NOVPUBIn a moment of celestial splendor, five Goddesses emerged from a radiant, divine light, each embodying a unique aspect of ethereal beauty and grace.
Their presence was a harmonious convergence of divine power and boundless love, creating a tableau of otherworldly grandeur.
The Goddess of Nature, Rhea. The first emerged Goddess was enveloped with elements of the natural world. Leaves and flowers adorned her hair, and her gown seemed to be woven from the fabric of the forest. She carried the essence of the Earth with her, and her touch could make flowers bloom and trees flourish.
The Goddess of Void and Darkness. The second Goddess exuded an aura of profound calm and serenity. Her presence was like a tranquil pond on a windless day. Despite her appearance resembling Elysia’s gentleness, she possessed an endless abyss of darkness and untouchable mystery. Elysia’s twin sister, the alter dark version of Elysia, Ai. She was one of the two Goddesses that weren’t directly involved in the God Mode Fusion.
The Goddess of Fate and Fortune, Fortuna. The third Goddess radiated a luminous brilliance emanating from the sun’s glow. Her form glowed with an incandescent light, casting a warm and welcoming aura that bathed the surroundings in a gentle, golden glow. She was the embodiment of purity and enlightenment, illuminating the path of truth and wisdom.
The Goddess of Blessings, Nell. The fourth Goddess bore symbols of blessings and benevolence. Holy light adorned her tiny form, and her movements mirrored the dance of a celestial angelic fairy. She radiated a sense of perfect unity with the divine light, inspiring a deep reverence for the profound holiness.
The Goddess of Life, Lifa. The fifth Goddess emanated an overwhelming sense of love and compassion. Her eyes held an infinite wellspring of empathy, and her arms were open with boundless acceptance. Trees and the entire realm seemed to welcome her arrival with utmost reverence.
"Welcome back." Elysia welcomed her Goddess sisters with open arms and a warm smile.
At the same time, Elysia’s guardian angel also manifested behind Elysia, giving a warm hug from behind like a tender and loving elder sister. "Hi~"
The Goddess of Light. It was the title that Elysia bestowed upon her. Her appearance was the embodiment of divine beauty that was both radiant and transcendent. Her form was a luminous manifestation of grace and ethereal allure, embodying the very essence of celestial purity.
Her presence was bathed in an incandescent light as if she carried a fragment of the sun within her being. Her skin glowed with a gentle, golden hue, reflecting the eternal warmth of divine love. It bore no imperfections, possessing a flawless and porcelain-like texture that seemed to emit a soft, otherworldly radiance.
Her angel’s hair, a cascade of spun gold, flowed like liquid sunlight, shimmering with an iridescent sheen.
Her eyes were pools of profound wisdom and compassion, mirroring the boundless love of the divine sun. They held a depth of loftiness that transcended mortal understanding.
"Hmm~" Elysia stroked Elena’s cheek, then stretched her hand to the realm’s center.
Above a deep crater at the top of a hill, a sizeable divine tree began to manifest from the light particles.
The Tree of Life, Lifa’s original body, also exited the Elysian Realm, returning to the dream place from which it originally resided.
The last ones to arrive were Elysia’s two avatars. Megami looked genuinely like the mature Elysia, with almost no difference. Miko was still the lovely young priestess, resembling Elysia’s young self.
"Wow, Nature Realm!" Miko spread her arms wide and wandered around, looking at the surrounding world, the heaven of nature created by the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Nature idealisms.
Lush green forests all around, the beautiful blue lake in the distance, several majestic mountains on all sides, and there was still so much natural magnificence in this private world.
There was a region of eternal winter, extreme inferno, a vast sea in the distance, and many more. However, there were limits to what the naked eye could see. Even so, Miko was enthusiastic and looked forward to spending a holiday with her beloved family here.
"Ely, please excuse me." Ai approached Elysia, asked for permission, and then immediately entered Elysia’s shadow.
"Hm?" Zera was camping in Elysia’s shadow space, but someone came to visit her.
"Long time no see, Zera. Do you miss me?" Ai glanced around. Elysia’s shadow space was still the same as she could remember.
There was almost nothing, only darkness with only light shining from above. Her view was unique because she was watching the outside world from below. However, Elysia and other Goddesses were protected by divine light, and nobody could peek from under anyone’s dress.
"Welcome back." Zera was done inspecting Celestia’s blade and sheathed it back to its sheath. She then offered a cushion seat for Ai.
"..." Ai was silent for a moment because Zera was polite. Even so, she had to make one thing clear. "This shadow space is my spot. You can’t claim it arbitrarily, but it’s okay if you pay a visit."
"Alright. This place is good." Zera threw a black flame at the pile of crystals to create a unique bonfire in the dark. She then roasted a white stone over the black bonfire but did not come into direct contact with the fire.
The fragrance soon spread, and the pure spiritual energy in its surroundings began to condense into something more profound.
"What are you doing?" Ai asked in wonder.
"The Artificial Hell Core gave this to me. That floating crimson realm core said this stone needs to be heated, and this can help us during meditation with half the effort and twice the results. Do you want to try it?" Zera was unfamiliar with this thing but wished to try it.
"Alright then." Ai was also curious and sat next to Zera. They focused their awareness on Elysia’s surroundings and began to meditate.
Elysia just smiled, seeing the simple exchange between Zera and Ai. She inspected that white cultivation stone with her eye ability to ensure it was safe.
"Mama~ Can we please have Sister Megami in a shadow fox disguise during our follow-up expedition? We will meet many mermaids and foxes." Miko approached, dragging her elder sister with her.
"If Megami is willing, then yes, that’s fine." Elysia gave her permission. She sent her command to her divine avatar, and Megami received her request.
"Mm, yes. Mama has given her permission. Now you can’t refuse it anymore~" Miko shook her elder sister’s arm.
"..." Megami had nothing to say. She obediently followed the request and transformed into Lady Kitsune, the nine-tailed shadow fox, to satisfy Miko’s wishes.
"Wonderful!" Miko put her hands together in satisfaction.
