Chu Zao truly treated it offhandedly. Just like removing a piece of jewelry, he casually took the little coronet from his head and hugged it to his chest. In fact, as he grew up, he rarely performed this gesture—after all, when he was younger, it was just to blend in. Once grown, as he began… Continue reading Cub 165: Side Story I · When That Powerful Holy Cas Descended ⑩

Chu Zao lifted his head. He looked somewhat nervously at Amos approaching, wanting to say something more. But in the next moment, he was gently pulled—Amos hugged him. “Sorry.” The voice near his ear was that same calm tone, only hinting at some suppressed emotion. Having been raised since childhood as a future emperor, the… Continue reading Cub 164: Side Story I · When That Powerful Holy Cas Descended ⑨

With his cold expression, Clansis really should have refused. After all, in his current state, he was very dangerous—or rather, all Crown Clan members were highly dangerous at this point and wholly unsuited to interacting with such a delicate little one, unable to protect himself. A single misstep, and it would be easy to injure… Continue reading Cub 163: Side Story I · When That Powerful Holy Cas Descended ⑧

The young boy squinted his eyes, the way he was patted on the head made him look like a little animal that, after being frightened, was finally soothed. And when Amos suddenly heard that word, “Father,” the hand he had resting on Chu Zao’s head froze all at once, and then he quietly averted his… Continue reading Cub 162: Side Story I · When That Powerful Holy Cas Descended ⑦

Amos walked down the corridor. It was very quiet around him. After the Aberrant Beasts surrounding the Holy Cas Empire had been dealt with, everything returned to blue skies and white clouds, no different from the past. Although the entire Crown Clan was still mired in despair, at least there were enough tribe members left;… Continue reading Cub 161: Side Story I · When That Powerful Holy Cas Descended ⑥

This cub hanging from his hand looked rather fluffy, but was actually very light. Moreover, from the previous day until now, although Amos had more or less sorted out his thoughts, he indeed had not really touched Chu Zao. At this moment, as Chu Zao suddenly clung to him, not only was Amos taken aback,… Continue reading Cub 160: Side Story I · When That Powerful Holy Cas Descended ⑤

The tiny white fluffy little dragon froze. Just moments ago, his hands had still been clutching the edge of the medical pod, but now, in the form of a ball of fluff, his little paws lost their grip and slipped off, his two front paws slowly lowering— It was over. He had actually lost control… Continue reading Cub 159: Side Story I · When That Powerful Holy Cas Descended ④

Chu Zao had never seen such a scene before—in fact, he had never seen so many people. Ever since he had finally struggled, with his own effort, to leave the Angel Realm—only to find himself arriving on this starfield—the entire interstellar world had already been sucked almost dry by pollution, teetering on the edge of… Continue reading Cub 158: Side Story I · When That Powerful Holy Cas Descended ③

And it didn’t just seem severe—it was extraordinarily so. Amos’s previously relaxed expression vanished without a trace. He switched off his communicator, his muscles tensing slightly, his guard up. Because Amos also sensed that Feeney was not quite the same as the Feeney he knew. When the wings on Amos’s back spread and fanned out,… Continue reading Cub 157: Side Story I · When That Powerful Holy Cas Descended ②

[Timeline note: In Holy Cas, at the point when Amos and the others have just come of age and Ebinino has not yet reached his death node, the entire narrative overlaps and traverses to one year after the adult Zao, whom Amos once saw in a future vision, arrives at Holy Cas.] Pain— Everything hurts—… Continue reading Cub 156: Side Story I · When That Powerful Holy Cas Descended ①
