Chapter 953: Jealous of humans
He might even be considered a monster after some time when people realized that he was not growing older. He was not sure what would have happened then. Only one thing was certain. If that world was not destroyed in the war, his future really could have been different. His sister would have grown older and died. Gabriel would never exist. He wouldn't have to go to the Upper Realm to save his sister. The other Holy Lords wouldn't have become his enemies. They wouldn't have awakened either, so their world would have been normal, forever remaining unaware about the existence of others worlds. In that case, he might never have met the Upper Realm's Lord. The reason Elzeirans were able to open the seal to their universe was because of Gabriel. He brought the Elzeiran Princess to the Upper Realm. If Gabriel did not exist, and he was still in his world, the seal would not be destroyed either. The Elzeirans would still exist, but they would never know of his existence. Maybe that was the only way he could have lived an ordinary life. "Sometimes human greed causes consequences far beyond their expectations. And many unrelated people get trapped in those consequences..."
So many things had happened. Many words had been destroyed. Even more lives were lost. And all of that could have been avoided if the humans hadn't destroyed their own world in wars. "Humans sound very dangerous." The Mother Whale grimly stated. She did not know what kind of beast the so-called humans were. But if even Karyk talked about them in this manner, it was clear that they weren't simple. "Dangerous... I suppose you are right. Their weakness becomes their strength. Even if they lacked physical strength, they were able to compensate for it."
"If only they used this intelligence for something better, it would have been so much better."
Another day passed. "We are reaching near the land," the Mother Whale stated. Karyk could not see the land. But he believed the Mother Whale. She could see much farther, especially since he could not use his abilities. "Do you see any Children of Heaven?"
"I don't see any. But that might be because we will be reaching a different area. I can't go to the City directly. Still, I will have to be careful."
Another hour passed and Karyk was finally able to see the land. This time, it did not look like another Island. It was a proper continent. He had finally reached his destination. The journey that might have taken him over a year on a boat, was completed in three days. He was expecting the Mother Whale to drop him right here as she did not intend to go to the surface. But she went further. She went even closer to the shore, before transforming into her human form. She held Karyk's hand, helping him up as she walked on the shallow water, reaching near the shore. "Are you not returning?" Karyk asked, remembering her saying that she wasn't going to go to the land with him. "I changed my mind. Since I am here, I will accompany you. I don't know how much help I can be, but I should be able to protect you as long as we aren't going against a Child of Heaven."
She did not want Karyk to fail. But she also remembered that Karyk was weak now. She was much stronger than him. After hearing his words, she was more convinced that he was someone she wanted to help.
