Chapter 496
Gerken was quite surprised by Ange's reaction, but he decided to agree .
"Alright . I will meet with them on their planet first . You can come with me to that place, but you must return here after that . "
The mission of those following Yale was a secret one that the rest didn't know, so they needed to have a reunion before meeting with the rest .
Moreover, almost everyone in that group was living on that planet, so it wasn't surprising that they chose that planet .
"That is enough . I also have sweet memories of that planet . "
Although Ange had recovered her memories from her previous lives, the memories from her childhood with Yale and Lina were still extremely important to her .
She had lacked a proper family in her two first lives . In the first, Yale's past life went to reincarnate when Ange was too young, and given the situation, it couldn't be said that it was the best kind of family for a kid .
On the second one, everything turned weird due to the reincarnations, and since she lacked a mother because she died when Yale was born and she spent a lot of time just helping Yale, she didn't have a happy childhood either .
However, in her third life, she managed to live the childhood he had missed in her previous life . Although her parents were strict with training, she finally experienced what was having a family despite being only until she turned ten, but that had been enough for her .
"By the way, master . Since when do you know my parents? For your words, you aren't going to meet them for the first time . "
Ange needed to wait more than a hundred years to meet them again, so she was curious about how much time her master had been secretly in contact with them .
She knew that it was normal that Yale and Lina hadn't appeared before her before she recovered her memories, but she was still curious about the relationship between her parents and her master .
"Since the day you met Lily . That day I discovered that your father's identity, and he sent an incarnation to speak with me . "
Gerken didn't feel that the fact he had met Yale before was something he couldn't tell Ange since she had recovered her memories .
"As for your mother, I never met her before . With your father, we mainly spoke about you and the war . He also taught me a powerful Path that allowed me to become comparable to an Origin God . "
The only thing that Gerken wouldn't say was that he needed Yale's help to master the Ice Essence because that would be too shameful to admit in front of Ange .
After speaking, Ange and Gerken left . Lily remained behind because Ange didn't want that she had any interaction with Yale as that would harm her .
They teleported directly from one planet to the other thanks to a portal created by Yale in his last visit, so they didn't need to spend time traveling .
Yale and Lina were quite surprised when Ange appeared with Gerken, but before they could say anything, Ange went to hug them .
"How do you dare to go to war without telling me about it? I won't be joining the war, don't worry . However, you should have thought about how I would feel if you left to war without saying farewell to me . If I hadn't discovered it and any of you died there, I would have never able to forgive myself for having lost the chance to bid you farewell . "
Ange had matured a lot and wouldn't just throw her life for the sake of others . She was still good-natured and loved peace, but she wouldn't act like a fool .
She could understand why her parents didn't want to tell her because based on how she used to be, it wouldn't have been strange if she became a human shield in a moment of danger to protect someone else .
However, meeting Lily helped her to change her point of view . If Yale hadn't disappeared in Ange's previous life and turned overly powerful the next time they met, she would have probably matured in the same way .
For Lily's sake, she couldn't die . Lily needed her, so she would be there .
Ange's love for Lily was pure sisterly love; it was different from the feeling that Lily developed towards Ange, but that didn't mean that Ange didn't care about her .
She didn't truly understand romantic love, nor felt any need to understand it .
After she recovered her memories, Ange had noticed about Lily's feelings, but despite knowing about them, nothing changed between them . Ange didn't mind if Lily saw her only as a sister or was in love with her .
Lily had never made the intent to speak about it, nor she planned to do because she knew that Ange wasn't interested in those things and Lily was happy being Ange's little sister, so she didn't plan to confess her love .
Yale and Lina were quite pleased and embarrassed after hearing Ange's words .
Pleased for her maturity and embarrassed for their lack of trust in her .
The reunion about the war was delayed because they prepared a banquet to celebrate that Ange had returned after so much time .
However, at the same time, a lot of people thought about that banquet as their last moment of relaxing before the war started .
Virtually everyone who was at least an Essence God would be joining the war and that included the people belonging to Lina's faction in that planet .
Everyone enjoyed that banquet which lasted until dawn of the following day . There wasn't any mortal on that planet, so spending a whole night awake wasn't a problem at all for them since they didn't really need to sleep .
After the banquet finished, Ange walked to the portal before turning back to see her family, master, and the rest of the people in that planet that she knew from the years she had lived there .
She was pleased for having been able to spend some time with them before a war from which a lot of them wouldn't probably return . In fact, she was quite sad from having been unable to bid farewell to her grandfather and the Battle God because they had already left the planet when she teleported there with Gerken .
"Goodbye . I wish you all the best luck on the war . We must eat again together after the war ended . "
She smiled and walked towards the portal .
Ange knew that it was virtually impossible that everyone returned alive . She had confidence in her parents and master because she knew about their prowess, but for a lot of the people of Lina's faction that were there in front of the portal, she wasn't that confident because their strength wasn't that outstanding . The number of deaths of people of that level would be probably impossible to count .
While entering into the portal, she remembered the banquet . Her parents had been quite calm, but the rest of the people had been celebrating as if that was their last chance .
Even Aiwai had forced Ange to change to her half-beast form and hugged her for several hours . Ange noticed that she was really nervous before the war .
After disappearing in the portal and appearing again in the Heaven Academy, a thought appeared in her mind .
"You must win this war, but if you fail, I will never rest until finishing your work . "
Ange was among the strongest people being left behind since very few people of higher levels chose to be left behind .
The strongest of all of them was the Mysterious Expert, who would be in charge of protecting the area surrounding the passage to prevent those people from the other universe infiltrate, but except for Yale and the Battle God, no one knew about that part of the plan, so some people chose to remain behind in case someone managed to infiltrate .
After Ange left, the faces of everyone turned serious .
"You all go to prepare for the war . "
Yale spoke, and everyone dispersed . Only those who would participate in the secret operation understood that Yale's meaning was that their reunion wouldn't be delayed anymore .
The reunion was quite long, but that was because there were too many possible scenarios . There wasn't anyone who complained about the plans .
After all, that was just the last review of everything before the war; the plans had already been created for a long time .
When the reunion finished, Yale opened a portal and everyone who was at least an Essence God crossed it .
That portal was the one leading to the place where Alter Yale sealed the passageway between the universes, the place where the counterattack would start .
Since others didn't know the exact time for the opening, an army made from almost all the powerful experts of the universe was already stationed there .
Yale knew that there was still some time, but he didn't want to reveal that he knew when the seal would break to prevent others from relaxing .
After all, Yale knew about it because those memories he obtained from an erased future, so he couldn't be completely sure that everything would be exactly the same that time .
Moreover, it was better if everyone had the attention at the maximum due to not knowing when it will open than having them relaxed for knowing it .
