Chapter 951: The Key

He couldn't help but think of the worst. "The Children of Heaven... Can you describe what they look like?"

"Most of them look very different. Some of them look like you when it comes to physique. The others look like completely different Species," the Mother Whale answered. "A group consisting of various species?"

Karyk frowned. He did not know much about the Archangels. He only had Aexin as a reference. Was it possible that every Archangel looked like they were part of a different species? That looked highly unlikely. The statues also possessed a humanoid form with wings after all. It also did not make sense for them to work with different Species when they considered themselves Overlords. 'Could it be that the ones here are not Archangels, but still related to them?'

He thought back to the Elzeirans. They were also related to the Elzeirans and knew a lot. But they were slaves of the Archangels. Even if the beings here were not Archangels, they could still be related to them. Just to confirm his suspicions, he asked again, "Did they have wings?"

The Mother Whale nodded. "Some of them did have wings. But they did not look like you. They looked more like beasts. The ones who looked like you did not have wings."

"If you are scared, how long can you guarantee your safety? How long can you protect your son? How long can you protect your home?"

He knew it was wrong to do this, but it was the only thing he could do without his strength. He could only use her emotions to make her help him. "Just because you go there, doesn't mean they will notice you. We can enter the land without being caught. All you need to do is get me there. I can handle the rest myself."

"After taking me there, you can return to your son. I won't force you to walk the land with me. But in the end, the choice is yours."

"Will you take your fate in your own hands? Or will you live at the mercy of the people that took your everything?"

The Mother Whale was truly scared. But she wasn't scared for herself. She was scared for her son. If she went to the surface and was caught, she might be killed. But that wasn't all. Her child might be dragged in this as well. It wasn't just her life that was on the line.

Even if her child wasn't dragged in this mess, who was going to protect him if she died?

Most of the Whale Species had died in the massacre. Only she had managed to survive. There was no one else to take care of her son. "I know how alluring the thought of giving up can be. But if you give up now, you might lose more than you will protect. So, will you come with me?"
