Chapter 762 762: Sealed Heart
Three days passed. Ezekiel and the Villagers remained in the Village, yet surprisingly Janus didn’t arrive. Even though everyone was waiting for one final battle with a powerful god who was going to arrive for revenge, marking the end of their quest, it didn’t happen.
The Village head was frowning, pacing back and forth as he grew impatient. He was also worried about what was going to happen if Janus didn’t arrive.
It happened to be a coincidence that the gods arrived in their village when they escaped from the Realm of Gods. It was why the Villagers didn’t need to find them, but it was different with Janus.
Janus was much older, and probably the strongest god from the Realm of Gods. His knowledge was incomparable to other gods that were killed.
He had fought side by side with Chaos as well, learning a lot of things. What was even more irritating was his Ability, which made it impossible to find him.
If he wanted, Janus could hide in the cracks of space for an eternity, waiting for the right moment to strike when they had their guard down. That’s why they were relying on the impulse of Janus. Unfortunately, their bet seemed to have failed.
Even Ezekiel was slightly surprised that things didn’t go as planned. If Janus was the only god remaining, then he should’ve arrived here for revenge.

He had lost his family, his home and even his army. He had nothing left, so how could he control his anger? Something felt out of place.
One thing was certain by now. It was that Janus wasn’t going to arrive impulsively, so waiting here was futile.
Ezekiel finally decided to leave this place. But he didn’t take the Villagers with them. Instead, instructed the Villagers to continue the search. They had only one enemy left now.
“I don’t have much time left. So before I disappear forever, I want to remove the last threat. That’s why, you must find him at any cost,” he reminded the Villagers.
Although the Rebel Gods were strong, the Villagers were unique in their own ways, having a higher possibility of finding Janus.
With his instructions, Ezekiel opened the portal and left for the Realm of Gods. He wanted to take Gabriel with him as well, but Gabriel chose to stay behind, saying he wanted to stay in the Upper Realm for some time.
With a sigh, Ezekiel nodded and left with the Rebel Gods. However, he left a soul mark on Gabriel which could alert him in case Gabriel was in danger.
In the entire upper realm, there should’ve been no one who could harm Gabriel but with Janus at large, he didn’t want to take any risk.
After Ezekiel departed, the Villagers also left to search for Janus.
The Village that was once full of life with Gods and the ‘mortal’ Villagers was now vacant, with only Gabriel standing there.
He glanced at the empty Village before he left as well. His revenge was over. Caen was dead. As for Janus, he didn’t think about that at the moment, leaving that for Ezekiel to handle.
For the next few days, Gabriei traveled through the Southern World. This was the world where he had first arrived when he left his world with Karyk. This was where he fought and took the invitation to attend the General’s Banquet.
This was also the place where he had last seen Karyk before he left with the Generals.
“Was the betrayal worth it?” he asked, looking at the sky as if talking to Karyk. He didn’t expect an answer.
He was certain that Karyk was alive. But since he couldn’t feel any connection with Karyk, he felt that Karyk had intentionally cut the connection. Not only that, he forgot everything about revenge and sided with the Generals.
Gabriel still felt anger toward Karyk for that. It was akin to a betrayal for him, especially since they were here to have revenge on the Generals. But his other half had forgotten his purpose, completely abandoning everyone.
Gabriel wanted to rush to him and ask him why, but he didn’t want to hear the answer. He didn’t even want to see Karyk’s face as he was certain that he was going to kill that Traitor if he saw him.
By not doing anything and siding with the Lord of Upper Realm, Karyk hadn’t just betrayed him but also everyone back on earth that had died.
He didn’t want to kill Karyk but he felt inherent hate in his heart. That’s why he didn’t even want to see that man’s face.
After exploring the Southern World, he went to the Eastern World. He didn’t know what his purpose was. He was just aimlessly walking through the world like a lost traveler.
Along the way, Gabriei passed through many cities. People still lived in fear in those cities, especially after going through the recent events. Still, life was slowly returning to normal and the broken structures were being repaired.
The worst hit was the Western World which was completely destroyed. Everyone in that world had died in a stray attack. Billions of lives were lost, and nothing but rubble could be seen.
Lastly, he entered the Northern World. Previously, he had to take a special flying boat to get to the Northern World, but he was very different now.
In a single step, he walked through space and appeared in the Northern World.
He walked to the clan where he had taken shelter when he first arrived here. The clan was abandoned, not a single person in sight. It was all because of his order as well, since he had told the clan to disband after they tried to kill him.
Still, he was curious about the Patriarch’s daughter, wondering where she ended up. She was much different than her father, and he held no negative feelings towards her. After observing the place, he left.
In the best step, he appeared outside the Beast Region where he met the Rebel Gods and the Beast Monarchs. Gabriel walked from one place to the other, as if he was trying to remember his past, recreate it to feel something in his sealed heart.
