Chapter 405: A Wish to be Granted

"What do you mean by that?" Ernest did not immediately understand. He didn't even know anything about it.

"It's nothing. You'll know it sooner or later from your ancestor. Now say goodbye to your little brother, Ernest yo." Zach was indifferent to respond. He immediately carried out his goal there, namely making the one who killed him a genderless lion.

"No, no, wait-" Ernest tried to compromise, but it was too late.

"Quickly stop that tiger cub!" One of the elders from the Pyrogressive Lion Clan exclaimed with urgency. Unfortunately, they were also unable to come to save their lord from that predicament.

*Slash*

Zach used his fire blade magic to cut and scorch his enemy's sticks and balls.

"Arrgh!!! I'll kill you, Zach!" Ernest screamed in pain. He felt as if his life had been cut in half and torn into small pieces.

"You can't do that because I'm already dead. If you're tired of living, please die immediately and meet me in the realm of death. I'll take you around in that realm, hahaha! Don't thank me." Zach is incredibly content to castrate his enemies.

He knew it was the greatest insult and punishment to his killer. It was the end of the foolish yet ambitious gene of the Fire Lion Emperor.

As Ernest continued to deliver many curse words, Zach casually invited Gio and Vanessa to leave from there to return to the side of the Goddesses.

The fire lions and hundreds of beasts immediately approached Ernest. They simply ignored the evildoer simply because the colossal earth dragon was still there.

And again, one thing they needed to do immediately was to help their lord and young master.

"You tell your daughter to overdo it, even though you can do it yourself in the end. What a terrible father. If Vann becomes a bad girl, I shall bring you back to life just to kill you again. Don't expect you to be able to reincarnate then. Remember my words." Elysia was slightly dissatisfied and conveyed that.

She had no idea about Zach's plan. Still, the thing that made her dissatisfied the most was because Zach had told Vanessa to castrate the fire lion earlier.

Zach broke out in cold sweat, and the hairs on his neck stood up on their own. Even though it was just a feeling, it really came into his soul. The Almighty Goddess is not satisfied with that because he asked his daughter for the punishment earlier?

'Oh, stupid me! I should have just castrated that crown prince with my own claws instead. I should not sully my daughter innocence with such unclean things. After all, my daughter is already the property of the Almighty Goddess.' Zach patted his forehead while introspecting about his mistakes.

Therefore, he drew near to the Almighty Goddess and knelt there to ask for forgiveness. "Please forgive my stupidity and ignorance. I understand your point and allow me to atone for my sins and mistakes. I can guarantee you that my daughter is a good girl, your loyal, faithful servant."

"Mm, fine. I accept your apology." Elysia didn't complicate things for Zach. She then announced the battle outcome. "The revenge battle is over, and the winner is the Winged Tiger Team! As the winner, the Winged Tiger Team has the right to request for a wish to be granted, terms and conditions apply."

"Wait a second! It's not a team of winged tigers because there is a colossal earth dragon to help. Also, isn't it too cruel to have three participants crippled and two castrated!?"

"An unforgivable sin!"

"Yeah, this is a great offense! O Beast God, almighty father, please do justice to us!"

The fire lions began to express their complaints one by one. They were begging for help and justice from their ancestor. Some of them were simply helping their lord out of the rock-hard yet cold ground.

"You said that when Pyrogressive Lion Team was going to do the same to the Winged Tiger Team. There is no prohibition that says you cannot involve other species in your team of four. Only one rule, no killing. Also, this is a revenge battle for what your clan did eleven years ago. If you have any complaints or dissatisfaction, please come here and tell us. We would like to know more details." Rhea retorted as she knew the Beast God would not defend those stupid lions anymore.

Hearing the divine being speak, the fire lions immediately shut their mouths. Even if that wasn't said, they knew that there would only be bad news for them if they dared to approach and raise their grievances.

Moreover, the Beast God just stood there casually as if nothing was wrong. If their ancestor was simply silent, then it was clear that they couldn't ask for help.

For that reason, the fire lions simply swallowed back what they were about to say and immediately rescued the four injured lions. Emergency treatment must be carried out as soon as possible in the hope of full recovery.

Ernest, Leigh, and the other two fire lions were immediately brought back to the forest city. Hundreds of imperial warriors also followed.

As the tension subsided and the beasts started leaving the vicinity, Regulus opened his mouth with a sigh. "Huff, I think it's over. Our meeting this time, after a long time of not seeing each other, is really not good. If you will, allow me to host you in my private mountains, Scarheim Tops."

"Huh? The last time we met, you were so unkind to me. Why are you now suddenly super duper docile?" Nell raised her eyebrows and conveyed her complaint.

"Err, let's just say I was not unstable at the time. Let's make peace and allow me to make amends for my mistakes." Regulus looked to the side. To be honest, he tried to invite these Goddesses only because he was so curious about this mysterious Golden Goddess.

At that moment, Rhea shook her head while grabbing Elysia's arm. 'Master Elysia, allow me to decide this. I don't see the goodwill of this Beast God because of the situation just now. Besides, our arrival to the Beast Continent was originally only because we wanted to know about the Beast God's preparations to deal with those accursed monsters, right?'

'En, I don't mind, Rhea. If you think we need to turn down Regulus's invitation, then that's what we'll do.' Elysia didn't mind accepting Rhea's request at all. She didn't even need to hear many excuses for that.

'Ah, thank you, Master Elysia. To be honest, I could see that the Beast God was already prepared for that inevitable day. So, we can rest easy with the situation on the Beast Continent.' Rhea gave a bit of reason, but Elysia just nodded and left the rest to her as if she had already earned something called trust.

"My apologies, but we were unable to come to visit your nest mountains. The purpose of our arrival on this continent was actually just to ensure your preparation for that inevitable day, but it seems that you are prepared and know a lot of things. With that, our goal has been accomplished. It's time for us to go." Rhea refused Regulus's invitation with an excuse.

"Is that so? I know a lot about those damned monsters, you know? Don't you really want to visit for that?" Regulus didn't understand why his invitation was turned down.

"Mm, we also know a lot about them, including their current abilities and situation. We already have plans to do after this. Before and after, see you next time. Hopefully, our next meeting won't be this bad." Rhea raised her hand slightly and gave a light wave. After that, she turned around and led her small group away.

Elysia only used the invisible magic, and her little group disappeared from Regulus's sight instantly. The colossal earth dragon was also included.

Watching the Goddesses leave, Regulus sighed and looked once more at the last place he saw the figure of the Goddesses. After that, he flapped his wings and sped away from there.

One kilometer directly above Brisline Woodland, Elysia and her little group were floating on Nell's magic carpet under invisibility. Jimmy was dancing happily beside Zach, and Vanessa just watched the two little tigers with a smile on her face. Meanwhile, Gio had returned to his tiny form.

"Okay, Vann, your team has won, you have the right to ask one thing of me. Please think about this carefully, because you know the situation and the conditions." Elysia brought up the topic of what she promised. She had already predicted that Vanessa would win after all.

Hearing that, Jimmy and Zach froze for a moment, then they immediately turned to Vanessa. They wanted to know what Vanessa would ask for.

Unfortunately, Vanessa gave a respectful bow instead of expressing a wish to be granted. "Thank you very much for your help and presence, master. I am well aware of the terms and conditions you are referring to. I also understand why you are promising this. But, with all due respect, please grant me this one wish of mine."

"Mm, if you understand, say your wish." Elysia has no objection to it as long as it is still within her rules, norms, and principles.

Vanessa turned around after thanking her master once again. She looked at her father, brother, uncle, and aunt. "Please forgive my selfishness for this, but I think this is the most necessary thing to come true considering what has just happened. Please allow me to state the wish of mine."
