907 Sealed Their Fate
“Ely, do you desire me?” Evelyn came closer and held out her hand to Elysia.
“I need you.” Elysia grasped Evelyn’s hand.
“However, I am not as good as everyone else. I am still an ordinary young girl with little experience. I want to help, and lighten the load on your shoulders, but there isn’t much I can do. Sometimes, I feel useless.” Evelyn smiled weakly.
“You are wrong, Eve. You shine brightly, but you just haven’t caught your spotlight yet. We are just a flower that hasn’t bloomed yet and is still growing. Can you show me your motivation?” Elysia smiled gently while stroking Evelyn’s hand. This girl was her first friend, who was sincere and precious.
No one could tell what might await them, but she wanted to tie her destiny with them. It might sound selfish, but Elysia was feeling weak. She was craving for accompany.
“I will strive to serve you. I will develop to become your worthy loyal servant in the future. There may not be much I currently can do, but please allow me to stay by your side, Ely. If I is what you desire, then I will gladly offer my fate to you. You are my Goddess.” Evelyn expressed her feelings with a resolved gaze. She felt that she could reach her best friend. Elysia was waiting for her by giving her a chance.
“Eve, thank you. Please lend me your strength.” Elysia brought her face closer to Evelyn’s and pressed their foreheads together.
“I shall be yours.” Evelyn opened her heart and spirit. She let her best friend forge a permanent spirit connection with her even though she knew the consequences. She was willing to risk everything if it would allow her to reach her Goddess.
A connection was established without a hitch since both parties were well-compatible and trusted each other. Evelyn felt something inside herself was missing, but it was soon replenished. He could sense Elysia’s existence within him and could also tell that her spirit mark was already inside Elysia to hold.
Now, her life bonded with her best friend, and she would follow either in life or death.
‘Eve, you may see me as a strong Goddess, but I am actually weak, fragile, and maybe a crybaby. I can’t stand to see my closed ones perish before my eyes.’ Elysia spoke to Evelyn via spirit telepathy.
‘Ely, please don’t say that. If you are weak, I am one dimension below the small fry. You are a Goddess in training stronger than anyone with unlimited potential.
That’s why you can make the Goddesses willing to contract with you. Even your master is your contracted Goddess, too, right? You are what connects us together. Anyone would hate to see a tragedy.’ Evelyn opened her eyes and saw Elysia’s purplish-blue eyes up close with awe.
‘I originally wanted to tie your lives and destiny with mine because I don’t want anyone to die. We will shoulder them together. I can’t do it alone because I’m not strong enough. However, Aria said we can borrow everyone’s strength to solidify ourselves into a single existence.’ Elysia subconsciously glanced at her left hand.
‘Do you want to do something with your master, Ely? May I know what it is?’ Evelyn could guess something, but she wanted to know the truth.
‘Mm, we might be pushed around and forced to unleash a sealed almighty magic that will kill me. The repercussion is very deadly.’ Elysia took a little distance from Evelyn’s face and smiled innocently.
‘Ely, you’re not going to make a self-sacrifice, are you? Why should it be you?’ Evelyn widened her eyes.
‘That is our last resort. I am the key, the core to finish everything. However, we hope to borrow everyone’s strength. That way, we can avoid the lethal repercussion. I can’t bring everyone to disappear with me, can I?’ Elysia grasped her hand. She made Evelyn the first to know about her last resort.
‘By all means, please use our power. You need to talk to everyone, and they will definitely do what you ask them willingly. However, please don’t shoulder everything by yourself, Ely. Don’t leave me and disappear.’ Evelyn grasped Elysia’s arms with a solemn expression.
‘Mm, we’ll talk about this to everyone soon. You are the first person I tell. Goddess Aria will teach us about absolute spirit connection and fusion.’ Elysia clapped Evelyn’s hand.
‘En, alright. I believe you and your master are not reckless people. You always come with some careful planning and preparation. I am willing to help and serve you. And I’m sure everyone else does too.’ Evelyn nodded in understanding, but that still didn’t relieve her. Even so, she felt glad because Elysia recognized her.
Evelyn then joins the girls and shares a few things about the experiences of spirit connection. She didn’t tell about Elysia’s last resort plan because Elysia would tell everyone about it when the time came.
Ella then came closer to Elysia with teary eyes. That confused everyone, and Elysia did too.
‘Ella, what’s wrong? Do you feel reluctant and change your mind? We seem too much to ask.’ Elysia could tell that Rhea and Elena were ready to erase Ella’s memory about the recent event if Ella suddenly changed her mind.
‘No, Ely. Thanks for asking, but I’m willing to risk my life to save the world. It’s just, the Goddess of Blessings just spoke to me. She said that she doesn’t need me. I might be able to become her angel, but it’s impossible to be appointed as the real one on her side. Ely, am I so undesirable and hopeless?’ Ella’s lips trembled. The tears in her eyes were about to spill out.
‘Ah…’ Elysia finally grasped the whole situation. Nell just said some mean things for Ella to understand.
‘Her divine self said that directly to my mind. She asked me to have a life and death relationship with you, and I will be fine. If you are a Goddess in training, will my Goddess just discard me and abandon me to be handed over to another rising Goddess? I really don’t get it, Ely. Help me, what should I do?’ Ella grasped Elysia’s hands. She felt so confused and scared that she couldn’t think straight.
‘Ella, actually, the Goddess of Blessings had told us about her situation. You are her angel’s descendant, and it will only take old wounds to raise another angel. She lost everything dear to her. Can you feel her pain in her rejection?’ Elysia gently told Ella.
She didn’t understand why Nell would say that to Ella now, but she knew she had to do something.
‘!?’ Ella gasped. She failed to realize that. She might have hurt Elysia’s feelings indirectly because of her statement. ‘I-I’m sorry. I fail to understand her pain and offend you, Ely. I may be stupid and unreliable, but I will become strong soon. Please desire me and make me yours.’
Elisia smiled wryly. Ella’s statement was ambiguous, but she just put it aside and told an interesting fact. ‘You know, Ella. The Goddess of Blessings is my contracted Goddess. If you become my angel, isn’t that the same as being her angel? Are you willing to entrust your life and lend strength to us?’
Elysia reached out, and Ella immediately wiped away her tears. Ella could see the broader situation now and immediately accepted Elysia’s hand. “Please allow me to serve you, o the Goddess who rules over other Goddesses, Goddess Elysia.”
“I shall grant your wish.” Elysia held Ella’s cheeks and wiped away the tears from there. She then brought her face closer and pressed their foreheads together.
“…” Ella left her fate to Elysia, her Goddess friend. The energy flow filled her entire being, and a connection was connected to her spirit. It was not the temporary one like before, but a permanent relationship.
Ella’s current feelings were still quite complicated and complex, but she felt relieved and happy to be accepted by Elysia. She was a devout believer and felt the most incredible honor to belong to a higher Goddess who was bound to her Goddess.
For the next one was Gio and Cherub. Gio had complete faith in Elysia, and it went without saying. He volunteered to lend his strength to his master as to what he had to do.
However, Cherub was only there to keep Gio company. He was Ai’s contracted beast, but he would gladly serve his master’s twin sister without conditions.
As the last one, Fortuna was no longer considering anything. She could see having a divine spirit connection with Elysia was a win-win solution for all situations. She offered a favor and would receive something more significant in return. Not to mention, she knew that Elysia and the other Goddesses really needed vital members urgently.
“To be honest, I am still surprised. You are a high-rank Goddess in the Heaven Realm, but you are willing to entrust your life and lend your strength to us. I am currently a Goddess in training who is naïve and with little experience. You are so wise. , and you trust strangers like us for a reason.” Elysia closed her eyes and smiled faintly.
“The future you is beyond promising. I am willing to take the risk to invest in you for a greater gain. I may be seen as using you and leeched off the strong. Are you okay to bear my sins?” Fortuna smiled thinly too.
“I know and am aware of your goals. As long as that means no harm to us, then welcome to the group.” Elysia heaved a subtle sigh calmly.
“You already know? Can you see the truth, lie, and deception? I am the Goddess of Fate, known as the scheming and manipulating one.” Fortuna blinked her eyes several times.
“Mm, the scheming one, more than the cunning vixen. I want to believe you, but can you trust us? I want you to put your faith in us, not just a trade offer about greater gain. The one who seek accompany amidst the endless path of destiny. We will be the light to illuminate the dark fog of limitless possibilities. Let’s explore what lies ahead of us and uncover the greater secrets of the universe.” Elysia held out her hand.
“Sweet lips. I have made up my mind, and just playing on words with you. Thank you for inviting me to your pantheon, Goddess Ely. I can see why so many Goddesses put their faith in you.” Fortuna was fond of Elysia’s confidence. She accepted the hand extended to her and allowed Elysia to connect with their divine spirit.
It was like she let Elysia possess a part of her divine spirit, but she could tell it was a two-way benefit with significant risk. The more she knew about Elysia and Lina, the deeper the attraction she had for them. Currently, she had already sealed her fate and relationship. She was eager to see how far they would go.
