Chapter 789: Elimination Begin (1)
"There was an intruder last night? And a deity at that?" Xero frowned upon hearing the information. He was oblivious, but it was surprising that an intruder could break through the protective barrier.
"Well, we've caught two deities then. Sixty-one more, and we can go to the Heaven Realm." Xero shrugged his shoulders and continued eating his breakfast. He surprisingly needed to eat and drink a lot because of last night's meditation.
"..." Elysia continued her breakfast elegantly. Luckily, she provided enough breakfast to satisfy the gluttons in her group.
"Can you imprison that succubus deity in your prison now?" Lifa put down her cutlery. She was done with her breakfast.
"That's easy. Unseal that room." Xero doesn't mind fulfilling that simple request.
"Good." Lifa swung her arms and released her seal from the empty space behind.
Xero entered the room and found a demoness lying on the floor, sleeping in a bound of dark magic.
He simply removed that black magic bound and replaced it with a new one. Then, he opened a portal and threw that demoness into his prison like a garbage sack.
"!!!" The demoness was surprised, but the portal immediately closed.
The task was done, and Xero returned to the dining table.
"Here, I lent them to you. So, please take care of my spare shadow robes and masks as you need to return them later." Ai distributes the disguise cloaks for their later missions to the girls, except for Elysia and the Goddess of Light.
"Shadow cloak? I don't need that." Xero refused the cloak that was given to him.
"That's fine if you don't want to, but we have a dress code for executioners on hunting day. Would you like your face to be seen by the troublesome while on a mission?" Ai shrugged her shoulders and turned around.
"I can wear my darkness armor like a dark knight." Xero assumed that the dress code was black.
"That's good. We can also leave Gio with his usual armored body." Lifa didn't mind the decision.
"Wow, this robe is cool. It's not just a cloak. It's a full-body robe! We're going to look like mysterious shadow assassins, right?" Sylvia twirled in front of the mirror. She was already wearing her shadow robe and mask enthusiastically.
"Assassin, huh..." Evelyn muttered under her breath. She held her shadow robe with complicated feelings.
She would move with Elysia and the Goddess of Light in this hunting mission. It implied that she was still considered weak, but she didn't feel that was wrong since it was true.
Maybe, this was another opportunity where she could learn a few things from her best friend and the Goddess of Light in action.
"Hmm?" Elysia turned towards the window, looking up at the slightly overcast morning sky. She felt that something was flying closer and closer.
"???" Rhea was curious and turned towards the window as well.
A few moments later, a small black bat flew around the residential area like it was losing its way. However, it landed on a tree and checked something like a mini compass at its feet.
Afterwards, the bat went closer to the window where Elysia was looking out.
*Bam!*
"Ugh, the protective barrier. So, this place is the correct one." A woman's voice came from the bat. She rubbed her face because the impact just now was a bit painful.
*Knock* *Knock*
The bat knocked on the barrier by the window as if she was about to visit.
Elysia looked at Rhea and the others. She was so astonished by this little visitor.
"Let's let that talking bat enter. We can ask directly about the intent and purpose of her coming. She seems to have come here on purpose and doesn't have a chess piece of power either." Rhea put her hand on Elysia's arm.
"..." Elysia looked at the others. They seemed to agree with the suggestion. Despite their relaxed demeanor, everyone was actually on standby as if ready to attack if necessary.
Therefore, Elysia waved her hand to create an entrance around the window for the little bat to enter.
The bat perched onto the frame and opened the window before flying in.
"Whoa, it turns out that his prediction was right! Fufu, the one they wanted to avoid the most, turned out to be pretending to be the prey." The bat chuckled happily, but someone suddenly caught her.
"Hm, s
he's on the same level as a deity. A deity bat? You might be a good fit for material in my experimental formula." Xero inspected the bat in his hand.
"What!? You want to cook for me? Have you gone mad or what? Hey, Elysia, Aria, please keep this brat away from me!" The bat tried to free herself frantically.
"Have we met before? You come here because you knew we are here?" Elysia glanced at Rhea, but they didn't remember having any bat acquaintances here.
"We've met before in the Heaven Realm, haven't we? You were on a picnic, and I visited by accident. Hey, keep your face away from me! I am Darkness, the ruler of Darkness Realm and the only demoness free to roam in heaven! I'm here because of this prophecy and compass directions!" Darkness immediately explained herself because this white-haired boy was very intimidating and scary.
"Oh~ It's you, the talking bat, the lady who likes to grumble about a hypocritical Goddess." Elysia dropped her fist onto her open palm. She could remember this bat now.
"Tic, please release Lady Darkness. She is someone we met in the Heaven Realm. Do you remember?" Elysia stretched out her hand.
"Oh, that bat. Well, why did you come here then?" Xero let go of the bat and folded his arms. He wanted to know what heaven's representative wanted to convey by coming here.
"Uh, rude person." Darkness materialized herself into a black-haired charming, sexy lady. She wrapped herself in her dark dress and sat on the empty sofa.
For some reason, she found the fruit's appeal in a nearby basket so alluring. She took some to eat. "Hmm~ This is delicious. Are these heavenly fruits? Fruits like this cannot exist in this mortal world."
"..." Everyone looked at each other in somewhat astonishment. This Lady Darkness was so relaxed regardless of her situation.
"Anyway, I came here to help you go to heaven and defeat the Council. However, Earth Mother and nature spirits still seal access in and out. Perhaps, we can cooperate to eliminate the naughty Gods who participated in the God Game?" Darkness started to speak after she emptied the fruit basket.
"To help us? May I know what you and your association can do?" Lifa was intrigued.
"A lot of things. We're also hunting for participants, but there aren't many of us in the mortal realm. We're overwhelmed, not to mention the demons summoned to this world because of that Evil God!" Darkness clenched her fists in annoyance.
"Evil God?" Xero frowned. For many reasons, he hated the God who used the same title as his in the past.
"Yes, the one who claims to be the Emperor of Hell and Underworld. He may no longer be able to summon his minions from his summoning magic, but there are quite a few. Divination says that you will return to this world, which is why your catalyst is targeted for removal. Hey, but it's the predators pretending to be the prey! They hit hard and get battered just for that bounty, haha!" Darkness laughed in satisfaction while clutching her stomach.
"Hmm, it's fine if you want to cooperate with our group. However, we have already associated with Earth Mother and nature spirits to eliminate all God Game participants. You better not get in our way then." Lifa glanced at Elysia and Rhea before nodding.
"Hehe, of course. The Divine Association's members residing on Earth will help you as much as possible." Darkness had just responded, but she instantly froze as she recaptured the answer just now. "You w-what? You've been associated with Earth Mother and those unreasonable nature spirits!? You mean, you've worked with them?"
"The nature spirits will be offended if they hear you, you know?" Sylvia rolled her eyes.
"They're here!?" Darkness widened her eyes. She looked left and right to check the surroundings, but no nature spirits existed.
"The nature spirits haven't arrived here yet. They shall assist us in eliminating all participants and imprisoning all naughty deities to be punished by heavenly rules. That's our agreement. There are sixty-three of them, is that right?" Rhea glanced out the window.
The nature spirits excused themselves to leave last night because they needed to attend a high-level meeting regarding today's hunting event. Maybe, they would be here in a few minutes.
"Wow, nature spirits have so much confidence in your abilities, huh? Let's hunt down the participants, and we can go to Heaven Realm to overthrow the Council!" Darkness declared that statement enthusiastically.
She didn't know for sure the capabilities of everyone in this room. Still, she could tell they far exc
eeded her expectations. Not even close to that hypocritical Goddess's predictions.
"Well, we are waiting for Sora and her comrades. Today's mission is critical and complex. They-" Elysia was just about to speak, but someone suddenly told her something crucial via telepathy.
'Elysia, take your group to the South China Sea right now. Sora and the others are ambushed by a group of evil deities. They are currently trapped in an underwater trap formation. I will tell you the exact location via telepathy. Just teleport there.' Earth Mother told the situation in a somewhat annoyed tone.
Elysia's facial expression changed, and Rhea knew the situation wasn't good.
