Chapter 163: Two for One and One for Two
Chapter 163: Two for One and One for Two
"What do I want you to do? Simply put, for now, there is none, young girl." The Little Goddess shook her head slightly, then thought back to the answer this young human girl had first given.
"This is indeed strange if you don't know either... You just saw the portal to my resting place, and suddenly, my true form awakens from my eternal slumber? Actually, who are you, hmm..." The little Goddess observed the young Priest as if she knew something more than anyone else.
This young girl was gifted with more than extraordinary talent. Perhaps all possible magics and elements could be easily mastered and used at will.
Not to mention, she could tell this young girl kept a lot of secrets that even her eyes couldn't even see. Whether this young girl realized it or not, this young girl was a living treasure that would definitely continue to grow without something the so-called limits.
Perhaps, if she invested in this young girl and helped this young girl in a good relationship, the past failures and devastations would not be repeated. Or maybe "it" could be destroyed soon, for the betterment of the world.
Or even, the source of all problems and disasters could be solved. The Goddess's real body awakening from her slumber was concrete evidence that encouraged her to believe more in her assumptions.
Unfortunately, the little Goddess's train of thought was unknown to Elysia. She just thought, the Goddess of Blessings asked to introduce her own self.
"With all the blessings, graces, and gifts, my name is Elysia Avery. A first-year student at the Deterry Academy of Magic, and a newly enrolled Deacon." Humbly and respectfully of introduction, Elysia saluted politely with a slight bow.
Not the expected answer, the corner of the little Goddess's lips twitched slightly. Well, who would admit when asked just like that?
"Nice to meet you, Elysia Avery... I will not question why I could wake up just because of you or what actually happened to achieve it. But you need to know, you are so special, so many talents hidden in your little body. Do you realize that, Elysia girl?" The little Goddess flew back, circling Elysia as if she was figuring out more than what her powered eyes could see.
"Hm? I know that, but isn't it a blessing from you?" Elysia felt a little confused. She questioned it to make sure whether her arrival into this world was the work of this little Goddess or not.
"Eh?"
"Hm?" Elysia blinked her eyes innocently at the confused little Goddess. It seemed this little Goddess didn't know anything.
"Eh, ahaha... Of course, it is the blessing that came from me. I am a Goddess of Blessings. Most of the talented humans in the Human Continent who came to the Holy Church were blessed by my blessings. You are no exception, ahaha..." The little Goddess floated around Elysia once again, laughing awkwardly.
She didn't know at all! She never even bestowed more than the fifth-grade blessing on the most talented human being. This young girl harbored so much more than that! If her avatar or herself didn't do that, then which God or Goddess endowed this girl with this level of talent!?
The little Goddess thought for a moment to recall the gods and goddesses who might still be alive. However, Elena in the Soul Realm snorted as if she was mocking the puny Goddess. It was the nickname she gave for the little Goddess.
'Humph! What is that? So lie and fake. This puny Goddess has nothing to do with us being dumped into this world, Ely.'
'I don't know either, Sister Elena. We asked that to be sure, but the results were quite disappointing. It seems the Goddess of Blessings can't hear you...' Elysia felt a little helpless.
If Elena's words were heard by the Goddess of Blessings, the latter would be furious. Luckily it wouldn't be heard by the third person.
'Of course, that weak power will neither terrify nor defeat my will.' Elena puffed out her chest proudly. She was glad they still had privacy for free speech.
"Very well, Elysia girl. You are a human with the highest talent I have ever given to humans. I will make you my disciple. Now kneel before me and greet your master."
The little Goddess floated back in front of Elysia, speaking in her lofty voice that was magnificent and somewhat oppressive.
But that was still 'it should be' and not absolute. While Elysia just blinked her eyes innocently with a somewhat perplexed expression, utterly unfazed by the divine power of the little Goddess.
"With all due respect, please forgive me in advance, is the 'kneel' you mean to convey the devotion, loyalty, or subservience of the subject to you?" Elysia could not only do what she was told, but she also had strong principles of life and beliefs.
She could not act carelessly and ended up trapped, not when she was in the presence of a Goddess who held the pinnacle of power in this world. And again, she was still a disciple of her alias master, right? Even Elena was very supportive of rejecting this puny Goddess's offer, followed by various reasonable reasons.
Even though 'the supposed master' was herself or could be replaced by Elena, she shouldn't be devoted to others and make the Goddess of Blessings her master, right? If a human was appointed to be the disciple of two Goddesses, whether it was real or not, she didn't know the outcome of her original plans at all. She did not dare to take that risk.
"Yes, that's right. Isn't it an honor for you to be a disciple of a divine being named me? Your talent will not be buried in vain, and I will take care of you for everything I deem necessary." The little Goddess felt a little surprised. Her lofty aura did not have any effect on this human girl.
This was her real body and her true form, not just her avatar in counterfeit form or in someone's dream. Supposedly, this young girl would immediately kneel and greet her as this young girl master, but apparently not.
"Once again, please forgive me, I have no other intention, but I already have a Goddess as my master." Elysia gulped and put her hand on her upper chest. She bowed slightly in apology.
"Ho? Are you already a disciple of another goddess? Who is she? I definitely know her, and maybe we can talk to her as soon as possible about this." The little Goddess put her hand on her chin, asked in wonder, then assumed another, and she didn't want to give up just yet.
Elysia gulped once again because she was playing a dangerous thing... She didn't want to lie or give a straightforward answer. She was now in a dilemma, both panicked and a little nervous.
'Ely, just answer with your scheme at that time. Let's just say we're from the outside world, and I'm your master, hehe... We can't secure this Goddess with your master's presence hehe... We didn't know what she will do to us later, Ely.' Elena suggested instantly.
She decided it was the best solution. With that honest answer, she hoped they could have a good relationship with the Goddess of Blessings without having to be her real disciple.
Elysia quickly agreed and was sure it was the best for her to do at this point. "Before I answer that, can you promise, what I say in response to that will be safeguarded only to you? My master and I don't want anyone else to know too much about us..."
"Hehe... I am not anyone else. The secret relationship between the gods and goddesses has always been maintained only between us. Not many mortals know more than we want them to know. I grant your wish, Elysia girl." The little Goddess chuckled lightly. It was hard for Elysia to tell if it was happy or something else.
"The name of my master is Elena. The Goddess who came from the outside world, and I came with her. We didn't know why we came to this world because we were suddenly thrown into this world a little more than last week. Do you know anything about that, the Goddess of Blessings?" Elysia spoke softly and carefully.
The little Goddess smiled wryly. If so, her earlier awkward lie was discovered, right? This young girl was a disciple of a foreign Goddess, and of course, this living treasure in the form of a human girl was a blessing from a Goddess named Elena, right?
However, until the moment her thought got there, the little Goddess suddenly got a realization that she had known for a long time.
A prophet that some Gods and Goddesses use to see into the distant future, searching for a solution to something called a disaster that would destroy more than a part of them and their world.
[The foreign existence shall come and solve everything, two for one and one for two.]
Could it be, this young girl and her master? Whatever it was, she had to find out more. Now she was awake for some reason, and she could have done much more freely.
