996 Chapter 996: Devouring the world

The same black flame appeared, but this time even he couldn't see it. He could just feel it. The flame had lit up inside his own body. To be more specific, it appeared right around his heart.

It wasn't his body that turned to ashes but his heart that did. Even until he died, the man didn't believe that this was all reality and not just a nightmare.

Karyk walked closer to the corpse.

"Arise..."

The same darkness emanated from the man's body and swallowed his entire body. It was devouring his body, but also creating something new.

In front of everyone's eyes, an Abyssal Undead arose. The body of the man was destroyed, and only this chunk of darkness that took a human shape was left behind. "That makes it seven."

His shadow became larger, covering the entire floor. All the Abyssal Undead fell inside his shadow and disappeared. The flames that were sealing the hall also disappeared. "I didn't expect you to be here as well," Karyk caught the sight of the Mother Whale who was standing in the distance with the child in her arms.

He waved his fingers and destroyed all the restraints around people's hands and legs. The others looked at each other's faces before they all lowered their heads respectfully. They didn't know who this person was, but he had saved them. Without him, they might have died.

Even if he hadn't saved them, could they afford to offend him? Just one of those shadow creatures had destroyed all the Children of Heaven, and now he had seven? If he wanted to destroy them, could they even resist.

"You don't need to thank me. I just kept my promise with her. You can leave," Karyk told the others.

The people in the hall were initially very hostile and disgusted at the Mother Whale. She had chosen to run away instead of freeing them. If there wasn't the flaming seal around the hall, she would have run away without looking back.

But the moment they heard that she was associated with his man, many of them gulped down heavily, their backs drenched in cold sweat.

"T-thank you." They thanked the Mother Whale as well who didn't know how to respond.

It was true that she had guided him in exchange for his help in killing the Children of Heaven. But she didn't expect him to actually achieve this.

She had even thought that he had died. But not only was he alive, but he was so strong when he returned. Was this why he was so confident?

"I..." She didn't know what else to say. She simply stood there at a loss of words. Karyk appeared in front of the Mother Whale. She subconsciously stepped back. "You don't need to say anything. As I said, I simply kept my promise."

He didn't know that the two whales who helped him were kept as prisoners here. He thought they most probably escaped into the sea after his disappearance.

He simply sent the undead here to kill the Children of Heaven and not to save them. It just happened to be a coincidence that they were saved.

He moved closer to the young whale who was now in a human form. The young whale had been very naive in the past. He hadn't seen enough of the world or the cruelty.

This was why he saved a stranger like him without worrying about his own safety. But now, the child appeared to have seen what the world was truly like.

The Child knew Karyk, but still he couldn't let out the scenes of cruelty from his mind. When Karyk came close to him, his body started trembling in fear.

"I told you, I was a bad guy." Karyk didn't take it to heart. He simply smiled as he turned around.

"You can leave, and don't worry. From now on, no one will be able to harm this place. My home will not be the playground of angels anymore."

Karyk stepped out of the hall.

The young child watched Karyk's back getting distant. He clenched his fist. Even though he was scared, he gathered his courage and ran after Karyk to thank him. Unfortunately, when he stepped out of the hall, he failed to find Karyk anywhere. That man had simply disappeared.

At that moment, Karyk stood atop the border wall. However, there was no reaction from the wall.

"I see. You are truly gone," he mumbled under his breath, unable to feel any life from the wall. It was as if the spirit of the wall was already dying but it still held on in wait for him so it could guide him.

"If I'm not wrong, you also thought that I was a prince... But I don't blame you." "I might not be the Prince that you all believe me to be, but I will definitely fulfill the responsibility of the Prince. This place, I will take it back now."

Karyk tapped his foot lightly in the fall before he flew towards the sky.

He kept flying higher and higher until he reached the barrier cast by the Angels which had kept outsider's powers in this world sealed.

He flew past the barrier that failed to stop him. High in the space, he looked at the planet from outside the barrier.

In the darkness of space, his shadow became bigger and bigger until it flew towards the world.

His shadow covered the entire world, along with the barrier. Under the devouring of his shadow, the barrier of the Angels shattered in the blink of an eye.

Soon, the entire world was consumed by his shadow, but it wasn't destroyed.

He simply shifted this world in his shadow, detaching it from every other form of

reality. Even the Angels could not reach this world.

After consuming the world, his shadow retreated. The place where the world used to

be, all that was left there was an empty space.

"Thank you for everything..." Karyk muttered, looking at the empty space. A portal opened up behind him and he flew inside the portal.
