Novel Full 842 Heavenly Ascension
That provocation made the indecisive deities immediately solidify their intention to participate in the heavenly battle with determination.
After all, they had the title of deity for a reason, and the indecision from that fear could become a regret that would tarnish their divine power. The heart demon would devour them from within if they now decided to retreat as cowards.
Upon recollection, the strength of all deities weakened in the Earth Realm because they couldn’t go against the Earth’s rules. So, the battlefield in the Heaven Realm was a battle where they could use their full power.
After everyone entered the magic circle formation, Gaia waved her hand at the surrounding nature spirits. After that, she faced everyone who was about to ascend to the Heaven Realm. “This ascension is different than usual as the Earth’s barrier will remain there and only make way for us for a moment. We don’t know what will greet us upon arrival, so please put on your guardian artifact or protective gear now.”
“Fair enough.” Zhao Fu took a deep breath and summoned several protective artifacts. The other deities also immediately put on their personal protective equipment.
“Ehm, our divine battlesuit is perfect for self-defense. Let’s activate it now.” Elysia faced her group and proposed. She couldn’t think of the best protection items from those divine battlesuits.
“Yeah. After this is a battle to determine the fate of heaven. The time to relax and play around is over. We’re back on the battlefield of madness.” Sylvia heaved a subtle sigh.
“Yeah, the battlefield!” Xentia is feeling excited. For her, the battlefield was similar to her playing ground. So, it was still her playing around time.
“Mm, we will fight our best.” Evelyn is feeling confident. She activated her divine battlesuit, and the other girls followed shortly after.
They had no anxiety because they had high assurance and confidence in their group. They only felt their relaxing and peaceful time was a luxury because they knew they would soon go to the chaotic battlefield.
“…” Lifa noticed Gaia was already wearing the Goddess dress. Because of that, she also immediately activated her divine dress.
Elysia, Rhea, and Nell were the last to don their divine battlesuits. Meanwhile, Gio didn’t need any additional protection since his body’s protection was impenetrable as long as he was around the earth element.
Elysia and Rhea’s transformation is the most striking and eye-catching. After the light of divinity faded, they appeared before everyone as the six-winged Ethereal Goddesses!
“Wow, I know you are strong and amazing. However, who would have thought you were the seraphim who ascended to the divinity! Wonderful, this is not an artifact or godly item, but the real thing!” Darkness suddenly circled the two seraphim excitedly. She tried to touch their fascinating wings, but someone stopped her.
“Don’t bother us. The Goddesses have already transformed, and you can get hurt if you keep getting close, devil.” Xentia dragged the curious devil away.
“What? Hey, that hurts. I just wanted to say hi to them. Why are you rude when they haven’t said anything, mecha girl?” Darkness shook off the hand that was gripping her arm tightly.
“Not mecha girl, but Xentia, the hero of light! Remember that, the devil. Their divine power can kill a creature of dark elements like you. Be thankful that you are an ally, or else you will be wiped out like those demons upon our first encounter.” After saying that, Xentia ignored the devil and simply returned to her group.
“You are quite cocky for an artificial human, mecha girl. I am the Great Ancient Demon God. Are you going to try to fight me with your own strength? Don’t feel arrogant just because you are around powerful otherworldly Goddesses.” Arthrozan snorted contemptuously. He felt the ridicule was also directed at him.
“Oh, you are the ancient who challenged the great and lost miserably. Your loathsome scheme perished as your dignity was forced to its knees before the absolute. Xentia was born as a god-slaying angel and also the hero. So, what’s your point?” Xentia folded her arms and spoke the apparent truth.
“E-eh?” Elysia gaped in surprise. She didn’t know what happened last night, but the innocent Xentia now suddenly became rude?
“Heh, looks like I have to destroy you first before destroying that Cursed God from another world.” Arthrozan immediately became angry.
He grinned and made a hand-claw gesture. His dark energy also surged up drastically, ready to attack.
“You want to be exterminated so much now, demon?” Xentia summoned her cannon.
*Pat*
Rhea heaved a subtle sigh and gave a hand chop to Xentia’s head.
“Ow! Why?” Xentia held her head.
“We don’t have time to quarrel with our ally. You are the hero of light, but not all darkness is evil. Devil doesn’t always mean evil. Also, I didn’t teach you to be rude. The girl should always be calm and elegant. We have a mission and a task. Do you still remember?” Rhea raised her palm to the angry Demon God, signaling to retreat. She also pulled Xentia to go behind her.
“Mm, Xentia understands. Sorry for being rude, devil, and demon. That scantily clad woman has no decency. Your dark element also makes Xentia feel restless, and you should keep your distance.” Xentia nodded in understanding and immediately apologized.
“Tsk.” Arthrozan just clicked his tongue. It was below him to explode with fury here because his opponent was just an ignorant little human girl.
“Well, I accept your apology. However, what do you mean by a scantily clad woman? This is my glorious outfit!” Darkness felt a little offended.
“Wait, Xentia was learning about the devil race last night. You are a succubus, right? Are you short on clothing materials?” Xentia tapped her chin while trying to remember something.
“Don’t compare me to a succubus! I am the ruler of the darkness realm, Darkness! Divine materials are scarce, and making divine artifacts is also very expensive… Hey, why should I tell you?” Darkness just snorted and left. She glanced at Elysia’s apologetic smile and assumed Xentia’s matter just now never happened.
“Ahem, please don’t fight. We’ll be leaving in a minute, so please prepare yourself.” Gaia cleared her throat to get everyone’s attention. They would soon go to heaven for a decisive battle, but someone still had time to quarrel here?
“Are you all ready? We will fight the Ruvoid God soon.” Elysia asked everyone in her group.
“Mm, we’ve been ready since last night.” Vanessa patted her white dagger with an enthusiastic smile.
The girls answered with the same answer but in a different situation. However, a certain girl felt a bit confused and suspicious simultaneously. She could only speculate but dared not voice it out.
“Eve, what are you thinking?” Elysia took Evelyn close to her. She already knew some of the plans drawn up last night without her, and Evelyn would always be nearby.
“Eh, ah, no. Nothing…” Evelyn just smiled and changed her expression. Her best friend is too sensitive to realize it.
“Is that true?” Elysia didn’t feel sure. Of all the people, only Evelyn seemed to be bothered by something.
Evelyn felt overwhelmed as Elysia looked her in the eye. Her best friend looked like a real Goddess now, and her mouth would probably leak out everything she was thinking if Elysia asked for it.
“Ely, where is your master? Is her divine self still with us?” Evelyn changed the subject.
“Mm, my master is still with us.” Elysia put her hand on her upper chest.
“I see…” Evelyn nodded slightly. She began to understand a few things from the dozens of clues she got while she was around Elysia.
For many reasons, she started believing that Elysia was a Goddess. Elysia was just playing around as a human girl. Elysia and the Goddess of Light were like sisters than masters and disciples.
Not to mention, she accidentally heard something like ‘two in one’ or something from the Goddess of Life during last night’s discussion. Perhaps, Elysia and the Goddess of Light fused into one entity? That was why Elysia’s master would ‘disappear’ in some situations, but Elysia said the Goddess of Light was still around.
Perhaps, the current Elysia was an entity with the power of two Goddess multiplied. However, if Elysia was just an ordinary human with extraordinary talent… why would the Goddess of Light-
Evelyn patted her cheeks and put aside her train of thought as she felt the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. The day she would know everything about her best friend Elysia might come. She just needed to stick around and join the boat.
‘The time hasn’t come yet, Eve. You can’t rush things out.’ Evelyn muttered in her mind. She remembered Elysia’s response that night when she asked about that sensitive matter in the kitchen.
Elysia didn’t want to answer it and shifted the topic to something else. Evelyn also couldn’t answer whether she would join and leave her family behind.
Both of them could not give certainty because they feared something would change. Evelyn believed that time would provide an assurance someday because she would make up her mind when that day came.
“Open the path for us. Heavenly Ascension!” Gaia raised two fingers and activated her formation.
The magic circle formation emitted golden light and soared into the sky like a pillar of golden light. Everyone turned into particles, shot into the sky, and pierced out of the mortal realm.
The nature spirits looked up at the sky even though the pillar of light had disappeared. The departure of Earth Mother and everyone else only took an instant. Yet, the nature spirits didn’t move for a few minutes as if they wanted to confirm something in the sky.
