NOVPUBElysia tried to put her Primordial Gem and twin halo into their usual spiritual invisible mode, but they refused to listen to her command. She cast invisible magic, but their active divine energy caused the invisibility ineffective.
It could be disguised partially, but still faintly visible to the naked eye. Therefore, she left her striking halos and stayed in that state for now.
’Master, does that Unknown Nightmare wish to harm you?’ Rhea put her hand to her master’s arm, speaking via telepathy.
The other Goddesses soon joined the private telepathy group channel as they also worried about Elysia’s well-being.
’Thank you, everyone. But, you don’t need to worry. Her sudden arrival and entrance were a bit scary, but when I thought about it again with a clear mind, the situation was similar to my encounter with the Celestial Goddess in my Subconscious Mind. She wished to say something, but I couldn’t understand them. It wasn’t the time yet... and they sent me away.’ Elysia replied with a smile to reassure everyone.
’The Celestial Goddess you mentioned... that’s not Elena’s alter or something, right?’ Lifa was intrigued about this, but anything related to Elysia’s true origin was still very confusing.
’That might be like me. The other us, Ely. The one living deep in our souls is one of us, and the one who forced us to make contact with you was probably another one of us. Or at the very least, this Unknown Nightmare should know about our true origin.’ Ai expressed her deep understanding regarding Elysia and her origin.
She understood the profound reason behind Elysia’s transmigration and their ’fuse’ in more depth. With all the hints and clues they obtained so far, she could tell that Elysia and her were merely fragments of their true origin.
After Sylvia killed her, Elysia’s soul was drawn to take over her body, keeping her spirit in a safe place within their newly fused soul. Unfortunately, an accident occurred and she entered the Boundless Realm, thanks to that ancient gate in their soul space.
’One of us, and she’s waiting for us for something. She might be an enemy. That’s different from Sera, and she probably wishes to devour me...’ Elysia recalled that cosmic creature’s terrifying image and it gave her goosebumps.
That cosmic creature was scarier than Sera. Previously, it looked like she would be devoured. She was helpless, but that shadowy monster let her go because she wasn’t ripe yet.
Out of curiosity, Elysia checked the twelve angel wings sigil on her left hand. It was still dim and the command spell remained inactive, indicating Sera was still in a deep slumber, unaware of her recent situation.
’If that’s the situation, we need to prepare the precautions. She can only send a dream revelation, but we are still here. We still have time, and she doesn’t know our exact location yet. The Primogem did its job to prevent it.’ Elena knew Elysia was just trying to look strong and tough so that everyone wouldn’t worry, but she could feel Elysia’s uneasiness.
Hearing Elena’s reassurance, Elysia felt a bit relieved. Since she could do nothing about it, she put the matter aside for now. She was too relaxed lately. Her true preparation should be done when they return to Quadtria.
"Who could that creature possibly be?" Gaia tapped her chin in deep thought. She received a task from the mysterious celestial being to look after Elysia’s reincarnations in her world eons ago.
It was based on an agreement and benefits, but several lifetimes had passed since Elysia’s soul was first reincarnated on Earth. However, the image was still clear in her mind. As far as she could recall, that celestial being wanted to ensure Elysia’s future well-being.
As for its appearance, it was far from the so-called dark cosmic. Its form was not scary, and more resembled a person with a sea of stars as its body, not the chaotic dark matter.
"You know something?" Fortuna dared to ask as she knew Gaia was responsible for Elysia’s several reincarnations on Earth.
"No clue. We can only confirm that there is an entity targeting Ely. A stronger one and more terrifying than Sera. We should strengthen ourselves before that monster comes to look for Ely again." Gaia responded with a voice transmission as she didn’t want it to be heard by He-Dao’s group.
*Bzzt*
Elysia’s Primordial Gem returned to its original shape. The kaleidoscopic halos also re-united into a four-pointed star unity.
"Primogem?" Elysia looked up, and her halo dematerialized to its spiritual invisibility.
"The Unknown Nightmare’s connection is gone. This Primogem and the halos work like anti-radar, it seems." Nell floated around Elysia’s head for an inspection.
"Yeah..." Elysia breathed a sigh of relief. She had no idea where the Unknown Nightmare could have found her, but it seemed the problem was over for now.
She did remember that something deep in her soul did something, and the Unknown Nightmare asked her to leave because of that.
Regardless, if a tree wished for tranquility, the winds would not stop blowing because of it. She had to prepare herself in case the Unknown Nightmare wished to devour her in the future.
For anything closer to happening, she had to possess the power to handle Sera first. Otherwise, she might become something like a plaything before Sera’s divine power again.
After the world boss raid tomorrow, she might have to return to Quadtria and focus on cultivating. According to plan, if push came to shove during the Nirvana Holy War, she would summon Sera to resolve the matter. The appointed time collided, after all.
She shouldn’t assume that Sera would always be friendly. As a cosmic creature, the supreme being in the Boundless Realm, Sera could do anything to her, and it wasn’t just about curiosity and interest.
"I shouldn’t leave it to fate. I will defy it and pave my own path." Elysia’s eyes shone with renewed vigor and determination
She would never allow anything to harm her and her family. If something happened to her, her family would be dragged as well. So, she had to be well-prepared. She had to grasp the true supreme divine power, not the half-baked one with a fake creation-like imaginary divinity.

"Hey, what just happened? Was it just because Ely entered the sealed space? But, what’s with this restlessness?" Evelyn expressed her worries to her fellow sisters.
"Our master has spoken. We just need to put our faith in her." Ella clasped her hands in prayer.
"..." Evelyn was still a bit unconvinced. Unlike the faithful Ella and Lucia who would believe everything Elysia said, she paid more attention to what made Elysia restless some time ago.
She could feel it even if only for a moment of breath, thanks to their soul bond. Something unexpected and scary occurred for sure, and Elysia didn’t want to reveal it to everyone yet.
"Hi, beauties. Are you a new student? It might be fate for us to meet here. Allow this big brother to show you around."
Three academy seniors suddenly blocked the path. The one in the middle looked at the girls’ curvaceous bodies from top to bottom. He greeted the beauties with great interest.
"Ain’t nobody got time for that." Evelyn responded unkindly as she wasn’t in the mood to play it nice.
She grabbed Ella and Lucia’s hands and left the magic research facility because their business was over.
"You, witch. Playing hard to get, blonde bimbo girl? Don’t think that just because you have big boobs and a pretty face can make you special here."
"New students should pay respect to the seniors. You should receive our boss’ kindness while we are still being nice."
The two underlings snapped when they realized their boss was annoyed. They surrounded the girls and growled like horny beasts, making even the ever-calm Lucia feel disturbed.
"..." Evelyn was silent for a moment, thinking about striking the rude brats with lightning. She never hated the insult or ridicule from some random nobody, but if they dared to do it, then she would be happy to drop her manner. She didn’t need to be nice to strangers, and they should feel the consequences!
"Hmm, then what would you possibly do if we still wanted to leave?" Ella asked with a profound smile.
"We will, we, will... our boss will be angry and you will suffer." One of the underlings stuttered as the girl looked at him. She did nothing, but that pretty smile somehow made him a little scared.
"This doesn’t seem to be the first time you’ve tried to bully new students. Even with the new academy system, humans are still humans. With the large number of students in the academy, the troublemakers also naturally increase. Aren’t you afraid of retribution?" Ella heaved a subtle sigh.
"What are you talking about? We were just kind enough to show you around."
"With the impure intention? You keep staring at our breasts, and lust is evident in your eyes. Leave and repent. The church is always open to guide you."
Ella flipped the intimidation into a suggestion. She would do nothing if these troublemakers left, but she wouldn’t stop Evelyn if the troublemakers provoked them further.
"!!!" The gang’s boss was terrified beyond measure when the blonde bimbo girl stared at him with a death glare. Doom seemed to approach him when her eyes sparkled with faint purple lightning.
He then cleared his throat. "Ahem, since you have urgent matters to attend to, then we won’t hold you any longer."
After saying that, he dragged his underlings away, running away with his tail between his legs.
"Do you think I will let you go? I won’t survive for long in Quadtria if I let someone like you go without punishment." Evelyn stomped her foot on the ground.
A high-voltage electric current flowed like a vicious snake, electrocuting the school bullies until they became unconscious.
"Eve, you’re being a bit extreme here. They’re just naughty children, the lost young lambs who need a little guidance." Ella gently reprimanded her friend.
"My mood is a bit messy right now. I won’t say sorry for them. They’re still alive, just a little injured. They should be grateful for that. They won’t live long in Quadtria with that attitude. They shouldn’t offend anyone they just met. Let’s go. We need to go to Ely." Evelyn put her hand to her chest. She couldn’t get rid of her worries unless she met Elysia in person.
