Yale knew that although the seven-colored light could make the process of creating an Essence easier, it didn't change the fact that faith was a need.

Shiba had a piece of the legacy of the universe creator and was also quite famous, so he met the basic conditions.

Yale didn't know who the last person was, but he didn't doubt that besides the fact that the other person hid, he should have some reputation to be able to obtain faith from others.

Moreover, that person should be like the Battle God or like Yale. In other words, it should be someone who ascended from other universe or with a piece of the universe creator's legacy.

There were only five pieces of the universe creator legacy, and Yale knew three of the inheritors, which with himself included made four.

As for the fifth, no one knew about him. Even when the pieces of legacy resonated in the past, the fifth person remained hidden, and no one managed to notice who was.

Yale was sure that the one who created the Essence was the one with the fifth part of the legacy and not someone like the Battle God.

After being enlightened about Essences, Yale knew very well that there was no need to infuse a new Essence on the universe to use it, and there was no way that people from the Battle God's generation didn't know about it.

Moreover, Yale doubted that people like them would need the help of the seven-colored light, and even if they needed it, they would have done it back then when the Battle God created his Essences, not ages later.

Of course, that was just Yale's guess. The only way to prove the identity of that person was finding him.

However, although Yale was curious about that person's identity, he didn't waste more time thinking about it and went to continue his hunt of traitors.

Although Yale wasn't sure of how he was detecting the traitors, he had the feeling that the universe itself was telling their identities to him.

Yale wasn't someone who would harm innocent people without blinking for a greater purpose like Alter Yale, but there wasn't any mercy for traitors.

At that moment, Yale was, without any doubt, the sixth strongest expert of the universe, so all the traitors in front of him were doomed to die as soon as Yale discovered them.

Moreover, Yale could share his sense with any Ice Tribulation that appeared on the universe, so he was well aware of how the things were progressing on the war.

Lina's group had left the Battle God's dimension appearing in the midst of the battlefield, but they were far different from how they had been before entering.

A single Ice Tribulation had turned into a nightmare for the army, and with Lina's group, there were another two although smaller.

Moreover, Shiba and Lina had a great increase in strength, so although they couldn't kill the opponents in one hit, they wouldn't be killed in one hit either.

Terug saved a lot of energy from the power-up thanks to the Ice Tribulation, so he stood on guard to protect Aiwai and Eini in case some enemy managed to reach that place.

After Eini changed her Path she was easily comparable to a World God, and quite a powerful one, but since she had yet to learn an Advanced Essence, she hadn't able to make a breakthrough.

Aiwai was weaker than her since her case was the opposite. She had mastered the Ice Essence, but if she wanted to advance to the next level, she needed to learn several other Essences.

Ange didn't leave Lina's inner world because she was without any doubts the weakest and an easy target to be turned as a hostage.

Of course, with the two Ice Tribulations protecting them, there weren't too many enemies who tried to attack them.

Although they looked weaker than Alter Yale and the Battle God, they understood quickly that they were just a bait, and after they tried to do something to them, they would be devoured by those wolves.

No one of Lina's group participated actively in the war. They just focused on defending themselves.

After all, without the Ice Tribulations protecting them, their chances to die were quite high, and killing the opponents wouldn't be easy either.

Shiba, who was the strongest at that moment, was comparable with the fifty strongest Origin Gods, but that just an average level of strength in the enemy army that had already deployed true experts.

However, there was no need for them to participate in the war because Alter Yale, the Battle God, and the Ice Tribulation were already enough to put the enemies in a hard position.

The Ice Tribulation had been the key that changes the course of that war, and there were more members of the true army who died facing the Ice Tribulation than Alter Yale and the Battle God together.

At that moment, most of the army were working together to dissipate the Ice Tribulation but helping others in a tribulation was a taboo that would only make the tribulation to turn stronger, and that was just what was happening at that moment.

When Alter Yale activated the Ice Tribulation, he did it as if he was to test one of the members of the army, but they were so packed that others were affected, and the Ice Tribulation was restored each time someone else was included in facing that tribulation.

In fact, the original random member of the army chosen by Alter Yale had already died, but unless all the affected members died or the Ice Tribulation was dissipated by them, the tribulation wouldn't end.

The lives of the dead members of the army were also turning into energy for the Ice Tribulation and the universe, which wouldn't happen if they were killed normally.

Usually, that energy would return to their universe or in the worst situation, would dissipate with only a little part being absorbed by the universe they died, but at that moment, all their energy was being absorbed, which was the same as gifting energy to their enemies.

They wanted to devour the energy of that universe to make their own universe improve, but in that battle, they were the only letting their own energy being devoured.

It was just as Yale guessed previously. It was possible to upgrade the limits of a universe, but it was difficult to succeed. In the past, the universe creator did it successfully, which increased the limit from third level immortal to sixth level immortal.

The difficulty of increasing the limits was enough to bring despair to any universe creator because the higher the limit, the more difficult it turned.

However, there was a shortcut that allowed that difficult to diminish, and that was devouring another universe of the same level, but that practice was forbidden by the higher universes, so virtually no one relied on that method.

The main problem was that the rules only applied to universes linked to those higher universes, so the universe in which Yale lived wasn't protected by such rules.

That was the reason for the other universe going all out in that war. It didn't matter if everyone in Yale's universe died or if they were enslaved, the result would be that their universe creator of the other universe would obtain the energy of that universe for himself.

To accomplish that, they paid a huge price to erase the universe creator's existence as that wouldn't affect the energy of the universe like if he were killed. That state would be the best to absorb the energy of the universe.

However, Yale's great grandfather saved the universe creator being himself who disappeared, which frustrated their plans.

"Retreat!"

One of the strongest alive members of the army sent that order to all the other members. That battle had turned opposite to their objectives, and their deaths were being meaningless.

That man knew that they lost that battle, so it was foolish to continue struggling. That was utter defeat.

However, they only lost that battle, not the whole war, so it was better to save as much strength as possible for later.

The whole army obeyed and started to retreat when another message appeared in their minds.

"Oh, no. You aren't leaving this place."

The one who sent that message was Alter Yale who shockingly was already on the other side of the passage connecting with the other universe.

"Farewell. Seal!"

Only two additional words appeared in the minds of the members of the army, but they were enough to bring them with despair because the passageway was sealed, leaving Alter Yale on the other side.

That was a catastrophe for them. Alter Yale would be able to kill their people on the other side, while they were being pushed into a corner without chances to retreat.

The army only heard those two words, but the rest had heard another message from Alter Yale before he left. They already received an explanation about who Alter Yale was since the moment they appeared outside the Battle God's dimension.

"You all, listen to me. I will seal this passageway, and not even a sixth level immortal will be able to open it. However, in exchange, this seal has a time limit. Settle all your matters, and the day the seal broke, come here with all the people you can gather. That day our universe will start the counterattack!"
