It was clear that his enmity with the Goddess of Nature started with her Brother's death. For her, thousand years of solitary confinement was not even worth mentioning, compared to her loss of her only family member at the hands of her so-called friend.
If he wanted to turn her around, he had to first return her brother and start from there.
Fortunately, it was easier to bring back the brother of Goddess of Nature since he didn't have to go to the Nether Realm to bring his soul back. Her brother's soul was already inside his Grimoire after all, with the consciousness intact. All that was needed was to create a body, which was even easier for him.
"Why are you doing it?" The Goddess of Nature frowned. "Instead of just killing me, why are you freeing me? And even help me bring my brother back?"
She didn't know what Karyk was doing. From what she knew, he was someone who didn't deal with emotions too well. In fact, he would rather kill someone who offended him than talk it out, even if it was his closest friend. However, for him to go this far, instead of killing her? That was unexpected.
Gabriel was silent for a moment. However, after a long time, he finally stepped closer, reaching out his hand.
He lightly placed his hand on the Goddess of Nature's head. "Because I feel sorry for what I did to my friend. I was in the wrong..."
"Friend?" The Goddess of Nature muttered, gazing at the Soul Stone in her hand which was enough to bring her brother back. However, as she raised her gaze back, she noticed that Karyk was already gone, nowhere to be found.
The Goddess of Nature didn't know what to do next. She just looked at the Soul Stone blankly.
In the end, she activated the Soul Stone, which became bigger. The soul stone became six feet tall, large enough to create a human body inside.
The process was very slow though, and at the speed it was going, it was clear that it was at least going to take a few weeks to complete.
The feeling of being free after a thousand years was strange. She had been in those chains for so long, that even though she was free now, she could still feel those chains around her wrists and ankles.
She raised her head slightly, gazing in the direction where Gabriel was standing previously. "He has changed..."
She cast a protective barrier around this room which could not only protect the soul stone but also inform her if someone came close to this place. The only person she thought who could break the barrier in this place was Karyk. However, since he himself gave her the Soul Stones he had no reason to destroy it.
Leaving her brother's Soul Stone in the core of the Tomb where she was trapped for a thousand years, she disappeared.
The Goddess of Nature appeared in a distant mountain, standing at the peak. It was the first time she felt fresh air outside the Tomb. However, she could feel that something was different in the air.
In the past, the air used to contain a high concentration of elemental energy. However, currently, that couldn't be felt. Even for her, it was very hard to gather her elemental energy from the air around her.
"Just what did he do?" She muttered, frowning. To get more answers, she tried to locate the nearest city. What she wanted was information about the last thousand years, and the changes.
As she flew above the landscape, she couldn't help but marvel at the sights. It was as if the entire world had changed in the last thousand years. The places where deserts used to be, there were rainforests now. The places where not a single trace of humans could be found a thousand years ago had the biggest cities now.
Old lakes and rivers had dried up in the last thousand years yet new ones had appeared. The world didn't feel like anything she remembered. In fact, for a moment she even doubted if she was in the wrong world.
Along the way, she saw the place where Gabriel had fought with all the mages. She could still feel traces of his deadly aura in the bloody battlefield.
"Such a large-scale battle... Just who did he fight?" She muttered, landing on the battlefield.
She didn't know exactly how many people Gabriel faced, but the number wasn't low at all! Moreover, she could also feel some traces of the Element of Time as well. It was clear that the Temple of Time had also joined.
Even though she could feel the presence of other elements, none of it was at a significant level. It was as if no gods that she knew participated in this war.
She walked through the battlefield of corpses, trying to gain a better understanding.
After four hours, she finally reached a city near the battlefield, where she felt she could get more information about what happened.
The City was quite crowded and full of life, despite the fact that such a battle took place so close to it.
After walking through the City, she finally felt some presence that felt somewhat familiar. It was a young woman who was a Mage of Nature. Since she hadn't joined the war last time, she had managed to survive.
After that war, she hid for a week, worried that all the elemental mages were going to be hunted down after the war, but fortunately none of it happened. In fact, things felt more normal than they used to be.
"You, there." The Goddess of Nature approached the young woman.
The Young Woman didn't recognise the Goddess of Nature but she did have her suspicions lowered when she saw that the Goddess of Nature also had the Elemental Mark of Nature. She felt much safer approaching her.
The Goddess of Nature met with the young woman and asked about everything that happened.
The young mage was initially surprised, wondering which mountain this lady came down from, to not even know such basic knowledge. However, she didn't express it on her face.
She told the Goddess of Nature everything she knew, including the secret information about Gabriel that she had received thanks to the Temple of Time before the war. Her brother used to be a Head Priest in the Church of Nature after all, so he was informed about such things before the war.
Since her brother knew how dangerous Gabriel was, that's why he asked her to stay away from the war and she listened and survived.
"He was killed a thousand years ago?" The Goddess of Nature frowned.
