Last Wish System-Chapter 616: Meeting at the Council of Gods
People were entering the meeting room of the Council of Gods nonstop.
They had been told about the competition among disciples, so they rushed as fast as they could with their best disciple, but for most of them, that meant a weak disciple, and those with the worst luck didn't even manage to bring one. Those were extremely angry with how it had been announced.
Yale, Lina, Ange, and Alrein also appeared there with their disciples following them and went to where Kroh and Kanai were waiting for them.
"The others aren't here yet?"
Yale's group reached the meeting room when a lot of people were already there, so they expected to see someone else at Kroh's side.
"The ones that will be with us aren't here yet. Some of our allies are mixed with the others. Publicly, only those related to us will be on our side."
It was better if all their allies aren't known by everyone, but for those who had members of Yale's family and friends as disciples, there was no way to hide.
"Sorry for the delay. Our little girl spent too much time with her disciple."
Kabur was the next to appear there, followed by his wife, his daughter, and their disciples.
"Nevah, can you explain your choice of a disciple?"
Yale said those words because he knew very well Nevah's disciple, but Nevah didn't inform him about that matter.
"I just thought that she would be a good disciple. if you mean why I didn't say anything, it is because I thought it would be more interesting this way."
At that moment, Gloriana hit Nevah's head.
"You told us that you informed Yale about it. We can't spread misinformation between ourselves."
Gloriana was quite angry that her daughter lied about that topic because it was a sensible matter.
"I was the one who asked her to hide it. I wanted to give Yale a surprise. I am sorry."
The woman who spoke was someone that Yale knew very well. She was the granddaughter of Revgen, Nurvey.
It had been a long time since she stopped caring for the Revgen Empire and started to travel to improve herself. Revgen, who was already tired from traveling, took her placer because Nurvey never married nor had kids to succeed her.
Although Nurvey couldn't be considered someone overly social, she had improved a lot since her young days, so she could speak normally as long as she was giving a speech or having a conversation with people she knew. However, she didn't like to have a conversation with people she didn't know.
"Alright, forget it, but we are dealing with serious matters here, don't do it again. The lack of information can be deadly in the current situation."
Although Yale said those words, the Time Faction was hiding information from the others, but they were the ones with a plan while the rest barely knew the surface of it.
"We won't do it again. Alright, you should be Ange, right? I heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you, I am Nevah."
Nevah had always felt some competitive against Ange, although she had never met her due to how her parents spoke about her when Yale wasn't present. Moreover, the disciples of Nevah's parents were also praising her, so Ange became like a goal she needed to surpass.
"Nice to meet you. I feel ashamed, but I have only heard about you once, and that was when my father was telling me information about the participants in the competition."
Ange didn't have any malice while speaking, but Nevah took it as if Ange was looking down on her.
"Don't worry. Then, I will tell you that my disciple is this girl here, Nurvey. She is a Goddess."
She felt that it was quite an accomplishment helping Nurvey to become a Goddess from ninth level immortal.
"You really helped Nurvey a lot. This is my disciple, Asti, a Great Goddess."
Asti's aura was perfectly concealed to anyone who wasn't stronger than her, so Nevah didn't notice about her until that moment. Asti was stronger than Nevah, but given her personality, she didn't participate in battles unless it was absolutely necessary, and in those cases, she had learned from her master what to do. Thus, most people would underestimate her.
Nevah was weaker than Ange's disciple, so naturally, Nurvey was even weaker. It wasn't that Nevah wasn't good enough teaching others, Ange was just too good doing it, although the effects were maxed only when the disciple had a personality similar to her own. Of course, that talent was something she inherited from her father.
"Incredible, you are a Great Goddess yourself, and your disciple reached the same level."
Even Lily and Bashi were still Gods at that moment, so Asti was even better than the disciples of her parents.
The fact that Ange's parents having better disciples than her own wasn't something shameful but that Ange herself having a better disciple was a huge hit to her pride.
"Have you meet our butler? He is currently assigned to work for me."
Awat appeared and bowed slightly.
"I don't have a butler, but my father let her stay at my side for the time being. Tawa, you can show yourself."
Once Tawa appeared, Awat fell to his knees and started to tremble.
Yale gave Tawa permission to follow Ange, so as long as Tawa herself wanted, Ange could use her. Yale was worried that something bad could happen to Ange, so he arranged it in a way that Tawa could help her. After all, Tawa could change her form freely, so she could also become any weapon Ange needed.
However, Tawa wouldn't be able to use the hundred percent of her strength if Yale wasn't the one using her, but since Ange was Yale's daughter, she could use about ninety percent, which wasn't bad at all.
Of course, the fact that Awat wasn't even able to stand still in front of Tawa was another huge shock to Nevah.
Before Nevah could say something else, she saw Nurvey going to Ange's side, starting to touch Ange's ears. Ange remembered that Nurvey loved to touch wolf ears, so she changed to half-beast form to let her touch them while they were waiting for the others.
"Even my disciple prefers her..."
She had seen Nurvey touch Lily's wolf ears before, but she never thought that Ange could do the same, although she knew that it was logical that she could.
"Nevah, you can also touch them if you want. I hope we can be good friends."
At that moment, Nevah felt completely defeated. She had been trying to show off, yet she was defeated without any ill intention from the other party. She noticed how foolish she had been trying to compete with Ange. From the moment she focused on competing, she had already lost.
"Just a bit, I fear that our parents will get angry if we fool around for longer."
Nevah couldn't say that she didn't like touching those wolf ears. After all, it was because she had some common interests with Nurvey that she decided to take her as a disciple. She even had Awat create some fake wolf ears, but they weren't the same as real ones. Lily was so tired of the Nurvey and Nevah combo that she decided to hide her wolf ears, although she preferred her half-beast form.
That day, Nevah stopped considering Ange as someone to surpass and started to understand Lily and Bashi, a big sister like that was worthy of praise. However, she just understood that fact, she didn't have any kind of romantic feelings towards Ange like those two.
Ange was like a kind and reliable big sister, which was something Nevah never had in any of her lives.
"It seems that our daughters get along very well. Although it feels as if Nevah had been defeated by your daughter."
Gloriana laughed after speaking. She knew very well that Nevah always felt somewhat competitive towards Ange, so she was worried that they couldn't collaborate properly on the war, but all her worries disappeared when she saw Nevah enjoying the touch of Ange's wolf ears.
"She never stood a chance. Ange's personality attracts others easily. If you weren't blocking Lily's moves, she would have already rushed there. Bashi is showing a bit more of control, although it doesn't change that Kabur would act immediately if he moves."
Ange and Nevah were both members of the Council of Gods, so no matter what they did, it was their own matter. However, Kabur and Gloriana didn't want their disciples to make a show because it was related to their own reputation.
Kabur and Gloriana knew that Yale told the truth. Ange had the charm to get along with others while Nevah didn't have that kind of personality. The fact that their disciples, their daughter, and their daughter's disciples were all wanting to be close to Ange was proof enough of it.
Others were seeing the scene with strange faces, but with Yale, Kroh, and Alrein there, they didn't say anything. The meeting had yet to start, and there weren't any rules forbidding to act like that, although once a meeting started, doing something that would distract others was forbidden.
"This seems fun. Let me join!"
Barha was the one who spoke before jumping towards Ange. She didn't think about it, it just seemed fun, so she joined.
On the other hand, Wyba jumped toward Yale, who already noticed Wyba's breakthrough.
