Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

There was complete silence as three people stood in the middle of the desolate street.

The silence was finally broken by Jia.

"It wouldn't be wrong to say that the Death Star was the leader of his generation. I don't know how much you know about the era before the gods, but it was said that the Death Star was the first person to become a god in this world."

"He was also the one who opened the path for other humans to become gods by destroying the balance of natural forces."

"Some called him god, some called him a demon. However, what remained unchanged was that no one could stand before him, or oppose him. Even though the other gods didn't fight with Karyk together, it was clear that they weren't a match for him."

"Fortunately for them, Karyk didn't look for trouble with them either. For the most part, Karyk was a loner himself, only having a few friends... If those people could be called that."

"For a long time, there was a fragile power balance. Karyk didn't look for trouble with the other gods and the other gods and avoided interacting with him. However, there were two Gods who didn't avoid Karyk... It could be said that they were also the reason this fragile balance was broken..."

Even though Jia hadn't met with Karyk before, but since Karyk was the legendary figure from the forgotten era, there were a lot of stories about him that were passed down. Fortunately, no one dared to fake stories related to Karyk.

"The Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Nature?" Gabriel asked. Jia said that Karyk only talked with two gods. Gabriel had already experienced Karyk's interaction with the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Nature, so it didn't take him long to guess that.

"That's right." Jia was slightly taken aback. At times, Gabriel was as if he didn't even know the basic things about Karyk's past, while at other times, he knew a lot.

"The fragile balance was soon broken when Karyk fought with the Goddess of Nature. No one knows why the two of them fought but the result is still widely known. It was said that Karyk not only defeated the Goddess of Nature but he also imprisoned her in some unknown place."

Gabriel remained silent, hearing about Karyk's past. He already knew why Karyk fought the Goddess of Nature, but he didn't talk about it. There was no need for others to know.

"It was the first time Karyk had gone against another god, showing his true strength. Not only did this break the fragile power balance between two sides, but it even scared the other gods, making them worry if they could resist when Karyk came for them with his army."

"It was said that the time was so tense that a large-scale war could've started at any moment where billions of lives would've been sacrificed. Fortunately, someone interfered and stopped it."

'The Goddess of Light...' Gabriel thought. He already knew that after Karyk imprisoned the Goddess of Nature, the Goddess of Light came to him and blackmailed him into imprisoning his own army to satisfy the other gods in exchange for the stone of destiny.

"Even now, no one knows what the Goddess of Light talked about or how she convinced Karyk , but when she returned, the news spread that Karyk had agreed to compromise with the other gods."

"To ease the concerns of the other gods, Karyk agreed to seal his army for a thousand years, weakening his own strength in the process. This outcome didn't completely satisfy the other gods, but the tensions were eased. At least the other gods had faith that they could fight Karyk now if he attacked them."

Gabriel already knew up to this point. However, what he truly wanted to know was what happened after this point.

Fortunately, Jia didn't stop there. "That was where everyone thought this would end. Unfortunately, that was just the start."

"For over three years, Karyk disappeared. No one knew where he actually went but no one saw him in the coming years. There were many rumors at that time, like Karyk was hiding now that he had lost his army, or that he was creating another army. The rumors were endless."

"Disappeared for a few years?" Gabriel frowned, glancing at Alion. Jia was only telling what she heard and what the people of that time knew. However, Alion was much closer to Karyk. Gabriel was sure that he knew exactly where Karyk went.

"Don't look at me like that. The little girl also knows where Karyk went at that time." Alion rolled his eyes. Even though he was still irritated that the girl told Gabriel what she shouldn't, but he didn't interfere.

Jia still didn't pay attention to Alion and continued, "After three years, Karyk appeared once again. There were some wounds on his body. It was unclear how he got hurt, but his aura was very unstable."

"According to the people who saw him at that time, he looked as if he was extremely weak and he could die at any time. Even his clothes were covered in blood."

Jia could see that Gabriel was extremely immersed in her story. It was as if he could imagine Karyk standing in the middle of the streets, covered in blood and injured.

She didn't find it odd. She knew that she was also like that when she first heard this story from the others. Unfortunately, she didn't realize that Gabriel's immersion was different.

Gabriel wasn't just visualizing what she was saying. Instead, he was living that scene! He didn't know why, but he felt as if he stood exactly where Karyk stood at that time, covered in blood and heavily injured. Even his own heartbeat was racing.

He could feel the pain that was coming from the depths of his soul, as if he could really experience it.

It was as if he alone stood in this world, facing what others would've called invincible.

"Even in that condition, Karyk didn't go back to his palace to recover. He stood in the middle of the City while his blood kept dripping on the ground."

"That was the day where Karyk cast a spell that was never before seen in this world! A spell of this scale and this magnitude... Let alone before that time, but even in the future, no one saw something similar."

"Even though I wasn't there at that time, but even I saw the phenomenon that could be seen from all around the world. In fact, I don't think there wasn't a person in this world who didn't see it!"

Jia raised her head, looking at the sky as if she could still see that phenomenon even now.

"That day, the entire sky turned dark! The sun was hidden behind a dark mist. The beautiful blue sky turned dark. I can still feel the chill."

Jia wrapped her arms around her body as if she was freezing. Gabriel could also see some traces of fear in the eyes of the little girl… something he never saw before.

"It became so cold that day, as if even my soul was going to freeze! That was the day I saw the true strength of the Death Star! That was the day when I truly understood why everyone in this world was so scared of him!"
