Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

"Did they trap you here?" Gabriel asked. This was the only thing that made sense. 

The Beast Overlords shook their heads lightly. "We aren\'t sealed here. We are simply using this place to hide and survive. Funny, isn\'t it?"

"The so-called Beast Overlords that the entire Upper World is concerned about are nothing more than prisoners of their own fear?" The Beast Overlord continued. 

"Is this the reason why you don\'t attack humans who enter here, unless you\'re attacked first?" Gabriel inquired. 

In response, the Beast Overlords maintained their silence.

After some time, one of them continued. "We just don\'t want to fight. It\'s a waste of our time. Also, we are too lazy to bother with the people in this world. However, you aren\'t in a different boat either." 

"What do you mean?" Gabriel asked, not grasping completely what they were trying to say. 

"Since she didn\'t kill you, that means she has accepted you as that person\'s heir. That also means you... You have become a part of this fight as well, whether you like it or not. Sooner or later, you\'ll start attracting their attention. What will you do at that time?\'

"Chaos had been sealed forever during that war, but Janus... He still guards the throne for his nephew. When he finds out about you, do you think he\'ll let you be?"

Gabriel didn\'t know why, but he couldn\'t understand anything that these people were saying. It was as if they were talking about something that he had no inkling about. 

Who was Janus? Which throne were they talking about? Why were they being hunted? There were so many questions in his head. He hadn\'t even finished dealing with his own matters yet, and there were already more headaches?

"You still don\'t get it, right?" The man smiled. "Don\'t worry. The reason we brought you with us was to see a few things for ourselves, and to tell you the reality that you might not know yet."

The Beast Overlords brought Gabriel to the tree that was the tallest in the entire Beast Region. The aura around the tree was as pure as it was near the pond where Gabriel had met that mysterious woman. 

All the Beast Overlords sat near the tree, which was marked with mysterious patterns. 

"Do you know about the War of Gods?" One of them asked. 

"The War between the Upper Realm and the Nether Realm?" Gabriel took a guess, replying.

All the Beast Overlords looked at each other blankly before bursting into laughter. 

"That isn\'t even close to what we\'re talking about. We\'re talking about the War of True Gods that have existed since the beginning of time..."

Gabriel didn\'t respond. He only shook his head lightly. 

In another place, even Karyk was curious about what he was going to hear. He had a feeling that this had something to do with the reason the King of the Upper Realm didn\'t leave the Central World. 

"I\'ll tell you." The Eagle-like Beast Overlord commented, shaking his head lightly. 

The other Beast Overlords revealed lazy glances. However, they still listened. 

"A long time ago, there existed the Realm of Gods that governed the entire universe. It was a peaceful place. However, there was one person there who was greedy for even more strength..."

"His name was Chaos... The only God who was born without any powers..."

As the Beast Overlord spoke, Gabriel started paying even more attention. Everytime he heard that name, he felt a strange feeling rise deep within. It was even worse for Karyk. This strange feeling was uncomfortable. 

The Beast Overlord continued, "Chaos was jealous of the other gods and wanted to become the ruler of the realm. So, he started to plot and scheme to gain more power." 

"He did something that no one had expected, borrowing the strength of the Dark Realm. He created an item that contained a trace of every god\'s power."

"However, he couldn\'t keep it a secret. Just as he was about to complete that item, this news spread. All the gods joined and attacked Chaos."

"In the end, Chaos couldn\'t avoid that fate, and was killed at the hands of his brother, but not before he killed half the gods in the Realm of Gods!"

"None of the gods could use the Item that Chaos had created. Nor could they destroy it completely with their strength. That\'s why, they broke the item into multiple pieces, and hid those pieces in different parts of the universe."

"The woman that you saw before... She was one of the Major Gods that took part in that War. And the Skeleton that you possess... It also belongs to one of the Leaders of that War... That started this crusade against Chaos..."

"Chaos was killed? Why did you say that he was sealed then?" Gabriel asked, realizing that something didn\'t make sense. 

Another Beast Overlord continued from this point on, "We all thought that he was killed. However, that wasn\'t it. No one knew at that time, but this was all part of Chaos\' plan. While we all thought that he was dead, he had reincarnated into a small mortal world, called Earth..."

"And the person who helped him achieve that was none other than the so-called brother who killed him, Janus!"

"Avoiding the attention of gods, he gathered his strength on Earth, finding the fragments of his item, and recovering his strength before he attacked the Realm of Gods!"

"The day he returned was the day of Carnage, where he destroyed everyone who stood in his Path. Fortunately, someone came to stop him... An Ancient God, who was the Ruler of the Realm of Gods."

"He used the last of his strength to seal Chaos to protect this world. However, he was also sealed at the same time. Both of them were sealed in a Sword, disappearing forever."

"However, that wasn\'t the end. Even though Chaos was gone, the destruction he caused left the Realm of Gods in shambles. Only a few gods had managed to escape. And they were also hunted by Janus."

"Almost no one survived, except the woman you saw! And now you\'re one of us as well. He won\'t let you escape when he finds out about you!"
