Chapter 827 Resolve the Last Root
“So you are the ruler who just died in your own domain. I know you only told Elysia half of your factual plans. Tell us everything now.” Xero looked the newcomer up and down.
“Fufu, it was my carelessness while researching ruins from another dimension. Who would have thought the Council would go so far as to injure me for the sake of that God Game.” Earth Mother covered her mouth and went to sit on the sofa casually.
“Hm, you never said the God Game would be a waste since the Earth Realm was sealed. It would have been much easier for us to demoralize them if you had told us earlier.” Nell sighed and shook her head.
“…” Elysia took the opportunity to check the Earth Mother’s status screen.
“That’s no good, Elysia. Peering into other people’s secret privacy without permission.” Earth Mother covered her chest.
“Eh-huh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean anything bad.” Elysia was surprised because her action was noticed by the other party.
“Well then, what can you see? Is that my avatar info or the real me?” Earth Mother put her hands on her lap and smiled curiously.
“I’m not sure…” Elysia thought about it for a moment. She knew no difference between an avatar’s status screen and the actual body. Nothing to compare.
Oceanid’s case was unique because he split himself, including his power, into several separate entities.
“Fufu… As I thought. Your eyes are capable of discovering the truth within the secret. That’s a scary ability, but it can be beneficial. That’s how you can find Zhao Fu’s true identity and make him an ally, right?” Gaia stared deeply into Elysia’s purplish blue eyes. She seemed to be peering into a vast, boundless, scary, sacred, and beautiful universe.
“Looks like you guessed something wrong, Gaia.” Elena heaved a subtle sigh.
“Am I wrong?” Gaia blinked her eyes with an innocent look.
“You don’t know us much. Only half of your guesses are right.” Elena glanced at Gaia’s bluish-green eyes.
“Is it like that?” Gaia simply brushed aside the previous topic.
“Your avatar is a bit different from what your followers depict.” Elena changed the topic of conversation before going to the main subject.
“It’s just a figment of their imagination, after all. They’ve never seen my form. I can appear in any form, but the current me is the one I use for serious dealings with heaven, earth and hell.” Gaia shook her head slightly.
“Well then, we want to know what you have in mind. Tell us everything that we need to know.” Elena nodded and raised the most important topic.
Gaia then elaborated her plans to everyone. She also conveyed her gratitude because Elysia’s group could fulfill her request.
“I don’t care about your simple plan, nor do I need to waste my time fixing the world’s law. These Goddesses can do that tedious job. One thing’s for sure, you won’t be able to leave any seals on me. Tomorrow morning is the time for us to depart for the Heaven Realm. I better use my time to meditate.” Xero got up from his seat and went upstairs. He planned to go to a good place for recovery meditation.
“Oh, what a pity. Though I have a very good place if you want to recuperate. You just need to help us with miscellaneous things and tomorrow morning we can depart for the Heaven Realm in full force.” Gaia put her hand to her cheek while looking up at the sky outside the window. She spoke as if it was a matter of regret.
“…” Xero stopped in his tracks just before he went up the stairs. He considered his decision and immediately made a choice.
After all, he could get an excellent recovery spot and resources from the realm’s ruler. It was the most effective method for his recovery.
“I want to know the details regarding what we are going to do today.” Xero came back and tapped the table for attention.
“Oh my, you intend to help? Sure thing. Please sit back, and I will tell you all.” Gaia put her hands together with a bright expression.
“Your sudden change of mind makes me worry about how easily you are persuaded.” Nell narrowed her eyes at Xero.
“Tch, shut up.” Xero folded his arms.
“Fufu, that’s fine. He just knows to choose the right choice rather than being consumed by his ego. Yup, that’s a rapid improvement.” Lifa nodded happily.
“Noisy.” Xero frowned.
“…” Gaia was somewhat astonished at why this Evil God could be so familiar and well-behaved among the Virtue Goddesses.
‘He was bad, but he is now good?’ Gaia muttered in wonder.
“Are all of us going to do the repair? How are we going to deal with that Ancient Demon God?” Elysia raised her hand.
“Hmm, it would be much quicker if you all help, but that’s fine with just you, divine beings from another world. Elysia, you’ve made a little plan with your human friends, haven’t you? For that Ancient Demon God… I, your master, and Zhao Fu are enough to handle him.
He purposely came to you for help, and your girl-friends shall accompany you. Several vital individuals will need your help there. The world law damage is not too severe because your group magic’s impact lasted only two days. Just make sure not to use otherworldly magic again, okay? Please use the magical energy you received from this world like the result of your recovery meditation in the last two days.” Gaia gave a wink and a gentle smile at the end of her sentence.
“Eh? It’s just me? Can I just go with my disciple? She need me.” Elena was stunned by the decision. She would literally be away from Elysia for most of the day.
“It’s not just you, but all of your God comrades. You have to be responsible for Elysia’s part as well. You can’t run away or ignore a promise that’s been made.” Gaia wiggled her fingers left and right.
“No way…” Elena looked at Elysia with a pitiful expression. She was not willing to leave Elysia just like that.
“What to do? I’ll be fine. I’m counting on you, master.” Elysia held Elena’s hand with a sweet smile.
‘You made the promise with her, and I should be held responsible? Ely, how will you compensate me?’ Elena didn’t just make peace. She sulked in her mind.
‘Forgive me. If we know this, I’d rather refuse to help Hong Ju-Won. Earth Mother also said she would recover the day after tomorrow, yesterday. It should be tommorow. However, she arrived one day early. We planned the Divine Association to do the cleaning work, but the situation suddenly changed and the plan accelerated once again. I thought, we can relax for recovery today…’ Elysia looked down.
Even so, she heaved a subtle sigh and thought of an attractive compensation for Elena. ‘Hmm, how about this. After this, I shall grant your request.’
‘Nah, we didn’t know this situation would happen. We also already discussed this. Anyway, you would do anything for my wish, dear Ely? Hehe, I haven’t even state my request during that event. So, I have two wishes now?’ Elena smiled mysteriously.
‘Uuh, only within my limits. I trust you… Just don’t do anything naughty, okay? I remind you.’ Elysia gulped her saliva. Elena had two wishes now, and she didn’t even know what Elena would ask for even though their mind sync was still there!
‘Fufu, everything is okay then~ I just haven’t thought about it, so you won’t be able to tell what it is. Let’s consider it a pleasant surprises, Ely. You’ll love it, I’m absolutely sure~’ Elena smiled mischievously and licked her lips.
‘What, what are you going to do to me? You’ve become a naughty girl lately…’ Elysia felt lost in that exchange. She felt trapped because of that vague answer.
“All right. I have already discussed this with my precious disciple. We should leave now.” Elena raised her fist with renewed vigor.
“Perfect.” Gaia put her hands together with a bright expression.
“Wait, I need to tell the girls a few things first. I can’t leave Elysia without divine protection for long.” Rhea looked deeply at Gaia. She was insecure about this arrangement, but Elena had already decided.
“Sure.” Gaia just nodded. She knew Elysia was essential to this group and maybe the group’s core.
“…” Gaia was silent as she glanced at Elysia and Elena several times.
They were two mysterious Goddesses, but in truth, they were one. She had no idea why they separated themselves into two different entities with different minds, personalities, and spirits.
“Yeah, we should talk to the girls about this for a bit.” Elena went to the living room.
Elysia, Lifa, Rhea, and Nell followed shortly after. The Goddesses conveyed some essential things and gave a big responsibility to the girls, namely to protect Elysia while they were away for a while.
“O-oh! I’ll do it. We’ll take good care of Ely until you come back.” Xentia raised her hands with enthusiasm. She had just won a few games, and now this critical task. She was feeling so excited.
“Ely’s safety is our priority. Please don’t worry.” Lynn put her hand on her upper chest respectfully.
“Master, trip. We protect.” Vanessa approached Elysia to ask for some head pats.
“Mm.” Yuuki just nodded silently. She also received some head pats.
“That’s fine, but won’t we be so conspicuous if we move between humans with this group arrangement?” Ai put her hand to her chin.
“That’s fine. Lynn, Vann, and Yuuki will become little beasts and all are safe. Ai, Eve, and I will wait inside Ely’s shadow for a while until we arrive at our destination. How about it? Isn’t that a great arrangement?” Sylvia presented her opinion to everyone.
“Where’s Xentia? Why don’t you mention Xentia in the arrangement?” Xentia pouted with great dissatisfaction.
“You will be by Ely’s side, of course. You are the one who possesses pure Earth-origin magic energy, so you have the most important task of escorting Ely in the forefront. Can you do that, Xentia? Ely’s safety is our priority.” Sylvia put her hand on Xentia’s shoulder with a solemn expression.
“Xentia understand! All intruders, destroy. Goddess Ely is a priority.” Xentia nodded in understanding and clenched her hand into a fist.
“Let me change the arrangement a bit.” Elena suggested Sylvia and Vanessa be next to Elysia with Xentia. As for the other girls and the pets would do their job from Ely’s shadow with Ai until they arrived in Seoul.
Rhea supported Elena’s idea, and it became the final decision. No one objected either.
“In that case, now is the time for us to go to resolve all the root causes. The sooner the problem is over, the better. That way, we can depart for the Heaven Realm well-prepared tomorrow morning.” Gaia put her hands together with a tender smile adorned her face.
Elena, Rhea, Lifa, and Nell waved their hands at Elysia and the girls. After that, Gaia took Xero and the Goddesses away by teleportation.
