Chapter 982 Do You Miss Me?
Chapter 982 Do You Miss Me?
Arriving at Dylan's palace, Elysia gave a gift to the Devil Emperor with extra from Sylvia's soothing words.
"Well, I will accept this." Dylan put the gift box from Elysia into his Space Bag. He had already taken a quick look at the contents; they were all precious materials. However, what really interested him was not only the blueprints and various interesting written ideas.
"Yay, good! But, why did you immediately hide the gift from Ely? I also want to see the contents~" Sylvia pulled her father's arm.
"Be a good girl. That is something interesting. That's all." Dylan cleared his throat and immediately changed the subject. "The spaceship's cannons are ready to go. It's at our advanced weapons manufacturer. Would you like to check it out now?"
"We saw them before coming here, and everything is already under the Heretic God's protective spells. We'll take them in tomorrow morning. Thank you for your hard work, Devil Emperor Dylan." Lifa shook her head once, then appreciated the devils' hard work.
"I'm flattered, but it's all for our benefit. Nobody wants to see another doomsday in this era." Dylan sighed and held his forehead.
He hadn't had much rest in the past few days. He also knew thousands of devils were almost dying of exhaustion because they had to finish off the spaceship's cannons as soon as possible.
"Indeed, we can only do our best to protect our world. I hope you can use your deity-slaying weapon wisely. Each and everyone also gets their own gift." Lifa closed her eyes and smiled faintly.
"..." Dylan went silent as he contemplated something. He could guess that each race also obtained a divine gift, such as a weapon that could challenge Gods.
"Hum-mm, there are only twenty-two sealed areas left. After dealing with all of them, we only need to worry about what lies on the moon." Nell counted the markers on her golden talisman.
"Phew, that's quite a lot, but it can be handled by each force of each race. Everything will be fine as long as everyone works together to protect their homeland." Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief. That might sound like a lot, but the burdens and threats were divided equally among the eight races.
"..." Elysia remembered her homeland, Earth. She was not worried about her previous family since they already lived well with what she left as Ali.
What concerned her the most was the ambition of the higher-ups. They planned to invade the Underworld. Also, Erina's only friend on Earth suddenly came to mind. It had been a week since she last contacted Erina, and she missed that strong-willed golden diva.
"Please have a good rest. We will be leaving tomorrow morning, and I hope you won't be inconvenienced if we stay the night here." Rhea made a kind suggestion.
"I will order my people to prepare rooms for all of you." Dylan took out his Swype and typed something.
"No need, father. My bedroom is enough to accommodate everyone. Anyway, good night!" Sylvia put down her father's hand before she walked away with Elysia and the others.
"Oh?" Dylan was momentarily stunned. He was curious if the bedroom could accommodate all these girls unless they would sleep like cats in each other's arms. But he had something to tell right away. "Wait, there is one thing I must tell you."
"Hmm? And what is that?" Nell looked back, and everyone stopped before the exit.
"I presume you already know about the incident details in Underworld, the other realm inside Devil Continent. Heretic God slayed the several Demon Kings because of their conspiracy and cooperation with the Ruvoid Avatars. He only spared two neutral Demon Kings. I need to keep my promise to convey their request to you. They want to meet you." Dylan grasped his hand behind his back.
"Hmm, they might want to make a deal to protect themselves from the Heretic God? Or, they want to prove their innocence? Alright, tell them to meet us here at dawn." Lifa gave her consent.
After that, everyone left Dylan's study room.
"..." Dylan waited a few minutes to ensure everyone was gone. He confirmed he was alone and immediately locked the room with a dark magic seal.
He then took out the gift box that Elysia had given him before scanning every detail of each item inside. That night, the laughter of a Devil Emperor resounded loudly. Luckily, that room was sealed and soundproof.
"Ely, please come here." Lifa sat on the bed and patted the place next to her.
"Hmm?" Elysia tilted her head slightly, then went to approach Lifa.
"!?" Elysia was surprised when Lifa gently made her lie down for a lap pillow.<.com>
"You have been working hard recently, and there have been many unexpected events that you have encountered. However, we haven't heard what you have in mind. Can you grace this old lady to hear your words of wisdom?" Lifa stroked Elysia's head and ran her fingers through Elysia's long hair.
Upon closer look, Elysia's hair had turned black with a dark purple hue, not pure obsidian black like Ai's.
"You are the wisest one with countless experiences in life, my lady. What might you expect from a girl who is still a corn-bud?" Elysia smiled and looked at Lifa's motherly face.
"Fufu, I just wanted to talk to you. Hmm, this transparent halo is indeed a bit unique. Even I can't touch it." Lifa tried to hold the four-pointed star halo above Elysia's head. She could feel it was there, but her hand passed right through it like an illusion.
"When it materializes, I also can't touch it. Only the mini gem can I touch while materializing. Don't you know anything about this divine artifact, Lady Tifa?" Elysia glanced up. She was curious about this rainbow aurora halo.
"Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything after searching through various information in the divine libraries of the Nature Realm. If we consider the incident you mentioned, then the extreme north was created after the decisive battle hundreds of thousands of years ago. Divine beings are still sealed in a deep sleep, and no one knows about the arrival of that Primo Star, let alone its origin." Lifa shook her head.
"I see..." Elysia closed her eyes and let Lifa caress her. At the same time, she tries to check Erina's situation on Earth using the marker she left on Erina's spirit. However, she ensured the other party would wait to notice her.
? "A halo?" Sylvia looked at the other girls and then at something above Elysia's head. She couldn't see it, no matter how many times she tried. Perhaps, only the divine could see that.
"Sshh..." Lifa pressed her lips with her forefinger so the girls would tone down their voices. Elysia was currently focusing on examining another world.
It was almost midnight at Elysia's location but still early at night at Erina's.
Erina was alone in her bedroom, looking up at the starry night sky with a longing gaze. The glitz of gold and jewels glistened in every corner of the room. Everywhere was giving off the impression of the ultra-affluence of the wealthy.
Unfortunately, the golden diva who caused it actually looked sad and frustrated. She still couldn't control her power, and her situation worsened daily. Her ability became more violent, making it even more challenging to bring her own power under control.
It had already been a week since she heard Elysia's voice in her mind, and it had been ten days since Mio could only meet her at a safe distance. It was lonely, but her current situation could turn anyone and anything into gold with just a touch.
"It's my choice, but why is my path so difficult? Or, am I just lacking in effort? I couldn't even defeat my inner demon at that time. Elllie, if you were in my shoes, what would you do?" Erina looked down at her hands and sighed. She then intended to return to seclusion in her meditation chamber.
Yet, she suddenly felt a warm feeling in her chest. She immediately turned around and widened her eyes when she found who was standing three steps behind her.
"Hi~ Do you miss me?" Elysia waved her hand with a compassionate smile..com
"E-Ellie?" Erina rubbed her eyes and looked at Elysia again. She made sure she wasn't mistaken, and it wasn't an illusion either.
"Hum-mm~ You look troubled and troubled. How about this elder sister of yours give a little helping hand?" Elysia held out her hand.
Erina responded by coming closer and embracing Elysia. She knew only Elysia could nullify her power without worrying about anything.
"Oh my, what happened to our golden diva? Where has the ambitious girl who said she wants to reach the top go?" Elysia's gaze became tender and stroked Erina's head. She didn't know what was going on, but she could tell Erina was under a lot of stress.
Erina was craving warmth and someone's company now, and Elysia's arrival hit her needs right on the spot. Elysia's body scent was so lovely and calming. It could soothe her mind and soul in just a few sniffs.
After a few moments of silence, Erina finally released Elysia from his embrace.
"Sorry for suddenly hugging you, Ellie. I just felt like I needed some support. Anyway, I am glad you visited me. Are your business in the other world over?" Erina asked somewhat excitedly. If that world's affairs were over, then Elysia could accompany her.
"Hehe, it's not over yet, but it doesn't matter. I came to see what my friend was doing. Come here, we have lots of things to catch up~" Elysia held Erina's hand and went to bed.
They sat next to each other and exchanged stories about what had happened recently.
