The Elysium's members turned pale when the gigantic monster emerged from the exploding moon. Half the world was enveloped in all of a sudden darkness.
To kill the Ruvoid God's 3rd form, their master had to borrow the power of nature, earth, and positive energy from tens of millions of prayers. The energy flow and viscosity of the world decreased, and it might take hundreds or thousands of years for it to be replenished.
Their master had obviously killed three Ruvoid God's forms at a heavy price, but there was still the 4th form there!? What if there was a 5th, 6th form, and so on? It would never end, an endless struggle.
Their enemy grew stronger after each death and revival, but their master grew weaker. If this continued, then there would no longer be any hope.
If not for Elysia's early telepathy, Luna would have ordered her entire crew to come to the rescue. They did realize that there would come a time when Elysia would be injured after her fierce battle against the Ruvoid God, but no one knew if it was that bad. Elysia was dying after the last move!
"Luna, we need to save our master! This was not in the plan!" Vanessa exclaimed in worry.
"Our master lost? Even after Ely fused with the Goddesses? What about the world's fate then?" Ella almost fell into despair.
"No, we need to save Ely first! We can still lend our power to her through spiritual connection, right!?" Sylvia also went into a panic.
"Please calm yourself down a bit, everyone. We will live with our master and go into the afterlife with her upon her death. The situation is still in the truest grasp. The Goddesses have over a million plans to ensure victory in this final battle." Luna tried to calm everyone down, but she wasn't sure what was happening.
She couldn't use her foresight ability to the Goddess and Elysia's direct situation. The Ruvoid God's fate was also beyond her reach to peek at. She could only glimpse the world's possible future, but it kept changing.
"Did Master Ely or one of the Goddesses tell you anything?" Yuuki tried her best to remain calm. She had complete faith in her master and was not afraid to die to follow her master into the afterlife.
"Yes, Ely said everything is still in the planning, and please wait for further orders. I can only guess that the Goddess Elysia who fought against the Ruvoid God in the past day was not the real Elysia." Luna could only come up with a guess.
Although the Goddesses had discussed various situations that might occur to all of Elysium's members, there needed to be more detailed information for all plans.
"What do you mean, mother?" Lynn felt her mother didn't lie, so she felt everything was still under control?
"Master Ely has a spiritual connection with us, but why don't we feel the usual fluctuations to the injured Elysia over there? I reckon she is Master Ely's divine avatar nurtured by the Goddesses' divine laws." Luna rubbed her upper chest to calm herself down. She was also uneasy if Elysia didn't tell her just now.
"Now that you say it, I can only feel a faint spirit connection to our injured master. Celestia and Zera's presence is also absent in the entire battle. So, Master Ely still has several trump cards behind her sleeve! Everything is still according to our master's plan!" Yuuki put her hands together in relief upon that realization.
The girls also felt relieved that the situation wasn't as bad as it seemed. However, it differed from most powerhouses standing guard in the sky to support the world's great array formation.
They witnessed the massive cosmic creature approach their world. Despair and fear slowly crept into their bodies and minds as they realized that the almighty Unknown Goddess had been defeated by the Ruvoid God.
The Gods and Goddesses might have been slaughtered, so what was the point of this struggle then?
Fortunately, half of the world's sky was covered in pitch-black darkness. The inhabitants had no idea what was going on after the last Ruvoid God's arrogant cry. They thought it was a bluff because they believed in their respective Patron God/Goddess.
...
"Ely, it's time." Elena spoke in a tender voice.
"Yeah." Elysia faced the Goddesses who supported her to the end with a resolved gaze.
Nell was the first to move. She flapped her angelic wings and approached Elysia's face.
"Please eliminate that Prysm Sephiran, Ely. Use my full power as you please. I am counting on you." Nell kissed Elysia's forehead and fused her entire existence to the one she swore her loyalty to.
"Leave it to me." Elysia replied with a reassuring smile.
"That is his real body, the final form. We will fight against countless monsters from him later. But I will always be with you until the end." Lifa extended her hand to the Nature Realm's portal, then kissed her godchild on the cheek. Her avatar and main body became particles as she fused everything to Elysia.
"Yeah, the mini planet with countless eyes." Elysia nodded in understanding.
"It's my turn now. I have few words to say, but we must win this battle. Our new journey will begin after eliminating that huge stepping stone!" Fortuna was a bit embarrassing.
She kissed Elysia's forehead to trigger their fuse technique, then her body dematerialized into light particles. A moment later, she arrived at the Elysian Realm.
"Mm, our new journey through the starry sky of the universe." Elysia extended her hand to touch the remaining bits of light particles.
"I shall assist you, Ely. Let's kill that thing together." Ai hugged Elysia and rubbed their cheeks together.
"Thank you." Elysia hugged Ai back, then put her hand on her upper chest. She felt warmth every time Ai entered the Elysian Realm within her body.
"Fuse ceremony~ But, I am your sharpest weapon and sturdiest shield. We shall destroy everything that gets in our way, master." Zera transformed her body into a large, long sword. She floated on Elysia's right, and Celestia soon followed on the other.
"I am in your care, Zera, Celestia." Elysia touched the two pitch-dark weapons on her sides to form an additional spiritual connection.
"Master... I'm all yours." Rhea didn't say much. She grasped Elysia's cheek, then exhaled her breath into Elysia's mouth.
"Mm..." Elysia appreciated the sentiment but still needed to get used to Rhea's fuse approach. It wasn't the first time anymore, but she still felt embarrassed.
"I'll leave everything up to you, My Lil Ely. We will assist and protect your back. Let's go all out at least once. It's time for more destruction, hmm~" Elena hugged Elysia with a melodic hum.
"En!" Elisia smiled brightly.
"..." Elena put her hand to Elysia's chin. She did something similar to Rhea, but she was the bolder one. Afterward, she gave a seducing smile and winked before entering the Elysian Realm.
"You are as naughty as ever." Elysia put her hand to her lips.
"Wow~" The Goddesses, especially Rhea, were amazed by Elena's boldness. However, they were more surprised because Elysia seemed to take it for granted.
Elysia put any unnecessary thought aside and activated her new divine magic battlesuit.
Her hair had become longer and turned pure white due to the fuse. Still, it gradually became slightly golden as she was enveloped in an aura of divinity from the inside out.
The holy chakram with hundreds of shard blades emerged behind her, and the four-pointed star rainbow aurora halo became visible above her head.
Elysia stepped out of the separated dimension, leaving a water ripple behind.
...
"!!!" Ashera was already trembling as her heart screamed to escape immediately. However, Elysia was injured and unable to move behind her.
The massive rock-like monster with hundreds of purple water-rippled eyes came over to her.
She couldn't breathe because of the terrible sense of oppression, her spirit felt like it was being squeezed, and her body was being crushed. It was hard to maintain consciousness before this kind of cosmic entity. So, Elysia was fighting against this kind of monster all alone!
"The lowly mortal who can still stand straight before my presence? Your strength is not worth mentioning, but your willpower is quite impressive. That Goddess is so important and precious to you, right?" Prysm cursed at the female elf before him.
"..." Ashera couldn't answer.
"Step aside. Stay behind me." Elysia's divine avatar made a pulling hand motion. She teleported Ashera behind her and nullified the mental pressure.
"Look at your current state, Elysia. You look miserable even though you've reached the pinnacle of this world. What should I do, hmm? Maybe, I can kill that female elf right here to break your heart first? Or shall I corrupt you and turn you to be my puppet first? The world protector will be the one who will destroy the world she protects. It's a beautiful sight to behold!" Prysm exclaimed with great enthusiasm.
"You are so sick as always, Prysm. I choose option three, kill you and be done with it."
The air rippled like water. A Supreme Goddess who looked very much like Elysia emerged from the void, catching the injured Elysia in her arms.
"You-" Prysm wasn't sure, but it proved true. He was not the only one who had multiple forms. But the injured girl was definitely not Elysia's avatar. If his vision didn't betray him, he could see the soul and spirit over there. Then, who had he fought in the past day?
