《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.

Jalan Suram : The 100 Fire Holders
"Why us?" Still staring at the unusually stationary fire of the candle he was holding, Agung voiced the questions in our mind.

Saga of Fallen Kings, Book I: The Revenant Prince
The Philosopher King once conquered the known world, his power seemingly unlimited and his armies inexhaustible. Since that time his might has slowly unravelled, and his once steadfast empire has begun to crack, splinter and devour itself. In the isolated Southern Realms, where even magic has abandoned them, none of that matters. For years it has been filled with warring kingdoms, where as many kings die to the blade as to old age, and constant battles tear apart the land. When one such kingdom invades its old enemy, the King and his heir, Prince Caden, are killed. Unable to accept the loss of his family Prince Arian is broken, and when the Philosopher King stretches out his hand in aid, Arian takes it without a second thought. When Caden wakes from death, he's different. His eyes and soul have changed, and he finds a world filled with friends who no longer trust he's even human. Suddenly thrust onto the throne and indebted to the Philosopher King, Caden has no choice but to keep going - he must finish what his father started, and try to survive the machinations of the figure who now owns his fealty. Meanwhile something beyond death stirs for him, desiring nothing more than to drag him back into its embrace. Author's Note: This story used to be known as "A King of his Own", but after some consideration I have decided to rebrand it. The first reason is that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the title. The second is that I have come increasingly to view this story as a 'saga' containing multiple 'books' rather than one long, continuous publication, and as I did so I realized that as I was quickly getting to a point in the story where I wanted the first 'book' to end. This doesn't mean I'm going back on the things I said below - they're just going to continue in the next book of the Saga of Fallen Kings. :) Also, be aware that I do plan to edit this at some point. Though I take care to squash out any obvious errors when I proof-read, and do simple edits in that process, at some point I'm almost certainly going to do large edits that might significantly change parts of the story. Old author's notes: This started as a completely random writing session. There was no purpose or direction, but as I kept typing an entire world began to form in my mind that I knew I had to write about. My plan is to turn this story into a veritable medieval fantasy epic that spans an entire world, follows multiple character and storylines, and takes place over many years. The story has quite a grounded, almost 'realistic' start, but many more fantastical elements will be introduced, expanded upon and become central to the narrative. I have ideas for this story that make me genuinely excited and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy writing it, and join me on what will hopefully become a truly massive fantasy epic. If you do enjoy this story please consider following, rating and leaving a review. I'm also happy to answer any questions or comments you have.

RELINQUISH
Sometimes I wonder why the world isn't decorated with something as cool as magic... Why can't we manipulate the laws of the world? Why does the story about God sound too fake to be believed? Why the hope for this world to be saved from the bottom of everyone's heart can never be fulfilled... Then I landed on each conclusion from each of those questions... That humans are the most cunning, meanest and stupidest creatures who are most desperately expected to not have any power including magic itself. That it is not God that we should believe in, because they themselves do not believe in how disgusting human nature really is. That everyone's hope is not for the world to be saved, but for the world to be destroyed in order to save their own selves. That the world from the beginning, was not meant to be saved... (I frequently revise and update the use of sentences in the previous chapters without disturbing the original storyline. so sometimes it takes me a little longer to publish a new chapter.) I have the same novel posted on another website (Webnovel.com , creativenovels.com) with the same name (RELINQUISH)
