459 Terugs Hidden Mission (1/2)

Although it had been just an instant in the real world, in Terug's perception hadn't been just an instant.

”Where I am?”

Terug was immediately disoriented as he found himself in a different place.

”This is the Timeless Border. Well, more exactly a subspace of the Timeless Border. Even for me, it isn't that easy to pull someone to the real Timeless Border.”

Terug turned his head towards the voice he heard because he was sure that it was Yale's voice.

Just as he expected, Yale was also there with him.

”Timeless Border? I have been there once, but I don't remember too much about it.”

Yale wasn't shocked by those words because one of the reasons for him being able to pull Terug to that subspace of the Timeless Border was that Terug had been in the Timeless Border before.

”I think that you should have already guessed it in this situation. I am Timeless Sovereign.”

That subspace was only useful to speak with others without wasting time in the real world, so that was the first time that Yale used it.

The good part about it was that it didn't have any side effect, and the bad one that unless the other party was at least a World God the chances of succeeding were low. Of course, the other party shouldn't resist, or it would fail.

Yale wasn't able to fully understand the reasons, but it seemed to be for a change in the minds of those who had become World Gods that allowed them to enter under the invitation of a Timeless Sovereign.

Terug didn't remember anything about Timeless Sovereigns from his time on the Timeless Border, but he gathered information about it and at least knew that a Timeless Sovereign was an unmatchable existence in the Timeless Border.

”Then, do you say that it is because of this that you can send incarnations to the Life and Death Trials?”

Terug was already inclined to believe Yale at that moment. After all, as far as he knew only the creator of their universe was a Timeless Sovereign, so just that fact that Yale reached the same level was enough to give credibility to his words.

After all, the information about the Mysterious Expert was unknown even for Terug, but even if he knew about it, his thoughts wouldn't change.

”Indeed. The Timeless Border also affect those lower universes that one visit in the Life and Death Trials. In my first visit here, I even met the shadow of someone from my Life and Death Trials.”

In fact, Yale wasn't the only one who met people of lower universes from the Life and Death Trials in the Timeless Border, but the memories of the Timeless Border were usually blurry, so no one managed to remember about it.

”Alright, I believe you.”

Although Yale hadn't shown any proof of the existence of those lower universes from the Life and Death Trials, Terug knew that with Yale's status there was no reason to lie about a trivial matter.

”Let's return.”

Yale had already decided to bring Terug with him in his journey because someone experienced and with vas knowledge like Terug would be a great aid in their trip and Terug himself seemed to be trying to get closer to them.

Moreover, Yale felt that Terug didn't have a bad personality. He was someone who cared about benefits but wasn't blinded by them and valued friendship.

Since Yale believed that Terug longed to work for someone with great power, he decided to show his status in the case that Terug still had any doubts about following him.

After Yale spoke, both of them disappeared from the subspace, but after Terug opened his eyes, he noticed that he hadn't returned to the real world yet.

”Yale, what happened?”

Terug thought that something went wrong while returned, so he looked towards Yale, but the person in front of him despite looking like Yale gave a different aura and even the clothes were different.

”You aren't Yale... Who are you?”

Terug couldn't see anyone else, so he was sure that the person who prevented him from returning to the real world was the one in front of him.

”Who am I? You can say that I am Yale, but not the Yale you know. I am from a different time, a time that doesn't exist anymore. I traveled through the time to your era to change my past, your future. You can call me Alter Yale.”

Terug heard rumors of how a Timeless Sovereign could alter the time, but he never expected that it was possible to travel through time.

”Then, Alter Yale, do you need something from me?”
