Chapter 841 841: That child...
Karyk forcefully entered the woman's memories. Since his world's fate was on the line, he didn't care about being right or wrong. He didn't care about what steps he had to take. Since he was just looking through her memories and not actually harming her, he didn't think much either.
As he entered her memories, he experienced the moment of her birth. From the birth itself, the woman was conscious. She remembered everything, including the expressions of her father when he was embracing her.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
Intrigued by the depth of her memories, Karyk delved further and witnessed the woman's childhood filled with joyful moments spent with her family. He also got to experience the world of that era, which was ruled by the Celestial Dynasty.
However, to his surprise, that Dynasty was nothing like he expected. It was a world consisting of many species, each having a different physical trait. And the most important amongst them were the Titans, who were Giant Beings, akin to the person in the statue.
At first, Karyk had thought that the statue was of the previous king, since the size of the throne was so huge. But reality was quite different. The Titan wasn't the King. Instead, they were ordinary citizens of the Celestial Dynasty.
They were the strongest when it came to raw strength and also the most trusted by the Emperor of the Dynasty, who was the father of the woman.
Unlike Elzerians, the Royal Family of the Celestial Dynasty didn't have a limit on their life span. They could live for an eternity if they wanted. Unfortunately, they didn't have the invincibility of the Elzerians either since they were much easier to kill.
Karyk lived through the girl's memories, where she was trained to be the next Queen. She was also taught all the principles of life and death by her father who helped her the true law of death in this world.
Along with the woman, Karyk also learned the secrets that were only supposed to be known by the Royal Heirs of the Celestial Dynasty.
It was just as Karyk had expected. The world worked on completely different principles than his universe. Even life and death worked differently here, which was why he had always failed to control the dead here.
Learning through the memories, he received the answers to most of the questions that were plaguing his mind.
The training of the woman continued, and so did Karyk's learning. With each second that passed in the real world, Karyk was living through hundreds of years of memories of the girl.
"Are you sure you don't want to listen?" A voice came from the other side as another figure stepped forward.
Even though Karyk couldn't see that man's face, he was able to see the back of the person.
The person did have a humanoid physique, but he was also very different. The person had twelve ethereal wings coming from behind his back, akin to an angel.
Looking from behind, Karyk couldn't help but find familiarities between this person and the statue that he had seen when he first came to this world. At least both had similar physical characteristics.
He had lived for hundreds of years inside the girl's memories, but he had never once seen a species like that in the Celestial Dynasty.
"That child..." the Emperor spoke, his voice loud.
However, before Karyk could hear clearly, Karyk felt a dangerous sensation, as if his life was in danger.
Karyk's consciousness returned to his body, as he jumped back, barely avoiding the sharp threads that were coming straight for his throat.
He conjured an aura sword, cutting the remaining threads that kept chasing after him.
On the other side, the hooded man was standing next to the woman, checking to see if she was fine. After confirming that she wasn't harmed, he looked at Karyk, his eyes filled with anger.
The woman also slowly opened her eyes. As Karyk's effect on her consciousness was over, she slowly regained her consciousness.
The woman stood up, looking at Karyk. She couldn't recall what had happened from the moment Karyk touched her. She felt as if she had been through a dream, remembering her younger days.
"What did you do?" she asked, rubbing her forehead, feeling a slight headache.
