Chapter 739 739: Energy Crystal
For generations, the realm of gods has remained unparalleled in its strength. It had been the strongest existence, where the strongest beings in the entire universe lived.
Most of the people in the universe didn't even know about the existence of the Realm of Gods but the ones who knew about them understood just how terrifying that place was. Even the weakest people from the Realm of Gods could destroy worlds with a flick of their fingers.
But now, that same Realm of Gods was fragmented, divided into two sides. One side was the Gods that were considered rebels in the last War of Gods and were forced to escape to save their lives. Now that side had control of the Realm of Gods.
And the other side was the one that survived the War of Gods and was under Caen, the Prince of the Realm of Gods. For everyone, it was clear that Caen's side was stronger than the rebels on its own, but with the mix of Ezekiel, things became complicated.
Most of the world remained unaware that the two sides were preparing for a war that held the potential of destroying the entire Upper Realm.
Even the Lord of the Upper Realm was unaware of the trouble that was brewing. He had enough troubles of his own, to the point that he hadn't been paying attention to much else.
Still, the Lord of the Upper Realm knew that there were some gods who had been staying in the Southern World of the Upper Realm. He didn't spy on them much. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't because of a protective barrier being cast there.
The only way for him to check was to send the Generals to the location, but he preferred to not do anything. So far, the Gods hadn't done much to affect the Southern World. So he also let them be.
All he knew was the place where they were staying and nothing about their purpose, but he could guess a few things. He had already sensed the energy of Ezekiel when he was fighting in the Upper Realm.
Because of that, he was certain that something big had happened in the Upper Realm which forced the Gods to escape. He wasn't sure if Caen was in the Southern World as well.
He didn't inform Karyk about this, believing that Karyk hated Caen. He didn't want Karyk to wage a war against Caen if the young prince was in the Southern World.
He kept this information a secret for the time being, at least until Karyk was done finding his sister and he had calmed down a little.
"I wonder if he found his sister." The Lord of Upper Realm looked through the portal, still being able to see the destruction of Karyk's World.
He couldn't see into the Nether Realm so he was unclear if Karyk found what he was looking for.
After a while, he turned his attention to Avilia. The young woman had just come back to life, which was incredible, no matter how many times he thought about it.
Even after such a long time of death, Karyk brought someone back to life. That made him believe that Karyk was more important to his goals than he thought.
He patiently waited for Karyk to return. At the same time, he gave some Energy Crystals to Avilia so she could also recover her strength and grow even more.
"Eat the Energy Crystals. This should be of help to you. But just remember, the entire process will be very painful."
Amongst billions of souls, Karyk had only brought this girl back to life. That just showed that she held some importance to him, no matter how insignificant. He thought that it never hurts to make a good impression on her.
Avilia took the Crystal , which was brimming with strength that she never felt before. It was impossible to find something like this back in their world. In a true sense, it was a godly item.
Avilia wasn't sure if she could trust the Lord of Upper Realm or not. But Karyk asked her to stay with the man, which made her believe that he trusted the man to some extent. So she also decided to trust him.
She didn't care about the pain. She only wanted to be stronger so she didn't die so pitifully next time. If his words were true, she wanted to take the risk.
She placed the crystal in her mouth, and ate it at that moment without any preparation.
As soon as the crystal was absorbed by her body, a surge of energy coursed through Avilia's body, causing her to tremble in both pain and fear. It was as if her body was being broken apart by this terrifying energy.
But she clenched her fists, determined to endure the pain and push through but it was proving to be extremely hard. She couldn't control herself from screaming in pain.
The pain intensified with each passing second, but Avilia refused to back down. She summoned every ounce of willpower within her to resist the urge to give up.
Her screams had filled the entire hall. The Lord of Upper Realm sealed Avilia in a unique space so her screams didn't hurt his ears.
"I told you it was going to be painful. But at least the pain won't kill you. So bear with it. You'll be able to benefit a lot from it."
The Lord of Upper Realm sat on the Throne, watching Avilia twist and turn in pain.
His attention soon turned towards the Portal, from where he saw a few people enter the hall.
The person in the Lead was the one he was waiting for. It was Karyk. But next to him, there was a young girl who looked the weakest out of all of them. But Karyk appeared the most protective towards her.
In the back, Novius and Cylix follow Karyk, and lastly, it was Karyk's oldest friend, the Demigod of Strength.
