910 Turn Enemy into Ally
‘What are we going to do with her?’ Elysia asked in wonder as she saw her clone lying on the ground, helpless.
‘I feel astonished about why those Ruvoid Gods changed their avatars’ appearances to Elysia. I presume the other seven avatars also have the appearance of Elysia. We should seal her in my Firmament Realm’s prison for real to further research.’ Nell folded her arms and nodded.
‘Ely, this avatar is capable of taking any form at will. This thing is actually just a puppet in the form of springy mud which materializes into a human form with your appearance as its base body. Her current situation prevented her from using her curse, and her body capabilities were greatly nerfed. I will conduct a mind reading and perform an experiment to manipulate her.’ Lifa explained the details of her little plan.
She then asked Nell to send that avatar to the golden prison in the Firmament Realm.
“Please excuse me.” Lifa asked permission, then put her hand on Elena’s head. She extracted Number Three’s part of her consciousness from her formation trap, then sealed it before returning it to Number Three’s body.
‘We should go somewhere safe first. Nell and I need to do an experiment soon before she regains consciousness.’ Lifa hoped they wouldn’t get involved in the battle or enter the danger zone.
‘You will convert that puppet into our puppet, turn enemy into ally? It’s risky and somewhat reckless. However, can you do it? Do you need help?’ Elena raised her eyebrows because she wasn’t so sure.
‘Fufu, as long as she doesn’t have active curse energy protecting her, then we can do it without any trouble. Her body capabilities are also weakened, so it’s perfect opportunity for manipulation. She will lose her current self permanently, and we will rewrite her new personality. You will love it later. She will fight the other Ruvoid God’s avatars for us~’ Lifa put her hands together and smiled.
‘Yup, we’re experienced, and the current situation is really favorable. Worry not.’ Nell puffed out her chest proudly.
‘…’ Elysia had nothing to say. Lifa and Nell would do that kind of thing for her and everyone’s well-being also.
‘Do what you need to do. Let us know if something happens.’ Elena nodded in understanding.
‘Then let’s go! We can’t waste our time.’ Nell opened a dimensional portal, then carried Number Three’s body inside. She returned and put her realm’s core bracelet on Elysia’s wrist. ‘I will leave this under your care. The portal will open automatically when I give a secret command via our spirit connection.’
After that, Lifa and Nell entered the Firmament Realm as they had to experiment on the helpless Ruvoid God’s avatar.
“By putting her in a separate dimension, they won’t be able to take her back. Her fate is doomed. So, seven more.” Rhea looked up at the moon on the eastern horizon.
“Wait a moment. I fail to understand what just happened. Can you elaborate on the change in the situation on your side? The previous one was fake Elysia?” Xero came over confusedly.
He checked the Elysia next to Lina several times and could tell that this one was the same person he knew. However, that couldn’t explain the counterfeit Elysia he had just fought.
“I presume you can see this Elysia is the real one, and the one you just fought was the fake one. The Ruvoid Gods who were sealed on the moon have sent nine avatars in total. We have eliminated one and captured one. There are seven avatars there who imitated Elysia’s appearance to carry out a secret mission from the Ruvoid Gods. If you want more details please come with us. We will also invite the Sea God and Beast God.” Rhea gave a brief summary of the whole incident.
“Very well.” Xero put his godly spear back into his pocket dimension. “Where are we going?”
“A relatively safe place. Cuttexus City is nearby. Mm, that Capital City will do. Let’s pick up our comrades in Rarora City first.” Rhea put her hand to her chin and replied as if it was her decision. Still, she actually consulted Elysia first via telepathy.
Xero didn’t mind and decided to go with the Goddesses. He felt curious about the avatars in question as he had never encountered that kind of thing before.
Well, he was the first God who died in the first stage of the great war one hundred thousand years ago, so he was pretty much clueless about many things.
Rhea, Elena, and Elysia flew towards Rarora City outside Avrora Forest. Xero only followed closely and exchanged information about several things with the girls regarding the recent events.
By the time they arrived at their destination, the vast part of the forest had already become a wasteland. Seeing the barren land with jet-black soil inside a tropical forest was strange.
Priests were seen scattered around the scene, purifying the land.
“Hi! We are here!” Sylvia waved her hands high to welcome the Goddesses. Yet, she became confused because the two Goddesses were nowhere to be seen.
“We’ve cleaned up the accursed creatures here. Where did the other two go? Anyway, how’s the situation on your side?” Fortuna asked worriedly.
“They’re doing a little experiment. We captured an avatar, but another one got away.” Elysia raised her hand to convince everyone.
“Phew, thank goodness.” Fortuna breathed a sigh of relief.
“We need to go to Cuttexus Coty for a meeting with the other Gods. Can we leave the business here to you?” Rhea glanced at a nearby high-ranked holy knight.
“Yes, thank you for your reinforcements. We can clean up the mess here without any problems. The priests can do their job gradually and forest restoration will continue.” The high-ranking holy knight replied with a knight salute.
“Wonderful. Everyone, let’s go now.” Elysia put her hands together, then brought her group away to Cuttexus City via instant teleportation.
At that time, Oceanid had just finished cleaning up the mess in the deep ocean and arrived at the merfolk’s territory. He was greeted by the Lorelei Clan and several other warrior clans, but he suddenly received an urgent message.
He raised his hand and begged the merfolk to read the secret message before going to the desolate place behind the coral.
“Hm, they came back yesterday but those things have already prepared for their arrival with great fanfare, huh… Who would have thought those fakers is capable of injuring the key. Ruvoid Gods aim for the highest threat to be eliminated as soon as possible? This is bad, Elysia is even injured.” Oceanid sighed as he read the distress message.
Rhea was the one who informed him, but he already got some information from Nell last night. That was why he quickly cleared the danger zone, as he had to go to the Human Continent immediately.
“E-eh? Elysia is injured!?” A pink mermaid was surprised when she happened to hear the Sea God’s murmur. She had just returned from harvesting seaweed, but the situation on land didn’t seem reasonable. “Is Elysia, the Goddess disciple injured? This is not good, we should send an envoy to visit her and give her an elixir of seabed medicine as a symbol of our good friendship.”
The pink mermaid held her head and felt a bit panicked. She rushed to swim towards her home, but Sea God suddenly grabbed her fishtail.
“Kyaa! Not my fishtail! Hmph, hmph…” The pink mermaid squirmed and slapped the Sea God’s hand to free her fishtail.
“You, little girl… The princess of the Lorelei Clan. Why did you overhear my words. I already ordered the Merfolks to wait for me there, right?” Oceanid frowned.
“Eh? You didn’t say anything to me. Why are you hiding behind this coral anyway? I just got back from harvesting seaweed from my garden. If I happen to offend you, I apologize profusely. Dorienne didn’t hear anything, but I need to administer the elixir to the injured Elysia.” Dorienne put her hands together and knelt down to apologize.
“Why don’t you give it to her by yourself? That way, you can become their friend.” Oceanid pursed his lips and thought for a moment. He was unsure whether Elysia had recovered, but he thought bringing some healing elixir from the merfolk wouldn’t be wrong.
“E-eh? I’m not sure my father will give me permission if I go ashore alone. He has to come with a guardian squad.” Dorienne was not sure. The last time she visited land was a few years ago but under heavy guard.
“You will be fine if you go with me. You will meet the divine group, so prepare the healing elixir now. I will go visit them soon.” Oceanid shooed the pink mermaid away.
“All right then. Please wait for me!” Dorienne rushed to swim away quickly to prepare her to leave.
“Sigh, the situation at sea is quite safe. The most dangerous sealed areas have been dealt with, and the troublesome ones have also been resolved. It’s just that the problems on land are getting more complicated.” Oceanid sighed as he returned to the merfolk’s higher-ups.
“Thank you for all your help and assistance, Sea God. The greatest catastrophe occurred on land, but the strongest monsters were sealed at the bottom of the sea. We hope that the day of victory when the world is saved will come soon.” Osharus responded with hope.
Oceanid then gave some instructions to the merfolks. A few minutes later, the pink mermaid came closer with a big bag on her back.
“Dorienne, where are you going?” Osharus was a little surprised when he saw his daughter go beside the Sea God.
“She will go with me ashore to visit her friend. Worry not, she is safe with me.” Oceanid pointed his thumb at the pink mermaid.
“Father, your daughter is going for an official visit for the sake of good relations. My friend is injured and our healing elixir can save her life. Please grant me your permission.” Dorienne asked permission politely.
“…” Osharus was speechless. That was said as an official visit, but it sounded like visiting someone who was sick.
He couldn’t refuse the Sea God’s request because his daughter would be under God’s protection! It was okay if this Sea God desired his lovely daughter to become a little concubine. He would obviously give his full permission!
“Very well, you have my blessing, my daughter. Have you brought proper preparations? Please don’t trouble Sea God too much, understand?” Osharus put his hand on his daughter’s head.
“Um, I’ve brought my survival kit, camping and lots of medicine. Our reliable servants are helping me prepare this.” Dorienne patted her bag with a smile.
After that, Dorienne said goodbye to her father and brother. Sea God then took her away.
“Clyde, when do you want to find a life partner? Look at your little sister, she is eyeing the big one already.” Osharus patted his son on the back.
“…” Clyde just laughed dryly and scratched his head. He was not so sure his little sister was after the Sea God, as his father stated.
