After Elysia and Elena inspected various part of the sealed domain, they decided to return to the tree of life because night would come.
Time passed so fast, all of them skipped lunch and headed straight for dinner.
"My big sister and Lifa can be saved, right? They have suffered so much backlash and deterioration in power. I feel useless." Nell put down her empty bowl and turned towards the Goddess in the crystal.
As if to understand Nell's sadness, Elysia came up with her reassurance words. "I'm sure they'll be fine. Purifying that much curse takes time. We'll need your help tomorrow, Nell. The sealed curse in half of your big sister's body is quite worrying."
"En. What happened after I fell because of that curse? Did my big sister fight against a God-level accursed monster?" Nell wondered in mind. If she looked at the curse suffered by her big sister and Lifa, then it was possible.
"We'll find out about that tomorrow." Elena made several futons and lay down on one of them.
"Yea, Lifa is resting now." Nell glanced up and heaved another sigh of relief. She was delighted that there was one more divine existence that had survived.
"Nee, little one. Can you tell me about what caused your overall strength to drop drastically? Your big sister and the tree of life are the same. However, it's not for Evil God. He's still fine and powerful." Elena leaned her cheek in her hand, asking lazily but also curious.
"Is that so? It was because that stupid Shiro died by humiliating himself and returned to his safe place as a dark substance. He hadn't faced any accursed monsters above Saint level, but he also couldn't bring himself back to life because of the curse." Nell flew near Elysia subconsciously and landed on the good girl's hand.
When Elena asked, she often ended up being bullied. So, she needed to find refuge before anything else.
"Well, the accursed monsters above Saint-level carry the worst curse. Each of their skills can weaken your overall strength, and the curse that will come when you kill one of them is terrible." Nell held Elysia's thumb because Elysia went over to Elena and sat close to each other.
"I see... How many Emperor-class accursed monsters did you slaughter until you suffered nearly a hundred thousand years of deep slumber?" Elena considered several things in mind for future precautions. After all, she and Elysia only knew about the Saint-level accursed monster.
If Saint-level was already that troublesome, what about the two levels above it? Those monsters would obviously be a lot more troublesome than one might imagine.
"Uhh... I only managed to eradicate two Emperor-level monsters, six Saint-level, and countless Spirit-level minions or below." Nell tried to count, and it was the number she could remember.
"Hmm... That amount came with the help of another God or Goddess, right?" Elena added.
"Hum." Nell wasn't ashamed to admit that. She indeed didn't fight alone.
"Then, what did you do to get rid of your curse? Is there any secret method? Please tell us the details for our reference." Elena brought her face closer to Nell, but the latter was terrified by it. The little Goddess flew towards Elysia's shoulder right away.
"There is no secret method. I just suppressed the curse with my holy magic desperately. Because I didn't get too many curses like my big sister, my curse disappeared by itself, but it took a long time with a large amount of damage." Nell took cover around Elysia's hair. She didn't want to be bundled up in magic silk threads like a cocoon anymore.
Elena just smirked and returned to relax on the futon. She enjoyed seeing the little Goddess's expression. After that, they continued their evening conversation until they decided to take a rest. There were many things to be done tomorrow, after all.
The days changed, and the morning just welcomed the day. At that moment, Lifa was waiting on one of the chairs at the round table. Elysia and the others immediately joined in to sit there, within the protection of the multi-layered barriers, of course.
"Madam Lifa, may I call you by that name?" Elysia opened the conversation because no one wanted to talk first.
"Of course, young girl." Lifa nodded with a smile. She was happy to see such a polite girl but straightforward.
"All right, Madam Lifa. It's a little difficult for us to start a conversation with a question or anything. For that reason, may you first tell us what happened on your side?" Elysia put her hands on the table with a faint smile. She was adept enough for this kind of formal conversation.
Lifa looked at her daughter for a moment, then turned to look at Elysia. "Sure."
For the next few moments, Lifa recounted the events from her perspective.
Although she couldn't help much with her avatar, she was there until all the cursed creatures were sealed underground in various places.
The narration she delivered sounds like the sequel to Nell's story but more fierce. Everything turned for the worst when God-level monsters descended into battle.
There were only thirteen main enemies who controlled Divine Law. Each of them was a monster with extraordinary intelligence and abilities beyond reason.
Aside from an extremely deadly curse, those God-level monsters were the source of all calamities.
The thirty-three Gods and Goddesses of Vrelenia fought thirteen God-level monsters from the unknown world.
Their battles took place in a different dimension. Thirteen Gods sacrificed their Private Realm's Core to minimize the world's destruction due to that deadly battle.
Unfortunately, the results were tragic. Only six survived until now, and three God-level monsters were still alive but sealed.
To eliminate ten God-level monsters, ten Gods sacrificed themselves to use the forbidden magic of their Divine Law. Their spirits and souls perished because of their last resort's price. Meanwhile, twelve Gods and Goddesses ended up dying from the curse.
"Ten Gods sacrificed themselves to bring down ten accursed monsters into nothingness? Twelve of us had died? And, three sealed God-level accursed monsters?" Nell muttered weakly.
She knew very well about the sacrifice for forbidden magic, vanishing without a chance to reincarnate. The ten Gods perished completely.
"They are honorable divine beings. We failed to protect our world from that invasion. We may win the battle, but we lose the war. As you can see in this world, history is being eradicated by them, and the language of our world is simply changed. Then, racial strife with unknown reasons." Lifa shook her head helplessly, feeling dilemma.
"Wait, is Aefasy the language of those accursed monsters? Something like history will be rewritten by the victor?" Elena added.
"Accursed monster?" Lifa frowned.
"Yes, that's the name of the curse-bearing monsters. Ruvoid Race to be more precise." Elysia nodded her head.
"Hmm? Why do you know such a thing, young girl? Is it because of those beautiful eyes? The truth will always reveal itself in your eyes, hmm..." Lifa closed her eyes and nodded.
"Ah-umm..." Elysia stuttered at once and chose not to continue. Perhaps, this level 255 old granny could easily tell about sacred vision due to the countless years of experience.
"Well, for the previous question. No, Aefasy is not the language of the Ruvoid Race of the unknown world. It is a language that was created because the majority of world history was erased." Lifa switched the topic at once because she didn't want to make Elysia awkward.
"Wait, what happened to Zadtris and Hera? They are two of the strongest in the Divine Order. Twenty-two died with respect, but six survived? That just doesn't fit." Nell hovered close to Lifa and waved her hands wide for attention.
"Hm-hmm... They worked together to seal one monster in this world and the two most terrifying monsters on the moon. Their divine aura suddenly disappeared, but I assumed they were just missing in action." Lifa heaved a sigh as she looked up.
"I- I see..." Nell flew down and sat down at the table. She could only assume that the two strongest divine beings had fallen on the moon to seal the two most terrifying monsters. After all, their divine auras had suddenly disappeared.
"Two monsters in the moon and one in this world, huh... We need to think of a way to deal with that one first. The sealed areas will break down in a few months." Elena tapped her chin, then turned to the sealed Goddess. "Let's get back to our current problem. About you and your daughter."
"Sealed areas are about to collapse, huh..." Lifa also looked at her daughter with some thoughts. "Can you completely cure my daughter?"
"Your daughter has many curses, and all of them are terrible. She would have been dead a long time ago if it weren't for your Life Energy support, old granny. We can only get rid of all of your daughter's curses." Elena shook her head. It would be possible to recover from the curses, but not a full recovery.
"I know that. My daughter's soul is severely affected by the curse. I will deal with it with my Divine Law. Young girl, let's make a deal." Lifa turned to Elysia with a gentle gaze. She already predicted the response.
Elysia and Elena were astonished. They didn't know anything about the Goddess of Nature's soul damage or anything because they simply had no knowledge of it.
Meanwhile, Nell was the most astonished. She didn't understand why Lifa wanted to make a deal with Elysia and not Elena.
