Chapter 348: Another Blue Meteor
Chapter 348: Another Blue Meteor
'Why are you becoming more and more like a chatterbox lately? Let's talk about that later, little one. I need to sort this out first.' Elena flew back to the sky, then turned to look at the three armies. They were still within the meteor explosion zone.
"Listen! Get away from this area if you still want to live. My Meteor Befall will destroy the cursed ground in this area." After calling out that, Elena flew away to take a safe distance.
"Huh?" "Eh?" "Hmm?"
Ashera, Ashera, and Nuraddir looked up due to the blue light. Their eyes widened at once. They understood the Goddess's warning straight away.
There were several thoughts and considerations in their minds regarding the dangerous black slime monster earlier and the cursed ground.
Nevertheless, the three armies heeded the warning given by the Goddess of Light and rushed away with no delay. The blue shooting star didn't bode well for them to stay there any longer too.
At that moment, many parties from the Fairy and Elven Continents watched the shooting star from afar.
Some time ago, the innocent, ignorant elves and fairies had focused their attention there because the Tree of Life had fallen.
Not to mention, a regiment of the imperial elites went there straight away with Emperors and Empresses as soon as the Tree of Life fell apart.
Some of them knew about the upcoming war, but some of them didn't. The clueless ones just stared at the distant sky while praying to their Goddess.
Worries surged as the black clouds gathered above Ancient Woodland, and it peaked as they were dazzled by the blinding light. Eventually, most of the elves and fairies breathed a sigh of relief as the sky turned golden. The divine descended for the common good.
Everything seemed to culminate even more after the tiny sun, the light that pierced the sky, and the disappearance of the black clouds. Then the last one was a blue shooting star? What really happened there? The majority of the elves and fairies wondered profoundly and began to discuss with each other.
In Ancient Woodland, the land where the Tree of Life was once located, the three armies moved away at maximum speed.
After they reached a safe distance, they looked at the shooting star with a complicated gaze because of their ignorance of what happened to the Tree of Life. Not to mention the black slime earlier. They didn't fully know what that monster was saying.
*Kaboom!!!*
The blue meteor fell right at the center of the cursed ground. A violent bluish explosion occurred and was followed by a powerful blast wave.
Everything was destroyed in the blink of an eye. Nothing survived within a radius of fifteen kilometers.
The black soil, which was full of negative energy, vanished, including the trees and the like in the outer areas. The ancient dead city was no exception either.
A giant crater was created as a result. The blue meteor had already obliterated the Fairy Continent's ancient capital city with no remainder from the planet.
'Sigh... Ancient Woodland has simply vanished from history, and now that amazing city is completely obliterated. Only this gigantic crater can testify that there was once a Tree of Life and the capital of Fairy Continent a hundred thousand years ago.' Lifa mourned while seeing the remnants of the meteor explosion.
'We need to do this to purify this cursed ground. The Phantom Snot Emperor earlier was quite troublesome, and we are not in a good state either.' Elena felt a little guilty, but she didn't want to apologize for it either.
After all, the responsibility for solving the problem had already been assigned to her and Elysia.
'It's okay, no one blames you. All decisions are yours, and you know which one is the best. Ancient Woodland has been dead for a long time without any fairies living in it. Only corrupted and poisonous plants. I can only care about my daughter's well-being.' Lifa only felt a little sad, but that was all. It didn't mean she had another solution or complaint to Elena or Elysia.
'Is that so? Then, let me clear this all up first, then we shall leave this place.' Elena flew around the giant crater for a moment to burn the remaining curse energy. Elysia also helped with the task.
"Woah. Blue shooting star attack! Its destructive power is immense. Is this similar to shooting the star attack near Aeddoterra City a few days ago? Elena, you really are not afraid of curse energy, huh? If you had come to this world a hundred thousand years ago, it would have been incredible." Nell clapped her hands with a big smile etched on her face. She was incredibly pleased and surprised, but her murmurs turned into a mosquito-like voice at the end of her words.
Elena rolled her eyes once and simply ignored the little Goddess. She and Elysia kept going around once while purifying that cursed ground that had been destroyed for the common good.
After the two of them were done with that, the blast effect had also died down.
'This crater has a diameter of about 15 kilometers and a depth of about four kilometers. There's no more accursed monsters or remains of the Tree of Life's corrupted roots, right?' Elena scrutinized every corner of the ground.
'I don't think there's any of them anymore. Oh, look, that's a flash of curse energy from the big slime earlier. It's headed our way, Sister Elena.' Elysia pointed out the approaching flash of black smoke.
'All right, let's burn it all down.' Elena also noticed the curse energy approaching and immediately got ready to take care of it.
A few seconds later, the curse energy got closer to Elena. Still, she and Elysia also didn't stay idle and wait. They got closer too and immediately burned it all down.
'Ew, what kind of curse energy is this? It's not like fog, but like sticky liquid.' Elena felt disgusted to look at the curse energy she bridled with magic on her protective barrier.
'Well... Whatever it is, let's get rid of this.' Elysia got to work on it, and so did Elena. Even though it took a little longer than usual, they managed to eradicate that condensed energy nonetheless.
'Phew... Now this one's over. We just need to briefly explain to these three armies what's going on here before we can leave.' Elena wiped her nonexistent sweat as if several burdens had been lifted off her shoulders.
'Look, they're flying closer to us instead. These three armies clearly want to ask for an explanation of what just happened.' Elysia pointed at the approaching armies in turn.
'Hum, that's better.' Elena folded her arms while waiting for the armies to come closer.
At that moment, Nell continued to chirp inside the bubble-like barrier because of her enthusiasm. Unfortunately, Elena just ignored the little Goddess for a while. Thus, Lifa was affected and needed to respond helplessly to the chatterbox.
"The Goddess of Light! Can you provide some explanation about what just happened here?" Yralissa exclaimed with mixed feelings.
The Goddess in front of her had destroyed a large area in the continent of her race. She wouldn't be able to rest easy if the Goddess left without giving any explanation.
"Please forgive my impudence for this. But! Does the fallen Tree of Life have anything to do with you? Where is the Goddess of Life, and what is her divine self's current condition? Where did the Tree of Life go? Then, what's with the monster just now? It's simply overkilled." Ashera asked directly about the essential points without further ado.
"Please enlighten us, o Almighty Goddess." Nuraddir put his hand on his chest and gave a respectful bow in the air.
"The answer to all your questions was buried deep beneath the Tree of Life. My arrival in this place was none other than to help your Goddess from her predicament. It's a little surprising to see you all change your attitude towards me at once." Elena put her hand to her cheek and smiled faintly.
"Once again. Please forgive us, o Goddess of Light. Elves and fairies have declared that we will wage war when the Tree of Life has fallen to settle many things. The dwarves only intervened because of divine treasure." Ashera clasped her hands, and the elves mimicked her moves. She had given them notice beforehand.
"Those shameless elves just want to take possession of the Tree of Life, the Goddess of Life's residence! That war is declared by them because they know we fairies won't let that happen." Yralissa swung her hand aside and spoke aloud to convey the truth.
"Wha-"
"Well, that's your business. However, you have missed too many facts and world history." Elena immediately spoke up to cut off all the debate and nonsense without giving a chance to anyone.
Seeing the three camps suddenly shut their mouths to listen, Elena immediately continued her explanation. "You may not be aware of this yet, but the Human Continent and Devil Continent are preparing a major war to face the accursed monsters. Phantom Sno-, the black slime earlier is one of them. That creature is an Emperor-level accursed monster-"
For the next few moments, Elena enlightened the three races a little about the accursed monsters. She also explained a little about what happened to the Tree of Life.
"With that being said, the Tree of Life is still alive even though its main body has fallen apart. It would be best for you to return to your respective capitals and discuss this with the other higher-ups of your continent.
It can be heartbreaking to see many casualties when the sealed areas collapse, and you have no preparation for that. I and some other divine beings will be visiting your continent in a few days. I hope you have a cool head and welcome us well.
I may be kind and have a high tolerance, but I can't say for the others. They may not have that and decide not to save your continent. I've said quite a lot. That's all for now. See you again at the next opportunity."
After saying that, Elena turned around and wanted to leave right away. But just as she was about to cover herself with invisible magic, Yralissa, the highest level Fairy Empress shouted precariously.
"Wait, please wait! Are you coming with the Goddess of Life? Can we know about our Goddess's well-being? We fairies are too ignorant to know, but it's not without reason and cause." Yralissa felt a little confused, but she held onto her belief. After all, the fairies weren't to blame because they only had a minimum of historical relics.
"Yes, I'll come with your Goddess and other divine beings. I still need to help her. The curse of the accursed monster is terrible. Bye." Elena replied briefly, then disappeared from everyone's sight without delay.
