NOVPUB"Phew..." Dory breathed a sigh of relief. She managed to get the support from three Emperors and two Empresses easily.
They would help her to secure her commander seat for the world boss raid operation. The grand meeting would be held the day after tomorrow, so ensuring some factions to support her early would help her a lot at a later date.
"..." Dory held her arm, looking at the moon in the starry night sky.
According to Luna’s divination, the tragedy occurred three years ago. So, her clan was destroyed a year after the Polluted Sea God’s dominion started.
However, revenge was the best-served cold. Rationally, meticulously, with sharpened blades and prepared bullets... she would use whatever it would take to wipe them out completely.
The Polluted Sea God’s ambition would be put to eternal rest as that wicked divinity had no place in this world. She had to ensure of it.
"The Polluted Sea God will be personally punished by the Vrelenian Goddesses. However, you can take part in the execution to resolve the regret in your heart." Evelyn patted Dory’s back.
"I can’t protect them, but I need to do it with my own hands, ending this world’s chaos." Dory looked down and clenched her hand into a fist.
"We can only protect the people around us. Even our master can’t protect everyone. We have to focus on what we can do, but you can’t lose your direction. Please remember, you are part of Elysium." Lynn put her hand around Dory’s shoulders.
"Mm, thank you. I will never forget who I am and where I belong." Dory took a deep breath and recalled the past.
Five years ago, she and the other racial representatives, also known as saintesses, literally sold their souls to Elysia.
Elysia held no responsibility to protect the world, and yet, everyone, including the other Gods, put the burden on the newly arrived Goddess to protect the world from Ruvoid.
They would serve their master with their body and soul. However, Elysia treated them as family, and that was how they became part of Elysium.
Vrelenia was saved, and she had to fulfill her duty as her master’s faithful servant. And yet, she was ungrateful.
Several hours ago, she put the blame for her clan’s demise onto her master. But! Her master never did anything wrong. It was the Polluted Sea God’s doing.
She felt ashamed even though she never said it to her master. Thus, she had to resolve herself and regain her value. She couldn’t let her faith be shaken anymore.
"Shall we return to master’s side?" Luna invited everyone and the girls soon followed her lead.
The other Emperors and Empresses had long since left the room, invited by Alexander to stay at the Holy Cathedral.
Elysia and the Goddesses received the best treatment in the specially made room only for the divine group.
"Hm?" Luna looked left and right because the room was so quiet.
Elysia sat alone near the window, staring at the night sky in silence.
"Ely, Master Ely?" Luna called out in a soft voice.
"Mm, welcome back." Elysia looked aside, smiling in greeting while stroking the snow fox on her lap.
"Uh? Where’s everyone?" Evelyn looked around, but she only found the sleeping Erina and Mio.
"Vann is in the Helven Realm to register her uncle and aunt as new officers in the monster army. Sylvia is also there to help. As for the rest, they are doing something in the Nature Realm. Do you want to rest? I have prepared your beds." Elysia shrugged her shoulders and pointed at the nearby beds.
"Hum, Ella will be back tomorrow. Looks like she needs to spend some time with her family. It’s good for Sylvia not to stay long in this place. The holy aura around here may harm her. Hum, Erina, and Mio look exhausted. But, everyone is busy. So, it’s just us?" Evelyn sat on the sofa and hugged Elysia’s arm.
"Yes." Elysia nodded in reply, clueless as to what Evelyn had in mind.
"?!" An idea suddenly crossed Luna’s mind. She hurriedly transformed into her fox form and threw herself to her master’s care. Yuuki exploited a lot of their master’s care for a whole day, and she craved some love too.
"Hmm?" Elysia found a lovely soul fox climbing her legs, targeting her lap. Luna curled up with Yuuki comfortably as if it were their nest.
Luna occasionally rubbed her head against Elysia’s palm, craving some touches.
"Here we go. Do you want to join as well?" Elysia offered the empty cuddle spot on her lap to Yusagi and Lynn as well.
"Please excuse us." Lynn blushed slightly and closed her eyes. She transformed her body into her fox form before snuggling comfortably with her mother.
Yusagi was also a bit shy, but she also transformed into her little bunny form. It would be a lie if she didn’t like Elysia’s treatment. She actually enjoyed it a lot, just like Luna and Lynn.
The fluffy little friends purred comfortably under Elysia’s caresses.
Luna, Lynn, Venessa, Yusagi, and Yuuki had similar mindsets. During this moment, it would be fine to abandon their previous self and become the little pet.
Elysia also beckoned to Dory to sit in the empty seat next to her.
"..." Dory recalled about it once again. It had been a while since she stayed close to her master. In the recent days, it was as if she distanced herself for no apparent reason.
"Do you want a hug? It’s okay if you want to shoulder it, but please remember your master is always at your back." Elysia spread her left arm to Dory.
Dory bit her lower lips and embraced her master from the side. Her master was so good to her. "Thank you, master. I’ve been a bad girl."
"Bad girls need to be punished." Elysia rubbed Dory’s back.
"Dory is ready to be punished by master." Dory closed her eyes, ready for anything.
"That will need to wait until later. Please have a rest first. Tomorrow and later will be very busy for you." Elysia let go of Dory, but Dory remained by her side.
"Yes, master." Dory leaned her head against her master’s shoulder and hugged her master’s arm close. She let go of her worries and embraced tranquility, but soon fell asleep.
"Why am I suddenly flanked?" Elysia was just about to use her magic to send Dory to the bed, but Dory was reluctant to let go of her arm.
"Ely, what is our schedule for tomorrow?" Evelyn also rested her head on Elysia’s shoulder.
"Tomorrow... we will visit the Reinhard Family in Cuttexus Kingdom, then we will go to your family at noon. As for the day after tomorrow, how about we join the academy’s enrollment event after the grand meeting?" Elysia suddenly proposed an idea.
"Ah, that sounds fun. But, are we going to play as the academy’s new students?" Evelyn looked up, wondering why Elysia sounded excited.
"I heard the magic academy’s new enrollment system is good. It has changed to something more impressive than five years ago. This is just an enrollment event for fun. We won’t compete with the other students."
"Mm, then everyone will definitely be happy to hear that. If I think about it, our experience as students was messed up because of the Ruvoid."
"You’re right. My student experiences have never been good. He-Dao and the others might also want to come along."
"We can ask Emperor Arthur and Pope Alexander. They will tell the academy’s principal about it. This is like an inspection before the real enrollment event in three weeks."
"Fufu, I’m getting impatient. I noticed it a while ago. Eve, have your breasts gotten bigger?"
"Ah-huh? I think the size is still the same. They are too full and a bit heavy. I exercised my body delicately as a knight for ideal proportions. Am I beautiful, Ely?"
"You’re alluringly beautiful, Eve. Do you want me to go into detail? You’ve also done something to the airhead of yours. My silly Eve has grown up, hic."
"Ah, come on. You make me a little embarrassed..."
Elysia ruffled Evelyn’s hair, and they joked around like two merry girls. That night, Elysia fell asleep on the sofa with Evelyn and Dory by her side.

As rays of sunlight emerged from the eastern horizon, a virtual invitation letter was sent to all the supreme leaders.
"This is just like what we do on Earth. Anyway, where are we going to set the grand meeting? Is this Holy Cathedral good?" Elysia sent the invitation letter with Gaia’s help.
"The Sky Library is the best choice. Those two God Spirits also need to know the truth. Their information is misleading." Nell clenched her fist, feeling a bit annoyed as if she wanted to beat those God Spirits.
"Alright. Gaia, please help me change the teleportation destination." Elysia held Gaia’s arm, showing the world system’s panel.
"I guess my restrictions no longer affect you. But, you need to get used to my divinity. It’s a bit tricky. Here, I will guide you step by step." Gaia guided Ely like a mother to her beloved daughter.
The door opened, and Ella returned with a radiant expression.
"Welcome back, Ella. You look happy but also worried. Did something happen?" Evelyn grabbed Ella’s hand and asked like a curious cat.
"Mm, my little brother will become a great person in the future, rivaling my grandfather. Anyway, Master Ely... my grandfather eagerly accepted the invitation a few seconds ago, and he disappeared from my side." Ella reported the situation to Elysia with an awkward expression.
"Huh? But we just set a new teleportation destination. Why did he eagerly accept the invitation before reading it? Also, the teleportation is supposed to take place tomorrow, right?" Elysia widened her eyes in surprise. It was only a few seconds, and Alexander was lost somewhere.
"The initial place is this cathedral. So, he just teleported to the hall." Gaia did something to fix the invitation from Elysia’s settings.
A few seconds later, the virtual invitation letter was improved and it would teleport the invited guests to the Sky Library tomorrow morning. The recipients received a restriction as they could only bring one companion with them.
