《Last Wish System 》Chapter 401: A New and Cruel Trump Card
Advertisement
Yale looked at his father with doubts in his face as he didn't feel that failing to see a mere marriage was enough to kill someone, but the fear in his father's voice seemed real.
"Don't doubt about my words! Your mother is very lovely, but she is fearsome when she is angry. Moreover, given her level, I can't do anything to stop her. Since she can't come to see you right now, she entrusted me taking care of you without affecting your fate, and your mother was eager to see you marry someone, so I am sure that if you marry without me being present, she will be angry. In fact, I am already fearing how will she react when she learns that you needed to reincarnate and that I was unable to help you because I was trapped..."
Besides that, Yale's father feared the most the fact that Yale's past life had children with three different women without marrying them and failing to pass his soul powers properly.
He knew that there was no way that his wife would blame Yale for that since it was Yale's last resort for surviving, so the blame would be for him as he failed to aid Yale's past life as a father.
Thus, he was hoping that Yale married someone quickly after he was released and that hopefully, that would happen before Yale's mother returned, as in that way it would be possible camouflage the disaster a bit.
Yale's father truly didn't mind who would be Yale's partner. He had a favorable impression of Lina because she was the daughter of his good friend, and he would be happy if she turned his daughter-in-law, but in the end, he wouldn't arrange a political marriage between them or something like that.
Political marriages were usually between those with powerful inherited soul powers as that would strengthen the whole faction, but Yale's father always disliked them, and he was the last member of his faction when he married Yale's mother, so he didn't have any seniors who could force the situation.
As for the family of Yale's mother, the battle God was the one with the highest authority, and he didn't mind about such topics as long as both parties loved each other.
If it wasn't because that way of thought, it would have been difficult for Yale's father marrying Yale's mother because of the quality of their soul powers to inherit was far too different, and Yale's father was a loner who had lost everything.

Yale's father remembered the only true members of the faction he belonged at that moment which were his wife, the Battle God, the Battle God's wife, Yale, and himself. All their disciples also count as members, but since they were never forced to swear loyalty to the faction, they weren't considered true members.
They were loyal only to their masters, but they didn't have any obligations with the faction itself like happened in other factions.
Anyway, despite their true number and the fact that few people knew about them, they were quite strong.
The Battle God was a monster capable of beating Origin Gods with his own Path.
Although Yale's father had never seen the Battle God's wife battle, he knew that she was also quite fearsome.
Yale's father himself was an Origin God, and his wife had even surpassed that level being at the pinnacle of the universe like the one who created it.
As for Yale's himself, his father had just discovered that was a Timeless Sovereign, which despite not being especially powerful in the real world, someone capable of messing fates even after being killed wasn't someone you would like as an opponent.
Yale's father was quite happy with the power of the faction after he suffered due to the destruction of the faction in which he was born, but despite that, his wife was still the strongest of the faction, and he didn't dare to oppose her.
Her parents might dare to do that as she was always very obedient as a daughter, but she had quite a strong personality when she was in front of her husband, and they didn't have the same opinion about something.
"Alright, I know how powerful my mother is, so I won't marry someone before freeing you. Anyway, it isn't like if I have a girlfriend or a girl I love. Lina is just my close friend, and we don't have any romantic interest."
Yale decided to stop joking about the matter since he believed that someone at the same level as the universe creator wasn't someone you want to see angry, even though the anger would go to his father and not to himself.
Lina had a shocked face since she deduced that Yale's mother was someone who surpassed the level of an Origin God, but she didn't dare to ask questions about it.
However, she didn't know how to feel when she heard Yale saying that they were just close friends as that was the first time Yale didn't ally with his father to tease her and finally told the truth.

She felt that the outcome was the correct one, but she didn't know why she felt a bit disappointed when she had just heard what she felt that she wanted to hear from the start.
"Well, it is a pity that I won't have the cute Lina as my daughter-in-law. Anyway, you must wait until I am freed, so there no reason to hasten to look for someone."
Yale's father felt that they were a good match and also seemed to have a good relationship, but he wasn't planning to force them.
"I know. If there isn't anything else to say, we shall leave now. I still need to find my friends before starting to search for my grandfather."
Yale felt that he still had a lot of work ahead before being able to free his father, but the first step was solving the problems left in the world he was born. Only after that, he would be able to leave without worries.
"I will be quite lonely, but you are right. You shouldn't waste more time here. I will seal this incarnation again, so come whenever you needed to speak with me but remember that this incarnation isn't for fighting. If you feel in a situation when you are in real risk, don't doubt about blown off this world, it isn't as valuable as your life."
Yale's father put quite an effort creating that world, so destroying it would be painful to him, but he created it for his son, and his son's life was far more valuable.
As for the people living in the world, they were all less important than Yale's life for Yale's father, so he didn't mind if they died to save his son. That way of thought seemed cruel, but an Origin God could even create lifeforms from nothing with their True Origin Qi, so ordinary mortals didn't mean anything to him as he could create a lot of them if he wanted.
As for those related to himself like Revgen, they should be able to flee in time with their powers, and anyway, his son was still more important that his disciples, so he wouldn't feel guilty.
Since the creator of the world gave Yale permission to blow it in case of necessity, Yale would be able to do it with a mere thought, and after doing that, he would obtain the power for launch one hit at the full power of a World God.
Only one hit in the exchange of a whole world, there weren't a lot of people who would want to afford that price, but if that could save Yale's life, his father didn't mind the price.
Yale understood about the effects of blowing the world at the moment he obtained permission for doing it, and he decided to not use it unless he was truly desperate, which was quite difficult since he was a Timeless Sovereign, but more than to protect himself, he felt that he might need to protect others. After all, it was difficult to kill Yale, but while he was unable to battle, it was possible for his friends to die.
"Understood. However, I hope to never need to resort in this trump card."
Yale didn't want to harm the world where he had been born, but he knew that it was better having a trump card than regretting not having it later. After all, he knew that he couldn't alter the past again as that method was only of one use, so he couldn't risk letting those important to him die.
"Yale, I also have a world to blown off in case of danger, my father gave it to me, but I don't care about it since I never lived there. In case of necessity let me be the first in use that power."
Lina understood how Yale was feeling and decided to offer her help. Anyway, if she destroyed a world, she just needed to beg a bit her father, and he would give her another one, so as long she didn't abuse using of that trump card, and the situation was a dangerous one, there would be no problem if she destroyed a world to obtain power.
As for those who lived in those worlds, she didn't feel anything for them since she didn't know them, and anyway, her father could create more living beings.
The mindset of true experts was different from ordinary people.
