Doomsday
← Ch.586 | Ch.588 → |
The woman was really scared because she never thought that something like that could happen, but hearing Yale's voice, she could tell that he was very serious.
Anyway, with the state of her soul, she was doomed, but if Yale spared her universe, she would be able to survive using an extreme measure that, despite its inconveniences, was the only way she had to survive.
However, Yale wasn't planning to do anything like sparing the universe just because it would be doomed anyway, which would give that woman a chance.
There was a forbidden method to sacrifice ninety percent of a universe of that level in exchange for being able to be reborn, but only the universe creator could use it while being in such a universe, and the universe itself would be severely downgraded after it.
Moreover, the universe creator would lose all the memories, and unless managed to ascend to another universe, those wouldn't return.
That wasn't something that a universe creator would wish, but some universe creators decided to use it as a trump card in the worst situation.
The problem was that if a madman like Yale destroyed the whole universe, there was no chance for that method to work.
Yale heard of that method from the Smuggler Association, but he really wasn't thinking about it when he decided to destroy the whole universe, so it didn't make any impact on his decision; he just wanted to vent his anger. He had already restrained himself in previous universes due to the situations in them, but that woman had spoken in a way that was more than enough for Yale to act.
If she just repented and accepted the curse to prevent future actions of that kind, Yale would have restrained himself, but he couldn't forgive someone who treated his family as food.
"Lar. Tawa. Come out."
Yale waved his hand, and the two weapon spirits appeared in front of him.
The time inside the Storage Space had been altered, so for them, it had just been a minute since Yale threw them there together with Tofesh, who remained there alone.
Yale feared that Tofesh would try to stop him or that he would die by desperate attacks of the enemy. Even if nothing like that happened, Yale wanted to do it alone.
Lar and Tawa were his weapons, so using them was still considered being alone, but he didn't want Tofesh's help, nor he needed it.
"It is time to destroy this universe. We will enjoy it slowly. I want this woman to suffer while seeing it, and while we do it, we can also use this energy to power-up my own universe."
Lar and Tawa changed into their weapon forms immediately. They could feel that Yale wasn't on the mood of speaking anymore.
The first target was the second strongest of that universe, and then he continued going down in the scale of power.
None of them was really a threat to Yale, so he killed them as if he was just training. He felt that maybe some Minor Divinities would improve in that way, but he still deactivated the system notifications since he wanted to focus on destroying the universe before looking at the benefits.
Yale had already altered the time on that universe, so even if he took his time, it would be a short time compared to the time that would happen in other universes with the time naturally fluctuating.
The downside was that Tofesh inside the Storage Space would need to wait a lot more since the limits of the Storage Space were lower than those of that universe.
All the energy extracted from the slow destruction of the universe was being sent to what could be called Master Liye's Universe. Yale owned two universes at that moment, so he struggled thinking about how to differentiate them.
In the end, he went simple and used the identity of his first universe as a name, while the other was named after his feat of obtaining the Minor Time Divinity, Time Divinity Universe.
Master Liye's Universe was far weaker than the other one, and it was also linked to Alrein's Universe, so that was Yale's obvious choice to improve.
If the Master Liye's Universe ascended, as the owner, Yale would be able to enter despite the protection, and he felt that obtaining information from Alrein's Universe would be easier than from any other universe due to the connection between them.
Still, crossing from one to another didn't seem easy regardless of the connection, but he firmly believed that he could be the first on entering Alrein's Universe once the isolation finished.
While Yale was casually killing the strongest existences of that universe, the universe creator was in pain. She saw her friends, her family, and her disciples slaughtered one by one. The worst was that she knew that Yale wasn't even serious, he was just playing with them before killing them.
Although her despise for other universes, she cared about the people on her own. She wasn't a tyrant or anything like that, but for improving the quality of life on her universe, she didn't mind harming other universes.
She lived by the rule that the strong governed while the weak obeyed, and she always considered that those on her universe were on the strong side while those she invaded were weak, so it was their pleasure to die for her universe's sake.
However, she didn't think that one day, while planning another invasion, she would hit an iron wall that would make her suffer the same she did to other universes.
No matter how the universe creator cried and begged Yale to stop, there wasn't any reply. She didn't hear the words of those she destroyed either, so she knew that it was useless, but she just couldn't stop trying to seek a chance for her universe to survive.
Of course, she needed to live for her universe to survive, so she was ready to sacrifice a huge part of the universe for the chance of a future, but she knew that if Yale continued, not even that would be possible.
Soon, all the immortals were killed, so Yale started focusing on mortals who were on their way to reach immortality.
For them, Yale didn't even work personally. He just manipulated some elements to provoke catastrophes everywhere.
Some died while their planets started to suddenly freeze, others while sudden lighting storms surrounded the planet, not leaving a chance for any living being. Others directly saw that the floor suddenly changed into magma or spikes that killed them.
There were people who reached immortality while in the doomsday hoping to escape, but outside all the planets suffering from the doomsday Yale provoked, gigantic ice wolves were waiting to eat anyone who tried to escape.
Once those planets were finished, there were only a handful remaining, but those were full of ordinary mortals who couldn't train.
It looked as if the universe creator created those planets on purpose to be isolated from everything else, so they all lived ordinary lives while worshipping the universe creator as their Goddess.
Those were the woman's last trump card. Usually, people like that would be forgiven even if the rest of the universe was destroyed, which would give her a chance to be reborn.
"Please, kill me now and spare those mortals. They can't harm you in any way, and they have nothing to do with my actions."
Although her chances to recover her memories would lower a lot if she was reborn on that kind of planets, that was her last chance.
"Do you really care about them? Strange. If they are unrelated to you, I can't believe that you value them so much. Of course, if they are your hidden trump card or something like this, I can understand that you want me to spare them, but no way. I said I will destroy this universe, and I will destroy it all. For those mortals, I have even prepared something fun for their doomsday. They will be able to live some adventures before dying, or at least some of them will."
Since the targets were ordinary mortals, ordinary methods would be far too boring, so Yale decided to use something he read in a book in the past.
Controlling the Minor Death Divinity and the Minor Life Divinity, Yale created undead using the corpses of the dead in those planets. Moreover, they were poisonous, so a single scratch from them meant sure death, and obviously, the new dead ones would just be joining the undead army.
Those wise and strong enough to survive initially had some adventures trying to survive and create a future, but obviously, there wasn't any future awaiting them. Despite their efforts, in some years, they were all annihilated.
The universe creator knew that everything finished. She didn't have a single hope left. She couldn't even continue crying.
She regretted targeting a universe related to Yale. She learned on the hard way that the person she mocked as a dog that could just bark was really a bloodthirsty wolf that had gone crazy when she tried to harm his family.
However, it didn't matter how much she regretted it; she couldn't change the past.
While she was sunken in her regrets, Yale opened a dimensional passageway, and before leaving, he crushed the whole universe with the universe creator inside.
That was the first universe that Yale destroyed, and the news spread quickly through other universes.
