Chapter 10: Artisan

As the golden sun rose in between the range of mountains, the light of dawn glazed out the horizon. Under this light, the night sky faded, giving way to day.

The light shone on two figures standing on the mountain's crest.

One of the figures was a woman with caucasian skin and a sharp nose. Her hair was long and black, almost reaching her hips, and her eyes were sapphire blue.

The black-haired lady wore traditional blue robes embroidered with stars.

The woman was now standing on the crest of a snowy mountain, her eyes wide, as if she was astonished by what she was seeing.

Next to her was a man with short white hair that was slightly messy and a golden iris that glowed and surged like the blazing sun in the sky. He had a chiselled jaw and thin lips.

He was dressed in a black suit and held a brown book in his hand.

The man was also looking at the scene before him, but he was calmer than the woman standing next to him.

They were, of course, Aucuses and Diana.

Diana couldn't believe what she was seeing; it truly shook her to her core because what she was seeing was too incredible and magnificent.

There was a floating continent in front of her!

Yes, a continent that was floating directly before her, visible through the clouds. What was more astonishing was its size, which was nearly a quarter of the Northern Continent.

She had never seen anything like it before, and even she, who had witnessed godly miracles, was truly taken aback by the floating continent.

As for how such a massive continent could exist without affecting the rest of the world, she only felt that the space here was slightly different, so she inferred that some changes had been made to space in the surroundings.

"Yet, a friend at that." The man smiled amicably, as he turned to face Aucuses, who was standing next to Diana.

Aucuses looked at the artisan, who was behaving friendly, as if he had no idea why he'd come here.

He had previously met artisan and had a number of run-ins with each other.

During the third epoch, Artisan was very famous because his talent triumphed most. One can see it clearly, by just looking at the floating continent and the city that was so out of era, that he managed to build.

Artisan even managed to gain the guidance of the ancient sun god himself, which pushed him one step closer to becoming a god. Since he learned a great deal from Ancient Sun God. This was also the time when they became acquainted.

"Shall we cut the nonsense?" The cold tone of Aucuses caused the temperature in the room to rise.

Aucuses had enough of this, for didn't have the patience or time to play along with Artisan.

His words made artisan's smile stiffen, and Diana was attempting to make blend in with this surroundings, as she sensed the atmosphere between them was way off.

Aucuses began walking towards artisan as a divine aura erupted from him, filling the room with golden flames.

The room in which Aucuses was present was anything but ordinary, as it contained valuable notes and calculations that the artisan had painstakingly written. It had inventions with enough power to put most future sealed artifacts to shame. There was also endless books on the various shelves that held knowledge that delved into esoteric concept such as cosmos, time, and space.

While, the room was also filled with restrictions and powerful defence, to the point where even an archangel would be powerless if caught in it.

Even so, everything went up in golden flames, the flames kept burning it all and illuminating the centre of the room which was unaffected by the flames.

"What gives you such confidence?" Artisan smiled as he spoke, and his piercing eyes locked on Artisan. "Despite everything that has happened, you are here with such calmness even when facing me."

"Let me guess." Aucuses' smile widened, and he continued without giving artisan a chance to reply or react. "Is it because of Adam?"
