957 Blueprints of Welfare
Elysia then explained a bit about her relationship with Sylvia to clear up any misunderstandings.
“I see, you are Sylvia’s master? That makes a bit of sense.” Dylan sighed, half believing and half unsure. So, his daughter was Elysia’s disciple.
“Hum-mm, Ely is my sister too. But, your Ely is really silly. My father is so dense, and he wouldn’t dare eat you alive. He couldn’t beat you when your aura was still at Apprentice-level, and it became zero percent win now.” Sylvia hugged Elysia in a hum.
“Well, since you kept your promise to take care of my daughter, of course I won’t let you suffer. You are the first human that I don’t hate.” Dylan threw a Space Bag at Elysia.
“Ah-oh, thank you very much.” Elysia opened her palms to receive the gift.
“Now, Ely. Since we are sisters, isn’t it about time you called my father as your father also? You refer to the Pope as your Grandpa, so this makes sense, right?” Sylvia gently poked Elysia’s cheek.

“!?” Dylan turned his face to the side as he couldn’t bear to see his daughter flirting with Elysia.
The two girls’ relationship was quite ambiguous, but they didn’t realize it. Even though Elysia was not his daughter’s sweetheart, he was sure that Sylvia treated Elysia as someone precious. The relationship between sworn sisters might be like that.
“Ufufu, you are really pleasant to the eye. You can handle such a little devil like an obedient maiden, and take care of her like your sister. This is our first proper meeting, Elysia. So, please accept a little gift from me.” Sophia gave a pouch to Elysia.
“Hmm?” Yuuki changed position on Elysia’s lap and checked the contents of the pouch. It was a slightly suspicious red metal of the fire element.
“Ah, thank you, Lady Sophia. However, may I know what metal this is?” Elysia received the gift and opened the pouch.
“It is a rare high-grade fire metal. I heard that you are fond of cooking, and it can be useful as a source of hearth for you to cook anywhere and anytime. You just need to give it a little spark, and the metal will be smoldering like a stove. Pour ice water on it when you want the fire to go out.” Sophia covered her mouth elegantly.
Sylvia was well-behaved around Elysia, so she could use this opportunity to bridge a good relationship with the future Goddess.
“I really appreciate it. I can’t be one who always receives gifts. As such, please accept this as a token of my gratitude.” Elysia gave Dylan and Sophia a talisman each.
“…” Dylan felt like grumbling. Elysia should have checked the Space Bag he gave her. It was filled with the latest high-level destruction weapons, but the stone stove was the one that received the appreciation?
“Hehe, you really are a good girl. If only all humans were like you. Anyway, what is this talisman? It’s like the one Sylvia gave us a few days ago.” Sophia checked the blue talisman.
“It’s a protective talisman with combat capabilities. It can save your life three times and counterattack the attacker with ten times the damage it takes. Yes, it’s probably similar to the talisman that was handed out to the region rulers three days ago because I learned the technique from the best runemasters.” Elysia gave a thumbs up.
“Hum, then I’ll accept this.” Dylan stored the talisman in his robe. He could tell that this talisman was similar but not the same as the one his daughter gave him. The previous ones were for one-time defense, but this one was the upgraded version.
Moments later, they arrived at the palace. The Human Emperor Arthur and Holy Pope Alexander were already at the palace entrance, waiting for the arrival of several people.
The other region rulers arrived and were escorted into the grand hall. The banquet had already been prepared.
Sylvia jumped from the carriage and reached out to help Elysia.
“Elysia, where are your master and the others? You only came with the devils?” Alexander needed clarification because Elysia’s group was still nowhere to be seen.
“They’ll be arriving in a moment.” Elysia waved her hand. She then looked around and felt the current situation was the right time to ask. She took out her limited edition mecha model and showed it with a beaming gaze. “Ah, Grandpa, I’ve seen your amazing golden golems. I’d like to know your opinion on this miniature. What do you think?”
“Hmm, let’s see… This looks cool, intricate, and detailed. Are you the one who made this miniature golem?” Alexander observed the miniature closely.
“I just assembled it and intend to make the real mecha like it. Here’s the blueprient component set. It might help you break through to the advanced golem model soon, Grandpa.” Elysia handed over a blueprint and her model mecha assembly guide.
“What? You did a research like this before? This, this is a masterpiece! But, manufacturing would take too much time to make a golem that is like your model.” Alexander was wide-eyed when he saw the blueprints.
“It can not?” Elysia felt somewhat disappointed.
“Hah, who said I can’t? Since you gave me this, I’ll make it for you.” Alexander returns the miniature model and quickly saves the blueprint before Elysia changes her mind.
“Yes, thank you very much, Grandpa! I know you can do it. You can also make a simplified version of it for mass production. I also have a few other samples for model variations. Your golden golem shouldn’t only have a knight version. It should vary!” Elysia handed over a few other samples, but those were just pictures and brief descriptions of her past mecha model collections.
“Ohoho, then, I will gladly accept it. Your contribution to the development of golem manufacturing will be recorded in history, my good granddaughter.” Alexander laughed happily. He glanced at the Devil Emperor with a smug smile, then quickly secured all of Elysia’s gifts.
“What’s with that stupid look? Dwarf and devil have already got their share of technology-related blueprints. You’d better not disappoint the trust she has in you.” Dylan snorted in contempt.
“What? Well, that’s true too. So, this is just to make things fair?” Alexander was fully aware of the spaceship project by the dwarves and then the gigantic cannon being carried out by the devils.
“We’ll be busy in the next month, Arthur, hahaa…” Alexander patted the Emperor beside him.
“Well, please come in. I can’t accompany you now, old man.” Arthur smiled wryly and shook his head. He then accompanied Elysia’s group inside.
“Go, go. I still need to wait for my granddaughter.” Alexander flapped his hand and then muttered while staring at the palace entrance. “They took care of something in the Holy Cathedral without informing me beforehand. What took them so long?”
“Hmm~” Ella felt both relieved and grateful. She managed to persuade Ariel to come with her to serve the divine.
After this, she only needs Elysia’s permission and Ariel’s oath ceremony. After that, Ariel could be saved for good.
On the way to the palace, Vanessa served as a senior sister for the new recruits. She told them a few things to watch out for.
Elena and the other divine beings had arrived at the palace unnoticed by anyone. They had come there without going through the usual means.
After everyone had gathered in the hall, Nell distributed a package containing several blueprints to each region ruler. Every major city on the continent was required to build facilities as stated in the blueprints, and everyone agreed unconditionally.
The holy maidens in the divine group were representatives of various races. Thus the rulers were not stingy in giving a congratulatory gift to the girl who represented them in the holy battle in outer space later.
“Why am I stuck here?” Rosie downed the cup of wine in one gulp.
“Well, we arrived last night for the golden golem and we couldn’t leave due to a sudden notification this afternoon. We can meet all region rulers of the various continents and the divine group once again. Isn’t this a good opportunity?” Ronan shook his glass while looking at the holy maidens and the rulers around them.
“Why don’t you exchange pleasantries with them? It is your duty as prince to establish good relations with everyone here, especially the new holy maidens. Look, your father is over there.” Rosie pointed her palm to Emperor Elliott, Ronan’s father.
“Hmm, looks like you’re right. Let’s get acquainted with them. Will you come with me?” Ronan noticed Prince Theo would act, so he couldn’t be left behind.
“Well, I’ll pass.” Rosie waved her hand in refusal. Ronan left, and she was alone at the edge of the hall, enjoying the banquet in silence.
“You are here. Is everything all right?” Ai emerged from the shadow, took a cup of wine, and stood beside Rosie.
“Yeah, everything’s fine. The talisman you gave protected my clan from the fatal blow during the night’s attack. I really thank you. Eh-uh, you are Ai.” Rosie was surprised because Elysia appeared suddenly, but she was mistaken because this person was Ai, Elysia’s twin sister.
“It sounds good.” Ai nodded in understanding.
“Each city soon will have a more advanced security system. Once teleportation waypoints are successfully built in every important city, it will be easier to travel between long distances. People shall prosper in the near future, and everyone will be involved in it. Will the longed-for peace be achieved?” Rosie stared up at the ceiling.
“Peace will not last without threats. Long peace will breed threats from within and wars will break out due to greed. However, everything is based on her grand plan. There is a reason why we didn’t purge the accursed and demons cleanly.” Ai put her empty glass on the table.
“I see… The divine let the mortals take care of the remains, huh… It might take a long time since the demons are already hiding deep in the dungeons, and they will have their revenge one day. We have to be prepared for that day.
The Goddess of Light managed to unite all races, and they wouldn’t dare invite her wrath by doing anything stupid. Under her tutelage, the world will be peaceful and prosperous. Rosie glanced at the Goddesses and Gods, then at Elysia. She subconsciously smiled to see Elysia already surrounded by influential figures.
