Chapter 742 742: The Secret
From Karyk\'s point of view, it appeared less like he was hiding from something, and more like something else entirely.
"You\'ll find out soon enough..." Aliac replied as he turned and walked away, feeling that it still wasn\'t the time to tell Karyk. He still had to observe the man a little more, because this thing was that important.
Aliac had just started leaving when he found Karyk appearing before him, blocking his path.
"Now that you\'ve made me intrigued, I can\'t let you leave without understanding the situation," he told Aliac. "As for me getting involved in things, I\'ll be the judge of that after hearing everything."
"I should\'ve known that you were going to be stubborn," Aliac laughed in return. "But this works out as well."
"Are you going to tell me now?" Karyk asked.
"More than hearing from me, it\'s something that you should see for yourself. Come with me, but we might be gone for some time. You should inform your friends. When you\'re ready, come meet me in the Palace."
"How long are we going for?" Karyk asked, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Last time he was gone for a long time, his world was destroyed, and his family was killed, while he was completely unaware.
Reading Karyk\'s thoughts, Aliac smiled. "Don\'t worry about your family. Not even the Gods can enter the Central World without my permission. As for how long we would be gone... who knows. We\'ll find out soon enough."
Aliac walked past Karyk and left the mansion, returning to his own palace, realizing that many things were set in motion now.

For the rest of the day, Karyk remained in the Mansion. He informed everyone that he was leaving with Aliac and might take a few months at most to return.
"You\'re leaving?" Avilia asked, slightly hesitant. She couldn\'t help but worry if the past was going to repeat itself in the Central World.
Even Zena seemed silent. She was also scared, but she didn\'t tell Karyk anything. She didn\'t want to become an obstruction in Karyk\'s path, just because she was weak. If he was leaving, it meant he had something to do. She couldn\'t become his weakness and force him to stay behind.
"Why are you all worrying? We\'re stronger than we used to be. I\'m sure we should be able to protect ourselves if something happens! The past won\'t repeat itself!" Alion exclaimed, standing proud. He was strongest in this place if Karyk and Aliac were to be kept aside.
Unlike before, they had all grown thanks to the energy crystal. Alion wasn\'t certain if he could win against Caen, but he still had courage, trying to make others optimistic.
"Don\'t worry. The past won\'t repeat itself. The Central World is the most secure place. No one will enter this place to harm you. But I\'ll still leave some arrangements behind in case something does happen!"
Karyk called out the Goddess of Light, who was now an Undead yet just as strong as before. Not just her, he also called out Jia and the Goddess of Nature who had been staying in his small world for quite some time.
With those three here, the strength of this group had increased even more. But that wasn\'t all. To be even more certain that people were safe, Karyk created a spatial portal in the Center of the Mansion. Through the Spatial Portal, everyone could leave this world if this world was attacked and they were in danger.
The Spatial Portal distorted the energy of Teleportation, making it impossible for anyone other than him to locate the people who used the portal. He took many steps to ensure that nothing could harm his family.
For the rest of the day, he spent time with the group, not training them but just sitting and talking.
He told them quite a few things, especially about how he and Gabriel had separated a long time ago. Most of the people here didn\'t know that and were stunned to know that Gabriel became a different entity than Karyk.
That shock turned into sadness when they heard that Gabriel was killed as well. The one who felt the most hurt with this news was Avilia, Novius and Cylix, along with Zena.
The next day, when the sun started rising, Karyk left the mansion early, thinking that others were still sleeping. To his astonishment, the rest of the group had already gathered at the entrance of the Mansion, ready to say their goodbyes.
"I\'ll be back soon. In the meantime, train hard. And don\'t trouble Alion, alright?" Karyk asked his sister while patting her lightly.
He also offered some words to the others, before leaving them behind.
Karyk entered the Palace of the Lord of Upper Realm, Aliac.
He walked straight to the Throne Room, where Aliac was already waiting. Not only was he waiting, but he seemed quite prepared, dressed like a proper King who was about to go on a conquest.
"You\'re right on time," Aliac stood up. "Let\'s get going."
A portal opened up before him. He entered the Portal, disappeared in the unknown spatial energy.
Karyk surrounded his body with the Aura of Death to protect himself if needed. He still didn\'t trust Aliac entirely.
Only after taking precautions, he entered the Portal. The Spatial Travel was short, and in the blink of an eye, Karyk left the portal on the other side.
As Karyk emerged, he caught sight of Aliac positioned at the forefront, his gaze fixed on something in the distance.
He also raised his gaze and looked where Aliac was looking, only to be at a loss of words. "That is…"
