Altreus, the Starforger, is the eighth-level wizard who commands the Star Ring Federation expeditionary force on the Reincarnation Plane.¹¹³ He alone keeps his memory through the plane's time resets and designs the campaign of "variables" that overloads the time-paradox generator.¹⁷ He erases the Sphere Will, claims the Sickle-Skull husks as spoils and rewards Jie Ming with 200,000 high-level military merit.¹²¹⁴

Relationships

• Jie Ming: The key anomaly he marks and protects; awards him merit and a seventh-level Sickle-Skull body.⁸¹⁴
• Frost: His seventh-level field commander, whose two seventh-level adjutants he holds as the final variables.⁷¹²
• Sphere Will: The loop's will, which he traces, pins down and erases.¹⁰¹²
• Reincarnation Plane expeditionary force: Commander.⁴¹³

Background

An old man in a deep-blue star-patterned robe with a badge of eight silver stars in a ring; his mass projection looks about thirty in a shabby gray robe.³⁶ He visits the plane only as a near-perfect mass projection, since his true body would likely trigger a maximal paradox counterstrike; pulling the whole legion out of a loop once wounded him for three full seconds, which at his level could have threatened his life.⁷ He explains that stacked paradox attacks can cut down even an eighth-level wizard, and that death at that level is revivable but means social death.⁷

Abilities

Ability	Acquired	Notes
Wizard level	Ch4011	Eighth level; law solidification keeps his memory through time reversal.1
Memory retention	Ch4011	Alone keeps memory when the plane resets, but cannot prevent the reset.1
Mass projection	Ch4033	Near-perfect projection, visible only to Jie Ming.67
One-way mark	Ch4278	Detector and protective charm on Jie Ming; carries his messages.810
Starlit rift	Ch4299	True body descends through a rift; brushes away the existence-erasing force; tears a rift to the core timeline.910
Camp levitation	Ch43613	Lifts the entire wizard camp with a gesture and flies it to the temple.13

Timeline

• Ch401: Kills five eighth-level Sickle-Skull leaders in three seconds; keeps his memory when the plane resets.¹
• Ch404-405: Commits thirty reinforcement battalions as "variables"; the high-levels hold back to avoid triggering reversals.⁴⁵
• Ch425-427: Appears to Jie Ming as a projection, lays out the overload plan and marks him.⁶⁷⁸
• Ch429-430: Descends in person, traces the withdrawing will to its core timeline and pins the sphere's defenses.⁹¹⁰
• Ch432: Takes the sphere by brute force and lets Jie Ming finish the Mirror Corridor trial himself.¹¹
• Ch435: Erases the Sphere Will, orders the final loop, distributes the husks and forms the Time-Paradox Generator Analysis and Control Project Team.¹²
• Ch436-437: Encloses the temple in the camp, identifies the Sickle-Skull "disaster" as the afterglow of a 102,000-year-old battle, and awards Jie Ming.¹³¹⁴
