While Yale decided the name of his new Divinity, Lina opened her eyes.

"What happened?"

Her memories were fuzzy. Although Time Rewind allowed conserving memories, those returning from death could have some problems remembering their deaths.

Across all the universe, several people were starting to regain consciousness. It was just a matter of time before everyone woke up.

"Ange, Aiwai, wake up, why are you sleeping here?"

Lina couldn't remember what herself was doing there, but she was more worried by the state of Ange and Aiwai that were still unconscious.

Of course, there were also a lot of unconscious servants there, but her daughter and sister-in-law were more important than them.

"Don't worry, they will wake up soon. Just wait there until I dealt with the garbage."

At that moment, Lina felt that she had heard Yale's voice speaking those words, but she knew that Yale wasn't there and that the universe was isolated, so it shouldn't be possible.

"Isolated, impossible to enter or leave... An unexpected invasion..."

Lina started to remember some fragments of what happened.

"That is right. Somehow, we were invaded before our isolation period ended. They were too strong, and we were unable to fight back... My head hurts when I try to remember it, but it wasn't a slow death..."

Lina was tortured because she was Yale's wife, and the same happened to Aiwai and Ange. Fortunately, she couldn't remember that torture very well.

"We were dead, but now we are alive. The others are unconscious, but there is no doubt that they are alive. What happened? That voice, maybe it wasn't my imagination. My husband returned and saved us all?"

Although she was still confused, she managed to have a grasp of the situation.

She knew very well Yale's personality, and she didn't doubt that he would do the impossible to save his family and punish those who harmed it.

Lina could guess that the garbage Yale spoke of was just a way to talk about those who invaded the universe.

Although she wanted to see other people that weren't there, like her own sister, Lina didn't have enough strength to move too much from her place at that moment, and she didn't want to leave Ange and Aiwai alone while they were unconscious, so she chose to remain there as Yale said.

Although Yale was focused on punishing the garbage in front of him, he paid attention to everyone related to him, but the only one awake was Lina at that moment. Obviously, the message wasn't Lina's imagination, Yale was the one who sent it.

"Finally, all of you are here. You should know where you are and why, so let's stop the useless chitchat. If you don't know, bad luck, just blame your lack of brain. Now you will face your punishment before your execution."

The invaders wanted to reply, but they were unable to do it. They couldn't move at all, and even their divine sense was unusable.

Most of them could guess where they were, and why, but they didn't understand what they wanted to know the most, how.

They couldn't believe that there was someone capable of opening such a large quantity of passageways and stole back the energy they had stolen first, provoking that a lot of them fell back a level.

"First, observe what happens with your dear universes."

Yale pointed his hand open at the passageways and then closed it.

An instant later, all the universes collided with each other, but instead of being destroyed, they were merging.

Yale could feel that destroying those universes would be far too simple with the True Dimensional Divinity, but that would be too merciful.

After the universes merged, the size of the resulting universe was the same as a single universe, not the sum of them all.

"Now, the calamity has begun for them. Nature has been disrupted, and the ownerships merged. Since the person that the resulting universe recognizes as an owner doesn't exist, from now on, it is officially an abandoned universe. They will be confused enough with the effects of the merging to realize it, but when they notice it, they would just feel more despair. My friend here is the only one who can save an abandoned universe, and he hates them as much as I hate them."

Of course, it wasn't determined that no one else could provoke a miracle like Alrein did it, but Yale just wanted to torment those hearing his words.

Moreover, due to the effects provoked by the merge of the universe, all the people living there were already disturbed enough to think about anything else.

"I know that you all are worried about them, so I will let you feel everything they are feeling right now."

The invaders started to see what happened in the merged universe, from all points of view simultaneously, which was enough to make some of them lose their sense of self.

[Congratulations on obtaining Great Curse Divinity.]

Yale had already obtained the Curse Divinity while punishing universes due to how much he used curses, and at that moment, he finally managed to obtain the Great Curse Divinity.

What the invaders were experiencing was a curse that linked their senses to those of the living being of that universe. Moreover, Yale pushed the time flow of both universes to different extremes to let them see countless years in a short span of time.

What the invaders saw was hell itself. The merging of the universe also merged locations, which made some that some people merged with part of the environment and were unable to separate form it anymore.

Others merged with people they didn't know from another universe, creating ugly monsters that weren't suitable to live for long.

Some found that have several souls in a single body, provoking that they all lost their sanity.

The lucky ones just suffered some deformations or managed to stay like they were, but those were despised by others due to the jealousy and were the first to die in the hands of the others.

Strictly speaking, the effects of the merging were random since Yale didn't manipulate them. That was just the standard to happen when thousands of universes merged into one with just the standard size.

Moreover, since it was an abandoned universe, the strongest ones who were able to endure the situation were the first ones to die, killed by the universe itself.

It was just a few minutes in Alrein's Universe, but a lot of years passed on the merged universe until all conscious living beings died.

However, the curse continued by letting the invaders experience the rest of the living beings.

When the merged universe as destroyed into nothingness, almost all the invaders had their souls broken beyond repair and died.

Only one managed to survive, the member of the Council of Gods who Alrein had been facing before.

"Yale, do as I say, and this will be fun."

Yale had been thinking what to do with the survivor, but when he heard Alrein, he decided to follow his instructions since it seemed interesting.

The dimensional restriction that Yale placed on all the invaders disappeared, which seemed to be because Yale thought that everything ended and not because of a plan.

"Fool, you will regret it!"

The only survivor shouted and advanced to True God. He had learned about the existence of that level, but that was all. He didn't know the reason why others keep it a secret. He just believed that it was to prevent that others could advance to that level.

He had been near to the breakthrough before, but after enduring the torment of Yale's curse, he was finally ready to advance.

The energy emanating from his body was enormous, and he thought that once his energy stabilized, he would win without any doubt.

"Lar, Tawa. Merged sword form."

At Yale's order, Lar and Tawa appeared and merged into a huge sword.

Yale had discovered that they could do it thanks to Tawa's ability to transform into any weapon, and the result was that the resulting weapon was far stronger than the sum of the two of them.

The downsides were the result could only be a sword and that although one edge was perfectly sharp, the other was quite deformed due to the effects of the merging.

At that moment, Yale wanted to use the True Dimensional Divinity into a sword, but he knew that unless it was that merged form, there was no way that Lar or Tawa could endure it.

Even the merged form couldn't endure it for too long, but Yale just needed a single hit.

The next instant, Yale had cut the only survivor in two, but a Great God wouldn't die just for that since the attack didn't destroy his soul.

The attack he used could disregard all the defenses and cut the opponent, but it couldn't heavily damage the soul. To add that capability, the weapon would need to be stronger.

"This isn't enough to..."

While the survivor spoke with divine sense after being cut in two, he suddenly stopped. He was dead.

"A True God can't die even once. Just a normal death it a permanent death. Soul and body are one, a wholesome existence. Not even manipulating the time can resurrect a dead True God."

Yale was the only one who heard Alrein's explanation.

That was the biggest weakness of a True God. A moment of carelessness would become fatal.

For a True God, being overconfident could mean death.
