Chapter 667 667: Invitation
?
Gabriel opened a portal, connecting it to the Beast Forest in the Upper Realm.
For most people, connecting directly to the Beast Forest was impossible, especially with all the restrictions applied by the Beast Monarchs but it was different for Gabriel, thanks to his personal connection with them.
A portal connected the Beast Forest with the Realm of Gods.
Gabriel entered the portal with Raphael, while telling the Undead Warriors to stay behind and wait for his return.
On the other side, he stepped out of the Portal, appearing at the outer edge of the Beast Forest.
He had been here a short time ago, but returning to this place felt like it had been an eternity since he last came here.
Last time, he was on a ship when he came here, but this time, he was on foot.
As soon as he appeared in the forest, his presence was felt by the Beast Monarchs. However, they remained calm, realizing it was Gabriel, who they considered one of them.
Gabriel's figure flickered, as he moved through the Beast Forest like lightning, leaving a gust of wind behind him.
After a short time, he reached the meeting place of the Beast Monarch.
"You finally return," The Lion Monarch asked, as he still carried a jar of wine in his hand. "You missed my wine, didn't you?"
He tossed the wine toward Gabriel.
Gabriel grabbed the jar of wine, and took a sip. This feeling was nice... After all the fighting, this light hearted atmosphere was like a breath of fresh air.
These people were good people in his eyes. At least much better than Caen and his people. For him, these people deserved to be in the Realm of Gods more.
"I did miss this wine," Gabriel smiled in response. However, the Beast Monarchs could feel that something was different.
He was much different than he used to be when he left last time. They couldn't guess what he went through, but it wasn't simple.
He also appeared to be a little stronger... Maybe even stronger than them. In fact, they couldn't even see through him, as if a layer of darkness was shrouding him.
"Did something happen?" The Lion Monarch asked.
He had given Gabriel a personal talisman for him to call them if he was ever in danger. However, he couldn't sense that Talisman on him anymore.
"Nothing major," Gabriel shook his head. He sat down on a nearby rock, and intrigued Raphael as a friend.
"Anyways, I came here with good news," he said after a brief pause.
"Good news? Did you finish getting revenge on that Goddess of Light?" One of the Beast Monarchs asked.
In response, Gabriel shook his head. So many things had happened in between, that he couldn't even think about that. However, he believed that Karyk dealt with her already.
"I have good news for you. I'm here to take you back..."
"Take us back? Back where?" The Beast Monarchs asked, looking at each other, confused.
"Back to where you belong... Back to the Realm of Gods," Gabriel answered, stunning the Beast Monarchs.
"This isn't a good joke." One of the Beast Monarchs frowned. "How can we go back there? The Gods there are dangerous. They will kill us, especially Janus..."
"The Gods have abandoned the Realm of Gods. And I don't think they will return anytime soon."
Gabriel slowly explained to them about what had happened after he left, including his meeting with Caen and more.
He also talked about Ezekiel in brief, which stunned the Beast Monarchs. They had also heard Ezekiel's name... The first outsider who had killed gods, despite not having the blood of gods.
No one knew how he became so strong, despite being born mortal but he was a threatening existence.
"Y-you freed Ezekiel? And he helped you? The gods ran away?"
The Beast Monarchs looked at each other. The more they heard, the more disbelief they were in. So many things happened in such a short time.
"So you lost your heart?" The Lion Monarch asked, focusing his hearing senses. He was unable to hear any heartbeat coming from Gabriel.
He couldn't understand why Gabriel was still alive, despite losing his heart to Caen...
He was still alive, as if Gabriel was now an Undead, or something else entirely... Something beyond human.
Even Gabriel didn't understand why he was still alive. He thought it was because he had Karyk's blood and a trace of Element of Undead. However, he didn't care what the reason was. All that mattered was that he had managed to survive.
He didn't know how long he could stay alive like you, but every day was special. He had so many things to do... And he didn't want to waste a single moment.
"You are coming with me. I will bring another guest. Until then, you get ready. And then we will be leaving."
He gave them a time limit before standing up. He went to the Special Region in the Beast Forest which was known as the Legacy Garden... It was the place where he met the Goddess in an illusory realm.
He didn't know if she was just a spirit or if she was well alive. If she was still alive, he wanted to bring her back as well, to work for him. And if she was a spirit, it was still wise to consult with her since she knew Gods the best.
Gabriel entered deeper into the Legacy of Garden. After taking a shortcut, he entered the core region where everyone would've lost all their senses. However, that didn't work on him. He could see everything.
Unlike last time, there were no beasts who attacked him. No Golems tried to stop him either, allowing him to reach the center of the Legacy Garden for a second time with ease.
Gabriel stopped at the center of the Legacy Garden, looking at a stone in the center which was immovable last time. He reached out his hand and placed it over the stone.
