Chapter 934: Cruel
Chapter 934: Cruel
Gabriel, Ryder, and Aliac stood before the looming portals that connected their universe to Elzeira. As they gathered their strength, Gabriel, with his deep understanding of ancient spells, began reciting incantations in the form of a world tier spell. His voice resonated with power, forming a barrier around the portal, preventing it from expanding further. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Ryder also maneuvered through the chaotic energy, slowly sealing the essence of the portals. Meanwhile, Aliac tapped into their innate connection with nature, channeling the energy of their world. Together, the trio pushed themselves beyond their limits. They could feel the immense pressure building, the weight of their universe hanging in the balance. With one final surge of energy, Gabriel, Ryder, and Aliac combined their abilities. Their powers intertwined, creating a synchronous flow of energy that radiated a brilliant light, illuminating the darkness that surrounded them. The unified force they conjured was stronger than anything they had ever experienced before. The portal trembled under the overwhelming force unleashed upon it, struggling to maintain its existence.
All three core points of the portals were targeted at the same time. In a climactic moment, the portals collapsed on themselves, imploding with a thunderous roar. The energy dissipated, leaving behind only a faint trace of its once formidable presence. Gabriel, Ryder, and Aliac stood exhausted as they looked at empty space where once a portal used to be. Their universe was now free from the influence and connection to other dimensions. The threat that had loomed over their world was gone, and their efforts had not been in vain. The fate of Elzeira couldn't affect their world now. With the portal sealed, Aliac sighed in relief. This had been his dream for such a long time. He had been guarding the portal in the Central World as he was worried about the Elzeirans entering their universe and destroying it. Now that the portals were destroyed, there was nothing to worry about. He was finally free. He didn't have to seal himself in the Central World. He didn't have to worry that if he left, the portals were going to open. "Finally... It is over."
He still couldn't believe that this was real. They had done it. There were so many sacrifices along the way, but they had actually done it. Ryder didn't show much reaction even after sealing the portal. He had a lot of thoughts in his head. He had joined this team in order to judge Karyk and Gabriel to see if he needed to eliminate them. With Karyk gone, all that was left was Gabriel. But in the end, he didn't do anything. "Since I made a promise to you, I will keep it. I won't harm them, unless they..."
He didn't finish his sentence. He opened a portal back to earth and stepped inside, returning to his family. Aliac also returned to earth. That was the only meeting place they had. It was also the place where he wanted to celebrate as that's where they came together.
The two of them had remembered Karyk's sacrifice, but it didn't affect them much.
The only person this affected the most was Gabriel, who stood there, feeling empty. Ezekiel was gone. Ezekiel had died trying to protect his family. And now, Karyk was also gone, trying to protect his family. Everyone he knew well enough... Everyone he was close to... They were all gone. "You must return! You just!" He muttered, looking at the place where the portal of the Central World used to be. He waited there for a long time for Karyk to return. An entire day passed as he kept waiting, but no one returned. With the portal destroyed, it was impossible to connect to this universe. Still he had faith that Karyk could return. He was someone who made impossible into possible. Gabriel remained there, waiting. A second day passed, but there was still no reaction. No one returned...
At this point, Gabriel was finally starting to have second thoughts. "You can't die. Don't go too far with this joke."
A third day passed, but nothing changed. The Central World was still covered in water from Elzeira, but the person he was looking for didn't return. Gabriel couldn't take it anymore. He had waited for a long time. He wanted to go back and check himself. He had left a mark on Elzeira before returning, expecting something like this. With the mark, he could open a temporary portal to Elzeira. He tried to locate the mark, no matter which part of the dimensions it belonged to. "Huh?"
He searched for the mark for a long time, but he couldn't find anything at all. The mark was completely erased. "It should have been impossible. That mark can't be erased, unless the entire dimension is destroyed."
The moment he completed his train of thoughts, his expressions froze. Karyk had sent him here, warning him to close the portal. This was the reason he did that. He knew that once that universe was destroyed in the battle, all of them were going to die there. Not just that, not all connected dimensions could also be destroyed. It was as if he knew this outcome. He knew that the Elzeiran Dimension was going to be destroyed. No... He destroyed it himself to erase the person who came for him as well. With the Dimension destroyed, not a single being in that universe could survive. It didn't matter if they were mortals or gods. Elzeira was completely gone. And it took everyone else with it. "You lied to me..."
Gabriel dropped to his knees at the realization. The words Karyk told him were all lies. He was never planning to return in the first place. Gabriel clenched his fist. His aura became unstable along with his emotions. A dark energy started spreading out from his body, as he felt like he was drowning in complex emotions. "There you are. Your sister kept asking me about you. She almost ate my head."
Hearing a voice, Gabriel raised his head, his eyes still blank. He saw Aliac standing behind him. And next to him was Zena... Gabriel and Karyk's sister. "Brother... Are you... Alright?" Zena asked. Even as she appeared slightly scared, she was more concerned about Gabriel.
