Chapter 233: Eastern Ocean
Chapter 233: Eastern Ocean
The journey to the eastern ocean using Morfina and Yae’s floating ships, known as the El-Fai Merchant Fleet, was peaceful and smooth.
They were traveling at maximum speed, assisted by a speed booster from Elysia’s magic.
On the way, Elysia designed a divine artifact to assist her in finding a suitable method to counter the super anti-magic.
’There are creatures with physical damage immunity and ones with magical damage immunity. We need something to ignore those rules, the penetration force, the true final damage. Not just within my domain.’ Elysia tapped her chin, deep in thought.
’We can still handle those monsters if they are much weaker than us, but it’s troublesome if they are above 9th Rank.’
’But, our domain cannot last long before the Ruvoid God because it is still a magical domain.’
’Hmm, then we need an absolute domain. Ely’s domain is the scariest, but she can’t use it for long.’
’Yeah, we need to develop Ely’s domain. Once it evolves, not even the strongest Ruvoid God can survive it.’
’Then, what about Sera? She has marked us, and will find our Ely sooner or later. We might need to fight her too...’
’Sera put her interest in our Ely. So, if she wished for another move exchange, then...’
’I don’t want Ely to self-sacrifice. Not ever again! Our aim should be how we can defeat Seraph of the End, not Ruvoid God.’
Ai emphasized her words because they were critical. It was only a matter of time before they found the countermeasure to deal with the Ruvoid Race’s super anti-magic. However, they would still encounter a dead-end if they faced the Seraph of the End from the Boundless Realm. They had to find a way to defeat that multi-cultural being.
’Yes, that’s true... but we need to think about a solution to this problem. Let me finish this divine artifact blueprint first, then we can do a magic test against Zera’s anti-magic projection.’ Elysia continued her blueprint design.
Once the design was complete, she saved the blueprint in her space storage. Her family already possessed most of the required materials, but several elements were still missing.
Based on Dory’s information, the deep sea possessed several materials with anti-magic effects.
Based on Xenia’s quick scan, the valuable materials and rare resources buried deep in the seabed could be up to five times more abundant than in the mainland.
Collecting more precious materials and resources for their side quests would be best.
"Ah, uh..." Amy woke up from her sleep, looking around in confusion. It was an unknown room and environment.
She held her head because she suddenly felt a little dizzy, but the recollection of what had just happened suddenly came to her mind. She divulged many of Heaven’s secrets to the Supreme Goddess prematurely!
There was a better time for the Supreme Goddess to know everything. Still, she leaked it even though her Lord had placed restrictions and reminded her repeatedly to be careful!
"That wine!" Amy clutched her head with both hands with a pale face.
She possessed the 16th Rank power with the 4th layer of the Heavenly-tier body constitution. Yet! She was dead drunk just from a bottle of wine, the evil wine!
"Oh, you are sober, my wine friend. Please have a drink. This does not contain any intoxicating substances, just refreshing mineral water." Elysia offered a bottle of mineral water to Amy.
"My lady, you harmed me! Why did you do that to me?" Amy still couldn’t believe she had fallen into the Supreme Goddess’ clutches.
"Hm? How have I harmed you? We just had lunch together, drank grape juice, and talked like old friends." Elysia put her hand to her cheek and looked at the people around her.
"You are weak towards wine, yet you claim to be a wine lover. You even called our master your wine friend, and now you say our master harmed you? This joke is not even funny."
"Hm-mm, you said everything according to your will. We didn’t force you to talk, though?"
"Yup, we value friendship and honesty. You got drunk from drinking too much wine, and our master was even kind enough to listen to all your complaints."
Fortuna, Luna, and Yuuki returned the blame to Amy. They never harmed Amy, only made the other party very drunk, and then Elysia cast a magical effect to soothe one’s soul and weaken any restrictions in Amy’s body. That way, Amy could divulge anything without any restraint.
"This..." Amy was at a loss for words. She couldn’t tell whether this Supreme Goddess played with her or she was the careless one here. All she had to do was refuse the wine, but she accepted it and kept drinking until she got drunk.
"But, why am I the only one drunk? That wine is potent enough to make an Immortal drunk, but you are still mortals..." Amy stood up with a clenched fist. She felt something was wrong.
"Hmm, you are the honorable guest, and only you get that special offer. We only drink grape juice. As the faithful servants of the Supreme Goddess, we can’t let ourselves get drunk, right?" Luna unfolded her folding fan to cover her smirk.
"No way... did you frame me? But you don’t have any malice. How? If it’s like this, my Lord will be very angry..." Amy slumped down to the ground.
"He has no reason to be angry with you as long as you assist us as a good helper. It was his fault for playing secretive with us. He’s not sincere enough, especially when he wants our help." Elysia made a steeple of her fingers.
"You trapped me... What do you want me to do?" Amy felt complicated.
"Just assist us for all our causes. We will appreciate it if you can be honest and sincere with us. You are also still the liaison between us and Heaven Rank.
Your Lord gave you an easy task, and he probably already predicted everything. After all, girls are skilled at finding information and digging up the past~" Elysia answered with a dazzling smile.
"..." Amy could see the Supreme Goddess possessed many good karma, luck, and kindness. However, she felt that smile was like a devil’s smirk that would rule her on the path of no return.
She was trained to handle any difficult situation, including even the tricky God’s scheme. However, she couldn’t last long before the Supreme Goddess, the existence that even her Lord respected.
Regardless, she had already leaked the secrets and fallen into the trap. Thus, she had no choice but to tag along the pirate ship.

A few moments later, the easternmost peninsula of the Tearobis Great Continent could already be seen. However, some billowing smoke could be seen rising in the distance.
"Reporting to master. A horde of sea monsters attacked a village near the eastern coast. The village was destroyed, and it is estimated more than half of the villagers were kidnapped into the sea. What are your orders?" Xentia reported the situation, requesting a follow-up action order.
"How many survived? Are sea monsters still there?" Elysia stared into the distance with her Sacred Vision. She could see the ground was stained with blood, and the village burned down.
"Sixty-two people are hiding in a fortress near the village. Fifty are cultivators, and the rest are ordinary people. There are no sea monsters within a hundred-kilometer radius." Using her virtual screen, Xentia displayed an image of a fort near the village.
"That is their battle and struggle. The reinforcements from the nearby town will arrive to help them soon. We will find out about the attackers during our deep sea expedition. Keep advancing to the sea. Mermaid squads, are you ready to rule over the sea?" Elysia stood from the commander’s seat and looked at the mermaids on the ship’s hull below.
"Positive! We’re ready anytime, master!" Dory saluted toward the command room, and her mermaid squads followed suit.
---
The survivors in the fort were relieved when a fleet of magnificent, powerful-looking floating ships approached quickly from the west.
However, they felt confused and shocked when the fleet they thought was reinforcements just passed them.
Those floating ships poured water like rain onto the burning village to extinguish the fire without reducing their flying speed. They continued to fly towards the sea and just drifted away.
---
Elysia decided not to get involved in the case of the sea monster’s attack on the village and fortress near the cape because it wasn’t necessary. Still, they would find out the mastermind behind the attack later.
Xentia’s ES Nirvana was already above the ocean, waiting in invisible mode. The Blue Soul Fox Fleet was also waiting at the meeting coordinates.
"Morfy, Yae, are your warships made for underwater travel and combat like the Blue Soul Fox’s fleet?" Miko came closer and asked while pointing at the warships in the distance.
"Err, no... we are only proficient in land, sky, and sea surface combat." Morfina pressed her fingers together. She glanced at the pink fairy next to her, but their fleet still wasn’t constructed for underwater battles.
"Then, we will board Xentia’s submarines and Luna’s warships. Raise altitude and enter ES Nirvana." Miko waved her hand at her mama and Xentia.
"Understood. Terminal Three’s gate is open." Xentia looked up.
The super space mothership in the sky received the command and emerged from its invisibility. The Terminal Three’s gate opened, waiting for the El-Fai Merchant Fleet to enter.
"!!!" The Blue Soul Fox’s personnel gasped in surprise when they discovered a substantial foreign object had been above them without them knowing.
The merchant fleet they had been waiting for finally arrived, but those floating ships flew higher and entered that massive thing in the sky.
A few minutes later, several submarines were ejected from there, falling from the sky, but soon stabilized themselves in the air before landing smoothly on the sea surface.
