Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

****

"You are... Me?"

A calm voice was heard in the void as a young man's Spiritual Consciousness appeared. The process of Soul Separation had begun!

The consciousness belonged to Gabriel. Although he had become one with Karyk, to the point that he felt that Karyk was him. But when the Separation began, his feelings somewhat started to change.

It was as if most of the feelings that Karyk possessed in his life... He couldn't feel them. Most of his memories in Karyk's life were missing, other than some of the knowledge about magic and the world that Karyk had assimilated.

When he was one with Karyk, he felt that Alion was truly a brother. He was Karyk and felt everything that Karyk did. However, currently, he didn't have any such feelings. He only felt that Alion was just someone he worked with, having no extra attachment.

It was the same for the Goddess of Nature. He didn't feel much about Karyk's behavior with her, or her anger. It was as if this had nothing to do with them. He wasn't Karyk! He was Gabriel.

On another side, Karyk's consciousness also started taking shape. Just like Gabriel, Karyk didn't feel any particular attachment to the people that Gabriel held dear in this life.

In fact, he now found it quite stupid that he had to enter the Nether World to save the life of Novius and Cylix who held no importance.

It was as if the two personas were starting to separate again. They shared the memories of the other's life, but for them, the life they lived was their main life. They couldn't feel what the other felt.

It was a strange feeling of strangeness yet closeness.

Karyk didn't answer. He simply remained silent, as if letting the Separation take effect. Since their souls had been together for quite some time, their Separation wasn't going to affect his strength to any significant extent.

"I've prepared a new body for you," Karyk spoke after a brief pause. His eyes were slightly different from what they used to be before Separation. He felt more like the same old Karyk who didn't like talking to people.

Gabriel already knew what was happening since it was partially his decision when they were one soul. Moreover, it wasn't as if he could ask Karyk to take the second body since his element had seeped in deeply in this body.

Even if Karyk left and Gabriel possessed the main body, because of the deep element of death, that Corruption was going to occur again.

His soul couldn't stay close to the Element of Death as its purity and conflict with the Element of Light was way higher than the conflict between Element of Light and Element of Darkness.

The two consciousness looked at each other. Even though they initially came from one soul and looked completely identical, but they were two different people at core.

One was the High God that had once terrorized the world and only wanted revenge, while the other was someone who thought of himself as a human and only wanted to get stronger to protect himself and survive in the world where so many people wanted to kill him.

The crack in the soul started disappearing as one soul split into two, similar to how they merged initially.

Outside Karyk's soul realm, soul energy was creating a turmoil. It was even hard for Jia to breathe. She felt as if she was being suffocated under this pressure. She couldn't even move.

If anything, this was similar to what she felt when Gabriel had awakened the memories of Karyk. She didn't even know how she could avoid this pressure. None of her barriers worked.

Just as she felt like she couldn't do anything to protect herself from this pressure, multiple vines came out from the ground, surrounding her and the Goddess of Nature, while protecting the two of them from this pressure.

Unfortunately, the soul aura was only getting stronger, which worried the Goddess of Nature. She didn't know how much stronger this soul pressure was going to get. She was concerned that even the barriers cast around this place might be broken if the soul aura didn't stop soon!

Karyk and Gabriel, both watched the Primary and the Secondary soul separating slowly.

"Will I be something like your clone?" Gabriel asked after a brief pause. "Or like an Undead of yours?"

Karyk shook his head. "You won't be an undead. You'll be a real human. Even though you'll look like me, you aren't my clone, and I can't control you. You're free... If you want, I'll open a portal to send you back to earth as well."

Just as he stated, even though he was the main soul, he didn't create the body of an Undead. Instead, he used his own blood, sacrificing some of his life essence to create a real human.

He initially tried to do the same thing to bring back his sister after getting her soul. Unfortunately, the bodies couldn't contain the strength of her blood and ended up breaking apart. The spell that he had worked long and hard to create was useless for him.

However, this was different now. A true god's skeleton that couldn't be destroyed even in the Nether Realm... It was the perfect material to bring back someone! Moreover, he had the blood of another true god, which worked out when better.

They weren't clones. The two consciousnesses were similar, yet they had their own thinking and different personalities. If anything, it was more accurate to call them twin brothers.

Karyk wasn't sure if he could survive his battle against the Upper Realm. He was already prepared for his eventual Death. That's why, he considered his meeting with his sister and everyone else as his last.

However, with Gabriel there, his sister didn't have to be alone. She could still have her brother, even though it wasn't him. Moreover, since Gabriel came from his soul, he also had the control of his domain of Earth just like him.

So, then if Karyk died, the Domain around earth wasn't going to be destroyed, which was what he was initially worried about. The safety of everyone on earth was ensured.

Another good thing was that Gabriel had the bones and the blood of true gods. With a little practice, his strength could reach the level of a true god. Moreover, even though Gabriel didn't have the Element of Death now, but he had the Element of Light and the Element of Death that had merged into creating something new and unseen.
