be no more than pawns, and even World Gods wouldn't be in a better situation. Moreover, it could potentially affect the whole universe, which would create a lot of deaths.
He knew that Alter Yale and the Mysterious Expert had been working to avoid that and instead wanted to concentrate the war in only one area, but although Terug wasn't sure of the details, he considered that it was difficult to accomplish.
After all, with just a small group of enemies escaping from the war and going to other places, it would be enough for the chaos to spread in the whole universe.
