Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 962: Divine Will

Chapter 962: Divine Will

"Gift from the Ruler of the Ocean, and Angels in attendance?"

Karyk had a lot of questions in his mind. He wasn't sure if the Angels were the same as the Archangels from his era. He could only verify this assumption if he could see them. Until that moment, he did not want to leave this illusion. "Can you tell me more about the Angels?" he asked the man next to him. "The Angels? I don't know much about them either. I just know that they are very strong. They seem to have good relations with the Empire."

"In their Prince's coronation, representatives from the Empire had also gone. So it's only fair for them to come."

The man kept going on and on about the Angels. But everything else he said was of no significance. He could not describe their looks, as he had never seen them before either. He only talked about the stories related to Angels. As per his own words the Angels were close to the Divine Will of Heaven. "What is the Divine Will?" Karyk inquired, getting some useful information amidst a bunch of rumors. "No idea. I am just telling you what I heard." The man shrugged innocently. Even he did not know the meaning of these words. He just told them because he had heard a lot of people talk about this in the past. "Ah, that's right." He suddenly thought of something. He looked around to make sure no one else was paying attention to them. He moved closer to Karyk and whispered in his ears. "I heard that even the Empire is trying to get close to the Will of Heaven. They say the Prince is the key for that. But I don't know what that means either. Still, it must be important. So keep it to yourself."

Karyk remained silent. His mind had a lot of questions, but he also managed to get a rough idea. The destruction of the Civilization had something to do with the Divine Will. But what was the Divine Will? He wasn't sure. Was it a treasure that the Angels possessed? Did the Civilization try to steal it? Was that the reason for their enmity?

Even if it made sense, he could feel that this wasn't the entire truth. How could the Civilisation steal a treasure from the Angels? And what did it have to do with the Prince? Why was the Prince called a key?

"Wait..." His thoughts came to a halt suddenly. "Prince... Key..."

Weren't these two terms associated with him as well? The Elzeirans called him the forgotten prince. Meanwhile, Aexin called him the key. The more he thought about it, the more it started making sense. He was experiencing the past of the book's author. But that did not mean he was not a part of this past in a different way. Was he the Prince whose birthday was being celebrated? Was this the reason he was able to pass through the wall that protected the city? It was because he had the blood of the Civilisation?

Was it really a confidence that he ended up in this world? Or was this a scheme?

He did not know what was true and what was false. He did not even remember the outcome of the battle. Could it be the scheme of the Archangels to send him to this world? Because they wanted something from him, which they believed he would not do if he was forced. A lot of suspicions were rising in his head. Was he intentionally allowed to live? Was him reaching this library also a part of that plan? 'No, if this was the plan, they would have made me end up near the city, not on an abandoned Island with no other way to reach the City.'

He quickly dropped the thought, noticing a lot of flaws in that. If it was a plan, why would the subordinate of the Archangels try to stop him from using the Book? It was more like the subordinates did not know that he was here. The man in the library did not even recognise him as the people Archangels were after. He could not forget the possibility of it all being an act, in which even the Mother Whale and her Child were taking part. Even if that was the case, he wanted to understand. He wanted to understand if this was truly his past. Was the reason he ended up in Elzeira related to the Civilization? If that was the case, it also made sense. If the person watching over him was from the Civilization, it made sense for the Celestial Empire to not give him up. The Civilization was as dangerous as the Archangels for them. 'But did they not know that the Civilisation was gone?'

If he was truly a prince, then the disappearance of the Civilisation was related to him and the Divine Will. "We are here." The young man told Karyk, bringing him out of the daze. "Huh?" Karyk came out of the worst of his own thoughts, noticing that there had already reached the shore. In the ocean, he could see many Giant Whales that were even bigger than the Mother Whale he saw before. 'These must be her ancestors. They were truly closely related to the Civilisation. Still, they refused to pass on this knowledge. That is truly strange.'

The Ruler of the Ocean stepped out of the water, taking a human form. For Karyk, it was a human form. But for these people, it was the form of the Civilisation. The old man that led this group, greeted the Ruler of the Oceans. Even though the old man was just a servant, the Ruler of the Ocean was very respectful to him. That was the dignity of the Civilization. Even servants received respect, because they represented their masters. "What are you all looking at? Take the gifts and carefully take them back!" The old man was all smiles with the Ruler of the Ocean, but when he looked at the young servants, he was the same old grumpy man.
