1043 Chapter 1043: Never forgetting the favour
Karyk's body trembled violently as the last fragments of the universe were consumed. His form began to shift, dark energy coiling around him like serpents.
The blood that he had lost previously started transforming into specks of life that were absorbed in his body.
The Watcher could hardly believe his eyes. This boy actually succeeded? But so what if he had awakened?
Even though he freed his consciousness after finishing devouring, he couldn't recover the life he had burned for that. His wounds had healed but his body was still in ruins.
From the outside, he looked completely fine but it was clear that his body on the inside was completely broken. It was like a wounded tiger who was pretending to be strong, trying to bite anyone around him even if he was dying.
With the awakening of the Angels, the Watcher thought that maybe it was for the best. Even if Karyk was free, he was in a mess and couldn't do anything against the Angels in their real bodies.
If anything, as he was right now, even angels in their false bodies could destroy Karyk, let alone the ones who had returned to their real bodies.
It was the perfect opportunity for Karyk to clash with them and realize the kind of despair that was waiting for him at the end.
Only when he realized the kind of existence he was facing and how it was impossible for him to win, could he be completely broken.
When Karyk was completely broken, they should finally sweep in and escape with him. He had already devoured the universal laws, so it was even better for them. It was as if they had received an extra surprise that benefited them.
Although it was shocking that Karyk succeeded, but they believed that it was for the better as it gave them more control over the situation.
Karyk's eyes narrowed, dark energy surging around him. "Are you sure you can take me away even if you wanted to?"
The Angel's laughter echoed through the void. "Such false courage. But look at yourself, Karyk. Your body is nothing but an empty shell. You ate more than you were supposed to and destroyed yourself."
"At this point, it feels waste that we had to awaken in our real bodies just to deal with a broken child and two people who don't know their place," another angel said, its sigh echoing through the various galaxies, destroying multiple words without any intention to.
The Watcher and his companion watched from a distance, their expressions unreadable. The Watcher whispered something to his friend, his words unclear.
With a wave of his hand, the Angel summoned a wave of celestial energy, engulfing Karyk. The dark energy around Karyk clashed with the celestial energy, trying to seal his body.
Karyk screamed in agony, his body convulsing as the energies tore at him.
But even in his pain, Karyk did not give in. The Angels waved their hand, a crushing pressure descending over Karyk. It wasn't just an external pressure that was affecting his body but also something that was hurting his soul.
He could feel an agonizing pain inside his body as the space around him started sealing up. He could feel the laws of this space trying to capture him. He couldn't even offer any resistance in his current condition as there was no life essence left to burn.
He could only get more by actually devouring the people inside the universe he had devoured. However, that was also a time consuming process which didn't help him in the situation.
He glanced towards the watcher who looked like he was concerned, but it was clear that deep down he was laughing, waiting for Karyk to be broken a little more, possibly even sealed before they were to jump in and help him just like they 'helped' the young prince after he was overtaken by the abyss.
Karyk could only laugh in response, spitting out a mouthful of Blood.
"I will definitely not forget this favor," he mumbled, gathering all his remnant abyssal essence at the top of his fingers.
