Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Karyk still didn't appear to care about what she was saying. Instead, he was more focused on a little bird which was sitting on a tree in the distance.

The little bird was feeding its hungry children. However, for some reason, the bird appeared to be somewhat injured. It was as if it was hurt when gathering food.

Even though Karyk didn't respond to Theia, Alion was different.

"What suggestions?"

Theia took a deep breath, as if she was very careful with what she was about to say next.

"What makes the others wary of you is your constantly increasing strength. If it was just you, it was still not worth concern for the others. However, you also have an entire army... The Forbidden Army that can destroy Kingdoms at ease. So my suggestion is that..."

Karyk didn't react but he was still listening to Theia, wondering just what this woman was suggesting. However, what she said next made him frown.

"My suggestion is that you seal the Forbidden Army for a thousand years," she spoke.

However, before she could even finish her statement, she felt a deadly pressure acting on her body, as if she was being stared at by the god of death himself!

Just as she expected, Karyk had finally turned around.

Even though his face was still expressionless, but his eyes were speaking a lot. It was as if he was looking down at her, telling her that she wasn't worthy to put such conditions before him.

"They are concerned about my Army?" Karyk asked in a seemingly calm tone. However, there were a lot of undercurrents in his statement. "How about I give them a chance?"

"What do you mean?" Theia asked, feeling as if something was amiss.

"What I mean is simple," Karyk responded. "If they're concerned about my army, I can simply give them an opportunity to destroy it. Let me send them to their territory to kill everyone that is associated with them! I won't interfere. If those gods can destroy my army, they'll get what they want."

Even though his words made it sound like he was giving a concession, but Theia understood that it wasn't a concession at all. It was more of a threat! Even if the Gods came and managed to destroy the Army of Undead, it wasn't going to be before their entire territory was turned into a graveyard, filled with rivers of blood!

Karyk's army was filled with undead with strength no less than Demigods after all! It wasn't wrong to say that the army was considered a big part of Karyk's strength!

Theia maintained her calm. "I know what you're implying, but remember, I'm not here to harm you. What I'm saying is for your own good. If you follow my suggestions, there will be three benefits for you which can't be ignored."

"What benefits?" Karyk asked.

"First benefit... With your army sealed, the other gods will calm down and won't be too wary. That will calm the current situation while also preserving everyone's strength," Theia spoke, finally picking up the drink.

However, she didn't drink herself. She stood up and walked to Karyk, handing over the glass to him. "The second benefit... After a thousand years, your army will be free. In the meantime without your army, you can truly focus on increasing your own strength. When your army awakens in the future, you'll be even stronger than you are now."

"If that's all the benefits that you talk about, then it's not worth it," Karyk responded. "I don't care about strength. And I care even less about what the others think of me. If they attack me, I'll kill them. If they don't attack me, I'll let them be."

Karyk returned the drink to Theia, not even taking a sip. He turned and walked back to the window. "If that was all you had to say, you can leave."

"Won't you listen to the third benefit?" Theia asked as a hint of a smile appeared on her lips. "I had a feeling that even you can't ignore this benefit."

Karyk didn't react at all. "Alion, show her out."

"Let's go," Alion straightened up, gesturing for Theia to leave the room with him.

Theia didn't resist. She turned to leave. However, before stepping out of the room, she didn't forget to say one last thing.

"Third benefit... Your sister."

After finishing, she stepped out of the room. However, she had only taken a step out when she found Karyk standing before him, appearing like a ghost.

Karyk didn't even think twice before grabbing Theia by her throat, pushing her inside the room.

"Speak!" His cold voice roared in the entire castle!

Karyk was usually very calm. So seeing him like this was shocking even for Alion who had been friends with him for quite some time b

"Destiny Soul Stone! I know where it is!" Theia spoke, not scared at all despite being caught by Karyk.

"This is the third benefit I can promise you, for de-escalating the situation!"

"Are you blackmailing me?" Karyk's expressions darkened. "You've grown quite courageous, haven't you?"

"It's not a threat," Theia responded. "Release me and I'll explain the entire situation. Or if you don't care about the Destiny Soul Stone, then you can keep holding onto me."

Even though Karyk was impatient, he still released the woman, pushing her back. "You have five minutes to explain before I lose my patience!"

"I've heard about what happened to your family and your sister. I also heard that you've been looking for a Destiny Soul Stone for a long time. If I'm not wrong, you want to bring the soul of your sister back?"

"Only a Destiny stone can recover a complete soul from thousands of fragmented soul pieces of a person. Without that, even you can't do anything. So, how about it? Is that benefit worth it?" She asked.

"To be honest, the Destiny Soul Stone isn't on me either. It's with another god. And as you can guess, with the current tense situation, it's impossible for you to get that stone from them. Even if you try to take it by force, they might just destroy it."

"That's why, I came here with the proposal to de-escalate the situation as soon as I found out the whereabouts of the Destiny Soul Stone. This way, I help the others get some peace of mind and get you the Soul Stone. It's a win-win situation and all it needs is to seal your army for a thousand years..."

"Thousand year long peace doesn't sound bad, does it, especially when it comes with a Destiny Soul Stone."

The more Theia spoke, the more she couldn't be ignored. She had already read Karyk. She knew that Karyk was a lawless God, who didn't care about offending or killing anyone. If there was anything that could be used to help him co-operate, it was something that could help him achieve his deepest goals and this was it!
