"You should worry more about yourself. You aren't going to have the advantage of your domain in the upper realm. So stop being so overconfident." The Goddess of Nature scoffed, feeling as if she was being looked down on.
Her fighting spirit was ignored. She wanted to go with Gabriel as well. She had her own personal scores to settle and she needed Gabriel's help to leave this place.
"I am strong enough to protect myself. I don't need you to worry about me." She further insisted.
Gabriel didn't react right away, but this was also what he wanted. In the end, she acted as if she gave up and allowed the Goddess of Nature to accompany him.
"Fine. Start preparing. We'll leave tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? So soon?" The Goddess of Nature was slightly taken aback at the timeline. Her brother's body was still in the process of completion. She at least wanted to meet him before leaving.
"Alion and the others will bring your brother back to the castle when he wakes up. His safety is almost assured."
Even though Gabriel also wanted to see the return of Cylix and Novius before leaving, but he didn't want to delay any more than needed.
In any case, they weren't needed here. He had already used the stones needed for body recreation and given the souls to Alion. He could handle the rest.
Alion could help the two return to this world and also inform them about what had happened in the past.
At the same time, Gabriel also made some slight changes in the soul. He placed the main souls of Cylix and Novius into deep sleep. They had already lived their life to the fullest. Instead, he made the fragments that were left inside the Tower of Challenges as the main soul.
For him, the Cylix and Novius who were outside were nothing more than strangers. Instead, he wanted to help the Cylix and Novius who were stuck inside the tower, unable to see the light of day.
It was as if he had swapped the sealed fragments and the main personality. This time, it was the main personality which was sealed.
Gabriel only kept the main personality's spell knowledge intact to help the two who he knew.
He had already done his part. As for meeting them before leaving, for now he had no interest.
He didn't want it to feel like he was going to his death, never to return. He had decided to meet them when he returned victoriously after achieving his goals.
After finishing what he had to say, he didn't even wait for the Goddess' response and simply left, as if he was a ghost.
"Urgh, he's still like before. And here I thought, he changed." The Goddess of Nature shook her head lightly. However, she also understood why Gabriel was in a hurry to leave.
Since she had decided to leave with him, she also decided to make some arrangements for her brother once he returned completely.
She also disappeared.

Most of the Mages in the World were killed. All the Churches and their main clans had been abandoned.
Only a few mages had managed to survive, and that too because they hadn't joined the war. Amongst them, the mages from the Academy of Elements were also ones.
They hadn't joined the war for unknown reasons. Instead, they were just spectators, as if they had suddenly forgotten the hatred between them and Gabriel.
Unfortunately, with the change in this World, it was almost impossible for new mages to appear, so the Academy was eventually closed and all the Teachers of the Academy left on their own journey, in search for opportunities to grow stronger.
The City that once used to be called the City of life was now no different than any ordinary City in the continent.
The Academy of Elements had closed and the Church of Light had no members left. Every single member of the Church of Light was killed already.
At the moment, Princess Elia of the Lumen Empire could be seen walking on the streets, surrounded by her guards who were there to protect her.
However, she appeared very different from the past, when she used to be in the same class as Gabriel. At that moment, her eyes were filled with pride and arrogance. However, now she appeared to be at a loss.
She still couldn't believe that the youngster that she rarely paid attention to was the one who changed the complete hierarchy of this World.
He was now the strongest person in the world. Even an entire army couldn't defeat him.
As she was walking in the streets, she was slightly taken aback. She saw the back of a person. Even though the person had donned a robe on his back, she felt as if she had seen that person before.
The person had beautiful silver now, which made her shake her head lightly. She remembered that Gabriel didn't have hair of that shade. However, she still couldn't shake that feeling.
Was that person really Gabriel? Was he really the new overlord of this world? What was he doing in this city suddenly?
She didn't even realize when she subconsciously started following after him, trying to make sure if he was really Gabriel.
However, just as she had taken a step following Gabriel, she froze in her place as a dark haired undead appeared before her, coming out of a shadow, placing a cold to the touch sword on her neck.
Even though he didn't say anything, but it was clear that he was warning her... As if saying that he was going to swing his sword if she moved even an inch.
Elia froze in place, not daring to move. At this distance, even the guards couldn't save her! Even if they wanted, she would've stopped them since she was finally sure that the person she thought about following was none other than Gabriel.
If her guards even thought about resisting, then it was going to be a slaughter.
