997 Unprecedented Event
“Our arms are not wide enough to cover everything. Inevitable, there will be those we cannot save. Still, at very least, I want to help those within my reach.” Elysia spread her arms wide.
“Would you be willing to go traveling the world with me to help those we meet on the way? It would be better if we met the accursed creatures from the sealed area as well. Heretic God’s achievement with his comprehension of curses provides a bright spot for breaking through our predicament of curses.” Elysia stretched out her hand as if inviting everyone to act with her.
Even though she was well aware that she only needed to ask or order them, and they would obey her, she still said it as if it was her request.
“We will go wherever you go. We will always be by your side, master.” Vanessa approached her master’s open palm and put her head there.
“Mm, your request is our command.” Dori clenched her fist in determination.
“Understanding curses using curses against curses like the Heretic Gods do? Hum-mm~ We have Zera and the new Celestia to help, Cherub too. So, it’s possible to achieve even without going through gruesome rituals or curse-bearing bodies.” Sylvia clapped her hands repeatedly in excitement.
“If it is our master, then it is very possible.” Yuuki had an unshakeable faith when it related to her master.
The girls then stated their willingness to follow Elysia’s wish.
“Since it’s your wish, then we will do that right away. However, not now because we need to recuperate well before leaving. We shall lessen the havoc and help the people in this world, but haste makes waste. There is no rush because they can still withstand the threats and the problem with what we’ve gifted them.” Elena twirled a lock of Elysia’s hair from behind.
Rhea only smiled in reply, and Elysia calmed down to the current atmosphere.
Elysia leaned back, hoping to lean against the rock again. However, she found herself in Elena’s arms and rested her head on those two big soft cushions instead. There was no need to feel embarrassed. Thus she enjoyed herself in the hot spring while talking with her dear friends and family members regarding the events in the last three days.
For the next four days, Elysia and her group went to various places worldwide to help people face dangerous accursed creatures or monsters.
The barren land was fertilized, and the cursed land was purified. Fruits, vegetables, crops, and wheat were abundant for early harvest. At the very least, there shouldn’t be people who would starve to death during this era of struggle.

It had been one week since their visit to the moon, and Elysia couldn’t feel any movement or threats from there since then, which made her feel a bit relieved.
“I see, so it’s like that, huh. I understand everything now.” Zera held Celestia, staring at the black smoke amidst the destruction below.
“You understand everything? Please elaborate on us.” Sylvia wanted to know more about the dangerous divine curse law.
“So it’s like this, little devil. Curse is a curse, and we can overpower it with a more powerful curse. The most effective way is still to purify it, but for some reason, only Master Ely and Master Lina can do it.” Zera explained his knowledge like a sage.
“That is the same thing we concluded four days ago. That’s why the Heretic God was able to overcome the lesser Ruvoid God with a more powerful curse.” Yuuki rolled her eyes.
“But, that won’t be effective for the final boss, right? That one was beyond dangerous which still makes Lady Tifa so wary.” Vanessa looked up at the sky.
“Is this just my feeling? The moon keeps appearing in the sky day and night and looks bigger and bigger? It’s approaching our planet, right?” Morfina pointed at the sky.
“Now that you say it, I feel something is off. However, Ely and the Goddesses aren’t worried. So, it’s fine, I guess?” Lynn shrugged her shoulders and then looked at Elysia and the Goddesses.
“Yes, don’t worry about it. Vrelenia’s gravitational revolution with respect to the moon changes slightly, but that’s normal.” Elysia cast a bit of wind magic to cool the surrounding air. It was almost summer, and the air was getting warmer.
“It’s already noon, and it’s time for lunch. Since we’re in the Human Continent’s east coast region, how about seafood cuisine?” Fortuna raised her hand to vote.
“Seafood, good.” Nell approved the idea. She would love every food without being picky as long as it was delicious.
“Just do the meat for you.” Yae whispered near Dori’s ear.
“No, no meat for me. My body can’t digest that.” Dori shook her head repeatedly.
“Would you like Tuna as a dish?” Elena asked Rhea, but she said it to tease Fortuna. Her gaze expressed everything for it.
“Tuna? Hum, that’s good.” Rhea nodded in agreement.
“Hmm?” Fortuna was scared at Elena once, then rushed to Elysia’s side. “Ely, your master bullied me! After giving it some thought, I guess I should change my second name for real. Help me with a good second name.”
“Hmm, fine if you want it. I think Iris is good because it could mean good news, but it’s the name of your colleague on Earth. Fortuna… Let’s say something different but somewhat similar. Felicity, intense happiness… Felicia , what do you think of this name?” Elysia twirled a lock of her hair while thinking of a name.
“Felicia? That’s great!” Fortuna grasped Elysia’s hand with a sparkling gaze. She then grinned at Elena. “Felicia is my second name now. Remember?”
“Hum, she is a senior Goddess in Earth’s Heaven, but is entangled in this world’s ancient custom. We also won’t stay on this planet for long. I wonder who said otherworld divine beings don’t need alternative name?” Elena sighed and shook her head.
The girls then giggled and laughed, but not to offend Fortuna. Everyone then went to the empty east coast area and held a little lunch party.
“Ugh, what’s wrong with this world? Why is there no ice and snow? I almost died. We should have gone to the extreme north.” Lixue took shelter in a box and created a mini ice and snow field. He would prefer a cold place over a hot one, but somehow, he is currently being treated like a refrigerator.
“Little Ice, please give me that cold syrup and juice.” Lyla asked politely.
“Here, don’t bother me. I’m relaxing after a satisfying lunch.” Lixue tossed a few bottles that were placed around him, then lay down on his back.
After lunch, Elysia received shocking news from Erina via spirit connection. “!?”
“What’s wrong?” Ai noticed Elysia’s surprise at something.
“Erina told me that the Earth’s union force found a hell gate to the underworld and it was secured to the surface. What we have given to her will guarantee her safety as long as she is wise in her actions, but are we absolutely not allowed to interfere with that matter? Indirectly, we are involved in the initial plan and cause, right?” Elysia heaved a subtle sigh, then glanced at Elena.
“Earth Mother has warned us. Whatever the reason, we must not interfere in the destiny of Earth, including you.” Elena pointed at Fortuna.
“M-me!? Am I no longer considered part of the Heaven Order?” Fortuna pointed at her face as if she couldn’t believe what she had just heard.
“Yes, she will be angry if we come there and interfere too much more than necessary. The Ruvoid God is no longer there, and no outside factor should mess up the world’s order. That’s what she said to me a week ago.” Elena nodded slightly.
“That doesn’t sound good to me. Perhaps, the era on Earth will change when humanity tries to invade the underworld?” Lifa was dissatisfied with the arrangement.
“Yes, the unprecedented event will occur in a few years. The change of a chaotic era, the end of a false peaceful era.” Elena rested her cheek against her hand, pondering about something.
“What do you think, Ely? What do you plan to do when the time comes? What if such a situation will or has already occurred on Earth?” Lifa wanted to know Elysia’s decision.
“For now, we won’t meddle with that matter. However, when the time comes, we might went against Earth Mother’s request.” Elysia answered instantly.
“That sounds good. I’ll help you wholeheartedly. We might kidnap her and leave her with no choice but to board our boat, fufu~” Lifa covered her mouth with her slender hand.
“Are you sure about that? You have a deal with her, right? What will happen to the world once its core is gone?” Nell widened her eyes, staring at Lifa as if she couldn’t believe it.
“Well, it’s too soon for that to happen. Earth will remain peaceful for a few more years, and the transitional era will last at least seven years. When the planet’s core disappears, it will regenerate a new one some time later. However, the world’s law and order will have no rules, and nature will be unfriendly to life. Earth Mother will give humanity the last trial and test. What the humans on the other side do will determine everything, but Erina won’t get involved in it.” Lifa shrugged her shoulders at what she said was trivial.
“What about Heaven and other realms other than Earth Realm?” Fortuna’s face turned pale.
“No influence since it’s a different realm with separate rules and laws.” Lifa explained a bit, and it made Fortuna feel relieved. At least there was nothing to worry about that for now.
