BXBX NOVEL Chapter 284: Shining Cocoon
Chapter 284: Shining Cocoon
Shiro was stunned for a moment to see that Nell was wrapped up without being able to fight back, so now a Firefly in a cocoon. Yet, he immediately came out of that stupefaction after hearing the simple greeting from the high-class Goddess.
"Goddess of Light? You look more like the Goddess of Sun in my eyes." Shiro stated as he compared the two Goddesses in front of him.
One six-winged divine, ethereal Goddess with a dazzling glow, then one petite angelic Goddess who was now more like a cocoon with a dim glow. The Sun to the Firefly.
With that alone, he grinned just because Nell looked nothing more than ridiculous. This Firefly Goddess and her chatty mouth suddenly lost the ability to talk nonsense from just one sentence from Elena? Apart from Nell\'s big sister, there was someone else who could do that?
"Hey, are you comparing me to Elena? How rude." Nell voiced her complaint as if she knew what the Evil God had in mind.
"Anyway, what\'s going on here? I came with a cause, and I don\'t want to interfere and meddle with the lover\'s affairs." Elysia poked the jumping cocoon in her hand.
"Iyaa, please don\'t do that. I said that he and I are not like that. Anyway, why am I wrapped in a cocoon, and why can\'t I break this silk bandage? Ugh..." Nell squirmed again, but she was helpless.
"So that you don\'t misbehave and prevent you from running away to cause trouble?" Elysia replied with an innocent expression.
"Ugh... Am I like that in your eyes?" Nell just lay there helplessly, and she didn\'t dare to counter anymore. She still remembered what she said last month to meet Elysia and Elena.
Then, she just answered the previous question. "This stupid Evil God is extracting energy from the cursed creatures from the sealed area down there. He wants to perfect his new power taken from the essence of that curse energy."
"Oh my..." Elysia covered her mouth in slight surprise. Evil God intended to use that curse energy as a boost to level up like her? What a move. Yet, her surprise was interpreted differently in the eyes of Shiro and Nell.
"It is better if you leave here with the cocoon on your hand. Leave me alone." Shiro readied his scythe in a stance, but he suddenly remembered Nell\'s earlier words.
"Oops, this is a coincidence. I heard that you are a powerful top-tier Goddess. Let\'s exchange blows, and I\'ll measure your strength using mine!" After saying that, Shiro immediately shot out like a shadow flash and appeared right in front of the Goddess of Light.
Elysia stared at the large scythe that was coming at her, but she had predicted the attack. She swung her hand swiftly, slapping the air with immense gravity magic.
"El-" Nell was about to shout out to warn of danger, but it was useless.
*Bam!*
The Evil God was slammed to the ground with just a swing of a hand and magic? Magic attacks worked against the Evil God who now possessed resistance to magic? But how? Nell wondered.
\'Ely, don\'t relax. Quickly check around!\' Elena reminded urgently. She couldn\'t see using Elysia\'s advanced perception from afar, but she knew it wasn\'t a time for relief.
Sure enough, a flash of golden black shadow appeared right behind Elysia. Yet, before the Evil God launched his Dark Magic, he was thrown again somehow.
Elysia used shock waves for it because she never loosened her guard to begin with. Then, she turned and faced the black devil with a firm gaze. "You still haven\'t answered my questions. That\'s a giant cursed ball of energy that you\'re going to absorb? How are you going to do that? And, how are you going to extract that energy from the sealed area down there?"
"Pretty impressive. It turns out that magic can still affect me or something?" Shiro ignored the question for a moment, but his opponent this time was patient enough to wait. "You are surprisingly fond of meddling someone\'s business too, huh. Why should I answer your questions?"
Elysia narrowed her eyes slightly, but Nell immediately burst out with another chirp. "Elena, Shiro is just stalling for time until the extraction process is complete. Please quickly destroy the blood rune near the altar. Everything came from there, that gigantic ball of energy and those inauspicious clouds. Thwart this Evil God\'s stupid plan before it\'s too late!"
Hearing a little clue from Nell, Elysia smirked and flew down. Shiro\'s eyes widened and immediately turned into a shadow to give chase with great speed to prevent it.
Unfortunately, Elysia only needed to blink and suddenly came close to the blood rune. Meanwhile, Shiro was just dumbfounded because his target disappeared suddenly, even though he used a tremendous speed to catch up.
"Answer me, or I will destroy all your rune into pieces of destruction for you." Elysia posed a threat and created a giant golden magic circle on top of the blood rune. It was just an ordinary magic circle without any effect, just for a bluff.
"Wait, you win. I will satisfy you with the answer you desire, revoke your magic this instant." Shiro was quite overwhelmed. This Goddess was indeed superior when he compared the speed and understanding of divine magic.
Besides that, he did not want the plan he had designed in such a way with careful experimentation and meticulous arrangement over the hundreds of years just to be ruined.
"Go ahead, continue with the answers to my questions earlier." Elysia nodded, but she let her golden magic circle remain floating above the blood rune.
"Elena! For the good of the world, what are you doing? We need to destroy this blood rune right now, and talk later." Nell was so annoyed. It was so close. She was about to use magic to destroy the blood rune, but Elena interfered with her magic.
"Let\'s listen to this Evil God, okay? I know what you\'re worried about, but it all comes with a cause and effect. Evil God doesn\'t kill you instantly, even though he can do it. It\'s quite odd seeing the animosity between the Devil Race and the Human Race.
Sometimes, different types of people will solve their problems in their own unique way. Have you tried asking his purpose? What did he sacrifice to have that accursed monster\'s trait? If you already know, then let me know." Elysia spoke softly and tried to poke the cocoon gently, but Nell avoided it... She leaped to the side.
"Shiro, he wants to be the absolute power to eradicate the cursed creatures from this world. He believes that the curse energy will help him to achieve that. It comes with considerable risk. He will be corrupted by that damned energy.
Perhaps, he will become a God-level cursed creature. If that happens, then we are finished... We are not ready for such a battle yet. I don\'t want Shiro to fall. We need a lot of strength to ward off calamities based on that prophecy." Nell reasoned sensibly.
She knew Shiro was wrong and stupid. It was not a solution. Instead of being the absolute power to eradicate all cursed creatures, he would be one of them.
Nell had absolutely no idea. Shiro\'s eyes flickered for a moment upon hearing that. Even so, he regained his composure shortly after. He only needed to stall for about fifteen minutes until everything was finished and perfect. The hard work and the long wait after so much trial and error would yield great results. No one was allowed to foil the plan.
When he was about to launch a surprise attack to take advantage of the Goddess of Light\'s negligence... He immediately canceled it because he was pretty shocked to hear her response.
"Oh my, isn\'t that noble and praiseworthy? He\'s trying in his own way to achieve the same goal as you. After all, what he uses as the material is from the enemies you will fight in the future, right? Why do you insist on preventing him if he has that much confidence in himself? Right, Xerroth, Shiro?" Elysia smiled faintly at the Evil God who canceled his attack. At the same time, she removed the golden magic circle under her feet.
"Elena, you\'ve become a fool too! Ah, never mind. It\'s useless, huhu..." Nell squirmed with a cry of anxiety and distraught.
"Hmm, surprisingly, you understand me more than the Firefly cocoon over there. Slightly wrong, now she looks like a shining cocoon." The corner of Shiro\'s mouth quirked up, but he felt something strange shortly after. "Wait, no one has told you my name yet. Did you do it, Firefly, Shining Cocoon?"
"Huh? What kind of ugly nickname do you use to refer to my exalted self? The name Firefly has been bothering me for over a hundred thousand years, and now the shining cocoon!? Wait till I tell my big sister, she will do justice to me." Nell puffed out her cheeks, and tiny vapors seemed to come out of her mouth.
Meanwhile, Elysia only smiled faintly. Nell had fooled her into coming here. It seemed there was no actual hostility to suspect between these two God-level existences. Even Elena chirped with annoyance and intended to punish Nell in the next opportunity. Elena would squeeze the little Goddess for all the information, no mercy anymore.
"No, Xerroth, Evil God, Shiro... Hmm, I\'ll call you Xero. I know just because I know it, no one has told me yet, and I don\'t need anyone else to tell me about it. I\'m intrigued by this curse energy ball. May you please tell me about your plans?" Elysia shook her head slightly, then glanced at Xero, then at the giant ball of energy in the air.
