Chapter 929: When he comes
How did this happen? One moment, everything was in their control. Her brother was alive. Their army was strong and the other side was weak. They had opened the portals to the other universe by breaking the seal. They succeeded. All they had to do was wait and invade that world. Everything was going right for them. So how did she end up here? What went wrong?
She had lost the favour of the Archangels. Her brother had died. Most of the Shadow Guards that she brought with her dead. Even the Leader of the Shadow Guards was on the verge of death. She was left all alone in this world after losing everything. In the sky, the Leader of Shadow Guards was killed, his head flying high. He couldn’t heal. Blood rained from the sky, staining the earth and the chaotic ocean. “Ha… Haha… Hahaha….”
The Elzeiran Empress looked up at the sky, drops of blood falling on her face. “She is laughing now? Does she still have some hidden card?” Aliac pondered out loud. “It’s more like she has gone crazy after seeing the end of her legacy,” Ryder commented. He had seen this scene many times in the past. This was a person who couldn’t believe what was happening in her life. “Hahahaha!”
The Elzeiran Empress dropped on her knees, laughing like crazy. “It’s over. It’s all over….”
As she laughed, tears also appeared in her eyes. Ryder and Aliac watched in silence, not feeling even the slightest of pity. “You have won… You have taken everything from me, except my life.”
Karyk looked at the lost Empress. Even he didn’t expect to see her like that. Was this really the end of this war? They had finally protected earth?
“I’m afraid it’s not easy to take your life. Since it belongs to someone else. Someone who hates you much more than I do,” he told the Empress. Just like the Celestial Empress’ life belonged to him, this woman’s life belonged to Gabriel. She had killed Ezekiel, who was dear to him. Ever since then, Gabriel had been looking forward to the day he could have his revenge.
Unfortunately, the Emperor died long ago. The woman was the only one left. Gabriel wiped the blood off his face, his beautiful yet deep gaze looking at the woman below. There was a time when people used to be on their knees before this woman. There was a time when he couldn’t even move when the woman looked at him. There was a time when he had to beg her to let Ezekiel live. There was a time where she was at the top of the world and he was at the bottom. And now, that woman had fallen from heaven. No, she was dragged down from heaven by him. And this was just the beginning. Gabriel came down, landing in front of the woman. The Shadow Guards were dead, and the war was basically over. With no one to command them, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers that were part of this woman’s army couldn’t do anything. If she had known this was going to happen… If she had more time… She would have tried to be more careful. She would have tried to get Karyk’s weakness, so she could use it against them. But time was what she didn’t have. She was blinded by her thoughts of winning the favour of the Archangels. She was also scared that Karyk could turn her army into undead, so she only brought the Shadow Guards. At the end of the rope, all her mistakes were flashing before her eyes. She could have changed this fate if she had killed Gabriel when she met him. She could have changed this fate if she hadn’t let Karyk escape from the Royal City. All those opportunities were lost. But still, she laughed even as tears streamed down her cheeks. “You are right. It is over for me. I have lost,” she said, amidst her laughter, wiping her tears. “I have lost, but you haven’t won either. Kill me now before he comes. I’ll go ahead and wait for you in the afterlife!” She had lost. There was no opportunity for her to capture Karyk and bring him back. As she failed even if she survived, she was going to be killed by the Envoy of Archangels who was going to be sent here. Instead of dying at his hands, she preferred losing her life to her enemies. At least she could become one with her brother in the afterlife. Instead of a coward who died because of her failure, she preferred to die in war. “Before he comes?” Gabriel’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard her. “Is your brother still alive?” There was only one person stronger than the force this woman brought with her. It was her brother and the previous Emperor. He had heard that the Emperor was dead. But hearing her words, he wondered if he was alive. Was it truly their plan to tell others that he was dead?
“He is alive?” Karyk was also surprised. Undead never lied, and he heard from the Undead Sea Emperor that the Elzeiran Emperor was dead. “My brother?” Hatred flashed in the woman’s eyes. “My brother died because of you! And now, you will also die!”
“Because it’s not my brother who will be coming. Instead, it would be someone who shouldn’t come here! Someone sent by them! And when he comes here, you’re all dead!”
“You’re all dead! Hahahaha!”
The Elzeiran Emperor laughed even louder, her eyes showing madness. It was hard to know if she was speaking such things because she had gone crazy, or if what she said was actually true. “Who is she talking about?” he wondered. “I can get the answer, but I’ll have to kill her for that,” Karyk suggested. “No need. I will just read her memories.” Gabriel refused right away. He placed his hand on the woman’s head, trying to read her memories. ….
In the Royal City of Elzeira, a blood red portal opened in the Royal Palace. From the portal, someone stepped out. As soon as his feet touched the land, the entire city disintegrated into nothingness.
