Chapter 838 Recovery Before Ascension (2)
Some deities make Gio feel uncomfortable and restless. He needed some personal space and didn’t like to be surrounded by strangers.
“...” Gio made a quick decision as he couldn’t keep himself calm for long. He knew these pesky busybodies wouldn’t stop bothering him.
“You will get revenge from me later, dragon man! Aaargh, so cold!” The fourth deity that Gio threw shot up into the sky while hugging his body. It was a snowy winter region, and the temperature in the atmosphere was much colder, piercing his body.
“Wack, wack! wack!” Cherub burst out laughing when Gio sat back down.
The four deities returned to the hot spring one minute later with annoyed and furious expressions. They will teach that rude dragon-like man a lesson in respect and courtesy.
“It’s useless if you talk to him. He only listens to Elysia, her master, or that green-haired Goddess. You’re just wasting your time. However, do what you want to do. It will be entertainment.” Xero grinned as he watched the entire event unfold.
“Hah!?” One of the four deities frowned and ignored the implied warning. He simply invited his comrades to act with him. “Let’s beat this lucky boy so he can respect seniors next time.”
“Hmph, you are just big, but so rude. feel my fist!” Another furious deity clenched his fists and attacked Gio without further ado. The other three immediately followed shortly after.
“Grrr!” Gio let the four deities hit his body for a moment. He felt no pain due to his impenetrable defense. Still, he felt highly irritated that his early warning was simply ignored. He didn’t know what they were saying, but this assault was something severe.
“Foolish. He is immortal and his defense is so troublesome, yet you attack him for that ridiculous rage.” Xero was amused by the four idiots.
The four deities realized their punches did not affect that dragon-like man. It was already too late when they learned something was off.
Gio once again stood up and gave a bear hug to the four deities. He then lifted the four of them with both hands and threw them very high into the sky with his whole physical force.
*Swoosh!*
“Aaaahhhh!!!”
The four deities shot into the sky at a breakneck speed. They were like a missile that shot past the speed of sound and continued through the atmosphere.
“Hmph, you divines from other worlds are really unique. I want to visit your world someday.” Zhao Fu grinned in amusement. A nature spirit then came to deliver several jugs of sake. He accepted it and immediately took a taste. “Oh~ Wonderful. Thank you, little one.”
“It’s fine if you want to come to our world, but don’t die there. We are about to face the biggest world war in history. The world is united to face one common enemy. It will be lively.” Xero rubbed his face and brushed his white hair back.
“The world is united over one opponent? Who can pose such a threat when you have several mighty Goddesses?” Arthrozan was intrigued by the information. He once almost destroyed the world far in the past, but his threat could not make the world unite against him.
“The same Cursed God as the chaos in Heaven Realm. He came with his entire race, and many Gods. Our world was destroyed once a hundred thousand years ago because of their invasion. It’s not just a matter of being strong or weak. They have very high resistance to magic, and their curses are very dangerous even if you are God level.” Xero looked at his hand and clenched it into a fist.
“So, that Cursed God fled to Earth, huh... Isn’t it too dangerous to let him run rampant? No wonder the God King joins the Divine Association and fights the Council on a large scale.” One of the deities muttered and nodded in understanding.
“So, how was the state of your world after the great war a hundred thousand years ago? Were those cursed monsters exterminated?” Zhao Fu frowned. He couldn’t imagine if their world was invaded by a dangerous foreign race like the situation in that other world.
“They were exterminated, but not completely. The remaining was sealed for a hundred thousand years, but the seal has begun to break. So many powerful Gods have died in that great war. I wonder where they are now? Have they encountered the true death, Or have they reincarnated somewhere in another universe?” Xero looked up at the starry sky beyond the thick fog.
“My condolence. Your superior world is even overwhelmed by the invasion despite having powerhouses like that powerful Goddess.” Zhao Fu muttered under his breath. He is saddened by the information.
“...” Arthrozan went silent, but he had some thoughts in mind.
A few moments later, one of the deities asked. “I see that your group consists of several Goddesses and angels. Is it true that your world only has female gods as the highest ranking power holders? No male gods?”
“What a strange question. I don’t know what you are trying to achieve by asking, but the strongest God I know is a man. He is the one who invented the sealing technique in the first place. Sun and his disciple are the exceptions.” Xero answered casually, but he just remembered something.
“Hey, don’t you know someone named Elysia? Her master is the extremely powerful Goddess of this world, right? Do you know anything about them?” Xero immediately asked as the thought crossed his mind.
“Elysia, huh... That Golden Goddess is her master, huh? I don’t know much about them, but Earth Mother seems to know something about them.” Zhao Fu scratched his head.
“That woman was the one who defeated you, right? How could a Goddess of that rank not be known?” Arthrozan frowned.
“I don’t know. It’s just that things will remain a mystery, and you shouldn’t uncover the other’s secret with no permission, just as you don’t want your secret to be uncovered by others.” Zhao Fu shrugged his shoulders and threw a few jugs of sake at his chat buddies.
“...” Xero accepted that jug of sake and didn’t speak anymore.
He then gestured to the little black dragon on Gio’s shoulder to soak in the hot spring to recover. Unfortunately, that little dragon did not immediately understand before he gave a specific signal by making a little projected instruction.
Cherub thought for a moment, then plunged into the hot spring. That place was nice and warm. He was comfortable swimming around.
A few moments later, the previous four deities returned to the hot spring with a slight burn and a charred smell. There wasn’t a single thread covering their bodies because it might have been burned by the friction of the air in the atmosphere.
None of them tried to do anything stupid to retaliate against Gio’s rudeness. Some of their friends warned them not to do something reckless. Yes, not now, but no one knew what would happen.
“The men’s hot springs are so rowdy. Are they having a sword competition, or maybe the most glorious rod contest?” Darkness wondered, but she didn’t really care. She rested her head on the edge of the hot spring and glanced sideways. “Why are we soaking in the hot spring while wrapping ourselves in towels? Isn’t that supposed to be a night pool party with everyone naked?”
“Do you have any complaints? Everyone can understand easily, but not your bird brain? Please have some courtesy. That’s fine if you want to wear a swimsuit. We’re here to recuperate.” Lifa opened one eye and glanced at this noisy succubus.
“Sigh, well... We’re soaking and meditating to recuperate, not just to playing around.” Darkness raised her arm and stroked her smooth jade-like skin. “Hopefully my skin doesn’t get wrinkled from soaking and meditating here all night.”
“You won’t.” Gaia responded curtly. This recovery spot is not an ordinary hot spring, after all. She prepared this place with great care.
“...” Erina felt a little uneasy as she glanced left and right. She was currently around influential individuals from Guardian of Dream. They all were gorgeous but looked intimidating and seemed like they would swallow her whole at any moment.
Her only consolation was Elysia’s circle of friends. They talked to her and reduced the tension significantly.
“Nee, Erina. You almost broke through to rank five, didn’t you? Perhaps, you’ll be ranking up soon tonight. Can you feel the overflowing abundant magical energy seeping into your body?” Elysia spoke in a whisper-like voice.
“En, thank you for inviting me to this wonderful cultivation place, Ellie. However, it seems that I need to immediately meditate and reorganize my foundation.” Erina was feeling very grateful.
She knew this kind of extraordinary cultivation place with abundant pure energy could not be obtained by mere strength and treasure. Yet, she received these privileges and facilities free of charge. She had to use this opportunity to break through to the next rank.
“Fufu, then please meditate and focus on your cultivation, Erina. You also can cultivate now, Mio. Worry not. We will protect and take care of you. Just ignore the surrounding noise and close your eyes in deep focus. Noise seal.” Elysia instructed Erina and Mio to do according to her suggestion.
They obeyed like good girls and closed their eyes. After that, Elysia put a talisman on their foreheads. That way, they could cultivate in peace without being disturbed by any noise.
“I’m a bit surprised that you brought humans here, Elysia. They are your friends that the participants once targeted, right? You take advantage of them and feel responsible.” Darkness muttered as she waved her hand in front of Erina and Mio’s faces.
“Wrong statement. I asked her for help, but the participants of the God Game are savage. They don’t want us to return to Earth Realm. Can you understand the situation at that time?” Elysia shook her head.
“My bad, I forgot. You will go back to your world one day. Is that okay with them?” Darkness asked while rubbing the back of her head.
“We haven’t talked about it yet. We’ll take care of it in due course. Anyway, what about the boy who helped you as the hunter? You once said that it was strong, but overwhelmed with the participants, right?” Elysia immediately changed the topic.
“Ah, that boy. Mm, his task seems to be done for now, but who knows for later. Right now, he is just living his life and solving his own problems. That Hypocrite Goddess seemed to be compensating him for a small harem, but that only gave him more trouble. Oh, poor boy.” Darkness smiled in amusement.
“Hehe, it’s about how one deals with problems, not solving one another. He seems to be fine. So, who is the Goddess you’re referring to? This is the umpteenth time you’ve mentioned her.” Elysia was curious as to who Darkness meant.
“I haven’t told you anything about her? She is the Goddess of Fate and Fortune. Be careful with her as she is so manipulative. I heard she wanted to meet your group in the previous encounter, but her luck was not on her side. She is known as lady luck, but she is not lucky? Fufuf, I found a new nice words~ The unlucky lady luck!” Darkness covered her mouth, and she chuckled in amusement.
