989 Chapter 989: Survival

All the fragmented pieces of Karyk's past were beginning to align as he relived forgotten memories.

He remembered being handed over to the Emperor of the Celestial Empire by the man who then vanished into the shadows, leaving forever.

Karyk had no idea where the man went, but he saw the man leaving a letter with the Emperor, instructing it to be given to Karyk upon his adulthood.

Though Karyk had yet to read the letter, he was certain it held his origins. He also had a feeling that somewhere in the future, that man went to the world of civilization and left that book in the library.

'But how did I read that world in the first place? Was that a coincidence?'

He didn't understand how he ended up in that world when he was at the death's door, especially since the thief had taken the pendant with him while leaving. Fortunately, he was getting to experience all these parts of his life that he had forgotten. The Emperor protected him as if his life depended on it.

At the same time, he also kept his identity a secret, even from his own daughter. Not even a few months had passed when the Angels sent an envoy to this world. They located the Emperor's Palace and asked him to hand over the Prince.

The Emperor outright refused, and hence the Elzeirans were sent here to not only take over this world but also bring the Prince back alive.

Karyk had always assumed that he was tossed in the abyss because the Emperor didn't want to hand him over to the Elzeirans.

He thought the Emperor preferred to have him die, rather than let the Angels who destroyed his world succeed. Unfortunately, he soon realized that it wasn't the case. The descent of the Elzeirans and the large-scale essence of death that spread from the war played a bigger hand in it.

Although it didn't destroy this world, a lot of instability was created in this world. Slowly, the space around the world began to crack apart, much like it did when he faced the half-angel Aexin in Elzeira.

It was just Karyk's luck that one such crack appeared in the very room where he was being kept. This crack pulled him into the unknown realm of the Abyss.

He returned to where he had started, but this time in his human form.

The Celestial Empire lay in ruins. With countless sacrifices, they managed to protect only one city, which was forever sealed.

The Elzeirans didn't force their way into the city as they sensed the Prince was gone. Ever since then, they began searching for him in worlds connected by spatial cracks. They checked every world but found not even the slightest trace of the Prince.

There was only one world they couldn't properly check because the only crack to that world was sealed on the other side.

Far from all this commotion, Karyk remained at the core of the Abyss.

Any other child, even if they were the offspring of a god, would have been devoured by the Abyss if sent here. But Karyk was different.

Once again, he lost all sense of time. It felt like an eternity passed while he stayed in the Abyss, not aging a single day.

The terrifying silence of the Abyss was broken only when two people entered it, locked in combat.

One of them was Ezekiel, who had saved Gabriel when he was tossed into the Abyss with his heart torn out. The other was none other than the future King of Gods, Chaos himself.

Chaos won the battle, but even he wasn't able to kill Ezekiel. If Karyk hadn't seen the future, he wouldn't have known why this was the case.

But having seen the future, he understood that it was because Ezekiel worked for the Elzeirans who granted him a certain level of immortality that was different from the gods.

Even Chaos wasn't able to kill him, but he still sealed him in the Abyss, forever making sure that Ezekiel wasn't going to see the light of day. It was only when

Gabriel came to the abyss that Ezekiel was freed.

Ezekiel was sealed in the Abyss by Chaos, who was about to leave when he saw a child floating in the endless space.

He found it hard to believe that there was a child here who was still alive, despite being in the Abyss. He didn't understand how this child ended up here, but in the end, he decided to take the child with him.

Hence, Karyk reached the point which he had seen in the Ancient Temple from the Heavenly Scribe's perspective. He was the child who was brought out of the abyss. He was the child that Chaos gave his godly essence to help him survive out of the Abyss.

At this point, Chaos wasn't the King of Gods. He also knew that it was only a matter of time before he was going to become the enemy of all gods. He couldn't take the child with him.

As he couldn't take him to the realm of gods, he left Karyk to an even lower world to have him live the life of a mortal.

Only after having Chaos's essence, Karyk started aging. Coincidentally, he became the Prince again. He was also named Karyk.

He lived the life of a mortal until once again the world was almost destroyed because of wars between the Empires.

Sitting over the corpse of those he believed to be his family, he awakened a trade of

his powers. He awakened what he saw from the closest. He awakened death. Karyk already knew what happened after that, but he couldn't help but go through his entire life again like he was watching a movie where he was the star. Everything progressed in the same manner until he came across Aexin after destroying Elzeirans.

He was fighting half angel Aexin when the world around him started getting destroyed again. This time, he actually felt like he might die.

It was from this point onwards, he didn't remember how he had survived. But now

that he was replaying his life, he finally saw how he survived.
