Chapter 595: Margaret’s Request

“Jeanne! From now on, you will be called Jeanne! Jeanne, come and call me Father.”

After picking the name, Edward reached out to touch Jeanne’s face. “I can’t believe that Catherine and I are at the diamond tier. Our baby does not contain the angel’s or the dragon’s bloodlines. Generally speaking, the more powerful the person is, the more difficult it is for them to give birth to a child! Even though Jeanne doesn’t have the strong bloodline of other races and is just an ordinary human baby, it’s better that way. I don’t think I can accept it if she’s not human.”

“Wait a minute, Father.”

Seeing that Edward’s finger was about to touch Jeanne’s face, Watson, who was leaning against the wall, seemed to feel something. His expression changed, and he turned around to stop Edward. Unfortunately, it was too late.

Bang!

Edward’s hand stopped an inch away from Jeanne’s face. The baby’s blue eyes turned golden. Mysterious and ancient runes on Jeanne’s body formed a golden protective barrier, and a faint godly chant was heard. Then, the protective barrier spread outward and formed a light storm. Edward’s hair almost fell off his scalp, and the muscles on his face twisted in waves.

Edward’s body spun and flew backward in less than a second, landing heavily on the wall and leaving a human-shaped hole in it. After a long while, Edward flew in the direction of the hole, clutching his waist. He looked in disbelief at Jeanne, who was emitting golden light on the bed.

“What’s going on? How can Jeanne have such powerful strength?”

He was sent flying after saying that Jeanne was an ordinary human baby. He had the strength of a diamond-tier elite, and Jeanne’s power was much more powerful than any dragon or angel.

Vincent and the others, who had also reached out to touch Jeanne, withdrew their arms.

“I forgot to tell you. I knew she would be a human girl because she took a large amount of power from the human chess piece in my body when she was born,” Watson said helplessly. That meant Jeanne’s body contained a tremendous amount of energy. That energy was constantly growing, and in a short period, it had expanded countless times, reaching the level of the starlight tier.

It would be as dazzling as the sun if all that energy were released. When Edward was sent flying backward, that power did not explode completely. Otherwise, Edward would not have been sent flying backward but turned into ashes instead.

Watson only knew one thing that could achieve such a level—the law of molecular acceleration contained in the human chess piece. There was no doubt that Jeanne’s body had the power of molecular acceleration right after she was born.

“It’s comparable to a magic source. That’s not power equivalent to the starlight tier. Perhaps Jeanne has the power of a god. Maybe Mother gave birth to a god?” Vincent muttered in disbelief.

“The baby is probably even more terrifying than a god. Her body contains the law of molecular acceleration. Initially, only the king of a race could control it. In other words, Jeanne has the aptitude to become the king of humans and even surpasses the gods.”

The moment she was born, her body contained molecular acceleration. That was equivalent to the world’s future king of humans.

“No wonder a large amount of power was taken from the human chess piece just now.” Watson’s expression was a little complicated. Humankind could only have one king, but there were two qualified people to take the throne. He could not compete with his sister.

For the sake of his sister’s development, he might have to search for other race chess pieces and become the king of other races.

While he was thinking, a smile appeared on Edward’s face, and he said, “I didn’t expect the child to be so powerful. She is as powerful as a god, even as a newborn. Isn’t that much more powerful than when Watson was born? Even so, Watson had the means to create Mount Creation and change the structure of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. But that child is even more powerful than Watson. Will she accomplish even greater feats in the future? My dear Jeanne, from now on, you will replace Watson as the new pride of our family.”

“Alright, all of you can leave now. I want to be alone with Jeanne. Don’t just stand there! Especially you, Watson. You still have a lot of things to do, right? Before Jeanne comes of age, you have to pave the way for her and be a good brother.”

Edward did not know anything about the king of humankind or molecular acceleration. However, he understood what Watson meant. Jeanne might break through the starlight tier in the future. Even if there were diamond-tier elites then, they were still very far from the starlight tier. Jeanne had gotten a head start, so they must praise her talents.

The main reason must have been that his genes were better. Edward could not help but grin.

Creak.

Watson clenched his fists. His father did not disappoint. Every time he spoke, people would have the urge to beat him up. What did he mean that Jeanne would replace Watson as the family’s pride? What did he mean that he would have to pave the way for Jeanne when her strength had yet to surpass his? Would his father abandon him?

“Father, how can you say such a thing? Watson and I haven’t seen each other for a long time. He just came back, and you’re chasing him away without even having a meal with him. How can you do that?”

Zeke and Zenoah spoke at the same time. Their words were full of complaints, which made Watson feel gratified. It was as he had expected of his third and fourth brothers, who had been very close to him when he was young. They would always stand up for him.

Unfortunately, the next sentence from the two of them dispelled the gratitude in his heart.

“At least wait for Watson to finish eating with us before chasing him away.”

“What?”

Watson was speechless. He did not know what to say. Did they mean he could not stay there anymore? Must he leave?

At that moment, someone poked him on the shoulder with the tip of a pen. It was Margaret. “Watson, come with me for a moment.”

She grabbed the corner of Watson’s clothes and dragged him out of the room without any explanation. They walked down the stairs to her room on the second floor.

“Don’t mind what just happened. Didn’t you take over the kingdom? Father said that because he was worried you had not finished dealing with your matters. He doesn’t want us to delay you. You are irreplaceable in his heart! When you weren’t around, Father would fly to the top of the World Tree every day to look into the distance. If it weren’t for the guards, he would have gone to the royal city to see you. You don’t have to worry about what Father said because, in our family, you are the only pride we have.”

Margaret’s tone was calm, but her words made Watson rub his nose in embarrassment. He had sensed the concern in the eyes of his family members, who seemed to have wanted to chase him away.

He could understand their thoughts, just like how he did not want his family to know about the threat of the elven army.

“Did you ask me here just to inform me that?” A faint warmth rose in his heart. Watson looked at Margaret. It had been a long time since he last saw his sister, and she was no longer the same as before. Her skin was no longer transparent, though she was still very fair. It was apparent she had not only stayed in the room, but her cheeks still had some baby fat to them.

“Of course not.” Margaret rolled her eyes at Watson and said, “Why would I get you here just to comfort you? I had something to do. You know that I have been writing heroic adventure novels. The novels are very popular on Mount Creation. However, because you have been away from Mount Creation for a period, I haven’t been able to write anything recently. Coincidentally, you have returned home. Quickly! Tell me what happened to you during this period so that I can continue my novel.”
