Chapter 521 The End of the War
Last Wish System
Yale wanted to say something, but the pressure emanating from Alter Yale forced him to remain in silence despite having recovered the capability to speak after his existence recovered.
"Now that you suffered once the experience of having your existence erased, you will be immune to it. Well, you might feel a bit weak while receiving it, but nothing too serious. Although in universes of this level you won't find people who can erase existences unless they had obtained some smuggled objects from higher universes, once you visit those higher universes, this immunity will prove to be very useful to you."
Yale wanted to say that he didn't plan to go to any higher universe, but he was still unable to speak due to the pressure.
"On the higher universes there are methods to force you to reveal our true name, but those who saw me before should have misunderstood, so I doubt that they could provoke any problems to you."
Alter Yale feared that some member of the Council of Gods would have ill intentions in the future, so he misled them with his previous words.
"About the fate of the Supreme Garbage, you will decide it. We are the same, but at the same time, we are different. I am a member of the Council of Gods, but you aren't. However, once I disappear, my qualifications as a member of the Council of Gods will automatically flow towards you. This can be both a blessing and a curse. Only a God can use those qualifications, but if you have them, they can be stolen anyway, and if you are discovered, with your power, you will be easily targeted."
Alter Yale knew very well the danger that Yale could face if he were discovered, but no matter how Alter Yale disappeared, Yale would inherit those qualifications, and Alter Yale needed to disappear to break the loop, so it was unavoidable that Yale would obtain the qualifications as a member of the Council of Gods.
"I will give you the last remnant of my power, so you can experience the power of a God a bit. Use it to decide what to do with the Supreme Garbage and put an end to the war. Although you won't experience my full power, as long as that is the power of a God, it will help you a lot in the future because it will count as having reached godship once."
Yale could understand the reasons for Alter Yale's actions after hearing him.
Although Yale wasn't planning to leave the universe, he didn't know if he might need to do it someday or if people from higher universes would provoke problems in the future.
However, Alter Yale was sure that Yale would go to higher universes, no matter if he wanted or not.
At that moment, Yale could find a strange power flowing to him from Alter Yale, who started to disappear just after that.
"You need to resist the power of expulsion until the power I gave you vanished. I have also left some important information sealed in the Last Wish System, you will be able to access it when you need it, but now right now, it is better if you don't know. As for my memories, I won't give them to you. You don't need to become me. You mustn't become like me! I did a lot of things that I would have rather not do, but the situation forced me to do."
At that point, Yale could already speak, but he decided to remain in silence because those were Alter Yale's last words.
Moreover, Yale knew that if Alter Yale hadn't given his last power to him, Alter Yale wouldn't have started to disappear so quickly.
"I won't tell you to be righteous, but at least don't become an evildoer like me. You can consider it as my last wish since we have the Last Wish System. What a joke, we both knew that such a meaning is just a cover for the fact that it is an anagram of our full true name."
Yale didn't reply to those words, but since he fused with his young self in the Timeless Border, he had known about that, so it wasn't strange that Alter Yale knew about it.
"It seems that my time is over, but I am satisfied. Everything went as I planned until the very end."
Alter Yale started to laugh, and the laugh only stopped when Alter Yale disappeared completely.
Facing the annihilation of his own existence, he had just laughed.
From the moment he went to the past, he knew that he didn't have a future, but he didn't want a future, he wanted to give a future to his young self and his universe.
Yale gave Alter Yale a minute of silence that was also directed to the Mysterious Expert before opening the barrier that isolated the area from the rest of the universe.
The time that Yale had with the power of a God was limited, and he needed to concentrate to avoid being expelled from the universe due to being too strong, so he didn't want to waste time.
If it hadn't been for the barrier cast by Alter Yale, the reaction provoked would have been noticed for even the members of the Council of Gods that lost their connection with the universe previously.
Since that would have revealed that Yale and Alter Yale weren't exactly the same person, Yale was glad that the barrier had been so powerful.
However, Yale wanted to show to everyone the end of the Supreme Garbage.
"Wake up."
As soon as Yale spoke, the Supreme Garbage woke up.
"What?"
The Supreme Garbage was confused, but Yale didn't plan to let him ask.
"Shut up."
The Supreme Garbage lost the power to speak. It was different than using power to suppress him, Yale directly erased the capability to speak from the Supreme Garbage's existence.
"Everyone! Now I will proceed to execute the punishment that the Supreme Garbage deserves and put an end to this war."
Yale's voice could be heard in both universes, and if he had wanted, he could have also transmitted to his lower universe, but they didn't know about the war, so it was useless.
Soon after they heard Yale's voice, they were able to see the scene as if they were seeing it with their own eyes.
The Supreme Garbage was kneeling on the floor powerless while Yale looked almighty.
The only ones that weren't experiencing that strange phenomenon were those that were near enough to see it directly, but besides Wyba's group, only the universe creator was there.
He had reached the area while the barrier was isolating it, but he saw the show made by Alter Yale to the Council of Gods from the distance before the barrier was cast.
The universe creator was extremely happy when he saw that scene, but it wasn't because the Supreme Garbage was about to be executed. The truth was that the Yale he had known from the Timeless Border and the Yale in front of him had exactly the same aura, and the universe creator was sure that the loop was soon to be broken.
After all, if the war was finished, but the loop wasn't broken, someday they would need to repeat it, and he was tired from repeating parts of that war.
"From now on, this universe can't have immortals, nor anyone who surpassed the limits of an ordinary mortal. Everyone who doesn't belong to this universe will leave as soon as the punishment is applied to prevent being affected by it."
Those that had yet to leave found their bodies surrounded by light and unable move while they were being teleported to the other universe.
Only the universe creator and Wyba's group remained there because they were near to Yale and would only leave when Yale left.
"As for you, Supreme Garbage, I won't kill you. Killing you would provoke that this universe would become an abandoned universe, and that isn't my intention, but don't worry, your fate will be worse than death. From now on, you don't have, body, soul, or consciousness. You will just exist as a part of the universe, making it exist, nothing more."
At that moment, the Supreme Garbage was alive, but at the same time, he wasn't different from dead. His ego had disappeared, and there wasn't any trace of him anymore.
Yale was holding a crystal on his hands. That crystal represented the existence of that universe after the Supreme Garbage disappeared.
After all, it wasn't possible that a universe that once had an owner turned ownerless, and if it had an owner, it could turn into an abandoned universe.
That crystal just served to turn the universe into an abandoned universe at any moment.
After that, Yale released the souls of the people he had killed in the war except those that he had completely eradicated.
Those souls had lost their memories, but at least they would have a chance to live mortal lives someday as Yale had promised to them.
"Let's go. From now on this universe isn't connected to any other place. The war has finished."
With those words, the defeated universe was left empty of intelligent life. As for those souls, they would need to wait a lot of years until they could reincarnate.
All the passageways connecting to that universe disappeared as soon as Yale, the universe creator and Wyba's group left.
