Chapter 289: Golden Light in the Dark Night
"Unfortunately, no, let me help you out of your predicament." Elysia stopped at a safe distance and stretched out her hand. She made no further small talk and burned the devastating curse energy with her magic while refining some of it to level up.
A fiery golden flame burned the Evil God and the black aura around him. It was like a pill being refined inside a layered cauldron barrier. At that moment, several strands of the blackish energy also flew towards Elysia and vanished somewhere upon contact.
Elysia was aware of the Evil God's absorption skill because a hint was said by him.
However, it seemed that the skill in question had certain limitations, and Evil God had already exceeded its capacity.
The Evil God understood what was coming to him, his body was burned by golden flames, but he felt nothing but warmth. The corruption energy invading from within slowly began to dissipate. This six-winged Goddess helped him instead? Truly different from the Firefly over there.
The eternal golden light seemed to illuminate the endless night, trying to prevent the Evil God from turning into the Evil Accursed God. The thunderstorm began to die down, the earthquake suddenly disappeared, and the hail subsided.
Elysia's feat was witnessed by many parties, but she didn't know it yet. It was like the Omnipotent Goddess who came down from heaven to show mercy to a world stricken with disaster.
After two minutes had passed, Xero regained his clarity. He extended his hand to the six-winged Goddess. "Stop, don't help me any more than this. I can handle this myself."
Hearing that, Elysia only gave a subtle nod. She harvested quite a lot, five levels up.
It was just the payment for her help, definitely not stealing. Too bad, many curse energies were burned into nothingness because the corruption was going so fast, and there was really no other way.
Not to mention, the purification process required time and concentration, so what could she do? Elena was absent to help her after all.
Elysia checked Xero's state once again with her sacred vision. When she was sure the curse energy in Xero's body was stable enough, she flew up into the high sky.
These inauspicious, ominous clouds needed handling to keep them from spreading everywhere. The drastic drop in temperature was terrible enough, and what would it do if left unchecked?
"Elena, what are you going to do again?" Nell rambled on again after taking down a silk bandage that covered her mouth. She was still quite surprised that this Goddess magic she couldn't understand was powerful enough to overcome curse energy and so on.
To put it bluntly, she didn't understand what the Goddess of Light had in mind at all. Earlier, chatted with the Evil God like an old friend, helped him, and now what?
Meanwhile, Elysia didn't have a chance to answer Nell because her mind was already full on several things. She was in a brief discussion with Elena while preparing to use her magic.
'Can such gravity magic work to deal with these pitch-black clouds, Sister Elena? It has spread so far, perhaps tens of thousands of kilometers.' Elysia brought her palms together and created an energy orb there, according to Elena's suggestion.
'Yes, I'm sure it will work. You can form an energy orb from the controlled gravity magic mass to suck up all those dark black clouds. However, please be careful, Ely. It's similar to a micro black hole.' Elena gave her full support in her confirmation.
'En, I understand. I'll be right back after this.' Elysia stared at his hands. She polished the energy orb that she formed from a mass of controlled, strong gravity.
As big as her palm, the energy orb changed its color from pure gold to jet black with a hint of gold on the outer layer. It was like a hole that would suck everything into nothingness.
"Elena, what are you-" Nell just muttered until there and shut her mouth shut right away. Her eyes widened as the mysterious energy orb was released into the dark sky by the Goddess of Light.
The tiny black hole floated into the midst of the pitch-black clouds. It reacted instantly and expanded slightly as the gold layer's shackle was no longer there.
*Swoosh*
The strong suction power of the orb sucked in all sorts of things around it. Elysia immediately formed an enormous magic circle right under her tiny black hole. So it would only suck in the pitch-black clouds, not the things below it.
The golden light that shone brightly in the darkness of the night was like a liberator for mortals who were restless and depressed by calamities.
Almost all the beings who witnessed the incident with their own eyes immediately stared at the gigantic golden magic circle in the sky with dazzled eyes.
The magic circle's patterns and intricacies were like a piece of art, so beautiful and mesmerizing. They looked at it with reverence because they knew the omnipotence of the divine existence that caused it.
One part of the cloud was sucked in, and the cloud masses in a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers were similar. It was like a series of thick dark clouds, bound together, engulfed by the tiny energy orb until the ominous clouds disappeared from the night sky.
The moonlight returned to illuminating the dark and cold ground with its radiance, decorating the night sky as a sign that the disaster was over. The stars flickered with enthusiasm as if to show their presence to comfort the lost souls.
Elysia shackled the miniature black hole with a layer of energy, then brought it back down into her hands. After staring for a few seconds at the energy orb, she stopped supplying her magic energy to it.
Slowly but surely, the pitch-black turmoil faded and disappeared. No one knew where the dark clouds had gone. Even Elysia and Elena were clueless.
After that, the energy orb was revoked. Elysia looked up at the starry night sky for a few moments. Then, she floated towards Xero, who was hovering and staring silently at her.
The Evil God didn't do anything even though the six-winged Goddess flew at him. Well, she stopped within a safe distance.
He had absorbed all the curse energy and made that energy his new perfect power. After that, the sudden strong urge prompted him to test his strength on this Goddess who possessed the dark gold energy aura.
"Congratulations. That's the absolute power you were hoping for." Elysia hoped for the strong ally, despite her sense of vigilance and worry.
"Heh, foolish. Sun, you're on the Human Race side, and you're helping me, the devil? Ridiculous, I want to laugh. Do you believe all my words and stories just a moment ago? What a stupid girl, even though you are a top-tier Goddess. Have you forgotten that the Human Race and Devil Race are enemies? Keke..." Xero grinned like a villain who had tricked his biggest enemy. He put his hand on his face while staring at the six-winged Goddess with contempt.
"Huh? Sun, me? What do you mean by that blatant lies? Was it you who caused the enmity between the races? How about you, Nell? I thought you and Xero shared some past history." Elysia became confused because she saw the Evil God's ferocity of dishonesty, it was a lie, and she knew it. Therefore, she needed clarification from the other side.
Xero was stunned once again. This Sun Goddess knew that he was lying, even though he played a villain role really well? Shouldn't she get angry, then attack him?
He only used that as an excuse to fight against the top-tier Goddess to test the immense power flowing through his body, but it was thrown back right away?
"Uhm, yes, Shiro is a bully, but he's just a troublemaker. Well, you see... I've regained my awareness since eight thousand years ago, even though my true form is still in deep slumber. In the last six thousand years since Shiro's awakening from his temporary death, this bully hasn't sparked anything outside his continent. So, you see, mm... I don't think racial hatred is caused by this stupid devil." Nell pouted her lips and clarified it without delay.
She didn't know what happened in the Devil continent, but she knew this Evil God was not the cause of the accusation in question.
"Then, why did he declare like that?" Elysia continued with a follow-up question, representing her and Elena's confusion.
"I don't know. Shiro's behavior is pretty random. Maybe, he just wants to piss you off for a fight?" Nell only answered with a guess, but she suddenly looked at the Evil God with a look of anger and resentment. "Oh, right! He beat me up just now because I came to rebuke him for his stupid actions! He deserves some beating here and there. He even said that he would kill me if I didn't leave."
"O, the Goddess of Light, please beat that stupid devil black and blue to uphold justice." Nell looked at the Goddess of Light with pleading eyes.
"Bully, stupid? What did you say, Firefly? Is your head filled with empty air? You tried to interfere with my grand plan, and you refused to leave. You forgot the compassion I gave you. Don't you realize? In your much-weakened state, I can kill you at any time. And here you are, still rambling on as usual." Xero gritted his teeth in his defense. For some reason, the complaint from this airhead, selfish little Goddess, triggered him.
