“Wise choice. It seems that you noticed that despite being weaker than you right now, my experience is far superior, and I can disregard the difference.”

In battle experience, Alter Yale was confident that no one could surpass him.

Of course, there was a limit on how much experience could affect a battle, but the difference between the Mysterious Expert and Alter Yale wasn’t big enough.

“After hearing about your past, only a fool would dare to battle against you without a proper reason. Now, speak. What are you planning to do? If your objectives don’t interfere with my plan, I have no reason to deal with you.”

The Mysterious Expert liked that Alter Yale dealt with Lor and the bandits, but given the evil deeds that Alter Yale said to have been done in his past, the Mysterious Expert was wary of him.

“As cautious as always. That isn’t bad, but you are a bit too extreme with it. Well, I am not saying it for distrusting me because distrusting me is the correct choice, but for other things you did. In my timeline I mean, that might not happen here.”

The Mysterious Expert wasn’t angry for Alter Yale’s words because if the universe was destroyed in Alter Yale’s timeline, it meant that the plan ended with failure.

“Replying to your question. I am not your enemy. Although I don’t know exactly what you are planning, it is related to the safety of this universe, and I want to end with the enemies of this universe, so our objectives can be considered aligned.”

The Mysterious Expert was relieved after hearing those words. The Mysterious Expert could notice that Alter Yale was ruthless with his enemies, but he seemed quite reliable as an ally.

“However, I will interfere with your plan.”

The Mysterious Expert was ready to battle in case Alter Yale attacked while speaking, but nothing happened.

“If you say that our interests are aligned, why are you trying to interfere with my plans?”

Alter Yale wasn’t emanating any hostility, and he didn’t seem a person who would hide hostility, so the Mysterious Expert didn’t want to be rash.

“Of course, to improve them. I know all the errors in your plan, even the seemingly unpredictable ones. I may not know your objective, but the universe ending up destroyed is clearly something that you don’t want.”

The Mysterious Expert wasn’t happy after hearing that.

“I know very well that my plan is imperfect and that the chances of succeeding are low, but there is a limit on how much I can interfere and the people I can manipulate to accomplish my plan is also limited.”

Alter Yale smiled when hearing that.

“I know, but I also know that your bet right now is still doomed to failure. I am not saying that it is your fault. To put it bluntly, it isn’t that your plan has a low chance of success, the real chance is zero no matter how much you modify it.”

Alter Yale wasn’t planning to say that the Mysterious Expert was incompetent. Their enemies had planned their schemes very well, to the point that no one noticed about some critical factors.

“If it is impossible to succeed no matter how I modify it, what is the meaning of you modifying it.”

The Mysterious Expert was the one who used to be planning behind the scenes, so it felt a bit uncomfortable with someone trying to overwrite his plans despite knowing that hearing the other party was the right choice.

Anyway, the Mysterious Expert would hear Alter Yale, but it didn’t show submission to him.

“My previous statement only applies in a situation when all the people in this war remains unaltered. People being born or dead is still within the calculations, so it is useless changing that. However, I am an anomaly on this universe, so my existence is an extra. In other words, I can change the inevitable fate of this universe.”

The Mysterious Expert was a Timeless Sovereign, so it could understand Alter Yale’s meaning.

“What do you need? I will help you as much as I can, but wouldn’t have it better if you just send your mind to your past self instead of coming here physically? With your knowledge, you would have recovered the power very quickly.”

Facing a fearsome enemy, there was no way that the Mysterious Expert would reject Alter Yale’s offer, but the Mysterious Expert knew that not only the chances of physical time travel were low, even in success there were too many problems afterward.

“From you, I just need your intelligence network. I made some modifications to the Last Wish System before coming here. Now, it has a tracking function that points to all the people I shall kill in this universe, but detailed information about them will be useful. Moreover, I will also kill anyone with chances of avenging them, so I will need to kill a lot of innocent people. Well, at least they are still innocent know, but their seemingly useless actions would end bringing doom to this universe.”

Alter Yale spend his almost eternal loneliness investigating his own past, but it wasn’t just for nostalgy. He had studied all the variables and made countless simulations before deducing the hidden problems.

Most of the culprits ended up committing those acts unconsciously, forced by the situation or because they fell into madness after losing their loved ones, but nevertheless, their actions couldn’t be tolerated.

Of course, Alter Yale knew that he would be hated by his actions since the ones he wanted to kill hadn’t acted yet in that timeline, but they had a cursed fate and unless they existences were erased the ending of the universe wouldn’t change.

That was a hidden trump card left by the other universe, and no one noticed about it until Alter Yale analyzed the past after becoming a famous criminal though uncountable universes.

Those people with cursed fates were also victims, but the easiest solution was killing them all, and Alter Yale had already his hands soaked in a lot of innocent blood.

Trying to heal their curse would be too difficult since it was a curse that propagated quickly to those related to them once the person died or the curse was in risk of disappearing.

Those curses were set mostly in people with weak backgrounds and became like a parasite that should be eradicated.

Moreover, the one who set them wasn’t weaker than the Mysterious Expert, so they weren’t easy to detect and less to deal.

“As for my reasons for physical time travel. I had no other choice. Overwriting my past self wouldn’t have changed anything. At most I would have been able to save one or two more persons and bring them with me to a higher universe, but that is all. Moreover, I hope that the Yale of this era follow a different path than me as a person and in training.”

After hesitating for a second, Alter Yale continued.

“In my past, I ended up reaching the fourth level immortal in an invented path in haste due to being pursued by powerful enemies, but I know that I hadn’t perfected that path. Although it didn’t block me from increasing my strength after that, I know its flaws better than anyone else. However, that won’t happen to the Yale of this era.”

Seeing that the Mysterious Expert didn’t seem to understand the reasons for the last sentence, Alter Yale smiled smugly.

“To see the all-knowing Mysterious Expert being in such a loss today is really gratifying. Alright, I will stop with the nonsense.”

Alter Yale noticed the murderous aura of the Mysterious Expert after those words, so he stopped.

“The moment I obtained ownership of that lower universe, my presence was detected by our enemies, and they started to send people after me. It was due to that reason that I was forced to advance in haste and also the reason for losing all my friends. If it hadn’t been because I am a Timeless Sovereign and my soul regenerated from a mere fragment, I would have also died that day. There was no way that my group could have survived against twenty experts equivalent to Origin Gods.”

That was also the second reason that left Alter Yale to fell into madness. Even those at the Storage Space were forced to exit when Alter Yale was reduced to a mere soul fragment, and the enemies didn’t spare anyone.

“However, I came to this era at the same time as the Yale of this era obtained the universe, and I have my name unsealed. Our existences are the same, so I superposed myself in their radars and Yale shouldn’t have been noticed as an owner of a universe.”

Alter Yale was pretty sure that the other universe would never imagine that two persons with the same existence existed due to a time travel.

Moreover, since they always felt that Yale had a dead twin brother who was the one with the name when noticing Alter Yale, they just thought that he didn’t die, but fled to a lower universe to hide and returned after turning into its owner.

“I will destroy their plans to end with Yale and lure them for killing them. Two for the price of one. I bet that those twenty will be the same ones. This time I will torture them until I am satisfied.”

Alter Yale started to laugh, and the Mysterious Expert just agreed in silence.
