Chapter 990 Fly To The Moon
Elena came out of the Elysian Realm, and Elysia behaved so well.
Previously, Elysia thought that Elena was okay with what Luna did to her. However, Elena still felt a bit dissatisfied even though Luna was sincere in helping her.
After everyone returned, they gave the spaceship a finishing touch before placing it into the Nature Realm.
It was past noon, and their departure time was pushed forward from the original plan. Elysia and the others were awaiting the other Gods' arrival and mentally preparing themselves for their departure this evening.
"Ely, I have given everything Ariel needs for her life force recovery. She only needs your final treatment, and she will be as good as new, or maybe even better." Lifa pointed her palm toward the holy knight.
"Mm, thank you for your hard work. My patient, please sit here. This doctor will heal all of your pain~" Elysia patted the couch next to her.
"Huff..." Ariel took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She organized her breathing and followed Elysia's instructions like an obedient girl.
The earlier treatment of the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Blessings left her soul and spirit in post-tiredness. That treatment wasn't hurt, but the shock was still lingering until now. Life energy recovery using vitality herbs could not completely repair the damaged pool, but Elysia could do something about it.
Elysia checked Ariel's pulse and mental ripples. Soul, spirit, energy flow, state of mind, dantian, meridians, and energy pools... Everything was checked one by one.
Vitality herbs could supply pure life energy that anyone could use, regardless of origin or race. However, Ariel's case was unique because the energy pool was damaged due to imperfect forbidden limit break magic. Also, Ariel's current life energy recovery was a little overflowing from what she could contain.
'Lady Lifa should be able to handle everything on her own, and with Nell's help, everything will be perfect. But she doesn't want to take all the credit for Ariel's recovery because they want me to also take part?' Elysia asked in wonder in her mind.
Nevertheless, she immediately repaired Ariel's energy pool. She made a blockade so Ariel would no longer use the imperfect forbidden magic.
"You should be fine now. Your lifespan has been restored to what it was before, with a small bonus. You will live to be a thousand years old even if you don't make another breakthrough. How are you feeling now?" Elysia patted Ariel's back tenderly.
"My energy flow is back to normal and stable. I feel much more alive than before. Master Elysia, everyone, I thank you for your care. You took a great length just for me." Ariel bowed gratefully to Elysia and the Goddesses.
Ella also expressed her gratitude to everyone. Elysia treated everything like it was no big deal as she didn't want to take all the credit for Ariel's full recovery either.
"Haha, you are our own people. Don't be so formal." Elysia waved her hand, then returned to Elena's side.
'My dear sister, resurrection is the highest taboo in healing magic, then how about life energy recovery to extend lifespan?' Elysia asked via telepathy in a private transmission.
'You might get different answers and explanations if you asked Lifa or Nell. However, since you asked me, the answer is that there is nothing taboo in witchcraft. People banned it and called it a taboo simply because such a technique was too dangerous to be allowed to exist. Everything involved in healing techniques is similar to methods of sacrifice, whether it's from one's self, the patient themselves, or using outside factors.' Elena expressed her personal opinion. She spoke only to Elysia, so she wasn't afraid that anyone would object.
'I see...' Elysia already understood that, but she became more convinced the more she studied healing techniques. Everything related to healing magic was dangerous, not gentle despite the calming effect.
"I wondered why the Heretic God *nom* took so long to *munch-munch* deal with his dog? Did something happen in the Underworld?" Sylvia opened the topic of conversation while eating her snacks. Her voice was messy, but everyone understood what she was saying.
"Ugh, that one is refining some demonic energy or something. I have notified the other Gods regarding our departure this evening, and they should arrive in time." Nell snorted as she remembered her earlier conversation with Xero.
"But, what are we going to do while waiting for dusk to come?" Vanessa raised her hand.
"We've done all the preparations, but are anyone feeling nervous?" Rhea looked around, and sure enough, she noticed several people feeling restless and uneasy.
"How about playing some games?" Yuuki took out her treasure box. All games made by Elysia personally were stored there.
"Uhm, we just had lunch, and I'm sleepy. Let me have a quick nap." Yae rubbed her eyes and went to the sofa, sleeping on the pillow.
"After eating and going straight to bed... Are you a little dragon like them?" Morfina shook her head as she stared at the sleeping little dragons and the lazy fairy.
"Bring it on!" Sylvia accepted the challenge.
The girls then joined the game, and it made everyone peaceful again. No one felt nervous since Elysia and the Goddesses were being casual.
Xero, Oceanid, and Regulus came to the Dwarven Continent's capital city moments later, with their preparations well underway.
The big spaceship was already at the prepared launch site when the sun slowly set over the western horizon.
Lifa originally intended to use the spaceship outside the planet's atmosphere. Still, the Dwarven Emperor Nuraddir requested to carry out the launch at a place that had been prepared to become the historic launch of the first generation spaceship.
"Please have a safe journey." Nuraddir represented the Dwarven Emperors to send the divine group away.
"We will strengthen the seal of the Ruvoid Gods to buy us sufficient preparation time. Make sure to properly monitor each sealed area. We are close to the unavoidable battle." Elena raised her hand in farewell and entered the spaceship.
Elysia and her group spoke for nothing more and entered the spaceship. Everyone around the spaceship immediately took a safe distance.
"First Generation Spaceship in position. Runway clear, ready for launch in ten, nine, eight--" Someone from the control room announced the countdown.
"This is supposed to be like an airplane launch, but why do I feel we are in a rocket?" Elysia muttered softly while glancing left and right. She then reminded several individuals. "We will fly straight to the moon. Activate your spacesuit system now."
"Ah, okay." Lyla was surprised and immediately activated her spacesuit without delay.
"Three, two, one, launch!" The spaceship interface announced the departure with a robot-like voice.
The spaceship entered launch mode, and the superjets propelled it flew straight through the sky at an impressive speed. The spacecraft left a trail of bluish light, giving the impression of a comet flying into space.
"Energy field, active." Lifa activated the protective mechanism manually because some girls couldn't bear the pressure of passing through the planet's atmosphere.
"Succeeded through the atmosphere. Energy field minimized. Moon destination locked. Flying at a steady speed. Estimated journey of twenty minutes." The spaceship interface reports the current situation.
"Phew... It feels like going through high pressure. It was really hard just to breathe just now." Evelyn panted as she broke into a cold sweat.
"Vrelenia's atmosphere is unique, and there has a special layer that blocks the world's energy from escaping. It gives great pressure if we pass through that layer. Everyone okay?" Elysia explained a bit.
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy. Let me regulate my energy for a moment." Ella waved her hand to reassure everyone.
"Tch, why did you bring these little girls on this dangerous journey? They are pathetic and can't do anything." Regulus snorted derisively.
"This can be a valuable experience for them. We are not there to fight it out. Also, do you know why we need this spaceship when we can fly straight to the moon without the aid of any items?" Rhea unbuckled her seatbelt, then glanced sideways.
"Why?" Regulus became curious ever since that was clearly said.
"That's because we need to bring some materials that will be placed there without using magic. Any space related magic is also sealed around the moon temple. This spaceship will transport items near there without using magic later. Everyone below Emperor-level will remain be on the spaceship to aid our escape in case something unexpected happens." Rhea outlined the itinerary for this trip.
"Oh, then what are you going to do with that one? Why did you let the last Ruvoid Avatar live? Also, that Zera girl looks weird." Regulus pointed suspiciously at the nearby girls, especially the clad in maid uniform.
"You'll find out in time. Just follow the plan. Our only priority is to visit the moon temple. First, strengthen the seal of the Ruvoid Gods, and collect information regarding the Gods from our side." Rhea held up two fingers.
"Yeah, the Ruvoid Gods sealed in the moon temple may be beyond our expectations. We need to know the situation of both sides with great caution." Oceanid folded his arms, staring at the moon in front of him with a solemn gaze.
'Woah, this is the starry sky, the space of the universe that Ely was talking about!'
no//vel//bi/n[.//]net'
'There are so many luminous celestial bodies!'
'So, in this vast universe, there are so many planets and stars. There are obviously many, many civilizations, right? Not just our world and Earth.'
'That's obvious. See how vast this universe is. There must be beings even more dangerous than the Ruvoid Gods.'
'Yeah, so make sure to cultivate well if you want to take part in Ely's future journey. Vrelenia is never a destination, it's just the start.'
The girls conversed with each other via spirit telepathy while looking at outer space in awe.
