1020 Chapter 1020: Past sins
....
Three days later, the sky above the city of Titans lit up. One after another, the entire sky was covered in portals, from which the Angels descended.
The Angels were not only more in numbers but they were also stronger than any that came before them. There was one angel in particular which stood out from the rest.
If Karyk was here, he would have recognised that person through the memories of the Angel he had devoured. This person was one of the High Council Members and the father of the first angel he devoured.
Karyk had thought that these people were going to send powerful angels that served the high council but even he hadn't thought that someone from the High Council was actually going to come here personally.
He had underestimated how seriously the Angels took the matter of a few of them disappearing, especially when one of the missing was the son of a high council member.
"This place..."
All the Angels were surprised as they saw the sight below them. There were no signs of any city being here. All they saw were signs of destruction which destroyed everything that used to be at this place.
There were signs of battle, where one side was clearly an angel. With the disappearance of the Angels, it was clear which side had won the battle.
The High Council Member didn't descend on the ground, his expressions solemn. He just watched the scene while the other Angels went down to investigate.
The angelic warriors tried to find out who was the one that the Angels were fighting. It was impossible for it to be titans. The titans could never threaten them.
"None of the traces here match any high clan," an angel flew up to the High Council Member after finishing the investigation.
They thought that it was another high clan that did it, but the traces said otherwise. They were the traces of another angel.
Was it the battle between two angels? That was impossible.
No angel had left the city of angels in the recent few weeks, so it was impossible for there to be two angels who fought here, unless the group that came here fought amongst themselves.
The angelic warriors looked at the High Council Member for his response, but he was completely silent.
The angelic warriors couldn't feel it since someone had intentions erased a presence, but he could feel that the traces of the other angel were corrupt.
It wasn't the aura of a pure angel but an abomination that was tainted with an aura of death. Someone had tried hard to clear the traces of that disgusting aura, but it was impossible to remove it all.
With how disgusting this aura was, it reminded the High Council member of something. His expressions grew darker. He was one of the members who had gone to the world of civilization after they were corrupted.
The last time he felt this aura, it was in the disgusting well that was sealed by them.
It had only been a short time since the world of civilization had disappeared along with the well in thin air, and now this?
He might have considered it a coincidence, but recently a long forgotten portal stone had been used. It was the stone that was given to the forgotten prince by the pure angels.
The stone was supposed to bring someone to their city, but no one appeared there even when they felt the stone activate. It made them think it was just their misconception, but now he realized that he was over optimistic.
"Is the past returning to haunt the present?" he mumbled under his breath. "It seems like the forgotten prince has decided to pay us a visit but he's too shy..."
He turned around, a portal opening before him. He couldn't even collect the remains of his son as there was nothing left.
"Good. Now that you are here, we will definitely show you a great welcome." He entered the portal.
The other warriors stood behind, confused. What were they supposed to do? They weren't given any command. Were they to continue trying to follow that trace or were they to return?
With no clear instructions to search, they also decided to return, stopping the chase. They weren't sure that they could find that person even if they tried. It was better to wait for further instructions.
....
While the Angels arrived and left from the city of Titans, Karyk had already gone far away from that destination.
With the memories of the Angels, he had the entire map of this world in his mind which helped him learn the location of various clans including the high clans of this world.
Initially, he wanted to destroy all the Angels as soon as possible, not for now, he wasn't in a hurry.
Angel-like wings spread on his back as he flew over the vast forest where he had appeared when he first entered this world.
The forest was still as huge as ever, but now he knew the route better. He had a Target in his mind as well, which was a clan with an important ability.
It was also something that could help him a lot in his path to perfection and his battle against the Angels that was to come.
For some reason, he thought less about the Angels and the battle with them and more about gathering information from various species through devouring their kings and queens.
He could devour the ordinary clan members but that wasn't enough. Usually, the kings were the perfectly evolved form of their species. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
For the next few weeks, a strange phenomenon occurred. Various cities turned into ghost cities as the clans kept disappearing.
No one knew who was making it happen but with time, the information had reached all high clans. Some of the devoured species worked for the other high clans after all.
Another strange thing was that it didn't follow any route. Sometimes clans in the North disappeared and other times in the South as if it was the work of more than one person.
