889 Chapter 889: Keep your enemies closer
“He can kill them?” Ryder asked again, finding it intriguing.
A god in this world could only be killed by another god who possessed Divinity. That’s why Karyk was able to kill the God of Lightning.
If he didn’t possess Divinity, he would’ve found it impossible to kill a god, no matter how strong he was.
Most people thought that an Elzeiran was an immortal being as not even another Elzeiran could kill them. But Ryder had always considered the possibility that it wasn’t the truth.
He was sure that they could also be killed. It’s just that the method to kill them was unknown. Just like one needed Divinity to kill a god, something was needed to kill an Elzeiran. And Karyk supposedly possessed that.
He wondered if it had something to do with this boy’s true origin. Was his original similar to an Elzeiran? Then again, even an Elzeiran couldn’t kill another. Was this boy’s origin even higher than the immortal beings?
He knew that he didn’t really know much about this boy other than the fact that he had a trace of Chaos’ life essence.
“I was even more surprised than you, but I saw it with my own eyes. With him around, I believe we have a good chance.”
“And Karyk, this here is the person I came to find. In this world he goes by the name of Ryder Flynn,” Aliac started introducing Ryder to Karyk.
“He is the person that can be said to be on the similar level as the being once known as Chaos,” he further added. “I’m sure you heard about the disappearance of Chaos?”
Karyk nodded. “He was killed in heaven, but he was reborn on earth.”
He further continued, “After recovering, he went back to heaven, where he fought an Ancient God. He disappeared with the Ancient God at the end of the battle. It’s said that both of them died together.”
“That’s mostly correct.” Aliac nodded. He had thought that Karyk had no interest in other people so he might not have known something like this, but he was surprised.
“Ryder is the person that Chaos reincarnated as when he first died. He recovered inside his body. And when he recovered, he created a new body for himself and left to wage war on heaven.”
“You can say, their situation is similar to you and Gabriel, but in reverse. Ryder still possesses all the abilities of Chaos, but none of his soul or divine essence. Meanwhile Gabriel possesses your divine soul but none of your abilities.”
Aliac finished explaining Ryder’s situation. However, even he didn’t mention it at all. In fact, even he didn’t know most of it.
He only knew why Ryder was alive, but he didn’t understand why he was this strong? Since Chaos had disappeared, Ryder should have died. But he was still alive.
He didn’t possess any of Chaos’ essence, but he did possess an unexplainable power that seemed to defy all logic. It was not weaker than the power of an ancient god.
Although he also wanted to know how this was possible, but he knew that there were some secrets that couldn’t be asked.
Aliac knew there was more to Ryder’s story that he had yet to uncover. Perhaps with time, the truth would reveal itself, shedding light on the strength that now resided within Ryder.

Aliac stood before the two of them, his voice sounding earnest.
“If we want to win it, we not only need a plan but also strength… Strength that can crush anything! And the two of you possess that strength.”
Ryder knew that it was directed towards him, since only he was uncertain about joining this unnecessary war.
He knew about the Elzeirans. Although he had never visited Elzeira, he knew more about them than even Aliac.
He wanted to deal with these problems himself as he thought that Aliac and the others might only drag him down. He also had to deal with the people who could be a threat to his child.
However, now that one of those ‘threats’ was standing before him, he knew that he couldn’t stay out of it.
‘Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.’
This was a saying on earth which he wholeheartedly believed in this moment.
“As I said before, I will work with you.” Ryder nodded. “But don’t don’t forget your promise.”
Karyk looked at Aliac, wondering what promise these two were talking about. In any case, it was none of his concern. He was only surprised because this man looked like Chaos who was his savior and like a father he had never seen.
But this man didn’t even have a small fraction of the soul of Chaos. He was just a stranger to him who looked the same as the King of Gods.
“That is much better.” Aliac smiled. However, he suddenly thought of something and turned to Karyk.
“That reminds me… How did you even find me? No, before that… Weren’t you in Elzeira to gather information? How are you back so early? Did something go wrong?”
He had a lot of questions about Karyk’s sudden appearance.
“Gabriel told me you were on earth,” Karyk answered. “It was easier to find you after that. As for Elzeira… It is a long story.”
“We have time.” Ryder chimed in as he walked over to the couch. He sat down and picked up the glass of wine. “Since your friends are here, they can also listen.”
As he took a sip of wine, he tapped his finger on the wine glass lightly. Multiple spatial cracks opened in the middle of the room.
Gabriel and the others stepped through the portal, as if a mysterious force had suddenly pulled them inside. The entire group appeared in the middle of the great hall inside the Central Mansion.
