《Last Wish System 》Chapter 506: The Mysterious Expert's Trap
Advertisement
While Yale, his mother, and the universe creator were busy starting a battle with their opponents, a sixth level immortal laughed after crossing the passageway connecting both universes.
"They focused so much into invading us that left this passageway unprotected. Well, I will conquer this universe first."
At first, she expected some trap in the area of the passageway, but she had managed to cross it without any problem, which surprised her.
She advanced forward until meeting with a powerful barrier.
"I see, they put a barrier on this side to prevent us from invading. I admit this barrier is tough, but with enough time, I will break it."
Although she knew that was a barrier cast by a sixth level immortal like her, without that person present to support it, the barrier wouldn't be able to endure her attacks.
The woman concentrated in order to start her attack towards the barrier. Even without someone actively reinforcing the barrier, she wouldn't believe that the barrier couldn't restore automatically if it weren't broken quick enough.
However, when she was about to attack, she was the one who was hit, which provoked that her body hit the barrier, which increased the damage dealt by the attack.
Even the woman's soul had been harmed by that sneak attack, but the damage was still at the level that she could endure at her level.
"Coward!"
The woman turned back while shouting and saw a person standing behind her.
"Who are you? Do you have any sense of honor?"
The woman was enraged after suffering such a heavy blow while being focused on the barrier. However, her thought was incredibly hypocritical because she would have done the same if she saw an enemy in that situation.
"You can call me Mysterious Expert, and as long as I protect this universe, I don't bother about if I have a sense of honor or not."
The Mysterious Expert replied with calm, but without stopping to observe the woman in the case that another chance to attack appeared.
"Mysterious Expert? What a presumptuous name."
The woman already hated the Mysterious Expert since he suffered from the first sneak attack, but the Mysterious Expert didn't mind because that woman needed to die, or the universe would be in danger.
"Presumptuous name? I think that the name of your so-called Supreme God is far more presumptuous. At least I am a sixth level immortal, so I can be considered an expert, and my identity is unknown. At least I fit the nickname. However, what about that Supreme God of yours? He isn't supreme, nor he is a God. He is just a complete fraud by using that nickname. If he were as powerful as that nickname says, our universe would have been destroyed long ago."

The woman exploded in anger after seeing that her beloved supreme God was insulted by the Mysterious Expert, but that anger didn't serve to help her hit the Mysterious Expert, it only made her movements more predictable, which made that the Mysterious Expert landed a hit on her again.
"Shit! You are really strong, but you are just an incarnation. Do you dare to follow me to the other side of the passageway?"
The woman rushed back to the passageway because she felt that the incarnation should be weakened if it was too far from the main body. Moreover, battling in her universe would let the Supreme God observe the battle, so even if she lost, it would have been useful.
The Mysterious Expert was following her, but there was a smile on its face, while it didn't seem to have any intention to really catch her.
The woman sneered as she felt that the Mysterious Expert was overconfident before all the bones of her body shattered after clashing with something.
Moreover, after that, another hit from the Mysterious Expert landed on her body, which left her in a sorry state.
"Why? Why can't I cross the passageway to go back?"
She suddenly turned her head to the Mysterious Expert.
"You! This must be your plan! Shit! You are an incarnation, but I should be able to harm your real body through it if I go all out!"
She felt deeply humiliated as she had been dancing on the Mysterious Expert's palm from the start.
In fact, she never believed that a mere incarnation could be so dangerous for her, so she had underestimated the Mysterious Expert.
However, she didn't dare to underestimate the Mysterious Expert anymore. If even an incarnation was so strong, the real body should be incredibly dangerous. In fact, she believed that the Mysterious Expert was the Death Demon because with so strong incarnations, which were also difficult to detect, killing all the envoys simultaneously shouldn't be difficult.
Although as far as she knew the Death Demon shouldn't be that strong with every incarnation or they wouldn't have needed to have a war, she thought that the incarnations on the other universe were weaker because of the distance between them and the main body.
Of course, the Mysterious Expert wasn't the Death Demon, but since the Death Demon was a figure surrounded in mystery in their universe, it wasn't difficult that different people seemed to match with the description.

The woman took out a pill and used her energy to absorb it, which immediately healed all her injuries. However, using that method to heal completely from severe injuries would have severe aftereffects, but at that moment, she wanted to kill the Mysterious Expert's main body through the incarnation.
The pill didn't just have restoring effects; it would also boost her power.
The Mysterious Expert turned serious after seeing the change of power in that woman
"It seems that you finished the warm-up. Come!"
That woman was focused on speed and stealth, so battling wasn't her main strength. That was the reason she always carried those forbidden pills in case she faced a sixth level immortal with a high battle prowess.
Alter Yale had shared information about all the sixth level immortals of that universe with the Mysterious Expert previously. Thus, the Mysterious Expert knew that until that woman ate the forbidden pill, the true battle wouldn't start.
The Mysterious Expert couldn't kill her before she had a chance to eat that forbidden pill, so at least the Mysterious Expert forced the situation without wasting too much strength.
In a sealed area where the barriers could appear where the Mysterious Expert wished, the speed and stealth of that woman weren't too useful, and in fact, worked against her since she could harm herself if she hit the invisible barriers at her top speed.
It wasn't difficult to deduce that if someone were sent to that passageway, it would be her. After all, she would be the fastest to reach the passageway and had the highest chances of infiltrating successfully.
Everything was a trap. A trap set by the Mysterious Expert to deal with that woman. Although her battle prowess was lacking compared to other sixth level immortals, there was no way that an ordinary Origin God could resist her attacks, so she was incredibly dangerous.
"You are dead! My power will drop after killing you, but it should be enough to provoke a huge mess in this universe! You better bring your true body here, or you will die before knowing."
Although it was true that she could kill the main body through an incarnation, it would exhaust too much power of the pill, and she would prefer to save it in order to provoke more damage to the universe later.
"You are dreaming. Maybe I deserve to die, but you aren't someone who can decide about my life and death."
After hearing the Mysterious Expert, the woman was enraged and rushed to attack.
Her speed was at a level that the Mysterious Expert had only seen on the universe creator, which was fearsome for almost everyone, but sadly for that woman, the Mysterious Expert didn't fear speed, and the woman understood it just before hitting the Mysterious Expert.
At that moment, her body was destroyed again after hitting a barrier, but thanks to the forbidden pill, she restored quickly and attacked again, but the result was the same.
The Mysterious Expert could control those barriers at will, and at the speed of that woman, she couldn't stop properly after they appeared, which made her crash with them.
In fact, if it weren't because the Mysterious Expert was a Timeless Sovereign and could predict the movements of that woman, even creating barriers would be useless.
"I curse you!"
The woman was enraged after she noticed that her opponent was well prepared to deal with her speed, which was deadly paired with the power obtained from the forbidden pill.
"Don't lie. You don't know how to use curses."
As the Mysterious Expert said, that woman couldn't curse at all. Controlling curses wasn't something easy, and if it backfired it could be deadly to the one who cast the curse, so unless one had talent, that person wouldn't be taught about curses, not even a sixth level immortal.
Of course, the woman was just bluffing to try to distract the Mysterious Expert, but she had failed completely. She finally understood that her opponent's strength regarding scheming was far too high compared to her small tricks.
After all, the Mysterious Expert had been altering the fates of people to guide them to the result that would benefit the universe the most. Its experience in scheming was enormous.
