Chapter 655: Returned and Kidnapped
Xero had just finished sorting his newly acquired demonic resources, and something suddenly crossed his mind. “Hey, Sun, are you going to directly look for that Ruvoid God in this world’s heaven?”
“Hm, let’s see… We don’t know how to go to heaven yet, so let’s say we’ll be there in a day or two. Do you want to do something?” Elena patted her chin and looked up slightly. She tried to estimate their schedule.
“One to two days, huh… That’s too short a time. I can’t get into meditation with the resources I just got.” Xero thought for a moment regarding his body recovery. He couldn’t just set up a formation and meditate for just that short time.
He then glanced at Elysia with some ideas in mind. “Well, I’m confident enough to eliminate that Ruvoid God if he suffers the same damage as me. So, where are we going now?”
“We’ll go to Earth’s human realm first, and find a way to heaven. It’s not a good thing to let that Ruvoid God roam. Who knows what terrifying thing he did there.” Elena heaved a subtle sigh and shook her head.
“That’s good. I will hide in your disciple’s shadow for the time being.” Xero swallowed his Space Bag and shot towards Elysia’s shadow instantly.
“No, you can’t hide in my Ely’s shadow for any reason. My precious disciple’s aura is pure, and you are the opposite.” Elena pinched a flash of black aura from Elysia’s shadow and threw it away.
“Then, I will hide in the devil girl’s shadow.” Xero was about to dart into Sylvia’s shadow. Still, the girl in question immediately took cover behind the Goddess of Light.
When she glanced at the cat, Elysia immediately secured that little animal.
“No one seems to want to let you hide in their shadow. How about you take a form instead?” Elena suggested a suggestion.
“I’m not in the mood to waste my magic energy. My current power is limited, and every ounce of it is precious.” Xero folded his arms and snorted.
“Hm, then, there are only two solutions for you if you don’t want to be seen as an evil spirit or a ghost.” Elena gave a V hand gesture.
“How dare you equate me with the lowly evil spirit and ghost. The current me is the wandering immortal devil soul. If I came out of the underworld in this state, it would cause me to lose energy every second. But, what solution do you have? want to say?” Xero felt a little offended, but he wanted to hear what advice would be given.
“First, you can enter a vessel like an artifact or the like. That is what the Goddess of Nature previously did. Second, you can take over a body for your temporary use. I would rather recommend you to the first option.” Elena explained a little about the idea.
“That sounds good, but the second option is the easier thing to do. I don’t have a suitable artifact here, and neither do you. Our innate laws are vastly different, and contradict each other. I don’t want to suffer because of your holy light aura.” Xero looked right and left. He began to scan the surrounding environment to find a suitable underworld creature to serve as his temporary vessel.
“Well, whatever.” Elena just shrugged her shoulders as if she didn’t care.
Moments later, Xero’s red eyes gleamed as he spotted a suitable target on a high cliff several dozen kilometers across the island.
“Wait here a moment. I’ll be back soon.” Xero announced his departure and instantly shot northward at lightning speed.
“What does he want to do?” Sylvia wondered.
“Who knows? Let’s wait for him to come back.” Elena shook her head.
“Hmm, alright.” Sylvia just nodded and went beside Elysia. “Are you feeling well, Ely? This is a bit worrying. You need to get some rest, okay?”
“I’m in great shape right now. Thanks for worrying about me, Sylvi. You too, Vann.” Elysia petted her white cat with care.
“Purr…” Vanessa purred in her master’s arms. She could sleep anytime in this warmth.
For some reason, Sylvia felt a bit envious of Vanessa. She also remembered about Yuuki. That fox girl could also get a similar treatment from Elysia, but not for her.
“You missed rest for two days. Don’t you feel sleepy, Sylvi?” Elysia checked Sylvia’s fatigue level, but strangely, she couldn’t find any signs. This devil girl still looked fresh and fit as usual.
“I will rest when we arrive at Earth’s human realm. You will accompany me then, ehehe…” Sylvia wrapped her arm around Elysia’s.
Elysia just smiled and gave Sylvia a head pat. After that, she asked for a story about what happened when she fell asleep via telepathy. Elena complied with the request with pleasure.
A few moments later, a crow the size of an eagle landed near Sylvia. “This demonic bird is worthy enough to become my temporary vessel. Now that all the preparations are complete, we go to the human realm and find a way to go to heaven.”
“Is that you, Heretic God?” Elena blinked her eyes a few times with some astonishment.
“Yeah, it’s me. Is there a problem?” Xero spread his wings. He felt this jet-black bird was quite extraordinary.
“No, nothing.” Elena shook her head and stood up. She helped Elysia to her feet as well.
Elysia prepared herself to teleport to Earth’s human realm using Erina as a marker. Elena entered Elysia’s Soul Realm, and Sylvia held Elysia’s arm while hugging Vanessa.
“Please prepare for a slight dimension shift. Your magic will be sealed by the Earth God, so please don’t be surprised.” Elysia reminded and erected a spherical barrier around them. After that, she touched the big crow, and they teleported back to Earth.
“Eh?” Xero was stunned in surprise. A dimension shift suddenly occurred, and the scenery suddenly changed.
For some mysterious reason, he can no longer feel his magic energy. He also can’t use any kind of magic.
“What, what happened!?” Xero exclaimed in surprise. He tried to check his left leg.
A rune bracelet tattoo was already there, and it was most likely the mastermind behind the sealed magic. However, that seal couldn’t be destroyed no matter how many times he tried because he couldn’t even use his magic!
Xero glared at Elysia as if he was asking for an explanation. He believed this magic seal was her doing.
“I’ve told you before. This is the Earth God’s precaution against foreign entities like us. Our magic can upset the balance of the world here, so it seals our strength while in his world. Please don’t protest as we are only here for a short time.” Elysia checked her left forearm and revealed the same magic seal.
“I don’t feel at ease then. I can’t allow myself to be weakened and put myself in a dangerous situation. How do I remove this seal?” Xero once again tried to break the seal on his left leg, but it was a futile attempt.
“You can cultivate with this world resource if you are worried about it. However, your phisique itself is much stronger than the majority of living beings in this world. Please bear with it for a day or two.” Elysia gave a small pouch of spirit stones to Xero.
“Fine, I’ll hold back and pretend to be a regular for a day or two. But there’s no third day.” Xero received that small pouch to check its contents. To his surprise, it contains grains of various colors.
“What does this mean? You’re treating me like a bird now?” Xero felt humiliated.
“Hm? What do you mean, Heretic God? They are spirit stones, or perhaps spirit seeds. They are a precious resource in this world for cultivation.” Elysia tilted her head slightly.
“Stop being such an ungrateful jerk, Tic. Ely has been so nice to you.” Sylvia sneered with an annoyed look.
“What, what did you say!? Who is Tic!?” Xero widened his eyes as if he couldn’t believe that a little devil girl dared to mock him.
“Are you stupid? That’s your new title that you agreed to a while ago, Heretic God, or Tic for your nickname. We can’t possibly address you as God here, can we?” Sylvia crouched down and smirked.
They were now at the same level and situation where everyone’s magic was sealed. She could take revenge on this Heretic God because of what happened on the Devil Continent.
“Do you want to fight? My magic is sealed, but I am still a God-level being in the body of a strong demonic bird.” Xero put up a stance to fight. However, he only has a pair of wings, not hands. So, his pose was a bit weird.
“Stop, you two. Don’t fight.” Elysia separated Xero, and Sylvia was standing between them. She then looked at the surroundings. The room was quite dark and looked like an abandoned warehouse.
“One more thing, please don’t carelessly speak because our language is foreign to everyone on Earth, and you’re a bird now. Anyway, where are we now?” Sylvia reminded one other thing and looked to the right and left.
“Wait, where did your master go, Elysia?” Xero was more concerned with the one presence that suddenly disappeared from there. He just realized it.
“My master is in her Private Realm.” Elysia responded flatly. Yet, she was instantly shocked when she realized Erina was behind her barrier. “E-eh?”
Erina was lying on the floor with her body tied up, and her mouth was gagged. It was as if she was being held captive. It was probably a kidnapping or something similar.
