Chapter 236: Keep Moving Forward
Atlas waited for all the orders to be issued and then sprang into action again. He entered the circle Cassandra had drawn in the Throne Room and, without waiting even a second, said, "Sun Palace."
This was the very palace located in the capital of the Epsilon Empire, which was exactly two hundred thousand years old.
With just a single blink of his eyes, the scene before Atlas changed, and he found himself in the Throne Hall of the palace.
Aether and Aelia couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw Atlas. Both Emperor Aether and Empress Aelia were wearing their battle armour, and their bodies were covered in blood.
They were two lovers who had just returned from battle.
The explosions, screams, and other sounds from within the capital could be heard even in the Throne Room, one of the highest points of the palace.
"Atlas!" said Minerva Epsilon, the crown princess herself. She had not seen Atlas, whom she regarded as her brother, for a long time, and both Atlas and Minerva herself had grown up a lot.
"Minerva," said Atlas, and in an instant, he stroked the head of Minerva, who was still a little girl in his eyes, and then turned to Aether and said, "Uncle, let me destroy the gates. I destroyed the gates in Shorekeeper City. I have given orders to the Church of the Night and its two hundred million soldiers, as well as to every remaining church, to take action. The time has come to change the course of events."
As soon as Aether heard these words, he took a deep breath and asked, "Is there anything you want from us?"
Aelia was about to ask Aether what he was doing when Atlas’ voice was heard:
"Come with me, go outside, and continue fighting."
With Atlas’ words, all the nobles in the throne room rose to their feet, each looking at Aether and Aelia with great hope.
