850 The Fate Goddess
Fortuna glanced at everyone. She had been dying to meet them since last month, but she just got the luxury of that occasion today.
There were so many things she wanted to say and ask, but she couldn’t rush it because it would make the other party uncomfortable. Despite her curiosity, she smiled and started a light conversation. However, the big dragon-like man suddenly caught her attention because he was the only man in the room.
“My apologies, but may I ask about that brave warrior? Is he the lucky protagonist? He is so lucky to have so many heavenly beauties. A certain God and many men will probably turn green in envy.” Fortuna pointed her hand to GIo.
“Hmm, he is Gio. Our good boy, companion, or maybe a pet? He is a good boy.” Lifa raised her palm.
“P-pet?” Fortuna was a bit surprised.
“Yeah, pet, hahaha! He’s actually a cute little earth dragon.” Darkness threw herself on the sofa and picked up some fruit on the table to eat.
“Elysia fainted, and we should wait until she regains consciousness. We can’t participate in the meeting in this situation.” Gaia sighed. Elysia fainted, and Lina didn’t come out of Elysia’s body. So, they can only wait now.
“How’s Ely?” Rhea asked somewhat anxiously.
“She’s fine, just a little tired from using too much high-level magic in such a short time.” Nell finished checking on Elysia and went to the pillow near Elysia’s head to give some head pats.
Vanessa and Yuuki came closer. They rested their heads on their arms on the bed while swinging their tails, waiting for their master to wake up.
Elysia’s group had already deactivated their divine battlesuit. They would use their current opportunity to rest for a while.
Sylvia also sat down on the sofa, enjoying the fruit. “Hey, Darkness the succubus. Are you trying to tease me by staying in that skimpy outfit and alluring pose?”
“Huh? I told you I’m not a succubus. Don’t compare me to those lowly love-thirsty demons!” Darkness was instantly annoyed.
“Hehe, then how do you explain your succubus horns? Your succubus tail? Sexy body with love charm. Then, that hidden, disguised womb tattoo? You’re a succubus deity or what?” Sylvia teased with a mischievous smile while pointing at the obvious.
“Yeah, a succubus, without a doubt.” Xentia nodded in agreement.
“I’ve been a Goddess of Darkness since birth. Please don’t compare me to a succubus, even though we have some similarities. I am who I am. I will be angry if you continue to irritate me.” Darkness immediately changed her clothes and put on her casual black dress in an instant.
“So the prophecy is true. The one who will unite the divine will come one day to bring good. Could it be Elysia?” Fortuna was honestly a bit shocked that these Goddesses seemed so fixated on Elysia right now. So, the leader was that human girl with God-like capability?
“Hm, you also have your own prophecy, huh… However, isn’t that a bit strange? Elysia said that she came from Earth before being sent to our world for reasons we don’t understand. Everything is mysterious to them, and they are also looking for the truth.” Lifa once again felt that Elysia and Elena’s existence was very mysterious. Gaia didn’t know anything either, so what about Heaven’s dweller?
“Them? Would you mind chatting with me over a cup of tea?” Fortuna invited the ladies to sit at a round table near the balcony.
“Sure. I also want to know a few things from you.” Lifa didn’t mind.
“Life Goddess, Earth Mother, be careful because that Hypocritical Goddess is very cunning and two-faced. She will use anything for her personal gain. Hey, our deal is now over. Isn’t it time for you to release the slave seal from me? I’m not your underling. anymore!” Darkness complained while pointing to her head.
“I’ve been taking it off since you completed the last task I requested. Also, don’t call me by that unseemly name. You are a naughty devil who should receive heavenly punishment. You should thank me for getting leniency and just needing to do a few errands.” Fortuna flapped her hand and sighed.
“Is it like that? Oh~ I’m free!” Darkness tried to check it, and it proved to be true. She was elated but lay back on the sofa a moment later.
“I’m a devil too, you know? Don’t be biased because of racial differences.” Sylvia pointed a finger in her face.
“But, you are a good devil, right?” Xentia responded innocently.
“Ah, you quite understand me, mecha girl. Come here. I’ll give you lots of head pats.” Sylvia smiled happily.
“Xentia is not a mecha girl. It’s Xentia, Xentia!” Xentia felt offended at being called by a name she didn’t like.
“Yeah, that was the payback because you called me devil and devil the other day. Come here, we made up. You were so mean to me yesterday.” Sylvia patted the sofa next to her.
“Eh, is it true? Xentia is good. Apologize if wrong.” Xentia blinked her eyes in surprise. She then sat down next to Sylvia, and they shook hands.
“Regarding your previous question, I’m afraid to say it. However, Elysia is not recognized as a resident of this world. The world’s law cannot identify her. Does that happen in your world too?” Fortuna shook her head and glanced at Elysia.
“So it’s like… Maybe, what Ruvoid God alluded to last month has some truth? Elysia and her master are residents of the higher world. They may have lost their memories, but Elysia said she is from Earth. She never lies. And I think that’s the truth.” Lifa put her thoughts to her chin.
“If that’s the case, then it’s most likely that Elysia and her master once lived on Earth. However, maybe she was dead in this world and reincarnated into your world.” Gaia tried to come to a conjecture.
“Mm, when I first came to Earth with Ely, I accompanied Ely to visit her friend’s grave. His family is also not very friendly. They are happy to enjoy their time in wealth after their son died.” Sylvia raised her hand.
“Him? A boy? Could he possibly be Ely’s boyfriend? Sylvi, where is the grave site you’re referring to? Did Ely really reincarnate from Earth? Have you ever visited her grave?” Evelyn suddenly asked. She was very interested in anything that concerned her best friend. She would uncover the truth and get to know Elysia better.
“No, we never go to Ely’s grave on Earth. Ely once said that she no longer had any family on Earth. So, maybe they are also dead, and their graves don’t exist because they were never found. I think Ali is just Ely’s friend.” Sylvia tried to recall the last month’s event.
“Ely is alive. She is here with us. Please don’t talk about it anymore. You will only bring old wounds and sorrow.” Rhea pursed her lips. She didn’t like this topic being discussed for whatever reason because she knew Elysia and Elena didn’t like it either.
“…” The room suddenly became silent.
Ai and Lynn then went to the side of the bed, waiting for Elysia to wake up with Vanessa and Yuuki.
“Wait, where’s Tic?” Nell just realized that there was someone in their group who couldn’t be found anywhere.
“He originally wanted to raid the Council’s island because he was so annoyed. However, he went to the center of the pillar of light with the God King’s entourage. Zhao Fu and Arthrozan also inspected Heaven’s sky hole.” Lifa answered while looking at the hole in the sky in the distance.
After that, Lifa discussed many things with Fortuna and Gaia. They let everyone know what they are talking about without hiding a few things because the others should also know what they are talking about.
Elysia was the only one who was oblivious to the discussion. Nevertheless, Elena listened to everything but didn’t wish to do anything. She regularly checked Elysia’s spirit and body because she didn’t want anything bad to happen to Elysia.
Two hours passed. Elysia’s finger twitched slightly, and her eyelashes fluttered. She opened her eyes slowly with a bit of confusion.
She was currently lying in an unfamiliar place, with an unknown ceiling, a different atmosphere, and a strange feeling.
“Ely?”
A soft yet tender voice sounded so close to her ears. Elysia turned to the side and found Nell on her pillow, so close to her face. She soon noticed her friends looking at her worriedly.
“Sorry for worrying you all. I just needed a little rest, and all is well now. Thank you for taking care of me.” Elysia propelled her body to sit, and Rhea immediately helped her.
“Here, please drink first. You are short of fluids, Ely.” Evelyn brought a glass of water.
“Thank you.” Elysia accepted that, but Evelyn kept her hand on the glass all day.
It was like mineral water, but much fresher and made her body fit.
“Glad to see you’re okay. That was heavenly dew. I hope you feel better now, Elysia.” Gaia greeted from near the balcony.
Elysia looked to the side. She thought that Elena was sitting next to Lifa, but she soon realized that lady was Fortuna.
“Very well, now is the time for us to join the meeting. The God King is already waiting for us, and the meeting has been delayed by an hour. We can’t make them wait any longer, or they will get annoyed.” Fortuna stood up and put her hands together. She then asked everyone to gather near her.
