Chapter 624
They didn't know if the other invader was a friend or a foe, but given the restrictions of that universe, it was more likely someone there due to internal strife among the rebels than an unknown ally .
However, wherever that other invader was, it was bound to have valuable information .
Thus, the whole group managed to track him down, and Shiba discovered the hidden chamber . It was so well hidden that without prior knowledge of it or at least the Minor Dimensional Divinity, it wouldn't be discovered easily .
The Brainwashing God had been in the hidden dimension before, and he had invited to that room once by Pavel, so he knew the place from the beginning . However, at that time, there was a lot of information registered about experiments of Lesta and Pavel .
"Why have the documents disappeared? Have they moved them recently? Do I have such bad luck?"
Those words were clearly heard by Shiba's group . They had just opened the door of the hidden chamber .
"Who?"
The Brainwashing God turned around as soon as he felt that he wasn't alone . He feared that Lesta or Pavel had returned, but he didn't recognize anyone among the group that interrupted him, so he sighed in relief .
"Let's speak, maybe we don't need to be enemies . "
Representing the group, Shiba spoke . He didn't know the identity of the Brainwashing God, but he could sense that he was a Great God, and it was better to have an ally than a foe if possible, given that they were in enemy territory .
"Speak! Who are your parents?"
The Brainwashing God knew that he had brainwashed all the guards, so there was no doubt that the group in front of him also invaded the place without permission, but unless they came from a distinguished lineage that he approved, he wouldn't consider working with them .
It was already a lot that he was collaborating with the rebels despite having people he considered that should be slaves, but he didn0t plan to tolerate anyone else .
"That doesn't matter . "
Shiba had never met his parents nor had any bond with them since he was born as a slave, and where he was born, the slaves had children to increase resources due to the orders of the owners, so there wasn't any parent-child relationship .
"Doesn't matter? As expected, everything of you smells to lowly slave . Kneel and obey! Slave! I am your owner from now on!"
The Brainwashing God didn't know that Shiba was born as a slave, but for him, those who ignored their lineage or don't have one were all slaves .
His origins were a delicate topic for Shiba, especially when spoken with such disdain by someone unrelated to him . Fortunately, he was able to control himself, or he would have crushed the whole hidden room into nothingness, information included .
"You all! Kneel . You are all my slaves from now on . Traveling with a slave and letting him represent your group makes you all as lowly as him . Those who don't kneel and swear loyalty to me shall be killed by the others . Quickly, kneel and kill the traitors that don't understand their place . You live to obey my orders!"
Although that was nonsense, the Brainwashing God really believed it, and there were members on the group under Great God, so he felt that they would backstab the Great Gods if they didn't kneel and swore eternal loyalty to him .
The Brainwashing God felt that he had already won when he felt a chill and died turned into an ice statue .

There was someone who didn't endure anymore and attacked without a second thought, but that person wasn't Shiba nor Yale's incarnation, who was the one who prevented that the brainwashing worked by using the True Dimension Divinity stealthy .
"No one says that my Shiba is a slave and lives to say it again . "
Eini lost the patience at the instant the Brainwashing God mentioned the word slave directed to Shiba . She had been preparing the attack from that moment, but the Brainwashing God was so overconfident that he didn't notice until it was too late .
It was almost instinctive for her . Given how long she had been with Shiba, she was used to others using his humble origins to insult him, and she couldn't tolerate it even if Shiba managed to endure it . With the pass of time, it became an instinct .
That was the first time he used ice when enraged due to someone insulting Shiba since she always had been more adept at using fire, but since she had been training with her sister, she was a real expert using ice, even more than using fire, and in a place full of valuable information, using fire didn't seem a good option .
She was sure that Lina was praising her for using that method to deal with an enemy . After all, that was Lina's signature punishment attack .
"Thank you . "
Shiba hugged Eini from her back while speaking .
Shiba could have killed that man personally, so Eini's help wasn't needed at all, but he knew that Eini got angry for his sake, so he still thanked her .
"I am sorry for being a busybody, you could have dealt with him easily, but I couldn't tolerate his words . I need more self-control . "
Although she knew that Shiba wouldn't be angry for her actions, once she thought about it, she felt that she had stolen Shiba's spotlight with her actions .

"You don't need to change, I love you like you are . "
Hearing those words, Eini didn't reply, but she remained being hugged by Shiba with a smile on her face .
At the same time, Bashi wanted to find a hole and jump inside . He felt too ashamed to see his parents acting like that in public .
"You are too shy about these things . You need to mature a bit, you aren't a kid . "
Lily found fun how Bashi reacted to the relationship of his parents, so she felt the urge to tease him a bit .
"Shut up . How can they be having so much contact with each other in public . "
Bashi could tell that Lily was only teasing him, but he was really bad at dealing with those situations .
"Not much more than immobilizing an enemy using only physical power . When training and battling against each other, we had more contact than this, and you weren't shy at all, although I am a girl . You only feel wrong when you see others, or this is because they aren't sparring against each other?"
Lily grabbed Bashi by his back and locked him, preventing that he could move . It was a basic physical defense skill that they learned in the case they were forced to a fully physical battle .
They had practiced it against each other thousands of times when preparing for the war since their masters didn't discard any possible situation, including that somehow they could be forced to battle in direct contact with the opponent .
It looked similar to a hug, but there wasn't anything gentle there, so they were completely different .

Of course, that was just to immobilize without hurting, so Bashi just felt unable to move, but he wasn't harmed at all .
"Stop! Everyone is looking at us! I beg you!"
Bashi didn't want to stand out so much, but with Lily's actions, it was unavoidable .
Moreover, he was feeling weird because of the scene about his parents and Lily reminding him that she was a girl, so that was the first time he was conscious of something soft touching his back, so he was completely embarrassed .
Although Lily couldn't be told that she was well-developed, she wasn't flat, so it was normal that Bashi sensed something when she was immobilizing him in that way . What was strange was that he never noticed before . He always considered her a rival, so he never thought about the fact that she was a girl . He felt ashamed when thinking about how a lot of their battles and training could be seen from a neutral point of view .
Lily had a complex about her poorly developed chest in the past, but when she became able to alter her body at will, she felt that she wasn't comfortable with a body similar to her sister like she always wanted, so she decided to just be with a form she could be comfortable rather than the ideal she had .
She wasn't used to wearing too girly clothes unless Ange asked her to do it since she decided to be pragmatic, so she usually didn't look too girly, especially when Bashi had Ange and Wyba to compare her .
However, only someone like Bashi would have needed so much time to be conscious of her .
Needless to say, Lily considered that Bashi was like a kid, so she never cared about having physical contact with him . If she had acted shy or remarked that fact before, Bashi would have noticed it, but she didn't do it until that moment, when she commented it just for fun, ignoring the effect it had on Bashi .
After Bashi's complaint, she let him go and didn't speak more since she had enough fun, but Bashi was really conflicted at that moment .
At the same moment, in the core of the hidden dimension, where not even Pavel could access without permission .
"Intruder B killed Intruder A, just as planned . That fool was lured here too easily . He didn't even consider that I wanted to kill him, and I had prepared this trap for him . "
Lesta smiled .
