1045 Chapter 1045: Different Flows of time
In the boundless void of the spatial tunnel, Karyk floated, unconscious.
His body went with the flow of space that took him from one corner of reality to another corner without any aim or destination.
Time lost meaning within the tunnel. Moments stretched into eternities, and eternities compressed into mere moments. Karyk's consciousness flickered, somewhere between life and oblivion.
The Universe, which he had devoured with his Abyss, remained inside his shadow. Fortunately, the Universe was not destroyed by the Flow of Space and Time. Still, it didn't mean that the universe wasn't completely affected either.
Inside the Universe that Karyk had taken with him to protect, the flow of time and space had changed suddenly. Under the effect of the chaotic spatial energy, the flow of time had increased in the universe.
While one a few seconds passed for Karyk in the river of space and time, centuries were passing inside Karyk's universe.
Civilizations were rising and falling. Old words were getting destroyed while new worlds were being created.
New and more powerful Civilizations were rising. Wars were being waged, strength was being gathered and the prosperity of the entire universe appeared to have arrived.
The False Angels had left the universe to return to their real bodies and now they couldn't return to the universe. As for the half angels that were created in the universe itself, most of them were killed.
In the coming centuries, the hierarchy of the World of Angels had also changed. The Era of Angels had long passed as their entire city was destroyed.
With the disappearance of the Fairies, only three High Species were left that gained control of the realm.
With the resources of the Angels and Fairies, their strength had also increased by a lot to the point that they started reaching their hands out of their own realm.
As the Angels were more interested in other realms, the other clans stayed away from getting involved to maintain the fragile balance with the Angels.
Now that the Angels had disappeared, the balance had also broken. All three clans split the subordinate clans of the Angels, taking them under their wings.
It was the beginning of the fragile peace which didn't last long before the era of conquest began.
The Three High Clans also started approaching the other worlds. The world that caught their attention was either enslaved or destroyed.
The entire universe had changed for the worst in the last few centuries. After a few million years passed, the situation became even worse.
A new breed of conquerors emerged, born from the ashes of the fallen civilizations. They were relentless, driven by the hunger for power and dominance.
These were the Warlords, known for their ruthless tactics.
In the midst of this turmoil, the remnants of the old civilizations also appeared together in a desperate bid for survival.
They formed the Coalition, a resistance movement that sought to restore balance to the universe. This coalition was a diverse assembly of beings from different worlds, united by a common cause.
The battles between the Warlords and the Coalition were fierce and bloody, stretching across countless star systems.
Planets were laid to waste, and entire species were driven to extinction. The fabric of the universe itself seemed to be destroyed, all within what felt like a mere second in the river of space and time.
Meanwhile, Karyk's unconscious body continued to drift through the spatial tunnel, unaware of the chaos unfolding within the universe he had tried to protect.
His mind was trapped in a dreamlike state, where fragments of memories and the broken parts of the worldly laws were overwhelming his fragile mind.
All the memories of the people he had Devoured had already entered his brain. However, the memories of the people who were dying in his universe were also forcing their way inside his mind.
As he had covered the entire universe in the abyss, he had replaced death itself. Those who died didn't enter the cycle of reincarnation but became a part of him, including their memories and their strength combined.
In those memories, he saw a world where there was no night as the sky was constantly covered in the darkness of the abyss. It was a world that was stained with bloodshed and war.
As he was in a river of time and space, time had been passing much faster for his universe. While a second bad passed for him, centuries were passing for his universe which meant billions of people were dying every second, leaving their memories for him.
Every second, he was absorbing the memories of billions of beings that spanned over centuries.
In one vision, he saw a young warrior from the Coalition of Light, standing against a battalion of Warlords. In his hands, he held a weapon forged from the remnants of an ancient civilization.
The civilization was extremely old and powerful for them, but it didn't exist in Karyk's time.
In another vision, Karyk saw a world consumed by darkness, where hope was but a distant memory. The skies were perpetually shrouded in storm clouds, and the ground was littered with the ruins of once-great cities.
Amid the desolation, a lone figure stood, cloaked in shadows.
As these visions played out, a subtle shift occurred within the spatial tunnel. The chaotic energies that had ensnared Karyk began to destabilize even more, as if responding to an unseen force.
Thousands of spatial cracks appeared in the river of space and time as if some great power had sliced through the river of space and time itself.
The sound of battle occasionally came from outside the river of time as two great beings were fighting, their battle creating this destabilization.
Thanks to the myriad of spatial cracks, a multitude of exits appeared in the river of space.
Karyk's unconscious body hit one of these spatial cracks, flying out of the illusory river of space and time, reaching one of the multiple unknown exits.
Unconscious, Karyk's body shot out of the river of space.
