The Master states "The Valeyard, Doctor, is your ''penultimate re[[incarnation]]''... Somewhere between your [[The End of Time (TV story)|twelfth]] and [[The Time of the Doctor|thirteenth]] ''[[regeneration]]''". In the televised show the line is "The Valeyard is an amalgamation of the darker sides of your nature, somewhere between your [[Eleventh Doctor|twelfth]] and [[Twelfth Doctor|final]] ''incarnation''." Since in the novel, the Valeyard is an actual Doctor incarnation (like the [[Sixth Doctor]]), and not a 'dark side' of the Doctor (like the [[Dream Lord]] or the actual Valeyard), it is unclear as to what he could possibly gain from killing the Doctor and taking all his regenerations.
