978 Chapter 978: Gift of the angel

The entire hall went silent as soon as an announcement was made. Even the King of Ocean looked intimidated as he turned to the entrance, clearly being more respectful towards the new guests.

The entire place was so silent that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

A figure was soon seen stepping inside the grand banquet hall. Even as the person walked inside, his footsteps could not be heard.

He could be seen walking, but there was no sound. It was as if he was walking on the air and not the floor.

The man was dressed in a beautiful black robe draped over his shoulders. His appearance was similar to humans but different at the same time, as angel-like wings could be seen coming out of his back.

There was also something strange about him. When people looked at him, everything felt fine. But if they took their eyes off him, they couldn't even recall his face. Even their memories couldn't contain the Angel.

'Is he... The Archangel?'

Karyk was quite intrigued by the man who had walked inside this hall. He didn't come with anyone else. There were no guards accompanying him as he entered the hall. Still, one could feel that he was strong.

Looking at the man, even Karyk wasn't certain if he could defeat this man, even if he was to use all he had. The man... Felt no weaker than the King of this Civilization.

Compared to the half blooded Archangel that he had met before, this man was in an entirely different league, looking like he stood at the pinnacle of it all.

Looking at the man, Karyk could feel that he was being protected by the laws of this world.

The Angel, shrouded in divinity, stepped inside the hall. His eyes looked at the surroundings, as if he was trying to find someone.

"His Majesty, the King, has arrived!"

Another announcement was made and from the other entrance, the King entered the hall, holding the hand of his son. His wife entered the hall behind him.

The King of Civilization looked at the Angel. He didn't reveal much surprise, as if he had already sensed the arrival of this person.

No other guests dared to approach the King unless their names were to be called. However, the Angel didn't seem to care about etiquette.

He approached the King, his eyes occasionally glancing at the young prince

"You arrived earlier than I expected," the King said.

"How can I be late when it's the birthday of my nephew?" The Angel smiled as he

patted the head of the young prince.

The Prince looked at the Angel in confusion. Although he had heard about the Angels, this was the first time he was ever allowed to meet one. But why was the Angel calling him nephew?

"I heard there has been something going on with your territory?" The King asked, changing the topic.

The Angel also took his hands off.

"Just a futile struggle of the peasants who want to go against the will of heaven." He observed the King with particular interest as he continued, "As you know, there are too many fools in this world who want to go against the will of heaven."

"They don't realize that they are too insignificant in the grand scheme of things. They want to keep struggling, thinking that they know it all. At the end, they all face the same end. Am I correct?" he further asked.

The King narrowed his eyes. "You are right. Some people do think that they know it all. But it's only a matter of time before they realize that they had been missing more than a naive fool who thought they knew all there was to know about our universe." The King and the Angel talked about a few more territorial matters, before the King ended the conversation, saying he couldn't ignore the other guests.

Meanwhile, the Prince asked to approach Karyk after seeing him in the corner of the rooms, but the King stopped him.

"You can meet him after the end of the banquet."

The King walked towards his throne and sat down. His wife also has a seat that was placed behind him, at a lower footing.

Usually, the Prince's seat was also supposed to be behind the King's throne, but he was given a seat next to the King.

The Angel was also provided a throne of his own, unlike the other guests. His seat was almost on the same footing as the King, signifying an equal position.

The only difference was that his throne was placed on the left side of the hall with the King's throne being on his left side.

The other guests were also seated. And hence, the banquet officially began. One after another, the guests came forward and wished the Prince for his birthday. They also handed over their gifts.

All the guests had brought more than one gift that was given to the Royal Palace, but the more significant gifts were given directly.

The gifting ceremony lasted for over half an hour, with the most significant gift coming from the King of the Ocean, which was the Heart of Ocean.

It was a gem that allowed the Prince to control the ocean to some extent. Quite a lot of people were surprised that the Ocean King actually gave such a gift, which made all their gifts pale in comparison.

Not just the Palace, but the entire city was told to celebrate the Prince's birthday. The citizens of the city had even started praying for the Prince on his birthday. Occasionally, the King kept checking the Prince's bracelet, where a thin white shine was getting stronger with each passing second.

Lastly, it was the turn of the Angel to present his gift.

"I am here to present you with a very unique gift."

The Angel placed a small crystal in the Prince's hand.

"This crystal will be tied to your soul. Only you can use it. Even if you lose it, no one else will be able to see or use it. As for what this does..."

The Angel smiled before continuing.
