487 Eternal Curse (1/2)

”That was indeed fated to happen in some timeline, but don't get confident, this just means that right now you are on the correct path, but you have been on the correct path before ending up in failed a lot of times. I bet that you don't even remember how many.”

Yale's shadow spoke calmly.

”I know, I know. This is just a good sign. I don't know how many millions of times I failed, and that damned curse makes me come back to a point where it was still possible to avoid failure but is solving one thing and facing several new ones, this doesn't seem to have an end...”

The universe creator seemed quite lonely and tired while speaking about that topic. He was just a shadow, but the original one would act exactly in the same way. However, Yale's shadow was the only one who could see him in that state.

”You were the one who created this curse. Although it was by accident, it was your will which provoked the curse, so you shouldn't be complaining about it now.”

The matter about that curse was something that had accompanied the universe creator from his previous universe, but at that time, the curse was something that just affected him. However, after creating a universe, the universe was born with that same curse.

”You don't need to tell me that. I am planning to continue trying even if I need all the eternity. Anyway, it isn't like if I can break the curse. Keeping repeating the failures without even trying is worse than trying to solve them. Moreover, this universe tries to solve the problems by itself due to that curse, so I must make use of that advantage.”

Although that was a curse, it saved the universe creator and the universe itself countless times.

That curse was created at the same time that the Timeless Border when the person who would become the universe creator managed to travel in time for the first time. Although it was a failure and just managed to send his mind, he did something that shouldn't be done, and less with the will he had at that moment about saving his world.

An abandoned universe was doomed, and no one in the multiverse should be able to change that. However, the process of destruction of that universe was reversed for a bit due to that time travel.

He defied everything that day. He wasn't even an immortal, but he still managed to mess with the time and prevent the end of his world.

That heaven-defying will at the moment he managed to succeed with the time travel became a curse that had been following him since that instant.

Anything that made his plan fail would make the time to rewind to a point where failure could be avoided.

Without that curse, he wouldn't have succeeded in creating a new universe. That curse had been his trump card to succeed in his plans, but it also became the source of his nightmares.

When a situation repeated for millions of times ending with failure each time, it didn't seem like having another chance. It was more like a torture. Of course, killing himself wouldn't work to stop that endless loop.

He hadn't suffered that much before creating the universe, but the conflict with that other universe had been the source of his tiredness.

The universe would win the war in some timeline, that was something that universe creator knew because the shadow of Yale at his side was from a Yale who saw the end of the war without losing.

That shadow was the first person he met the second time he entered in the Timeless Border, but at that time, the shadow hadn't told him about most matters.

In fact, the shadow almost didn't speak unless the information wasn't something that could be said.

The fact that the Timeless Border could have shadows from the future was an effect of the curse. Although spaces similar to the Timeless Border existed in other universes, there were only shadows of the past.

Since that curse also affected the universe, the fate of the people changed to help the universe to succeed and not even the curse sent by the other universe could work properly and its prowess was severely diminished.

Moreover, there were people who weren't the universe creator and were deeply affected by the curse appeared, the Timeless Sovereigns.

Saving the universe that time wasn't something that the universe creator could do alone, which provoked that other Timeless Sovereigns appeared and they had used their power to change the time.

In fact, doing something like that in that universe was far easier than in any other universe because the curse was assisting them and even with that, it was still extremely difficult to succeed.
