Karyk imrsed himself in reading the book about the history, which was written from the perspective of the Drike Family.
The book provided detailed accounts of the founding of the Drike Family. It also discussed the other Great Families that were established around the sa ti.
As Karyk went through the pages of the book, his understanding about this world only increased. With the book, he was able to learn the extent of power that the Drike Family actually possessed.
The Drike Family was not just strong but it was also quite wealthy and influential. The Drike Family ruled over multiple universes, being an absolute Overlord.
Not just the Drike Family, the other Great Families also had their own spheres of influence. Until Karyk left his universe, he thought that the universe was all there was to this reality. Now that his horizons had broadened, he ca to learn that there existed thousands of such universes, most even larger than the universe where he ca from.
For a great family, a universe was like a small speck of dust that they could crush whenever they felt like it. Most of them didn't even bother to care about them.

Karyk remained imrsed in the library of the Warship, losing track of ti as he shifted from one book to another. He was so engrossed in his reading that he forgot how long he had been there.
It was only when he heard a knock on the door that he snapped out of his trance, realizing he had already read through half the library's collection in just a few days.
Reluctantly, he put the finished book back on the shelf and stepped out of the library, wondering why the spies had finally made their presence known.
From the beginning, the spies had been observing him in silence. But now, they intentionally let him know that they were there, signaling that it was ti to move on.
The Guards inford Karyk that the ship had entered the domain of the Drike Family, and they were just monts away from landing. He was instructed to make his way to the exit, where the young heir of the Drike Family was waiting for him.
As Karyk didn't know his way through the ship, the Guards were supposed to escort him out.
Karyk followed the guards out of the palace and followed them to various terminal points. After multiple spatial jumps through the terminals, Karyk reached the place where he had first appeared when he entered the ship.
Aelric was already there, standing next to his uncle. Behind them, thousands of powerful guards were standing, that appeared to be battle hardened.
Each of those guards was multiple tis stronger than the angles that Aelric had killed along the way. And they were just a small force of the Drike Family.
If Karyk hadn't read through the history of the Drike Family, he would have been quite surprised by the strength that he was seeing.
Unfortunately, it also ant that the Angelic Clan was just as strong. Karyk was now realizing that he had underestimated the Angels a lot, especially since Aelric had managed to kill a few.
If the Drike Family was comparable to the angelic clan, that ant the Angels that had co to take Aelric weren't even part of their army. It beca clear that the Angels knew that Aelric didn't travel with guards so they didn't send a strong angel.
With thousands of guards around Aelric and his uncle, it would have been impossible for Karyk to reach them. But as he was being escorted by the personal guards of Aelric's uncle, no one questioned him.
He was able to reach Aelric who was quite welcoming. He even apologized for not being able to keep up his promise.
He had told Karyk that he was going to co to et him later but he wasn't able to. Not only was he scolded a lot but his uncle spent his ti bullying, no, training him.
It was only now that they were to leave that Aelric was able to sigh in relief. He was going to be free of his uncle, but on the other side, his family was waiting to scold him even more.
"I am sowhat jealous of your family. They seem to love you a lot," Karyk told Aelric who was complaining about his family repeatedly, as if he was a real tortured soul.
Aelric couldn't say anything against Karyk's words either. Although his family scolded him, sotis for good reasons, they truly loved him a lot.
When he thought about Karyk who had lost his entire family because of angels, he could understand why Karyk was saying such a thing.
Compared to Karyk, he was truly lucky that he still had a family.
He tried to say sothing in response, only to stop when a spatial crack appeared in front of him, becoming as wife as a door.
The ship had finally landed and the doors had opened. On the other side of the spatial crack, he was even able to see a familiar face.
"Oh god, no! What is she doing here?" Aelric quickly hid behind his uncle the mont he caught sight of the young lazy standing outside, as if waiting.
The girl was holding a whip in her hand. Looking at the girl, Karyk was able to confirm that she was also from the Drike Family. Then why was Aelric so scared of her?
Not only did the girl look younger than Aelric but she was also really beautiful.
"Who is she? Why are you so scared of her?" Karyk asked Aelric who was hiding behind his uncle, repeatedly telling his uncle to close the door and take him away.
"She is an absolute demon! I can't believe that she ca here personally! Why did it have to be her?!" Aelric didn't even appear this scared when he faced the Angels or when he was standing in front of the ti lord.
The more Karyk looked at him, the more his curiosity increased.
