They only thought that this was the baby the young man had in secret, worried that his family might harm his bloodline. And now that he was an Emperor, he brought out the baby in the open.

Karyk saw everything in these memories, which came as a shock to him! That baby... It was none other than him! He wasn't the son of people he thought of as his father and mother! Instead, he was somehow related to Karyk!

For a moment, he went completely blank, watching the life of the Emperor progress, without paying any attention.

The Emperor had a daughter after a few years, giving a sister to Karyk. The Empire continued progressing by leaps and bounds. However, the weapon technology also kept getting more and more dangerous.

With time, the other Empires also started to create weapons of their own, as if it was a race on who could create the worst weapon of mass destruction.

In the end, it all led to one huge disaster when a war finally happened. Most of civilization as people knew it, was destroyed.

The flames of war caught the entire world, burning everything in sight... Karyk had always wondered how he managed to survive in that war when all the people in the city died.

He didn't know if he was lucky to survive that war, or unlucky. However, now he had a feeling that there was more to his Survival than he thought!

At the moment of the explosion, his consciousness was pushed out of the dream. It returned to his body.

He sat before the tomb in silence. He didn't even know what to think. His family wasn't his family... he was always kept in the dark. This made him feel that he had been so naive. He had lived two lives, yet he didn't know a single thing about it. He didn't even know just where his real family was, or who were his real parents.

However, the biggest question in his head was about Chaos. He didn't understand just who he was to Chaos... How was that man related to him? Why did that mean leave him to a mortal if he was that strong? It was like a puzzle where most of the pieces were still missing.

However, he knew one thing for sure. The only person who could answer him was Chaos, the ancient being who was already said to be dead...

****

In one place, Karyk was questioning his own existence.

Meanwhile, in another place, Gabriel was going through a conundrum of his own. A Demonic floated before him, made purely of Abyssal energy like the beings that were controlled by Caen.

Initially, he couldn't understand the language that it was speaking. However, after a few moments, the Demon did speak in a language that Gabriel understood.

"Free me!" The Demon asked Gabriel, in a voice that appeared to be coming straight from hell.

Gabriel frowned in response. He couldn't see any shackles around that demon, so what was he asked to be freed from?

"Are you asking to be free from this space?" He asked, wondering if the guy was like him and wanted to leave the Abyss. "If that's the case, I can't do anything. I'm trapped here myself."

The Demon shook his head. He raised his right hand, and tried to gather the energy of the abyss around him. However, as soon as he did so, he felt a terrifying pain.

Thousands of mysterious chains became visible around him that were keeping him in this space, making him unable to use even the slightest of strength.

"These Chains..." Gabriel frowned, taken aback. When these chains appeared, even he could feel how strong they were. Compared to these chains, the chains created by Karyk's Worldly Spell appeared like child's play.

"Who trapped you here?" The young man asked, wondering if it was Caen. If that was the case, then their enemies were the same! If he could free this guy, then they could find a way out! He could help him get revenge!

The Demon was emotionless initially. However, as soon as he thought of the answer, a terrifying Bloodlust covered his entire body, which even made Gabriel move a few steps back.

"Chaos!" The Demon spoke, as the murderous aura around him intensified. "I will kill him! I will kill everyone associated with him! I will take everything from him! Free me! Arghhh! Free me!"

As the Demon lost himself in his intense enormous, he kept struggling fiercely. Even though he felt bone chilling pain everytime he struggled, he didn't care at the moment. It was as if he had lost his mind!

"Chaos?" Gabriel asked, remembering that Chaos was the same person who was behind everything that the Beast Monarchs went through. In his eyes, Chaos was no different than Caen, who sent him here.

In that way, he felt that he was similar to the Demon before him. Both of them suffered at the hands of people who thought they were gods, to play with the destiny of others!

Gabriel asked the Demon, "If I free you, can you take me out of this prison?"

"Free me and I will grant you freedom from this place!" The Demon roared as he continued struggling. "I will fulfill any one wish of yours, as long as you free me! Even if it involves bathing this entire universe in blood! I only want to destroy that man and everyone he loves!"

"I want the destruction of the Realm of Gods! Can you do it?!" Gabriel inquired.

He still hadn't forgotten how Caen took everything from him, including the last bit of family that he had. He couldn't let that man live in peace, no matter what! He had to destroy that person as well!

"I will destroy that place even if you don't ask!" The Demon responde in a grim time. The Realm of Gods was his target as well, since that's where Chaos was from!"

"How can I free you?" Gabriel asked, deciding to do it. No matter what, he had to get out of the Abyss. He couldn't just wait for his death here!
