Chapter 396: Confrontation (3)
Elysia weakened her magic capacity because she felt it was enough. At that too, Regulus roared loudly and scorched everything, including the divine light that was crushing him.
Freed from the predicament, Regulus flapped his wings to return to the sky to confront the newly ascended Goddess.
"I gave you a warning, and you ignored it. Then, don\'t blame me, young Goddess. Take this, Sunfire Roar!" Regulus roared out. Super duper hot blackish-red flames were blown out from his mouth. At that moment, he couldn\'t think of anything other than his injured ego.
Elysia instantly erected a wide protective barrier to protect herself and all those within her protection from the hot flames, including Nell\'s group.
*Swoosh*
The superheated flames collided with Elysia\'s slanted protective barrier. It reflected most of the fire waves into the sky, and some of it flowed to the sides.
\'Woah, this Beast God is now working like a flamethrower! I\'m sure he will be very useful for the kitchen and cooking while in outdoor camping.\' Elena threw a little joke to see the flames spread out to burn the clouds in the sky.
\'He has this much fuel to spit fire like this. No wonder his round belly swells up like that. But, well, I also thought that this Beast God could be a lighter to light a bonfire.\' Elysia smiled in response to the light joke.
The sight in front of her was just a hot blackish-red flame. Since it was blocking her view, she immediately used her sacred vision to see what the Beast God was doing.
To her surprise, Regulus was still in the same position to spit out fire elemental magic. Thus, Elysia and Elena could only wait for a few more seconds to destroy this Beast God\'s confidence.
"Ma-master, the Beast God is already so furious... Is everything alright?" Vanessa started to sweat from the heat, but her worries won out over it.
"Everything will be fine and still according to plan, Vann. If it\'s like this, please wait and watch the whole thing in a bit. You don\'t need to worry. I will be here to protect you all." Elysia stroked Vanessa\'s head with a smile, and she got a nod in return for that.
As if certain that it was enough to teach the new Goddess a lesson, Regulus stopped his roar of flames and waited for the waves of fire in the sky to extinguish. Broadly speaking, he had just made the sky covered by his flagship blackish-red fire.
*Swoosh!*
Elysia swung her hand to the side, and a gale of fresh wind swept the hot flames away from the surroundings. "Is that all you wanted to show me? Your fire magic might be appropriate in this pretty cold season, not bad. I commend you, be proud of it."
"You can fend off my divine magic without getting hurt in the slightest? How could that be? What did you just do? Tell me, who exactly are you!?" Regulus widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Me? Haven\'t you mentioned it already? I am nothing but a newly ascended Goddess." Elysia spread her arms slightly with open palms.
"Hm, I think this is enough, the Goddess of Light. You seem quite enjoying your time making fun of the Beast God."
The six-winged mint green Goddess suddenly appeared out of thin air, right between the Beast God and the Goddess of Light. She swung her finger around to neutralize the hot air from the fire magic a moment ago, then she cast her magic to create soothing dew to cool the atmosphere.
"That\'s you. Is that you, the Goddess of Life? So, you\'re still alive, huh?" Regulus was getting shocked on a different level than before. He stared with his eyes wide open to confirm the mint-green Goddess\'s identity.
Not done with it, a small fairy with lemon hair and a pair of white angelic wings also suddenly appeared right next to the mint green Goddess.
For a glance, Regulus considered for a moment that the two Goddess who had just arrived were the Elven Goddes and the Fairy Goddess. However, after recalling past memories, he knew that the little one was the Human Goddess, namely the Goddess of Blessings.
Well, he had met this Human Goddess not too long ago. So, he couldn\'t possibly be wrong.
"Wow, it\'s quite chaotic here and a bit hot. Luckily my big sister made the air cool first." Nell wiped her non-existent sweat. The \'revenge aid\' plan was still going on, and she needed to do her part properly, or Elena would punish her ruthlessly.
She glanced at Elysia and only got a subtle smile, then she turned her attention to the Beast God. "Long time no see, old friend. It\'s probably been three weeks since we last saw each other. But, at that time, our meeting was not so good. So, what have you done to receive the Goddess of Light\'s wrath, hmm?"
"You, you need to help me this time to deal with this unreasonable Goddess. She just came to my territory to cause trouble just because of the request of three puny mortals. In exchange, I will help you once." Regulus came up with a brilliant idea just because he and the two newly arrived divine beings had similar origins.
"Hm, why do you want our help? Aren\'t you so confident and arrogant earlier? Not to mention, how dare you throw my little sister away when she came to you to ask for some information." Rhea pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
It was clearly an insult and indifference to kick her little sister out when her little sister had come so far just to ask for help in the form of world information.
Regulus broke out in a little cold sweat. He was aware that these two Goddess were the sworn sister.
Although the little one was weak and easy to bully, it was completely the opposite for the big one. Rank three of the thirty-three divine beings in the Divine Order, he already knew that he would lose if he dared to challenge the Goddess of Life.
"I was not in a very good condition to speak to the Goddess of Blessings at the time. If you wish, I can grant the request made by the Goddess of Blessings after this as my apology. O the Goddess of Life, I only ask for your help to defeat and question this arrogant newly ascended Goddess." Regulus tried to persuade with friendliness and politeness.
"Is that so? However, I am not the Goddess of Life anymore. You can refer to me as the Goddess of Nature from now on." Rhea nodded slightly.
"O the Goddess of Nature, help me to subdue that arrogant Goddess and interrogate her. It is extremely rare in this era to find a new divine being. After about a hundred thousand years, I wonder why none of my descendants have managed to ascend to the divine level." Regulus got another idea when he talked about profit along with minimal effort on his side.
"None of your descendants have succeeded in ascending to the divine level? Wait, a hundred thousand years? Did you survive in top condition after that decisive battle? Is what the Tree of Life said true? You run away from the battlefield and only let your wives and children fight to their last drop of blood?" Nell squinted her eyes as she threw an accusation and suspicion. She didn\'t need any answers or confirmation because she knew the answer. She just wanted to annoy the Beast God.
"That old tree? Maybe she\'s just talking nonsense. The majestic me wouldn\'t escape from the battlefield like a coward. Shaa, the Goddess of Nature, how about my offer?" Regulus changed the topic in a flash as he didn\'t want to talk about those dark times.
"Your offer? What is it? I don\'t remember you offering me anything." Rhea wore a clueless expression.
"Err, in exchange for your help, I will assist you once and grant the Goddess of Blessings\' request for information about the world in this era. My knowledge after living a hundred thousand years after the end of the ancient era will definitely be of use to you." Regulus scratched his cheek and repeated his words with a slightly odd feeling.
"Well, that\'s a pretty attractive offer." Rhe gave a slight pause, and it was considered a yes in Regulus\'s ears.
"Then-" Regulus was about to speak, but his words stopped midway as these two Goddess flew closer to the six-winged Golden Goddess.
"Regrettably, the fact that you earned the wrath of the Goddess of Light alone is strong enough to put us on your opponent\'s side." Rhea gave a gentle shake of the head with a smile, but it was like a smirk.
Regulus flinched back. So, he was being toyed with since he came here. Surprisingly, that golden Goddess had also joined into an alliance with two other divine beings!
Whatever plan he had in mind, it would only end in his miserable defeat. He looked down at all the beasts that were his followers. Being humiliated like that would seriously damage his reputation.
"Have you been toying with me from the start? The three of you have conspired to frame me for something, right? All this vengeful bullshit is nothing more than gibberish just to ruin my good name. What are you going to achieve with this?" Regulus gritted his teeth.
"No, really. All of this is real. Our arrival here is to punish your distant descendants. Whatever your defense is and whatever you will do, the Pyrogressive Lion Clan will still receive divine punishment." Elysia corrected the wrong assumption.
