Chapter 935: Changed Fate

“Take care of Zena.” FiNd 𝒖pd𝒂tes on n(𝒐)/v𝒆l𝒃𝒊n(.)c𝒐m

That was the only thing that Karyk asked from him. She was not a sister by blood for Karyk. She was only a part of the family in which Karyk had been adopted. But still, he never treated her like an outsider. Even after knowing the truth about his complex origin, Zena was still his sister for him. She was as real as a sister could be for them. Zena was the person that kept them grounded. No matter how broken this world became, she was their anchor. Tears streamed down Gabriel’s face as he realized how cruel Karyk was. “Did he tell you to do this?” he asked Aliac. Aliac pretended to be completely ignorant about this question. But after being glared at by Gabriel, he came clean. “He told me that he might never return. And in that case, you would be really broken. He told me that the only person who can bring you back and keep you sane is Zena.”

“He told me to help you with Zena if you were ever lost. This was his last request for me.”

Aliac sent his response through his thoughts, making sure that Zena didn’t hear it. Gabriel lowered his head. “You are really cruel. You gave me this immortality. You gave me your family. You gave me this peaceful world, and a life worth living.”

“And in exchange, all you kept for yourself was pain. You gave me a family. You gave me friends. You gave me everything, while staying all alone yourself. You cruel liar…”

Tears kept streaming down his face. Zena came forward. She couldn’t fly originally, but with Aliac’s help, she was able to walk on the air. She didn’t know why her brother was crying. Why did he look hurt? She felt hurt, seeing her brother cry. She stepped forward and went down on her knees, hugging Gabriel tightly. “Karyk is never coming back…” Gabriel said, not wanting to hide anything from Zena. “Who is Karyk? Is he a friend of yours?” Zena asked, seemingly confused. Gabriel raised his head, frowning. “Did he…”

He realized something. Karyk had expected his death long before he entered Elzeira with him. No, he was prepared for death long ago. He knew that it was inevitable with the kind of people he was against. He was the person that the Archangels were after. Only with his death, could this quest of Archangels stop. Karyk had erased Zena’s memories about him before leaving, so she didn’t get hurt with the news of his death. Zena didn’t remember having two brothers. In her new reality, she only had one brother. And that brother was Gabriel. For quite some time, he looked at Zena’s face. Zena wiped his tears. “Did you have a fight with a friend?”

Gabriel nodded. “With my best friend. He is too cruel.”

“He sounds like a bad guy.”

“He is the worst.”

“Why do you feel sad for such a bad person? He’s an idiot for fighting with my brother. He should be the one crying, not you!”

“He really is an idiot… An idiot who was left all alone at the end of the road…”

….

[Three Days later]

A great calamity was stopped that could have brought destruction to this entire world. Yet most of the people in this world never even knew about it. Gabriel left earth with Zena and his friends. No one knew where he went. He didn’t even inform Aliac about this. It was as if he had just disappeared to unknown corners of the universe. Aliac returned to the Upper Realm. The first thing he did was clean water from the Central World and kill all the beasts that had managed to enter through the portals before they were sealed. He also started showing himself more often to the other worlds of the Upper Realm. He was no longer the Ruler of the Upper Realm that never showed himself. He actively participated in the matters of the Upper Realm. He had realized the importance of creating a powerful force. He started many training academies throughout the upper realm that could help people break through their limits. He named the Academy, “Karyk’s Academy of Magical Excellence.”

The person who was once considered the greatest criminal of the Upper Realm and was chased to the ends of the universe to be killed, had become the hero of the Upper Realm. God’s Realm, on the other hand, had become desolate. No one lived there anymore. The structures of the past still existed there. The library that contained great secrets was still present. Even the Royal Palace in the center of God’s Realm was completely intact, except the broken roof that was caused by Janus. In the center of the palace, there was a pond where four fishes used to swim in the past. Next to the pond, there stood a man, looking at the calm waters. In the last, there used to be four fishes in the pond, all signifying a character of this era that was favored by fate. It was said that only one of them could live by the end of this era. Surprisingly enough, there was only one fish in the pond now. As for who that fish represented, no one knew. “Did he change fate by stopping the invasion?” The person in the hall muttered, looking at a single fish floating in the water. “Does it mean I don’t have to break my promise to him…”

He turned around, and just as silently left the Palace, his footsteps echoing in the silent hall. The man opened a portal outside the Royal Palace and stepped inside. The other end of the portal opened at the sealed depths of a pyramid on earth. In the depths, a person was sitting in the ground, chained and unable to move. “It seems there was no need for you to go that far, Janus,” Ryder stated. Janus weakly raised his head, his eyes were still filled with hatred. “Did you already kill the other two?”

“There is no need to kill anyone. The fate appears to have changed.”
