Chapter 767: It Started Prematurely
'Ely...' Elena spoke in a worried tone.
'So, the God Game hasn't started yet, but the humans and deities involved decided to eliminate their competitors? The war that broke out in the last few weeks was simply stupid. Does their selfishness know no bounds?' Elysia continued to read the military records report regarding what was happening in the world recently.
Three days since she left Earth, Erina once told her that some disputes and wars were happening in several places. Still, she would never expect everything was this severe.
'Master Elysia, Master Elena... I presume several higher-ups in the military are involved in the war you are referring to. The God Game and their eliminations started prematurely. However, I can't come to any conclusions yet because I can't read the language of that information.' Rhea conveyed her opinion.
'I'll do a mind sync with you after this if you're willing, Rhea. Two things we need to know as soon as possible are the latest information and news from Earth Mother. We've got the former, but the latter is still unknown.' Elysia made the offer.
'With pleasure. However, may I know what your plans for Xero are? He also wants to know the language of this world, right? If we don't give him a solution soon, then he will go to snatch someone's soul to extract language knowledge.' Rhea was pleased with the solution, but she could imagine Elysia would be annoyed with Xero if that happened.
'I have a technique called shared processing. It was a technique that Ai taught me in the Boundless Realm. It works like a temporary shared knowledge, a few levels below mind sync. I just had to leave an imprint on someone's brain, and it was done.' Elysia didn't think much of it because she already had a solution. She just didn't want to do that right away.
'O-okay. That sounds like a practical technique. But, I'm to mind sync, hmm~' For some reason, Rhea felt excited to get the honor of mind sync because it was the same as Elysia putting a lot of faith in her.
It took Elysia an hour to go through all the files in the folder before she returned the laptop. She could draw conclusions regarding everything that had happened recently. However, she still needed to confirm what actually happened with her own eyes after this.
As it turned out, there were not only wars and chaos but natural disasters and pandemics that shook the world as well. It was like a sign of anger from the Earth Mother.
"..." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh and glanced at Erina. She indirectly brought disaster to Erina's family because a powerful entity didn't want her to return to Earth. Still, she would hunt down that culprit soon.
"So, what about my son? Can you help him? Those doctors, experts in the medical world, or even a Grandmaster can't do much about Erina and Kenji's case." Mitsuzuka raised the previous topic.
"Sure, we can get started. However, I need help with that." Elysia nodded in agreement, and that made Erina and Mitsuzuka feel relieved.
"Tell me what you need, and I'll get it for you." Mitsuzuka put his hand on his chest.
"No, you could die instantly if you were the one helping me. Let's do it with the two behind you. They are your trusted bodyguards, right? They still have a lot of zest and life." Elysia wiggled her index finger left and right, then pointed her palm at the two people near the door.
"Ryosei, Shuzo." Mitsuzuka called his trusted people to come closer.
"Yes, sir." Ryosei and Shuzo approached respectfully.
"I believe you already knew Elysia's capabilities in the underworld at that accident. I want you to follow her instructions so she can recover my son, Kenji." Mitsuzuka gave his order without delay.
"I will do anything if it can help Kenji."
"Understood."
Ryusei and Shuzo nodded in understanding. They drew closer to Elysia for further instructions.
"So you are Sir Ryusei and Sir Shuzo. May I know how much you will sacrifice for the Minamoto Clan? What would you do if Sir Kenji could recover at the cost of your lives?" Elysia raised her palm and spoke with a neutral expression.
"Somehow, I find it strange when a young girl from a third party questions my loyalty. My apologies, but I'm still alive because of the Minamoto Clan. Humans will end up dying, but that's not too bad. I might be too old to keep fighting. Kenji was my comrade in many battles. I was there when he was young and still a rookie." Ryusei took off his sunglasses and looked sadly at the mummy-like man on the bed. Kenji was already like his son.
"A life-for-life trade-off, huh? I don't mind that. I should be on the battlefield in the Pacific Ocean and die there, but that's fine. Kenji will fight for us to wipe out all enemies who intend to invade our country." Shuzo looked out the window. He felt the apocalypse was near, but he still had to defend his country and protect the clan he served.
"Well, I'm not asking you to die just because of this. You will probably only lose a few years of your lifespan for this. I presume you already know Sir Kenji's condition, and I would like to cure him with you as the base reference. If you are ready, please take off your black suit and take a stool to sit here." Elysia gave her instructions before getting up from her seat.
Ryusei and Shuzo didn't think twice about doing that. They immediately took off their black suits and sat down only clad in their undershirts and shorts.
"Erina-san, I advise you not to watch your father's healing process." Elysia pushed Erina's wheelchair to the corner of the room, facing the wall.
"Huh, why? Am I not allowed to see it?" Erina felt it was unfair, and she pouted at that.
"No, it will be like surgery, and I want you not to watch the process. It will only take a few minutes. Can you wait and close your eyes until I tell you again?" Elysia gave a head pat to Erina.
"Uh, okay... I'll close my eyes. However, please heal my father." Erina chose to obey and covered her eyes with both hands.
"Good girl." Elysia returned to her seat and erected an illusory barrier just for Erina. She didn't want Erina to see Kenji's actual situation for Erina's well-being.
"Alright, let's get started. Please hold out your hand, and don't move or talk. Some energy flows will scan your body, and make sure you don't put up any resistance to them." Elysia took a scalpel from her Space Bag.
"Good." Ryusei and Shuzo nodded in agreement.
Elysia then removed all the bandages that wrapped Kenji's body. She didn't feel too embarrassed because she was in serious mode as a healer.
She scanned the bodies of two volunteers and made copies of them for Kenji. Kenji's body parts that turned gold were removed before she made replacement body parts with healing magic.
The consumption of life energy for recovery was not only borne by her alone but by the two volunteers as well.
"!!!" Mitsuzuka was so surprised, and so were his two trusted people. They watched Kenji being dissected, and the part that became gold removed, but Elysia healed the damaged body parts shortly after!
If it weren't for some golden green magic light, they might have thought that Elysia did that out of thin air.
Elysia only needed six minutes to fully recover Kenji's body. Even if there was a slight difference with the original shape, Erina's father wouldn't be disabled for life or fall into an extended coma.
"Thanks for your cooperation. You can put on your black suit again. Sir Kenji will probably wake up in a few minutes." Elysia took a handkerchief and wiped her sweat. She then covered Kenji's body with a blanket. Recovering Kenji was more troublesome than curing Erina due to her lack of experience.
'You can just call Nell, and she can do that without any trouble, Ely.' Elena threw a light joke.
'Yeah, and they'll be freaked out because a fairy appears among us.' Elysia got up, revoked her illusion barrier, and went towards Erina.
"This is truly a miracle..." Mitsuzuka muttered under his breath, still in amazement. His son's body was fully recovered!
"Erina-san, the healing is complete. Your father will probably wake up in a few minutes." Elysia put her hand on Erina's shoulder and whispered softly. She was glad that Erina remained obedient.
"Huh? That's so fast, Elysia-san. Thank you so much for your help. I don't know how to express it properly now." Erina opened her eyes and looked at Elysia with happy emotion.
"You can save that for later. I'll take you to see your father." Elysia pushed Erina's wheelchair near the patient's bed.
After that, she went near Xero and let the Minamoto Clan members exchange words among themselves.
'Why are you going to great lengths for them, Elysia?' Xero asked curtly.
'We are half responsible for the calamity that befell them. Someone didn't want us to come here and was about to kill Erina-san. Our guess is Earth Mother thwarted that by protecting Erina-san. I will tell you the details after this. The situation on Earth is more complicated than I thought.' Elysia told her the reason. Then, she informed us about shared processing, and Xero agreed without delay.
'I presume your master knows this. It's just a mid-level connection to process incoming information. However, please be careful because your mind may be overloaded.' Xero reminded firmly. He knew Elysia's master would spare no effort to punish him if Elysia was hurt.
'Yes, we are fully aware.' Elysia nodded slightly.
'Then you can do it. Now or later?' Xero nodded in agreement.
'After we leave here with them. It's not safe here. The doctors outside will obviously bother us too...' Elysia checked out of the room using her advanced perception. Those doctors were still behind the door, waiting for something but couldn't barge in anymore because of her barrier.
'I will deal with those puny humans if they dare to disturb us.' Xero snorted in reply.
