What Elysia said was in stark contrast to her expression. Still, it gave an implicit impression emphasizing that it was a small test that might split the group.
Everyone was surprised by the question, and they had no idea why it was asked. However, a few girls had already volunteered to express their agreement without a second thought.
"Grandmaster Lina, I dread to imagine the reason behind your question. However, I will follow you and Master Elysia to the end of my life and time no matter the reason." Vanessa raised her hand without hesitation.
"Mm, I will gladly come with you. I know you will not abandon us. I can't just let Master Ely go on a dangerous mission with you." Yuuki put his hand to his chest while glancing at Elysia and the Goddess of Light.
"Lina! Are you planning to carry out a suicide operation to the moon!? I won't allow it! There must be a way. You won't be stupid-" Nell sighed, but her lips were sealed by a dainty finger.
"Sshh... I'm not stupid or careless. However, what's your answer?" Elysia looked Nell in the eye.
"Ugh, you are so dummy. There will always be at least two Goddesses who will follow you to the end." Nell sighed.
"Did it go against your will and wish? We can free you from the bonds." Elysia wore an expression that barely showed her feelings.
"Not really. My big sister will always be with you, and I will also be there." Nell shook her head. "However, you're not really going to carry out a suicide operation, are you? Why do you ask like that?"
"That's because it seems like it. We can't just share our past with other people. I presume you already know about the future prediction that Fortuna, Lynn, and Luna did. What if it's true? The three Gods that survived were the Sea God, Heretic God, and Beast God, right?" Elysia smiled faintly and shook her head.
She did intend to sort out the group members here. That way, only those who sincerely follow her to the end of time will remain in the group. She couldn't involve those who didn't want to get involved in the deadly space battle on the moon.
"That makes me sad to hear. If my life is the price it takes to know all about you, then I'm willing to pay a heavy price for it, Ely." Evelyn looked Elysia right in the eye.
"!?" Elysia and Elena were surprised, but they didn't express it on their faces.
It made sense for Rhea, Nell, Vanessa, and Yuuki since they had an inseparable spirit connection with Elysia. However, Evelyn was different.
"Why would you go that far, Eve? You are a royal princess of an empire. You have a bright and long future ahead. You also have responsibilities to your family. There will also come a day when you will meet your prince." Elena heaved a subtle sigh. She felt that Elysia's first friend in this world could no longer live without Elysia's presence?
"I know this is strange, but I've had this feeling since a few weeks ago. You will leave and never come back. If I back down and let you go, I will regret it. I want to reach out to you and be closer. The future will mean nothing if you are not there. I have already discussed this with my family. I will become the Goddess's servant, and they bless me." Evelyn muttered eloquently, even though her intonation was a little emotional.
"Ely, you can blast a planet. How about we eliminate the entire month before the real threats arise? Hum, whatever it is, I will still come with you. Lina doesn't have crazy ideas and drags you along with her?" Ai hugged 'Elysia' from behind and then glanced at the Golden Goddess.
"That will only break the seal. The last two Ruvoid Gods were so powerful. Let's assume they are at least on the same level as Sera's. Also, there are still limitations. I can only use two super destructive magic in one battle." Elena shook her head.
"I don't think they are as strong as Sera. That monster is an exception. But, well... you can only use two Supernovas at a time..." Ai sighed. She had almost forgotten that her little sister could also be exhausted.
"Fufu, let me join the crazy idea you have in mind. It would be painful if I lost my daughters here. So, I need to supervise your plans and reduce the risk as much as I can." Lifa came closer to Elysia and Elena. Her hunch said these girls were currently swapping forms and roles, but she almost couldn't tell the difference.
"Xentia too!" Xentia did not understand what was being said, but she would gladly follow the Goddesses everywhere they went.
"Hm, they want to do something crazy and want to test our decision here. How about you, Luna, Lynn, Fortuna, Ella? Gio and Cherub will definitely come along." Sylvia rested her cheek against her hand and glanced at the girls around her.
"Lynn, I will step down from the throne and you will succeed me as Empress." Luna straightened her back and put her hands on her lap. She spoke in a soft yet authoritative tone.
"Mother, you can't! I don't want that! I don't want to be left behind, knowing you'll never get back with the others! Doesn't mean no! I've given my oath to the Goddess of Light. Goddess Lina has accepted me!" Lynn immediately grabbed her mother's arm. She would never let her mother go without her.
"Oh my, you have progressed that far without me knowing it, Lynn? Fufu, you are being greedy here. If the two of us leave and never return, then who will be in charge of our land?" Luna was pleasantly surprised and covered her mouth.
"My life belongs to the Goddess of Blessings. If she is going to participate at the cost of my life, then I will do it without hesitation. However, I hope to leave a legacy for Ariel. I can't let she die in three years because of me." Ella muttered without hesitation.
"Uhm, this is a bit complicated..." Fortuna muttered under her breath. She needed more affinities to make herself put her life at stake. Yet, she pondered for a moment as she stared at the Goddess Lina.
She adored the Goddess of Light in many aspects. Whether it was Lina's beauty, splendor, elegance, and strength. It didn't take a genius to realize that everyone would exclude her if she retreated here. Perhaps Elysia would send her back to Earth immediately.
She came here primarily because of her own wish. She wanted to see the other world and wished to witness the mysterious destiny path that awaited Elysia and Lina. These two girls piqued her curiosity so much.
After considering several things in mind, Fortuna immediately drew a conclusion. She was immortal, and she always had a way of avoiding the actual death when push came to shove. "Fine, let's do it. I'm willing to die with you if it's necessary."
"..." Theo and Leila looked at each other. They shook their heads because it seemed like it was time for them to retreat. "My apologies, but we can't go any further than this. We will assist and carry out your orders, but we still have some responsibilities to fulfill."
"Uncle, aunt..." Vanessa gasped. She didn't expect her uncle and aunt to back down, but she couldn't force them either.
"You have a long future with your master, Little Vann. I'm sure Goddess Lina doesn't want all of you to die with her. She just wants to know your response and sincerity." Leila conveyed her understanding with a smile.
"..." Vanessa didn't answer, but she came closer to her uncle and aunt. She gave them a big hug and spoke her heart out.
A few minutes later, Theo and Leila decided to excuse themselves. They would wait in the next room to check on Ariel and Steph.
'Ely, look at the short question you asked. The impact is huge.' Elena muttered via spirit telepathy.
'That shows your figure's impact, my dear sister.' Elysia rolled her eyes. She was currently not appearing as Elysia in the eyes of everyone but Elena.
'Master Elysia, Master Elena, I have some information regarding your confusion. Do you want to try to drastically strengthen your physical and spiritual body so that you can use ultra powerful magic without having to deal with fatal reppercussion?' Rhea joined the conversation.
'Yes!' Elena and Elysia answered in unison.
'We're trying to figure out how, but we don't have much time, do we? We need time to cultivate our physical and spiritual bodies...' Elysia took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
'Heehee, this might be the solution. We now have several people who are willing to entrust their lives to you. If you can earn their complete trust, and you can trust them too, then an absolute connection can be established.' Rhea put her hands together.
'What do you want to say, Rhea. I failed to understand it.' Elena was confused.
'You can use fusion with those who have an absolute connection to you. The examples are me, Vanessa, and Yuuki. We can fuse our existence into one with you without any problems. That way, you will become a more substantial existence.
'Aah, our spirits might be able to visit the Elysian Realm that way! It's not just my consciousness; I also don't need to enter a mini realm to visit our paradise world!' Rhea came up with some brilliant ideas after giving them some more thought.
She knew it would work because it wasn't the first time she had fused her existence with her host.
