"Oh, and one more thing." The cold woman spoke further. "I was also the one who sent them information about you being in this world. How else do you think they found you so fast after you escaped from that place?"

"I thought that just with your information, I could trade with them for access to their World. Who would've thought that you would make it even better for me by sealing the world! Even though it surprised me, it was perfect! You did even better than I expected!"

"I got so many benefits thanks to that!" The woman felt so elated the more she thought about how Karyk's actions went above and beyond her plans in helping her!

"The harder you made it for those people to get to you, the better it became for my trade with them! They had no choice but to ask for my help after all!"

"I was just hoping for access to their World. But thanks to your extra help, I not only received an opportunity to go there, but also a god tier Sword that directly attacks the soul of a person along with a high position in that place!"

"Since you did so much for me, how could I let you die without a nice reward."

The woman came closer to Karyk again, this time, directly placing her lips on Karyk's bleeding lips.

"Treat this as a reward for you." She licked her lips that were also covered in Karyk's blood, as if the blood was tasty for her. It was the taste of her success! It was the first time a God was going to die here and it was all at her hands!

Moreover, once she killed the biggest enemy of the other world, she could only get more influence in the future!

She pulled out his bloody sword again. This time, she placed the tip of her sword on Karyk's forehead. "Now that you know everything, you can die in peace. I hope you don't hold any grudges against me. It was all business after all..."

Thrust~

Her sword moved forward, passing through Karyk's skull directly.

Karyk didn't make a single noise even as he was killed. It was as if he didn't want to give her any satisfaction anymore!

After a few seconds when the Goddess of Light pulled out her Sword, Karyk's body dropped to the ground, lifeless.

She stretched her arms, lazily yawning. "Finally done! Even though it took a long time, I finally succeeded! Now I can start a new chapter of my life!"

Her eyes looked at the sky, as if longing for the other World where she could have even more opportunities for growth. Even the weakest Royal Guards in the other world were God-Tier after all. As for Demigod-Tier beings, they could be found everywhere!

That world was filled with over a hundred times purer magical energy after all! It was a dream for people like her to go there!

And finally her dream was about to become a reality!

****

"She really... So it was all because of her that we went through so much?!" Alion clenched his teeth, trying to control his anger! He wasted close to a thousand years of his life, all because of that woman and he didn't even know about it!

He didn't know how the battle ended after all! He only knew that Karyk died in that battle! He had always assumed that Karyk died at the hands of the people from the other world!

"So she planned everything! She guessed everything about your future actions in advance and planned all this! Amazing! What incredible planning skills!" Jia muttered, stunned.

She couldn't even plan for the next twenty four hours, let alone make a plan involving the strongest god of this world and the mighty beings of the other world!

There were so many variables! If a single thing had gone wrong, or if someone had found out about what she planned, then she would've been dead a thousand times over! Just her conviction alone made Jia stunned. Everything went according to her plan! Even the strongest fell for her schemes!

Hearing Jia's praises for the woman that he hated the most now, Alion couldn't help but glare at her. "How about you go work with her instead since you like her so much?!"

Jia could only scratch the back of her head, blankly. She had completely forgotten that this wasn't the right time to praise that woman.

Alion rolled his eyes and didn't pay more attention to her. Instead, he turned back to Karyk. "What I don't understand is why she didn't do everything to kill you this time? Why did she share a fragment of Element of Light with you? Is this another of her schemes?"

Gabriel didn't know how to respond himself. Even he didn't understand what the woman was planning for the time being. Not only did that woman not try to kill him, but she also made him stronger.

"Not just her, you also received a Fragment of Darkness," Alion further stated.

"You're wrong. I didn't receive the Fragment of Element of Darkness," Gabriel clarified. "It's much more accurate to say that I snatched it accidentally when my soul was under attack. It's only the Element of Light that makes me wonder."

"Could it be... That she wants to use you like before? She wants to make you stronger so you can once again become a public enemy and help her rise even higher?" Jia exclaimed, throwing another possibility.

"She doesn't need to give me the Element of Light to make me a public enemy," Gabriel responded. "Did you forget who I am? Just my identity alone is enough to make me the public enemy."

Gabriel couldn't see directly into the other world from where he was currently standing. However, he still remembered the general direction.

He gazed at the clear sky, thinking back to the time he had left this world for the first time. He didn't expect that so many things would've happened after he returned.

"I don't know what she is planning. I don't care either. All I know is that this time, I'll make her life worse than a living hell!"

****

In an unknown place, that was filled with many times pure magical energy, there stood a woman, covered in a beautiful white gown.

The woman stood on the balcony, looking out at the sky that was currently covered in dark clouds.

A dark robed woman appeared behind the Goddess of Light out of thin air. "Lady Theia... Your request to meet the Lord has been approved. Please follow me."
