Chapter 302 - Two Goddesses' Continuation Conversation
Shortly after getting the green light from Elena, Nell started telling about her big sister's current state that she knew, hoping for some help.
"My big sister's name is Rhea, a Goddess who was worshiped by two races at once. A Fairy Goddess but also considered an Elf Goddess, and known as the Goddess of Life. After I fell into a deep slumber due to a curse, my big sister was still fighting for the world with other Gods and Goddesses.
I don't know much of what happened afterwards, after the accursed monsters' mass sealing in various places. However, during my explorations last week in Fairy Continent... I felt my big sister's magic energy fluctuation.
The forest that was once the heart of the continent and the center of the fairies' life is now just a dead forest city with no surrounding population. It's now just a forest that feels gloomy. Even the tree of life has turned yellow and a little withered.
I'm sure my big sister is in that tree of life, but when I tried to get close to it... I never managed to get close to the tree of life.
It was as if I flew closer but only to realize I had passed the tree of life. The dimension was bent by my big sister's magic. No one is allowed to come near, not even myself. I tried talking to my big sister, but I got no response no matter how many times I tried.
The tree of life was supposed to be immortal, but it was as if it would die in a few hundred or thousand years. Something must have happened to my big sister, and it could be severe. The Goddess of Light, grandgodmaster, please go there with me and help my big sister. I request this with a profound plea." Nell closed her eyes and clasped her hands as if she was begging.
Elena conferred a little with Elysia then opened her mouth to speak. "Very well, for that, you need to convince my disciple as well because I will not go without her. However, will your big sister be on your side easily? It will be troublesome if your big sister Rhea behaves like the Evil God. Well, although I also plan to cooperate with him."
"Eh? Uhm, alright, I'll persuade Elysia too. Thank you. My big sister is so nice to me, so that's for sure." Nell nodded happily as the gratitude flowed through her. It would be easy to convince that kindhearted girl.
She understood why the Goddess of Light would not go with Elysia... Considering the incident a few days ago, Elysia almost died due to the sealed area and the accursed monsters.
However, Nell suddenly realized Elena's last sentences. "What? Will you cooperate with that Evil God? He will only cooperate if there is a proportional advantage for him. If not, he will only eliminate all accursed monsters without caring about other races other than devils."
"That makes perfect sense to me. That's why I asked for a way to contact him. Wait for the right date, me and you will make a deal with him. Oh, maybe Rhea will help us with the deal." Elena rested the cheek on her hand.
If this little Goddess was overly confident in her sworn elder sister, then one additional ally was already on the list. The two Goddesses would cooperate, but what about the other Gods?
"Uhm, all right, if you've made up your mind, then we can just beat him into oblivion and force him to make the proper deals." Nell stroked her chin for a moment and agreed. After thinking twice, it was confirmed that all divine beings should cooperate for the common good.
"You sound a bit violent, little one. Does that have anything to do with last night's event, hmm? Never mind, then, what about the other two Gods?" Elena immediately brought up a topic of concern to herself and Elysia.
"Oh, the other two Gods besides Evil God? Beast God Regulus and Sea God Oceanids? Well... I told you, right? I only met Regulus for a moment before I was kicked out of his domain. As for Oceanids... Well, I only met one of him." Nell touched her index finger along with mixed feelings.
"One of him? Is Sea God more than one? Wait, does his name stand for the plural?" Elena blinked her eyes with a hint of surprise at a few things.
"En, you are right, grandgodmaster. Sea God actually has the name Oceanid, but... He already numbered three thousand. So, you see... Oceanids." Nell nodded innocently.
"Hmm... Why are there three thousand of him? Is the Sea God equal to the strength of three thousand Gods now? It's too fierce. But, how do you know the exact number, little one?" Elena was a little dumbfounded at her ridiculous thought.
She imagined three thousand Sea Gods lined up in one brigade for war. World conquest could be achieved with that power, right?
"In my opinion, it doesn't work that way... It was himself who told me when I met him in the far east sea." Nell felt helpless in responding to that.
"Then?" Elena asked for the next.
Nell thought for a moment as she glanced up. "Emm... This is just my opinion. If three thousand of him are combined, it will be the same as the real Sea God. So, each one of him is equal to one-third thousand of his original strength."
"Well, now I think of something else. After all, why did the Sea God make himself into three thousand versions of himself?" Elena became clueless again because Elysia questioned something.
"He's also had the curse, just trying to get around that by splitting himself into a lot. Well, he is the embodiment of water, so it's easy for him." Nell sighed, feeling a little jealous.
If she had that kind of ability, maybe she shouldn't lose much of her strength because of the curse.
"Then what about that Regulus? How rude, he kicked you away even though you only came to say hello. He is the third God known to the world, right?" Elena grinned a little, feeling pretty amused.
"Right, right! That ugly and fat lion was so rude as to drive me away without saying much. He will see, when my big sister is around, he can only meow like a little cat. That fat old lion is senile and doesn't know that my big sister is still alive. Hmph!" Nell clenched her fists and shook them slightly in annoyance.
"Well, it looks like you are quite disrespected among the Gods and Goddesses, little one. Last night Xero bullied you, and here comes Regulus. I think Oceanids are quite civil when compared to these two Gods." Elena felt a little sorry for this little Goddess.
"Turn it into a compliment, please! They are actually just jealous of my ability to bestow blessings. I am indeed the weakest of the 33 divine beings, but I stood until the grand battle was almost at its peak." Nell pumped her hands in her defense.
Then, she snorted and searched for words to tarnish the reputation of the two rude Gods. "Hmph! That fat old lion is a loser and useless. He is the God, but only his wives and followers helped a lot. As for that stupid Shiro, he is stupid beyond doubt. He made the first attack as a great vanguard and massacred tons of accursed monsters, but he fell first and died like an idiot."
"Ara, I want to hear a little story about these two Gods." Elena's eyes once again sparked with curiosity. She wanted to use a little information about them to smooth out future deals.
Of course, Nell took that and leaked a lot of information about Xero and Regulus out of annoyance. She tried to make herself look even more remarkable by badmouthing them. Oceanids was no exception. Well, she was carried away by the atmosphere and shared many other things.
After hearing Nell's sequel story about that three Gods, Elena chuckled as she covered her mouth with politeness and elegance. "I see, fufu... No wonder Xero said about his temporary death and took such a crazy path to get the so-called absolute power. He felt humiliated because he died first, and his revival skill, fufu..."
Then, Elena heard a question from Elysia in her mind about Nell's big sister. She represented to ask it. "It seems quite a lot of divine beings respect and fear your big sister, little one. You are lucky enough to get protection from her."
"Hehe, of course. I am special, and so is my big sister. The Goddess of Life is a divine being ranked third in the Divine Order." Nell puffed out her chest proudly.
"I see... So, rank 3 and 33, quite reasonable." Elena mumbled under her breath, but Nell was too oblivious to hear that.
Elena looked at the clock for a moment, and she thought it was enough for now. "Ah, three hours have passed so quickly? Thank you for enlightening me with the ancient history of this world, little one. However, there is still one thing that is bothering me. Why did Xero nickname the Goddess of Life as 'parasite'? It just doesn't make sense to me."
"Uhm, for that... We need to meet my big sister. You need to hear it from her face to face. I dare not say that, sorry." Nell hesitated to answer and decided on the best solution.
"I understand. Let's get out of here. You also still need to persuade my precious disciple. Oh, you also need to make good excuses for Elysia's friends and the academy." Elena got up from the sofa and revoked her layered barriers.
"Un." Nell nodded with a bright smile. She was confident that she could persuade Elysia. Her request would be guaranteed.
Elena walked out of the room, and Nell flew right behind.
