A few moments later, Hea returned with a bundle of blankets. It wriggled like a hot worm, but its movement was so weak.

“I’ve brought Ashera here. She is sick, but energetic enough to rebel.” Hea opened the bundle of blankets and revealed the sick Elven Empress.

“Hea… Don’t you have a conscience? I’m sick and you forced me to come here to play?” Asher muttered weakly. She then felt cold and immediately wrapped herself again with the blanket.

“Eh? An Empress-level elf can fall ill? That’s right, you have a high fever and your body is so weak. Is this due to a curse or some third-party factor?” Rhea checked the Elven Empress’ condition in amazement.

“Ashera has been sick since two days ago. I heard that the stronger a person is, the harder it is for them to get sick. Is she okay? She hasn’t been involved in any battles in the past three days.” Hea explained a bit. She then poked Ashera’s head. “Hey, Ashera, the Goddesses are here. Can you show some courtesy?”

“Eh?” Ashera opened her eyes and glanced to the side. She gasped in surprise when she saw that Hea’s statement was true.

“The Goddesses, uh, sorry for my impertinent appearance. Hea immediately kidnapped me without giving a clear explanation. Cough, cough…” Ashera coughed and shivered.

“No worry, you always wear skimpy dresses all the time. We’re not surprised if you sleep in only your skimpy underwear. However… This isn’t a curse, but poison? You were poisoned by someone and you didn’t realize it?” Rhea raised her eyebrows.

“What?” Ashera was shocked. She thought she was affected by the curse, but she was poisoned?

“That’s right. It’s a strong poison and it’s almost hard to detect once it enters the body. Has anything strange happened in the last few days?” Nell checked Ashera’s condition as well and found the same situation. She could see the mysterious poison had already spread throughout Ashera’s body.

“I fought on the battlefield south of the border three days ago, and I fell sick two days ago. The only thing that is noteworthy is that I eradicated a powerful monster of darkness vines.” Ashera could only remember the incident.

“If it’s accursed creatures, then you must also be cursed. However, this is pure poison. We can’t guess because maybe someone wants you to step down from the throne? Just be careful other times. Only trust the people you trust.” Nell shook her head and gave Ashera a little help.

“This is an eternal disease poison that will make you suffer even more if you don’t get rid of it immediately.” Nell explained a bit, then used her blessing magic to cure the sick.

“O-oh!” Ashera felt a warm golden light envelop her body. Her condition gradually improved, and she returned to good health.

“I feel grateful for your help. I will immediately reinvestigate if it is true that someone poisoned me. However, allow me to change my dress first. I feel it is inappropriate to appear before you with my current appearance.” Ashera propelled her body into a kneeling position.

“Go.” Nell allowed Ashra to change clothes.

Ashera hurriedly went behind the Heavenly Tree and changed her skimpy nightgown into her usual Empress Robe.

“How is it different from the previous one? Is she a shameless elf? An exhibitionist?” Xentia tilted her head. She didn’t see much difference between the earlier skimpy nightgown and the current skimpy dress.

Fortunately, Ashera didn’t hear that because she was focused on the Fairy Empress. “Empress Yralissa, is all well by your side?”

“Yeah, it was thanks to the help of the Goddesses and the dwarves. We managed to save our Capital City. Your troops are very helpful in the west and south. We appreciate your reinforcements. But you also have your own problems, Empress Ashera.” Yralissa lifted her palm.

She could see all individuals have their own problems. Even the Goddesses were no exception.

“We have a few things to discuss with you. This relates to a future plan that will be implemented in the next few days.” Lifa invited everyone to gather. She then shared information about the communication system being built, then gave some suggestions and input for the two Empresses.

After that, Rhea distributed some additional anti-curse mechanisms to the Empresses because her group wouldn’t involve themselves too much in mid-range and small-scale battles. Each force must eradicate the accursed without the presence of the divines.

Once the discussion was over, Lifa escorted Celes and Yralissa back to Fairy Continent via the divine mirror.

“We need to go to the Beastkin Continent immediately. Please be extra caution and contact us immediately if you encounter any strange occurrences like the Ruvoid avatar incident.” Lifa gave advice to Celes and Hea.

“Un!” Celes and Hea nodded in understanding.

“Good.” Lifa waited for Celes to enter the portal, then kept her divine mirror back.

“We’re leaving now.” Elena announced their departure. She wanted them to arrive at the Beastkin Continent for Luna and Lynn ASAP. The two Soul Foxes would collaborate with Fortuna to predict things, and everyone could devise a better plan.

*Poof*

Elena’s group disappeared before Ashera and Hea with a poof. They teleported and reappeared in a place above Evroria Palace.

“Vann, Yuuki, and the others are already here.” Elena could sense Vanessa and Yuuki’s presence via their spirit connection to Elysia.

“Let’s meet them. Maybe something happened.” Lifa scanned the surroundings and guided everyone to the private hall near the throne room.

Several guards stood guard there but only let the divine group pass.

*Knock* *Knock*

The door was knocked and opened without waiting for an answer from the host. Elena could see Vanessa, Yuuki, and the others attending a tea party held by Luna.

“Oh my, we have a surprising guests. Would you like to join us for our simple tea party?” Luna was pleasantly surprised. She then gave a gesture to the guards to stand guard outside.

“Master! We will soon catch up with you, but you have come here.” Vanessa felt both relieved and happy. She rushed to her master and hugged her master.

“Hmm?” Vanessa rubbed her face on her master’s bosom but felt something was different. Her master’s scent was still the same, but she could tell something was different. Therefore, she looked at her master’s face questioningly.

‘I am Elysia’s master. Spirit Ely is currently resting. Are you okay?’ Elena asked in a tender tone and gave Vanessa a head pat.

‘Mm, we completed the mission well, but there’s still a bit of a problem… Is Master Elysia okay? I felt a disturbance some time ago. Master Elysia injured?’ Vanessa was instantly enlightened. Elysia’s master was her grandmaster, and she could still act a little spoiled.

‘Yes, Ely was injured, but she’s healed. She just needs a little rest and all is well.’ Elena checked on Elysia’s state in the Elysian Realm periodically. Elysia was the one hugging her spirit as a cuddle pillow now.

“Thankfully. We are currently discussing the matter on the Beast Continent and Beastkin Continent, grandmaster. Everyone, please join us.” Vanessa guided her grandmaster to sit nearby.

“Welcome. I see there are two new members in your group. The young one is still innocent, and the old one is a bit complicated.” Luna poured a few cups of tea for the new guests, and her daughter shared it with them.

“It’s really inelegant on your part to call a senior the old one, Fox Empress. I can see you have a deep scheme in mind. Let’s hope it doesn’t get misunderstood or you will suffer terrible consequences.” Fortuna closed her eyes and smiled faintly.

“Fufu, I’ll take your advice. However, I’m sure my good daughter won’t consider my little scheme a bad thing. It’s a win-win, and she knows it. Is that right, Elysia?” Luna covered her mouth with an elegant movement.

“You’re a schemer, but I hope you don’t disappoint me. If you want to hurt us, do it early. And if you want to be on good terms, then do it until the end.” Elena stated her ground.

“See? Ely already knew about it~” Luna felt triumphant.

“You even acknowledged Elysia as your daughter… I don’t want to comment then.” Fortuna held her forehead.

“We have three individuals with special abilities. We will need your fortune telling, foresight, prediction, foreboding, and fate-destiny abilities later. However, we want to know what really happened on the Beast Continent and Beastkin Continent. I can see all of you a bit troubled by something.” Rhea looked at the little beasts, beastkins, then back at Luna.

“It’s a bit of a hassle, but the Emperors and Empresses on both continents can handle them. There is a rebellion group on the Beast Continent and the Beastkin Continent.

They are two different groups of troublemakers, but their goal is the same. They want us to stop slaughtering accursed creatures because they are not animals. They claimed that accursed creatures are just cursed beasts or cursed beastkins who wish to a place to live.” Theo raised his hand to explain the complicated situation.

“Yup, those monsters want a place to live and breed. However, their invasive and territorial nature threatens us. Not to mention, their superiority is really annoying.

Above all, they see us as food. Those rebellion groups are a bunch of idiots who want to protect the calamity monsters. They will realize their death will come from the ones they wished to protect.” Nell snorted contemptuously. She felt such a group should be at the forefront to fight the accursed creatures so they would know the accursed’s terror.

“Hmm, yeah… That’s just the spoiled’s random nonsense, but their force can’t be underestimated. We challenge them to make peace with the accursed creatures in a specific sealed area.

We’ll see if they succeed or end up being attacked. The invitations have already been given, and we will see if their representatives will come. Fufu~” Luna chuckled lightly.

“They will be slaughtered before they can say anything…” Fortuna could see the related future easily.

“Let’s confirm the truth in half a day. Those rebellion groups might work wonders like they always say. I also suggest the same to the rulers on the Beast Continent. We’ll see the results soon~” Luna smiled faintly, but her expression gave off a cold and cruel impression.
