The girls looked towards the entrance of the cave where the three of them recognized Yale.
"Why are you here?"
The Essence God asked in shock as she never expected that Yale would find them so quickly.
She felt that maybe Yale could get a clue after Aiwai advanced, so she planned to change their location since the mountain range was big and without knowing the exact position, she didn’t believe that Yale could discover them.
However, it had been just a few monts after Aiwai advanced, and the Essence God couldn’t believe that Yale managed to find them and managed to surpass the protecting barrier in such a short ti.
The barrier was just for hiding, and it was easier to cross it than cross a protecting barrier, but it was still a barrier created by an Essence God, so it should have required so effort.
Yale had also thought that there were a lot of chances that they changed positions quickly, and without knowing the exact position, he wasn’t confident in finding them either.
Thus, he activated the Celestial Knowledge and together with his full mastery of the Ti Essence, he froze the ti of the whole mountain range after teleporting near the area.
It had been just a few monts for the three girls, but the truth was that the flow of ti for them was modified by Yale, and the barrier was useless in frozen ti.
If Yale weren’t a Tiless Sovereign or didn’t have the Celestial Knowledge, it would be impossible to freeze an Essence God completely with his current power. At most, even if the body couldn’t move, it wouldn’t stop the Essence God’s mind, and that was only because Yale had authority in the world, and it wouldn’t resist too much to Yale’s intentions.
Yale couldn’t use the authority perfectly in his weakened state, but that was a passive effect.
Moreover, Yale had never been so tired in his whole life despite not showing in on the outside. The Ti Freeze hadn’t lasted for too long, just enough to cross the barrier and find them, but for Yale, it was still a feat.
The Essence God also knew about the difficult to freeze her completely in the ti, so she didn’t think that the Ti had been stopped, but that Yale had so special way to teleport beside Wyba and Aiwai disregarding distance and barriers as long he knew their position.
In fact, if she had been in guard, probably Yale would have failed to freeze her in ti even if it was for a short while, and it would have been impossible for Yale to near them more before the Ti Freeze ended forcefully, so it wasn’t sothing that he could use in a real battle.
Moreover, if Yale had shown any evil intention, he was sure that the other party would have noticed it and the Ti Freeze wouldn’t have worked well.
It had been just an instant since the three girls saw Yale, but Aiwai and Wyba were already hugging him. They had missed Yale a lot in those ten years.
While returning the hug to his sisters, Yale replied to the woman who was looking at him with a shocked face.
"I missed my sisters a lot, so I ca to see them."
Seeing the scene in front of her eyes and hearing Yale’s words, the woman could only sigh as she didn’t know how to reject Yale’s presence. Moreover, Yale had heard her reasons for not letting Wyba and Aiwai eting him before, so she felt ashad even if she didn’t show it on her face.
"At the start, I was worried that you would try to force to marry as compensation for saving my sisters. I have t a lot of won who would try everything to marry , but hearing your words, I am at ease. Thank you for saving my sisters, Lina."
Yale had been popular in both lives, and in his past life, the number of won who tried everything to marry him wasn’t low at all.
Lina didn’t know if Yale was just mocking by saying almost the sa that she had said before or if he was serious, but she never expected that Yale knew her na.
"Although you weren’t conscious, you also saved before, so you don’t owe anything. More importantly, why do you know my na?"
She had never told her na to Yale, and although Wyba and Aiwai knew it, they rarely called her by the na, and that hadn’t happened even once after Aiwai’s breakthrough, so Lina discarded the possibility of Yale hearing it.
"You were the one who told that na to . Well, strictly speaking, the one who told it to was your shadow in the Tiless Border."
Lina was one of the shadows that he t at the end of his trial in the Tiless Border, and they had spoken there, so Yale knew about her. However, Lina didn’t have the mories of that shadow, so for her, that was her first ti speaking with Yale.
"What is the Tiless Border?"
Wyba interrupted the conversation after hearing sothing that she didn’t understand, and although Aiwai didn’t ask, she was also curious about it.
"I can’t explain it to you unless you get there soday. Since you are linked to , my shadow would welco you in any case, and will explain everything to you."
Yale felt that Aiwai and Wyba shouldn’t learn about it at that mont.
"Did my shadow say sothing strange?"
Lina was still showing an impassive face, but she had only gone once to the Tiless Border, and that was a long ti ago, and she had changed a lot, so she feared that her younger self had spoken so nonsense.
"Nothing special, but I can say that your personality had changed a lot. After all, your shadow’s personality..."
Before Yale could continue, Lina stopped him.
"Stop! Don’t speak about my past self. I beg you!"
Yale didn’t feel that Lina’s previous personality was sothing to be ashad, but since she asked for it, he stopped.
"Alright. Do you still plan to flee? We already confird that neither of us has intentions to use the situation to marry the other, so there is no reason for fleeing. My sisters would be sad if you leave now."
Yale knew that Wyba and Aiwai had grown quite close to Lina in those ten years, and he also understood that she was more suitable to help them in training than him.
"I won’t flee, but you must leave this place. You wanted to see them, and you already saw them."
Lina felt that as long as Yale left, she would be able to avoid being discovered again.
"I don’t want to do that. I am sure that you wouldn’t let et them again for a lot of years if I leave right now."
Lina frowned after her intentions were seen through. Besides her family mbers, which included her brother-in-law, she didn’t like to be close to n. Although she believed that Yale wasn’t interested in her, she still felt more at ease without him.
"I am older and stronger than you. You should hear my words. I will treat your sisters well."
Lina knew that Yale had his mories sealed, so she felt that the difference in age between them was huge enough to use that authority. Moreover, even counting Yale’s past life, she was still far older than him, especially since he had been dead for more than thirty thousand years.
"I don’t feel that you are older than at all. Moreover, I am sure that I won’t lose against you in a battle even if I can’t win."
Yale was unable to know how much ti he passed in the Tiless Border, but he also obtained the mories of his young self that had been there for an eternity. Yale had also recovered almost all his mories including those of the Life and Death Trials, so he didn’t feel that his life had been shorter than Lina’s.
Moreover, Yale was confident in his battle prowess. Although he didn’t dare to say that he could win against an Essence God, with the regeneration obtained from being a Tiless Sovereign, he was sure that he wouldn’t lose either.
"Are you Yale or master?"
Aiwai instantly spoke when hearing that as she started to doubt which of Yale’s consciousness was in control at that mont.
"I am Yale, but I recovered my mories."
Aiwai sighed in relief as she feared that Yale would have disappeared. Aiwai valued her master, but she valued Yale far more.
"Even with your mories, I don’t feel that you are my peer."
Lina felt that she had lost her cool too much since Yale appeared, so she was trying to regain the superior position.
"Then, let’s make a bet. We will have battle relying only upon battle ability using just ice-made weapons. The winner can make the loser fulfill one order. What do you think?"
Lina frowned because if she rejected the offer that would be seen as she feared to face Yale, so she wouldn’t be able to say that she was stronger.
"Alright but say what you will ask first. I will ask for you to leave and don’t return until your sisters beca Law Gods."
Yale smiled when hearing that before replying.
"If I win, I just want you to help to find my friends dispersed in this continent."
