Chapter 777: The Captured Deity
Chapter 777: The Captured Deity
‘What? You are actually a group of dozen plus two calamity beasts. You lied to me, Elysia?’ Earth Mother suddenly asked with a hint of surprise.
‘No, I’m not lying. We did come with four people, including me. However, they are my group and don’t come with us initially. I invite them to come.’ Elysia answered innocently.
‘Ugh, all right… You will later be fully responsible for the world’s law and order imbalance. You will have to repair it later.’ Earth Mother sighed and returned to her business.
Hearing no further response, Elysia simply shrugged her shoulders and closed the Nature Realm’s portal. The girls were exploring the room, curious about new things.
“Hey, I recognize this big, thin thing. This is what Earthlings call TV.” Sylvia pointed to a large TV mounted on the wall.
“Oh~ It’s just like a normal monitor. What can it do, to begin with?” Evelyn scanned the black monitor up and down, but she couldn’t find anything special.
“Hmm, I’m sure it could show a lot of stuff. Let’s see… Maybe like a record, stories, and news around the world.” Sylvia wasn’t so sure, but she still explained confidently.
“Everyone, please come here. There are some things we need to tell and discuss with you before anything else. Earth is not in a good situation right now, and we must do something as soon as possible. Ruvoid God has made his move, and his grand scheme has begun.” Elysia invited everyone to sit on the living room sofa.
“!?” Hearing Elysia’s statement, everyone was shocked and immediately went to the living room for a meeting.
The Goddesses sat next to each other and invited Elysia to be the spokesperson. Elysia explained Earth’s current situation to her group and continued with their future action plans.
“Ely, you said we will save this world too? I don’t mind helping you, but-” Ai intertwined her fingers and put her chin there. She closed her eyes for a moment between her words.
“But?” Elysia tilted her head slightly.
“But it’s still the punishment the Earthlings get after their own actions. You want to help them just because you want to, right? Please remember, we can’t save everyone. We just need to make sure about our group’s well-being.” Ai looked at Elysia and heaved a subtle sigh.
Their future plan sounded a little troublesome, but Elysia had specified everything on the Goddesses’ behalf and asked everyone for help. Therefore, she could not refuse it.
“Mm, you’re right, Ai. We can’t save everyone, but at least I should do something for my homeworld.” Elysia nodded. Elena had already said that to her, and she was no longer struggling with that benevolent thought. She would help the Earthlings because she wanted to help them, not the responsibility to help them.
“Okay, I have no objections if that’s your wish, Ely. Let’s save the world. Hmm, what do you think? We will punish the bad humans.” Ai glanced at Evelyn. She wanted to know what this girl was thinking.
“W-what do you mean? I don’t want to defend the evil person even though they are human. The bad is still bad. The innocent should not receive punishment just because the bad is among them.” Evelyn raised her fist.
“So, we’re going to hunt about a thousand bad humans and about sixty-three selfish deities? But deities? Why don’t we call them Gods? Anyway, we’re going to hunt Gods, right? This will be fun!” Sylvia was excited to join this hunting game.
“Yeah, but we’re going to avoid bloodshed as much as possible. It’s only going to make an already chaotic situation worse.” Elena folded her arms.
“…” There was a glint in Ai’s eyes. She grinned faintly but hid it well.
“Hmm, we’ll start the hunt in three days, I mean two days from now. In the meantime, what are we going to do? Build a company to mass-produce the antidote to that virus?” Lifa raised her hand to ask.
“My master and I plan to cooperate with the Alchemy Association and the Minamoto Clan. They will work on everything, and the troublesome things will also be taken care of by them.” Elysia had already discussed this with Elena, and it was their best solution.
“Well, we have to hunt around a thousand people among over eight billion people… Really, why is this world only filled with humans. There are so many of them. We need absolutely accurate navigation for that, or we will take a long time to complete the task.” Lynn looked at a map on the table. There was some data near it, but it was still a bit difficult to believe.
“Well, can we call that overpopulation? Their numbers keep growing since they are this world’s apex predator. We will have a guide, and we have four Goddesses here. Everything is fine.” Sylvia shrugged her shoulders.
“…” Elysia didn’t know what to say. Not everyone in her group was human, after all.
*Knock* *Knock*
The knock on the door made almost everyone in the living room feel surprised. There was a soundproof barrier to protect their privacy, but the knocking on the door could still be heard clearly.
“Let me open the door.” Vanessa stood up and preceded her master.
“Okay.” Elysia swung her hand and revoked the soundproof barrier.
*Swoosh*
A gentle breeze entered the room and materialized its form on Elysia’s palm. An almost transparent wind slime formed and greeted. “I am Sky Spirit, the most knowledgeable nature spirit of the sky. I was sent to represent nature spirits in your noble task. Oh, I am not the same Sky Spirit as the one you met before. I am its senior.”
“…” Xero entered the room with a large trash sack on his back. He put it in the corner of the room and patted it once. Surprisingly, the trash sack twitched slightly.
“Hm?” Vanessa was curious about that big sack, but she just closed the door and returned to her seat.
“Hi~ It’s a pleasure to meet you. So, you came to guide Tic here? Err, do you have a name?” Elysia glanced at Xero briefly and returned her attention to the wind slime.
“We nature spirits don’t need names. But, Tic? Is that the name of that vile boy? I guided him here so he wouldn’t cause any more trouble. Did you know? He just mutilated a deity!” The Sky Spirit protruded a tiny hand to point at the white-haired boy.
“What do you mean by saying that, a bunch of stinky farts? I only snatched his scythes after defeating him. Since you don’t have a name and are so noisy, let’s call you Fart.” Xero frowned and took out a pair of green scythes to prove his claim.
“F-Fart!? Do you want to challenge me, stinky boy?” The Sky Spirit was offended.
“Hou~ Come here and fight me. This isn’t the first time I’ve taught elemental creatures like you a valuable life lesson.” Xero replied with an arrogant, defiant hand gesture.
“Even if you are strong, you will still die if I forbid oxygen to be around you. Let’s see how a God from another world turns blue from being unable to breathe.” The Sky Spirit was just about to implement that cruel thing to teach this otherworldly God a lesson. Since this presumptuous boy was not from this world, there was no consequence if this boy died.
Elysia clasped her hands together and brought the Sky Spirt closer to her face. “Please forgive him. He probably just had a bad day and is feeling a bit upset. Did you just pestered him with some stuff?”
“Yeah, that vile boy is so annoying, unfriendly, evil, vile, and hateful! Why does he get to team up with you angels and goddesses? He looks more like a vicious demon.” The Sky Spirit jumped up and down in annoyance.
“I see… He was a Devil God, though?” Elysia smiled slightly.
“Devil God? No wonder… Hmph, I don’t want to waste my time and energy dealing with you. No spirit is willing to get close to you, vile boy. You deserve to be with evil spirits.” The Sky Spirit cursed the vile boy.
“Ah, well, you’re quite noisy and getting bolder, Fart. Evil spirits can make good subordinates if you know how to use them well.” Xero rolled his eyes and went to sit down on the empty sofa. “Oh, yes. I caught the Reaper God alive. You can use him as an experimental grasshopper if you want. I haven’t taken his chess piece either.”
“Grasshopper?” Elysia asked in wonder, but she gasped slightly as she checked what was inside the big garbage bag.
It was a giant mantis reaper, but without its reaper scythes. However, that giant mantis was currently tied with a rope bondage technique, which was a bit strange to see.
“No wonder why he is called Reaper God. Ely, come here. Let’s chat with this mantis before eliminating him from the God Game.” Elena erected the barrier around the room and approached the large trash sack in the corner of the room.
“Nee, are you going to kill that deity? I suggest you don’t do that because you will only be staining your pure soul. All deities have their own divine law, which will only negatively affect whoever exterminates them. Only the corrupted can do that without fear of curses, side effects and backlash since they’re already wrecked up.” The Sky Spirit reminded everyone about a piece of good advice.
“We won’t kill for no reason. That’s our intention. As long as he cooperates, then everything will be fine.” Elysia stroked the SKy Spirit and put it on her head. She immediately helped Elena to get the Reaper God out of the sack.
