(Note: From here, I've decided to change the number of levels within each stage to nine. So it will be like, first three Levels are lower levels, next three are Middle Levels and last three are Upper Levels. Atlas is currently at the sixth level, which is the third of the Middle Levels. The levelling went way too fast for the Awakening Stage up till now, so don't expect any more level-ups from Atlas anytime soon.)
Atlas scoffed coldly as the light from the breakthrough dimmed a little. He was stronger. It was as though chains were limiting his body from achieving its true potential.
The feeling of the chains was still there, but they were now loosened a little and he felt as though he could do something about his fate and destiny as a used individual.
"Gods are full of baloney," he whispered, as he gripped the ever-cold handles of Yin and Yang.
The faceless deity didn't speak, knowing Atlas had seen it through. Hence, Atlas continued speaking.
