Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
chapter-1046

1046 Chapter 1046: Home Karyk's body shot out of the river of space, falling down as if being pulled by some great gravitational force. With a thud, his body crashed on the ground, akin to a meteorite falling from the sky. The impact of his fall was so strong that a crater was created around his body, the trembling of earth being felt for thousands of miles.

Despite the brutal fall, he was still alive. His body didn't appear to be badly injured, at least not more than it had been in the Spatial Tunnel already. Even for gods, the chaotic Spatial Tunnel was enough to rip them to shreds, but Karyk had survived that.

With constant modification of his body through devouring, not just his blood and flesh but even his bones had changed, becoming something much stronger. Compared to being gnawed at by the forces of space, a fall appeared insignificant. Still, it was enough to change the immediate landscape around him.

The ground was scorched and cracked where Karyk lay, steam rising from the crater. He remained motionless, his body bearing the marks that appeared to be healing, albeit slowly. Now that he was out of the spatial tunnel, his body had a much easier time trying to heal him while establishing a connection with the Abyss again.

As the people who died in his universe were devoured, he was recovering his life source. Still, the life of mortals was not worth much. Even if billions of them died, it was not even enough to recover a fraction of the life source he had lost to completely devour the worldly laws to conquer that universe The only good that came from the constant devouring cycle of death was that he was becoming stronger and more perfect with each passing second, recovering faster.

Days passed before Karyk finally appeared to regain his consciousness. His eyelids fluttered, then opened, revealing eyes that were pitch black. There was no differentiating factor between his pupils and the rest of his eye, everything becoming pitch black while a myriad of stars could be seen in the depths of those black eyes.

He groaned in pain, each movement sending a jolt of pain through his battered body that felt even more stiff. With a great effort, he pushed himself up to a sitting position, surveying the alien environment. He could not even focus on his surroundings as his mind was constantly getting distracted by the overwhelming memories, most of which were suppressed by him.

Now that he was out of the river of space and time, the flow of time in his universe had recovered. Still, thousands of people were constantly dying with every passing second, their memories not stopping for even a moment. As he sat there, memories continued to flood into his mind, overwhelming and disjointed.

He saw flashes of civilizations, battles, and the lives of countless beings who had lived and died within the universe he now carried within him. Each memory was a fragment of a larger, incomprehensible whole. After taking a moment to rest, he stood up, almost stumbling on his feet and falling to the ground again.

It took him some effort to properly walk again, but even then he appeared unstable. He didn't plan to sit idle. He needed to understand where he had landed, thanks to the river of space.

The only thing he knew was that it couldn't be the universe that was under the watch of the Angels. He had traveled a lot of distance, although he didn't know exactly how much. Karyk's eyes scanned the horizon, searching for any sign of life.

He didn't hold high expectations though. He could see the kind of destruction his fall caused here. Still, no one came to see what happened here, which made him feel that there was no Civilization here, at least none that was nearby.

This also made this place slightly safer as he didn't have to worry about being attacked. He separated a shadow from himself, telling it to hide itself in the world. This was his way back to this place as he planned to leave first.

He had a rough understanding of the fate that fell into his universe thanks to the ruthless flow of time. There were billions of memories and he couldn't comprehend all of them. Most of them became a combined mess.

He still didn't know what happened to Gabriel and his family. The millions of years that had passed in his universe definitely took a toll on them, but Gabriel was supposed to be immortal. Zena was also someone who was able to Master death to some extent, so he wanted to confirm with his own eyes that they were still alive.

Another shadow came out of the group, creating something like a door in front of him that led to the universe where he was the only supreme god in the absence of any worldly laws. Not only had he devoured the laws that governed the universe but he also managed to master them. He pushed the door open.

With his weakened condition, even creating the door took a lot of effort, but it was still possible to accurately connect it to his destination. The other end of the door connected to the mountain where he had last seen Gabriel. It was the place where his family had established their safe home, away from all the conflicts in a world that was so weak that no one in it could threaten Zena let alone Gabriel.

On the other end of the door, Karyk stepped out of the darkness, finding himself into even more darkness. It was not night but the sky was completely dark, as if the sun itself was swallowed by the abyss along with the worldly laws. In the darkness, he saw a silhouette sitting in the distance, facing the other side.

Looking at the figure, a smile appeared on Karyk's face. Even with his fragmented mind, there was something that he held dear. It was his family, and he was clear that this silhouette belonged to Gabriel.

He walked towards Gabriel, his feet swaying a little with weakness.
