Last Wish System

Inside the Storage Space, Yale yawned.

"How long have I been sleeping?"

It was a rhetorical question that didn’t expect an answer, but it was answered anyway.

"I don’t know, master. I have been sleeping too."

Lar transformed into her human form after waking up, but she looked quite different from before.

"You have grown a lot."

The last time Yale saw Lar’s human form, she was still a kid, but she already looked like a teenager.

"Those souls didn’t taste well, but they were nourishing."

After hearing that answer, Yale decided to avoid asking about if she was serious about the souls having different tastes.

"Well, at least you are already at ninth level immortal."

After speaking, Yale decided to check the system because he was unable to determine his level normally.

[True Name: Astel.]

[Used Names: Yale. Liye.]

[Membership of the Council of Gods (partially usable).]

[Immortal Level: Unknown]

[Divinity: Ice. Reincarnation.]

[Minor Divinity: Crafting. Sword. Space. Water. Earth. Metal. Lightening. Archery. Whip. Lance. Hammer. Axe. Fire. Wind. Light. Darkness. Life. Death. Rod. Poison. Illusion. Martial Arts. Battle. Elemental. Perseverance]

[Unknown: Time.]

He already guessed that it would be the case, but even the system was unable to determine his level.

However, he didn’t expect that even the progress of time would be the same.

He knew that his power was still inferior to a Minor God, so it was difficult to ascertain in which kind of level he was, but he knew very well the source of that unknown Time level.

After all, it was the same he used while in his powered-up state, the one Alter Yale reached.

Moreover, he noticed that the curse on his body disappeared completely after he used it on the power-up.

Yale felt that probably he absorbed the remaining power of the curse and that had helped him to retain a level that didn’t reach the Minor Time Divinity despite being ahead of the bottleneck.

The problem was his level. If he were an eighth level immortal or a ninth level immortal, the system would detect it, and the same would apply if he were a Minor God, but that wasn’t the case.

Thus, Yale started to test his power inside the Storage Space, but after one hit, half of the Storage Space crumbled.

"Shit, I forgot to reinforce it before testing."

Yale hadn’t upgraded the Storage Space in a while, so it wasn’t too resistant.

Especially after the increase of power he obtained using Time Leap wasn’t something that the Storage Space could endure without rebuilding it first with his new capacities.

In fact, the speed of the flow of time was affected by that limitation, so it didn’t reach the limits of Yale’s power since it reached first the limit of the Storage Space.

Yale rebuilt the destroyed part and reinforced the whole Storage Space before trying again.

Of course, Lar had been extremely bored in the months Yale needed to finish the process, but she didn’t complain.

After testing his power on the upgrades Storage Space, Yale was sure of one thing.

Awat wouldn’t be able to win against him.

As for those as strong as Mojo or Tofesh’s father, Yale could guess their strength due to his battles against the strongest of the Sacred Empire, and if he needed to judge the difference of strength, he was stronger than them.

He wasn’t strong enough to beat them easily, but he would hold an advantage in battle.

"Lar, come here. Let’s test our strength together."

Until that moment, Yale relied merely on his body, but in a real battle, he would use a weapon, and a ninth level immortal sword could easily mark a difference.

Moreover, the comparisons of strength were all without using weapons.

Lar smiled before flying towards Yale, and then she changed to her sword form.

Yale started to test their combined strength, but after just one slash, he stopped.

In front of him, there was a wound on the space. The slash had broken the separation between the Storage Space and the outside world, but it didn’t stop there. He also saw Tenir’s Castle after the outside world.

He was near the passageway, but he never expected that a hit would also cut through that dimension.

He knew that without wielding Lar, he couldn’t do something like that with just one attack.

An instant later, he tried to appraise Lar.

[Lar: Sword with a spirit. Immortal Level: Unknown.]

After hearing the system, Yale was sure that Lar wasn’t a ninth level immortal; she also reached a strange level that the system couldn’t identify.

He didn’t believe that those souls were the reason. He was sure that those were just enough to Lar to become a powerful ninth level immortal, but nothing more.

"Lar, did you absorb something besides those souls?"

When he asked, Lar nodded before replying.

"I also absorbed a delicious stream energy that master was emanating. I wasn’t conscious, so I just absorbed it by instinct. Sad that so much energy just dispersed after leaving the master’s body. Had I been conscious, I would have eaten it all."

After hearing Lar’s reply, Yale understood why Lar reached that kind of level. He felt that probably that stream of energy was far more nourishing than all the souls she ate.

"Lar, you aren’t a ninth level immortal, you are stronger than that, but you aren’t a Minor God Sword yet. The same happens to me. Calling it unknown level doesn’t sound well. What do you think about False God? After all, I bet that everyone would believe that we already reached godship since we are ahead of ninth level immortal."

Yale felt that it was a good idea, but Lar didn’t seem to like it.

"I think that Demigod is better. It makes us seem more powerful."

As a weapon, Lar felt that anything with the word false in the name was an offense since she wasn’t any falsification.

"That would be a lie. We aren’t part gods part immortal or something like that. Strictly speaking, we are still immortals, but our power will be easily mistaken as Minor Gods. Even those with more knowledge would just feel that we reached godship but are restraining our power to not harm the universe."

Lar wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what to say. After all, she knew very well that what Yale said was true, and they hadn’t reached godship.

"No reply, then it is settled."

At that moment, Yale added that piece of information to the system, which updated to display the new information with a small extra that Yale added.

[True Name: Astel.]

[Used Names: Yale. Liye.]

[Membership of the Council of Gods (partially usable).]

[Level: False God]

[Divinity: Ice. Reincarnation.]

[Minor Divinity: Crafting. Sword. Space. Water. Earth. Metal. Lightening. Archery. Whip. Lance. Hammer. Axe. Fire. Wind. Light. Darkness. Life. Death. Rod. Poison. Illusion. Martial Arts. Battle. Elemental. Perseverance]

[False Divinity: Time.]

[False God Weapon: Lar (Spirit)]

[Ninth Level Immortal Weapon: Tawa]

Yale nodded after seeing complete information on the system. He felt that previously, it was a mistake that his strongest weapons weren’t there since they were a crucial part of his strength.

"Lar, let’s got to Tenir’s Castle before the dimensional wound closes."

Although Yale could use Lar to easily open it again, he didn’t want to harm the dimension of Tenir’s Castle by attacking it again.

Thanks to the dimensional wound and Yale’s strength, allowing him to cross it safely, he just needed two seconds to reach Tenir’s Castle.

"Jika! Dan! Tenir! I am back!"

Yale shouted, but no one replied.

An instant later, he scanned the castle, which, as he expected after seeing that there wasn’t any reply, was empty.

"It seems that they left. Let’s see if there is any clue about their location."

By the state of the castle, no one had been there in months, and Yale also noticed that the flow of time was synchronized with the outside instead of the ten thousand years equal to one second like before.

"It doesn’t seem that a battle happened here. They left by their own will."

Seeing that a battle didn’t happen, Yale was relieved.

After all, although he could still use Time Leap without the curse thanks to the False Time Divinity, he was still restricted to one week, so if something happened months ago, he wouldn’t be able to prevent it.

"Master, there is a strange flow of energy there."

Lar was still in sword form and wielded by Yale, but she moved to point the direction she sensed the strange flow of energy.

"I also noticed it, but it isn’t that strange, just a portal that wasn’t there before."

However, Yale needed to admit that a new portal was probably related to the place Tenir, Jika, and Dan went.

"Oh, now it is really strange."

Once Yale reached the portal, he noticed that the passageway behind it was so normal that it was abnormal.

All of Tenir’s passageways were filled with traps and made it difficult to cross, but that was a standard passageway that even a mortal would cross due to how stable it was.

"Lar, let’s cross it. I know that you think that it would be faster cutting the dimension as before, but let’s try to avoid doing that if there is another way, alright?"

Lar felt a bit ashamed that her master read her mind so well, but she just obeyed Yale and together entered into the passageway.
