Chapter 541: Creation

After the Goddess of Nature finished speaking, she walked past Gabriel, leaving him lost in his thoughts. 

"You should've let him come to the answer himself." She sat next to Karyk, softly asking. 

"I know," Karyk replied calmly. "But I'm afraid he doesn't have time. If he can't get stronger before the banquet, I'm afraid he might still be stubborn enough to leave this place. I don't want to forcefully restrain him. So I can only help him get stronger while also focusing on my own strength."

"Are you starting to care for someone else again?" The Goddess of Nature asked. 

"How is he someone else?" Karyk asked, frowning. "I'm only taking care of myself. If I die, he would need all the strength he can gather to protect himself..."

"You aren't dying. I'm with you." The Goddess of Nature replied. 

"The fact that you'll die with me doesn't comfort me in the least," Karyk responded, shaking his head lightly.
