Last Wish System

"Quite a strange weakness. Why does such a thing happen? If you just say that is due to the fusion of soul and body into a wholesome existence, dying after a single death makes sense. Still, there is no reason for being unable to resurrect a True God manipulating the time."

Yale found Alrein's explanation a bit flawed, but he knew that Alrein didn't have any reason to lie.

"I myself am not too sure. It is already lucky enough that I managed to obtain this kind of information. However, this is the truth."

Alrein knew that there was a need for some more explanation in that topic, but he had already told everything he knew. It was already a miracle that he managed to learn so much, given the secrecy maintained on the subject.

Yale sighed.

"Well, with your True Miracle Divinity, I doubt that someone can kill you, so this won't be a problem for you even if you advance..."

In terms of defensive capabilities or rather in survival capabilities, the True Miracle Divinity was unbeatable. Its passive effects wouldn't let the user be killed.

"True enough. If it wasn't because I was planning to sacrifice myself to go the past and change everything, I wouldn't have been worried at all."

A death for that reason would still count, so even if Alrein saved the universe by traveling to the past, due to the fact that he would disappear later, the Alrein on that timeline would be fated to disappear anyway.

"Anyway, it isn't like if your True Dimensional Divinity is too much worse. Controlling it properly, I doubt that someone can harm you."

Alrein just knew what he saw about the True Dimensional Divinity, but that was enough to have a proper guess of its strength.

"I guess that is also true, but it isn't a passive effect. I can prevent that others could touch my body and thus harm me, but that would affect both those with good intentions and those with bad intentions. I won't even be able to hug my wife, my daughter, or my sisters. They won't accept this no matter what. However, if I become a True God and deactivate the protection being with them, and some enemy knew of it, I would die."

Yale didn't fear a frontal battle since no one would be able to harm him, but he knew very well that he couldn't maintain that level of defense when he was relaxing with his family.

That was a problem that applied to almost all True Gods too. For experts that reached that level, it wasn't strange having methods to protect themselves, but the problem was that they couldn't maintain them for a long time, or they were too impractical when they weren't in battle.

Those who had passive protections were usually considered the best, but none of them was as practical as the True miracle Divinity.

For example, the True Lust Divinity would prevent that others had malicious intentions towards the owner, but if the other party wasn't affected at all or the owner received an attack that was aimed at someone else, it would be useless.

"What about using Absolute Protection in a semi-permanent state? I can make that it resets the restoring time to the current ones at constant intervals as long as I am not in battle."

Yale was quite proud of Absolute Protection. It was an easy application of controlling the time, which could be taught easily to weaker disciples, and with enough supply of energy, even a mortal could use it like Yale himself did after reincarnation.

Moreover, Absolute Protection was something that was still practical even after Yale became so strong. At that moment, covering a whole universe wouldn't be a problem. Even doing it to a hundred connected universe simultaneously wouldn't be impossible for him.

Absolute Protection was quite limited when the user was weak, but used by someone with a Time Divinity, it would be difficult needing to reach that limit.

Yale couldn't even guess how effective it could become if used by someone like Great God Kroh, but someone at that level could just go back physically to the past or revert the time without the need for something like Absolute Protection.

Even Yale would just rely on Time Rewind as long as it was for something that wasn't implying his own security. After all, unless it was something cast beforehand like Absolute Protection, he wouldn't be able to use it if he was already dead.

"Sadly, that won't work."

Yale and Alrein turned around when they heard those words because neither of them had spoken them.

"When did we enter the Timeless Border?"

Alrein knew very well that unless it was something made by someone with a far stronger control of the time than them, it wouldn't be possible to be dragged to the Timeless Border without even noticing it.

"Your Absolute Protection is an ingenious skill, and you developed it while being quite weak, so it is worthy of praise, but sadly, if a True God dies inside Absolute Protection, that would still be the end for that True God."

It was difficult to say if the one who spoke was a man or a woman, and it would difficult to say if that person was handsome or beautiful, but without a doubt, that person had a unique charm.

"Great God Kroh? Or maybe, True God Kroh would be more exact."

Although Yale never saw Great God Kroh personally, the only person he could think in that situation was Great God Kroh. Alrein had reached the same conclusion since they were dragged into the Timeless Border.

"Strictly speaking, both are wrong but call me Great God Kroh anyway. If you were thinking about asking me how to use the Time Divinity to avoid the danger that a True God faces, my answer is that such a thing doesn't exist. At least, there is nothing better than what you would do with your True Divinities right now. Anyway, I am not a True God anymore, so I don't care about that flawed level."

Great God Kroh smiled while seeing the shocked faces of Yale and Alrein.

After all, they could understand the meaning of Great God Kroh's words.

"You advanced again?"

It had been a long time since Yale had been so shocked that he had difficulties in speaking.

"Correct, but that was already a long time ago. It is just that I haven't told anyone until now. Consider it a gift for having obtained the Time Divinity."

Great God Kroh was the only one who surpassed True God, but given Kroh's personality, the news didn't spread at all. No one even noticed it.

"Then how did you avoid the danger while being a True God?"

Even if Great God Kroh was telling the truth about nothing being better than what they could already do, Yale was still curious.

Usually, Yale's behavior of asking questions to a senior like Great God Kroh would seem very disrespectful, especially since Great God Kroh was literally the strongest of the multiverse at that moment, but since Kroh called them to the Timeless Border, Yale felt that Kroh was there to speak with them and listen to their questions.

"Similar to what you can do with the True Dimensional Divinity. I set my existence at a different time than anyone else instead of being in a different dimension like you can do. The drawbacks are also similar, but with just the Time Divinity, you can't do something like this."

Although Great God Kroh explained it as if it was easy, Yale and Alrein knew that it wasn't. They couldn't even imagine how to do it to be in front of others while their existence was set at a different time.

"Thank you. I guess I will care about problems of True Gods after becoming one, I am not a True God yet."

Yale sighed and let the problem in a corner of his mind. He was just a God, despite his power being comparable to a Great God. He was still two levels away.

"Anyway, you shouldn't really target True God, that isn't even a real level, we just believed it was back then. It is just an in-between-levels like the False God you reached before. Now that I think about it, it is funny how you choose exactly the opposite name to the other level of this kind."

Just like the problem of False God was that the strength was inconstant, the problem of True God was permanent death. Both had a flaw, but the first one was pretty negligible, while the other one was lethal.

"Then, tell us how to reach the real level, and we won't waste time thinking about becoming True Gods."

That time, Alrein was the one who spoke.

"I would like to do it, but I can't. I am not too sure myself about how I did it. It is related to advancing True Divinities, which are really a level, to the next level. We naively thought that the levels of Divinities and our own level should match, but that is false. Anyway, I was really a True God before advancing, so I can't discard that being a True God is something required, but I can't say it for sure either."

Great God Kroh stopped for a moment.

"However, I can tell you this. Two divinities of the same type can't exist simultaneously at this level, and once you reach this level, you can't die."
