973 Chapter 973: My son

The Prince shook his head.

"I don't know anything else about it. All I heard was that heaven itself will come for blessing..."

He could not help but laugh. It was absurd to think that Heaven would come to bless him. What was heaven? It was not a living thing.

It was just a made up thing to justify things that no living being could control. It was a force of nature, which was only someone's figment of imagination.

Although he was a child, he knew that his parents were just making things up the moment they talked about heaven.

While the child was laughing, Karyk was completely serious. In this world, he had learned to not underestimate things. If the King himself said that Heaven will come down, was it truly a lie?

Even his own common sense made him unable to believe it. He had seen many gods in his own universe. They were what the mortals called heaven, but this was truly just a made up thing.

In this world, even Gods could be killed. There was no supreme being that was able to control everything in the universe. Even Chaos hadn't been able to do that.

Just to kill the Ancestral God, Chaos had disappeared. What about the Civilization and other universes that remained unknown to them? The universe was truly bigger than anyone could have imagined.

"Hmm?"

Karyk was deep in thoughts when he suddenly turned serious and looked towards the palace.

One of his shadows has noticed a group of unfamiliar people gathering around the Royal Palace.

'Are they starting now?' he thought. 'Should I mess with them a little?'

He could easily alert the guards with his shadows and screw over the infiltrators. However, in the end, he didn't go forward with the plan.

He was not here to change anything as this was just a world existing in someone's memory. He wanted to see how things unfolded with the Infiltrators and the Royal Family.

The strangers targeted the weak point in the protection of the Palace. But they didn't just Target one weak point. They targeted multiple weak points at the same time.

Most of them managed to get past the Guards, surprising Karyk at how easy it had been for them.

After passing through the external protection, they changed their clothes with that of the Guards that were already arranged for them.

Karyk had one of his shadows follow them as they entered the Palace.

While inside the palace, he took advantage of the situation. One shadow split into

hundreds of shadows and started going in different directions.

A shadow followed each of the infiltrators while the rest went to check the rest of the palace to see if anything of interest could be found.

"Are you listening to me?"

The young boy placed his hand on Karyk's shoulders and shook him.

"Huh?" Karyk came to his senses, momentarily disconnecting from his shadows.

"I said, are you bored? Do you want to leave?"

The Prince looked disappointed that he was boring Karyk to the point that he had phased out.

"Not at all. I was just thinking about something. Anyways, do you want to come with me? There is an entirely different part of the city that we can explore next."

As long as the people didn't disappear tonight, Karyk had thought of a way to make his way inside the palace officially. And the Prince was the key.

As long as he was inside the Palace openly, he could attend the birthday celebration and uncover even more things. But for that, he had to correct some things.

He was a citizen of the outer city. If he was discovered inside, it could cause trouble. Hence, he wanted to be in the outer city when the guards came to find the Prince. He could just act like he met the Prince in the outer city. The Prince could also act with him to save his life. As for making his way inside the palace, it was as easy as putting in some nice words.

The infiltrators had entered the palace. They directly went towards the Prince's room, as if already knowing everything about its location.

Along the way, they were not stopped. They wore the robes of Warriors that worked directly under the King, so ordinary guards did not bother to ask them anything. Only when they reached near the Prince's room were they stopped by the Guards. The Prince's Guards were commanded to not let anyone else enter the room, except the approved servants.

"You can't go f-" one of the Guards exclaimed, but before he could even finish his sentence, a stream of blood flew in the air as his head was separated from the body. "We are so close. Even if the others are alerted, no one can stop us now!"

The Guards were shocked when they were attacked. None of them had expected this to happen. All of them were unprepared for it, especially since they thought these were the King's men.

Unprepared, before they could even react, they were all attacked. Explosions responded in the corridor as a battle began.

A lot of the guards were killed during the initial attack, but the rest of them soon started fighting back.

Unfortunately, their numbers were much lower. While the guards were kept busy, the leader of the infiltrators approached the room.

He kicked the door open and saw someone sleeping on the bed, their entire body covered in a blanket.

He stepped forward and without waiting, stabbed a Sword through the person's

body.

"Hmm?" He expected the blanket to be covered in blood, but none of that happened. He didn't even feel a proper resistance.

With a frown, he took off the blanket. Under the blanket, pillows were gathered together to make a human figure. Seeing the pillows, the man was furious.

"It was a trap! Spread out and find the Prince!" The man commanded while he personally started checking the entire room to confirm the Prince actually was not here.

A few minutes ago before the explosion near the Prince's room, the King was meeting with his wife. Both of them were standing near the window, looking at the distant

sky.

"Are you still feeling sad?" The King asked.

"The time is drawing closer. Why won't I feel sad? You are asking me to... My

child…"
