Chapter 542 542: Someplace Else
Two more days passed in the blink of an eye. The sun had set over the horizon, casting a colorful glow over the tranquil landscape.
As the stars began to twinkle in the night sky, a soft breeze picked up, bringing the sweet scent of blooming flowers. The evening air was cool and refreshing, providing a welcome break to many people from the scorching heat of the day. Crickets chirped in the distance, their rhythmic melodies creating a sense of calm and tranquility.
Unfortunately, the depths of the Southern World were completely void of all these. It was just an empty space, mostly disconnected from the outside.
Moreover, everyone was focusing on their work. Only the Goddess of Nature and Jia could occasionally be heard talking to each other.
During the last four days, the Goddess of Nature had already informed her everything about what happened with Karyk and why there were two people who looked alike.
Initially, Jia was stunned. However, she was also somewhat amazed that there existed a method like that.
She couldn’t help but wonder what other impossible feats the gods and goddesses were able to commit. As the days passed, Jia also told the Goddess of Nature about the workings of the upper realm and the delicate balance required to maintain order in the issue outside world.
Amongst the four of them, only she had lived in the upper world in recent years.
On the fifth day, Gabriel finally opened his eyes. His eyes looked serene, as if he was much calmer than he had to be in the past. The mark of his element of light and darkness looked even more refined, as if it had improved and could further improve even more.
Throughout the last four days, Gabriel immersed himself in understanding the core of light and darkness, thanks to all the knowledge that he had gathered.
Through that, he realized that even though light and darkness weren’t a supreme element on their own, the mysteries they possessed were incredible, especially when combined. They contained both holy power and unholy strength.
Gabriel was fascinated by the balance of power that light and darkness possessed. He wanted to explore their capabilities and harness their power to increase his strength. Moreover, he also tried to maintain the balance of this power in the spells that he created.
Initially, the few spells that he created were imperfect and unbalanced. It wasn’t wrong to call them unstable. Not only were they used to cast, but they also consumed more of his strength than he wanted.
During the last few days he had been working constantly, resting to refine those spells. He knew that even though spells that he created were powerful, but he could not win a battle against the Goddess of nature if he just relied on the unstable and imperfect spells.
Fortunately, his hard work paid off. Within just five days from start, he had managed to take care of most of the problems that were in his new spells, starting from their efficiency.
He had also found a way to incorporate the power of his bloodline itself into his spells, which gave him an advantage in his upcoming battle. With his newfound confidence, he took a deep breath and found the strength to face his opponent.
He finally stood up. After five days, he was ready to face the Goddess of Nature.
He glanced at the Goddess of Nature in the distance, who was looking back at him.
“I’m ready. However, I don’t think this place is suitable enough for our battle. Shall we go to some place where we can freely use our spells?” Gabriel asked. Even though the space here was vast, but it didn’t change the fact that this was still a closed space.
He didn’t want to accidentally bring the whole place down and disturb Karyk’s recovery.
As for going outside, that wasn’t dangerous for them. Since his element of light had become a completely new element now, he couldn’t be traced by the Goddess of Light. As for the people of the Upper World, they were only tracing after the one with the Element of Death, so he was free from that too.
He could easily leave without being detected. All he needed to do was find a barren place where they could fight freely.
The Goddess of Nature glanced in the direction of Karyk before nodding at Gabriel. “Looks like you’re very confident this time. Fine.”
She waved her hand, opening a void. “I already know a place like that.”
“Take care of Karyk.” She told Jia before entering the void. Someone needed to be here to take care of the guy who was lost in his soul meditation.
Behind the Goddess of Nature, Gabriel also entered the void, ready for the coming battle. In the end, only Jia was left behind, slightly frustrated that she couldn’t watch the battle.

The sky darkened and the winds howled as the clash between the Goddess of Nature and Gabriel approached. They stood in the center of a large field, each preparing to do battle.
This place was far away from any human settlements. Moreover, the Goddess of Nature also cast another layer of protection on the surroundings to make sure that the sound and the aura of the battle couldn’t leave this place.
This was the perfect place for the battle.𝑵𝒪𝓋𝐞𝑙𝐍𝔢xt.𝐜𝒪𝓂
On one side was the Goddess of Nature, her long hair billowing in the wind as she stared down her opponent. She had a look of determination on her face that showed she didn’t take Gabriel lightly, even though she was confident in her skills.
She raised her arms and called forth the power of nature to surround her, a brilliant green aura emanating from her body.
On the other side was Gabriel, his dark wings spread wide as he prepared for battle. He had the power of light and darkness at his disposal, and he was not afraid to use it. His eyes glowed with a strange determination, as if he knew he was going to win no matter what.
