Chapter 41: Goddess Palace, Joint Efforts, Clash of Will (2/2)



Goddess Elysia's Palace,

The resplendent palace of the goddess floated amidst billowing clouds of the softest white, its spires reaching toward the heavens like the outstretched fingers of an eager worshipper. Bathed in the gentle glow of golden sunlight, the palace exuded an aura of tranquility and majesty that captivated all who gazed upon it.

The location of this palace was not on the Lightdusk Continent nor in the skies of the Ardentia world. Instead, it was in the secret realm in possession of the goddess.

Goddess Elysia sat on a couch in an open pavilion. The pavilion was in the middle of a lovely pond filled with beautiful fish.

She was watching a cloudy screen that displayed Beastfolks of Northern Star Continent while occasionally taking a sip from a crystal cup she held in her hand.

Just then, a light brown-haired girl in her twenties, wearing a white dress, arrived and respectfully said, "Goddess, we found some traces of Nether aura."

Goddess Elysia's eyes moved towards the girl. "Where?"

"Lightdusk Continent. It appeared and vanished too. For now, I am unable to pinpoint its location."

Goddess Elysia waved her hand dismissively, "Someone will contact us if that Akuma creates troubles. Anything else?"

'Bitch,' the girl nodded with her head down, "The last person who was summoned as a Hero received the Blessing of Aeronix Ranger, but it was scattered and returned to us. What should I do about it?"

"What happened?" Goddess Elysia raised her eyebrows. "Aeronix Ranger is a top-tier Blessing on my list. The kingdom that summoned the hero should also know its value."

"We don't know for sure, but we can guess that they tried to extract the blessing and then the container must have broken. I just checked and found that the kingdom's capital where the hero was summoned is also no longer there as if someone unearthed it."

Goddess Elysia turned her head back to the screen and nonchalantly said, "Give the blessing to some other human. Our goal is to initiate this war, so focus on it."

'Bitch.'

The girl cursed the goddess in her mind again while nodding outside, "Understood."

She left the garden and returned to a hall where many other girls were playing video games and table games like pool, snooker, and table football.

"Yuzu, did you finish reporting? Come on, help me beat Urali."

Yuzu swept her gaze around the hall, her eyes filled with helplessness.

'Why was I even summoned here? Curse my life,' Yuzu sighed as she missed her previous life.

'I was CEO of the best cosmetic company, and now I am serving this slutbitchhoe goddess who doesn't care about anything but her gains.'

'Sigh...curse my life.'

Yuzu walked towards the street-fighter arcade machine and snorted, "Get up."

"Yey! Master of Street-Fighter is here. Milky bitch, you're dead."

"I've mastered this character, hoe. Today is the day Yuzu luzus, hehehe."

...

"What have you done, Rias?!"

In the meeting chamber of the Royal Palace, Principal Kadita admonished Rias, her expression part angry and part helpless.

"Rias..." King Longinus frowned. "Where did they go? You should at least tell us that."

"Do not worry," Rias shook her head. "I've taken an oath to keep his background a secret, so I cannot tell you where they went. However, they are currently not in Ardentia World."

"That is all I can say."

Principal Kadita frowned, "Even if they are in a secret realm, Akuma can still exit and return here."

"Rias, you are showing irrational behavior," King Longinus's eyes narrowed, his tone stern. "The best course of action was to kill him right there and then to put down that Akuma."

He looked at Enorin and forced out a smile. "We will recover soon. Just make sure nobody

dies."

"Nobody."

The other Death lord, who was the formal court mage also melted into a strange darkness that enveloped Darzax before turning into a cocoon.

"Leave it to me," Enorin firmly nodded as a tiny drop of blood oozed out from her finger

before it glowed and released string that stuck to all the resources of Lightning, Holy, and Light attributes in front of her.

She started absorbing their powers into her Bloodline Source and started recovering her Bloodline Essence swiftly.

In a minute, she recovered fully, and still a batch of resources was left that could recover her

Bloodline Essence by 23%.

"They worked hard.'

--

"I am on the verge of breaking the seal, trash! Just wait a bit and you will see me slaughtering

everyone!"

Aleron roared as he gave his all, his soul force whirling around him and fighting off as his will

and Akuma's will clashed against each other.

'I have to defeat him before he controls my body!'

'I won't let anybody die because of my failure!' Aleron's eyes pierced towards Akuma without

backing down. 'This bastard!!' Apuch was livid as he was getting pushed back! 'Just wait, just wait!!'

He released all of his power to break the seal while doing his best to pierce through Aleron's

soul force to hurt him more.

However, he sensed something after a few seconds, which caused his eyes to tremble

violently.

"ARGHHHHHH!! DAMN IT!"

"DAMN IT!"

"How dare you seal it again! Bitch, bitch!!!"

Aleron's eyes shone as he also sensed it now that he had awakened his soul. Aside from Soul

Force-a new type of energy, he also gained a new type of sense that could let him perceive

things broadly and in-depth.

He could see that his body was sealed again!

'They are doing their best and believe that I can defeat him!' Aleron's eyes burned with

resolve while a brilliant smile appeared on his face.

"Akuma!"

"I will win over you!"
