Chapter 118
"Hey you fucker, move the fucking car or I’ll go there and beat the shit out of you!"
A muscular man driving a black BMW was yelling at an old man who was blocking the road with his slow car, apparently, it stopped midway and wouldn’t move no matter how much he tried . Other people were annoyed too but didn’t yell like the muscular man they just glared at the poor old man .
When Lucy sensed the muscular man and all the others, she was surprised to see that they all are weak, just simple mortals like in Astria, perhaps a bit weaker .
She couldn’t use appraise but with her sense, it was easy to probe them . Delia was half-conscious and floating behind Lucy with the help of Miya . One of her wings was nowhere to be seen and the other one seed to be withering .
"W-we are we?"
Miya was surprised by the sky-high buildings and the cars, it’s the first ti she saw things like these . The only one who imdiately recognized the place is Lucy .
Arthur told her many things about Earth and when she saw his monts, although it was blurry, she managed to get a glimpse of so of the advanced technologies in here .
"It’s Earth . "
Lucy’s tone was of absolute certainty so Miya didn’t doubt her but Delia did . Although she was half-conscious, she could still speak and hear so when she heard an unfamiliar na of a world, she was alard .
"E-Earth? *cough* There is no such world with that na . "
"There is and we are in it . It’s Arthur’s forr ho before he . . ---, it’s his real ho . "
The little Saly gazed at the multiple cloth shops and the different types of cars . Everything was so different from Astria of the Underworld .
Unlike the Underworld, Earth had almost no Nether Energy but there was Mana and the concentration of Mana here is more than Astria but if it is like this, how co no one from the present people discovered it in the past?
Arthur clearly told Lucy that Mana was just a thing in stories or gas on Earth but there is a huge amount of it here so she started having doubts about the world .
’Perhaps it’s not the sa world? Just a small resemblance?’
The muscular man kept shouting but none of them comprehended what he was speaking, they just stared at the surroundings from the narrow alley .
Lucy scanned the area around them but except buildings of all sorts and kinds, those cubic cars and countless people, there were no empty places .
She stretched her sense further and managed to find an empty building which was actually a desolate factory . A dark talisman appeared from her storage, without hesitation, Lucy threw it on the ground and by the next second, she and the rest were teleported to the factory .
It was one of the few teleport talismans Arthur did . With the help of Zodiak’s notes and so experints, he managed to create so of them and passed all of them to Lucy since he doesn’t need them .
In such a new world with no one who could comprehend the language and no ho to live in, this was the best place she could find for the ti being .
"Lay her down on this . "
With a wave of her hand, a luxurious bed was taken out of her storage ring . Miya moved Delia on the bed without an opposition, she was the weakest out of all of them except Lucy and she knew they were in a strange world so the best thing she could do now is stick with them .
The double-headed lizard stayed close to Lucy and Saly and rely scanned the surroundings whilst remaining silent . Its mission is to protect both of them, especially Saly and unlike them, it had an ability to turn invisible so no human could see it . If it wants, it could pass undetected by people at the Divine Realm or less .
It looked ferocious with its body made of bones and its black flaming tail and long sharp fangs, it was a monstrosity but none of them was afraid of it as they were used to seeing monsters, however, if any of the humans in earth saw it, they would freak out and might even pass out .
Lucy walked near the sweating Delia who was on the brink of death and passed her 4 kinds of Potions . Each was high-quality and each did sothing . Arthur was not stingy and in fact, he gave Lucy astronomical amounts of potions, talisman, and other things . She had storage rings inside her personal storage rings that had weapons, armors, and artifacts . It was useless to use them but he insisted on her having them in case of ergencies such as this one .
"Drink all of them . "
Delia gazed at Lucy for soti before she nodded and drank the potions but it was done with great difficulty so Miya stepped in and gave her a hand . The Holy Goddesses was in a terrible state, it was fortunate that her Dantian or ridians were not broken or destroyed by that attack but it would take her so ti to recover as her wings were torn off . She would recover to her full strength in a couple of months but to regrow the wing it would at least take a decade if not a century .
The potions were quite effective as Delia’s face color regained so of its redness . She definitely looked much better and she could finally move a bit . She sat up on the bed and leaned on a big cushion behind her .
"So you said we’re on Earth?"
Her question was obviously directed at Lucy, who only nodded in response . Delia pondered for a bit before asking another question
"You also said your husband was from here but you offered no explanation about the important stuff . Is it a dangerous world? Are there other gods? Sovereigns? Or perhaps more powerful beings? Seeing the strength of your husbands and his connections, I feel uneasy when I know that I’m in his world right now . "
While checking the empty factory and the dust all over, Lucy kept scanning the place while replying to the curious Delia .
"As far as I know, it’s not a dangerous world . Arthur told that all of the humans here are mortals and there is no such thing as magic or cultivation, they rely on science and live peacefully with no wars whatsoever . It’s basically a paradise on the surface . "
As Delia was going to breathe a sigh of relief, the last sentence shook her a bit .
"On the surface . . . . . ?"
"Yes . Humans here may be weak but they have numbers and advanced technology that can deal damage to even high-leveled people . I don’t know if they can hurt a god-like you but I think that’s far-fetched, what’s more, botherso is that despite being weak, they are intelligent and cunning, the world is corrupted by money and power, just like any other world . "
Delia remained silent as she pondered about what Lucy said, if there is no threat to them then it’s fine but it’ll be quite botherso if there are other aggressive gods, especially if this small world belongs to one as most gods don’t like anyone who invades their territory .
After sorting things out inside her head, Delia nodded and added .
"I never heard of this world and I have gone to countless worlds, being summoned or going intentionally . I can feel so Holy Magic in the surroundings but it’s almost non-existent as far Holy believers, there is none here so there is only one explanation . It’s either a private world of a mighty god or reclusive one, or it’s a deserted world or in a worst-case scenario, it’s an abandoned world . "
This ti, it was the calm Miya who asked, she wanted to go back to the Underworld and hearing the word ’abandoned’ made her despair a bit .
"Yes, abandoned . An abandoned a world is a place where the gods deed useless and fruitless, it’s a discarded world that was sent away from the other worlds . There are many reasons to abandon the world, no mana source or similar Energy or if it’s going to extinguish itself soon, it’s corrupted or poisoned by a strong poison that could destroy it etc . . . . . "
Silent ruled the place as all of them were worried about what’s about to happen . Only Lucy remained calm and said after a long silence
"Either way, we have to adjust until Arthur is back or we find a way to go back where he is but the best solution, for now, is to remain here, I know he will co here . "
Earth was not a big place compared to Astria or the Underworld, in fact, it’s too small . For soone like Lucy or Delia, it could be crossed in one hour, literally . A few dozen kiloters a second is their normal speed, so crossing the Earth or traveling from a country to another is done in a few seconds .
Later that night, after ascertaining no one saw them . Lucy and the rest went to a forest a few hundred miles away from that city . Lucy couldn’t understand the language but because her intelligence was astronomically high and with the help of the system . Hearing a bit allowed to her understand a few words such as Hi and Thanks .
The system said it was Korean language and like the language in the Underworld, learning it with the system’s help the intelligence stats is very easy .
Lucy built a normal house with the earth magic, it was only temporary as they needed a place currently . Delia was recovering quickly with the help of the potion albeit the ager presence of the Nether Energy . Saly was feeling down because Arthur was not here so Lucy stayed with her and comforted her . She just woke up a few days ago and didn’t enjoy her father’s presence enough and yet they are separated again in less than a week .
She didn’t cry and held in here and she knew the situation was complicated, she was intelligent enough to understand that crying right now won’t do anything good so she obediently stayed in the house with her mother .
She would go with lizard and roam the forest . Except for a few deers, she didn’t see anything dangerous, moreover, the deer was very weak and caught by her in a flash .
She had enough food in her storage to live for a few years but she still liked hunting so she brought a deer back and roasted it to eat with the others . Although they were a bit depressed, eating a good al raised their morale a bit .
Even Delia, a god, ate with them even though she could live without eating . Most gods if not all would usually eat, not to because they were hungry as they obviously didn’t feel hungry but because it was tasty . So food was even priceless and legendary chefs were respected in higher-Realms .
