Last Wish System

Everyone froze on the spot after seeing Yale's transformation and hearing his words.

If Yale had only spoken, they would have thought that he was bragging as they thought that there was no way to believe that he could do anything to the fearsome Death God, but after seeing Yale levitating with silver hair and golden eyes, they instantly believed that Yale was someone of unfathomable power.

Moreover, although they didn't understand too much about auras, they could feel that the aura emanating from Yale seemed to be the opposite to the aura they heard that the Death God emanated.

In an instant, all the vegetation of the area started to flourish creating a wonderful view. For common folk, that was obviously the opposite to the wastelands left by the Death God, so they believed that Yale and the Death God were enemies due to their opposite natures and that Yale finished the Death God on the Death mountain before meeting with them.

Life and Death were just the two sides of the same coin and Yale could use both of them, it wasn't like if Life and Death were enemies, it was the opposite, both complemented each other.

However, that kind of knowledge was something that common people couldn't understand, so they never thought that Yale could also create a death aura capable of creating wastelands.

Yale could have killed those bandits from the first moment, and they wouldn't have even appeared in front of them; doing that wasn't difficult for Yale at all.

However, Yale was planning to use those bandits, and after they threatened with enslaving him, Yale decided to harden the punishment he had thought in his mind.

Without the Celestial Knowledge, Yale couldn't control the Life Essence perfectly, and since he wanted to give the impression of being as strong as the Death God, he decided to use it.

Moreover, the change of hair and eyes was perfect to increase the impact everyone felt after showing his power.

The Death God was the artificial intelligence of the Last Wish System that had already disappeared as its use ended, but the Death God had been far too cruel and over exceeded Yale's intentions of revenge.

Yale didn't want to be associated with such acts, so he decided to appear as someone opposed to the Death God.

However, Yale wasn't planning to use the Life Law to deal with those bandits; he was just using the Life Essence for showing.

"We... we are sorry... We were blind. Please forgive us."

The bandit leader needed all his strength to speak those words while internally regretted having offended such a fearsome person. Although Yale's aura wasn't a death aura like that of the Death God, for someone capable of creating that aura, killing them wouldn't be a challenge at all.

"You weren't planning to forgive anyone on this group. You would have killed the elderly ones and sold the rest as slaves. Do you think that you have the right to ask for mercy?"

Yale's voice was calm but powerful giving a feeling that the one speaking was a superior being.

The bandits were unable to reply because they knew that they would have never heard their preys no matter how much they cried or asked for mercy.

"However, don't worry. I won't kill you all, although maybe later you will wish that I would have killed you."

Despite how most people though, sometimes death wasn't the worst outcome. After all, after a normal death, there was still reincarnation, and even a complete death could avoid them for suffering a living hell, those in the Purgatory World were perfect examples of that case.

Killing an enemy would serve as a way of venting the rage, but if Yale just destroyed them in body and soul, they wouldn't truly suffer as they would disappear in an instant.

On the other hand, on most situations as long there was life there was hope, so unless one stumbled in a place like the Purgatory World, as long one could endure the hardships, it would be better than dying, but that only applied to people with strong minds.

"You all are already helpless, you deviated from the correct way and started to play with the lives of the others like if they were objects. You even waited to the moment after the World Protection disappeared when a kid is at the most vulnerable moment and had no way to protect against you. Thus, you must be punished for acting like that."

Yale still remembered how that greedy elder tried to get rid of him soon after he became ten. Even those with the highest potential wouldn't have any way to defend at that moment.

Of course, for kids of remote areas, in front of those bandits, they would still be powerless even after becoming adults, so it wasn't like the bandits wanted to exploit that weakness moment, they just wanted to avoid the World's Protection.

However, that kind of action was something that remembered Yale about that moment of his past, which made him wish for them to suffer.

Yale waved his hand, and the bandits started to cry in pain as their bodies started to shrink.

The clothes fell from their bodies as they turned too big from them, but their bodies didn't stop shrinking at all until their outward appearance was that of three-year-old kids.

The bandits were all humans and half-dwarves, which weren't too different as adults, but the children were even harder to differentiate, so it was difficult to say who was human and who was half-dwarf at that moment.

Yale could have made the shrinking process to be without any pain, but he felt that they deserved it, so he increased the pain to the point of being unbearable, which made them continue crying even after the shrinking process ended.

The members of Yale's group were dumbfounded at what happened in front of their eyes. They had heard of people turning older after nearing the Death Mountain, but they never thought that the opposite was also possible.

Moreover, when they saw the tattoos that appeared in the forehead of all the bandits, the same thought appeared in everyone's mind as if it was something obvious.

"They don't have any World's Protection."

The bandits were even more scared as they felt the same while looking to each other. Moreover, they had lost all their previous power, so they were powerless kids without any kind of protection.

"With that mark, everyone would know that you don't have any World Protection, while you can't train either until your bodies turning ten. You are lucky that I have also reset your lifeforce and real age, so you will be able to reach the Novice Rank again after becoming ten and training once again."

As a Timeless Sovereign, Yale's control over the time was superior to even an Essence God who mastered the Time Essence, so it was easy for Yale to do something like that with the Time Essence to some mortals.

Technically speaking, the World's Protection protects the kids at the same time that prevents them from training, so if the World's Protection was lacking, the blocking to train should have also been removed.

However, the one who punished those bandits was Yale, who have authority in the world to change the laws like that. It wouldn't be difficult for him to remove the protection and restrictions of the World's Protection.

Initially, that protection was set by Yale's father in all the intelligent species of the world and those who might end appearing, but those that weren't expected to appear like the half-beasts lacked the World's Protection and the restriction.

In the eastern continent there were only, humans, beasts, and half-beasts, so the common knowledge was that only humans have it, but in the western continent, there were a lot of different species.

"It seems that my power had been forgotten after more than thirty thousand years. The people in the western continent needs a reminder."

The minds of everyone stopped working after hearing that Yale lived more than thirty thousand years, and by his words, they could only think of one person, the ruler of the eastern continent.

That person was a legend for most people, and they didn't even believe that it was real. Only those who lived extremely long lives knew that it was a real story.

"Now, I will send you randomly for all the western continent. If you die or live will be left to you but let me tell you that if you kill yourselves, you will go to the Purgatory World."

The information about the Purgatory World appeared in the mind of the bandits and they hatred Yale for being ruthless as that was far worse than death.

However, when they felt hatred, they felt a lot of pain inside themselves.

"Each time you felt anger or hatred your souls will suffer. This is your last chance, reform yourselves and live a different life."

Spatial ripples surrounded all the bandits.

"Be sure to tell everyone that Yale, the true ruler of this world, has returned."

The bandits disappeared after Yale finished his words, and Yale stopped bothering about them as they were just a method to spread his name and make that his friend knew about his position.

However, at that moment, Yale never expected that those bandits would all succeed in reforming themselves and would create a new religion to worship Yale; a religion that would spread for all the continent.
