Chapter 727: In Ruins

The revelation of Karyk's power and the unexpected transformation of the Goddess of Light left the Lord of Upper Realm in awe and contemplation. 

The grandeur of the room was marred by the recent events, the aftermath of their battle painted across the walls and floors. The weight of their choices hung in the air as Karyk's newfound dominion over the Goddess settled in.

Karyk, now in control of an undead servant with immense power, turned his attention to the Lord of the Upper Realm. 

The Lord's eyes were fixed on Karyk, a mix of intrigue, and perhaps a touch of uncertainty present in his gaze. The two beings stood there, each aware of the shifting dynamics between them.

"You've certainly surprised me, Karyk," the Lord finally spoke, his tone a mixture of acknowledgment and curiosity. "Your strength, your methods—they're unlike anything I've encountered before. Ruthless yet justified."
