Chapter 703 703:- Messiah
And since then, Luna has never looked back in life. She kept getting stronger.
Luna thought of her parents and her siblings. She thought about her hometown. When she remembered where she came from, a big smile appeared on her face. She had a very humble beginning. But now, she was greatness Itself. She was the Goddess. She was the Messiah. Luna looked at her pet, the Mythical creature known as the Sky Serpent. Lucifer has been by her side since the beginning.
Luna gently stroked Lucifer's back as she looked at the vast, almost endless-looking blue sky."Lucifer, this is just the beginning. Once Forgehall is in my hands, no one will be able to stop me anymore. Not even that Dragon Monarch." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The Sky Serpent was truly massive in size. It was impossible for them to hide its massive body when traveling towards the Capital. Everyone on the ground was able to see the large and long figure of the Sky Serpent. The length of the Serpent's body was over 110 meters. Just the head of the serpent was 10 meters long. Lucifer had long and sharp teeth. Except for his red glowing eyes, everything was black. -

A couple were working in a field. The couple was busy harvesting their own grown tomatoes when a giant shadow fell on them and on their crops. The husband thought that the shadow was from a cloud that was passing by. But when the wife looked up, she was horrified. Ahh...!!!
She screamed loudly while falling on her butt. "What happened?" The husband looks at his wife and finds her looking very scared. Her face had turned pale. Her eyes were filled with fear. Her whole body was shaking. The woman didn't reply. But the husband understood what she was looking at. As he raised his head and saw the giant black thing over their heads, the husband's eyes contracted to the size of a needle. The next second, his eyes rolled back. He fainted next to his wife. Many other ordinary people who lived close to the capital had a similar reaction when they saw the size of the giant Sky Serpent flying in the sky. Luna purposely made Lucifer fly slowly so that she could enjoy this time. As for the consequences of her actions, she did not care.
But she could guess that by now everyone in the Capital had been alerted of the giant black snake that was heading in their direction. Luna could imagine hundreds of thousands of Hephaestus Kingdom's imperial soldiers standing before her.
So, what?
Did this worry her? Luna knew that the King wasn't here since he had gone to attend Prime Minister Spencer's wedding. She could take her time. She wasn't afraid of anyone in this world. As long as everyone was breathing the same air, then it is a fair game. -

Scene Change_______
Meanwhile, Stoneheart Island
Aidan was sitting next to the Echo Dominion Emperor. From time to time, Aidan looked at his side right. He could see Aditya's beautiful fiancée sitting together. Although Aidan was envious of Aditya for having so many beautiful women as his fiancée, but this isn't the reason why he looked in that direction. He did not want anyone to misunderstand his intention and think that he was looking at the Dragon Monarch's future wives. Which man wasn't jealous of the Dragon Monarch? But they all understood that if they were even half as outstanding as the Dragon Monarch, then they could have raised their standards. Aditya and the Goddesses were like a match made in Heaven. Previously, some people might have questioned if this Aditya-named person was even worthy of being engaged with the Goddess of Alchemy. But now, no one dares to even have such thoughts in her mind. Aidan was also the same. Seeing that Aditya wasn't with his family, Aidan leaned towards Echo Dominion Emperor and asked. "Where is Aditya?" He asked in a low tone so that others wouldn't hear what he was saying to the Emperor. Those sitting close to him with heightened senses may have overheard his question to Daxton. But he didn't mind. "I am not sure. He may have gone to the washroom." Daxton wasn't focusing on Aidan. He was more focused on Spencer. In his mind he couldn't help but sigh in his mind. If only someone as talented as Spencer was born in his Empire, or if only he had found Spencer before Aditya did. There was no questioning Spencer's talents. Spencer was one of the brightest minds in the whole Continent. Having Spencer as the Prime Minister has benefitted the Empire in countless ways. Meanwhile, Aidan bit his lips and began to think about his problems. Recently, he has been facing a ton of problems. In the present times, the Hephaestus Kingdom is notorious for being a center of numerous illegal activities. But it wasn't always like this. In the past, the Hephaestus Kingdom was known for something different. At the height of its glory, the Hephaestus Kingdom was renowned as the Land of Forgers, where skilled artisans would create beautiful works of art and crafts.
In the past, the Hephaestus Kingdom played a significant role in the export of iron and other precious metals from the Dying Isle Continent. With a contribution of nearly 85% of the total exports, the kingdom's role was crucial in the continent's economy.
Even though, the Hephaestus Kingdom has declined, to this day, the Kingdom still had the most number of blacksmiths. The Hephaestus Kingdom is considered to be the Holy Ground of Blacksmiths. The Kingdom is renowned as the hub of learning for all blacksmiths across the entire Continent. It's a place that every blacksmith aspires to visit at least once in their lifetime to gain knowledge and hone their skills.
The city of Hephaestus Kingdom has the highest concentration of blacksmiths in the Dying Isle Continent.
If Aidan manages to tap into this potential of his Kingdom, then without needing any financial or military assistance from any of its allies, the Kingdom would be able to improve its economy rapidly. It wouldn't take long for the Kingdom to become a 5th-tier powerhouse and when that happens, the Kingdom would officially regain his status as an 'Empire.'
Unfortunately, Aidan wasn't that sharp. With his capable Prime Minister dead, Aidan still hasn't found a suitable replacement. The King had too many things in his hand. He can't just focus on one matter and forget about the rest. There were still a large number of rebels and gangs in his Kingdom. These days he was troubled with these matters. This was one of the reasons why, today Aidan went to attend Prime Minister Spencer's marriage. He hoped that after the marriage ceremony was over, he would get some time to talk with Aditya and get his advice. Unfortunately, Aditya wasn't here. 'Now I also have to deal with this annoying self-claimed Goddess.' Aidan has heard of Luna. But so far, he only has heard good and positive things about this woman. Whenever someone spoke of her, she never said a single bad thing about her. During a recent encounter, Aidan met a man who appeared to be a devoted follower of a woman he did not know. The man spoke of her with a great deal of admiration and reverence, almost as if he were worshipping her.
Aidan found the man's behavior suspicious, and his foolish and stupid smile only added to his suspicions. He couldn't help but think that there might be something fishy going on behind the scenes, but he hasn't had the opportunity to investigate further yet. Despite his concerns, Aidan remained polite and didn't bring up his suspicions with the man. He preferred to keep his thoughts to himself for the time being. Also, the foolish man appeared to be very protective of this woman named Luna.
Although he was addressing the King, he demonstrated a higher level of respect towards a woman than towards the King himself. All these things made Aidan more suspicious of Luna's activities in his Kingdom. 'Well, given her large following in my Kingdom, if I publicly try to do anything to her then millions of people will come to the street to protest.' Just thinking about this gave Aidan a big headache. Sigh.....!!!
'Should I just let my Kingdom become a part of the Istarin Empire?' Aidan couldn't help but think of this possibility. Once Hephaestus Kingdom becomes a part of the Istarin Empire, all of his problems will be solved by Aditya. He won't need to do anything.
'Maybe Aditya will let me keep my position.' Sometimes, Aidan felt that it was better to quit everything and go live a new life. His current life was just too stressful. Aidan was having trouble coping with everything that was happening in his life.
