Chapter 345: The Complacent Dwarves
"How about you, little fairies? It's funny. Fairies and humans used to have good relations, and so did their Goddesses. However, history has been erased and rewritten. Only ignorant and arrogant fairies are here." Elena turned to the army of fairies with a sharp gaze.
Her tiredness and stupidity of the three armies here only irritated her even more. She just wanted to make them aware of their place and drive them away. After that, she and Elysia could rest before taking care of Rhea again.
Yralissa no longer possessed her former arrogance and irritation. She asked for a brief opinion from the other four highest-ranking fairies. Then, she represented to ask in a much gentler tone than before. "Do you know about our Goddess whereabouts, the Goddess of Life, o Human Goddess?"
"I knew her. Truth be told, she is still around here, watching you with disappointment and sorrow. You know nothing about her sufferings. These northern continents are pitiful. Ancient history is buried deep and lost with age." Elena heaved a subtle sigh.
These fairies immediately changed their attitude just because the Goddess of Life was present in the statement. At least, they still treated their Goddess with high glory. Perhaps, they were simply feeling lost and desperate to seek enlightenment from their Goddess?
"..." Yralissa and the other fairies were silent for a moment. She glanced at the other fairies, and they just give her an eye signal in response. All had the same meaning, refusal to challenge the divine, just like her intention.
"Our deepest apologies. We are too complacent and forget our position. Your glory is the truth, and we are nothing but ignorant fairies. We dare not challenge your divinity. Please allow us to retreat." Yralissa clasped her hands, begging for forgiveness.
"Our deepest apologies." The other fairies did the same and said in unison.
Elena didn't want to answer, but it was considered a silent approval. Thus, the Celestial Lotus with thousands of fairies retreated several kilometers and stopped after they reached a safe distance. They also wanted to see what would happen to those dwarves and the Floating Fortress after challenging the Divine Goddess.
"Hahaha! Elven and Fairy Race apparently only have nonsense about their ultimate weapon that is said to be able to rival divine power. They want to compete with our technology, but they are just bragging." Nuraddir laughed out loud while holding his stomach.
"Our technology is the best!"
"The other races can only imitate our dwarven of glory!"
"We dwarves don't need a God to worship for guidance or enlightenment!"
"Yes! We are enlightenment and the future itself!"
"Our time is now. Glory to us all!"
"Uohh!!!"
The other three Dwarven Emperors and the other dwarves shouted out to amplify the taunts toward the elves and fairies.
The fairies and elves chose to remain silent even though they felt annoyed and angry to hear the insults. They did have the power to rival divine power, but that didn't mean they would take down the original divine being.
Not to mention, the Goddess of Light knew their Goddess's whereabouts. They hoped for enlightenment from the Goddess of Light about lost history and about the Goddess of Life that had long been absent among them.
"I do admire your confidence, big heads. However, it seems that pride has swallowed up and clouded your brain's judgment. Why don't you try it now? Your the so-called mighty fort. I'll show you how easy it is for me to destroy the source of your confidence." Elena ave a sneer and wore an expression of superior arrogance.
"Please don't underestimate the destructive power of our Floating Fortress, Human Goddess. You will be hurt by your overbearing attitude." Nuraddir shook his head with a smirk.
"Tell that to yourselves, big-headed ignorant fools who have never seen divine magic in your entire life. It's pointless for me to talk to a race that has not been guided by any divine beings in the last hundred thousand years." Elena snorted softly with contempt.
Then she spread her arms and wings as if to make herself an easy target. She needed a good reason to bully them later. "Enough with this nonsense, I will give you big-headed lowly conceited fools the opportunity to attack me with your strongest magic. Watch and realize how small you are to look up upon this vast universe."
"Don't regret your decision, and don't hold a grudge against us if you get hurt, Human Goddess." Nuraddir declared, then the dwarves immediately got ready with their ultimate magic attack.
'Sister Elena, that giant cannon looks dangerous and creepy. Sci-fi gigantic cannon? Even though they are all magical attacks, please protect ourselves without gaps and disdain. One mistake, and we will go to the afterlife without remainder.' Elysia muttered with worry as she watched the giant advanced cannon charging with the magic energy of over a thousand dwarves.
'I have no arrogance or look down on anyone. I'll be careful, Ely. Let me hit these arrogant big-headed shitty beings so they will know their place.' Elena gave her reassurance confidently. She also put dozens of invisible layered barriers around her as she spoke.
'My HP only has 5,900 points. We need absolute protection.' Elysia replied with a gentle reminder, just in case.
'Your beloved big sister is aware of it, my little Ely. All right, their attack is coming~' Elena smiled with amusement to hear her overly worried little sister.
At that moment, the gigantic cannon had finished charging magic energy. The dwarves were ready to launch high-level destructive magic.
"Floating Fortress maximum power released, target, the Human Goddess. Activate barrier level six." Nuraddir controlled the against the divine operation.
"Human Goddess! Try to survive the strongest attack from the Mortal Realm. Supernova Blaster, maximum capacity!" Nuraddir shouted loudly and sent his commando on the screen in front of him.
*Swoosh!*
A reddish-white laser beam with high destructive power thundered and tore through the airspeed to shoot toward the Goddess in the sky. The combined magic power was more dangerous and terrifying than the previous one.
The northern hemisphere was immediately enveloped in a blinding light, just like a warning about the end of the world.
*Bam!*
The Supernova Blaster slammed into Elena's invisible layered barriers like storms and massive waves. It was instantly engulfing her in a sea of scorching destructive energy.
In the eyes of everyone who witnessed that, the Goddess seemed to vanish. She might have disintegrated into space particles all at once when that peak of the Mortal Realm ultimate magic attack struck her divine self.
Nell, Lifa, and Vanessa were the most worried ones. The only comfort that made them feel a little relieved was that they could still feel the presence of the Goddess of Light in that deadly attack.
'Look at this, Ely. These high-level attacks of the combined strength of one or two thousand big heads are unable to destroy our layered barriers. The first layer only cracked a little, but I've already recovered it.' Elena pointed with her open palm. She glanced left and right. Only ultra-high temperature element and destructive energy was all around.
'There are four Dwarven Emperors. I still can't understand why they want to challenge the divine? Our magic is only unique, but we're not divine beings, right?' Elysia was still lying on the bed in the Soul Realm. She scratched her head in confusion.
'There is no reason to explain someone who is complacent and stupid. We just need to beat those big heads into oblivion, Ely. In that way, they will come back to their senses... Uhm, they will realize that they're nothing but inferior arrogant beings.' Elena folded her arms under her breasts with a confident smile. She had to wait for this laser beam to finish before she would strike back.
'But, This was the first time for us to test our layered barrier against high-level destructive magic, Sister Elena. At this rate, aren't we becoming the bane of anything related to magic?' Elysia stroked her chin as she analyzed the energies surrounding them.
'At this rate, we could just call ourselves the Goddess of Magic, Ely. Well, almighty in magic, but too fragile in the physique.' Elena made an ornament to make herself more magnificent before the mortals later.
'Sister Elena, what do you want to create?' Elysia was curious to see a partially formed golden halo that resembled a set of wings.
'It's just an ornament, Ely. I'm just going to make this golden halo float behind me and shine on me.' Elena finished her craft, then made that partially formed golden halo hover a few centimeters behind her. 'Ely, does it suit us in this Goddess form? What do you think?'
'O Divine Goddess, Almighty Goddess of the Realm of Heaven, please bless this mortal girl with your divine power and glory.' Elysia clasped her hands in prayer. She played the role and became a faithful follower who was worshiping her Goddess.
'O, mortal girl. I have seen your sincerity and devotion. I will appoint you as my loyal angel.' Elena smiled with amusement to hear Elysia playing a role with her.
'Hehe... You look even more graceful and majestic now, Sister Elena.'
'Ufufu... Thank you, Ely. I'm flattered.'
Elysia and Elena just exchanged some pleasant chit-chat for a moment until the laser beam died down.
Elena glanced upward. The black clouds had disappeared somewhere. However, the artificial sun was still several hundred meters above her.
Then, she brushed her hand gently to the side. All of the particles and residual energy were blown away, revealing her divine self for everyone to see.
"Is that all? Supernova Blaster? Such power is still too far from the real supernova. The power that can rival the divine power, you said? That trivial attack doesn't even do anything to me." Elena spoke and gave a compassionate smile.
But that smile seemed contradictory in the eyes of the dwarves and all those who were watching her.
