Novel Full 1010 They Make Up
Elysia returned to the Firmament Realm before dusk. It was almost dinner, but Elysia wanted a quick warm shower first.
She could clean herself with simple cleaning magic. Still, the warm water flowing down her body was an enjoyment that couldn’t be replaced, especially after a tiring day.
“You’re back, Ely. Would you join me for an evening tea?” Elena greeted from near the balcony.
“Sure, but allow me to take a shower first.” Elysia was surprised that she failed to notice Elena was there, but she happily accepted the offer.
It was just that, she felt that the aura and charm emanating from Elena were quite different from usual. The usual Elena was caring and easygoing, but the current one was more refined and elegant? Somehow, she felt Luna took part in Elena’s current situation.
“Are you going to avoid me now?” Elena muttered softly while looking at the sunset. It was not the actual sun, but the scenery was the same.
“…” Elysia stopped before she opened the bathroom door. She glanced at Elena as if she could feel the lingering sadness.
She didn’t try to avoid Elena, nor did she really punish Elena to make Elena suffer. But what about the current situation?
Elysia couldn’t ignore Elena’s request. Therefore, she sat on the tea table seat opposite Elena.
“How was your day?” Elena felt happy inside, but she didn’t express it clearly on her face. She opened the conversation with a tender smile and poured a cup of warm tea for Elysia.
“My day went as planned. Ai and Zera helped me a lot, and Sylvi’s progress is progressing well. How about you? Have you reflected upon your action?” Elysia received the tea.
“Would my sweet lil sis forgive this big sister?” Elena didn’t think Elysia would bring this topic up upfront. Still, she would gladly entertain it as it was something she wanted to discuss.
“Err… I’m not really mad at you, okay? I’ve forgiven from the start. I want to educate you, so you don’t play with my spirit and feelings.” Elysia sipped her tea.
“So-” It was a pleasant surprise for Elena, but that was to be expected from Elysia. Elena opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say now.
She learned many things about ‘how to be a perfect big sister’ from Luna, Rhea, Fortuna, and Lifa today. However, things had gone too smoothly, and Elysia was genuinely unexpected. Perhaps, Elysia also wanted them to make up soon.
“I also need to apologize, sister. Perhaps, I overreacted and hurt your feeling… Shall we make up now?”
“Yes, we are fine.”
“But, you can’t treat my helpless spirit as you please anymore. That is a matter of consent.”
“Mm, I’ll get permission from you beforehand.”
“You’re just going to do it again? How curious are you about that kind of skinship?”
Elysia and Elena made small talk like sisters who had just made up. They exchanged smiles, but Elena suddenly stood up and approached Elysia.
“???” Elysia felt something strange from Elena’s calm face. She also stood up reflexively and stepped back.
“Hmm, I don’t know… Maybe, I just love you too much, my dear Lil Ely?” Elena gently pushed Elysia to sit on the bed.
Elysia thought Elena would push her down, but she didn’t expect what Elena did after that.
Elena sat on the floor in a seiza position, then put her head on Elysia’s lap. “Can you please lift the connection restriction? Let me know what’s in your heart and mind, Ely.”
“Okay.” Elysia lifted the restriction at once. She couldn’t bear to punish Elena for too long, after all.
After that, Elena talked with Elysia like a caring big sister, but her conduct said otherwise. She was still lying on Elysia’s lap like a spoiled little sister. However, Elysia entertained Elena and caressed the beautiful long golden hair of the girl on her lap.
“Ely, it’s almost time for dinner.” Elena stood up.
“Um, but I need to take a quick shower first.” Elysia twirled a lock of her hair.
“You really want to shower, and that’s no reason to avoid me, eh? Wait, you’re just sweating a little, and cleaning magic can do the job instantly, right? Your scent and natural body fragrance are eternal too.” Elena smiled wryly as she realized the truth.
“That might be possible, but today was quite tiring. Zera became my weapon, and she craved violence. We exterminated many monsters and evil demons throughout the day. A quick warm shower can wash away the tiredness and rejuvenate freshness.” Elysia took her towel.
“I see… So, how about we take a shower together? You’re tired, and I can rub your back.”
“That’s not necessary.”
“Hehe, you don’t have to be so shy. I’ve been there since you were born.”
“…”
About a quarter of an hour later, Elysia and Elena came into the dining room hand in hand.
“Hmm?” Rhea smiled with relief when she saw her duo masters reuniting after sorting things out.
“Master Ely, please have an attack of my vitality soup.” Rhea presented a special bowl of soup for Elysia.
“Thank you. The other dishes… Am I the only one who gets this soup?” Elysia received the soup but felt it was the only one available there.
“Yes, Sylvi already has her share. You must replenish your lost vitality to return to its prime or beyond, master.” Rhea nodded in reply.
“Alright.” Elysia sat next to Rhea, and Elena was on her right. She drank the herbal vitality soup and felt her life force gradually recover.
<| Lv. 162 | Holy Saint | Elysia | Female (21) | HP: 968,500 / 968,500 | EP: 4,601e+9 / – |>
<| STR: 357 | AGI: 487 | VIT: 551 | INT: 25,625 |>
Elysia checked her current status screen but didn’t find any changes there. She hadn’t made another breakthrough and was free from buffs or blessings. So, it was as could be expected.
Sylvia drank a sweet juice slowly as she still couldn’t get rid of the bitter taste on her tongue. Upon seeing Elysia’s calm demeanor after drinking that vitality soup, she couldn’t help but ask. “Eck! It’s not bitter, Ely?”
“No, that’s kinda sweet.” Elysia put down the bowl.
“What kind of unfair treatment is this?” Sylvia muttered under her breath, but she didn’t dare raise a protest.
After all, she was lucky enough to get a Goddess to concoct a bowl of elixir for her, even if it was bitter. It was probably a form of dissatisfaction because she dragged Elysia down?
“You are already at the Empress level but still complaining about the medicine’s bitter taste. Look at Dori there. She is happily eating her salad.” Yuuki pointed at the happy pink mermaid.
“Err, never mind.” Sylvia averted her gaze. That pink mermaid was a freak.

Elysia’s group then shared their stories, which became the topic of conversation that night. When morning came, Nell would go out to meet the other Gods.
It was about forty-eight days before the predicted decisive battle. The girls also wanted to monitor each continent’s developments and situations.
“Please be extra cautious. Report your situation immediately in case something unusual happens.” Elysia expressed her concern for everyone before they split into several teams.
“Yes, my master!” The girls responded in unison as if they already had a tacit understanding beforehand. They no longer hid the fact their master was Elysia.
Everyone was divided into teams and joined hands before using the teleportation talisman.
*Zap*
Everyone except Elysia’s team went to their respective tasks. Meanwhile, Elysia’s team flew to the middle of the ocean to meet the Sea God.
“This sea… His breath should be nearby. He is at the bottom of the deepest ocean.” Sorush could feel a faint sense of divine water energy flowing beneath the ocean.
“Then, what are we waiting for? I want to see his current situation. Let’s hope he doesn’t present himself in a miserable state, or it will be a lifetime of shame, hahaha!” Aether laughed sarcastically and then plunged into the ocean.
Oceanid was meditating inside a giant clam shell on a seabed five kilometers below sea level. For some strange reason, he felt his nose was so itchy, and he sneezed for no reason.
“What in the world? I am the embodiment of divine water, and I can still sneeze? I can’t be sick, but what kind of omen is this?” Oceanid rubbed his nose.
*Knock* *Knock*
Someone knocked on his meditation spot, and Oceanid needed to be in a better mood to welcome the uninvited guest. He opened a slight gap with a hint of annoyance.
“Yo, water brat. You’re still as snotty brat as ever.” Aether greeted by emitting his ice-cold aura but did not freeze the seawater.
“A ghost or an illusion?” Oceanid rubbed his eyes when he saw someone who resembled his old friend. However, that half-transparent ice ghost was still there.
“Snotty water brat! Get out of your hiding place and greet your grandpa right now!” Aether dragged Oceanid out of the giant clam shell.
“Hahaha, who would have thought you were tough enough to survive the catastrophe in one piece, my old friend.” Sorush patted Oceanid on the shoulder with a nostalgic laugh.
“Another one? Wait, you are the Ice God and Sky God? You are still alive!? That is good!” Oceanid finally recognized his old friends.
“We are but remnant divine souls. We have died and fallen on the battlefield. Our existence is a remnant of our will to pass our legacies to future generations.” Aether smacked Oceanid’s back.
