Chapter 664: First Heaven
A robust, big white horse flapped its wings and landed gracefully. The sheen of white light that enveloped the winged horse seemed to indicate that it was a sacred beast from the heaven realm that had come at the request of the Earth God.
"Unicorn without a horn on the head?" Sylvia muttered in admiration.
"It\'s more of a pegasus. Mm, that\'s unmistakable. One of those mythological creatures, the pegasus." Elysia also felt amazed. As it turned out, mythological and sacred beasts did exist, but only not in the same dimension as humans.
"Neigh!" The pegasus urged the girls to climb on his back with a gesture.
"Master, he wants us to get on his back soon. A third party might see us." Vanessa helped to translate.
\'Ely, ask Earth God for confirmation first.\' Elena reminded.
\'Um, okay.\' Elysia immediately did that. She had to know that this pegasus had come at Earth God\'s orders or not.
\'The answer to your question is correct. The pegasus came at my request. You can go to heaven realm with his help.\' Earth God responded without delay.
\'All right, thank you very much, Earth God. Then, see you again.\' Elysia nodded happily. The connection between her and the Earth God was then severed.
Elysia went closer to the pegasus. The horse looked more prominent than she thought, and she couldn\'t just get up there. After all, there was no saddle or footing to climb on.
The pegasus noticed the girl\'s troubled expression. Therefore, it lay down on the ground.
"Thank you for your consideration." Elysia stroked the pegasus\'s back appreciatively. She then sat at the front in a sideways position, and Sylvia sat behind her like a horseman.
"Why do you like sitting in that position, Ely? It\'s similar to when we rode Vanessa a few weeks ago." Sylvia wrapped her arms around Elysia\'s waist. She had to make sure Elysia didn\'t fall while they were flying.
"It\'s okay..." Elysia looked at her dress. Her skirt would definitely lift up to her groin if she sat astride like Sylvia. Meanwhile, Sylvia was OK without exposing so much skin because of a pair of stockings.
Vanessa was in the front because she was still under her master\'s care. Still, a particular big crow ruined her comfortable spot because the Heretic God was perched in front of her.
"Elysia, use your invisible talisman." Xero reminded as the pegasus stood up.
Elysia just nodded and took out a talisman. She held it between her two fingers and activated the magic stored there.
*Swoosh*
The pegasus flapped its wings and flew into the sky in just the blink of an eye. Their flying speed was beyond measure because they seemed to change dimensions, and the scenery suddenly changed.
They were previously in the plantation area, but they were now in a beautiful forest above the clouds.
"Teleport?" Elysia muttered while looking left and right.
"Neigh." The horse lay back on the ground to allow the passengers to get off its back.
"Mm, thanks for the ride. By the way, where are we now?" Elysia got off the pegasus.
"Neigh, night." The pegasus stood up again when all the passengers had disembarked. It looked up, then at the white cat.
"Master, this is the first dimension of the heaven realm. There are still six other realms up there. We can start looking for the world\'s threat from here and ascend to the upper realm by flying through the sky." Vanessa translated the pegasus\'s words once again.
"I see... So, it\'s the seven realms of heaven, otherwise known as the seven heavens. I\'ve studied it before, and the hell realm also has seven realms, right? We\'ll start looking for the Ruvoid God from this first heavenly dimension." Elysia put her hand on her chin and nodded in understanding.
After that, she stroked the pegasus one more time and spoke in English. "Thank you. You can go back to what you were previously doing. We\'ll start looking for that world\'s threat from here."
"Neigh!" The pegasus nodded and turned around. It flapped its wings, flew through the sky, and disappeared behind the clouds.
"Vann, that\'s not a stallion. The pegasus just now is genderless." Elysia mumbled softly and petted the cat in her arms.
"Mm, I just saw it too, master. That pegasus doesn\'t have that big private part, but its voice like a stallion." Vanessa replied somewhat absentmindedly. She could only think that winged horse had been completely neutered.
\'E-eh? Earth has seven realms for heaven and hell? Why does this world have so many alternate dimensions for a planet with minimal magic intensity? We were previously in the underworld, right? Is that realm the first layer of hell?\' Rhea was shocked by the revelation that Elysia had just said.
\'I don\'t think so. The underworld is a separate dimension before hell. We didn\'t see any hellfire, did we? Oh no, looks like we have a wider search zone. What if the Ruvoid God is not in the heaven realm but is in the hell realm?\' Elena held her forehead as if she had sudden dizziness.
\'There\'s so much work to do if we explore the fourteen different realms. We only have about five days until Nell and the others are at their most difficult point. They will be dealing head-on with the deadly curse without an antidote. What shall we do, Master Elysia?\' Rhea is aware of the gravity of the situation.
It was okay if they weren\'t constrained by time, but reality said otherwise.
\'Uhh, let\'s test our luck in these five days. If we can\'t find the Ruvoid God anywhere within five days, we have no other choice. We will still return to Vrelenia and return to Earth again when all the accursed creatures in Vrelenia have been exterminated. What do you think?\' Elysia took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
\'That\'s the best solution we have right now. We are not responsible for situations that are beyond our control. Let\'s just try to the best of our ability. All right, it\'s time for us to act. Ely, you can start by removing the Earth God\'s magic seal.\' Elena expressed her agreement.
With that being said, Elysia meditated for a while to get a bit of magic energy. After that, she removed the black rune tattoo on her left forearm.
As the magic seal disappeared, Elysia could feel her own power again.
"Wow, you can easily remove that magic seal? Hey, remove my seal too." Xero was amazed when he saw how easy it was for Elysia to eliminate the seal.
"Sure, everyone will have a turn. Please show me your left claw." Elysia crouched down and stretched out her hand.
Xero just went closer and put his left foot onto Elysia\'s hand. It only took Elysia two seconds to break the seal. Then, Elysia proceeded to remove Sylvia and Vanessa\'s seal.
\'Rhea, it\'s time for you to leave the Nature Realm, right? Ely can\'t help you recover if you stay there all the time.\' Elena reminded Rhea of the crux of the matter on the other side.
\'Ah-mm, you\'re right, Master Elena. I would be much more helpful if I was outside the world.\' Rhea completely agreed. She said goodbye to her mother, then asked Elysia to open the Nature Realm\'s portal.
"Fwaah... The air here is so fresh and amazing. Earth\'s heaven realm is magnificent and cannot be compared to its human realm." Rhea took a deep breath with a beaming expression.
"You are so smol, the Goddess of Nature. Is that your method of preserving the remaining of your divine energy?" Xero feels superior for several reasons. The Goddess ranked third in the Divine Order, and the one she feared the most was now just looking like a helpless toddler.
"Yep, I can\'t deny it. But, it won\'t take long because I have someone I can rely on." Rhea stretched out her hands, and Elysia carried her with a smile.
"Hmm?" Xero could have interpreted the unspoken truth of that statement, but that just confused him a bit. "You\'re no longer a parasite to the Tree of Life? Is that real? So, you\'re making Elysia your host now?"
"Tic, please don\'t say things like that. I\'m warning you." Elena materialized next to Elysia. She folded her arms and looked at Xeroi with a superior arrogance.
"You all conspired to use that nickname to refer to my new title? Tch." Xero didn\'t want to bring up the issue anymore and immediately changed the topic. He knew that he would be fucked up if he offended these girls.
"Whoa, we are a whole group now, and we will explore heaven together in full force. Vann, you can become a winged tiger when we engage in battle later. I can see exciting things about to happen from now on, hehe." Sylvia rubbed her hands together with an excited chuckle.
*Coo!*
A white creature came out of nowhere and landed on a tree branch near Elysia\'s group. Elysia and the others were just about to move away from the beautiful forest, but a chirp from a dove made them pause for a moment.
"I am an emissary from the seventh heaven. I carry a message and a mission." The dove pecked at the scroll tied to its feet and threw it at the Golden Goddess.
"Hmm?" Elena unrolled the small paper roll and narrowed her eyes. All the writing on the little scroll was extra mini, and she had a little trouble reading all the messages even though they were written in English.
"I see, so you\'re here to escort us and monitor our activities. Am I right?" Elena summed up the entire message on the scroll.
"I\'ll be giving my regular reports, but I\'m also in charge of delivering the two-way message as you may need help from heaven. I am Dave, the sacred dove of the Divine Association. Earth Mother has already informed us of your situation and identity. Welcome to the first heaven." In the introduction, Dave spread his left-wing and put his other wing in front of his chest.
