Yale's first instinct was to evade that attack at any cost, but he didn't move at all because he was conscious of his position.

Behind him was the passageway, and in that place, there were three persons too important for him.

Yale knew that if he avoided the attack, they would be hit, and he felt that the barriers protecting them wouldn't be able to withstand that attack.

Of course, if Yale evaded, sacrificing those three, the Supreme God would be doomed for having broken the rules, but the Supreme God was betting that Yale wouldn't sacrifice them.

At that moment, the Supreme God was desperate and made such a bold move that could be potentially self-destructive.

Although Yale had time to thought and react, the time that passed since the trigger was pressed and the attack was just in front of Yale was less than a second.

Yale was ready to create a barrier of Universe Qi to stop the attack when two lights flew out him and collided with the Existence Eraser beam.

Those were the two pieces of the universe creator's legacy resting inside of Yale. One was his own piece while the other was the one that Gerken lost.

The universe creator had experienced the Existence Eraser before, so he had taken measures in the case that it happened again.

Those pieces of legacy were programmed to immediately attack any Existence Eraser beam.

Two pieces of the legacy weren't enough to delay the Existence Eraser for more than a second. However, three rays of light came from other points of the universe and joined the other two, increasing the power of the legacy by a hundredfold.

At that moment, the legacy of the universe creator was complete.

Lina, Shiba, and Aknarel lost their pieces of legacy after finishing their battles, and they started to rush towards Yale because Yale was facing the Supreme God and the legacies did what was better for the universe, which was going to help Yale.

The three pieces of legacy reached Yale's place at the moment when the other two had already blocked the Existence Eraser

The legacy of the universe creator was incredibly useful to weaken the Existence Eraser beam.

However, being able to weaken it and being able to destroy it were two different concepts, in the end in less than two minutes, the legacy was doomed to disappear.

"Go out of that place! Now!"

Yale sent a message to Wyba's group because if they managed to leave, he would be able to evade the attack with the time given by the legacy.

"Big bro, I am sorry, we can't move at all..."

Wyba was the only one who could send a message back to Yale, but she was still unable to move. The other two couldn't even send a message to Yale.

Of course, due to the effects of the ascension, others couldn't move them either.

"Shit, that bastard planned it too well."

Yale was cursing the Supreme God for implicating Wyba's group in the battle, but there was nothing he could do at that moment to evade the attack without harming the three behind him.

If Yale were heartless and sacrificed them, he would be able to win the battle and the war, but Yale couldn't sacrifice them for the universe's sake. Evading that attack would make him feel like if he had erased their existences himself, and he didn't want to live with that burden.

That was selfish because it was just a minor matter compared to the importance of the war between universes, but that point was something in which Yale would remain stubborn.

He wouldn't sacrifice his family and friends for the sake of winning a war. Yale would rather sacrifice himself for them than let them die just to save himself.

As Yale expected, the legacy disintegrated and disappeared in less than two minutes, but another barrier appeared before Yale cast his own.

"Today is the day that I will repay my debt."

Those words came from the person who cast the barrier. That person was standing in front of Yale, the Mysterious Expert.

Yale was speechless, but the Mysterious Expert continued to talk.

"Until now, I have messed a lot with your fate. Although it was for the sake of the universe and also for your own sake in the long term, I have made you suffer a lot. I don't expect you to forgive me, but I also doubt that you will kill me, so it is better if my life serves to save you today."

In fact, Yale didn't blame the Mysterious Expert at all, but the Mysterious Expert always felt guilty for its actions, so it accepted Alter Yale's plan, which included the Mysterious Expert's sacrifice.

Alter Yale had predicted that the Supreme God would use Existence Eraser from the start.

"Aren't you just an incarnation?"

Yale could sense that the Mysterious Expert was just an incarnation, so he didn't believe that the Mysterious Expert would really disappear even if it were hit.

"I am just an incarnation, but don't underestimate Existence Eraser. This has the power to erase your existence even across clones or incarnations. Anyway, that doesn't matter at all."

Yale didn't understand the last words of the Mysterious Expert, but since it continued to speak, Yale forgot about them quickly.

"Existence Eraser is something that only those who reached godship should be able to use, and it is only able to affect those who haven't reached it. That object is just emulating it. Moreover, its power could barely erase the existence of a sixth level immortal, so as long as a sixth level immortal resists a bit, the existence wouldn't be completely erased."

If the Existence Eraser used by the Supreme God were the real one, Yale would have been already erased without any chance of resist, but that item was just an imitation.

"Don't worry, your great grandfather was just a step behind becoming a sixth level immortal and blocked the attack without decent preparations, but a bit of his existence still managed to survive. You are far stronger than him, and the power of the Existence Eraser has already been weakened by the legacy, and now I am weakening it more. If you go all out after I disappear, you should be able to resist it."

The Mysterious Expert had heard a lot about the Existence Eraser from Alter Yale, so it was quite knowledgeable about that topic.

After all, Alter Yale could use Existence Eraser, and his Existence Eraser was the real one, not a mere imitation.

However, due to how his power was lowered, he couldn't use it freely. It wasn't a problem against the bandits in Yale's planet, but using it against a sixth level immortal while his power had been lowered to fifth level immortal was impossible.

Reaching godship wasn't like other breakthroughs because it provoked a huge change in the person's existence. After that point, even if the power of that person were to be lowered, the talent, power, and abilities wouldn't be the same as others at the same level.

Usually, that was useful for those in need to reincarnate because they were able to recover their previous power quickly and while training, they were also more powerful than others, but Alter Yale's case of lowered power due to time travel also followed the same principles except that Alter Yale couldn't train.

"Then, shouldn't you also survive?"

Yale felt that since the Existence Eraser had been already weakened once, the Mysterious Expert should be able to resist with a bit of its existence. After all, Yale's great grandfather was at a lower level and faced it directly, but a bit of his existence survived.

"I am just an incarnation, there is no way that I can survive after receiving this attack. Don't worry about me, I choose this end for my life. Don't act until I disappeared."

Yale couldn't understand properly the reasons behind the Mysterious Expert's words.

However, he knew that surviving with just a bit of existence wasn't too different from being dead, so he considered that the Mysterious Expert was speaking about that.

After all, in practical effect, being completely erased or almost completely erased only made difference in that some people can remember the almost erased person and that there was a chance for recovering, but seeing how his great grandfather hadn't recovered after so much time, Yale didn't feel too confident about the chances of recovering.

"Understood. If that is your will, I will respect it."

Yale decided to just follow the Mysterious Expert's instructions because he understood that once someone was determined to sacrifice for someone else, it was too difficult to change that person's thoughts and trying to do it would be too disrespectful.

Thus, Yale could only accept the Mysterious Expert's determination.

"However, I want to learn who you are first. I can accept your sacrifice since you are determined, but at least I want to know who is sacrificing for my sake."

The identity of the Mysterious Expert was too ambiguous, so Yale didn't know anything about it except the fact that was a sixth level immortal and a Timeless Sovereign who always appeared as incarnations.

"Well, at this point, there is no reason to hide my identity anymore. Anyway, the universe creator always knew about it and probably Alter Yale has already deduced it after interacting so much with me."

With that thought, the Mysterious Expert was ready to reveal its identity to Yale.
