BXBX NOVEL Chapter 668 668: Parents
More than that, she was surprised by the heavy yet dark aura around him. It somewhat reminded her of the Abyss. This strange feeling made her frown with discomfort. However, she could also feel that Gabriel was still the same person at his core, albeit he had changed a little.
As Gabriel approached, he could sense her unease.
"Do you never get bored looking at the lake?" He asked, sitting next to the woman, letting his feet soak in the lake.
"Once you live for thousands of years, the concept of boredom stops existing. It\'s something that we all come to terms with." The woman answered, shaking her head.
Gabriel\'s curiosity was piqued as he listened to the woman\'s response. He couldn\'t help but wonder what it would be like to have such an extended lifespan.
Humans had a short life. However, it was different for gods. They had a life that didn\'t end until they were killed. There was almost nothing that they hadn\'t seen before. There was almost nothing which could surprise them.
He wondered what it was going to be for him, if he ever reached that point in life. Was he still finding joy in the simple pleasures of life? Or would he become desensitized to it all?
He shook his head, realizing that the future was still distant. At the moment, he hadn\'t even achieved all he wanted to. For now, even his own life was in danger, let alone thinking about the future that might never come true.
Moreover, if there was ever a situation where he grew bored of his life, he could always find solace in the embrace of Eternal Sleep himself.
For now, despite the struggles and uncertainties, he had a resilience that pushed him forward. At the moment, there was already no happiness left in his life, but he still had a goal.
There was nothing that was impossible in this world. It was only a matter of reaching that point where the entire world could bend to his will. After reaching that point, he thought he could still have a chance to recover everything that he had lost...
If Karyk could bring back his Cylix, Novius and his sister, then there was still hope. That\'s the hope which still kept him sane to some extent.
"I sense the scent of the Realm of Gods on you. Have you been to that place?" The Goddess asked.
She didn\'t reveal much of a reaction, but she was still curious. If he went there, then how did he return alive. Or was it that he betrayed them and brought the people of the Realm of Gods to them.
"I have been to that place... And that place will be my home from now on..." Gabriel answered, before explaining the same thing he told the Beast Monarchs.
In response, the Goddess revealed a surprise.
"Ezekiel, huh. It would make sense why all Gods left then. There are only a few people who could stop that guy. The first was Chaos himself, who disappeared with the Ancestors during their battle."
"Other than that, there\'s Janus who you said wasn\'t in the Realm of Gods? That means things aren\'t over yet."
"The last person should be Caen... Though I\'m not sure how strong he actually is. If I\'m not wrong, the person who attacked you is also him. But I fail to understand why he would attack you?"
Even though she had spent quite a long time after the War of Gods in this place, there were still quite a few things she knew about the Realm of Gods.
"It\'s probably because of my Bloodline?" Gabriel guessed. "Because I have the Bloodline of the Rebels?"
The woman shook her head. "From what I know, that guy doesn\'t involve himself in such matters. And even if he was here for that, why did he kill you and not interrogate you to find us? That shouldn\'t be the reason."
Gabriel furrowed his brow, pondering the woman\'s words. "Perhaps it\'s something else entirely then. Maybe he mistook me for someone else, or maybe he had another motive altogether."
She was quite curious about Caen\'s reason, since that guy wasn\'t simple. He was the Prince of the Realm of Gods, and the future King! His strength was said to rival his uncle— the Guardian himself.
She knew that Caen was a spoiled man, who loved playing with the Lower Worlds and even destroyed many. However, from what Gabriel said, it wasn\'t that either. It was as if that guy especially targeted him.
Gabriel further guessed, talking about how he had once killed a God and turned a world into his Domain, when he was one with Karyk. However, he left out information about Karyk.
"You killed a God? Before getting the Bloodline of the Worldly Laws?" The woman asked, looking quite surprised. This was the first time she was hearing that.
It didn\'t make sense to her. It was understandable if he was able to kill them after getting his new Bloodline. However, at that time, he didn\'t have the skeleton or the Bloodline of a God.
Even with the help of a Domain, it should\'ve been impossible to kill a god, unless one used the power of Abyss like Ezekiel. But Gabriel didn\'t have that at that time either.
That only meant one other thing. It was that Gabriel had the Bloodline of a True God before he even absorbed the skeleton! And that Bloodline couldn\'t be earned. It was only inherited through their parents!
She took a careful glance at Gabriel. There was much about him that she didn\'t know. However, she realized that he had a history that he himself didn\'t know.
