Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-1036

The colossal beings that could easily devour an entire galaxy if they wanted, seemed to be interested in this one universe where he came from. And even in that once universe, they were interested in him.

Was it really because of the curse? He wasn't strong enough to curse them, so he was sure that the real reason was different from what they made the world believe.

The beings appeared to be deep asleep. If he hadn't known better, he would have thought that it was because they had sent their entire consciousness into their false bodies to find him. Instead, he could still feel the presence of consciousness within them. It was as if they only let a fragment of their consciousness with the false bodies while their real bodies and conscience was sleeping here.

Just looking at the size of the colossal beings, Karyk wondered what was going to happen if he devoured them. If they were actually bodies that didn't have consciousness, he would have already devoured them.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. He was sure that as soon as he tried devouring them, they were going to wake up. If that happened, could he stop them?

He had to do something, and he had to do that without devouring these Abyssal beings. What else could he do? He wasn't sure.

The only other option was to return back to his universe and try to kill all the false angels. He wasn't sure if it was going to change anything as long as the real angels were still alive.

For now, this universe appeared to be imprisoned by these angels. Even if he killed the false angels, nothing stopped them from sending more. If he went too far, they might even destroy the entire universe.

He had a feeling that they weren't going to destroy this universe. Or rather, they couldn't do that. Still, he didn't want to take the risk.

The universe was his origin. It was also where the abyss was physically present, which was his real being. The abyss was him, and he was the abyss. They were one soul that could switch between different bodies.

If the universe was destroyed, the abyss was going to be destroyed with it. There was no escape for him.

If it was just about him, he might have still taken the risk but the problem was that Gabriel and the others were also living in some distant corner of the universe.

For now, he only had these options. Either he could try to devour the Angels and be killed. He could return and surrender to the Angels. And the last option was to fight the false angels for an eternity, always remaining inside the prison of a universe.

All three options failed to satisfy him. He couldn't surrender and let the Angels get what they wanted, especially since he wasn't sure if they were going to destroy the universe after they received what they wanted from within.

As for devouring these colossal bodies, even at the fastest, it was going to take a month to devour a body. It was impossible for them to not wake up during that time.

As for fighting endlessly, that also wasn't feasible as it was only a matter of time before the Angels were going to find his weakness.

All the paths before him appeared to end at a dead end. With that being the case, he knew that he could only create the fourth path for himself.

He couldn't take the bodies of real angels with him, worried that they might destroy his universe. To stop that, all he had to do was make sure that his universe couldn't be destroyed!

There was only one way to do that!

Karyk turned towards the universe, which consisted of billions of planets within, each having their own ecosystem.

"You are truly crazy if you are seriously trying to do that." Karyk thought, once again feeling split over this decision.

"When weren't we crazy?" he smiled as he spread his arms. His shadow spread out, getting larger and larger with each passing second.

Soon, a dark shadow started surrounding the vast universe, spreading all around, as if trying to devour it whole.

Karyk had already devoured the world of the Civilization to protect it, sending it within his abyssal realm. However, devouring and protecting an entire universe was completely different.

Devouring an entire universe meant devouring billions of worlds, their sun, their moon, their stars, their living existences. It didn't just end with devouring the galaxy.

It was something that placed a burden over his soul, a burden that he had to carry all his life for as long as he lived.

He had only begun and his face had already gone pale, his breathing becoming haggard. The only advantage of devouring the universe instead of devouring a real angel was that the universe couldn't feel being devoured, only to wake up and attack him.

Even if devouring the universe took an entire year, it was still fine as long as the real angels didn't wake up. As for them waking up, he was sure that was not going to happen unless their false bodies came to this place.

No matter how long it took, he had to devour this universe and send it to his abyssal realm where he could protect it.

With each passing second, darkness started spreading throughout the universe that he was devouring.

The Angels returned to their cities, only to be greeted by millions of undead that were wreaking havoc. Many of the Angels were angels who were turned by Karyk's generals.

In such a short time, almost half the city was already destroyed. Quite a few angels were left fighting who were alive. The majority of those who were alive were because they had been hiding.

Now that the Angels High Lords were here, they were prepared to kill the Undeads. However, before the High Lords could react, there saw a strange phenomenon where the sky started turning dark as a dark mist spread.

It wasn't a phenomenon that was just seen in this world either.
