Chapter 942: The place he was born
Chapter 942: The place he was born
In an unknown void, a voice came, that was heard by only one other person. “You made your presence known when you saved him. You know what that means.”
“I understand. The Angels know that we are still alive. But I could not watch. If he had died…”
“Do you really believe that he is ready to find out?”
“If I didn’t think that, I would not have sent him there. I would not have sent him to the place where he was born.”
“You have taken a big risk by sending him there. This time, even you won’t be able to interfere. The casualty has already taken a heavy toll on you this time. You are dying…”
“It doesn’t matter. Even if I die, I can’t let him die. If I exchange my death with his life, it is a worthy trade.”
“You truly are a fool. Just how far can you go for him?”
“If I am a fool, then let me be. If only I was a fool in the past, then maybe we wouldn’t be here.”
There was only a moment of silence. The silence was broken after a long time when the first voice was heard again. “Does it hurt? Watching your existence being erased by the casualty, slowly.”
“It hurts a lot. If possible, I wanted to see more. But it seems that’s not possible. I will be erased forever, but you must live. You just watch over him. You are the only person now… You are the only person that I can trust.”
“I will watch, but I will not interfere.”
“You say that, but I know that you are also a fool. But I do hope that you won’t need to interfere. Because when you do…”

As Karyk stood there, facing the creature that emerged from the sea, he couldn’t help but feel a lot of curiosity.
He did not understand what this creature meant by calling him the child of heaven. Did he mean a god? Because as far as he knew, heaven wasn’t a living being. It was just a term that mortals gave to the gods above. If heaven did not exist, how could it have a son? The only thing closest to heaven were the Gods like Chaos that he heard so much about. “Thank you for saving me. But I don’t think I can be called a Son of Heaven, as I don’t even understand what that is.”
“You don’t understand? But you came from the sky, just like they had come…”
“They? You are saying someone else came as well?”
Karyk frowned at the realization that Aexin could have fallen here as well. He could not use his abilities here, but that did not mean Aexin could not. “Did you see another person that came from the sky around the same time as me, or after me?”
“I only saw you falling from the sky. There was no one else that came with you. But the Children of Heaven came long before you.”
“The Children of Heaven, as you call them, came from the sky like me?”
The Whale affirmed. “They did. They often come and then leave shortly after.”
“They can leave as well? I see. So they are able to use their abilities here. It’s either that, or they have something that allows them to avoid the restriction of this place.”
Karyk didn’t know how he could use his abilities here, but he had a clue now. These were the Children of Heaven. “Where can I find the Children of Heaven? Is there a city somewhere?”
“I don’t think you can reach that place. If you are not a Child of Heaven, it is impossible.”
“I don’t know if I am a child of heaven, but I still want to find them. There are a few things that I need to know. I know you already helped me a lot. But can you help me one last time?”
“This… It is dangerous. I-I can’t help you. I will die if I am caught near that place.”
“You can take me as far as it is safe for you. After that point, I will travel by myself. Is that better?”
Karyk didn’t force the Whale. There was no way he could force such a creature when he couldn’t even fight something like an ordinary bear in his current condition. The Whale looked a little hesitant. After thinking for some time, he gave his answer, “I can’t. I thought you were a Child of Heaven, so I helped you. That’s the extent of what I can do. If I do anything more, even if I don’t go near that place, my mother will beat me.”
“I am sorry, but I will have to leave.”
The Whale turned around, clearly not wanting to help. Even it was scared to go near that place for some reason. Karyk knew that it was getting harder to convince the Whale. It didn’t want to do it, no matter how much he tried. *Alright, can you at least tell me how far I have to travel and the directions?”
If he could not take the Whale’s help, he could still try it himself. It was better than sitting idle, waiting for his death.

Gabriel had been traveling with his sister and friends in the new city. It was the first time he had properly come out with them. This world was very weak by his standards. He specifically selected it because it was most similar to their world, while also not being dangerous for them. Even if the people here were strong, they weren’t comparable to even Novius and Cylix, let alone him. Gabriel went with his sister to play games on the street, where rewards were given on success. He also helped her with a lot of shopping, carrying her stuff. However, along the way, he suddenly stopped. “That…”
“Brother, can we get that?” Zena turned around, but she was surprised to find her stuff on the ground. Her brother was not there anymore. Far away from Zena, Gabriel jumped over an old wall, landing inside. There, he saw a Temple which looked similar to the temple of Archangels in Elzeira.
