Chapter 200: Hercules
"You look happy, Emma," Atlas said jokingly.
As soon as Emma heard these words, her eyes narrowed as if she were moved, and then she asked, "What servant would not rejoice when their master grows stronger, sir?"
Atlas immediately placed his hand on Emma’s shoulder, just above her shoulder blade, and then tapped it twice gently, saying, "You are no servant, Emma, you are family." He then turned around and said, "Let’s go."
Emma immediately nodded and began to follow Atlas. The reports had to reach Atlas.
When Emma and Atlas reached the throne room a short time later, the doors opened and they saw Cordelia sitting on the throne and the other Sages talking at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the throne.
Cordelia and the others looked up when they heard the doors open.
"Atlas!" Cordelia exclaimed. Like every Sage, Cordelia was surprised when she noticed the power emanating from Atlas’s body.
There was nothing to be surprised about anymore, since Atlas had done this many times before, and the fact that the Life Stone was in his body now meant that he could do it every time he trained himself.
"I don’t know how long I’ve been training, but I see changes in the throne room," Atlas said with a smile.
Before Cordelia and the others could even respond, Atlas noticed the message window that had appeared at the corner of his eye, which read [9 months].
"Nine months, is that right? That’s quite a short time. Definitely encouraging," he muttered, then glanced around the throne room again.
