Chapter 483 483: After We're Done
Alion brought some fruits out of his storage and handed them over to Gabriel and Jia. Ever since they came from the Nether Realm, none of them had eaten anything.
Jia took the fruit. Even though she was hungry, she was somewhat surprised that Alion could be so relaxed in this situation. He still had the appetite to eat?𝚗𝐎𝚟𝐄𝓵𝑵𝑒xt.𝓬𝔬𝑚
While she was still standing like a statue with the golden fruit in her hand, she noticed that Gabriel also sat on a nearby rock, taking his first bite of the golden fruit.
“Is it from my palace?” He glanced at Alion. He still remembered the day over a thousand years ago when he had someone plant some trees in his Palace, just for these golden fruits.
The fruit didn’t exist in this world at all. The seeds of the golden tree were brought back by Gabriel from the Upper Realm. Unfortunately, he left for the Nether Realm right after he had these seeds planted.
After that, he didn’t have time to return to his palace. It was the first time he was tasting the fruits from his castle.
“Where else can I find it?” Alion smiled. “You should see how big the trees have become. Almost half your garden is covered with those trees. In fact, there are fruits but no one to eat them. After we are done here, I’ll take you to see the garden.”
Gabriel revealed a long lost smile, as if time had reversed to a thousand years ago. He still somewhat missed that time. Everything had changed in this world ever since he disappeared. Now this world was beyond recognition to him.
It was a good thing that Alion was still his same old self, without the slightest bit of change.
“My sister should be up by now. Even though she won’t have any memories of the past, but maybe that’s for the best.”
He didn’t want his sister to remember all the destruction that the world faced, including the fact that her soul was devoured by him last time.
In fact, even if she hadn’t lost her memories, he would’ve found some way to erase her memories. As much as he wanted his sister to remember him, he wanted her to live a life without worries and regret of the past even more.
“The little brat won’t remember me. But she would be happy to know that she has two brothers. I do wonder what kind of back story I should tell her to not make her suspicious.”
“Two brothers?” Alion was slightly taken back before he understood. He couldn’t help but feel happiness from the depths of his heart. Gabriel had been all alone ever since the era of gods started. He had no family!
At the same time, Alion also had no family at all. He didn’t even know how the two of them became friends in the past, but to think that Gabriel was giving him a family… Now he had a sister as well, and a brother like Gabriel!
Since Gabriel’s sister didn’t remember her past, as long as they told her that they were her brother, it was the same as Alion becoming her real brother.
Alion couldn’t help but clench his fist, swearing in his heart that even if he had to sacrifice his life, he would protect his sister… He could finally experience what it was like to have a family.
“We should have a celebration when we go back.” He revealed a bright smile, gazing at the beautiful moon above them.
Gabriel nodded in response. Even though he hated what happened a thousand years ago, he was also happy at the same time. This way, he got to understand just who were his real allies and who were the traitors, just pretending in the past.
He had a suspicious nature in the past but after the betrayal, he realized that he wasn’t careful enough. If there was anyone in this world he could trust, it was Alion!
Around three hours passed. None of the three had made any moves. In fact, it all depended on when and how Gabriel wanted to move.
Instead of going inside the city, or attacking directly, Gabriel was lazily lying on the ground, gazing at the Star filled sky. It was as if there were still some things he had to decide on.
Moreover, all three of them were tied. They had been on the move all the time, ever since they entered the Nether Realm. It wasn’t good to attack the City unprepared.
If he was alone, he didn’t care much about how tired he was. However, Alion and Jia were different. They needed proper rest to give the coming battle their all.
“The execution of the day after tomorrow. Should we attack the City tomorrow or wait for the last day?” Alion’s calm yet peaceful voice came.
Gabriel glanced to his left, noticing Alion resting with his back against a rock.
At their levels, they didn’t need much luxuries. Even a rock or the barren ground was fine enough for them. In fact, Alion felt no different between resting on a throne and how he was currently resting.
If anything, Alion was more distracted by the coming battle.
Even though it looked like a battle against the Temple of Time, in reality, it was a battle against all the forces of the world.
He wasn’t naive enough to think that the Churches hadn’t sent people to the Royal City. If anything, he believed that almost all the Churches had probably sent all their Head Priests who were currently in the Royal City!
Moreover, he was also convinced that almost all the Holy Lords were inside! Once the battle began, it was going to be hard!
Thanks to the Temple of Time’s assistance, all the Holy Lords would’ve had their abilities enhanced. He knew just how tricky the Temple of Time and their tricks were, after all.
It wasn’t the same as fighting a Holy Lord in the past this time!
“Do you really want to attack the City, knowing it’s a trap?” On the other hand, Jia thought a little differently.
When they knew it was a trap, why were those two men so insistent on attacking the City? Was this the pride thing that the men often talked about? Or was the woman who was to be executed really that special for Gabriel? She had no idea.
She hadn’t known Gabriel for a long time as she only recently came to this world. In fact, she didn’t even remember ever seeing this Avilia or what she looked like at all.
“What do you think?” Gabriel broke his silence and asked.
