“That might happen, but I believe her father wouldn’t do such a stupid thing under the current circumstances. He and his entire research team are taking care of their manufacturers to create communication technology and supermassive cannons for the battleship as requested by the Goddess of Life.” Even if someone tries to do something ridiculous like the case in the desert, it’s beyond anyone’s control.” Xero shrugged his shoulders.

He had no idea what all the devils and demons were planning. All he could know was the major event on the Devil Continent.

“I think the Heretic God is speaking the truth. Presumably, the Ruvoid God’s avatars are the ones we are talking about. The tomb raiders are taking the remains of the influential people of the world because they will raise them up to fight their own people. Could it be that the Emperor of the forbidden city was the result of this tomb raiders awakening ritual?” Rhea put her hand to her chin in conjecture.

“I think the situation is not like that. The matters regarding the Emperor of the underground forbidden city is different from the mentioned tomb raiders.” Elysia shook her head as she had a different opinion on this case.

“…” Everyone waited silently for the continuation.

“Resurrection of the dead is a sacred ritual where there are terms and conditions that must be met. There is a price to awaken the dead. As for the case of the tomb raiders, it does not fulfil one of the most important factors in the resurrection ritual. The dead’s remains have long been dead. So, what will be awakened is only the mindless undead. They may still possess some of the skills of their glory, though.” Elysia explained in a few details. Lifa was the expert in this field, but she was familiar with awakening and resurrection.

“I see, that makes sense. The Goddess of Life also can’t just resurrect the dead. What can these lowly tomb raiders do? However, are they the Ruvoid God’s avatars you speak of?” Xero folded his arms and nodded in understanding.

“The possibility is very high. The two Ruvoid Gods who are still sealed in the moon have sent their nine avatars to our world. We have eliminated one, and one has been captured.” Rhea nodded in confirmation.

“So, seven more, huh… Are all their avatars imitating Elysia’s appearance?” Xero looked up at the moon on the eastern horizon.

“They imitated Elysia’s appearance?” Alexander widened his eyes.

“We haven’t confirmed everything yet, but we have met three of them. They use Elysia’s appearance as their base form. However, they can take any form they want since they are intangible puppets.” Rhea heaved a subtle sigh.

“I see. Are you going to hunt down the rest?” Xero glanced at the Goddess of Light with slight curiosity. He knew she was so overprotective of her precious disciple and would feel displeased when those filthy puppets imitated Elysia’s appearance.

“No, we won’t actively hunt them, but we will still encounter all of them within this one month. I want you to be wary of those puppets because they can be even more troublesome than Emperor-level accursed creatures. Elysia and Ai will always be with us, so anyone who resembles Elysia out there is definitely the Ruvoid God’s avatars.” Elysia shook her head.

“Affirmative, I will adjust the Human Continent’s defense system against the Ruvoid God’s avatars. I would appreciate it if we had some of their traits in case they no longer dare to imitate Elysia’s appearance.” Alexander takes out a notebook.

“We will explain in-depth the situation when the other Gods and Goddesses arrived here. We will also inform the rulers about this. I’m afraid, the inevitable day will enter its peak stage in the next month. We must speed up our preparations or else it would be too late.” Rhea raised her palm to signal others to be patient.

“All right…” Alexander nodded, but he glanced several times at the group of girls who had arranged a small picnic beside the pavilion.

There was a girl who looked a lot like Elysia but with a distinct aura of darkness. It was like he saw Elysia’s counterpart. Based on the implied statement of the Goddess of Light, that girl named Ai. Maybe, she was Elysia’s twin sister?

Alexander wondered but decided not to ask for now. One thing he could be sure of… Ai was already at the Empress level.

Upon closer look at the entire girl’s group, Alexander was surprised to notice the presence of the Fox Empress, Luna Evroria. He previously paid no attention to everyone because he focused only on his granddaughter, the Goddesses, and the Heretic God.

“What did that sly vixen do? I was already suspicious because her daughter could enter the divine group, but she is also included now?” Alexander rubbed his beard as he pursed his lips.

“Master Ely, you haven’t eaten yet. While we’re waiting, let’s eat with us first!” Vanessa tugged at the end of her ‘Elysia’ sleeve.

“Ah, um, all right.” Elena rubbed her tummy. She could feel hungry now because of Elysia’s body. However, she would drag Elysia along like Elysia used to do with her. “Master, let’s join us~”

“Uhm…” Elysia didn’t feel hungry because she was not bound by the mortal needs in her manifested spiritual body. However, she would gladly accept the invitation.

Rhea joined in on the picnic, leaving the two men facing each other in the pavilion.

“…” Xero and Alexander had nothing to say. No one invited them to the girl’s picnic, but things were now getting awkward. For more chapters, please visit pand(a-n0vel.c)om

“Here, please accept this and enjoy the meal. The Sea God and Beast God may take some time to get here.” Elysia made some hot food fly onto the table with magic, serving it to Xero and Alexander.

“Do you think I need food like this?” Xero raised his eyebrows.

“I don’t know, and I don’t care. It’s just a courtesy, and don’t make things complicated, you idiot.” Elysia heaved a subtle sigh and replied with a dismissive hand wave.

“…” Xero was silent for a moment. He felt a bit strange since it was usually Elysia who offered food to him, but he felt strangely happy since it was Elysia’s master. Well, it was just food that Elysia made with the girls. He just had to receive the courtesy food.

“The great devil who happily eats man-made food. I thought you were despised by the other races except devils and demons.” Alexander snorted sarcastically.

“Food is still food. I’m not Dylan with his extreme hatred for humans. However, he will also eat food made by Elysia. He doesn’t really hate humans thanks to her.” Xero shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

A while later, two people came to the Holy Church with a holy knight guiding the way. They were a prince-charming guy and a curious girl.

The man brushed his navy blue hair and smiled charmingly when he found the girls having a picnic.

“Ah, you were there! Hi, I came to visit. Eh, Ely, are you feeling better? I thought you were still injured. I brought you some elixir from the bottom of the sea.” Dorienne waved her hand high but was stunned to see Elysia’s perfectly healthy state.

“Who is this pink elf? An elf who surprised him was wearing a decent dress?” Ai narrowed her eyes. She knew the one who had just arrived was the Sea God, but she had no idea about this long pink-haired girl.

She once heard a rumor among the girls that the Sea God was a great pervert, so she was even more alert when that Pervert God arrived.

“Eh? Ely in half? Did I feel confused because of the enchantment of the mainland?” Dorienne rubbed her eyes in confusion, but she still saw two Elysias.

“Welcome home, Dori. You came all the way from the bottom of the ocean here with the Sea God just to see me? Thank you very much for your concern, but I’m already recovering. Please sit down. I hope all is well by your side.” Elena raised her hand to say hello.

“O-oh! Of course, you’re welcome. It’s been quite a while since we met, all is well on our side. Sea God was very reliable and saved the seven seas single-handedly.” Dorienne sat on the picnic rug with a pleasant smile.

“Ai, she is Dorienne, the pink mermaid from Aquatic Ocean. She is not a pink elf.” Sylvia whispered close to Ai’s ear.

“A mermaid?” Ai blinked her eyes several times. She then looked at Dorienne’s long legs, then took a picture book from her Space Bag. “Shouldn’t mermaids be like this?”

“Oh, this is the book I lent you. Yup, mermaids are like this. They have a fish tail when in the sea, and a pair of legs when they land. Not all of them have that ability, though?” Sylvia explained a bit.

“Un, I actually forgot about how to turn my fish tail into a pair of legs. However, the Sea God helped me. It’s a bit hard to walk on, and the land can get really dry sometimes. I need to keep myself moist.” Dorienne nodded in agreement.

“But, are you able to breathe without difficulty? Hm? You’re wearing your usual pink mermaid bikini under your dress, but why are you covered in mucus?” Vanessa examined the pink mermaid, just like a curious cat.

“Kyaa! Don’t suddenly peek into my dress like that, Vann! Uuu, why do I need a dress? Is it not good to just wear my mermaid suit? But, yes… We can breathe here. Also, it’s not mucus, but a natural skin protective fluid. It’s not in the water, after all.” Dorienne blushed as she pulled her dress down. She also took a little distance from the curious cat.

“Lewd mermaid. It looks kinky, and maybe on par with elves. Your dress is semi-transparent now, hehe.” Sylvia covered her mouth as she couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Uuuh, this fabric dress can’t handle my skin fluid.” Dorienne looked down and sighed.

pA(nd)A no ve1 “Whoa, I’ll join you for lunch then. I see everything is still fine on your side.” Oceanid greeted Xero casually, then took a piece of food from the table.

“Just some complicated matters that suddenly occurred.” Xero shrugged his shoulders.
