Chapter 350: Rhea Healing Operation
"Uh, no, no need. I just spoke without any other meaning. Your secret is safe with us, really. Right, big sister?" Nell shook her head and hands in a firm rejection.
"Mm, it will be a little confusing for me to tell the difference between you and your master, Elysia. It's a little late, but please accept my deep gratitude, Elysia." Rhea smiled with a somewhat sad and frail expression. She was still unable to move because of the backlash. "Please forgive me. I can't move and can't bow down to express my feelings."
"It's okay. You don't have to bow down to me, the Goddess of Nature. How do you feel now?" Elysia moved closer to Rhea in relief. She hoped a lot on Nell and Rhea to keep her secret.
"I am still like before. Apart from my head, half of my body is immovable, and the other half is still sealed in the Aurora Crystal. As expected of you, Almighty Goddess. You can tell that I am not the Goddess of Life easily." Rhea said it with a reverence gaze.
No one knew about her actual title beside her mother and the strongest God. Still, the Goddess before her eyes already knew it without anyone telling it. Omnipotent and Omniscient Goddess with two forms and personalities, but one unity.
"Mm, I can see that. Even three of your six wings are also sealed by... Aurora Crystal? All of this is the Aurora Crystal? Why is it semi-transparent green and does not resemble auroral light?" Elysia touched the crystal that sealed half of Rhea's body to check it.
"It's because of my divine magic. Aurora Crystal is a unique Divine Grade treasure material. It will change color and can be given an absolute law for something. Your necklace chain is also created with the same material, Elysia." Rhea glanced at the green gem on Elysia's neck and knew it was Nature Realm's Core.
"I see... What a precious material. What kind of law was given to this necklace chain by Madam Lifa?" Elysia touched her necklace to check for some weird magic or something like that.
In retrospect, she had 25 kilograms of Aurora Crystal in her Space Storage. That material was waiting to be forged into a unique weapon. Who would have thought that it was a Divine Grade treasure material?
"Hmm, it's just a blessing, so you can purify foreign Life Energy twice as fast as usual and absorb it as your own Life Energy." Rhea checked the necklace chain and knew the effect at once.
"How generous." Elysia smiled as she looked at the golden oval ball. It seemed Lifa was sleeping. "Rhea, can I call you by that name?"
"Mm, you can call me by my real name. However, please only in private time. That goes for my silly little sister too. The best thing for us is to keep our real names secret from any outsiders." Rhea nodded softly without the need to consider anything.
"I understand. However, that's a bit sad for you, Nell. The Evil God Xerroth already knows your real name but chooses to call you firefly." Elysia chuckled subtly and covered her mouth.
"Huh, please don't bring that hateful Shiro into our conversation. He can die, and no one cares. Hmph! It's because of your master too, Elysia. Looks like I got a new nickname." Nell got annoyed and folded her arms. She didn't like that Evil God to be discussed.
"Oh my, what kind of nickname?" Rhea became interested at once.
"Uhm, maybe it's something like a shining cocoon." Nell snorted and answered, though reluctantly. She couldn't say no to her good big sister, no matter then or now.
"Ufufu... Alright, I will call you Elysia and your other self Elena. I will add honorific depending on the circumstances. Is that fine?" Rhea looked back at Elysia to see the latter's face.
"That's fine for me. But, you need to listen to my master's opinion later." Elysia shrugged her shoulders a little, no problem on her side. Although she was a bit confused with the 'other half' in question.
"Sure. I'll ask you later when your other- ahem, your master shows up." Rhea was a little annoyed with herself.
She accidentally said Elena was Elysia's other half and almost repeated it! It was so presumptuous and disrespectful when Elysia herself treated Elena as a master.
Her mother already told her a while ago, and she should have followed the term. If it weren't for her mother's suggestion, she would have called Elysia her master already.
Fortunately, Elysia was not offended by her mistake. Even so, she still said her apology nevertheless.
After that, Elysia, Nell, and Rhea exchanged some light conversations. At that moment, Vanessa also joined the ladies' conversation. Two hours passed without being noticed, and it was only filled by the ladies chit-chat about many things.
Right after dinner, Elysia brought up the topic of healing Rhea's body again. "What do we need to do with you half of your body, Rhea? Would you like me to heal you?"
"If it doesn't burden you, please help me get rid of these curses. I can't do anything but seal all these curses. However, I need to say this beforehand, it will take a lot of effort, time, and Life Energy. Do you still want to heal me?" Rhea's eyes sparkled with pleas and hopes.
"Of course. We just need to look for Life Energy replenishment at a later time. We've lost a lot in the last two days, and We're halfway through the healing of one Goddess. We'll handle it until it's finished." Elysia answered without the slightest hesitation. She hoped for additional reinforcements during the inevitable battle.
Rhea didn't need to answer that, but she smiled gently. Elysia came out just as she expected. She really appreciated Elysia's remark with all her heart.
"We don't have much time. Would you like to start now, Rhea?" Elysia smiled back at Rhea.
"I'll be in your care." Rhea nodded slightly without reducing the smile on her face. She just closed her eyes and waited for the next.
Elysia did not act immediately. She woke up Elena and asked for help, as they had discussed beforehand.
Meanwhile, Nell and Vanessa just watched the exchange between Elysia and Rhea silently.
Rhea got a little nervous because Elysia didn't say anything afterward. Thus, she opened her eyes a little to peek.
"Uhm, Rhea. I need to ask your permission beforehand. The curses that reside in your body are none other than external curses. For some time to come, I need to touch your body. Do you mind?" Elysia asked with a slight blush.
Elena advised her to ask that because they needed to physically touch Rhea's body to completely eradicate the curse energy fibers.
"..." Rhea felt a little dumbfounded for a moment. However, she immediately made up her mind with a faint smile. "I have no objections, Elysia. You are my host and master. After I recover, please allow me to consummate our relationship and connection. You can do anything to me. I'm all yours."
"Wha-" Elysia blushed even more because it sounded strange in her mind.
'Wow, this girl is so daring to present her body to us, Ely. She really intends to serve us for life? Did we get a Goddess-level maid? Oh my, Ely, fufu... You have dirty thoughts. What will you do with this girl's helpless voluptuous body?' Elena chuckled as Elysia had a strange thought.
'What can I do? Rhea said those ambiguous lines with confidence and conviction. It's not my fault...' Elysia was embarrassed when it was mentioned by Elena.
'Is that so? Well, this girl is still pure. So, she probably said that to test you on something. She needs something from us, and in return, she will give something to us. Maybe, it will be like loyalty, and she will serve us. Just do it all in a relaxed and sincere way, Ely.' Elena suggested the best plan.
'All right.' Elysia steeled her intention and shifted her focus.
"Then, excuse me." Elysia stood up and lifted Rhea with magic. Then, she made a bed with her imaginary magic and put Rhea there.
Elysia glanced down at her body for a second. It was a little inconvenient to act meticulously with Elena's form. For that reason, she transformed into her original form before Nell and Vanessa's eyes fearlessly. They already knew about that ability, after all.
"Please close your eyes and avoid making noise as much as possible. We need high concentration, and it should not be disturbed. Do you understand, Rhea?" Elysia tied her hair into a high ponytail, then put on gloves and a mask. She looked like a doctor about to operate on the patient.
Rhea's eyes widened slightly to see determination and confidence in Elysia's purplish-blue eyes. She was so surprised to see Elysia's form change before her eyes as well, similar to Nell and Vanessa.
Then, Rhea just nodded absently. She knew Elysia didn't accept no for this. Once again, she was simply amazed by Elysia's performance and charisma. Perhaps, serving this Goddess wouldn't be a wrong choice.
"All right, we'll get started. Vann, Nell, please stay quiet, okay?" Elysia gave a gentle reminder, then enveloped herself and Rhea in a barrier after Nell and Vanessa nodded repeatedly.
For the next few moments, Elysia and Elena worked to eliminate the curses on Rhea's body. They also simultaneously healed Rhea's damaged body parts by sacrificing their Life Energy for all of it.
It lasted two days and two nights with several breaks in between. By the third day, Rhea had almost fully recovered and was free from the curses.
