893 Divine Trap Scheme
“Elena, what do you have in mind right now? I know you are feeling restless. Everything will be fine. Why did your mood change all of a sudden?” Lifa had no idea about Elena’s sudden mood change.
“I wondered about what would happen if one or one of you or some of them became enemies. It was either due to a third party’s influence or something unexpected. Not the clone version of you, but it’s you.” Elena didn’t want to imagine if she and Elysia had to kill a comrade because of that situation.
The revival was one thing to consider, but the impact was more complex.
“I see, you’re worried about that. That’s natural, but can you trust us?” Lifa nodded in understanding.
“…” Elena didn’t answer, but she glanced at Rhea. Among the other divines, she trusted Rhea more than the others.
“You know… you really don’t have to worry about one of us turning into enemies because of the Ruvoid God’s influence or whatever. Rhea will never betray you, and neither will Nell. Yuuki and Vanessa’s lives are tied to your Ely. They also won’t be able to be corrupted if you protect their spirits well.” Lifa heaved a subtle sigh and explained a little.
“Yeah. No one can influence any of us. It’s like influencing everyone or nothing. The Ruvoid Gods know that Ely truly hard to be corrupted, so they decided to make Ely their pupper.” Nell explained her understanding of the situation a while ago.
“That avatar decided to copy Elysia’s data through her consciousness before sealing her, but only got the data sample from her body instead. But, that was still insanely powerful clone…” Lifa heaved a subtle sigh.
“Is it like that? However, you are not spiritually related to Ely, Lifa. You sometimes make me suspicious, but I try to believe you because you are Rhea’s mother.” Elena felt complicated, but she didn’t change her expression.
“Master Elena, please forgive me. I failed to protect Ely at that time from the Ruvoid God’s trap. My mother is good.” Rhea knelt before Elena.
“Stand up. There’s no one’s fault there but those Ruvoid Gods. I’ll kill as many of their avatars as they want before they die. But, they have the data of Elysia’s clone… This is really annoying.” Elena folded her arms.
“You already have a part of Nell’s spirit in your upper dantian, Rhea’s life connection in your lower one… Then a life-death spirit connection with Vanessa and Yuuki in your middle one. Where will you place my spirit connection? Do you dare have a spirit relationship with me? The price might not be cheap.” Lifa put her hand to her cheek and smiled faintly.
“…” Elena didn’t expect to get such a challenge. She didn’t understand why it came out of Lifa’s mouth so quickly. Still, it made her feel that her previous worries were unnecessary.
“Would you feel doubtful and indecisive if the upcoming Ruvoid God’s avatars took the form of Elysia?” Lifa asked with a meaningful expression.
“They only have fake forms. Elysia is Elysia because she is Elysia, my Ely. I will eliminate the evil clone who dares to take the form of my dear Ely.” Elena clenched her fists.
“Regarding that… I’ve exterminated the remaining consciousness of the avatar that Master Elysia had eliminated. One of the Ruvoid Gods on the moon might receive a backlash. I hope they don’t have Master Elysia’s data because that avatar core was destroyed and its consciousness remnant was destroyed.” Rhea raised her hand for attention.
“Is that true? You did a great job, Rhea. I hope it’s true. It’s quite annoying if they can clone Ely with her copied magical power.” Elena breathed a sigh of relief.
“I was wondering, how much magic power you really have. You can see and judge a person’s abilities with that pair of beautiful eyes, right? Is that described in terms of grades and numbers?” Lifa asked in wonder.
“You will never know. The price for the privilege is very high and limited. Not everyone can get it.” Elena was starting to think about it now.
“Well…” Lifa rubbed her forehead and didn’t bring up the topic anymore.
“Psst, Elena, I know you have concerns about Elysia’s weak resistance against direct mental attacks. I know a method to prevent any mental attacks. It’s a divine protection forged in training. Do you want to know more?” Nell whispered into Elena’s ear.
“!?” Elena was intrigued entirely, but she didn’t express it.
“Uhm, Master Elysia’s spirit connection with Nell and I is actually also a divine protection. Our divine mark will activate to protect Elysia’s spirit and consciousness when it is really needed. However, we can’t rely on that because Master Elysia needs to suffer first before it activates.” Rhea put her hand to her chin and sighed.
“You mean, your divine marks will protect Ely if I fail to bring her consciousness back to her spirit at that time? I can’t risk Ely’s life on something as uncertain as that.” Elena shook her head.
“Ely’s divine ascension will take time. Rather than that, how about we set several traps for any Ruvoid God’s avatar who will target Ely again? We’ll put our divine protection in place, and–” Lifa explained her sly plans.
“That’s a good idea. Let’s do it now before Ely wakes up.” Elena smirked and invited the three Goddesses to come closer.
Elena, Lifa, Nell, and Rhea set secret divine traps on Elysia’s body in anticipation of the Ruvoid God’s attack.
Elena didn’t want to see Elysia suffer or get hurt anymore, and she would do anything for it. For the attackers… They would probably receive a worse gift than death.
“Hmm~” Elena’s mood improved significantly after Elysia’s body had at least a hundred divine traps in various shapes and forms. No one could invade Elysia’s body, spirit, or consciousness with malicious intent unless the bad guys were ready to suffer.
“Elena… When are you going to take me to your Private Realm? I heard you and Ely have already named it Elysian Realm, the realm of dream paradise. Why only Big Sister Rhea?” Nell lay on the bed, pleading with an expectant tone.
“We don’t know yet about how to invite other people there. Even we can only invite Rhea’s consciousness there when she is in this bracelet’s mini realm.” Elena pointed to Rhea’s turquoise divine bracelet on her wrist.
“Hmm, I’ll be looking forward to it. You can pay a visit to my Firmament Realm sometime also.” Nell waved her hand.
“…” Elena went silent as she checked the layered barrier around the room. She hoped the Ruvoid Gods on the moon couldn’t eavesdrop on their plans and trapping schemes just now.
‘Hopefully, those two damned monsters can’t see our path of destiny, Ely. If they’re better than Fortuna or Luna in this regard, we’ll be in a lot of trouble… But, eight avatars this month, huh… Will they break free next month?’ Elena wondered in her mind. She then sat back on the sofa and closed her eyes to check Elysia’s condition.
After that, she invited everyone to go back to the Human Continent. Evelyn and Ella hadn’t given any news, which caused worry, considering they might also be targeted.
It was already dusk in Aeddoterra City, the Human Continent’s Central Region.
‘Eve, Ella, how’s your situation? It’s been half a day, but we haven’t heard from you yet. Is everything okay?’ Elena spoke to Evelyn and Ella via spirit telepathy.
‘Ely? The situation in Ariatha Kingdom is a little tricky. I encountered some very annoying troublemakers. Wait a minute, I’ll sort this out soon and rejoin you. May I know where your current location is?’ Evelyn excused herself from the others before answering the one-way telepathy.
‘All right. We are currently in the Holy City.’ Elena felt that there was a political problem on the other side.
‘My mission in the northern and eastern regions has been completed. I’ll be right back in a few minutes, Ely. Please wait for me!’ Evelyn finally had a reason to run away from her annoying situation.
Elena then ended the conversation and again tried to contact Ella. However, she has yet to receive a response.
‘Nell, Ella didn’t answer my spirit telepathy. She and the holy knights were responsible for distributing the anti-curse mechanism in the central, southern, and western regions. Could something possibly have happened?’ Elena raised her eyebrows as she paced back and forth.
‘I’ll go find Ella now. She and her private guardian knights may be trapped in a domain, or in a disturbance zone in the western region.’ Nell was starting to get worried too.
‘I will go with you. We can teleport there.’ Elena volunteered.
‘All right, but just the two of us or everyone going together?’ Nell thought it was a good idea.
‘Then let’s all go to the western region. I can feel the spirit mark Elysia coming from the west.’ Elena looked up at the western sky. She hoped Ella was still okay and just in the distraction zone like Nell thought.
