984 Chapter 984: Everything and nothing
The Altar was nowhere to be seen. Only its shattered remnants could be seen around. In place of the Altar, there was a puddle of blood that had once been sealed. As soon as the Altar broke, the blood was released.
Above the blood, a young boy was floating. A sharp blood red spike had impaled his chest, but it wasn't Karyk's doing. Instead, the blood itself had attacked the Prince on its release.
High in the sky, the Angels came to a sudden stop, their faces distorting in anger and disgust.
There was absolute silence around the entire place which was only broken when the King's laughter echoed all around.
"It's done!" The King laughed heartily as he looked at the spike in his son's chest. The Prince was lying lifelessly with his eyes closed.
He was not breathing anymore. Only a tear of blood was trickling down his cheeks. It was as if he could still hear his father's voice even as he was being devoured by the abyss.
Only the Prince could be seen in the puddle of blood, but Karyk was nowhere to be
seen.
The King thought that Karyk had died. It didn't matter to him. After all, he had achieved his goal. He had sacrificed his son to heaven in exchange for the Divine Will.
The King kept laughing amidst the silence. He sounded extremely happy, but sadness was hidden behind this laughter. Even as he was laughing that he had succeeded, tears kept streaming down his cheeks.
He had won, but at the same time he had lost. He had sacrificed his only son for the future of his people.
The Angels looked at the King and the Prince on the puddle of blood. They didn't do anything. It was already too late. They had failed.
"You have made the biggest mistake of your life," the Leader of the Angels said, extremely disappointed. He simply turned around and started leaving.
As he was about to enter the portal to return to his world, he suddenly clenched his chest and stopped. He wasn't the only one who had stopped. The others also stopped, appearing like they were in extreme pain.
