Chapter 932: The Answers
Gabriel was the only one who was still hesitating. Just as he had thought that they might all return and live a life detached from suffering and pain, they had to decide on who was going to sacrifice. "Even if I never return, I will still live. You are me, did you forget?"
Karyk appeared before Gabriel, patting his head lightly. Both of them looked the same age, but Karyk was thousands of years older. For him, Gabriel was still too young to sacrifice anything. "Give Zena the happiness from my share as well. And don\'t let anyone harm my dear sister, alright?"
Gabriel was at a loss of words. It felt like a final farewell. A farewell from which there was no return. "I can-"
"No arguments with your elder brother now. Listen to me. If we both stay here, none of us wins. But if you leave, you win. And what more could I want than your win?"
Karyk placed his hand on Gabriel\'s chest. "You lost your heart because I couldn\'t come to your help. So this time, let me become your shield."
He lightly pushed Gabriel away, before turning around. "Now leave! Leave!"
Gabriel clenched his fist so tightly that his hands were bleeding. Even his immortal healing couldn\'t keep up. "I will close the portal! But you must survive! You must return, or I will never forgive you!"
Gabriel turned around. He flew towards the ocean, accompanied by Ryder and Aliac. All three of them were needed to seal the portals again. Karyk smiled. He didn\'t look back, but he felt happy that the three of them were leaving. With that, even if he was to die, he could die knowing that his family was going to be safe. Ryder was flying next to Gabriel, when he heard a voice appear in his head. "I don\'t know what hostility you had with me, but I never meant you any harm. I am sure you must have your reasons, but I hope you won\'t harm my family because of it." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Ryder looked around, noticing Karyk looking in his direction. "I promise. I will keep your family safe, as long as my family isn\'t put at risk."
Ryder\'s voice echoed in Karyk\'s head as well.
His meaning was clear. Just as Karyk could do anything for his family, he could also do anything for his family. It was something in which both sides could be right, yet both of them could be wrong. Karyk didn\'t respond back. He had faith in Gabriel. Firstly, Gabriel wasn\'t going to harm anyone. And even if he did, he was going to protect Zena. As Gabriel also had true immortality now, as long as he didn\'t come across Archangels, he was capable of facing anything. The three of them soon disappeared in the distant horizon. They entered the ocean at the approximate location of the return portal. They located the portal and passed through it, returning to the Central World which was already submerged in water. .....
"So much for freeing me. It looks more like both of us will die here!"
While three people left, the Undead Sea King arrived, receiving Karyk\'s command. Karyk also brought his remaining Elzeiran Undead out of the Shadow Realm, which included his newly created undead as well. "You are already dead. So why are you worried about death? I should be worrying about it."
Karyk smiled. He was looking forward to seeing the Archangel that was coming for him. He didn\'t know if he could win or not. Unlike Gabriel, he couldn\'t absorb the essence from this world after all. In this world, his essence was limited. There was only one thing he was looking forward to. He wanted to know his true identity. Even after living through the memories of so many people in the Ancestral Temple, he only knew that he came from Abyss. After coming to this world, he came to know that he came to Abyss from the Celestial Realm. He still didn\'t know where his true Origin was. Where was he born? Who were his true parents? Why did he have to suffer so much? Why were Archangels after him? Even if the Archangels were after him, how did he manage to survive for so long? Just what was his true identity? How was he related to Archangels when he wasn\'t an Archangel?
He didn\'t know most of these answers, but he believed that someone who could answer him was coming to him. The only person who could answer him was the person who was looking for him. Karyk finally saw a silhouette of a person in the sky, flying towards him. "Huh?" The person did look like an Archangel, but at the same time he didn\'t. He had only one wing after all. Even with one wing, that person felt dangerous. Even the air around him was decaying and a void was being left behind him. "You are the ones those old fossils call the Forgotten Prince...?"
Aexin landed on the ground, looking at Karyk with frustration. "It\'s because of you that I had to come here. And I\'m honestly quite angry. So I hope you won\'t mind if I let out some of that frustration on you."
