Chapter 983 No Meddling
"..." Erina could only cover her face with her hands in embarrassment. She blushed fiercely as Elysia did something to her body at will.
She felt it was wrong, but she didn't hate it. She would wish for more if she could ask.
"Hum~ I've stabilized your energy flow. Why can you go into seclusion and still be in this state? Is there something bothering you, Erina?" Elysia finished doing a little massage to some of the acupoints on Erina's body.
"Uh, I don't know either. I can't focus." Erina immediately covered her body with a blanket, which was only clad in underwear.
"You know, your strength is based on emotions. If you can master your own emotions, then your power will be under your control. You can become an unrivaled peak level powerhouse." Elysia brought her face closer and put her finger on Erina's chin.
"I-I, I will achieve it someday. Thank you, Ellie. You helped me once again..." Erina meekly nodded, but she looked a bit disappointed with herself.
"Fufu, worry not. It's only natural for friends to help each other. I actually want to give you something. Here you go, ta-daa~" Elysia took out a pair of black-gold gloves from her Space Storage. It was the divine artifact she had made for Erina a while ago.
"This is..." Erina marveled as she looked at the glove. They were both well-designed, but for some reason, he felt that it was a top-tier treasure beyond measure.
"I named this artifact Fortune Gloves. It can help you control your ability and assist you to reach the pinnacle. You can get out of secluded and practice immediately. Here, I will help you put it on. It can never get dirty because of its self-cleaning ability ." Elysia grabbed Erina's arm and put the glove on Erina's delicate hands.
"Ellie, I think it's too precious. It's an artifact beyond high-level, right?" Erina tried to retract her hands, but she soon let Elysia put the gloves on her hands.
"I'm not going to lie to you. This is a divine artifact specially tailored for you. How are you going to thank me?" Elysia smiled and put her hands together.
"I don't know how to thank you, Ellie. Could you enlighten me on what you might want?" Erina felt that something connected her energy to the pair of gloves. Still, she was more concerned about what Elysia wanted from her. She knew her friend didn't give this divine artifact for free.
"What might I need, hmm? Alright, I want you." Elysia pointed at Erina's heart.
"You, you want me?" Erina was stunned for a moment, then she slowly blushed and covered her face. She muttered in a low voice to express her mood. "Ellie, I think... This kind of development is too fast."
"Why? Could you become my priestess? The Saintess from Earth, Erina. Are you willing?" Elysia tilted her head, feeling confused about why Erina felt so embarrassed.
"E-eh?" Erina seemed to have misunderstood the situation. Elysia gave a special divine artifact just for her as an investment. Still, she had to serve Elysia as the priestess?
"You asked me to join your religion, Ellie? What should I do for you?" Erina still felt confused. She and her family already adhere to a religion.
"Hmm~ How do I put this? Is there a God you worship?" Elysia took a bit of distance from Erina, but she didn't lessen the smile on her face.
"Um, we're followers of the Shinto religion." Erin nodded slightly.
"I see... you worship many Gods. The Queen of all 'us' is the Goddess Amaterasu. I will soon ascend to the divine class being after attaining my divinity. Still, I have no believers, nor do I need them. I only need my friends. Will you be mine? I'm curious if your prayers can reach me in another world. Elysia extended her hand in invitation.
Erina pondered for a moment. What Goddess Fortuna said before was proven true and was directly confirmed by Elysia. Elysia was a Goddess from another world. She wished to reach Elysia, and now the opportunity was right in front of her.
"En. Allow me to be your priestess." Erina put her hand into Elysia's hand.
At that moment, the temporary marker in Erina's soul was upgraded to the next level as she became one of Elysia's priestesses. However, it differed from the life-bound spirit connection that Elysia's people in Vrelenia had. Nevertheless, Erina became half of Elysia's people now.
"I'm glad to hear that. Alright, it's getting late. Be a good girl and sleep, OK? You can now talk to me via telepathy without waiting for me to contact you first. Starting tomorrow morning, you can end your seclusion because I have imparted some Another gift to you through this glove. You will know the moment you prove your identity to the its divine consciousness." Elysia tapped Erina's gloves.
"Are you coming back to your world soon, Ellie, I mean, Goddess Ellie? Can you stay the night here? I don't think I'm done telling you about Earth's situation. I hope you can tell me what the other world is like." Erina was still holding Elysia's hand, and she didn't intend to let it go anytime soon.
"OK." Elysia didn't mind it.
"Eh?" Erina didn't expect that instant response. She thought Elysia would reply with some comforting words because Elysia needed to return soon, but who would have thought that Elysia would agree.
'Sister Elena, can you meet the Earth Mother for me? She is already waiting for us outside.' Elysia glanced at the balcony.
'OK. Gaia seems to have a few things we need to know immediately.' Elena left the Elysian Realm and met Gaia to exchange information. Erina knew very little, and this Earth Mother was omniscient.
Elysia then chatted a few things with Erina while listening to the secret conversation between Elena and Gaia. She would know whatever Elena could know, after all.ReadNovelFull.com
"Hehe, so other worlds are far more dangerous than Earth? Hmm, that makes sense since this world values not only strength, but also civilization and technological progress." Erina was amazed when she saw the pictures on Elysia's camera.
"Not really. That world also has quite impressive technology. The only difference is that it has threats everywhere and it doesn't have as many people as Earth. But..." Elysia lay down beside Erina and stared up at the ceiling.
"But?" Erina waited for what Elysia would say next.
"I'm afraid that if humanity tries to invade the underworld, then the demons will openly surface as a form of revenge. I can't say for sure because Vrelenia's underworld is only the size of a continent. But, I guess Earth's underworld is just as big as Earth, or wider. There are also leaders and civilizations, kings and citizens. They are not pushvoer, but when humans cross the line, they will act decisively. Do you know what I want to say?" Elysia glanced sideways, looking into Erina's golden eyes.
Mm, the human race on Earth could be threatened due to a large number of demons. Perhaps, in the future, Earth will not be too peaceful. Do we need to do something to stop America and its allies' ambitions for the underworld? Erina also felt worried since Elysia said it clearly.
"Earth has many deities and God-like beings. They are obviously going to do something, and I shouldn't interfere. Well, what could a junior do, right? I'm not omnipotent." Elysia shrugged her shoulders with an innocent expression.
"Cough..." Gaia coughed when she heard Elysia's words. The existence that could be considered a top-tier Goddess condescendingly as a junior...
"Hehe, you're right. We should do our best for ourselves and those around us. What's more, that event won't happen soon since the underworld gate hasn't even been found yet." Erina chuckled lightly.
"Hmm, let's let someone else take care of it when the time comes. After Vrelenia manages to get out of the crisis, do you want to come with me to another world, Erina?" Elysia leaned her head against her hand while twirling a lock of Erina's hair. Erina's long hair had become golden, and the original brown hair only remained a little at the tip.
"When the time comes, I will definitely come with you, my lady. However, if it is now, I cannot do so. The current me is not worthy of you." Erina looked at Elysia apologetically.
"OK, I will take you away when the time comes." Elysia defended Erina's head.
A few minutes later, Erina drifted off to sleep because Elysia's caress gave her peace of mind.
'Ely, Gaia wants us to stay out of Earth's destiny. She can only tolerates anything related to Erina, the Minamoto Family or herself.' Elena entered the room as a transparent spirit.
'Yeah, as we might have guessed. The Earth will probably change drastically in a few years. The modern era will also come to an end, and the magic era will return soon, huh... The turning of the wheel of fate here is a bit confusing.' Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.
'What we can do? Instead of stopping the cause, those heaven's dwellers chose to let things happen. The mortal world is the field to amuse the Gods of Heaven, after all. As for Gaia, she only allows humans to develop or fall to follow the destiny of each individual.' Elena shrugged her shoulders.
Elysia kissed Erina on the forehead to soothe the sleeper's mind, then got out of bed. 'Now it's time for us to return.'
'Let's go.' Elena held Elysia's hand, and they immediately returned to Vrelenia.
