After Gaia and Fortuna returned, Elysia left Earth imdiately, returning to Quadtria.
The Elysium mbers, core disciples, and representative elders were still in their recovery ditation sleep on Xentia’s spaceship. Only the Goddesses returned to Elysia’s side imdiately because they didn’t need long to return to their pri condition.
"Ely~" Fortuna hugged Elysia all of a sudden.
"Rua!" Sakura yelped as she accidentally got thrown from Elysia’s hand. She floated back, voicing her protest to Goddess Fortuna.
"I’m glad to see you happy, Fortuna." Elysia hugged Fortuna back. She looked up to gaze upon Fortuna’s starlight angelic golden eyes, wondering what Fortuna wished to tell her.
"I have picked up my servants and all of my properties from the Divine Palace. My servants will help to reform my new private world. I originally wanted to show it to you when my beautiful world was finished being decorated, but I think I need to invite you during the construction. Please bless my private world with a na!" Fortuna stated her desire, looking at Elysia with expectation.
"Mm, sure. Let’s visit Fortuna’s private world and grant it a na." Elysia looked at her Goddess sisters, inviting them to go together.
Similar to Nell’s Firmant Realm, Fortuna’s new private world used a bracelet as the realm key. Fortuna showed the white bracelet to everyone and brought them to her new private world.
"Welco back, milady. The halls have missed your presence, and everything has been prepared for your return. We stand ready to serve you once more." Twenty divine servants greeted respectfully in two neat rows. They welcod their Goddess with a respectful bow.
In the past five years, they had lost count of how much they missed their Fate Goddess. They felt abandoned, and because of that, they considered the God King as a bad guy for sending their Goddess to the faraway realm on a dangerous spy mission against Elysium. And today, the Goddess they served returned and took them away to join the Elysium Pantheon.
"They’re all fancy birds..." Darkness rubbed her chin as she observed Fortuna’s servants. To be honest, she already knew a few of them. Fortuna was a divine owl, and these divine servants possessed various bird scents.
"Are you Lady Darkness, the blood bat demoness?" The chief maid raised her head, surprised to find the blood bat demoness had changed drastically in just five years, even changing races to their kin.
"Yeah, that’s . Long ti to see, chief maid. After Fortuna’s absence, the God King made you work non-stop. The workaholic... I can see why you people are favored by Fortuna a lot." Darkness put her hand on her upper chest and cast a skeptical gaze at Fortuna.
"This may be a bit rude to ask, but why don’t you have a blood bat aura anymore? You look like one of our kin now." The chief maid felt doubtful, but she was sure Darkness was no longer a blood-bat demoness anymore.
"Yeah... I died and reincarnated as a vampire finch. Thanks to her influence and karma. I literally beca a bird like you guys too." Darkness sighed.
"I’m sorry for your loss..." The chief maid bowed slightly to express her condolence. She knew Darkness left for the Darkness Realm that day and never returned, but to think that Darkness got swept away by the chaos and died along with the destruction of the Underworld...
"But, it’s still a good cause and effect. You are now alive and favored by our master." Fortuna gently smiled. She then brought her servants before her Goddess sisters for an introduction. Since they would join Elysium Pantheon, they had to pay their homage and kowtow before Elysia, the Supre Goddess they should serve above all.
After an introduction and a master-servant ceremonial rite, Elysia asked Fortuna’s servants to return to their feet. She wished to see Fortuna’s new private world, and these servants did not have to remain on their knees.
They were currently on the floating altar, hovering five hundred ters from the mainland. The land below was filled with fertile magical forests, towering mountains, serene lakes, long rivers, and lush hills.
Although the natural beauty was amazing, it was still a brand-new world with barely anything in it. There was no fauna, only flora. The trees and plants in this realm were given by Lifa and Rhea. Therefore, this private world had many resemblances to the Nature Realm.
Elysia used her sacred vision to peer deeper into the world-level structures. She then returned her gaze to Fortuna. "Fortuna, I have a good na for this world."
"Please bless this world with the na, Master Ely." Fortuna put her hands together, feeling excited as she knew Elysia’s sense of naming was always interesting.
"Miracle is aligned with your true purpose and aim for this world. Therefore, Providence Realm will match this world’s foundation and future that is in harmony with good fortune and destiny." Elysia spread her arms, proposing the most suitable na for Fortuna’s private world.
"Providence Realm..." Fortuna was stunned for a second. It might sound simple, but the na was truly in sync with her fate and fortune divinity. The realm under the providence of the Goddess of Fate and Fortune, naly her, and also Elysium.
"That sounds like a perfect fit. What do you think, Fortuna?" Lifa nodded in agreent. The na was truly perfect for Fortuna’s private world.
"Eh-ah, yes! I love it. Thank you for your blessing, Master Ely. We shall reform and decorate this Providence Realm into a beautiful realm to match its na." Fortuna regained her composure. She grabbed Elysia’s hand and kissed it.
Feeling not enough, she also kissed Elysia on the cheek as if she was a girl saying goodbye to her mother when she was about to leave for work. After that, she bid her farewell and left with her twenty divine servants as they had to put the tasks and works into motion. The first step they would do was create so magical golems that would work for them tirelessly.
"Hmm~" Elysia waved her hand. She reflexively touched her right cheek, feeling a bit embarrassed but happy because she felt her Goddess sisters started to show their affectionate love to her. As a family, she appreciated their love, sentints, and concern, but now they did it so openly.
"Oh-ho~ our Ely is feeling shy. I thought you were used to receiving our love." Elena poked Elysia’s cheek with a teasing smile.
"Huhu, I’m good. We’ll explore outer space tomorrow morning, and we should get a proper rest now." Elysia chuckled softly.
She ant what she said, and it was mainly directed at Gaia and Fortuna. She sent a ssage to Fortuna to take a proper rest and avoid overworking at all costs.
After getting a positive response from Fortuna, Elysia brought her Goddess sisters back to the Sacred Sakura’s humble abode. The night was already pretty late, and they went directly to bed.
---
"W-well..." Gaia didn’t know what to say. Elysia put her on the bed, covered her with a warm blanket, and gave her a goodnight kiss on her forehead. She felt like she was being treated like a child, but strangely, she didn’t hate it. "Goodnight..."
"Mm, goodnight." Elysia waved her hand with a soft smile. She sent a notification to Fortuna before she went to her bed, cuddling Ai to sleep.
Ai slept soundly next to her twin sister, but what she encountered in her artificial dream space was the recollection of her dark, lonely past.
Similar to Elysia, she wouldn’t have dreams in her sleep, but Elysia tweaked them and made them go to the dream realms of other family mbers or simply uncover the buried past mories.
’Why did my dream bring to these mories?’ Ai asked in wonder. She was akin to a savage beast during those years in the Boundless Realm, cold, dark evil, and bloody.
After hundreds of years of living in darkness, soone ca to her with so much brilliance and light. It was Elysia, the one who changed her dark life. Their first eting wasn’t good, and she captured Elysia, mistaking Elysia as an interesting monster that copied her appearance. She wished to enslave this creature that resembled her in appearance as her property to accompany her, treating her loneliness.
The ti they spent was very short compared to her hundreds of years of solitude, but she had grown attached to Elysia.
They did many things together, but the final journey they took in the Boundless Realm was a grand showdown to challenge the realm master, the invincible planetary cosmic creature, Seraph of the End. Elysia nad it Sera.
They were trapped in the Boundless Realm, and only by challenging the realm master could they escape from that realm.
’How could I forget...’ Ai trembled at the sight of their final battle, Elysia’s sacrifice to save her from the death sentence.
Elysia would have died if it weren’t for Sera’s favor, reverting the eaten Elysia back in shape from ashes and particles. Although it was only Elysia’s partial spirit, if it got destroyed, the real Elysia in the outside world would never wake up. That was the beginning of how Sera put extra care into Elysia to win despite all the odds. They got away easily from the Boundless Realm afterward.
"!?" Ai flinched as she was woken up. Elysia was still asleep by her side, cuddling her to sleep.
They were so close and Elysia’s warmth was right in her arms, but the sense of loss from Elysia’s sacrifice in her dream reminded her of her fear. She was so afraid of losing Elysia, her light.
As she looked at Elysia’s serene angelic face closely, she felt sentintal and emotional for so many reasons. She hugged Elysia even tighter subconsciously as if she was protecting her light from the wind and storm.
Honestly, she really wanted to make Elysia help people less and avoid big things like saving the world. After the Nirvana Great War, she should do sothing about it.
"Your big sis will protect you." Ai whispered softly and slowly drove back to her sleep. This ti, she went to join Elysia’s dream which was another family mber’s shared dream.
