“…” Xero glanced at the girl who was bundled up with a blanket in Rhea’s arms. “You really are crazy. That girl is that Demon God’s puppet, and you intend to make her your belonging?”

“My mental health is fine, and I have obtained approval for this decision. She may be just a doll created by that Demon God, but she has soul and spirit. I’ve taken some measurements and will install some precautions. Anyway, thank you for your concern.” Rhea stared at Xentia for a moment, then nodded to Xero.

“Sure, whataver. Just make sure she doesn’t stab you in the back. I’m going to my room first to meditate to recuperate. Don’t bother me until it’s dinner time.” Xero raised his hand in farewell while going upstairs.

Elysia took off her shadow mask and faced everyone. “Thank you, everyone. You’ve worked hard today and must be feeling exhausted. Would you like to have a dinner, take a shower, or meditate to recuperate first?”

“Hmm, I think we need to clean up first, Ely. After that, we can eat together and recuperate.” Ai felt she needed a shower immediately because the previous battles made her dirty.

Yuuki also thought the same but had a different wish. “Onsen? Hot springs?”

“It must be nice. However, now is not the right opportunity to go to Earth’s hot springs, even if you want to try it. There are currently too many groups monitoring us from afar. Let’s go to the ones in Nature Realm, White Tiger Palace.” Elena considered the request but could only come up with an alternative solution.

“Wonderful!” Yuuki put her hands together. She wanted to soak in the hot spring with Elysia and everyone else.

“But, Sylvi and Goddess Helen haven’t returned yet. Shall we wait for them?” Lynn raised her hand for attention.

“We can go ahead and leave the portal open for them. Gio and Cherub will guard the portal…” Lifa pointed her hand at Gio and Cherub, but she realized they were much dirtier due to the previous battle. “Uhhh, look how dirty you have become. You exterminated the demons with so much enthusiasm that you didn’t realize you were now covered in dirt and mud.”

Therefore, Lifa requested Gio to transform into a little dragon. She then used water magic to clean every nook of Gio’s body before covering him with a warm blanket. Cherub also received the same treatment with Ai’s permission.

“Please guard the portal for us. Sylvi and Goddess Helen will come back soon. Let them in, but don’t let the others, okay? We’ll be right back.” Elysia patted Gio’s head.

“The boys are temporarily banned from entering as we will be bathing. Make sure that the Heretic God Tic doesn’t sneak in too.” Ai gave her pet a head pat.

​ “Hrmm!”

“Rawr!”

Gio and Cherub responded in unison. They received the orders, and they would stand guard with vigilance.

“All right then.” Elena nodded slightly and entered the Nature Realm through the portal that Elysia had just opened. It would directly connect them to near the hot springs.

Everyone took turns entering the portal, but there was someone who had something on her mind.

“…” Evelyn stole glances at Elysia several times. What the artificial angel said earlier made her feel a bit confused.

‘Why does that girl refer to Ely as Goddess Ely? Is she like Yuuki and sees Ely as her Goddess? However, what did she mean by Goddess Aria’s master? Was it related to a little play, or maybe the Goddess Tamer that Sylvi said was true? It’s not a parable to play with?’ Evelyn scratched her head in confusion. She would never find the answer, but she intended to ask her best friend directly at the right time.

While everyone soaked in the private hot springs, Sylvia had just finished checking the unconscious participants. They were still bound like prisoners in several separate rooms. After that, she went upstairs while humming a tune.

“Oh, right… The exit path is still sealed because of Yuuki.” Sylvia mumbled under her breath when she found the path still sealed by thick ice.

Considering that Yuuki wasn’t here right now, those ice chunks would have blocked the exit path for quite some time. The other exit is also blocked like this. Therefore, the only solution that came to Sylvia’s mind was to make a way out with brute force.

‘Don’t try to destroy that huge chunk of ice with an explosion, or we’ll be buried alive. I’ll melt it.’ Nell could easily guess Sylvia’s thinking when this devil girl took out a mini cannon.

‘Oh, okay…’ Sylvia put back her cannon.

Nell got out of Sylvia’s hood and put her hand on the ice. She only needed a few seconds, and all the ice melted so fast.

‘Quickly finish our business here.’ Nell immediately went back into hiding in Sylvia’s hood. For some reason, she felt the others were having fun without her and wanted to come back soon to join in.

Sylvia rushed upstairs but paused in the third basement because she found an arsenal. She picked up a few weapons that caught her attention as if they were souvenirs before going to the surface to meet that group of superheroes.

“What about the fatalities?” The man in blue armor asked the mecha man.

“We can’t get exact data because we haven’t drilled down to basement four or below. For now, eight hundred and eleven soldiers have died in total with six hundred and forty three being the demonized soldiers. They are the super soldiers being developed at this military base, but something triggered their power to become demonic and out of control.” The man in a white mecha suit relayed the data they got.

“Is that so? Then it’s time for us to go to basement four. Those ladies in a black suits might need our help.” The man in blue armor sighed and checked the state of his comrades. They still had a lot of energy to deal with the demons underground.

“You may go there, but you don’t need to look for us. You seem to have cleaned the demonic soldiers and demonic beasts clean. Good job.” Sylvia came closer while patting her hand lightly. She instantly got everyone’s attention.

*Clack* *Clack*

The surviving soldiers pointed their advanced rifles at the newcomer.

“Put down your weapons. She is an ally.” The man in blue armor spread his arms to the sides and signaled everyone not to act rashly. He then stepped forward to talk to the newcomer. “Did you come to meet with us? Can you elaborate on the situation down there?”

“Take a look at this. This is the data we got regarding the incident in this place. You can prove its authenticity later.” Sylvia took a document and sent it flying at the man in blue armor.

“…” The man in blue armor fell silent and skimmed the document. However, he was completely surprised by the contents. Even so, he would only read the details later as he was in front of a representative from a mysterious super organization. “Are you really our ally? What is your organization trying to achieve? Also, where have your comrades gone?”

“I don’t know, we might be allies or foes depending on the decision you make. You won’t be able to understand our grand plans in your current situation. As for my comrades, they’ve already gone home.” Sylvia glanced up at the sky.

“Enemies, huh… That would be very troublesome.” The man in blue armor muttered.

“You can understand something from that document. Tell your superiors about the contents. There are many important things. Your higher-ups already know about us, especially the association.” Sylvia raised her hand in farewell and walked away.

“Where would you go?” The man in blue armor hasn’t finished talking to the other party yet.

“I shall take some souvenirs home. We solved the problem for you guys, and it’s not free.” Sylvia answered without looking back. Yet, she almost forgot to tell those superheroes one crucial thing. “Oh, right. We’ve already defeated the ability users who teamed up with the demons. We tied them up in different rooms in basement seven. Do whatever you want to them.”

“…” Everyone fell silent as the black-robed lady went to the military airport apron.

“Is it okay to just let her go, captain?” A soldier asked from behind.

“I believe she didn’t come with bad intentions. She already said it, right? We can be allies or foes depending on our decision. Are you not aware? The oppresive domain crumpled a while ago. So, they have solved the root of the problem. We’ve got everything we could possibly want to know from the documents she’s prepared for us-” The man in blue armor raised his hand to reassure everyone. He patted the document and then looked at the black-robed lady. He instantly went speechless.

Everyone was also surprised. How could it not? That black-robed lady stole several latest advanced jet planes and helicopters. Those war vehicles suddenly disappeared from the apron before that lady mysteriously disappeared!

“Is she a ghost? She stole our military jets and helicoters then vanished!” A soldier clutched his head in panic.

“That is the power of the Guardian of Dream’s member, huh…” The man in blue armor muttered under his breath.

“Ahem! Let her take them as souvenirs. We’re going underground now to make sure of everything. Let’s go!” The man in blue armor put the document into the small bag on his belt. He then led everyone to go with him.
