Chapter 671: Give a Chance?
"Impossible!" Xero was gasping for air after exchanging hundreds of moves in the last half hour.
He was sure that he could continue this fight for days, but he didn't know why his magic energy was drained so quickly.
"Haha, I predicted this. Not only do you run out of energy from your magic attacks, but you also get drained every time you get close to my Al. Haha, soon you won't be able to support your dark domain, and this fight will end just like that." Alashor laughed in satisfaction while patting his new toy.
Xero weighed the pros and cons. He was in a battle he couldn't win at this point. This gigantic golem had a light attribute. His dark magic was at a disadvantage, especially since its passive effect kept draining his magic energy.
'Xero, we will step back for a while and take care of Alashor after we deal with the matters of our world. The situation took an unexpected turn, and he was currently under the auspices of the Council. We don't know his change will be for the best or worst because I still find it all weird.' Rhea sent telepathy to Xero at Elysia's request.
'We're just going to leave this piece of shit unattended? After what he and his race did to our world? I would butcher him effortlessly if I was currently at my peak power. Damn, his gigantic golem is such a pain.' Xero clicked his tongue in annoyance.
'Let's call this a retreat for a wise move. Elysia and her master couldn't intervene to deal with Alashor because of the Council's statement, but they would do something about Alashor. We just have to wait for the right opportunity.' Rhea tried to persuade Xero to follow her request.
'You're right. We'll just wait for the right opportunity. Tch, those Council Gods are really tricky and petty. They confused Elysia and Sun.' Xero glared at Alashor and that gigantic golem once again. He then revoked his dark domain.
*Crack*
A dimensional crack occurred, and the dark domain shattered like broken glass. Xero returned to the balcony of the sacred hall. Alashor and the gigantic golem appeared some distance away.
"Whoa... This golem is huge. It can flatten the palace and city underneath, maybe?" Sylvia looked up with some feeling of amazement.
The gigantic golem suddenly transformed into a small brown cube. Alashor catches it and goes back to the balcony. "Oops. Are you satisfied with that battle?"
"Tch, I'll come back another time and kill you." Xero clicked his tongue again.
"You can come anytime, but I'll probably be busy after this. So, I can't play with you. I'm already comfortable here and won't disturb your world anymore. Why do you insist on taking care of me while your world is still in danger because of those accursed creatures, the Ruvoid Race? You don't have much time until they are all liberated from the sealed areas and ravaged your world again." Alashor sat back down in his seat as if nothing had happened before.
"Hm, you're right, Alashor. We were actually surprised by your sudden change. We are in a dilemma because of your membership in the Council. Are you going to just leave your race and turn over a new leaf?" Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.
She and her group were initially looking for the Ruvoid God to eliminate the threat. Still, the situation suddenly took an unexpected turn. If her group insisted on getting rid of Alashor, another big problem obviously would arise because of the Council.
"The past me is meaningless now. After gaining enlightenment in the past two weeks, I have questioned what I really seek in the life of my existence. Originally, I was just part of a colony that presided over millions of mindless monsters and cursed beasts. My curse divinity encourages me to do things against virtue, and I can see it's just a futile thing to try to achieve true godhood." Alashor grasped his hand and looked up at the cosmic sky beyond the golden clouds.
"Do you think all your sins will just disappear? There is not only one who wants the destruction of the Ruvoid Race, including you." Elysia asked in a neutral tone to represent Rhea.
"Hehe, I'm no longer the Ruvoid God. Can't you see that I'm a child of light now? All my sins mean nothing because I no longer care. I just want to reach a higher level.." Alashor smirked and looked deeply at Elysia and the Golden Goddess.
"What do you mean?" Elysia blinked her eyes a few times. She didn't understand what Alashor meant.
"I suspect that you and your master are entities from the higher world. You are foreign entities outside of Vrelenia's world law and completely unpredictable or predictable. Everything is foggy and gray. That explains that your existence is superior to this low-tier universe. The Sage God is the one who proves that because of his divinity, and that's why we're here speaking in peace, not craving violence or just wasting time. You are too dangerous to offend." Alashor glanced at the two Gods besides him, and they nodded their heads.
"That's a good theory, but we feel you're too dangerous to be left unattended. We've obtained approval from the higher-ups of the Council to scan the curse energy on your entire being and cast a sigil at you. That way, we'll know if you do something evil or anything involving curse energy or anything related, regardless of the distance." Elena concluded the end of the conversation with an agreed-upon decision.
"Oh, sigils with dimensional laws? Very well, do that. I'm rebuilding my new divinity now that I've lost all my divine laws. I'm not sure you'll find anything." Alashor shrugged his shoulders and spread his arms.
Elysia, Elena, and Rhea looked at each other and nodded.
Elysia implemented an initial precaution to ensure her safety and the success of her scan. She approached Alashor in a tight-fitting, thin barrier under Elena's watchful eye.
"Stretch out your hand. Don't resist the flow that will scan you." Elysia stretched out her hand.
Alashor put his hand on Elysia's hand without hesitation. He instead took advantage of the situation to grip her delicate hand. Unfortunately, a thin layer of protection blocked the direct contact.
*Swoosh*
Alashor suddenly felt a stream of unexpected energy rush through his body instantly. It was too short for him to realize what was happening. He could only look into Elysia's purplish-blue eyes. They were shining so beautifully, and he was pretty fascinated by them. It was as if it could swallow his soul into an abyss of no return.
He knew very well that Elysia's origin was still a mystery. She could tell the unspoken secret without needing to know the ins and outs. Someone from the higher realm universe, and he would reach that realm someday with the right path in his new existence.
*Swoosh*
An energy blast occurred and penetrated all the way to Alashor's back. Several black veils of mist emitted from his body and vanished into nothingness in seconds.
Elysia then released her hand from Alashor's grip. "You still have some remaining curse energy in your soul. Right now, you most likely won't be able to cultivate any curse-related magic. However, that doesn't eliminate the possibility."
She then took a step back and left the rest to Rhea.
"Mm." Rhea just nodded and stood in front of Alashor. She put her hands together and chanted magic silently.
A rune and sigil appeared in her palms, and she immediately pushed them towards Alashor's chest. It was as if it was seeped into his body and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Huh? Are you done? I don't feel anything, though?" Alashor came out of his brief reverie and checked his chest. He was stunned because of Elysia's charm, but now he didn't know what had just been placed inside him.
"That, of course, you can't detect. I won't say much, but I will know if you do something bad. We will return to our world soon, but we will also return to Earth soon. We want to know what you and the Council want to withdraw from that God Game." Rhea took a few steps back and held Elysia's hand again.
"Hou~ It's best if your group doesn't interfere with that big event. It's done for the sake of the balance of the world and without forcing any party." Alashor smirks and narrows his eyes.
"Okay, now your business is done, right? Then you can leave the Sacred City. You can do whatever you want, but don't disturb us." Odavius raised his hand for attention.
"Fufu, you can't kick us out even if you want to." Elena covered her mouth and was ready to cast a dimensional disturbance if necessary to ward off forced teleportation.
"What more could you want?" Odavius frowned.
"We want to know what the Council members were doing in the underground halls of your sacred palace. They look like they're making something there. You tell us, or we'll find out. Besides, you need to entertain the Divine Association's envoy with a good hospitalization. Dave here has a lot of questions that you ignored earlier." Elena pointed her palm to the nearby dove.
"We're perfecting our ultimate guardian golem. Our gods and angels are working on it there. That's why you can't see any Council members anywhere." Odavius sighed and answered.
"Are you going on that project again?" Dave frowned.
After getting a nod of the head from Odavius, Dave immediately raised the previous topic, which was ignored, to take advantage of the Golden Goddess's fair opportunity.
Unfortunately, not all clarity is obtained by Dave. Even so, he got the gist of the Council's actual situation. However, that would not stop the Divine Association from opposing the Council's great event.
Finished with that, Elena ended the meeting with a goodbye as her group decided to see what the Council would do next month.
Alashor just looked at Elysia's group flying away with a mysterious smile.
"We let that great villain live to see tomorrow. However! It will be a different story when I return to Earth next month. This is just a strategic retreat." Xero made a fist-clenching pose with his wing. He was dissatisfied and quite annoyed.
"What are you saying, Tic? You lost against that little boy and his toy, right? You're also a villain in the eyes of many people. It's a bit strange to call Alashor a great villain." Sylvia rolled her eyes and smirked mockingly.
"What did you say, little devil girl!? It was a fierce battle, and it was a draw. I could pulp that hateful boy to a pulp if that gigantic golem wasn't there. The villain of a villain is a great villain." Xero felt offended and immediately gasped.
"..." Sylvia just rolled her eyes and went silent. She knew Elysia and her circle, including her, only cooperated with the Heretic God because they had a common interest and goal. Otherwise, they might already be the opposing parties in some situations.
