841 Superbomb
One hour after sunrise, Elysia woke up from her sleep. She had just opened her eyes, but she heard some whispers in her mind.
‘Ely, Ely, please wake up… Can you hear me?’
‘Master Elysia, you are finally awake. Gaia wanted to return to the outside world as soon as possible. We are nearing the time of ascension to the Heaven Realm.’
Nell and Rhea were relieved that Elysia was finally awake.
“Uh, mm, okay…” Elysia propelled her body to sit up. She gripped the green gem in her necklace and spoke the code before setting the location for the opening of the realm portal.
A dimensional portal hole formed and widened to the size of a human to pass through. Gaia exited the Nature Realm and checked her hourglass. “Elysia, please wake up your master now. We only have an hour of preparation before we head to the Heaven Realm. We must not be late, or it will be fatal.”
“O-okay.” Elysia immediately shook Elena’s body.
Unfortunately, Elena only opened her eyes slightly and entered the Elysian Realm half-consciously.
‘Sister, Sister Elena? We will soon ascend to the Heaven Realm. Are you going to sleep again?’ Elysia felt a bit overwhelmed.
‘I’m just lying down and protecting you from here. It would be much more effective. Please have breakfast, and we can go.’ Elena yawned and lay down on her bed next to Elysia’s spirit.
‘Uh, okay.’ Elysia couldn’t say anything because Elena didn’t plan to go to sleep again.
After that, everyone exited the Nature Realm. When Elysia closed the portal, Ai suddenly grabbed her by the arm and looked at her face.
Elysia knew what Ai wanted, and she just nodded without them needing to speak. Therefore, Ai went straight into Elysia’s shadow and finally felt calm and peaceful.
“Hmm~ Let’s go have breakfast first. I know you really need it for your body. The good spirits have prepared everything for us.” Gaia put her hand to her cheek and led everyone out of the hut.
Elysia and the girls agreed with that. They greeted each other good morning, then headed out of the hut led by Gaia.
“…” Vanessa could only heave a subtle sigh as she couldn’t get her morning routine today.
‘Master Elysia.’ Rhea called out with a whisper-like voice. She grabbed Elysia’s hand and grasped it.
‘Hm?’ Elysia looked at Rhea curiously.
‘Lynn predicted the future some time ago. She saw that you were going to get hurt and ended up making a tough decision. I’m sorry, but I won’t leave your side even if you order me to.’ Rhea stated her intentions with a solemn tone.
‘You also said the same thing as Sister Elena. Is that really going to happen? Am I really being targeted?’ Elysia felt shocked from the bottom of her heart.
‘Yes. Even if it’s just one of Lynn’s predictions, I still can’t rule out the possibility. It may become a situation where we are all forced to be kept busy by troublesome enemies, and no one can come to your side in time. I presume Master Elena already has a similar hunch even though the prophecy hasn’t been done by Lynn.’ Rhea conveyed the prophecy and the situation with a simple explanation.
‘I see, so because of that… It makes sense now.’ Elysia finally understood the origin of Elena’s restlessness last night. Perhaps, Elena already knew that possibility because of the suspicion.
‘Master Elysia, some people might fall. Are you ready to plunge into the heavenly battlefield to fight the Ruvoid God’s full power? He may have regained his peak strength thanks to the Council.’ Rhea stopped walking and looked into Elysia’s eyes.
‘I can’t guarantee the other parties, but I will protect my close ones at all cost. I brought them here, so I’ll also be responsible for ensuring we get back safely.’ Elysia stated her intention in an unequivocally inviolable tone. She hated tragedy, especially if it happened to her loved ones.
‘Then we will help you. We made many plans last night, and I’m sure Master Elena has also designed many scenarios with you.’ Rhea nodded in understanding.
‘You didn’t sleep all night? Everyone else too?’
‘Under certain circumstances, sleep is insignificant for Saint-level or above. We’re fine without sleep for tens or hundreds of days, though.’ Rhea heaved a subtle sigh.
‘Ely, please don’t fuss over their decision. They all think about you, about the good of us all. If it’s like this, I won’t leave the Elysian Realm, and Ai won’t leave your shadow either. Rhea, Nell, and Xentia will protect you close at hand. While the others will be in defensive formation. We’re going to use a bruiser and sniper plan.’ Elena changed her plan. She already had many strategies to defeat the Ruvoid God and the Council.
‘Uhh, this all happened because I was indecisive during our last encounter with Alashor. If only we gave him the punishment he deserved regardless of the Council’s threats and interferences…’ Elysia couldn’t help but sigh as she recalled the last month’s events.
‘Hmm, it’s not anyone’s fault, and we won’t progress if we continue to dwell on past mistakes. Ely, don’t forget to give the superbomb to Xero. He wanted to carry out the execution on the front line, and we are the finishers.’ Elena tried to reassure Elysia and changed the focus to the current and future situation.
‘Mm, all right.’ Elysia took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She then opened a telepathic discussion. ‘Ai, are you all right? Are you ready?’
‘I’m fully prepared, Ely. However, as our usual battle tactic, I will remain in your shadow for surprise attacks on the enemies. You are my flesh shield, but I won’t let you get hurt either.’ Ai answered confidently.
‘Very well. However, don’t you want to have breakfast first? Look, the nature spirits are already serving breakfast for all of us.’ Elysia gazed at a banquet in a valley between two mountains.
‘Hmm, sure. Please send my breakfast to your shadow. Also, please bring Cherub here. He’s still with Gio over there.’ I just agree.
‘Okay.’ Elysia nodded in understanding.
They all then descended the mountain and participated in that breakfast banquet.
Since they only had an hour until the appointed time, the breakfast was rather rushed.
Even so, everyone still used their precious time to fill their stomachs with those nutrient-rich foods. Every dish was fresh and delicious and could be considered a wonderful feast before the grand battle.
“Tic.” Elysia called out when Xero happened to come nearby.
“What?” Xero stopped in his tracks.
“Here, please take this with you.” Elysia gave the jet-black basketball.
“What is this thing?” Xero received the object reflexively.
“A superbomb. It may be more powerful than a large nuclear bomb and capable of obliterating a large island instantly. Please give this to Alashor as our small gift.” Elysia smiled like a little girl.
“Heh, that’s interesting. However, do you think I need this to beat him?” Xero grinned, but his expression said he was dissatisfied.
“I don’t know. Alashor has a gigantic divine golem, right? You’ve fought it before, and it’s the Council’s ancient artifact. You might want to nuke that golem after exchanging a few moves?” Elysia shrugged her shoulders. She needed to be careful not to offend Xero because she knew this Heretic God wanted revenge for the last battle.
“That makes sense. Then, I’ll accept it and give this to him as a small gift. Hehehe…” Xero kept the bomb in a safe place and went to the center of the giant magic circle formation.
“Hm?” Elysia looked left and right in wonder. Several deities around her stared at her in shock as if they were looking at an alien. “Excuse me. Is there something wrong?”
“Yo, young lady… I feel how you treated that bomb of mass destruction in our midst just now is worrying and dangerous. It is so dangerous and can destroy a large island? Why do you treat it like a normal basketball?” A young deity wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Phew, if it falls, we will perish here before we can participate in the divine battlefield.”
“You guys worry too much. Look at your nervousness. I just hope you don’t die on the battlefield right away.”
“Yeah, some of us are the weakest in the association. That’s why we are assigned to the menial tasks.”
“Come to think of it, I did feel both nervous and excited. It would be fine if I died defending the welfare of the heavens since I was able to reincarnate.”
“Hey, what if your opponent could inflict a true death on you? That’s a tragic ending. Our opponent is an otherworldly evil, cursed God! And he has the entire Council battle prowess on his back.”
“You’re saying it now.”
Several deities muttered amongst each other due to their respective worries and anxieties. Everything was reasonable because some of them couldn’t be called powerful ones. That was why they had a lot of considerations and were nervous because they would soon be going into the heavenly battle with no way back.
“The weak will remain weak until the end of infinity. Have you failed to realize that they, the divine beings and angels from another world, are still calm? They are confident that they can destroy the threat of doom.” Zhao Fu snorted mockingly as he walked towards the magic circle formation.
“…” Elysia shrugged her shoulders and looked at everyone behind her.
Gaia only responded with a smile and entered the magic circle. Elysia and her entire group followed shortly after.
“Just stay here if you’re afraid to die. You won’t be of any use either. But, you might gradually taint your soul and lose your Godly power due to your cowardice, hahaha!” Arthrozan laughed harshly.
