Chapter 481 - For A Tour
"Ugh, somehow, that Sea God pissed me off a little." Sylvia snorted softly and took a sip of her tea.
"Please don't say that. After all, he's still a God." Ella reminded the careless girl, for goodness sake.
At that moment, Elena and Elysia entered the barrier and landed on the magic carpet. Elena immediately helped Elysia to sit up and made herself as support.
"Ely, what happened to you? Are you all right?" Evelyn asked worriedly. She didn't know why, but her best friend looked so vulnerable.
"You look a little pale. Is there anything we can help you with?" Ella also offered to help swiftly..
"Ah, um..." Sylvia wanted to give some compliments to Elysia and the Goddess of Light. Still, she swallowed back what she was about to say because it didn't seem like they were in good shape.
"Apparently, this is bad. Are you forcing yourself to help the Sea God regardless of your health? You two haven't recovered yet, have you? You said that yourself, the Goddess of Light. Now what? Is there anything we can do for you? "Sylvia rushed over and expressed her anxiety to the Goddess of Light.
"No, we're fine. It's just that, for some reason, I feel so sleepy right now." Elysia tried to keep her eyes open, but the urge to sleep was too strong for her. She wobbled a little and would probably fall if Elena didn't hold her body from behind.
"Then go to sleep, Ely. I'll take care of you here." Elena smiled faintly and smoothed Elysia's hair. Actually, she also felt sleepy, but Elysia was her priority now.
"Hng..." Elysia simply surrendered herself completely under Elena's care.
She let drowsiness win and took her to sleep. Her body seemed to lose its strength and just went to lean on Elena by using the latter's twin peaks as a pillow.
"Fufu, you spoiled girl. You'll definitely blush if you haven't fallen asleep, Ely." Elena giggled softly to see Elysia boldly taking advantage of her.
"What happened to you two? You two don't look well at all! Why don't you say something? Why are you forcing yourself to give help to the Sea God all at once? We can do that gradually, right?" Nell became super anxious and flustered. She didn't know what had happened, but she didn't want anything bad to happen to these 'two in one' special Goddess.
"Sshh... There is a strong reason behind our actions. Please let my precious disciple rest. She has worked hard to assist me." Elena put her index finger to her lips.
"You look pale too. This doesn't look good. Please tell me what I can do!" Rhea became the most agitated. She wanted to give immediate help, but she didn't know what had happened to Elena or Elysia.
"Hehe, is that so? Maybe I do need a good rest too. But my Ely has succumbed herself to sleep." Elena smiled weakly.
"Ah, really... You guys are pushing yourself too much. At this rate, we can't continue to help the more than one thousand four hundred Sea Gods." Nell held her head as if she had sudden dizziness.
But, an idea crossed his mind to provide a solution. "That's it. You two can rest in my realm, and I'll check on you periodically. For the time being, we won't allow you to use magic before you recover."
"Are you ordering me?" Elena frowned.
"No, but please understand your and Elysia's situation. You two have made everyone worry, you know?" Nell immediately gave an explanation in soft sentences.
Elena didn't say anything right away. She looked into everyone's faces, and sure enough, she and Elysia immediately got everyone worried.
She and Elysia were exhausted for two reasons, namely that they put in quite a bit of exhausting effort, and they had only leveled up a few times.
As for the pale face... Well, the air outside was a bit unfriendly with only a tiny bit of oxygen. Being a little pale was tolerable.
Above all, it was still natural to receive a cooldown and a strong urge to rest after a tiring task.
"All right, let's do that." Elena gave a subtle nod as she closed her eyes. She just let everyone's misunderstanding go like that with no intention of explaining anything.
"Un." Nell touched the bracelet on her waist.
A golden-white hole instantly appeared right in front of everyone. It moved toward the two exhausted girls without further ado.
Elysia and the Goddess of Light just disappeared right after they passed through the portal in front of everyone's eyes. It was as if they had never been there in the first place.
In fact, Nell only moved Elena and Elysia into her Firmament Realm with the instant method.
Just before the portal vanished, Rhea jumped in without a word. Nell just let her big sister go with a subtle sigh.
"Hmm?" Elena looked left and right with some confusion at the changes.
She and Elysia were placed by Nell in a luxurious bedroom under the auspices of the sky. The clouds were passing around the room, along with the fresh air.
The golden-white curtains on all sides of the room fluttered as if to give a welcome to the guests. The first impression of the place was serenity.
"Hm, are we just teleported to the heavens? No, we're in a land above the clouds? Are we in Nell's Firmament Realm?" Elena tried to guess.
"Yes, we are in my little sister's Firmament Realm. Allow me to accompany you here, and please tell me anything you need." Rhea put her feet next to the bed and gave a slight bow of respect.
"It's you, Rhea." Elena responded without needing to look at who had just arrived.
"At your service." Rhea gave the nod.
"Well then. If it's like this, I should also need to take a good rest. Can you tell me what's going on out there? Nell took everyone away from that black sea, right?" Elena helped Elysia to lie down in a correct and comfortable position.
"I'm sure everyone has gone to a safe area. I'll be standing guard here while you rest, Master Elena. I hope you and Master Elysia will be able to return to health soon. Please don't push yourself too hard again when giving help if you feel it will affect your health." Rhea expressed her concern in clear words. She just didn't want anything bad to happen.
"You don't have to worry, Rhea. Ely and I will be back healthy and fit when we wake up. I'll explain later. Have a good night." Elena stroked Rhea's head with a reassuring smile.
After that, she lay down next to Elysia. She covered the two of them with a blanket before she went to sleep too.
"Mm, good night..." Rhea touched her head and answered the greeting in a small voice. She just heaved a subtle sigh and went to grab a stool.
She sat beside the bed while looking at Elena and Elysia. Subconsciously, she faintly smiled as she rested her head on her hands.
Meanwhile, the disappearance of Elysia, Elena, and Rhea shocked almost everyone. Sylvia, who was the closest, couldn't hide her surprise for a few seconds.
"Wha- where did they go?" Sylvia gaped in amazement as she pointed to where she had last seen Elysia and the Goddess of Light.
"The Goddess of Light and Elysia are in my realm to rest. The Goddess of Nature is also there to take care of them. Let's call this a day and get out of here." Nell made a firm decision. Then, she waved her hand towards Oceanid. "Sea God, are you done with that? We will be leaving soon, and you'll come with us."
"Oh, all right, of course. I'm coming." Oceanid gave a big hug after greeting his ninety-seventh avatar. After that, he flew up to the magic carpet.
But, he became confused because he couldn't see Elysia or the Goddess of Light there. Rhea wasn't even there either. "Huh? Three people are not present. Where did they go?"
"They're resting, and my big sister is taking care of them. We're getting out of here. For the time being, I advise you to signal your other self to come to you. That way, we can save time and effort." Nell gave a suggestion with a worry in mind. Even so, she asked her magic carpet to fly through the foggy sky to the west.
"I see..." Oceanid muttered under his breath.
Most likely, his saviours just received a backlash for helping the ninety-seven of his other self in their unrecovered state. For now, he could only give a prayer for goodness to his saviours.
As Nell brought everyone back toward the Human Continent, Oceanid sent a signal to all his avatars. He wanted them to come to him as soon as possible. It was about time all of him became one whole existence.
As for the remaining of his contaminated selves, they would wait until the Goddess of Light and Elysia recovered.
"Nee, can we take a look at the Aquatic Ocean? I heard it's an underwater continent that sometimes comes to the surface? We're not visiting but just looking around. What do you think? Anyone who agrees, please raise your hands." Sylvia raised her hand to vote.
Unfortunately, only Sylvia was enthusiastic, while the others felt a little hesitant, confused, or perhaps unable to decide.
Therefore, the devil girl racked her brain to make her wish come true.
"We'll probably see and catch a lot of variety of fish~" Sylvia grinned and voiced out a temptation.
The cats immediately raised their hands. Gio only followed suit because Vanessa did the same.
"The underwater region holds a lot of treasures, right? Why don't we take a look and solve some mysteries to fill our free time? The Sea God has joined us, nuu~" Sylvia continued while glancing at the girls and the little fox.
Ella and Evelyn looked at each other before they nodded and raised their hands.
"Yes, the vote has been decided! O the Goddess of Blessings and Sea God, please take us to Aquatic Ocean for a tour." Sylvia clasped her hands in prayer, but she smiled widely, and her eyes sparkled with joy.
