Chapter 318: Their Respective Tasks
Chapter 318: Their Respective Tasks
"Our master will leave tomorrow..." Yuuki muttered softly while staring at the virtual screen in front of Xentia.
"Hum, master needs to ensure the path to the other world is safe. We will go to Earth and then Vrelenia, but we must train against the real Immortal beasts in this secret realm to prepare for our first visit to the Divine World." Morfina grabbed one of Yuuki’s fluffy fox tails and put it on her lap like a blanket.
Yuuki could understand her master’s reasons. She then looked to the side. "I will look forward to our turn. Uriel, you are the strategist on our team. Do you have a plan for our hunt?"
"I already have several exploration paths. This secret realm is so vast and has three layers. However, these three spots look unusual, and most likely, the local overlords made them their treasury vaults." Uriel pointed to three spots on the rough scan map.
It was the map from Megami’s realm scan, and it was given only to the Elysium members. Those on the same team as the main group elders could enjoy many extraordinary benefits and privileges!
"Wonderful, but our group only consists of one magic caster, magic archer, support, and err... can you be a vanguard or tank?" Morfina pointed to herself, Yuuki, the sleeping fairy on her head, and then Uriel.
"E-eh?" Uriel widened her eyes.
Her light purple eyes usually shimmered with the gleam of tranquil wisdom, but she was currently so astounded.
She could advance to become the universal warrior, but to be the vanguard in front of two elders, not to mention a tank... her position in the team was always in the middle or at the rear as the long-range attacker!
"That can’t be done, Morfi. Uri is a magic caster, too. She can’t be a tanker. Let’s use our magic tricks to replace the tank or the distraction later." Yuuki shook her head.
"Huuhuu, I’m sorry." Uriel looked down. She previously thought her team was the luckiest one because it was the only group with three internal elders from the main group, but the team balance was ridiculous.
"It’s okay. We are here to hunt and train. Our opponents are the Immortal monsters suppressed by world laws. We need to be extra careful to achieve the best result." Yuuki glanced at the nearby bed. Mike was sleeping on Xentia’s lap pillow.
"Hm?" Xentia glanced at a particular virtual screen. Her drone discovered a massive demonic monster in the distance had just stepped on someone’s death, and the participant’s life talisman went out.
"It’s only been a few minutes, and someone is already dead." Uriel sighed, not thinking much about it since it wasn’t Sacred Sakura’s people.
"The inevitable risk on the path to immortality. They only have themselves to blame for being careless despite moving in a group." Xentia spoke as if she didn’t care, but she sent her command to launch a long-range missile to distract the massive monster and give the surviving people time to escape.
*Boom!*
The explosion hit the massive monster, making it furious, chasing towards the source of the attack. Unfortunately, it could find nothing, and the previous tiny humans disappeared somewhere.
After that, Xentia sent more drones out of her pocket dimension artifact. Those drones spread widely to monitor her fellow sisters and other participants from afar. She wouldn’t participate in the hunting, but she could still send her mechas and dolls for it. She would also help her fellow sisters by providing them with remote assistance.

Meanwhile, Lifa led her Goddess team to enter the forbidden zone, the core region in the secret realm’s third dimension layer, with a 100% corrosion rate.
Even a 10th Rank powerhouse couldn’t last long there, but they were divine beings with divinity beyond the mortal boundary. Not to mention, Zera was there to help them overcome the corrosion.
"We have two objectives. Let’s join forces to clean this region first." Lifa turned around, facing her Goddess sisters.
They were divided into two teams, but when they arrived at the most dangerous area, they joined forces again.
"This corrosion rate is so harmful... As expected of the Heavenly Rebel’s secret realm. If Ely and Megami had not weakened this secret realm, we would have found it difficult to survive, let alone explore this place." Fortuna checked the air contamination with a solemn expression.
"The Immortal beasts in front of you are the divine beasts at the 14th Rank and 15th Rank, the guardian class that protects the Phantom Palace. Megami killed one while mapping this area, and the others were ready to ambush. They have already noticed our arrival." Zera pointed to the dark palace in the distance.
It was hard to see because of the fog of corrosion, but she knew the palace was there because of Megami’s rough map.
"Alright. Let’s wreck this region and wipe out those Immortal monsters of corruption. We need to weaken the Heavenly Rebel’s forces before she reincarnates." Nell grasped her fist, ready for action.
"Please activate your divine sense all the time to anticipate unexpected dangers and also to find the realm core." Rhea looked right and left, but she still couldn’t spot the realm core’s traces in the slightest.
She finally understood why Elysia and Megami couldn’t find the realm core easily. There was no clue or trace whatsoever. The realm core is truly afraid, hiding in the unknown, abandoning the authority over the secret realm so as not to be detected by anyone.
"Let’s move." Lifa beckoned to everyone to advance further.
She was eager to test the results of her training at Elysia’s Memorial Arena and the Simulated Universe against the Ruvoid’s curse simulation.
The corrosion in this unknown secret realm was similar to the weaker version of Ruvoid’s curse. This opportunity would become their precious experience to face the biggest threat in their previous world.
Zera was an exception since she was the curse herself. That was why she took the lead next to Lifa. Rhea, Fortuna, and Nell immediately followed behind in a structured mud formation.
Since Elysia and Elena weren’t there, they had to solve everything using their capabilities. They wished to show Elysia the fruits of their practice.
While everyone was exploring the unknown secret realm as opportunists, Elysia fell asleep after exchanging good night wishes with Miko via telepathy.
She cultivated in sleep between Elena and Ai. Megami meditated in the Elysian Realm, developing her divinities under Elysia’s instructions.
The peaceful night passed, and the morning sun rose. Elysia woke amidst a heavenly embrace.
"Morning, Lil Ely~" Elena gave Elysia a good morning kiss on the forehead.
"Hm-mm~ morning..." Elysia gently rubbed Elena’s cheek, but she had just realized that Elena was lying on top of her, looking at her eyes with a beaming, sacred golden sun gaze.
When she thought about it again, Elena was always at her spirit’s side. It had been a while since Elena and she had a physical skinship, especially since Elena’s punishment in the past after messing around with her helpless spirit.
"We’re going to another world today. Our people are also having fun while training in the unknown secret realm. What about Megami?" Ai rested her head on her arms, looking at Elysia and Elena beside her.
"Yup, we’ll be leaving soon. Megami’s preparation is almost finished in the Elysian Realm. Let’s check on Zi Xuan and Amy." Elysia put her arms around Elena’s waist. She propelled her body to sit and put Elena beside her.
Elysia briefly checked her Elysium Group Chat’s history to check everyone’s situation. She then opened her Sacred Heaven Grimoire to inform her of her early arrival at the Heaven Channel. After that, she stood up, ready to go.
"Hmm... do you want to go out in that sexy nightgown, Ely? I’m afraid you will make many people’s hearts flutter." Elena tugged at the hem of Elysia’s nightgown with a teasing smile.
"Oh, right..." Elysia looked down and felt a little embarrassed. She flicked her fingers, and a gorgeous white winter dress enveloped her body instantly.
She did the same to instantly change Elena and Ai’s dress. After that, they went to see Amy in the recovery chamber.
"Hm?" Amy opened her eyes when she felt the arrival of several people.
"Amy, we are going to the Divine World today. How about your recovery?" Elysia manifested a chair from magic and leaned her arms on the bathtub’s rim, checking Amy’s condition with her eye ability.
"Wha-" Amy immediately covered her breasts and private parts. She soaked in this slimy recovery liquid naked, and it made her a little embarrassed because the Supreme Goddess suddenly appeared next to her.
"All good. I feel much better. Thank you for your help, Goddess Ely. But, but... can you please let me wear clothes first?" Amy’s voice grew smaller, and her embarrassment grew bigger under Goddess Ely’s intense gaze.
"Ely is checking your condition. You are an old Goddess with eons of living experience. Why are you blushing like a virgin?" Elena crossed her arms and squinted her eyes.
"Ah, uh... how rude. I just can’t help it. Goddess Ely is the Supreme One." Amy voiced her protest in an almost inaudible voice.
"Your condition has greatly improved, but you haven’t recovered yet. It’s not even 10% of your prime condition. Can you stand up and put on your own clothes? Let me help you. Don’t be so embarrassed, as we’re all girls here." Elysia nodded in understanding. She stood up and stretched out her hand for help, knowing Amy was still weak.
Since Elysia had already said so, Amy had no reason to refuse.
"To think the situation would turn out like this…" Amy muttered softly as she looked up at the sky. She felt lost, with mixed feelings of embarrassment, nervousness, and fear.
The embarrassment came from Goddess Ely’s earlier help. She was nervous because the Supreme Goddess would ascend earlier than expected, but the reason was not in her favor. And fear because she knew a punishment awaited her.
"Don’t be too nervous, Amy. If He-Dao scolds you, I will beat him. You are a good subordinate. Huh, wait... please pardon my rudeness. Can you tell me the Heavenly Agent’s relationship with your Lord? You are not one of his three thousand concubines, right?" Elysia widened her eyes and covered her mouth upon that sudden supposition.
"Wha, what!? I, I am just an Agent of Heaven. How, how am I, my Lord’s concubine!?" Amy was startled and stuttered due to both embarrassment and expectation.
