Everyone took a few monts to separate the gifts and the deals. Everything was valuable items and treasures from the Divine World. Nevertheless, the deal packages held much more critical because Elysia would use them for future causes.
Apart from improving everyone’s overall strength, the requested materials would also be used to craft several divine weapons, artifacts, and many more.
The packages continued to arrive, but Elysia left them to pile up more before she would recheck them.
By the ti the day was close to noon, the test should be almost over. Elysia was about to go to the forest gathering ground, but a divine fluctuation suddenly ca from the crystalline amulet.
"Soone from the Divine World is about to arrive." Elysia stood up from her seat and floated out of the garden pavilion. Fortuna, gami, Miko, Yuuki, and Luna hurried to follow.
Elysia opened the Sacred Heaven Grimoire to check the Heaven Channel’s direct ssage from He-Dao.
Heavenly Dao: [I have sent a reliable ssenger at your request, my lady. She will be an excellent interdiary to bridge good relations between you and us. Please forgive because I cannot et you in person. I cannot leave the Heavenly Realm for now. However, I have already sent the first package to show my sincerity. Have you opened it? I hope you like it. I also hope you can go to the Divine World soon.]
"..." Elysia fell silent after reading that. He-Dao had so difficulties that she still didn’t know about, but she would discover about it soon.
After responding with gratitude, she put the grimoire into her storage space.
The crystalline altar was taken from the amulet space, and Elysia instantly moved all the packages into her storage pouch.
A few seconds later, a divine black light gathered in the center of the crystalline altar, converging to form a silhouette of a lady. However, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly beca a bit dark because of the arrival of the ssenger from Heaven.
The newly arrived lady’s figure was lithe and graceful, a silhouette that moved with a sinuous elegance reminiscent of a nocturnal predator.
Skin as pale as alabaster seed to absorb the surrounding darkness, creating a striking contrast with the obsidian garnts that stretched to form her like a second skin. Her attire was adorned with intricate patterns and subtle, iridescent accents that seed to shimr and co to life in the dimly lit atmosphere.
Long, flowing locks of hair cascaded like a waterfall of inky night, framing her visage with a wild and untad beauty. Each strand seed to absorb the surrounding darkness and reflect it in a subtle, smoky sheen.
Her eyes were pools of shadowed depths, seeming to absorb the light around them. Her gaze was an enigma, holding secrets few could fathom and bearing a seductive allure that drew anyone into a trance-like state.
Once her divine appearance fully manifested upon the mortal world, she bowed slightly to the presence of the Supre Goddess before her eyes. "Greetings, Supre Goddess of Mysterious Origin. This one is graced by the title Agent of the Dark Realm."
Elysia checked the newly arrived lady’s status screen. She couldn’t make a comparison with Vrelenia because the stats calculated by her appraisal eye ability had changed. Still, she wished to compare it with her stats as a benchmark.
Truthfully, if she ignored her questionable soul stats, she held ten tis the magical energy reserve of a 16th Rank Goddess. As for the other stats... she couldn’t compare them because her body stats were still at mortal level but with unusual magic values and energy reserves.
’Ely, don’t get hung up on stats. You already know that... The divine laws and techniques hold so much importance in the battle between Gods. We haven’t even discussed the unique skills and thods to boost those stats.’ Elena reminded Elysia of sothing they had known for a long ti.
’Mm, understood. I want to see the base stats of the authentic Immortal of Heaven. Has it been affected by mortal world law’s suppression? Her base stats are really high.’
’Well, you’re still 7th Rank, but your overall stats are much higher than an authentic God. Your stats are broken, especially your soul. It can no longer be asured for so reason.’
’Hehe, I’m not a paper tiger or glass missile anymore, am I? However, we still need to recover our magical power to our peak or beyond.’
’Got it. It needs to be at least 4.5E12 or above, then. Oh dear, you haven’t responded, and she’ll keep bowing, Ely.’
Elysia closed the status screens and then gave a response to the newly arrived agent. "Welco to our humble abode, Goddess Ara. Please raise your head. You may call Ely. Pleased to make your acquaintance."
"!!!" Ara gasped in surprise. She flinched slightly and then raised her head to look at the Supre Goddess of Mysterious Origin.
She never ntioned her na, only her title. Her Lord, Heavenly Dao, would never reveal it to anyone else, including the Heaven Rank’s mbers, because it was the rule he created.
As the agent, their real na would remain unknown for eternity. Their original divine title was also gone, and they would only use their title as the Agent for their na. However, the Supre Goddess of Mysterious Origin already knew her real na!? The omniscient divinity before her was called supre for a reason!
"Why do you look scared? Did I scare you?" Ely pondered about it for a mont. She probably scared the other party because a divine being in the previous world would hide their real na from anyone.
"My lady, I beg you not to ntion my na again. You will put in danger." Ara looked around warily.
"They are my people. It’s okay, that was my fault. So, the custom is still the sa even though the world is different. Only the closed ones can know one’s original na, huh..." Elysia put her hand to her chest, apologizing politely.
"No, the rule applies to the Agent of Heavens and our Lord only."
"Doesn’t apply to all Gods and Immortals? Can you tell why?"
"..."
Ara closed her lips tightly, refusing to speak.
Realizing this, Elysia could feel the Divine World was in a worrying threat of danger. If the Vrelenia’s Gods would hide their original na for fear of the curse from the Ruvoid Race, then what about this world’s situation?
He-Dao needed to include information about what she wanted to know the most. Yet, he only inford her of so miscellaneous matters of the Divine World and things that needed attention.
"Then, I’ll call you Amy for our convenience. It’s almost noon for lunch. Would you like to join us?" Elysia put the matter aside and asked Amy to go with her to lunch.
Behind her warm smile, she harbored a hidden intention to make this Goddess answer all her questions. She had to know the truth but couldn’t harm the trust and favor.
As an Agent of Heaven who served directly under Heavenly Dao, Ara, now Amy, the Agent of the Dark Realm, knew a lot about the Divine World’s hidden matters and Heavenly Dao’s secrets.
"..." Amy considered many things and accepted the invitation. She ca with determination and a holy mission, but she was helpless before the Supre One.
Not even her Lord’s previous reassurance could calm her restless soul. The Supre Goddess of Mysterious Origin was gentle and friendly. Despite the honor she received for this holy mission, she unknowingly beca wary and afraid of the Supre Goddess.
However, all those matters that troubled her mind vanished shortly after she joined the luncheon.
Despite her faith and the oath that bound her to her Lord, everything no longer mattered when she succumbed to the seemingly ordinary wine.
Elysia poured another glass for Amy, and the drunk Goddess drank it slowly to savor the wine’s unique, exceptional taste in every sip.
This wine was not just any wine, but the special one from Lifa’s collection, the potent one that could drive even an Ancient God dead drunk.
"Fwahh! That’s amazing... I’ve never tasted wine this delicious and strong before. Have I arrived in Heaven? Oh no, I received a sacred assignnt from my Lord... I need to represent... represent what? Who’s my Lord? I’m tired of work and want a peaceful holiday! But, the Heavens are not okay..." Amy wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.
She was trying to rember how she got there and what she needed to do. However, her clarity and judgnt were already muddled, and the unknown magical energy had unknowingly made her fall into the devil’s den with no way back.
"Dear friend, you really like wine. Did you know that your na in the other world ans wine?" Elysia shook the wine bottle. She poured everything down to the last drop into Amy’s glass.
"Is that true? Yes, I like wine. So, my na ans wine? My entire life is wine. I might be the reincarnation of the best wine..." Amy drank her wine until the last drop, then fell on the table.
After a delicious lunch, the wine already won her over.
The world felt so peaceful, and she wished to sleep. After eons of hardships, she never experienced this kind of dream-like feeling ever again. A comfortable and relaxed sleep... she craved for it.
Unfortunately, Elysia had other plans for the defenseless, drunk Amy. She brought her face closer and whispered. "My friend, can you enlighten from my confusion?"
"Uh-huh? My wine friend, you are a good wine, and, of course, I will help you. Hic!" Amy hiccupped a little, absurdly drunk.
