Last Wish System

After leaving the passageway, Yale discovered that he was on the outer space, which showed that the universe he reached had a structure similar to his own instead of the one he ascended to.

Tofesh was sent out of the Storage Space a moment after that.

"Oh, this kind of universe is nostalgic. Should we start to investigate if this universe is planning to invade or not?"

There wasn't any doubt that the universe they have detected the ascension of Alrein's universe and investigated it, but that didn't mean that they were planning to attack, just that they obtained information from it.

After all, it wasn't strange investigating a recently ascended universe, even Awat did it, and he didn't have any intention of invading others.

Thus, Yale didn't know if that universe had bad intentions or not at that moment.

"Yes. For their own good, I hope that they just investigated it for the sake of curiosity."

Tofesh smiled instead of replying because he knew that Yale didn't really care about the lives of people who threatened his family and friends.

However, it would be tiring if every universe that investigated Alrein's universe was planning to invade, so they really hoped that most universes didn't have plans to invade.

Yale and Tofesh started to travel looking for a planet with people living, but after an hour, they hadn't discovered any planet, not even those without people.

Although there weren't planets, there were a lot of asteroids and remains of destroyed plants, but it seemed like they were destroyed far in the past.

"This seems to have been a war zone in the past. It is better if we leave this area quickly."

Yale didn't think that they could find any information in an area that was devastated so far in the past. As for the reasons the area was destroyed, Yale didn't care at all. After all, he didn't know anything of that universe, so the only thing that mattered was if they were his enemies or not.

About half an hour later, Yale discovered that some persons were approaching them, which was really unexpected.

Since Yale wanted to obtain some information, he believed that it was a good chance. After all, those approaching were all weak enough to be instantly killed if they were enemies.

"Halt!"

Once they approached, the leader of the group ordered Yale and Tofesh to halt.

They didn't like that, but they weren't so petty to kill them all for that reason.

"Who are you?"

Once the group reached the point Yale and Tofesh were, they surrounded them.

"We are just lost travelers."

Yale thought that with the Minor Lie Divinity, it shouldn't be difficult to cheat them.

"Lost travelers? Show us your travel permission."

By the words of the leader of the group, they seemed to be members of an organization with big power. Otherwise, their group wouldn't dare to be so reckless in front of two experts that they couldn't measure.

"We lost it. Why do you think we are lost? We met some problems and lost everything we were carrying."

The leader of the group laughed when Yale spoke.

"You have too bad luck. Well, it doesn't matter if you lost it or not. Being outside a planet without travel permission is a crime. From now on, you two are slaves. You must allow us to enslave your souls right now, or we will issue an arrest order to all your family. Don 't worry, as slaves, you will have the honor to be the cannon fodder in our great invasion to that puny ascended universe."

As the leader of the group spoke, he never felt that there was any chance that Yale and Tofesh retaliated. It didn't matter their level because the leader of the group firmly believed that no one would defy his authority.

Thus, he died without understanding anything.

After the leader finished to speak, all the members of the group died without leaving behind a corpse, and Yale stole their memories.

"They courted death, so they died. What a group of fools."

Tofesh didn't know the contents of the memories of that group, but he was sure that they deserved to die.

"They deserved to die, but they worked under the emperor governing this universe, who is a tyrant, so not even ninth level immortals dare to defy this kind of people."

The universe was an ownerless one, but there was an Imperial Family that controlled it. In the memories of those guys that died, there was information about legends that said that in the past, the Imperial Family just governed above everyone, but they weren't tyrants. However, everything changed when the Emperor served ascended to the throne.

Of course, those were just legends because they happened very far in the past.

"Anyway, they are really planning to invade, so we must act. The number of ninth level immortals here is quite huge even among the slaves. An enslaves ninth level immortal that can battle without caring for his own life is something far too dangerous."

The slaves couldn't disobey orders, so they would even execute a suicide plan without hesitating.

"It seems that this universe is quite powerful. Do you know if any Minor God is backing this universe?"

A large number of ninth level immortals were a problem, but it wasn't an unsolvable one. However, if a Minor God were backing the universe, everything would be more difficult.

"No. No one is backing this universe, or at least those guys didn't know about it. In fact, they didn't even know about the existence of Gods."

Yale found the situation too strange, but as long as there weren't Minor Gods involved, he just needed to slaughter his way until all enemies disappeared.

"You said Gods? Do you know about the existence of Gods? No, that is impossible. No one should know about them except my abominable brother and me."

A voice they never heard before surprised them, and an instant later, an extremely old man appeared in front of them.

The man was quite weak since he was someone who seemed to have just reached immortality, but at the same time, Yale felt that the old man wasn't simple at all.

"Who are you?"

The old man smiled when he heard that question.

"Hearing that question, I am sure that none of you is from this universe. I am the most wanted criminal of this universe, the little brother of the current Emperor. Giving my head to the Emperor is enough to make him make you his right hand, so even a kid knows about my old face."

The old man appeared after he discovered that the scouts of the area were killed, but he only managed to hear starting from the part about the Gods, so he didn't know what Yale and Tofesh were planning exactly.

Anyway, anything bad for his big brother was good for him.

"You are right. We aren't from this universe. We are from the universe this universe is planning to invade, but we ascended before the universe. I guess that you can understand our reasons to be here."

Yale didn't plan to explain the whole story, so he decided just to say those words, although they weren't true since Tofesh hadn't ascended at all.

"You want to kill those that want to invade your universe, right? Delightful. This is really a gift sent from the heavens. Please come with me. I will tell you everything I know. As long as my brother is killed, I don't care if you destroy the whole universe with me included. After all, I already lost everything on the hands of that bastard."

Yale could tell that the old man was telling the truth. His hate for his brother and the rest of the universe wasn't less than the hate Yale and Tofesh were feeling.

They followed the old man to a place that seemed a separated dimension, but it looked more like one of the oldest versions of the Storage Space rather than something like Tenir's castle.

"Sorry for the lack of space. Making it with this size is my limit. Take a seat. To explain everything about the current, I need to start explaining my own past. Although I was the second son, I was the one supposed to be the Emperor, if just that bastard hadn't done that..."

The old man seemed to have difficulties in speaking about the topic without succumbing to rage.

"Due to that bastard, I lost everything and everyone I appreciated. The ruins of this part of the universe were the place we lived in our childhood, which was the first thing he destroyed because he didn't want that others knew about his past. He even erased all the records about Gods because he wanted to turn into an omnipotent existence. Thus, having people of higher levels existing is bad for him. Those that near him in strength are always enslaved or killed to prevent them from turning stronger."

Yale felt that the old man was losing the point again and starting to mix everything.

"Ah, sorry. What I wanted to say was that his past must also disappear, or he won't be considered an omnipotent existence that no one can replace. However, I spread legends that he can't stop without wiping the whole universe first."

The old man started to laugh, and Yale started to wonder if there was really useful information to hear from him.

"Please stop rambling and start from the beginning."
