951 The Great Truth Seeker
“Hey, look, I can also make a little plush doll avatar like Rhea! We are so cute~” Elysia raised her plush doll to show everyone. She then put her little avatar next to Rhea’s to be friends.
“Hello, Little Rhea, I’m Little Ely. Let’s be friends.” Little Ely shook hands with Little Rhea.
“Uh, master… It’s still us because we control our avatars with the fragments of our spirits and souls.” Rhea was amused by Elysia’s behavior. Even after four years of rigorous training and profound cultivation, Elysia had not lost her playfulness and carefree nature.
“Hm, you are right, Rhea. However, Ruvoid Avatars seem to be different from how we make our avatars. It’s as if they create living beings with a new existence, but with a fragment of Ruvoid God’s power.” Elysia rested her cheek against her hand in brief contemplation.
“You say it now, Ely. The curse creatures, or as we call them the accursed are probably Ruvoid God’s summoned monsters. They turn into curses after being slaughtered, yes?” Elena felt that her conjecture had been proven correct.
“En, that is the most plausible thing, though we can’t say for sure. However, after a Ruvoid God dead, their summoned entities did not perish. We still need to slay the accursed.” Rhea put her hand to her chin.
“So, curse vessel, huh… Ruvoid Avatar is a doll copycat monster with a fragment of Ruvoid God’s power. No wonder Doll One is the name Lady Lifa gave to the cleansed and enlightened Ruvoid Avatar.” Elysia nodded in understanding.
“Those are more like doppelganger monsters. They have their own consciousness, and that’s how one can work for us after the brainwashing. If the Ruvoid God uses the same law as how we created our avatar, we cannot convert Doll One. But, will we let Doll One get stronger by absorbing the power of her other sisters?” Rhea felt a bit worried after seeing Nell’s last piece of information.
Lifa, Nell, Fortuna, and Doll One were fighting it out with the Ruvoid Avatars. There were only Number One and Number Four left. Because Doll One absorbed another Ruvoid Avatar’s power, the Numbers chose to fuse with the two strongest Ruvoid Avatars.
“Let her get stronger and see what awaits her. We can’t predict Doll One’s fate because she has no soul or spirit. She might become like our Xentia in the future, the artificial puppet who becomes a human.” Elena didn’t feel anything was wrong with Elysia’s decision to treat Doll One as a potential companion, not a killing machine like Lifa had planned.
“Ai, have you decided? We have the resources to create a perfect body for you. To reach the higher levels of entrance to godhood, you need a body to retain your existence and prevent the leak of energy. It’s too risky to continue being a wandering spirit.” Elysia gently poked Ai’s cheek with her dainty finger.
“Ely, I attained godhood with the dao of void and shadow. Don’t you want me to become your shadow? A wandering spirit is fine. Look at Elena. She has become your guardian spirit for countless eons in your various reincarnations.” Ai pointed at Elena, feeling that Elysia was unfair.
“Hm? You’re indirectly saying I’m an old spirit? How rude of you, little sister.” Elena folded her arms, feeling slightly offended.
“Silly elder sister. We open up choices and opportunities, but the final say is to stay with you. If you want to be my guardian spirit like my sister Elena, then that is what we will do. I will be happy because that is what you want. However, you must help me with many things because this little frail body needs to bear three spirits at once.” Elysia held both sides of Ai’s head and gently played with Ai’s tender cheeks like dough.
“Then, it’s decided! We will create a heaven-defying body for us.” Ai felt relieved.
She no longer needed to be distracted by matters related to her new body because she was not ready to become independent and endure power loss. The inevitable battle would occur within two months, and it was not the right time for her to have her own body. Although, she would prefer to become Elysia’s shadow spirit.
*Bzzt* *Poof* *Poof*
Ella and Evelyn were suddenly kicked out of the divine angel training ground. Their condition was a bit pitiful, and it wasn’t easy to stand on their feet.

“Uh, Ely. You’re back…” Tears filled Evelyn’s eyes as she swallowed the golden pill that her best friend had given her.
“…” Ella couldn’t move or speak because her entire body was afternoon. She swallowed the pill silently.
Warm energy broke out within Ella and Evelyn’s bodies, repairing damaged cells and calming the chaotic energy. They were improving every second and recovering in just three minutes.
“Welcome back, Ella, Eve. You made it to the high floors in only about half a year. Congratulations! Please sit down and have this hot recovery tea with us.” Elysia helped Ella and Evelyn to sit down, then helped them drink the tea Rhea had brought them.
“Hehe, thank you very much, Ely. It felt like an eternity, but we didn’t get to the high trial floors.” Evelyn felt somewhat disappointed but also had a mysterious feeling of pleasure after seeing Elysia again after so long.
“We only managed to reach hundredth floor and were defeated by the trial’s boss. Ely, do we disappoint you?” Ella looked down slightly. She received a great opportunity but needed to live up to expectations.
“That’s a great achievement for someone at the Apprentice level. Thanks to your efforts and hard work, you have reached the Spirit level. Why are you worried about letting someone down? Be cheerful and confident. You are extraordinary, one of us.” Elysia stroked Ella and Evelyn’s heads. She then sat back down between Elena and Ai, letting Rhea check Ella and Evelyn’s condition.
They then exchanged words while waiting for Lifa and Nell’s signal to act.
A fierce battle had been going on for two days and two nights above the sky of the Nameless Land. It was supposed to be a sunny afternoon, but a disastrous overcast enveloped the sky and sealed off the sunlight.
“Only one outcome awaits the defect, death! We will deliver your corpse to our almighty lord. You have been with the enemies for some time, and the almighty lord shall extract important information from you.” Number Four summoned countless shadows to seal Doll One’s movements but failed.
“The weak are so noisy. The counterfeit who imitates my master’s appearance without permission has no right to speak. We have destroyed your grand plan to ravage the world, and you are still uttering nonsense after these two days?” Doll One stared coldly at her opponent. She had exhausted so much power in the last three days and felt this was a lose-lose battle.
She absorbed another Ruvoid Avatar the other day, but her opponent possessed three cores, the same as her. In other words, Number Four fused with another two Ruvoid Gods.
That was how their strengths were equal, and no one could have the upper hand even after fighting for two days without stopping.
“The ungrateful defect is the one has no right to speak to me. The almighty lord created you, but you now turn you back again against us. Die!” Number One caused the cursed clouds in the sky to fall, hitting Doll One like a waterfall of demise.
“The enlightened has everything it may need to repent. You have the opportunity to see right and wrong. I have regained my origin, but I will still serve my master because she is the great truth.” Doll One came out of the void with a few scratches.
“Nonsense! Our almighty lord is the law!” Number Four made a grasp-like motion, gripping Doll One in place.
“The truth can bend the law and make the rules. What your lord and entire race are after is a place to live, an environment to develop, and resources to reach great heights.
But immense greed drives the strong to plunder everything. You are only a puppet with the fragment of a God, while I am the doll that has almost attained the great truth of a living being. We are different.” Doll one put her hands together, creating a tremendous force to break the shackles.
She then counterattacked by tearing the void and breaking her opponent’s space of movements.
“Your master is nothing more than curses, wasted and exiled beings. But, my master is the supreme being of the great truth. They treat you like an object that can be thrown away at any time, while I am my master’s masterpiece. Everyone treated me with care and respect. We may come from the same origin, but our path went differently because I was saved and blessed. You still have a chance, repent and convert to our side before it’s too late.” Doll One whispered close to Number Four’s ear. She had already sealed her opponent, ready to release an ultimate finishing blow.
“You are a twisted being who can no longer see the good and bad! The weak shall fear the strong. The lowly beings should be grateful to be our cattle!” Number Four snapped loudly, trying to escape, but she was also exhausted after two days of a great battle against Doll One.
“But, you are the weaker one here. My master can achieve the great truth of universe sooner or later. The so-called almighty lord of yours stand no chance against her. I heard the previous Ruvoid God ran like a loser with his tail between his legs after losing the battle against my master. So, what’s your point?” Doll One gripped her opponent’s jaw and looked down with a look of superiority.
She would try to convert the last Ruvoid Avatars to become her master’s followers like her. If that was impossible to achieve, she only needed to eliminate them for her master’s sake. She could solve the mess and all the problems at once too. So, by the time her master returned, everything had been appropriately resolved.
“!?” Number One noticed her comrade was in a pinch. She was about to rush there, but the Goddesses before her prevented her from doing so.
“Your opponent is us. Where are you going?” Lifa blocked Number One’s maneuvers.
She and the Goddesses had to wait for the others to clean up the mess in the world while they bought time until these last Ruvoid Avatars pulled their trump card. At that time, their Supreme Goddess could handle everything and clean up the threats in one fell swoop.
