"!?" The Ruvoid God was still feeling a bit dizzy, but he immediately stabilized himself in midair.
*Bam*
A remote barrier cracked on impact. Both the Evil God and the Ruvoid God were quite shocked for different reasons.
"Someone is hiding here to ambush me? Is this part of your plan? How weak." The Ruvoid God channeled his curse energy into the barrier.
*Crack* *Crumble*
Like a thin glass wall under high pressure, the Heretic God's barrier was simply crushed.
"Ho?" The Ruvoid God smirked to see one figure of the red-eyed black man. He waved his hand to deliver a follow-up attack.
"Here, catch this." Xero threw a white ball so casually.
"Hmm!" The Ruvoid God ignored that and simply sliced the ball in half. However, it instantly expanded and wrapped itself around him. "Wha-"
Those were the Ruvoid God's last words before he was encased entirely within the big white ball.
*Thud*
The white ball fell to the ground, and the Evil God nodded in satisfaction at that. "Not bad. At least, this ball will keep you there for a while."
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
The ball protruded here and there as if a beast was trying to free itself from the ball's shackles. Unfortunately, the white ball was so unique and elastic. Dimensional law and brute force wouldn't be able to destroy it that easily.
"That's pretty impressive, but how long will that thing keep him locked up for?" Oceanid folded his arms while looking down.
"Who knows. I created this thing specifically to help me fight some annoying creature that can move through dimensional gaps. It's still a prototype, so I don't expect much from this thing." Xero patted the jumping, white ball.
He then looked at everyone who was still in the sky to say hello. "Anyway, nice to meet you again, the Goddess of Light. It's a bit surprising to me that you can spot my whereabouts so easily. It seems, your group has grown from just two Goddess to four divine beings, hmm."
"And, you're still alive huh..." Xero looked at the turquoise haired girl with hints of azure at the ends of her hair.
"Hmm." Rhea didn't answer or respond. She just stared at the Evil God down there with her observant eyes.
As mentioned a few days ago, the current Devil God possessed several accursed monster's traits, and he changed his title to the Evil God.
"You're supposed to destroy them, not join them. Do we need to destroy you since you're already one of them?" Rhea asked expressionlessly.
"I am the almighty who masters my own power without any influence. Even though I have become the Evil God, I am still the eleventh rank member of the Divine Order." Xero snorted as if he was the superior one.
He had some nightmares and bad experiences because of this turquoise-haired Goddess, but that was in the past. None of that would affect him now because of his new power.
"Oh. There's no other effect after you get accursed monster's traits other than your body color getting darker and those gray tattoos all over your body? I thought you would lose your mind." Nell squinted her eyes. She was still upset and irritated to remember that night.
"That white ball will confine that Ruvoid God for some time, won't it?" Elena was more focused on the strange white ball. The Ruvoid God was still there, struggling to break free even though his efforts seemed fruitless.
"Ruvoid God? Well, yeah..." Xero gave a slight nod.
However, the Golden Goddess just turned around and flew away with the black-haired girl as if ignoring him even though he hadn't finished talking to her yet.
'We have to resuscitate Sylvia as soon as possible. Rhea and Nell once said, a living being that continues to be in a berserk state for too long has a great risk of reducing one's sanity.' Elyia conveyed her concern via private telepathy.
'En, okay. We will help that poor devil girl. Rhea and the others will watch over that white ball and that Evil God. Oh yeah, I have an idea to make a person return to the conscious even though the mind is in an unstable state.' Elena had a brilliant idea that came out of nowhere.
'How?' Elysia was feeling intrigued.
'You are considered by Sylvia as something of value, right? She even has a reaction to you even though she is in a berserk state. Let's use this to wake her up. So, all you need to do is--' Elena briefly explained her plan.
Elena and Elysia then landed not far from the battlefield between Sylvia and Magnus.
An explosion and small earthquake occurred along with several sharp earth spikes.
"Hahaha! I already killed Devil Emperor Dylan with both hands, I wish I could send you to him for a reunion. All for my glory!" Magnus exclaimed with a happy laugh. He had control over the battle and kept cornering his opponent.
"Ugh, weak pig human. You talk a lot." Sylvia bit her lower lips and dripped some blood on the ground. A blood spike instantly formed and shot toward the fat man.
Unfortunately, those attacks were unable to penetrate the defenses of the earth armor protecting her opponent.
"Nothing can break through my absolute defense now! It is you who are weak, devil. Accept this and die!" Magnus shot like a bullet to punch his opponent in the face.
Sylvia crossed her arms in front of her face in a defensive stance.
Unfortunately, a violent shockwave suddenly appeared out of nowhere, right in front of the armored man and sent him flying like a pinball.
*Bam!*
"Blurgh!" Magnus crashed into the boulders.
'Well, that's not bad Ely. You gave him a hard slap right after he said that nothing could penetrate his armor, hehe... Anyway, now is the time. Do that now and I'll keep an eye on you if something goes wrong.' Elena patted Elysia's head proudly, then she gave a gentle nudge to Elysia's back.
'En.' Elysia nodded and went to Sylvia. She then called out the name in a soft voice. "Sylvi."
"Huh?" Sylvia felt a little confused. She was ready to take a hit, but it didn't come. She lowered her arms and saw a girl with black hair with purplish-blue eyes standing in front of her with a gentle smile.
"You? Who? What do you want to do? I'm warning you not to try to get in my way or I'll kill you." Sylvia just threw a bluff and bared her teeth. Yet, she was hesitant by the familiar yet unfamiliar girl in front of her.
"Please come to your senses and return to Sylvia I know. You will only sink further if you continue in the berserk state. Your father is not dead, he is still alive. He-" Elysia tried to persuade with only words. Still, it was ineffective because Sylvia immediately attacked her before she finished speaking.
"Shut up! You're a human and it's obvious you're going to protect the pig-man. Then, get out of the way." Sylvia swung her claws to slash at the girl in front of her.
'Ely, now!' Elena gave the signal at the most opportune moment.
*Splat*
Elysia's barrier was torn apart, and a red liquid bloomed like a rose. Sylvia's eyes widened in extreme shock to see that. A glimmer of light and clarity immediately returned to her eyes.
Her soul was shaken to see the girl's body slowly slump to the ground. Her mind gradually returned to clarity with anger and other negativity set aside.
"E-Ely, what the hell did I just do? No, no, this can't be happening. Please hang in there. I won't let you die. I-I hurt you, no, no..." Sylvia stammered with trembling hands.
She approached Elysia, who was lying on the ground with a lot of blood. But she didn't dare touch her friend's frail body because her hands seemed to be wrapped in claws.
Therefore, she just crouched down next to her friend and immediately rummaged through her Space Bag to find the first aid kit.
"Hehe, I'm glad to see you back." Elysia chuckled weakly and extended her hand to stroke Sylvia's cheek.
"No, no, please don't say anything just yet. My father-, he- he is no longer in this world, and I don't want you to leave me too." Sylvia's mouth trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"It's okay, I'm not that weak." Elysia glanced at the red liquid on the ground guiltily.
It was all just a little scenario. Who would have thought that one of the three Elena's plans would come to fruition as expected?
It did look like Sylvia was the one who injured her. Though, she only broke an invisible bottle of tomato juice to make it look like she was bleeding profusely from the attack that didn't even scratch her.
"Huh?" Sylvia was stunned to see the blood evaporate, and her friend sat down without any injuries. She forgot that Elysia was a Goddess disciple... Such a wound was healed in an instant.
Even so, that wouldn't change the facts and guilt in her heart. She hurt her friend with her own hands!
"Ely, Ely, please forgive me. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please don't hate me. What just happened? Why did my form change like this?" Sylvia held onto both of Elysia's arms to prevent the latter from leaving her.
"I accept your apology. Your father didn't leave you. He's still alive. Look over there, he's just lying there and enjoying his time watching you." Elysia pointed her finger at the white-haired man who was lying on the ground.
But, for some reason, that Devil Emperor immediately closed his eyes as if he was pretending to be dead again.
Seeing that, Elena felt somewhat annoyed and flew closer to that irritating Devil Emperor.. She simply kicked him like a ball and sent that man flying toward Sylvia.
