Chapter 918 Breaching The Deal

'Elena, you have seen how effective our traps are against that mental attack. Can you and Elysia return to your roles without the need to switch forms? Ely is safe with us. I will help you protect her.' Lifa spoke softly via telepathy.

'...' Elena didn't answer right away and glanced at Elysia. Her dear little sister was currently using her form, and she was more comfortable seeing her Ely as Ely.

After some deliberation, Elena decided to comply with Lifa's request.

"Ely." Elena held out her hand.

"I'm coming." Elysia came closer and held Elena's hand. She then entered her body and arrived at the Elysian Realm.

"Go, return to your body. We no longer need to switch roles. I will be me and you will be you." Elena also returned to the Elysian Realm.

"You are no longer worried, Sister Elena?" Elysia blinked her eyes in surprise.

"I'm not so worried anymore. Lifa will help us and we will see what she can do. I will be here for a while to monitor everything." Elena shook her head.

"You still feel wary of Lady Lifa?" Elysia replied with a tender smile.

"Not like before, but I wonder what she wants to do to you. Her spirit bonding ritual is somewhat special than the others." Elena scratched her head.

"I see... Then, I will be under your care, my dear big sis!" Elysia hugged Elena and kissed her sister on the cheek. She immediately sent her consciousness into her body, and her spirit in the Elysian Realm went dormant.

"That's really unexpected, my lil Ely..." Elena held her cheeks and made Elysia's spirit lie down on the bed in a comfortable position. She poked Elysia's cheek while exploring the outside world using their shared senses.

'Hmm? You master decided to wait inside?' Lifa greeted Elysia while gesturing to Rhea to help Elysia to come closer.

'Mm, my master wishes to witness your unique spirit-bonding ritual, Lady Lifa. I hope you don't feel offended.' Elysia apologized politely. She came in front of Lifa under the Tree of Life, and Rhea took a step back.

'Thank you, Rhea.' Elysia expressed her appreciation. She knew her body had previously almost fallen because Elena had returned to Elysian Realm, but she didn't immediately take over her body.

'I feel honored.' Rhea smiled in reply.

'Elysia, are you ready?' Lifa took a deep breath.

'I'm ready. What do I need to do, Lady Lifa?' Elisia nodded.

'Hmm, even though I call it special, it's not that complicated. Leave it to me and it will be done in minutes.' Lifa stretched out her hands. She hoped her decision was right and didn't bring disaster to Elysia.

Elysia grabbed Lifa's hand and connected her magic with the same frequency as Lifa. After that, Lifa pressed her forehead onto Elysia's.

The massive golden magic circle formation emerged beneath the ground, illuminating the Tree of Life with Elysia and Lifa as the center.

'I will leave a divine mark on your upper chest, Ely. It will be useful for our fusion ceremony. I requested for an absolute spirit connection. Do you allow it?' Lifa asked permission before proceeding to the next stage.

'Permission granted.' Elysia trusted Lifa because of Rhea and gave her permission quickly. She let Lifa's divine marks into her body, one going to her lower dantian and one to her upper chest.

At the same time, she bound Lifa's spirit to her. The strings that appeared shortly after were countless. They were connected to Lifa's avatar and the Tree of Life. And then, both of Lifa's existences bound with Elysia so seamlessly.

Lifa was a little surprised because she thought Elena would check things out before letting her do whatever she wanted to Elysia, but Elena put some trust in her. Also, Elysia's spirit was superior to what Lifa had expected.

'Don't move just yet. Let all these spirit strings into your body. We are connecting to my main body right now.' Lifa immediately reminded Elysia when her host thought it was over.

'Un.' Elysia stared into Lifa's beautiful leaf-green eyes in awe. This was probably the first time she was so close to Lifa, but those pair of eyes seemed not to see her but deep into her.

'The tribulation might attack us because I broke a rule. Ely, are you willing to bear my sins and all my knowledge?' Lifa spoke when her main body was connected to their spirit connection. She asked one more time before she tried to link their spirit connection to the absolute bonding.

'I believe you are a good Goddess. If we need to bear a burden, then we will bear it together. Like what our dear friends often say. I am not alone and never will be. I am grateful to meet them.' Elysia closed her eyes with a gentle smile.

'I will entrust my future to you with great faith. You may get the hint from the universe's secret. I will protect you and eliminate all your enemies. I, the Ancient Goddess of Life, Lifa, ranked first in old Divine Order, shall receive your blessing to become the member of your pantheon, o the Unknown Goddess of long lost era, Elysia.' Lifa closed her eyes and gave full permission for Elysia's spirit strings to take access to her entire being.

At the same time, her divine mark also materialized for Elysia's spirit with Elysia's permission.

"Hmm?" Elena blinked her eyes in surprise as a bright golden divine mark appeared on Elysia's spirit.

Upon closer inspection, hundreds of micro runes formed a root shape that spread out like a pair of wings. However, the runes formed in the center somehow resembled a love heart symbol.

"!?" Rhea gasped as a familiar bright golden divine mark shone on Elysia's upper chest. She stared at her mother in disbelief but didn't try to interfere in this sacred ritual.

She hoped to be the first to do absolute spirit bonding and fusion with her host master, but her mother took the spot as Elysia's first.

"!?" Elysia widened her eyes as a stream of memories was sent to her mind. Lifa did that for her, so she knew several secrets that Lifa could never tell anyone.

The mind sync was automatically formed between Elysia and Lifa due to the absolute spirit connection. Lifa glanced up and immediately disintegrated her avatar to fuse with Elysia's physical body.

At the same time, she also did the same for her main body.

"It's almost time..." Lifa muttered softly as her avatar, and the main body turned into gold particles gradually.

Among all the information that Lifa wanted Elysia to know, one thing caught Elysia and Elena's attention. A high-ranking entity existed, much more potent than Lifa's past glory. He made a deal with Lifa regarding a Goddess who would be ordained to save Vrelenia.

"Guide her, and you will prosper. Led her to a beautiful and safe world." Those were the last words that mysterious existence uttered after the agreement under the divine contract.

"Ely. Don't dive too deep because now is not the time." Lifa reminded as her soul trembled from danger.

"Eh?" Elysia came out of her trance. She gasped in surprise as she realized Lifa was turning into particles as if she were about to disappear. "Why..."

"We'll fuse. You will know more things gradually. Don't misuse our mind sync at will. Get ready Ely, I broke the rule and the tribulation will fall. Get out of Nature Realm as soon as I fused to you. Fufu, what would happen if a Goddess fused into another one completely? I'm curious." Lifa caressed Elysia's cheek and smiled warmly.

It was her last moment before completely turning into gold particles, entering Elysia's body. Her spirit bodies transferred to the Elysian Realm, and her physical bodies went somewhere unknown when she was successfully fused to Elysia's existence.

Elysia's long black hair soon turned greenish. A golden light instantly enveloped her entire body.

The girls were amazed at what had happened before their eyes. Elysia was morphed into a new Goddess form. However, Elysia suddenly summoned the Goddess of Life's divine dress and rushed out of the Nature Realm, shocking everyone.

"What, what happened!?" Nell was surprised and rushed after Elysia.

*Rumble* *Rumble* *Rumble!*

The turbulent energy within Elysia's body exploded, and Elysia rushed to fly into the night sky. Unfortunately, the 'tribulation' broke out before she could take a safe distance from Evroria Palace.

*Boom!*

A greenish-gold light exploded, crushing the roof of the palace into dust. A blue chakram appeared out of nowhere and restrained Elysia's body instantly. Hundreds of divine swords appeared out of thin air and stabbed Elysia from all directions, but they immediately vanished upon contact.

The entire tribulation then vanished as if nothing had ever happened there.

"What's going on?" Elysia was so confused.

'Hehe, as I expected. Even though he is a superior existence from a higher universe, his contract wont take effect if I am here. His divinity will never hurt his kin. Ely, your origin seems so complicated and profound. He is the only one who holds the truth about your true identity.' Lifa chuckled in satisfaction.

'You, old lady! Why do you invade my sacred ground!? It wasn't the tribulation, but divine punishment!' Elena tried to strangle Lifa in the Elysian Realm.

'Wait, Elena... Please calm down. I can explain it!' Lifa ran away because she couldn't confront the angry Elena.

"..." Elysia went silent and looked at her hands. If everything was according to Lifa's words, then that mysterious entity might have composed her life on Earth and Vrelenia. However, why did he arrange everything so far in the past for her?
