Chapter 395: Confrontation (2)

Elysia made the Energy Core float beside her then deactivated her magic shield from it. Then, she checked that Energy Core's status screen to make sure.

"Well then, I think this is what I was looking for." Elysia nodded slightly

"What? How? How did you find that!? That's my possession. Give it back to me!" Ernest immediately became irritated to see that his valuable item had been taken away.

"Wait, what did you say? This is yours? Don't spout that kind of nonsense. This Energy Core never belonged to your clan in the first place. Let's return this to the rightful one of it." Elysia scoffed and stored the red Energy Core into her Space Storage after telepathically requesting Vanessa.

"You! That-" Ernest started babbling some nonsense about the red crystal ball actually being a victory token after the war or something.

Unfortunately, Elysia didn't pay more attention to it. She just turned to Vanessa. "So what do you want to do with these fire lions, Vann? Or, what kind of divine punishment do you think they deserve? Say your wish, and it shall be done by my will."

Hearing that, Vanessa gulped her saliva with a bit of nervousness. Even though she was prepared and thought about this, it was completely different when it actually happened.

Leila flew closer to Vanessa with a bit of anxiety. She glanced at the six-winged divine being once with a pitiful expression, then spoke to her niece. "Are you hoping to kill Ernest and his clan, Little Vanessa? If so, please reconsider your decision."

"Huh? But, why?" Vanessa was astonished at her aunt's suggestion.

Her aunt had been imprisoned and tortured. Not to mention, their clan had been oppressed for so long and declined after her father was murdered. But, her aunt actually defended those fire lions?

"That's because all of this will only lead to destruction and chaos. Our once victorious clan has long been the slave of those fire lions. Suppose the Pyrogressive Lion Clan collapses because of all this. In that case, no Beast Emperor can replace the one who can reign over this region.

I know you have a deep hatred for those fire lions, but please reconsider your revenge. It also involves tens to hundreds of thousands of other beasts." Leila tried to convince Vanessa because it seemed like the six-winged divine being left the decision to Vanessa.

"So you're saying that my father's death and that bullshit coup d'etat they spoke of can be forgiven just like that?" Vanessa frowned in dissatisfaction.

"No, that's not what I wanted to convey. In short, whatever it is, as long as this revenge doesn't lead to destruction and chaos. I'm sure your father and mother didn't expect that either. Your uncle and I are by your side. Please understand this." Leila immediately waved her paw in front of her face before Vanessa misunderstood her words.

Unfortunately, everyone fell silent and looked up at the sky at the sudden change.

"Gimme a break... What a pain... So, what's with this commotion?"

A majestic, booming, heavy voice rang out from the golden sky. It was followed by the sky changing color from gold to reddish black from the west.

As the sky split into two, golden and reddish black, a huge reddish-black lion descended from behind the clouds.

Beast God arrived! Every flap of his wings caused a slight windstorm, and the temperature rose nearly thirty degrees celsius just because of his arrival.

His fiery red eyes stared at the six-winged Goddess, then glanced at a spot with some confusion. He felt that someone was observing all these events in invisibility. Then, he glared at the fire lions, who were actually his descendants as well. "You unfilial lions, what have you done to offend another divine being? Are you strong enough to receive divine wrath, huh?"

"Greetings to the Beast God, all praise to you! Please allow me to speak. We have done nothing to other divine beings. Truth be told, that six-winged Goddess came because the winged tiger was over there! That winged tiger cunningly asks that six-winged divine being for help to seek revenge." Ernest knelt in the air, and all of his clan members followed suit. He quickly explained that his clan was innocent.

"Is that so? Sigh... Your foolishness eleven years ago led to this incident. Karma and vengeance come to you. What do you expect now?" The Beast God sighed, and a fiery hot breath escaped his mouth.

Then, he turned his attention to the six-winged Goddess. "You are a divine being that I have never seen before. Are you the newly ascended Goddess? Whoever you are, and no matter what happens, I don't understand why you are willing to go this far just for the winged tiger's request for revenge."

"What's wrong with that? You need to tell yourself that, obese lion. It was you who got involved in mortal affairs eleven years ago." Elysia used a bit of Elena's trick to make fun of the other person. Elena gave a thumbs up for that.

"O-obese, you say? Just so you know, it's not fat, but my amazing muscles." The Beast God pinched his big belly and patted it.

"That's so fleshy and bloated, though? It seems you lived so leisurely and prosperously that you became obese, Beast God Regulus. You're big and fat. Change my mind." Elysia folded her arms under her breasts while sneering.

"Don't say my name out loud. I don't like that. You just need to call me Beast God." Regulus was no longer trying to convince his interlocutor that he wasn't fat.

Then, he shifted his focus to the current problem. "You caused chaos in this forest city to help the three winged-tigers take revenge on my distant descendant clan? So, what do you want to do? This is my continent, and I don't allow you to do anything you want, unknown Goddess."

"If I so desire, what can you do to stop me? Are you so confident to make me submit and obey your request, obese lion?" Elysia pointed her palm at the Beast God with an arrogant expression.

"I am one of the few Gods from the ancient era who survived the apocalypse and the calamity of the world. You are just a newly ascended Goddess. How arrogant of you toward your predecessor. Only defeat will come to you if you try to oppose me. However, before that, what do you want to do to my distant descendants?" Regulus returned arrogance with another arrogance as if he didn't want to lose.

"What do I want to do with them, hmm?" Elysia patted her cheek and glanced at Vanessa, then at the fire lions.

As if frozen in nervousness, Vanessa couldn't speak any further, while the fire lions just smirked at her because the Beast God had come to their aid.

"Oh well... Now tell me, obese lion God, what are you going to do to an evil clan that has slaughtered most of your clan members and also killed your loved ones?" Elysia decided to reverse the question at Elena's suggestion.

"Worse than death shall befall to anyone who dares to hurt my loved ones." Regulus answered with tension and fury. He thought this six-winged Goddess would involve his family in Scarheim Tops.

"Is that it? Then, why are you asking me that nonsense? Your distant descendant clan has already massacred my companion's father and most of her clan. Looking at the Winged Tiger Clan now, they are just watching as if they don't want to get involved." Elysia shrugged her shoulders and gave a disdainful look. She also pointed to a group of winged tigers who were just watching from below.

Regulus's rage almost exploded when he received a gaze that indicated that he was an idiot. But, he didn't have a chance to talk because the new tension was about to begin.

Elysia spread her arms and spoke in an authoritative tone. "Well then, what do you expect will happen next, hmm?"

"You are so ignorant because you are only a young Goddess. If that is your will, then I need to teach you to honor your predecessors. My fire will burn your light, come to me and show your might. Roar!" Regulus replied by giving a hook grip gesture with his claws and roared majestically to show blackish-red flames to everyone.

'As I thought, this Beast God and his clan just like to treat others as they please. We will be the law of karma for them. Ely, please throw him down and disgrace him. He deserves to be humiliated in front of all his followers.' Elena muttered in annoyance just because of the obese lion God's unreasonable attitude.

'With pleasure~' Elysia smiled gently and raised her hand high.

"Let's prove the truth. Which one is stronger between my divine light or your black-red flame. Divine punishment, come by my will, Fallen Down!" After saying that, Elysia swung her hand downward.

At the same time, there appeared a tremendous elemental pressure of golden light right at the separation between the golden clouds and the blackish-red clouds. Like a divine punishment handed down by the heavens, a waterfall of golden light crashed down onto the Beast God.

*Clash*

Regulus immediately fought back with his divine flames and protective magic. Still, it was too sudden and far exceeded his expectations. His fire was extinguished, and he fell to the ground miserably.

It didn't stop there. The extent of the destruction stretched to several hundred meters to destroy a part of the forest city. The Beast God could only be there to fight back against the devastating, overwhelming elemental pressure.
