'Why would I wipe out a city for no reason?'

He shook his head, walking through the street. Almost everyone here was talking about the same thing, which made him quite frustrated.

At the same time, he even wondered just who was behind this. It wasn't easy for someone to wipe out an entire city. Even for him, it was almost impossible to kill everyone without letting anyone escape to tell others who did it.

He kept his thoughts to himself and continued to walk, trying to blend in with the crowd. He needed to gather more information before making any move.

Thanks to the others, he also heard that many children had started going missing in the city and the nearby cities around the same time before it happened.

For the next few days, the news only increased. More and more cities were getting wiped. What was worse was that the Four Generals weren't here to stop it!

According to the information, the Four Generals had left for a meeting with the King and this was also the time when all these problems started.

Until now, many people hated Karyk but many didn't care about him because he only targeted big people. However now, there was only negativity about him. Every single person hated him in the Upper Realm.

Even Gabriel couldn't control himself as he heard about all the cities being destroyed. However, this also reminded him of something when he heard about the disappearance of children.

It wasn't long ago before one of the Death Generals had told him about what happened on the way when they were coming to the Northern World to find him.

They also found a place where only children were killed, only to have their blood be sacrificed over a statue. However, the Generals did say that they destroyed everyone in the clan.

Despite that, Gabriel couldn't help but wonder if this was still something related to it. Because of this, even the people who stayed out of the conflict between the King of Upper Realm and Karyk were starting to take a side.

The entire Upper Realm had United against him!

****

The God of Flames kept destroying cities, to bathe the statue in blood. Moreover, the more he killed, the more he started enjoying it! It was as if he was slowly becoming a psychopath.

Because of receiving so much blood, the Statue also started changing more.

Even though the statue looked normal on the outside, there were multiple spiritual chains around it that couldn't be seen by ordinary people! Even the God of Flames was only able to see those Spiritual Chains when he became a true god of flames!

Even he couldn't break those chains, which were stronger beyond his imagination. However, thanks to the blood filled with resentment, the chains had finally started breaking.

At the start, there were seven spiritual chains. However, now only two were left. The Statue was also starting to sound excited as his curses for Janus only increased.

"Just you wait! As soon as these last two chains break, we shall give you a living hell!"

A few days ago, it was time for Karyk to finally go to the Central World.

However, as soon as he came out of his room to meet the Four Generals, he saw a familiar figure in the back which stunned him!

Not too far from the four generals, there was a beautiful woman standing, dressed in a beautiful white dress that had not a single speck of dirt.

The person was none other than the woman he entrusted his back to, in his last life! It was also the person who stabbed him in the back. She was the last face he saw when he died in his last life. Moreover, it was also the face of the person he hated the most!

Karyk was still in disguise and he didn't have her element of light anymore. So he didn't believe she could recognise him, when even the Four Generals couldn't recognize him!

However, his heart was also filled with anger. His hands were behind his back, clenched into a fist, as if he just wanted to grab the neck of the woman and kill her! However, that would've spoiled his opportunity of entering the Central World.

His hands started bleeding, being clenched so tightly. However, his face maintained his calm and respectful expression without a single change.

The Goddess of Light also glanced at Karyk.

"Is this the Disciple you selected?" She asked, smiling.

Even though she couldn't see anything abnormal about Karyk, she didn't know why, there was a strange feeling in her heart. She herself couldn't understand this feeling.

She stepped closer to the young man, and brought out a small fruit from empty space.

She reached out her hand toward Karyk. "This is the Wisdom Fruit. Treat it as our meeting gift..."

Karyk reached out his hand and took the Gift, not showing anything out of place. However, in his mind, he had made a promise that he was definitely going to give her a gift in return. There were many things he needed to pay her back for, after all.

"Are you Master's friend?" He asked respectfully. However, in reality, he only wanted to grab her neck and crush it right before his eyes, smashing her face on the wall again and again.

He calmed himself, thinking it was only a matter of time. First, he needed to know her purpose.

"I guess you can call us friends."

The woman smiled innocently. However, in her response, the Southern General rolled her eyes. "Your friend? Not in this lifetime at least. We all know what happened to the last person you used to call a friend."

The woman's smile faded, replaced with a look of discomfort.

"That's not relevant to our current situation," she replied.

The Southern General rolled his eyes. "I still don't trust you. I don't even know why His Majesty kept you alive!"
