Chapter 735 735: Prepared

The barrier around him and his sister dissolved, and he looked down at her with a mixture of hope and anticipation.

Zena's unconscious form seemed to stir, a faint smile crossing her lips as her mind found a newfound equilibrium.

As the God of Darkness observed the scene, he felt surprised that it had actually worked. He wondered how Karyk became so strong.

He felt a little jealous as well. He had once been a figure of immense power, but his actions had led to his downfall. Seeing Karyk's strength made him reflect on his own choices. With a heavy sigh, he lowered his head.

Karyk's focus remained on Zena, his heart filled with a mixture of relief and gratitude that he had been able to help her find peace within her own mind.

As he watched her serene expression, Karyk finally sighed in relief. For the next half an hour, no one spoke anything. Zena was healed, but she was still very tired and in deep sleep, so she didn't wake up right away.

It was only after half an hour that the silence was broken when Zena woke up.

Her eyes opened, looking at the surroundings with initial confusion. It took her time to register everyone's faces. Her thoughts were slow as well.

Amongst the faces she saw here, it was only when she looked at Karyk that her expressions revealed a sense of recognition.

"Brother...?" She asked.

Karyk stepped forward, hugging his sister. He didn't even realize as tears started falling from his eyes.

After going through so many lives, his emotions were all over the place. He didn't have as good a control on his emotions as he used to have before. This was akin to a trade he made in exchange for the immense strength he received from the Temple.

For a moment, Zena was at peace in her brother's embrace. It had been a long time since she felt such peace, but that peace didn't last long.

Her memories flared, as she remembered the moment when her mind was broken by Caen. The pain and fear rushed back, causing her heart to ache all over again.

Karyk could feel his sister tremble in fear.

"No one will harm you anymore. I am here. I promise that I'll kill everyone who tries to harm you! That day... won't repeat itself..." Karyk's gentle voice fell in Zena's ears.

Zena closed her eyes and hugged her brother rightly, as tears rolled down her cheeks.

While she was hugging her brother, her stomach started growling, making her face turn red in embarrassment.

"You must be hungry. Eat something first."

Karyk freed Zena from his embrace. He waved his hand, making a table appear out of thin air. On the Table, many delicious fruits appeared, each looking better than the other.

He also turned to the others in the room. "You all too... eat something. You went through a lot in this place."

The table had enough food for everyone to eat. As they gathered around the table, the sweet aroma of the fruits filled the air, instantly brightening their spirits. They had been in such a hurry that they didn't even have the time to eat.

They were caught as soon as they arrived and put in a cell. There, they didn't eat anything and after escaping, they still had to stress over helping Alion. Finally, everything was calm.

The Nether Realm army was destroyed and they didn't need to worry about being caught anymore. They could finally eat in peace.

Novius and Cylix sat around the table. Alion also sat down. The Holy Priestess of Darkness initially hesitated before she also sat down, feeling hungry.

The Spirit of God of Darkness moved closer to Karyk. "Ah, now that things are peaceful, can you help me as well?"

Karyk looked at the God of Darkness. With a nod, Karyk agreed to listen to the Spirit's request. No matter what happened in the past, it was true that amongst the Gods that betrayed him and worked with the Upper Realm didn't include the God of Darkness.

Because of that, Karyk decided to bring him back to life as well. He had a feeling that it was just the calm before the storm. There was something terrible waiting for them in the future. Even he didn't know what it was, he was certain that it was helpful to have as much help as possible.

Karyk began the arduous process of resurrecting the God of Darkness. It was much harder to bring back the God of Darkness than it was to bring back Avilia. This man's Spirit was thousands of times more powerful than Avilia after all.

If it was in the last, Karyk couldn't even imagine bringing back the God of Darkness. Just bringing his sister back consumed millions of lives. Even the lives of the entire Upper Realm wouldn't have been enough to bring the God of Darkness back.

Fortunately, he didn't need to take anyone's lives now. It was an exhausting process, but it wasn't harmful for him.

He also felt that it was worth it, since along with bringing back the God of Darkness, Karyk decided to leave an imprint on the man's soul that was going to destroy it if he ever thought about betraying him in the future.

As God's essence began to stir and form, Karyk could sense a dark, yet powerful presence emerging from the depths of the Dark Sphere inside which the Soul of God of Darkness was kept now.

He knew that the God of Darkness would prove to be an invaluable ally in the impending battle that awaited them.

....

While Karyk was bringing back the God of Darkness, back in the Abyss, there was another person who was emerging.

"You finished your training faster than I expected. I think you're finally ready now." Ezekiel gazed at Gabriel, who was shrouded in the frightening aura of Abyss. His strength completely beyond what it used to be in the past. His eyes also felt different.
