Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 848 471: Noah’s Grandson, Divine Calamity? Evil Demon King?

"How long have you been pregnant?"
"It's been ninety days."
"Ninety days, and you're already like this, it's truly..."
"Father, I've only changed like this in the past few days. When Ilyad contacted you, my condition was no different from usual."
"Changed in the past few days? Hmm, let's observe for a bit longer then!"
Noah couldn't make a judgment on the current situation. Although he had seen similar things, each instance was different.
Ordinarily, his eldest son married late, found a legendary six-winged angel mate only after becoming a legend himself. The likelihood of having offspring at that level was minimal.
However, against all odds, Noah now had an additional grandchild.
But being Ilyad's first and possibly only child, this descendant had caused issues for its mother from the start, making this a special case with no references, they could only take things one step at a time.
However things proceed, ensuring the safety of mother and child is not a problem at all. With the support of the World Will, there was nothing Noah couldn't accomplish in the world.
"Yes, Father."
Even residing in Noah's Holy Sanctuary—an exceptional cultivation paradise created by Noah himself, favored by the World Will, with an environment superior and elements more lively than most regions of Heaven, even comparable to Divine Countries.
Yet even in such an environment, Hela was becoming more exhausted, her physical condition worsening daily, not only her feathers were dull, but her once-radiant skin was also dimming, and her essence qi was being drained.
"Your realm is actually starting to fall."
Noah felt a faint sadness for Hela's situation.
Because based on this daughter-in-law's current state, the child she was carrying didn't seem to be anything decent, more like a forbidden creature of the Divine Calamity type.
Ordinary children, even with exceptional talents and special constitutions, merely require more nutrient supply, which can always be provided.
But the child inside Hela wasn't consuming nutrients; it was drawing from her life origin, causing her condition to deteriorate even while living in Noah's Holy Sanctuary, and her realm to decline.
Since Hela's limits were being reduced, no matter how well she lived or how much she ate, it was useless; she simply couldn't retain it.
"What are your thoughts now?"
Facing such an evil situation, Noah sought Hela's own opinion,
"I will honestly inform Ilyad of your situation, and he will understand you, so make your decision without any psychological burden."
From a rational perspective, even as a grandfather, Noah suggested his eldest daughter-in-law deal with it.
Given his son's bloodline, life rank, and this daughter-in-law's background, their union indeed had a certain probability of producing a Divine Calamity; if such a thing were born, it would be better to destroy it early.
However, Noah couldn't say this, so he left the choice to Hela, as she was the one directly threatened and harmed, with her realm starting to decline.
"Father, Ilyad and I will likely only have this one child. He might be a Divine Calamity, or he could simply be exceptionally talented.
Just like your grandson, Cezer, he has mastered spiritual energy capable of turning everything to ashes, yet he serves in your legion now, and you also like him very much, don't you?"
Perhaps perceiving Noah's unspoken implication, Hela gave a very serious response after careful consideration, and her series of questions also rendered Noah silent.
Because she wasn't wrong, Noah's current favorite grandson was indeed Cezer, and Noah recently decided to create a tailored plan to establish a battle group centered around him.
"So your decision is to keep this child and let him come into the world smoothly?"
Noah asked seriously.
"Yes, that's my duty as a mother."
Hela spoke solemnly, then continued in an even more ceremonious tone, as if making a vow,
"But if what is born is a Divine Calamity, I will personally wield a sword to slay it. If I can't, please do it in my stead, Father."
"Since you've decided, I will naturally support your decision!"
If the life origin will be depleted, then it will be replenished. Previously, his adoptive father Casius could find treasures that replenish life origin and extend life, and Noah certainly had the ability now.
Moreover, even if there were deficiencies on his side, he could seek help from Odin, the old man, and his current foster child, who could provide a large batch, not to mention Ophelia who also would be willing to help.
However, while replenishing life origin treasures isn't a problem, is the result they summon after exhausting many precious items worth such an effort?
For a mother, such questions need not be considered at all.
When a mother's persistence prevails, there is no power that can stop her, including Noah.
Besides, Noah also wanted to see what his eldest grandson really was, whether he was a Divine Calamity or something else, warranting such a sinister display.
With Noah and Odin's limitless, cost-unconcerned support, in just sixteen years, Hela gave birth to a grayish feather ball.
"It's not a Divine Calamity!"
Noah scrutinized his most unusual grandson to date. At first glance, it looked like a ball composed of countless feathers, no even a shadow resembling a person, but based on the budding innocent consciousness within, Noah determined it as not being a Divine Calamity.
It was at this moment that Noah fully relaxed. Even though he could handle a Divine Calamity, the impact would be significant, especially on his son and daughter-in-law.
"My child, how is he?"
Despite being nourished by countless life treasures, Hela, whose face remained sallow, couldn't wait to look at the child she bore after sixteen agonizing years when hearing Noah's judgment.
However, seeing this dull gray feather ball didn't bring much joy; it didn't resemble a normal living being, but under the watchful gaze of many, the ball gently quivered and then unfolded petal-like feather blades, akin to a blooming flower.
A plump, round little figure with face accented by light golden scale patterns on the cheeks, looking exquisitely carved like jade, instantly appeared before everyone.
Yet, more attention was drawn to the pale gray wings extending from its back than to this dragon species-featured humanoid form. With eight wings, they wrapped the newborn, making it descend to the world in the form of a feather ball.
"Eight-winged angel? Truly extraordinary talent!"
Although the color and number of wings seemed off, judging by the wing count alone, this eldest grandson had a promising future.
Ordinary legendary angels can have at most six wings; the only exception being his Blazing Sky father-in-law with twelve light wings.
"Hades Noah Solophis La Manton."
Under Noah's gaze, the seemingly unremarkable little figure spoke. In the instant of stating his true name, an invisible domain unfolded, ignored by Noah but causing his mother's face to turn even paler.
