Chapter 810: Dark Sky
For the children of the Godslayer Humankind, Atlas was nothing short of hell. It was a place filled with monsters that would rip them and their families to pieces if they ever crossed into Gaia.
However, if you were actually to see and experience life in the Inferno Daemon Empire, you would realize that Inferno Daemons were no different than Godslayer Humans. There were definitely evil individuals who could butcher without remorse, but those were the exceptions, and there was no shortage of them in Gaia.
Most Inferno Daemons were just ordinary people going about their daily lives, caring for their families, and full of dreams. They indeed had tendencies like the barbaric nature of those of the Abyssal Clan and the scheming one from those of the Hell Clan, but it was no different than humans' greedy nature.
It was just an aspect of their personality, nothing more and nothing less, and did not dictate what type of person they would grow up to be.
The Inferno Daemon Empire had experienced an age of prosperity and improvement during the past hundreds of years under the Dark Emperor. The man was a very powerful True God and a renowned Alchemy Master, with his potions and drugs saving many heroes of the empire from losing their cultivation or certain death.
But it was not just the Dark Emperor who excelled, as his Seventh Son was just as impressive. Horus Ekleipsis had been a supreme genius from a very young age, reaching the Divine Ascension Realm before turning 100.
Horus' fame reached its peak during The Great Cataclysm. He was fast and decisive, mobilizing over half of the Imperial Army and all the True Gods in a very short time, protecting all the coastal cities in Atlas and saving billions of lives.
Having the Imperial Army and over 80% of the True Gods in the Inferno Daemon Empire protecting the coastal cities would have left an opening for the monsters in the south. Yet, Horus once again proved his might as he established an alliance with a rogue human organization that clashed with the humans just as they prepared to march into Atlas.
The last part was not how things went down, but it was easy to trick people when they wanted to believe the lie.
Anyway, the last years were peaceful and quiet for the Inferno Daemon Empire, but everything good had to end.
