Karyk, still trapped in the memories, watched Chaos return to the realm of gods. He thought that Chaos was going to be considered the hero of the Realm of Gods because he protected it, but things weren't that simple.
More than feeling grateful to him, many wondered how that trash was able to defeat someone as strong as Ezekiel. Just what secret was he hiding?
Instead of thanking Chaos, they started interrogating him. But they were careful since Chaos had just defeated Ezekiel. They couldn't underestimate him.
A few days passed, and news finally spread about Chaos creating an artifact that had helped him in the battle. The unknown artifact made them all concerned, especially since that could only be controlled by Chaos.
However, they also received information that the artifact wasn't complete yet. This was an opportunity for them.
And thus began the first war, in which everyone surrounded Chaos' house. In that war, most of the Gods fought against Chaos, while no one stood beside him in his support.
Even his own brother Janus was a part of the enemies. In the battle, Chaos killed a large number of gods before he was finally taken down. He was killed by his own brother, Janus who was the person that leaked this information in the first place.
After Chaos was killed, his artifact ended up in the hands of Chaos. It was a bracelet with over twenty special gems attached to it. Unfortunately, no one could control the bracelet, which slowly corrupted the entire Divine Realm.
At that moment, Janus suggested that they couldn't keep that item in the Realm of Gods, but they also couldn't let anyone else control it. However, destroying it was also impossible.
So he suggested the bracelet be dismantled, and all gems to be tossed in the Spatial Chaos so that even they didn't know where these fragments were. The gods agreed with the plan, and didn't find it suspicious. They did exactly that, and that's how the bracelet and the fragments ended up in different galaxies.
At that moment, it was the end of it... It was the end of Chaos... Or do everyone think, not realizing that he had already prepared a Vessel to be reincarnated into. And that vessel was none other than Ryder Flynn, a human on earth.
Thanks to the Divine Author's vision, Karyk knew more than the others. He saw how Chaos reincarnated in Ryder. With Ryder becoming stronger, Chaos also became stronger.
And the person who helped Ryder become stronger was none other than Janus, the person who had stabbed Chaos in the back in front of every god.
Karyk was surprised to see the reality. This was all a trick of Chaos, who already knew that things were going to get messy when he intervened and defeated Ezekiel. It was only a matter of time before the truth about his artifact was revealed.
That's why he took the help of Janus. He had Janus leak this information so he could win their trust and everything could go as he planned.
There were two main reasons behind his actions. First was that the Bracelet and the Gems needed thousands of years to gain energy, which wasn't possible in the Divine Realm. But if he himself tossed it in the spatial chaos, then the energy fluctuations were going to alert everyone. So he had the Gods do that.
As for the second and most important realm, it was that he wanted to be killed! He was bound by the Heavenly Oath, which couldn't be broken. However, tied by that oath, he felt restricted, as if a part of him was missing. He felt incomplete.
With his death, he was finally free of the Heavenly Oath about not using the abyss, ever again.
And so, over a thousand years passed and Chaos finally recovered. He freed himself from Ryder.
Seeing that scene, Karyk was quite taken aback. It reminded him of his own situation with Gabriel. Him and Gabriel were similar to Chaos and Ryder in a sense. They were one, yet they were different.
After freeing himself, Chaos gathered all the fragments and returned to the Realm of Gods, after which, it was only bloodshed and nothing more!
When Chaos returned, he took everything back, eventually forcing the Ancient God of Creation to come down. The Ancient God of Creation was one of two Ancient Gods from whom all the gods originated.
In the end, there was only one battle. It was a world shaking battle between Chaos and the Ancient God of Creation. To win the battle, Chaos sacrificed his soul and his entire existence. He disappeared with the Ancient God of Creation, sealing both of them inside a Sword that was lost in realms unknown.
Moreover, since Chaos had to sacrifice his soul to seal the God of Creation, he had to sacrifice every single fragment of his soul, including the one which was inside Ryder. But that meant Ryder's death.
Fortunately, Chaos didn't allow Ryder to die. When he took back the last fragment of his soul from Ryder, he had the second ancient god's soul fragment enter Ryder.
At that last moment, Ryder was finally an independent person with no connection to Chaos. That was the last moment Chaos was seen. Everyone in the Realm of Gods knew that he disappeared, but no one knew if he was alive or not.
Even the Divine Author couldn't see it. The Divine Author tried to see into the future fate of Chaos and Ryder, but that was too much for him.
Strangely enough, the memories stopped right there. It didn't last until the moment of the Divine Author's death, and Karyk's consciousness was pushed out.
He finally landed back inside the Ancestral Temple, where every single tomb started shining in a mysterious light. The entire Ancestral Temple started shaking, as specks of light came out from all the tombs, being absorbed by Karyk's body.
....
The Goddess of Light had stopped out of the hall, receiving her own inheritance. Her control over Light had finally reached its peak, but to her surprise, it hadn't evolved. She didn't gain the element of life.
As she was on her way out, she felt the entire Temple shake, including all the passages.
