Before the eyes of the two ladies, Karyk stepped closer to the white sphere of light before him.
Even though they couldn't properly see Karyk, they could feel that he appeared extremely tired, as if a human who hadn't slept for a week.
Before using the spell of recreation, Karyk's control over death was close to ninety percent. However, after using that spell, this absolute control had increased, albeit only slightly.
Even though he was weak, he felt that this process helped him under a soul much better than he initially did, bringing him one step closer to becoming the absolute master of death who could never be killed.
He stopped before the sphere of light, placing his palm over it. After that, he just simply stood there without moving an inch.
The soul energy could once again be felt from him, but this time it wasn't chaotic like last time. Instead, it was calm and precise.
Even though the others couldn't understand what Karyk was doing, but they were quite curious.
With his hands on the sphere of light, Karyk performed the last step of recreation. He started sending his secondary soul into the body of a true god that he had created personally.
Inside the sphere of light, there was only a skeleton according to Jia. However, in reality, the skeleton was already inside a proper human-like body now. A body that was brimming with godly power, only lacking a soul.
Usually, it would've been hard for any soul to be in complete sync with the body. However, as Karyk used his own blood while creating it, he managed to surpass the restrictions.
After a few minutes, he finally took off his hands before walking back to the Goddess of Nature and Jia with unsteady steps. His eyes were colder than they used to be. However, there was also a look of relief on his face, as if he had healed the corruption of his soul.
The Goddess of Nature wanted to ask him what he did when Karyk sat down next to her, exhausted. His body was slightly weak temporarily. However, it wasn't weak to the point where he couldn't protect himself. If he wanted, he could still kill everyone here.
For a few minutes, no one spoke anything, waiting for Karyk to gather his breath.
It was only after some time passed that Jia asked, "What's inside that?"
"You'll know soon." Karyk closed his eyes, not speaking further.
****
Another day passed and there was no change in the sphere of light. Karyk also didn't move, seemingly falling asleep from all the exhaustion.
Even he didn't know how long the process of Gabriel's merger was going to go on. But he had done all he could. He had no role in the process anymore.
All he had to do was recover in the shortest time possible. Unfortunately, even that shortest time that he could guess was at least a month.
After such a long time, the Goddess of Nature had naturally stopped paying attention to the sphere of light that was brimming with a strange godly energy and soul aura.
On the other hand, Jia was still quite intrigued with it. She often approached the sphere of light but didn't touch it. She was eagerly waiting to see what was inside.
What had become of that skeleton? Was it made into some heaven shaking weapon? Or some treasure that could cause chaos in the Upper Realm? Nothing Karyk did was ever ordinary after all.
As Jia was lost in thought, she heard a faint sound emitting from the sphere. It sounded soothing and divine. It was as if there was a person inside who was just waking up from a long slumber.
She was quite taken aback. She took a few steps back subconsciously, wondering if the skeleton inside the sphere of light was back to life. Was all Karyk did just to bring the skeleton back to life to make it into an Undead Soldier?
While she was lost in thoughts, cracks started developing in the sphere of light, as if it was a shell that was breaking apart.
The cracks started getting bigger and bigger. It was as if it was about to disappear. Jia couldn't help but call for the Goddess of Nature, attracting her attention to the sphere of Light.
She also tried waking up Karyk, but Karyk didn't react, as if he was asleep and didn't want to be disturbed. He only revealed a frown at the unnecessary shouting but didn't open his eyes. He already knew what was inside after all. For now, his rest was more important.
The Goddess of Nature stepped closer to Jia. Even though the sphere of light was emitting a powerful aura, but she wasn't scared. She was sure that Karyk wouldn't create something that could harm them. However, she was still ready for unexpected situations, ready to protect herself and Jia if needed.
Within a few seconds, the cracks covered the entire shell of light which soon broke apart, disappearing into thin air.
After the shell of light disappeared, the two ladies were finally able to see what was inside. As for what they saw, it was enough to stun them to their core.
The Goddess of Nature looked back at Karyk in the distance, looking back and forth.
Even Jia was taken aback. There was a person before them, lying on the ground. The person appeared to be a young man, who wasn't even twenty years old yet.
He was completely identical to Karyk, but there were some differences. The hair of the young man before them was different than Karyk.
Jia recognized that right away! This was the hair color that Gabriel had before his awakening! Moreover, his aura was different from Karyk's aura, yet powerful enough to stun them both.
On the left hand of the young boy, there was a strange Elemental Mark which didn't match the Element of Light or the Element of Darkness. Instead, it was like the merger of both!
