Chapter 654: Heretic God Join the Party
"We will return to Vrelenia in a few days, and you will come with us." Elena tells her intentions without further ado.
"What made you assume that I would come with you?" Xero wanted to turn the situation around to his advantage, but he realized something. "Wait, this isn't in the underworld? Back to Vrelenia, you say? Then, where are we now?"
"We are in another world. We were blown off to a planet that may be very far from Vrelenia. I said you would come with us to Vrelenia in a few days." Elena replied with a subtle smirk.
"What happens if I refuse?" Xero tried to find his interlocutor's bottom line.
"Who knows? Maybe, we'll still drag you back, but not in a friendly way. Besides that, how long will you stay in your recovery meditation? I presume that your divine devil body was destroyed because of your epic battle against that Ruvoid God. So, it will probably take thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years for you to recover your strength here." Elena looked up slightly with an indifferent expression.
"Did that Ruvoid God manage to survive and get stranded to another world as well?" Xero felt proud when he remembered his achievements. In that cursed domain, he managed to get the upper hand against a top-grade Ruvoid God.
"I'll answer after you tell me your situation, and what happened after the cursed domain's collapse." Elena directed the conversation to her favor, not by Xero's term.
"Very well." Xero didn't mind telling him the situation and his epic battle against the Ruvoid God.
However, for some reason, Elena and Rhea could interpret that Xero had also added some bragging to emphasize how great he was.
While his presence was in this place, it was just a stroke of luck to be stranded on a thunderstorm island with plenty of demonic resources around.
"I've explained my situation to you. My Devil God body was indeed destroyed due to the collapse of that dimensional domain, but I think the same damage was done to that Ruvoid God. If that being was also stranded into this foreign world, then this would be the perfect opportunity to end the chain of curses." Xero folded his shadow arms and nodded in satisfaction.
His ego was satiated after telling the story of his greatness to the other divine beings. He knew it was not only the Goddess of Light who came here.
"I see. You're trying to construct your devil body again, right? But, that obviously takes a very long time, especially on this planet. May I know what your plans are now?" Elena nodded in understanding.
"I left most of my possessions on the Devil Continent, and everything I brought with me during that battle was already shattered into atoms in the void. I don't care how much time it takes for me to recover, but I'm still a victor at the end of the day." Xero snorted arrogantly.
"All right, you just don't have any significant plans, do you? Then clear your formation, and let's get out of here. We'll be looking for that Ruvoid God somewhere, possibly in heaven." Elena rolled her eyes. This Evil God still wanted to look fabulous even when his situation was complicated.
"So, that Ruvoid God is still alive, huh... This is the perfect opportunity for me to end it all. What a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary, even for this foreign planet, keke..." Xero chuckled like someone who would carry out an act of bloody revenge.
"No problem, let's get out of here. I demand you to give a lot of resources for my recovery as well. But, what do you want to do with your dead disciple? You want to bring her back to life? I happen to know how to revive someone who is already dead, even if her death has passed by several days or weeks." Xero pointed his hand at the 'dead' Elysia and offered to help.
"Dead, you say? Are you a puff of stupid smoke? My Ely only fell asleep because she was exhausted in the past two days. Your weak self can't detect us properly because we're currently protected by a barrier." Elena pursed her lips and mocked harshly. She just didn't like what Xero had to say.
After saying that, Elena immediately took Elysia from Sylvia's care. She was afraid of whatever bad things might happen to Elysia. So, she had to make sure everything was under her supervision.
"Well, it's my bad. Her life presence is almost nonexistent because of your obstruction, huh... No wonder." Xero heaved a sigh of relief for a reason he didn't quite understand either. He deactivated his formation and took all the valuables from there.
He asked for a Space Bag, and Sylvia gave it to him.
Xero joined the party, and Elena immediately led everyone to fly away from the crescent island.
"Wait, let's pay a visit to the island at the center of this thunderstorm. I can feel a lot of excellent resources protected by fierce storms and deadly vortexes there. If it's the current you, we can go there to take them all." Xero suggested and pointed towards the dark cloud vortex with thousands of lightning bolts striking every moment.
"Storms and vortexes? Why plural? There is a vortex within the vortex, and a storm within the storm?" Elena stopped their flight and looked in the indicated direction.
It was the most dangerous place in this thunderstorm archipelago. If what Xero said was true, it wouldn't hurt to take them several minutes to glean some resources there.
"If that island is protected by something of this level, that place probably belongs to someone powerful, right? I mean, is it okay to loot it?" Sylvia stroked her chin and looked at the Goddess of Light.
"Hmph, it would be the island's owner's fault to leave the treasure behind with something as lousy as this. If I regained my power, I could go in there and take everything like harvesting vegetables in a garden.
And again, there's no such thing as ownership if it's not carried anywhere. If it is left behind, then it can be taken by anyone. If the treasure needs to be left behind, the owner must protect it in a hidden and super safe place. If not, then it belongs to the one who found it. That's my principle. You have a lot to learn about the devil's way of handling things, girl." Xero folded his shadowy arms in his devil lecture.
"..." Sylvia felt that she didn't want to hear anything that came out of this red-eyed black shadow ghost.
"Hou~ You're just saying that the other's belongings can be mine, but my belongings are still mine to own." Elena gave a sinister smile and led everyone through the fierce thunderstorm and deadly vortex.
It was a small horseshoe-shaped island with an additional large horseshoe shape on the outer side. The island was dark purple, almost black, with very intense dangerous electricity and lightning.
Xero asked to go outside the barrier to harvest all the treasure he could find there. "Mine, all of this is mine!"
Xero was busy harvesting the valuable resources, and the girls just watched him with a deadpan gaze.
"It's just a demonic resource, huh... I became convinced that he was probably a rotten farmer in his previous life. Or, perhaps, it was him before ascending to become a Devil God. His teachings are heretical, please be careful with all of his ramblings, Sylvi. You are a good devil, Ely's friend." Elena muttered quietly.
"Mm, understood. He is more suited to the Heretic God title then. Devil God comes from his race, Evil God comes from his evil desires, and Heretic God comes from his everyday behavior. I still hate him very much, I must say." Sylvia nodded in understanding and no longer paid attention to that shadow ghost.
After about half an hour of waiting, Xero returned with a satisfied laugh. Elena then took everyone away from that thunderstorm archipelago.
Their destination was a small safe island that was chosen randomly. Elena wanted to wait for Elysia to wake up naturally.
"Mhn-mm~" Elysia woke up from her slumber with a peaceful feeling and a calm heart. Yet, the first thing she could see was a big towering twin mountain that covered most of the red sky view.
"Good morning, did you have a good sleep?" Elena greeted by glancing down a little. She poked Elysia's cheek with a warm smile on her face.
"Hng..." Elysia realized that she was currently using Elena's lap as a pillow.
"Um, good morning. Thank you for looking after me. I fell fast asleep, thanks to your subtle sedative magic." Elysia moved to the side and sat down with a faint blush on her face.
"Kekeke..." A strange laugh in the distance made Elysia feel curious. She turned towards the sound source and was stunned to see a dark Casper sorting through a pile of demonic aura gems.
"What is that dark Casper doing?" Elysia asked Elena in confusion.
"Pfft." Elena covered her mouth as she almost exploded in laughter. Elysia's innocent confused face was really very cute to look at.
"Fufu... Dark Casper? That pitch-black ghost is the Evil God. He lost his Devil God body due to the fierce battle against the Ruvoid God in the cursed domain. We've found him, but please ignore him for the time being. Oh no, I was just discussing with the others to call him Heretic God. That title suited him better, and he thinks so too." Elena gave Elysia a head pat and replied with a tender smile.
"Evil God, Heretic God?" Elysia looked at the pitch-black ghost once again and nodded.
