Chapter 589 Restriction Broken, Breakthrough!
"I am finally back here. It has been a long time. Now I just need to look for the passageway connecting to Alrein’s universe and wait until it opens when the isolation is finished."
After dealing with all the universes that interacted with Alrein’s universe, Yale went directly to Master Liye’s Universe, which had already ascended. However, that didn’t include universes of a higher level because Yale couldn’t go there without advancing to Minor God, and although he was at the point that he could advance at any moment, he was restraining his level from increasing. Anyway, universes usually only targeted others of the same level, so Yale wasn’t especially worried about them. He was confident in being the first in entering Alrein’s universe, and anyone with the guts to attack would need to face him.
Although it was still in the isolation period, as the owner, Yale could enter and leave at will.
Of course, the fact that Yale went there wasn’t unnoticed by universes of the same level keeping an eye on potential targets to invade and seeing Yale entering there was akin to confirming that the universe belonged to him; it wasn’t a secret the destruction he provoked when Alrein’s universe was targeted, so most of them regretted even thinking about invading it.
Even if some of those universes had the guts to attack a universe that a Great God owned, they definitely wouldn’t do it if the Great God was present.
"Why is the passageway open? I can see clearly that the other universe is still isolated. It is understandable that I can skip the isolation regarding this universe, but it shouldn’t work with Alrein’s Universe."
Yale was the only one in that universe that saw the passageway open. For the others, since their own universe was isolated, it didn’t matter the state of Alrein’s universe, they couldn’t leave Master Liye’s Universe.
While thinking about that matter, a possible reason appeared in Yale’s mind.
"An illusion? Since I have always been immune, I didn’t even consider it, but if someone used the Great Illusion Divinity, not even I can notice if there is one in front of me..."
Yale felt that it wasn’t impossible that someone reached that level and cast the illusion to protect the universe from invasions.
Thus, he rushed to the passageway and crossed it, hoping to be received by everyone on the other side, but he was still restless at his heart due to the vision he saw.
The isolation was indeed an illusion, so Yale managed to return to Alrein’s Universe without problems.
However, no one was there to welcome him, and it wasn’t just that they weren’t in front of the passageway, which would make sense since he returned abruptly, Yale couldn’t sense any life at all.
He immediately teleported to the place he saw the scene he didn’t want to see in his vision, but even in the reality it was the same. Everyone was dead.
Yale had the feeling that something was wrong, and his intuition was right. Those who cast the illusion were the invaders, as for how they invaded the universe without being noticed, and while the universe was still isolated, Yale had absolutely no idea about it, nor like he cared anyway.
He had started to laugh in madness at the instant he saw the scene.
"You really did it, bastards. I don’t care how you did it, but I know that this isn’t an illusion, and you all will pay for this."
[Congratulations on obtaining Great Rage Divinity.]
[Congratulations on obtaining Great Illusion Divinity.]
The illusion surrounding the universe disappeared for Yale at that moment, he could clearly see that it was just a very well-prepared trick.
Moreover, he could also feel that the dimensional wall was damaged at several points, which seemed to be the cause of the invasion.
Judging by just the remains of the damage, anyone who did that was at least quite a powerful Great God.
Yale teleported to that place and laughed again.
"You underestimated me. I didn’t want to think about this possibility, but since I saw that vision, I have been thinking about what to do if it turned true."
Yale could feel that the invasion of Alrein’s Universe happened at a similar time as his vision.
It wasn’t a coincidence that he had that vision, his subconscious noticed that something was happening in Alrein’s universe, which was also the reason Yale couldn’t contain his rage, but he consciously denied that possibility.
He saw a vision about the future, but in that vision, everyone was already dead, so it wasn’t a guarantee that they were alive when yale saw the vision. He just believed it because common sense dictated that it was impossible that someone invaded an isolated universe.
In fact, the only reason there were still corpses in the vision was that Alrein manipulated the time flow.
He knew that Alrein was still alive, or the universe would have decayed. The invaders never planned to kill him, they only wanted to capture him, or the cover they made wouldn’t have been able to hide the truth. However, they didn’t expect that at the last second, Alrein would advance to Minor God and escape ascending to another universe.
Since he was the universe creator, he was able to leave without the need to use any trick like the invaders did to enter.
"There is no need to restrain my power anymore. Explode."
[Congratulations on becoming a Minor God.]
All the energy Yale had been restraining was released, provoking a breakthrough with a lot of extra energy.
He was feeling the expelling force, but he could delay it temporally with the Minor Time Divinity, so he ignored it.
"Minor Time Divinity: Time Rewind."
As Yale spoke, the time on the universe started to go in reverse, but even with so much extra energy added, the Minor Time Divinity had limitations about how much would be able to remain in that state.
However, Yale wasn’t planning to use the Minor Time Divinity.
[Congratulations on obtaining Time Divinity.]
The speed of Time Rewind increased by several folds as the system notified the breakthrough.
Yale had long ago felt that he was near to obtain the Time Divinity, but he also felt that he needed some critical point to advance. It was just for that reason that he accumulated energy before advancing to Minor God and used Time Rewind, even knowing that it wouldn’t be enough to undo all deaths.
The target was that breakthrough because although the Minor Time Divinity was insufficient, Yale believed that the Time Divinity definitely could do it.
"Shit. I need to open passageways to those universes that came, or the time can’t be restored properly."
Since there had been a huge invasion affecting thousands of universes, it was impossible to just make the time reverse without affecting them first.
Yale started to use all his power to force open the closed passageways to those universes.
Although it was easier thanks to them having been opened before, it was something capable of leaving without energy, even those who were ahead of Great God.
Yale was a Minor God comparable to a God, but his power was clearly insufficient
However, once Yale obtained the Time Divinity, he was able to delay being expelled by an indefinite time. Even if it needed to be though sheer will force, he would definitely reverse the time.
"More. Open more passageways. I need to do it. I also feel that the time is connected to universes without a previous passageway. I need to connect to those too."
Yale was clearly overworking and harming himself, but he didn’t care. His mind only cared about open all the passageways and had forgotten about anything else.
One after another, the passageways opened, but each one increased the difficulty by several folds.
If it weren’t because Time Rewind was also healing Yale constantly, he would have died several million times for that reckless attempt to open all the passageways.
"No one will be able to flee! No matter which universe you are, I will find you and kill you! You will be returning everything stolen from this universe, lives included!"
With Yale’s shout, another ten passageways opened, and he was about to fell unconscious, but instead, he heard two notifications as he recovered completely.
[Detected that the user obtained a new Divinity, but it isn’t in the database. Unable to identify. The level is also unknown, but it is determined to be stronger than a Great Divinity.]
[The new Divinity forced a breakthrough to God.]
Yale heard those notifications, but he didn’t think about them, he just waved his hands, and several thousand passageways appeared.
Even creating one was painful before, but after those two notifications, Yale connected all the universes involved effortlessly even when there wasn’t a previous passageway to make the things easier.
"You all come back here. It is time for your punishment and execution."
Yale’s voice resonated through all the connected universes as they were also feeling the time going in reverse.
"Yale really did it, I think that he will finish you. I won’t need to act like Alter Yale, after all. Then, I guess I can get the Minor Time Divinity now."
Alrein was battling a Great God, but he stopped once he noticed Yale’s actions.
However, he needed to make that breakthrough to ensure that his own power didn’t decay and that those he killed remained dead.
With a thought, he obtained the Minor Time Divinity.
