Chapter 839 839: Darkness that eclipse abyss
The woman stepped towards the Palace in the distance. The moment she took her first step, the surroundings changed. Karyk also felt some spatial disturbance as if he was being pulled to a different space.
He didn't resist the spatial pull, instead, he embraced it, curious about where the woman was trying to take him.
The surroundings changed completely. One moment, he was standing at the outer edge of the city, and the next moment, he found himself in a grand hall.
Just the sheer size of the hall alone was enough to give away its identity. This was the Grand Palace that he had only seen from a distance.
In the Grand Hall, there was only one throne, made from intricate jade carvings that glimmered under the soft light. However, the throne didn't look like it was made for people like them. Instead, it looked like it was made for a Giant.
"Is there anyone in this city besides you two?" Karyk asked the woman who was walking towards the throne, her back straight and graceful.
lightsnοvεl "There are millions of Undead in the city, if you want to count them," the woman answered as she stopped before the throne, her fingers tracing along the patterns etched into the jade.Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
"And the living?" Karyk asked. Although millions of Undead was a great fighting force, he wanted to know the true depths of these people.
"Only me." The woman spoke, taking a seat on the throne.
"Just you?" Karyk frowned, thinking back to the hooded man who controlled the Undead like a puppet.
He hadn't sensed any undead aura from that man. Instead, the man appeared to be full of life, completely unlike an Undead Being. He had intelligence as well.
The woman's words hung in the air, heavy with a sense of foreboding. Karyk's curiosity grew stronger as he listened to her speak. He couldn't help but wonder who "they" were that the woman was talking about.
"I don't have who?" Karyk asked, his voice filled with uncertainty.
The woman turned to him, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and loss. She looked behind Karyk.
Karyk traced her gaze, looking behind him. There, he saw multiple statues. And one of them was a giant statue whose physique matched that of the throne, as if this giant throne was especially created for him.
"You don't have the ones who could hold them back, even at the cost of their lives. All your lives will be futile the moment their conquest starts. You can only stop them before the conquest begins. If not..."
She didn't finish her sentence but her meaning was clear. Unfortunately, her words also confused Karyk.
She was implying that he could only stop them in Elzeria. Why was it only possible here and not in his world? What was different the moment this 'conquest' began? Weren't they supposed to be the strongest in Elzeria? Something didn't make sense about her words to him.
"Who are they?" Karyk asked. "And why can they only be stopped before the conquest begins? What will change once they enter my world?"
"The beings that threaten your world, and the ones which destroyed mine..." she replied cryptically. "They aren't Elzerians. The Elzerians are just 'their' pawns..."
"They are unlike anything you could ever have encountered. They are powerful, relentless, and driven by a hunger for destruction. They seek to consume everything in their path, leaving only chaos and despair behind. They are beings that shouldn't have existed in this universe."
"They are the ones whose darkness even eclipses the abyss. They are the ones that Elzerians address as Divine Archangels."
