Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 262 - 179 Atlas, the Kingdom is Established

"Why do I feel like he’s looking at me?"

When he saw the towering figure of the gray-robed divine being standing between heaven and earth, looking in his direction, Wayne murmured somewhat uncertainly.

At this moment, a great sense of fear and crisis rose in his heart, as if countless swords and sharp spears were pointing at him from the direction of those magnificent divine beings in the distance, ready to pierce him through if he relaxed even slightly.

This unprecedented feeling of crisis caused cold sweat to seep out from Wayne’s back, and soon his whole body was drenched. Even the Great Fairy Ada, who had just completed her evolution and was held in his arms, noticed that something was amiss.

"You worry too much, you’re just a small Tifflin, not even a Devil. How could he be looking at you? If anything, he would be looking at our Holy Dragon Grand Lord."

The Great Fairy’s words were extremely sharp, almost to the point of being acerbic, but they greatly comforted Wayne, allowing his rationality to return.

Indeed, even if he were a real Devil, even the most top-tier Great Devil, the Deep Prison Refining Demon, it would still be impossible to attract the attention of a Divine being.

"I must be overthinking it."

While rationality dictated, from a logical standpoint, that the manifesting divine being would not notice him, seeing him as no more than an ant or a speck of dust.

But Wayne only appeared outwardly calm, the sense of crisis in his heart did not diminish much, because his instinctive intuition told him that this Divine being’s gaze and otherworldly malice were directed at him.

Fortunately, after the last Divine being descended, these shadows of the gods, grand enough to manifest between heaven and earth, did not last long before they dissipated.

However, while the sky and earth returned to normal, the entire Eastern Territory was thrown into a frenzy due to this Divine Descent event. Even late at night, the taverns were almost all fully packed.

No one, after witnessing this, could remain calm and continue to sleep, not even the ordinary folks without any mastery of Extraordinary Power.

Bear in mind, even during the hell disaster eruption, when no hope for victory was in sight, there was no such large-scale descent of the divines, in Eastern Territory or Central Earth alike, only the southern nations had opportunities to witness such an event.

Silver Moon Princess!

Even without a chance to go to the taverns, Wayne learned the next morning that the reason for the gods’ descent was that the Princess of the Augustus family was born last night, which attracted the gods to bestow their blessings upon her.

"Blessed by the gods, how wonderful!"

As Wayne listened to people in the streets and alleys talking about the protagonist of the event, envy flickered in his eyes, for he thought about himself.

Born to greatness and receiving the gods’ blessing, the Augustus Princess was said to have also received the protection of a Divine Artifact; there could be no one more noble in status on the Continent than her.

Compared to a noble princess like Silver Moon, he, born with evil and mixed blood, could only operate in the darkness like a bat that couldn’t see the light.

"Such a noble princess should never have any worries in her life!"

Although Wayne was very envious, he did not mourn for long, as the distance between them seemed far too vast in his eyes, like two parallel lines that could never intersect.

Compared to such a noble princess, he was merely a half-blood demon maintaining the justice in his heart in the darkness, preventing himself from falling.

Their lives had no possibility of intersecting, at least as it seemed to Wayne at this moment.

"Perhaps, I should see the outside world!"

Not yet four years old, Wayne already had the thought and impulse to explore the world, as the Mountain City he was born in seemed painfully dull to him.

Mainly because, after operating in the darkness for more than a year, the few criminal activities in the Mountain City had mostly vanished, and the city’s security could be said to be unbelievably good.

According to his uncles and aunts, it was mainly because of the Holy Dragon’s rule that evil-doers had no room to survive on this land.

Although Wayne didn’t fully agree, he was now idle. If he wanted to continue being a Dark Knight maintaining justice, he would have to go elsewhere, but both his aunts and uncles refused to let him leave.

Wayne couldn’t explain his reasons, as even at his young age he knew how astonishing it was for him to transform from a Tifflin to a real Devil.

Such a transformation would not be tolerated by ordinary people, not even his beloved uncles and aunts who showered him with money every time they returned home might accept it.

Thus, Wayne could only patiently await the timing, but he didn’t have to wait long, for a grand ceremony was about to take place, giving him his first-ever opportunity to travel far from home.

"The head of the Augustus family, Lord Tidel, will hold a coronation ceremony in the new capital of the Kingdom, Uther City, to become the first King of Atlas!"

"Atlas?"

Listening to the news his uncle brought back, young Wayne murmured to himself.

"Yes, Atlas, that’s the name of the kingdom the Augustus family is about to establish, and we will become its citizens!"
