Even though he sent his Undead to kill everyone who was inside his domain, he also decided to join in as well, intending to go straight for the Patriarch of the Wester Clan.
Gabriel prepared to leave, but at that exact moment, he suddenly grabbed his chest as his face turned slightly pale.
He abruptly coughed out a mouthful of blood, feeling a scorching pain deep within his soul. It was as if he was burning and freezing at the same time!
The pain was so overwhelming, even for someone like him who had gone through so much. Moreover, this was clearly not because of any attack from outside. It was from deep within...
Gabriel's body felt extremely weak, as he somewhat lost his balance.
The Goddess of Nature and Jia were looking at the battle in the distance. Multiple powerful spells were used all around, that kept destroying the nearby terrain. However because of the domain seal, the loud sound of explosion was contained in this place.
The two ladies don't notice Gabriel's unsteady steps as he tried to maintain his balance. To some extent, it looked as if he was extremely drunk with his unsteady steps.
There was a look of confusion on his face, not realizing what was happening to him.
Even with his weakness, he tried to observe his soul, where the pain came from. However, as he saw his soul, his expressions became even darker!
There was a small crack on his soul which didn't use to be there in the past. In the soul crack, he could feel some trace of light and darkness as well, which previously wasn't noticeable.
The crack was very small, but it was slowly extending out, making him feel a pain worse than death.
He had thought that he had entrapped the element of Light and the Element of Darkness to prevent himself from being tracked. However, he just realized that there was a small trace of that impure aura that had already seeped inside when his old soul was merging with his new soul.
Initially, the traces were so small that they weren't even noticeable. That's why he thought that the sync of his two souls was absolutely perfect. However, with time, that corruption deep within his two souls was extending.
"That woman!" He couldn't help but suddenly roar, looking at the sky! It was clearly the work of the Goddess of Light!
When two souls were merged after rebirth, absolute purity was needed. He had thought that all the conditions were satisfied when he woke up. However, he just now understood that there was another reason the Goddess of Light had granted him the Element of Light!
She wanted to use another Element when his original soul wasn't awake, to slowly corrupt his new soul with the Element of Light!
Thanks to that, his soul merger that was previously in perfect condition was slowly starting to seperate. It was clearly a self protection step that she had taken.
She wanted to use Karyk to kill the Ruler of the Upper Realm. However, at the same time, she didn't want to create a monster that even she couldn't take down! That's why she used this method, which was akin to using a slow poison!
The more this corruption spread, the worse it was for him!
****
Within her Palace, the Goddess of Light was standing near the window, taking a sip of drink. Even though she knew Karyk wanted her dead, she was still somewhat calm.
"It should set in soon. Maybe a week at best." Her voice echoed in the room where no one could hear her. "I wonder what you'll do now, old friend. You will soon know what I actually did. I wonder what kind of expressions you'll make when you find out. I wish I could've seen that..."
"The worse your soul merger becomes, the weaker you'll get. So before that happens, you should try to kill the King of the Upper Realm. Since you'll only get weaker from that point on. If you still go after me, even if you kill me, you'll end up dead at his hands."
" So it would be wise for you to think carefully, and take care of the stronger one while you have a chance... As for me, you'll never get a chance to reach me... At least not until you end up dead!"
"I really hope that you help me one more time before you die... Just like last time you helped me with your death..." She revealed a calm smile, looking at the two moons in the sky.

The pain within his soul only kept increasing, forcing Gabriel to sit on the ground, using his own aura of death to nourish his soul. Unfortunately, it wasn't easy since the corruption of the other Elements had already corrupted his second soul.
Gabriel felt immense bloodlust rising within his heart as he thought about the Goddess of Light who did this.
The Goddess of Nature finally noticed Gabriel, who didn't look to be in a good condition. He was sweating profusely while sitting on the ground.
Most of the time, he looked like a person who could face anything in this world without even flinching, yet that same person now appeared to be going through something that made him reveal those never before seen expressions.
"What happened to you?" The Goddess of Nature approached him, reaching out his hand. Even though Gabriel couldn't get sick, but she still tried to send some of her natural healing energy to his body to help him to the best of her abilities.
However, something went terribly wrong. As soon as she touched Gabriel, a burst of soul energy came from within his body, sending her flying!
Even Jia was taken aback, abruptly raising her sword to protect herself from this explosion. However, even then she wasn't in any good condition, coughing out blood repeatedly.
All her bones were aching as if she could've easily died in that attack.
All the Elders who were sent to kill Gabriel had already been killed by his Death Generals. However, even they couldn't avoid this soul energy explosion.
