Chapter 884 884: Strange People
“This is earth?” Karyk asked as he landed in a foreign land that felt strange. He had been to many worlds, but Earth felt different.
Most of the worlds at least had some traces of heavenly elements, but this world was completely void of them. He would’ve even confused it with Elzeira if Elzeiran elements weren’t missing either.
Even as the essence from Elzeira was invading their universe, earth had managed to remain untouched for some reason.
“This is indeed earth,” Gabriel affirmed. He had come to this world to protect Ezekiel from the Princess of Elzeira once. He was certain this was the right place.
“Why would Aliac come to this weak world?” Karyk pondered, stroking his chin thoughtfully. “Is there something of value here that we are not aware of.”
Gabriel nodded in agreement, his eyes scanning the horizon. “There appears to be a god who lives in this mortal world. I think Aliac wants to turn him to our side.”
“A god that Ezekiel failed to kill?” Karyk asked, quite interested in that God for whom Aliac had personally arrived here.
Ezekiel had wiped most of the gods but he also couldn’t kill the one residing on Earth? This was also surprising to him.
He had a feeling that the reason the essence of Elzeira had failed to invade this world had something to do with that person.
“How long has it been since Aliac came here?” he asked as he focused on the location of the nearest city.
Once he finished locating the nearest city, he opened a portal.
“It should’ve been over a week,” Gabriel answered, stepping inside the portal with Karyk.
“Over a week and Aliac is still staying here? It looks like he hasn’t succeeded in winning over that person yet,” Karyk muttered, stepping out of the portal.
He found himself in the middle of the road, noticing a lot of vehicles racing past. The vehicles were different from what he saw in Elzeira. These ones appeared to use no magic for some reason.
He tried contacting Aliac through his divinity, but strangely enough, he failed to reach him. It was as if Aliac was somewhere where even his divine consciousness couldn’t reach.
He stood in the middle of the road, lost in thoughts. Because of a group appearing in the middle of the road, the traffic came to a halt.
The sound of horns started responding. A few people also started scolding Karyk and his friends from their cars.
“What are you doing? Clear the path!” A bystander stepped forward, grabbing Karyk’s wrist who was still lost in thought.
“Do you want to get arrested or something?” The bystander asked Karyk who was looking confused at him wondering why he was pulling him.
Karyk glanced at the man, who appeared to be just a mortal. Even if the man attacked with all his strength, he couldn’t leave a scratch behind on them. The young man wasn’t a threat.
“You are…?” Karyk asked, slightly confused as he freed his hand.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. Next time don’t walk in the middle of the street unless you want to spend the night in jail.” The man rolled his eyes. He picked up his bag that he had dropped while pulling Karyk back.
After picking up the bag, he left the group behind, not wanting to engage with these weirdly dressed people any longer.
“Such strange people. They are lucky that I saved them,” the man commented while walking away.
He had only traveled a short distance when he suddenly stopped. His eyes widened, looking at the man before him.
“H-how did you get here?” he asked, shocked.
The group that he had left behind was standing in front of him now. He looked around, noticing something strange. He was back on the spot where he met the strange group as if he hadn’t moved even an inch.
He rubbed his forehead, wondering what was wrong with him. Was he hallucinating?
He left once more, but the same thing happened again. He found himself right in front of Karyk again. He was stuck in a time loop, unable to break free.
“We are new here. Would you be able to guide us for a little?” Karyk asked the young man who felt like he was going crazy.
After trying a few more times, he finally gave up, dropping on his knees. He couldn’t escape this cycle. Read Web Novels Online Free – NovelFire Novel Fire – novelfire.net
“Is this somehow your doing?” he asked Karyk. Although he didn’t want to believe it but there was no other explanation. These strange people were too suspicious, and not just because of their attire.
“Are you talking about the endless circle you’re stuck in?” Karyk inquired.
“It is indeed my doing.” Gabriel stepped forward, reaching out his hand to help the man up. “We are in a hurry. So would you please guide us? Once you’re done, I’ll free you and even give you some rewards.”
“H-how can you do something like this? Does magic really exist?” The man stood up, amazed that these people were actually able to do something like this.
He had always thought that magic was fake. It was just the sleight of hand that magicians used to fool people and sell out their shows. But what he saw had gone far beyond the scope of sleight of hand.
“Where do you want to go?” the man asked, holding firmly on to his bag.
“We want to find someone. Is there a place where we can go for that?” Gabriel asked the man.
They could use their abilities to create a large-scale disturbance so they could draw Aliac. But they didn’t want to be misunderstood. They were here to find Aliac and not to wage a war after all.
“You can go to the police station if you want to file a missing person report. They should be able to find the person,” the man said. He started leading Karyk and the others to the Police Station.
“Did you lose a child?” Along the way, he asked.
“He’s thousands of years old. I doubt we can call him a child,” Gabriel honestly stated as he followed the man.
