Chapter 953: Jealous of humans
"If only they used this intelligence for something better, it would have been so much better."
Karyk did not even know why he was talking about them with a being that did not even know what humans were. But he still felt a lot better when talking about it. He had been carrying a heavy burden all this time. So times like these were rare when he could talk about his true thoughts. If he had told these same things to others, they might have looked at him in disbelief. They would have told him that he was a godly being. Why did he consider humans dangerous? Others could not understand his thoughts. He was a powerful being, but that\'s not what he wanted to be. He would have much rather preferred to be a mortal, free of all these things. "Sometimes I feel jealous of the humans that live their entire life without even knowing of such existences." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Why didn\'t you kill those humans if they were so dangerous? You said they were physically weak. So if you killed them, could they have stopped you?" The Mother Whale asked. Karyk could only respond calmly. "I could definitely kill them all. But why would I do that?"
"Because they are dangerous." The Mother Whale stated. "Aren\'t you also dangerous? Who isn\'t dangerous in this world? I\'m not a judge. If I start killing indiscriminately, I might break the balance of the universe."
Karyk himself did not understand just what he was, or where he came from. All he knew was that whenever he became involved, things became very complicated. He could truly kill humans, but why? The moment humans caused this trouble, he was too weak to stop them. And now, he was too strong to be affected by them. Humans were dangerous, but not for him... At least not anymore. If he started killing them, he was only taking away their happiness. Was it because he was scared? Was it because he was jealous of them? It was none of these things. Just because he could not live a life that they did, he didn\'t want to take their lives. Moreover, even if he did that, what if it created a bigger monster instead? Ezekiel was only created because the Gods toyed with the beings from his worlds, killing them all. "If I killed them just because I was annoyed, how would I be different from the Children of Heaven that killed your people?" Karyk stated. The Mother Whale went silent. Hearing his words, she gained more understanding of this person. Even if he was stronger than the Children of Heaven, he was different from them. If only the Children of Heaven were like him, her family would have been alive. For quite some time, she did not speak anything. She just felt a lot more at peace. She wanted to help this man even more now. ....
Another day passed. "We are reaching near the land," the Mother Whale stated. Karyk could not see the land. But he believed the Mother Whale. She could see much farther, especially since he could not use his abilities. "Do you see any Children of Heaven?"
"I don\'t see any. But that might be because we will be reaching a different area. I can\'t go to the City directly. Still, I will have to be careful."
Another hour passed and Karyk was finally able to see the land. This time, it did not look like another Island. It was a proper continent. He had finally reached his destination. The journey that might have taken him over a year on a boat, was completed in three days. He was expecting the Mother Whale to drop him right here as she did not intend to go to the surface. But she went further. She went even closer to the shore, before transforming into her human form. She held Karyk\'s hand, helping him up as she walked on the shallow water, reaching near the shore. "Are you not returning?" Karyk asked, remembering her saying that she wasn\'t going to go to the land with him. "I changed my mind. Since I am here, I will accompany you. I don\'t know how much help I can be, but I should be able to protect you as long as we aren\'t going against a Child of Heaven."
She did not want Karyk to fail. But she also remembered that Karyk was weak now. She was much stronger than him. After hearing his words, she was more convinced that he was someone she wanted to help.
