Last Wish System

Yale felt extreme urgency in slaying the king, but he thought that those at the resistance might interfere if they didn’t know about the attack, so he spoke with them to avoid them from interfering.

If they tried to help, they would end destroying their plans since Lina planned to rescue everyone without being noticed. Moreover, Yale didn’t want others to see what would happen in the royal palace because he wouldn’t forgive anyone who saw what he was about to do.

"Stop! A human can’t be here! One more step and we will arrest you!"

Some guards neared Yale since he was walking by an area near the royal palace that only the dwarves with high status could live. A normal dwarf could at least walk by those streets by sightseeing, but a human couldn’t as that was a great sin.

Yale didn’t reply to those guards and continued walking as if they hadn’t even spoken.

"You dare!"

The guards were angered by the fact that a human ignored them, so they stepped ahead to arrest him, and, in the process, they planned to beat him a lot to vent their anger.

However, they felt a lack of strength when trying to near Yale and screamed when they saw that their companions had white hair and looked like elderly people.

They were all at the Grandmaster Rank or the Sage Rank, so it was difficult that they would age so much in seconds, but they didn’t have time to ponder about it because they started to fell to the ground as their lifespans ended and their bodies rotted and turned into dust.

Yale made the Time Essence enveloped around him and accelerated the aging process of anyone who neared him without exceptions, so only those who were at least Law Masters would be able to survive to the deadly trap of time.

Countless royal guards died in that way while trying to stop Yale’s walk towards the palace.

Yale knew that not all the royal guards were evil, but he didn’t care since they were sided with his enemy.

Shirk, Driwna, and Julie weren’t the only people related to Yale kidnapped by the king and Lina already gave a full list to Yale when she inspected it.

Lar, Aizu, and Ange appeared near each other after falling into the space ripples in the timeline modified by Yale. They heard about the Thousand Frost Wolves Company and deduced that Julie was the one who used that name to attract the others.

Sadly, when they reached the capital, Julie had already got kidnapped, and they were instantly kidnapped when they asked about Julie saying that they were Julie’s friends.

Lar was like a sister for Yale, while Aizu was his disciple, so he was far more angered than when the others got kidnapped, but what triggered Yale’s utmost rage was that Ange was also kidnapped.

Ange was his daughter who faced a lot of trouble for helping him in succeeding in reincarnation. If it hadn’t been for her, Yale wasn’t sure if he would have succeeded someday.

Even when both of them lost their memories, Ange always treated Yale very well, and he wouldn’t have been able to retain his sanity without her moral support at that time.

Thus, touching Ange was something that Yale would never forgive. He cared a lot for his friends and disciples, but his true family was still more important, so he didn’t mind becoming a heartless monster when someone harmed them.

Yale understood pretty well how Lina’s father should have felt when Lina was young and was about to be forced to marry. If they were in a world ruled by that king instead than on the world of Yale’s father, he would have done his utmost to destroy it.

However, since the situation was different, he decided to erase from the world everyone who was related to that king, without caring about the reasons.

He was already showing enough mercy by letting the Dwarf Kingdom continuing to exist, but those working for the king had no chance at all of surviving.

Yale reached the doors of the royal palace and opened them as if he was opening the door of his house and completely disregarded the deaths of the people inside once the Time Essence affected them.

The royal palace was silent after some seconds of painful cries, and Yale reached the royal chamber where the king and his most loyal guards were waiting.

"I was wondering who had been so bold to kill my people, but you delivered yourself. Abusing of weaklings by just being a Law Master. Guards, kill him!"

Yale was deliberately showing that he was a Law Master to make them lower their guards as he felt that their reactions of suffering would be more fun to see.

After all, Yale was a Law Master because the state of his soul, but he already fused with some Essences, so his power was more similar to an Essence God than to a Law Master.

The Law Masters acting as the king’s guards attacked Yale, but he just smiled as he muttered some words.

"Activate first level World’s Authority."

When Yale received authority to blown off the world, his authority was also upgraded, or it would be impossible for him controlling the world to for it to self-destroy.

There was an unspoken rule to never mess with the creator of any world while staying in the created world because the authority was quite fearsome, and it couldn’t be considered a fair battle.

"Soul Stealer!"

Those two words were enough to freeze the souls of all the attackers. They felt as if they had lost control of themselves.

A second later all their heads fell to the ground after being cut by the Space-time Judgement Sword, and Yale grabbed the king’s neck with his right hand.

Soul Stealer was an evil skill that combined the World’s Authority with the Death Essence to steal the power on the souls of those inhabiting the world.

It was possible using it with just the authority, but the process would be far too slow for practical use in battle.

Wicked families used worlds as farms to let their children slowly steal the power of the souls of those who mastered a Law making it easier for the child mastering it.

In some other places, that was a punishment for huge crimes as the Laws stole from the soul wouldn’t be recovered and it would be as if that person had never practiced that Law at all. Even the most basic skill related to that would be completely impossible to use.

Yale only decided to use that evil method because he discovered the plans that the kingdom had for the prisoners. In fact, if it hadn’t been because the mess that the Death God provoked, the plans wouldn’t have stopped for ten years and the prisoners would have been beyond salvation at that time.

Absorbing the power of the souls of several Law Masters hastened the recovery of Yale’s soul who immediately became a Law God in the Water Law, in great part thanks to his experience battling with Lina, and a Law Master in Thunder, Fire, Darkness, and Light thanks to stealing the knowledge of those Law Masters.

Due to Yale having quite a deep knowledge himself he mastered them quickly with that boost. He also obtained some understanding of the Earth Law and the Wind Law, but his previous proficiency hadn’t even reached the first threshold, and his talent wasn’t the best, so he was still far from mastering them.

Moreover, with the recovery of his soul to Law God, he immediately stepped into a fake Essence God level in the Space Essence mastering it completely on the spot.

As for the Life Essence and the Death Essence, Yale fused with the perfectly at the same moment that his soul improved, so his power with them was already at an Essence God level.

Soul Stealer couldn’t kill others but turned them into weaklings, so Yale still send their weakened souls to torment with his sword, but for the king, he had other plans.

"A puny being like you dared to kidnap my family, disciples, and friends. Your sin can’t be forgiven, and you will be doomed to endless suffering."

The effects of Soul Stealer were weaker on Law Gods and ineffective on Essence Gods, but the Death Essence attacked the soul of the king, and the abnormal strength of Yale was restraining his body, so the king was also powerless.

The king couldn’t understand his situation, but his mental strength had been broken, and he was crying instead of trying to find a solution.

"Mercy..."

Yale stared him with an icy face.

"You were going to sell the prisoners to people who planned to make them soul-slaves. You already sold a lot of them before I became the Death God and provoked a mess disturbing your plans."

It was a coincidence that the Death God messed with the king’s plans, but there wasn’t any need to clarify that part, and the king felt utmost fear after hearing Yale’s words.

"Your punishment is endless suffering. The Purgatory World is waiting for you."

As Yale finished his words, the king disappeared from the universe regretting his greed.
