novelThe Curse of the Universe
| ← Ch.514 | Ch.516 → |
The Supreme God could just see as Yale's main body and the incarnation fused because the incarnation was the only one able to move at that moment.
However, he didn't fear it because a full-power Yale couldn't defeat him before, so although he would need to waste some more time, he didn't doubt that Yale would be cornered again.
The Supreme God wouldn't be so calm if he could see the smile on Alter Yale's face when Yale absorbed the incarnation.
"As I expected, but the next step is critical. Don't disappoint me because failure isn't allowed. It may be cruel since you don't know anything about this plan, but you can't know, or it would be all meaningless."
Alter Yale had faith in Yale and the plan, and he believed that everything would work well, but it was impossible that he could be sure of how everything would go.
"The curse on our universe is far too strong. I only noticed about it after coming back to this era, but not even at my peak, I would have been able to break it, nor I would dare. I can think of only one individual capable of something like this curse, and I wouldn't dare to defy that person even if I wanted to die. Thus, to escape of the loop that the curse created, we need to finish this war, but we need to do it fulfilling certain conditions or someday another time travel would happen, returning to this era..."
Alter Yale was speaking without anyone to listen to him because although he didn't show it, he was somewhat nervous. After all, of all the plan, that part was the most uncertain.
In fact, Alter Yale had a method to kill the Supreme God at that moment and finish the war, but he knew that the result of it would be that the curse would end making Yale return to the past someday to change the outcome.
Although Alter Yale didn't know the exact motives that led that fearsome individual to use God's Punishment, the highest curse level, to a small universe, he knew that no one was able to understand how that individual thought. Thus, Alter Yale couldn't even try to find a reason for needing such a specific outcome to leave the war in the past forever.
Alter Yale had met that individual before, and he had to admit that he was unable to see through the individual's power although they supposedly were at the same level. In fact, Alter Yale never believed that such a fearsome individual was at the same level as him.
That individual belonged to an organization that as far as Alter Yale knew was the oldest and most powerful organization of the multiverse, the Council of Gods.
Although they were just an organization in name since each individual acted as pleased, they were the ones deciding the rules for the universes, so there were a lot of Gods that wanted to join even if it was just as a servant.
As for joining as a member, there were only two ways. The standard one was having at least two-thirds of the Council of Gods accepting someone as a new member, which was quite difficult.
However, the second method was even more difficult. Killing a member of the Council of Gods and take that person place.
Alter Yale became a member by coincidence because a member of the Council of God's tried to kill him but was killed by Alter Yale instead.
He was quite hated in the Council of Gods, but the place where the Council of Gods reunited was a place where violence wasn't allowed even if it was mortal hatred.
After all, there were a lot of grudges between members, and it was impossible to speak if a war happened each time.
A member of the Council of God's couldn't receive God's Punishment even after breaking a rule, but that member could be judged if a third of the members requested it. However, not even Alter Yale was judged like that because supporting that request was the same as becoming an eternal enemy of the judged one.
Besides members, there was another type of person that couldn't be affected by God's Punishment, and that was a person that has already been punished and that punishment hadn't finished.
For the same crime, only one member of the Council of Gods could use God's Punishment, so the fastest one decided, but if it was a long-term punishment and another infraction was committed before it finished, only the one who punished it originally could punish it again.
Alter Yale avoided the God's Punishment for his actions before becoming a member of the Council of Gods because the God's Punishment of his universe was still active on him, but at that time he didn't know about it.
That powerful individual didn't even direct a word to him, and he wasn't punished no matter how many times he broke the rules.
Although no one supported Alter Yale in the Council of Gods, there were still neutral members that wouldn't display hostility towards others unless something affected them directly, and that individual was among the neutral ones.
In fact, if that individual had wanted, Alter Yale would have died the first time he broke a rule.
However, that individual never showed any intention to interact with Alter Yale no matter what happened, so Alter Yale never discovered the truth in that era.
He only understood it after finishing his time travel and discovering more about the curse. At that moment, he linked things and discovered that the other party knew that he would make that time travel and that everything would be undone, so that individual never cared about what was happening.
Alter Yale was quite shocked after discovering that his decision to travel to the past was influenced by the God's Punishment. In fact, the only reason he managed to time travel successfully with his body was that the God's Punishment wanted that outcome.
That God's Punishment was weird, and it was easy for Alter Yale to deduce that it wasn't made for punishing, and he was also sure that it wasn't actively controlled by that individual, but he was unable to discover its true meaning.
However, he knew how to surpass the current loop provoked for the war, and he was ready to accomplish it at any cost.
When Alter Yale finished remembering about his past, which from the point of view of others was a future that already didn't exist, the Supreme God recovered the mobility of his body and Yale finished absorbing the incarnation.
The Supreme God immediately attacked Yale, but Yale didn't move at all.
However, the Supreme God's attack never reached Yale because he was sent flying back together with his spiky hammer by an outburst of energy from Yale's body.
Yale had the Celestial Knowledge active while battling with the Supreme God, but it ceased when he collided with the gigantic planet.
However, at that moment it activated automatically with the outburst of energy, but any of that was done consciously by Yale.
Seemingly boundless pure energy appeared from the passageway and surrounded Yale's body while the three connected universes trembled.
A reaction that affected all the universes that were connected by a passageway was something that no one in those universes had seen before because it was strange having universe connected by passageways.
The only way to provoke such a powerful reaction in a universe of that level, to which not even the Battle God's breakthrough could compete, was when a fifth level immortal became a sixth level immortal and reached the peak of that level at the same time.
When Yale absorbed his incarnation, he was just planning to recover, but just as Alter Yale planned, that fusion provoked a breakthrough.
The breakthrough method seemed similar to the one used by the Battle God, but the truth was that both were quite different.
The Battle God fused with his clone in a bet to make a breakthrough with the help of the Universe Qi and the clone itself, but Yale never had that intention because he didn't even think that it was possible.
Yale had Universe Qi from before, but his limit of control of the pure energy made it weaker than that of the Supreme God. However, he didn't expect that when he fused with his clone, instead of controlling just half of the pure energy, he turned capable of control it completely.
The part of the pure energy that the incarnation could control was just the opposite to the part that Yale's main body could control.
Yale couldn't understand exactly what the difference between different parts of the pure energy was, so even with synchronized memories, he didn't notice, but he felt it after fusing with his incarnation.
Of course, that was also something that Alter Yale planned carefully, guiding Yale's incarnation from the shadows to learn just what Yale couldn't learn.
The biggest bottleneck was after controlling half, but it didn't matter which parts. Anyway, unless someone had been a God, it was impossible to tell the difference from one part to another.
Only someone like Alter Yale could have executed a plan like that to let his past self make such a smooth breakthrough.
Of course, the millions of years lived by the incarnation suppled Yale's lack of experience at the moment that the memories synchronized.
Thus, the two reasons that separated Yale from the breakthrough were cleared in a moment.
