Last Wish System

"Well, if you want to hear, I can tell you, but it is quite shameful. Anyway, who cares."

Firene saw that Yale was interested, so she delayed the explanation a bit on purpose.

"This girl reminds me of my previous self. At that time, I was also heartbroken and lost all the will to continue forward despite putting a strong front."

A melancholic expression appeared on Firene's face. That was an expression that usually she didn't show to others.

"Are you meaning the Gods Calamity?"

Knowing that Firene was from Kroh's era, it wasn't difficult for Yale to imagine what left her so heartbroken.

"So, you already know about that matter. I bet you heard it from Kroh. Indeed, it was the Gods Calamity. At that time, my two closest friends died in front of my eyes. I killed one myself. My story is quite similar to Kroh's, but I really loved the one I didn't kill, although she only liked the person I killed, and he liked me. The relationship among us three was always quite weird since we became interested in the romantic love of mortals."

Firene's tragedy was as bad as Kroh's. She never expected that the others could die so easily. After seeing the Water Goddess die in the hands of a shocked Earth God, she attacked the Earth God without thinking it two times, killing him on the process.

She was enraged at first when Kroh was unable to resurrect them., but she was enraged with herself and not with Kroh.

After it was determined that they couldn't resurrect, Firene was depressed for several million years, just wandering aimlessly through the multiverse. She was going to the meeting of the Council of Gods for pure boredom.

However, that changed when Yale showed the True Resurrection Divinity. Although Yale couldn't resurrect True Gods, knowing Yale's relationship with Kroh, she was sure that they were still looking for a method.

Thus, she was willing to help the Time Faction as much as she could. It didn't matter if they succeeded or not because they had become her last hope.

When Firene saw Aizu, she wasn't too interested in her, but she thought that as long as she was related to Yale, it would be enough.

However, once she observed Aizu a bit more, she noticed that she resembled her past self quite a bit. Although Yale was still alive, Aizu's chances to have a romantic relationship with him were crushed to the point that she lost all hope.

Aizu's roaming was quite similar to Firene's, and Aizu seemed to be the most proficient with fire, so Firene thought that maybe they were really fated to be master and disciple.

That was what led her to kidnap Aizu. Provoking the situation Yale saw when he teleported there.

"I see. I can understand your reasons. Aizu, I think that you should accept to become her disciple. Although I am better than her regarding teaching, your affinity with her is far higher, so you should be able to improve faster with her."

Firene never had a single disciple, so saying that Yale was better than she was just as an objective remark that Firene knew that was true. Moreover, she could also sense the aura of the Great Teaching Divinity from Yale's body.

That alone was proof enough that Yale was better than her, but just as Yale said, the affinity between master and disciple was also important.

Aizu was already freed at that moment, and with Yale there, no matter what she said, Firene wouldn't force her, but she was hesitating.

She understood that accepting would be wisest, but she would feel that it would be breaking the strand that linked her with Yale.

"Aizu, I am giving my consent, so you won't stop being my disciple even if you accept to be Firene's disciple."

Although usually, the rule was having only one master, as long as both masters agreed, there was no problem in sharing a disciple.

Yale had seen through Aizu's doubts. After all, they had known each other for a long time.

"If she swears that she wouldn't try to force me to do something I don't want, I will accept."

Aizu feared that she would be thrown again to the magma pool or to some other plate that would lead her to certain death. Firene didn't have bad intentions, but she didn't take into account that Aizu was far weaker than her, which made her dangerous.

"Alright, I swear to not force you to anything without your consent. Having disciples is really troublesome, but that just makes it more exciting."

Troubles were also something that helped Firene to distract from her sorrows.

In fact, having such a troublesome master as Firene would also be good for Aizu because she wouldn't have time to worry about her broken heart.

"Then, I accept."

After that moment, Aizu was officially the first disciple of Firene, one of the oldest members of the Council of Gods.

Although being a disciple of the Council of Gods was a proof of status. Being a disciple and being the first disciple as different. As for the first disciple, it didn't mean being the first in becoming a disciple but the most valued disciple by the master.

For those with only one disciple, that status was something inherent to them.

It was more difficult for the disciples of masters who had a lot of disciples like Yale, but in his case, that position went to Shiba without any doubt.

"I will take care of you from now on. Don't worry, someday you will ask me to enter my precious magma pool."

Aizu could only smile weirdly when she heard those words. She didn't understand why she would wish to enter a magma pool.

"Aizu, that magma pool is really good. As long as you train near it, your progress on the Fire Divinity should skyrocket. Taking baths in the magma pool is also beneficial for someone who has at least the Great Fire Divinity, so Firene isn't wrong with what she is saying. You just need to increase your power to enjoy it."

The purity of fire of that magma pool was incredible, but Yale also noticed that it wasn't that simple. The same could be told of the purity of the earth and the water that were also there.

At that moment, Yale felt that the magma pool wasn't a simple as it seemed at first thought. Probably that was something made by Firene, the Water Goddess, and the Earth God together.

Yale was amazed by how those elements were perfectly balanced without harming each other in the slightest.

That magma pool for Firene was like the soul fragment for Kroh, something that liked her to the deceased True Gods.

"Oh, you really have good taste. What about taking a bath? It should be a problem for you, right?"

Firene was happy to see someone who could appreciate the value of the pool.

"I have the Great Fire Divinity, the Great Earth Divinity, and the Great Water Divinity, so it isn't a problem at all, but you should have already sensed it from the start."

Firene was surprised that Yale also discovered the other two hidden elements there, but thinking it better, Yale had so many Great Divinities that it wasn't surprising that he was sensible to such pure elements.

Firene herself had obtained the True Earth Divinity and the True Water Divinity in honor of her deceased friends, thanks to that magma pool.

In fact, it was created for that reason the last time that Kroh went back in time. The other two wanted Firene to become stronger, so the magma pool was specifically made to help those with at least the Great Fire Divinity to improve in water and earth.

If Aizu entered that magma pool after obtaining the Great Fire Divinity, obtaining the other two would just be a matter of time. That was worthy of being called a god-tier training artifact.

"You are right. Sadly, you can't improve more on those divinities without advancing to True God first, but by the looks of your aura, it isn't that you can't advance but that you don't want. Seeing out future war, your decision isn't wrong."

Firene could tell that Yale was already at the pinnacle of Great God from his aura. However, knowing the problems of True Gods, it was better to avoid advancing at that moment unless one had a certainty that wouldn't be killed.

"Right, but I will jump in for a bit. There aren't too many chances of experiencing something like that. Maybe it can give me some ideas to create training artifacts."

As Yale spoke, he jumped to the magma pool without even taking off his clothes.

Those clothes wouldn't get burnt unless Yale allowed them to burn.

Yale could feel like if he was swimming in ordinary water despite being in a magma pool. That was the effect of the perfect combination of the three elements.

Yale already had some experience in combining different Divinities to make something new like with the Resurrection Divinity, but that kind of combination was different. It was more similar to the change between different water states than the combination of different elements.

While he was texting how profound the magma pool was, the True Dimensional Divinity activated automatically isolating Yale from the outside.

Two shadows appeared in front of Yale, they seemed somewhat similar to those of the Timeless Border.
