Chapter 280: Revive the Witch
Chapter 280: Revive the Witch
"I haven’t done it properly. If it were you... how should it be, master?" Xentia asked for punishment, but her master refused and went back to sleep. However, she was still unconvinced and tried to seek guidance.
"Your heart already guided you to do the right thing, though. If it were me... we would seal the Archangel first. As for what we would do after, that would vary, but I will ensure she will be a good puppet. Regardless, you did good, Xen." Elysia looked up at the starry night sky with several thoughts in mind.
If she thought about it again, if Miko would try to complete the quest related to the Archangel last month, then a situation like this wouldn’t have happened. They might be able to save the Archangel’s spirit, like in Xentia’s case.
However, it was the past, and everything had happened. Also, it was not their responsibility. There was no point to regret it. The guilty ones were still the evildoers, the perpetrators, and the sinners.
"Thank you for your guidance, master." Xentia bowed respectfully.
The spaceship had just entered the Nature Realm, returning to ES Nirvana. She controlled everything remotely as there were many things in her to-do list.
"Hehe~ Do you need help with the soul search? You are curious about how those weak humans can create such a high-level puppet, right?" Sylvia nudged Xentia’s arm with a mischievous smile.
"We’ve done it to those mad scientists. It’s such a crude technique. My advanced technology development is much better. I will be manufacturing 10th Rank puppets, mechs, and equipment soon." Xentia shook her head.
"But you were curious before, right? Then, what about the Archangel? You are going to make her vessel into a new type of puppet?" Morfina tried to inquire further to satisfy her curiosity.
"Yes. We will recreate her vessel into a good puppet doll for her punishment." Xentia answered bluntly.
"My lady... do you think we need to eliminate the forbidden knowledge and the corrupted power on this planet?" Amy went closer as she wanted to know Goddess Ely’s opinion.
"You won’t be able to eradicate them completely even if you want to, including your Lord. We can only pay more attention to the ones we encounter and the greater threat like the great evil." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.
"But, you are all-powerful..." Amy added.
"You are wrong. You have not met the higher being, the true celestial existence, the ones beyond the title God." Elysia emphasized her answer.
"!!!" Amy trembled mysteriously as if a cold wind blew at her nape and spread throughout her body. Goddess Ely gave her a hint about the higher being, and it scared her a little.
"Alright, let’s sleep. We’ll be a bit busy tomorrow. Fortuna, we will accompany you for the next three days in your treasure hunt." Elysia clapped her hands.
"Thank you. You can sleep, Ely. I will look after you." Fortuna smiled in reply.

Despite the recent turmoil that occurred outside, the day ended peacefully. Fortuna controlled her floating boat to take everyone to the Northern Realm.
For the following three days, Fortuna’s exploration team became quite large because of Elysia’s presence.
More and more people returned and joined the team until it could no longer be called one because there were already more than three dozen people.
The pitiful floating boat couldn’t accommodate everyone, and Xentia’s spaceship became the replacement for their exploration group’s transportation.
There were only two objectives: the resources needed to revive the dead witches and the treasures to craft Fortuna’s private dream world.
"Phew..." Fortuna wiped her sweat. Since Elysia joined the exploration, everything became efficient and interesting.
Unfortunately, she could only find a single treasure, the little space core crystal, in three days of deep exploration. Nevertheless, she was getting closer to her dream world.
"Since we are going to create a new one, it will take a while. A God usually takes their lifetime to craft one." Lifa patted Fortuna’s back.
"Mhm, yes. I completely understand. This is an exciting process. I also need to wait to ascend in rank. The current me is still unable to install the private world’s heavenly laws." Fortuna nodded in understanding.
"It will be worth the effort." Lifa replied with a meaningful gaze.
"Ely will revive the dead witch. Aren’t we going to watch?" Nell glanced at a particular room behind her. She had no idea why Lifa dragged almost everyone out to stare at the snowy land.
"Ruri is one of the 1st generation witches. Let her have a private moment of reunion with her sisters." Lifa rolled her eyes. It would be inappropriate to watch the newly revived someone because it was through a new body creation.
"It’s done. Welcome back to the world of living, Ruri." Elysia welcomed the newly revived witch. She held the mirror up to Ruri’s face.
"This is... I am finally no longer the ghost... I am alive." Ruri checked her long, silky hair and pinched her cheeks to make sure everything was real.
She then stared with excitement at her reflection in the mirror.
It was her, but more charming than the one in her memory. She regained her witch body, and it felt more amazing than she remembered. Magical energy felt like one with her.
"Ruri!" Alicia couldn’t contain her emotions and hugged her youngest sister.
The other witches also hugged Ruri. The youngest witch in the group was soon drowned in a sea of emotions. She sobbed with gratitude and joy.
A few moments later, the seven witches knelt before their Goddess to express their gratitude with Ruri at the front.
"I’ve received your feelings, but you need to get dressed immediately, Ruri." Elysia gave Ruri a new dress. This newly revived witch didn’t feel embarrassed, but she felt a bit awkward.
Ruri looked down to check her body. There was the divine light censorship that mysteriously enveloped her bare body.
She received the dress and wore it after expressing her gratitude once again.
"It’s the best to be alive!" Ruri felt excited because she could finally join the dinner with their Goddess and everyone!
Unfortunately, it was still midday, and the heavenly food would need to wait.
"Alicia, we have some excess materials. You can distribute them to other witch teams." Rhea handed over the storage pouch and a piece of paper to the witch queen.
"Alright, thank you for your assistance, Lady Rhea." Alicia checked the list. Some requirements were crossed out because the materials were already in the storage bag.
She then used her telecommunication talisman to notify all witch exploration teams regarding the updated requirements.
"Awesome work, master." Yuuki gently wiped her master’s forehead with a handkerchief.
"Thank you, Yuuki. I feel like taking a shower..." Elysia checked her slightly sticky hands.
She just dealt with many materials to create the blood, flesh, bones, and many other things to form a new complete witch body. Even though she could clean everything with magic, taking a warm shower, especially after a tiring day, was irreplaceable.
The exploration event ended today. The Elysion Church and Miko’s disciples already completed their duties and affairs. All Elysium members also already returned, except a particular ice dragon. So, it was time to relax.
"Master, we have prepared the ascension formation to welcome your breakthrough~" Rhea whispered softly.
"..." Elysia just wanted to relax, but she forgot that her Goddess sisters had prepared something for her.
With the resources they possessed, not to mention the gift from the Divine World, everyone wished for her to ascend to the 9th Rank in one go and the 10th Rank in another follow-up ascension.
"But that needs to wait until later. Master, let me clean your hands and rub your back~" Yuuki pushed her master into the shower room with great enthusiasm.
Rhea followed Elysia like a good assistant.
"Hey, are they joking, or is it for real? Our Creator God shall meet another breakthrough?"
"Yes, you heard it right because I heard it too."
"What is above 20th Rank. Do you know it, senior sister?"
The witches immediately looked at their eldest sister, expecting an answer.
Alicia, as the leader, the witch queen, and the senior of the witches, felt troubled. She didn’t even know much about the power rank in this world, especially the ones beyond mortal boundary...

In a particular region on the border of the Northern Realm and Human Realm, a young wizard looked up at the white sky with a slight relief.
He was still looking for materials to meet the requirements to revive his master. However, the witch queen just sent a notification that some materials had been found, and they just needed to look for the missing ones.
Ruri, the youngest 1st generation witch, had been revived perfectly. Hearing the news, he was sure he wasn’t the only one who felt excited.
"We only need to look for a dozen types of these materials, and then these requirements can be met when the time comes. Yosh!" The young wizard looked at the list and grasped his fist with burning determination.
"Ruri is super lucky. She was riding on the Creator God’s boat. But let’s return to our objective. Are you sure you want to become a new disciple at the Qinlan Sect, Lucius?" The witch ghost floated around her disciple’s head, staring at the magical mountainous land ahead.
"They offered an elemental fruit, the Earth Apple, to the 1st ranked new disciple in their entrance test this week. I couldn’t miss this opportunity, Master Medea." Lucius continued his journey towards the Qinlan Sect.
"Are you sure you can be at the top? Your master is happy... but we are already Sacred Sakura’s people. What will they think of us?" Medea felt a bit anxious.
"I will play double identity like the Sacred Sakura seniors. This will be a side thing. You don’t need to worry, master." Lucius tried to reassure his master.
His answer had a double meaning because his priority was never Sacred Sakura but his master. As for the Creator God... her wish was the same as their command.
"Okay, if you say so. Your master feels relieved." Medea nodded in approval. She then returned to the soul ring.
