Chapter 446 Alter Yale
There wasn't any reaction to Alter Yale's words, but it wasn't because the bandits and Lar didn't want to react.
They were unable to move their bodies, and even their faces had a stiff expression.
"No reaction? To think that people at your level wouldn0t react when hearing my name, traveling to the past is really weird. Usually, even people who could annihilate you all with a pinky finger would cry in fear when hearing my nickname, but it seems that I need to show my strength a bit or you all wouldn't know the fearsomeness of an evildoer feared by countless universes."
Alter Yale showed his aura, and the bandits felt as if their souls were going to dissipate just from the pressure. Even an Origin God would be unable to endure that aura.
Fortunately, there wasn't any killing intent directed towards Lar, or she would have died on the spot.
"I controlled myself to not kill you, that wouldn't be fun, but my power really decreased a lot, huh. You aren't even crying at all. I knew that physical time travel would weaken myself a lot, but this feels like if I have turned into a little ant, it is awful."
Alter Yale seemed quite depressed for his lack of power, but that only served to scare even more the bandits.
"Oh, maybe they are petrified from fear, so they can't move? It shouldn't be, I hid my aura after finishing the Time Travel, but maybe it affected the surroundings. Let's try this."
Alter Yale spoke to himself ignoring the fact that the others could hear him.
A second later the world returned to normal, and all the bandits fell into their knees powerless with terrified faces.
"That is! That is the expression I wanted to see from you all. It was really a problem with the surrounding with my time travel, my bad. Now I can torture you all properly."
Alter Yale was smiling, but that wasn't a warm smile, it was a cold smile that gave goosebumps to anyone who saw him.
"This should be some kind of trick! You all! Stand up and offer your souls to me! I will destroy this guy who is acting as if he is the best."
Lor didn't want to admit defeat and chose to believe that Alter Yale was a faker who managed to do everything with a cheap trick.
"Alter Yale, or whatever you want to call yourself! I am an Essence God! You can't kill a god that easily!"
Lor stood up and waited for the others to offer their souls to her, but it didn't happen.
"Why are you so slow!"
She moved her arm while speaking and noticed that her arm wasn0t the arm she knew.
It was an insect arm.
Lor screamed in fear and looked at the rest of bandits. They all looked like human-sized ants.
"You know, I was feeling bad for having turned weak as an ant, and you spoke too much nonsense, so I rewrote your bodies and souls to be those of ants. After all, your behavior is like that of an ant queen and those fools following you deserved to become mere ants."
Alter Yale laughed as he was enjoying the situation.
"Don't worry. I am not wicked enough to erase all your power and turn you into a normal-sized ant. In those conditions observing you would have been a pain and being an ant without enough power you wouldn't be able to speak which would have been less fun."
Lor had never felt so much fear in any of her lives. She had reincarnated to times, the first to be born as someone of that universe and merge with their people easily and the second one when her soul was damaged by the guy she cursed.
However, in none of her three lives, she found someone as scary as the man in front of her.
"You said that you are an Essence God, right? I almost forgot how people of this kind of universe liked to put huge names like that one. Calling a mere third level immortal, God, is truly a disrespectful thing, especially when you are in front of someone who has reached godhood once."
Alter Yale had experienced things that those at universes with a low level couldn't even imagine, and his knowledge was far superior to them.
Although each universe had their way to name immortals, the higher universes still had a way to classify them in a standardized way.
It was a similar thing with the mortal levels which didn't have the same naming in all the worlds, but there was a standardized counting of the levels.
The strongest people in that universe where those at the seventh level immortal, which was also the limit in that universe, but in higher universes that level wasn't even the peak of immortals, and seventh level immortals were still far from calling themselves, gods.
Of course, for those weaker than them in a universe where stronger people didn't exist, it wasn't that strange that they created that kind of names but using them against someone who was a real god was a huge disrespect.
There were a lot of rules in the higher universe as those of non-interfering with lower universes, but there was also one that granted a god the power to annihilate anyone who while being in front of said god used the word 'god' to name itself.
"Why are you doing this? This is an act of revenge, right? You were unable to deal with my great universe in your time, and you were so frustrated that managed to come to this era to deal with us! Do you think that you are the justice or something like that?"
Lor had lost her rationality. She wanted to win the psychological battle although she knew that she couldn't win in a physical one.
"This is fun. It seems that you are thinking about me as if I am the same kind of person as the Yale of this era. No, I am not acting for justice. I already told you, I am an evildoer. I am doing this for my own selfishness and not for any noble reason. However, I admit that it is true that I originally failed to save this universe and survived by managing to flee to a higher one."
Alter Yale noticed smugness on the ant's face. Anyone with less perception than him wouldn't have noticed anything in that insect face.
"See! You are useless! You fled to a higher universe, but after doing that, you can't interfere again with universes of this level. You lost against us, and you are acting as a bad loser by coming back!"
Lor grew excited as her ego grow. She even forgot about the failure of her subordinated in giving her their souls.
However, Alter Yale just started to laugh.
"Do you know how I turned an evildoer who obtained the hatred of countless universes? Everything started when I broke the rules to descend to your universe and erased it completely!"
Alter Yale laughed a bit after saying those words.
"It is a pity that the effects of erasing universes can't affect the past, or you wouldn't exist at this moment. My greatest regret in life was being too reckless and erasing you all in an instant not giving you all even time to suffer. I came back to destroy all your plans and put you all under suffering until I am satisfied enough!"
Alter Yale lost everything in the hands of Lor's universe, and he was the only person who survived from his universe.
Moreover, he only managed to do that because of the universe creator's sacrifice.
After going to higher universes his luck didn't improve, and every time he got close to someone, he ended losing them. Everything that mattered for him was destroyed without exception.
After repeating that process several times, Alter Yale started to hate everything and decided to destroy everything related to those who offended him.
Lor's universe was the first, but Alter Yale also killed everyone who offended him in the higher universes, without caring about their position at all. He truly fell into madness.
Quickly, he turned into a criminal sought by countless universes, but Alter Yale survived each time that someone stronger than him wanted to kill him, and he started to make his reputation as the Universe Eraser when the universe of each person who tried to kill him was erased.
Every person linked to that universe and even the lower universe linked to those universes disappeared without a trace, which only led to more people to appear seeking revenge.
The Universe Eraser become a legendary criminal that inspired fear for the people in all the universe where his existence was known.
The masses on those universes asked their top experts to ignore the Universe Eraser and never offend him. After all, the whole universe would end up paying for those actions, and they didn't want to die for grudges of others.
The top experts were forced to agree, or their own universe would have revealed against them, which wouldn't have been too different from having the universe annihilated.
Of course, sometimes someone tried to kill Alter Yale, but the result was another universe erased.
Alter Yale grew stronger each time someone offended him, and a battle happened, and his strength was enough to force a stalemate with those who wanted him dead.
