People started to appear across the passageways that Yale opened, but once they appeared, they were unable to move anymore.
Those who appeared didn't understand their own situation.
Time Rewind was different from changing the past, so everyone remembered everything.
Feeling their power diminish while being conscious of it was far scarier than losing it without noticing.
They had absorbed the energy of Alrein's universe and from the people living there to achieve breakthroughs, but the breakthroughs were all being reverted.
At the same time, the deaths in Alrein's universe started to reverse as the time reached a point before their deaths.
The invaders were unable to move, but they could see Yale, who, despite being a God, had an aura comparable to a Great God.
While they thought about Yale's identity, the Council of Gods was very clear about who was provoking that, but that didn't diminish the shock.
"Impossible! No one can open so many passageways between universes in an instant."
They had already been impressed with Yale's reckless attempt to open the passageways while he did it slowly, but they couldn't believe that suddenly he opened so many.
They could understand that since they didn't have a huge knowledge about the Time Divinity, something like reversing the time might be possible, so although it was scary, no one dared to say that it was impossible.
Moreover, the universes connected were of different levels, which made everything even harder.
The Council of Gods discovered the trick when those with a Great Illusion Divinity looked directly at Alrein's Universe, but before they could say anything about it, Yale appeared there and started to open passageways.
"Maybe... Maybe he obtained a new Divinity?"
One of the oldest members of the Council of Gods spoke.
"A new Divinity? I doubt that a Minor Divinity can provoke something like this. Anyway, I don't know of any Divinity capable of something like this."
Those words were spoken by one of the relatively newest members, but he saw that the oldest members were taking the possibilities of a new Divinity seriously.
"It seems that the young ones don't understand what I mean with new Divinity. Should we explain a bit?"
That question was only directed to the oldest members. There were secrets that most of the young members didn't know things like the level ahead of Great God.
Although speaking about new Divinities wasn't as sensitive as speaking about that level, knowing about new Divinities could help them to deduce the existence of the other.
After all, although new Divinities weren't related to the minimum requirements to surpass Great God, the knowledge about new Divinities was what led the first Great Gods to deduce the existence of a higher level.
The oldest members thought for a bit before nodding in reply. They knew that in that situation, it would be difficult to deny what was happening because they were sure that Yale obtained a new Divinity, or the situation couldn't be explained.
However, before they could explain something, their attention went again to Alrein's Universe because two people they knew appeared.
One of them was dressed in a long white coat that matched his hair, which seemed to be permanently in the state of Celestial Knowledge due to a problem when obtaining it.
There weren't too many people they know with that trait, and there was no way they misidentify the person they had been speaking about moments ago, Great God Alrein.
However, Great God Alrein didn't remain immobile with the others, he flew directly to Yale's side. Moreover, he was completely unaffected by the Time Rewind.
"Long time without seeing you. You spared me the effort of doing the same as Alter Yale. If you hadn't done something about this situation, I would have been forced to do it. By the way, I interfered a bit to avoid that those I killed can resurrect. You can punish the rest."
When Alrein spoke, he pointed his finger as the other person that was recognized by the Council of Gods.
That person was also a member of the Council of Gods, but he was like the one Alrein had killed before, a member that loved harming other members. He was just a member because he killed another member, but he didn't consider himself a part of the Council of Gods. Instead, he wanted to destroy it.
The whole invasion plan was started by that man, he was the true mastermind with the one who Alrein already killed joining him for fun.
Alrein was staring his battle with that man when Yale started Time Rewind.
Alrein's Universe was targeted because it was Yale's birthplace. They recruited people of a lot of universe for their plan because their objective was to torture Yale and not obtaining anything from that universe.
Thus, other universes were glad to join since they wouldn't need to give most of their share to those two powerful existences that planned everything.
Although the level of Alrein's Universe was too low for letting any of their universe upgrades, it was enough to help the invaders cross personal bottlenecks.
Against an army coming from higher universes with levels that far surpassed them, Alrein's Universe was unable to fight back.
"I knew that you were alive, but it is a bit surprising that you are already a Great God."
Yale noticed that Alrein obtained the Minor Time Divinity, but that wasn't too surprising from his point of view.
"It is a long story, while you gather the garbage, I will explain it to you a bit."
The garbage obviously were the invaders. They were completely sealed with their lives at Yale's mercy. Not even that member of the Council of Gods was able to break free.
"As you should have guessed, against this army, we were absolutely powerless. They sacrificed several thousand universes for the sake of using a forbidden skill to enter this universe despite being isolated, so we weren't expecting an attack. Not like we would have been able to resist it anyway."
The invaders had even Great Gods among them while Alrein's Universe had only ninth level immortals and not a lot of them.
That couldn't even be called a war, it was a one-sided annihilation.
"Against people of this level, I wasn't sure that the curse would be able to help me. At best, I would just be trapped in another loop, but with that absolute disadvantage reversing the results would be difficult. The best I could think while pondering about different possibilities were fleeing. As long as I fled and used the moment of obtaining the Minor Time Divinity to travel to the past, a possibility could appear."
Yale was listening to the story despite being concentrated in the Time Rewind. He knew that Alrein's thoughts were correct because that kind of invasion was impossible to resist with the strength they had.
"At that moment, I tried to flee, but although the isolation couldn't block me, the invaders sealed the universe to prevent that I could leave. The only way was to become a Minor God and force my ascension, which wasn't something they could block, but I was still far from a point where I could advance at will. Really, that time, I needed a miracle to be able to succeed."
At that moment, Alrein smiled.
"It may sound weird when I say it, but I have always been quite good at provoking miracles. In the multiverse, no one else managed to escape from an abandoned universe, and I also saved people living there, not only myself."
Alrein wasn't boasting, he really had a past filled with things that everyone else would have considered impossible.
"That time, I advanced to Minor God because I obtained a new Divinity, and I don't just mean a Divinity I didn't have before, but a Divinity that no one had before. I call it Miracle Divinity, or more exactly True Miracle Divinity because it is a level higher than a Great Divinity. I investigated it, and when obtaining a new Divinity, it is directly at this level."
When Yale heard that, he knew that he had also obtained a new Divinity a moment before opening so many passageways. That huge increase of strength and the fact that the system couldn't recognize it would be easily explained in that way.
"This Divinity is completely passive. I can't activate or deactivate it. It just acts according to the situation. The most desperate the situation, even when using my full strength, the stronger the True Miracle Divinity becomes. Given the situation of having several thousand universes against me, all of them far stronger than me, made the True Miracle Divinity really miraculous, I reached Great God in an incredibly short time, and I even feel near to the next level. If it weren't because of a certain problem at that level that currently I want to avoid, I would have already advanced."
That problem was also the reason the existence of that level was being kept secret.
True God, the level ahead of Great God, had a fatal weakness that no one at that level wanted others to know.
"Interesting. It seems that I also obtained a True Divinity. I am also interested in hearing more about True Gods, but that can wait until I wipe out the garbage."
Yale had almost finished, so he wanted to focus on that matter first.
"Since I obtained a True Divinity, let's use it to punish you all. I guess that naming it True Dimensional Divinity fits it."
