Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

chapter-1037
The sky in the realm of angels started turning dark. It wasn't just the darkness that came due to the absence of light.
It was a darkness that devoured the light itself, as if the entire world was being taken into the sweet embrace of the night.
This phenomenon wasn't confined to one realm; it was observed all around the universe. Even in realms where the subordinates of angels resided, the sky had started turning dark as the spatial essence became chaotic.
During this strange occurrence, it became impossible to use Spatial Essence, as if an unknown force was obstructing it. The laws of the universe itself were being modified by the abyss.
Millions of worlds experienced the same event, with some fearing that this might be the end of the world....
"That is right. That's how you use that spell." In a seemingly insignificant world, Gabriel was teaching some spells to Zena.
This world had truly become their home, a place where they didn't have to worry about constant fighting.
Although there were some empires in this world that fought for land and influence, it didn't affect Gabriel and his family.
He had been spending his time teaching spells to Zena, who had quite a talent for learning the spells of the undead.
Having spent a lot of time in the realm of souls after her death, her soul seemed accustomed to the dead. When Karyk brought her back to life, her affinity increased even more.
To some extent, even Gabriel was surprised by her talent. Although she was not as talented as Karyk used to be in controlling the dead, she wasn't too far either.As Gabriel had the memories of Karyk from the past, including his spells, he had started teaching the same thing to Zena.
After teaching her, he even planned to have her create her own undead army so she could protect herself if he wasn't next to her.
Karyk was gone, and he didn't know if he was ever going to return. Gabriel didn't even know if Karyk was alive or not. The only thing he knew was that he could not abandon Zena. As for the legacy of Karyk, he had already started passing it down to Zena.
Every day, he had been mixing his divine blood in the food that Zena consumed to give her blood the divine properly and strengthen her body as well.
"Brother, when are we-" Zena started saying but before she could finish, she suddenly clenched her chest and landed on her knees, as if her heart had suddenly grown cold.
Gabriel was taken aback and tried to see if she was fine but he couldn't see anything wrong with her. Everything appeared to be fine. It's just that her undead essence appeared to be chaotic suddenly.
"Stop using the magic," he commanded her, not knowing what went wrong.
"I-i already did. It still hurts!" Zena exclaimed, her face pale from pain. She didn't know why, but she felt pain all over her body. A strange sense of sadness also spread around her thoughts for some reason.
Her body had started trembling as she felt fear in the depths of her soul. She looked above, looking at the sky that had started turning darker.
Gabriel also looked above, his expressions turning solemn. "The Abyss..."
He had been sealed in the abyss before so he could never forget this feeling.
....
Back on earth, many people looked at the sky, appearing confused as today wasn't supposed to be an eclipse.
There were only a few people around the universe who could feel the presence of the abyss. They didn't understand what had happened. For an eternity, the abyss hadn't moved from its place. It had been sealed near the god realm. People could only enter the place and leave it. It was something like the forbidden zone.
Currently, the abyss appeared to have started spreading all around the universe, breaking any seal that might have kept it in place.
....
Back in the unknown space, Karyk had been coughing blood, the black marks on his skin covering even more of his body.
He had only finished covering half the universe and that alone had already exhausted him. Even as he was connected to the abyss, his physical body was put in too much burden and so was his kind.
Even though he wasn't devouring any words, only keeping them in his abyssal realm for protection, but to do that, he had to devour the laws of the world.
That's what he was doing. He had been devouring the laws of the universe, refining this universe as something that belonged to him in its entirety.
There were also some powerful people who were trying to fight him in the process, stopping the spread of darkness.
He also noticed that there were a few small worlds that had hidden themselves from the Abyssal darkness, one of them being earth itself.
He didn't care about those words. Even if they hid from his abyss, they could still be taken to his abyss as they were still part of this universe.
The main problem was the laws of the world that were resisting him. He hadn't moved even
an inch from his place, but his body and his mind was at its limit, trying to conquer the laws of
the universe.
It was as if he was fighting with heaven itself. As the laws were being devoured, more and more information infiltrated his mind.
By devouring just one law, the information that gathered in his mind was the same size as the information he had gathered throughout his life by devouring so many people.
His ears, nose and eyes were bleeding already, as his breathing became haggard. Instead of stopping, he used those same devoured laws to increase his assault on them.
At the same time, he felt that his Undeads were constantly dying. Normally, they could come back to life using the essence of the abyss, becoming truly undying.
However, he was using the entirety of the abyss to devour the universe, not able to afford to spare any for his undead that returned to the abyss after dying, instead of healing.
At the same time, he also felt the door of the universe in the palace of the Angels was opening again and someone was coming.
