Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-1042

The Watcher's illusion was so strong that even the most powerful beings could succumb to it. The Angels, despite their might, were not immune to its effects.

The illusion twisted their perception of reality, making them see what the Watcher wanted them to see. It was as if the very fabric of reality was under the Watcher's control.

Karyk, on the other hand, was focused on his task. The remnants of the universal laws were dwindling under his relentless devouring. Each fragment absorbed brought him closer to his goal.

However, with each passing second, he could also feel that he was reaching closer to his own end. Devouring the universe was still hard for someone like him.

Suddenly, the illusion began to waver. The Giant Angel's laughter ceased abruptly as realization dawned.

The Angel's eyes, thousands of them, blinked as one as they tried to break free from the illusion. But it was too late. The damage was done. The Watcher's trick had bought Karyk the precious time he needed.

With the realization, the Angels finally woke up from the illusion. They looked all around, their expressions twisting as they realized that they were still in their false forms. If anything, they hadn't moved an inch, let alone waking up their real bodies.

The first angel to be fooled roared, a deafening sound that reverberated through the cosmos, shattering planets and stars in its wake.

"How dare you fool me?!"

It was disgusting for him to think that he was fooled by a mere illusion, especially in front of everyone. He couldn't even hide it. The others who were trapped in the illusion also woke up following the roar, realizing the same thing.

There were only a few who hadn't been trapped in the illusions. However, instead of helping their friends, they were just looking at them with a mocking gaze as if laughing at them for falling for such a trick.

"What a pity. I thought it would keep you busy for a little longer. Even if you have a fragment of your consciousness in these false bodies, it's still strong."

The Watcher wasn't happy either. Even though he had managed to trap quite a few angels in his trap, it came as a surprise to him that they freed themselves from their illusion so fast.

Normally, it was impossible for a person to free themselves from his illusions without outside interference. That's why he didn't attack the Angels when they were under illusion and unable to move.

Even the slightest of killing intent towards them or a physical attack was enough to wake them from this illusion, which was the last thing that the Watcher wanted.

If anything, he only wanted to buy more time for themselves and Karyk.

He glanced in the direction of Karyk, who looked like he was in a worse condition.

"I will kill you bastards!" The Angels, protecting themselves from any illusions rushed towards their real bodies.

Once, it was easy to trap them in illusion but a second time was much harder, especially now that they were all alert.

The Watcher and his friend knew that they couldn't distract them. As for fighting them, it was even harder with their real bodies around.

Fighting the Angels who had returned to their real bodies was like a human trying to fight a Galactic Titan. As they were now, they knew that they couldn't win.

"We can't waste any more time. We need to take him away," the Watcher said as he flew towards Karyk. Even if he had to forcefully stop what he was doing, it was better than him getting caught.

On one side, the Angels reached their real bodies. This time, it wasn't just one angel who touched his real body. All the Angels did the same.

Tens of real angels that had been in deep slumber around Karyk's universe started waking up from their deep sleep as their false conscience merged with their real consciousness, letting them learn everything that had happened.

It was as if the real angels were inheriting the memories of their false avatars that also contained information about the appearance of the Watcher and even Karyk.

Normally, the real angels wouldn't have woken up for insignificant things. If the memories were insignificant, they might have punished their own fragmented consciousness for wasting their time.

However, this time the memories were truly significant. Excited, all angels opened their eyes, looking at Karyk. Even though they were at the peak of existence, their eyes still revealed greed as they watched Karyk.

At the same time, the Watcher also reaches Karyk. He reached out his hand towards Karyk's body to take him away. However, as he was about to touch Karyk, another dark barrier appeared around him.

Karyk's devouring reached its climax. The last vestiges of the universe were being consumed. His power that had almost exhausted, started surging, a maelstrom of energy that enveloped him. The abyss within him expanded, a void that swallowed everything in its path in the

universe.

The Watcher, sensing the strange phenomenon subconsciously stepped back. He looked back at the Universe, shocked.

The universe that was bright and filled with life was nowhere to be found. All that he could see was darkness that had completely hidden the universe within itself.

In the endless darkness, he wasn't even sure that he could find the universe in the first place even if he wanted to.

"He succeeded?" he asked, looking in disbelief. Although he knew what Karyk was doing, he expected him to fail.

If anything, the one reason he delayed the others was for Karyk to fail on his own and lose his life essence. At that time, he was going to give Karyk some of his life essence, making him

depend on him.

He never expected Karyk to actually succeed in devouring a universe when he had only recovered his memories from the moment of his birth in his human form.

"What an absurd thing I have witnessed. No wonder all of them were..." He mumbled, his eyes narrowing as they looked at Karyk.
