Elliris felt as if she had slept for a very long time. A day? Two days? She couldn’t remember.
She only knew that after being enveloped by a warm, white light, she had arrived here.
After waking up, she found herself sleeping on a soft, comfortable single bed. She sat up and saw nothing but clouds and the glow of dawn.
Hmm, this was pretty much as she had imagined. This should be heaven.
“I’m sorry, Sophia. I went ahead first…” Elliris said with a slightly sorrowful look, which then transformed into a relieved smile.
“Ahem, little Elliris, who said you died?”
Elliris, who had been admiring the beautiful dawn, looked toward the source of the voice. At a dining table not far from her bed, two unfamiliar young women were drinking tea while looking at her with amused expressions.
The young woman with cherry-blossom white hair had features extremely similar to Elliris’s, though her figure leaned more toward Felicitala’s. Her sky-blue eyes, like clear, limpid lake water, stared straight at Elliris. A golden halo floated above her head, its soft glow outlining her silhouette. Behind her was a pair of radiant, shimmering golden angel wings, the feathers glowing with a warm, golden light.
The other young woman, an elf with platinum blonde hair, had her long, platinum locks braided into many fine sections, like small wheat ears encircling the back of her head. A vibrant olive branch crown, with the texture of fine golden silk, rested on her head. Her long, golden eyelashes were like two small palm-leaf fans. Her soft pink lips were gently blowing on the hot tea in her cup, and she glanced at Elliris.
Uh, what’s going on? Elliris was starting to panic a little.
These two fairy sisters had been drinking tea, eating snacks, and watching her sleep the whole time?
Was her sleeping posture really that nice to look at? No way, right?
She only remembered one time when she dreamed about frantically devouring desserts in her sleep, and woke up in the morning to find her pillow soaked with drool. She got a good scolding from Sophia, the domestic expert…
Since things had come to this, she should get up and greet them first…
But just as Elliris thought about getting up, the two young women vanished from the dining table, both appearing instantly at her bedside.
The two young women sat on either side of the bed, making her even more nervous.
What kind of development is this?!
“Hello… two beautiful sisters?” Elliris spoke first, though her face was full of awkwardness.
“Pfft, beautiful, huh? You still haven’t figured out who we are? You silly girl.” The platinum-haired elf maiden, who hadn’t spoken before, finally spoke with a smile. “Don’t move around, you’re not fully recovered yet. Lie down and rest a bit more~”
Don’t panic. And definitely don’t think with a male mindset, Elliris thought to herself. Right, she’s a beautiful girl now! This is just three beautiful girls meeting.
“You must be Goddess Althea. And this one, who looks so similar to me, must be Goddess Phebeilia.” Elliris actually already had a preliminary answer in her heart. Now she just needed an opportunity to pierce that paper window.
“BINGO! Correct~ There’s a little reward for you later~” Phebeilia said in a pleasant voice, with a hint of playfulness.
Elliris felt a sliver of joy, but more than that, she felt reverence for the goddesses.
Was it really this intense? Both goddesses coming to see her alone? She was truly overwhelmed with honor…
“We are very satisfied with your trial performance, even beyond our expectations.” Althea spoke with an ethereal, beautiful voice, affirming her trial performance.
“Little Elliris, the difficulty of your second stage boss was normal. Hehe, sorry. For all previous God Race Saints who cleared everything, the third stage boss level would not exceed level sixty. I don’t know what your future will encounter, but encountering a level ninety boss in itself is very rare.”
Phebeilia told Elliris this harsh truth. Even the goddess showed a bitter smile after saying this.
(Ah?! So my future is just one big dark purple mess from the start?!)
“Goddess, why… why is it only me?” Elliris said with a pout.
Could it really be that “Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on this person, they must first torment their mind and will,” and all that? But this great responsibility was really becoming too much for her to bear. Challenging enemies far above her level every day? She was just a dual-class Priest/Mage, and she didn’t seem to have any cheat-like abilities!
“Little Elliris, we know all about you and Sophia~” Phebeilia said with a look that saw through everything. “You could say, the moment you and Sophia kicked the bucket on Blue Star, we intercepted your souls and sent them to our world. The difficulties you and Sophia face are also something the God Race of Omnia has never encountered before.”
Phebeilia waved her hand grandly, and a scene of a cemetery on Blue Star appeared before Elliris. On the projection were two tombstones bearing the names Ai Lei and Su Xiaoya.
“Your physical bodies have perished. We saved you~ No need to thank us. Also, this matter is only known to us two goddesses. Even little Fiona doesn’t know you came from Blue Star.”
“That’s really… thank you, both Goddesses. But I have a question I don’t know if I should ask… why did you choose to make me change gender…”
Here it comes! Here it comes! Since it’s come to this, Elliris posed the soul-searching question. Well, it was indeed on a soul level.
“My descendants do not need men. Don’t ask such foolish questions again, Elliris.” Phebeilia’s eyes instantly turned extremely cold, and the atmosphere around them changed.
Alright, the goddess is also… that way. Elliris suspected she had really chosen the wrong game. She didn’t dare to ask further. Continuing to press might be life-threatening.
“Oh my, getting impatient already? I should say, as expected of Senior Phebeilia. I don’t have many requirements regarding such matters.” Althea continued with a teasing tone. “Little Elliris, if you don’t mind, I can just wiggle my fingers and restore you to a male body. I can even turn you into a little elf boy~”
…
Huh? A male elf?! I can change again?
Even if male elves are a bit effeminate, at least they’re still male! Yes, please!
Elliris, sitting on the bed, propped her chin on her hand, her eyes wide and sparkling, filled with yearning for what Althea had just said.
Althea, who had just dropped this shocking statement, didn’t wait for Phebeilia to speak before adding another line: “I’ve even thought of a new name for you. No need to go be the God Race Saint of her family. Your new name will be Aars Kessaelium. You’ll be little Fiona’s long-lost… WAAAH!!”
“You jerk, Althea! Daring to steal from me right in front of my face?! You have some nerve! Elliris can only ever be Elliris!” At this moment, Phebeilia lost all her dignified bearing and started violently pulling Althea’s princess-style braids, causing the Goddess of Life to shriek.
“Wah! I was just joking! What kind of goddess are you?! You know this too, even gods cannot change the existing descendants of Omnia! If you want to fight, you just start by pulling hair right away?! You shrew of a senior!”
“Althea, you’re full of devious ideas! I don’t believe a word you say! If you dare say that, I really believe you have the ability to do such a thing!”
The goddess who governed healing and the power of life, Althea, naturally had control over soul power that Phebeilia could not match. The Goddess of Light, Phebeilia, was naturally afraid some mishap might occur.
This wrestling match took a new turn. Not willing to be outdone, Althea activated elven secret arts, summoning a large number of vines not far away. Their purpose was none other than to also vigorously pull Phebeilia’s… hair.
“WAAH!” Phebeilia didn’t expect this either. The sudden hair-pulling made her cry out in pain.
Elliris wore an extremely awkward smile. What others didn’t know, the two pure and kind goddesses whose statues stood in many places in the mortal world, had completely broken their personas before her…
Was this the brutal combat of the divine level? Just grabbing each other’s hair?
It really was terrifying in a certain sense…
