914 Goddess-level Doll
“You are a mermaid, and you shouldn’t be exposed to too much sun which can dry out your skin. Here, I give you this moisture and water friendly dress.” Elena took a simple floral dress to Dorienne.
“Oh, thanks, Ely. I’ll put them on right away.” Dorienne took off her wet dress, revealing her mermaid suit, which was just a bikini. She then put on her new dress in front of everyone.
“…” The girls had nothing to say and didn’t want to comment on anything.
pAn-d a-n0ve1.com “Fufu, a brave girl. You came from far under the sea to bring medicine for Ely, but she has already been healed. However, it will be very helpful if you are willing to give the medicine to Ely. It’s no good to bring back the gift, right?” Luna covered her mouth with her folding fan.
“Ah, that’s true. Ely, please receive the packet of medicine and elixir herbs from my clan. I hope it can save your life or someone else’s life in times of need.” Dorienne took out a stone box and presented it to Elysia.
“Thanks, Dori. I’ll take it. Can I see what’s inside?” Elena lifted the stone box.
“Yes, please.” Dorienne held her hand, inviting Elysia to look at her clan’s medicine.
“…” Elena opened the stone box and found several underwater herbs, elixirs, and medicine bottles. She had no idea of the effects of each medicine if asked.
“There is a note on the usage guide for each medicine. Make sure not to ignore the instructions or the medicine won’t be effective.” Dorienne raised her finger to remind.
Elena took the note and skimmed through it. She then closed the stone box and stored it in her Space Bag. “I see, I’ve seen the note. Then, I’ll save this for an emergency. Dori, since you’re already here, how about you join us until the situation improves?”
“En, alright. I heard that the situation on land could be better. Can I help you with anything? Despite looking like this, I’m a strong Spirit-tier mermaid, you know? Hum, hum~” Dorienne raised her fist and puffed out her chest.
“Hehe, mermaid’s innate skills might be of great help to us in certain situations.” Rhea put her hands together.
“I feel honored.” Dorienne smiled happily.
“Sea God, it looks like there were some difficulties at your end, but you could still overcome them without any major obstacles.” Elysia looked to the side and opened a small conversation with the newly arrived God.
“Yeah. We’ve overcome the most dangerous sealed area formation, so I can easily handle the rest alone. Anti-curse mechanisms and deep-sea dwellers are very helpful.” Oceanid took a deep breath and exhaled slightly.
“Rather than that, how about on your side? What about your Ruvoid God’s pursuit?” Oceanid continued.
“It didn’t quite go according to plan, but it’s safe to say we only need to address the last two strongest Ruvoid Gods.” Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.
“Hmm, that sounds pretty good to me. However, the situation on the land has become dire, huh. Even your disciple was injured because of the trap and ambush. You and your disciple have been targeted, it seems. Please be more careful.” Oceanid didn’t know the details, but he still conveyed his concern. The world would be doomed if the Goddess of Light and Elysia fell because no one could eliminate the curses like them.
*Rumble!*
A sudden noise came from the Holy Church’s entrance. Some holy knights seemed to be arguing with an angry man, but the deep voice sounded familiar to some.
Huh!? We came invited by one of your Human Goddesses, and you now say we need to give you face!? Do not look high on yourself in front of me, mortal!” Regulus growled in annoyance. He didn’t believe that he had to obey the rules of the humans after coming to this city, and he now had to follow the laws of the Holy Church.
“My apologies. Even if you are a Beast God, you still have to act like a law-abiding guest. There are Goddesses and Gods in there. Please don’t make a fuss, or the Goddess of Blessings will punish you.” A holy knight general broke out in cold sweat but still explained calmly.
“A general is in charge of guarding the gate. Law this and law that. The beast only knows the law of the jungle. Even if your Chruch’s Goddess comes here, she won’t be able to do anything to me!” Regulus snorted.
“Beast God, don’t make a scene and quickly meet us at the south pavilion. Do you want us to slap you into oblivion first to calm you down?” Rhea sent her voice through the wind spirit to the Holy Chruch’s entrance.
“Tch, consider yourself lucky.” Beast God bared his fangs and walked into the south pavilion. Two fire lionesses immediately followed him from behind.
“…” Vanessa didn’t feel good every time she saw the fire lions, much less the Beast God, the Fire Lion God. However, she just kept quiet and didn’t want to do anything.
The temperature gradually rose due to the arrival of the three fire lions. Sea God played with a water bundle to extinguish the scorching footprints the Beast God left from the entrance to the pavilion.
“Hey, put out your fire or I will put it out for you. Damage to public property will be fined and you will be held responsible for that.” Oceanid raised his hand to the approaching big lion.
“That holy knight pissed me off. My fire ignited without my noticing it. The Pope wouldn’t be stingy enough to count the minor damage on that concrete floor.” Regulus inhaled and exhaled slowly. He extinguished the fire and stared at the Pope.
‘Nell, how are things on your side?’ Elysia asked via spirit telepathy.
‘We actually finished converting the Ruvoid God’s puppet into our customized doll. It was a bit risky, but we managed nonetheless. The avatar’s core is already ours to control. I’ll make this one your doll for command, Ely. Please use her against her sisters, hehe~’ Nell laughed happily and contentedly.
‘Ah, we are currently testing her body shape capability, but we can’t change her base form. She can imitate other people’s appearance, but the base is still like your clone, Ely. Have the others gathered yet?’ Nell just remembered that more than an hour had passed.
‘Yes, everyone has gathered.’ Elysia confirmed it.
‘Then, I’ll open the portal. Please point your hand to the empty space, Ely.’ Nell decided to end the testing on their new doll.
‘Okay.’ Elysia obeyed what Nell said.
‘Firm Realm, open the portal for me.’ Nell sent her command to her realm core on Elysia’s wrist via spirit telepathy.
A golden white portal opened. Lifa and Nell stepped out of there casually.
So, something like that could work too…” Elysia looked at Nell’s realm core with an understanding gaze.
‘Yup, it can work as long as the master gives the command. Elena had difficulty opening the Nature Realm’s portal when you were injured, but the realm core understood the situation and identified her as your guardian, Ely. Although it was only slightly open for Lifa’s leaves to pass by, hehe~’ Nell landed on the picnic rug and immediately grabbed some food. She felt hungry.
“Ely, this is for you.” Lifa handed something to Elysia’s palm.
“E-eh? What is this? Fecal slime?” Elysia gasped in surprise when she looked at the purplish-black weird-looking warm, slimy thing in her hand. She never thought that Lifa would throw a prank at her like this.
“No, silly. That is the doll’s core. It is in an ownerless form. Give it a little magic and it will be yours to command.” Lifa was amused and sat beside Elysia to teach.
“…” Elysia glanced at Lifa, then the girls. Most of them looked curious.
She then did as Lifa asked without hesitation. The purplish-black slime absorbed a bit of her magic, then took the form of a heart core. It then floated up and materialized into a human-like form.
Elysia’s clone stood before the real Elysia, but the former used a cloth face cover inscribed rune with the ancient writing ‘Doll One’.
“At your command, master. Doll One is at your service.” Doll One knelt and greeted her new master.
‘Lifa, is that alright? What if the Ruvoid God resets her to betray us? It was still a cursed soulless existence. She still has the same capabilities as before?’ Elena put her hand on Elysia’s shoulders. She stared at the former Ruvoid God’s avatar in astonishment.
‘It’s okay if she betrays us, but I don’t think that will happen. Elysia’s clone, this doll, has no thoughts of her own. She only carries out orders even though it will cost her life. We accidentally strengthened her due to some divine materials, but we created our first Goddess-level doll with Ely as her primary master. If the Ruvoid Gods wanted to reclaim her, they would need to first break the command connection from her to the three Goddesses. Lifa explained a little to reassure Elena.
‘You will take full responsibility for this. This doll adalah Ruvoid Goddess…’ Elena heaved a subtle sigh.
‘Sure, I’ll protect Ely just like you.’ Lifa replied with a tender smile. She then held Elysia’s hand. ‘Ely, after this, let’s go to the Nature Realm. I’m the only one who hasn’t made a spirit connection with you. I want my divine contract with you, but you haven’t asked me yet. I can’t wait any longer.’
‘I am honored for that, Madam Lifa. Ai asked me to visit Reinhard Clan together after this. Let’s do our spirit bonding ceremony at night.’ Elysia clasped Lifa’s hand back.
‘The sacred ceremony under the moonlight, hmm~ That’s really romantic. I will be happy if you call me without honorifics. Or, it’s fine if you want to call me mama, hehe~ I will take good care of you.’ Lifa felt happy as she obtained confirmation.
