Chapter 290: Bickering

"What!? Did you just call me a nagging G.o.ddess? Compa.s.sion, you say? I was battered several times and vomited blood because I wanted to stop you. Smelly black, Shiro, you idiot! Wait until I tell this to my big sister. You will get in trouble!" Nell was triggered immediately upon hearing Xero"s grumble.

"Tsk, that parasite? I"ve mastered the curse energy. What can she do if she"s really still alive? Your big sister can"t hurt me with her magic, and neither can you. Go ahead, just snitch on her. I would love to fight her." Xero folded his arms across his chest proudly and arrogantly.

If it was in the past before the world war, he would be wary of that G.o.ddess. However, it was history now. With his new power, he didn"t worry about anything... Not cursed creatures, and not that parasite G.o.ddess.

"That..." Nell was at a loss for words in an instant. If that was true and magic didn"t work, then the Evil G.o.d might be superior to any other G.o.d.

Even the strongest G.o.d, Zadtris, would be in trouble if he needed to face the current Evil G.o.d. It was no different than against G.o.d-level cursed creatures, albeit more intelligent.

Perhaps, even the strongest G.o.d had no other choice but to seal the current Evil G.o.d if they needed to fight.

"Hmph! You are nothing without that curse energy, only bully the weaker ones. You-" Nell grunted and babbled. She was being unreasonable, but she didn"t care. However, Xero immediately interrupted her words.

"I managed to master curse energy because of my own efforts and hard work after facing countless failures. I got what I stand for. "Their" sacrifice will not be in vain." Xero looked at his hands with a grin. One hand with Dark Magic and the other with Cursed Magic.

Both types of magic possessed a jet-black aura, almost identical... It suited him perfectly. It was as if he was born for that absolute power. Not to mention, he also possessed the cursed creature"s perfect unique trait, namely high magic resistance and many more.

Elysia only let out a subtle sigh. What she heard was nothing more than bickering between two rather childish divine beings.

However, Nell suddenly had a bright idea to counter the Evil G.o.d"s smug behavior. "Hmph! Say that in front of the G.o.ddess who helped you from the brink of corruption. The G.o.ddess of Light is my grandG.o.dmaster. You are still in trouble. You can"t win against my grandG.o.dmaster no matter what, so double trouble."

The corner of Elysia"s mouth twitched at once because of that. Nell called her grandG.o.dmaster because of an intention to drag her involved.

"Oh really? Interesting, I also want to test my new strength with a strong opponent. Sun, I heard that you are a top-tier G.o.ddess. What a coincidence, be my opponent and accompany me tonight with lots of power clashes." Xero was delighted to hear that. He grinned and prepared to attack at any moment.

"You want to fight me? But I don"t have the same enthusiasm as you, Xero. Do you really want to test your strength on me, here and now?" Elysia raised her eyebrows. Xero was ambiguous enough, but she got the point.

"Hum," Xero confirmed briefly.

Elysia rolled her eyes. She confirmed her "threat" solution to Elena, and the response came as quickly as expected. Then, she smiled mysteriously on purpose.

"Nee, I"m still wondering. Where did all the particles and energy that go into a black hole? Did everything disintegrate into nothingness or just flung into the void in outer s.p.a.ce? Or maybe, just changing dimensions? Mm, you"re strong and invulnerable, right, Xero? Let"s try it out. But please come back to Vrelenia and tell me the answer." Elysia narrowed her eyes slightly, wary of Xero"s declaration.

To be honest, she wasn"t ready to fight any divine beings. Also, she was worried about the cause and effect of their divinity and the unknown.

Elysia"s hollow bluff sounded different to other ears. Xero a.s.sumed it was true. If the little black orb, which engulfed the dark clouds earlier, was named black hole, he would be in trouble if he fought this G.o.ddess.

Not to mention, this top-tier G.o.ddess was the one who helped him stabilize his curse energy just now. So, his new power was seemingly useless in front of this golden G.o.ddess. He didn"t fear anyone anymore, but it scared him a little if his guess was correct.

"Never mind, I can test my new strength at any time. After all, the G.o.d cla.s.s battle has great destructive power. I"m afraid the world will be shaken because of my current strength." Xero confined his intention for now. He still needed to adapt to his new power, and he lacked the confidence to fight on par with the G.o.ddess of Light, whom he nicknamed Sun.

"Heh, now you are afraid of being beaten black and blue. Are you afraid of the world being shaken? And you locked up our battle in your Darkness Domain. Why don"t you do that again?" Nell grumbled with discontent and reproach. Unfortunately, that didn"t have any effect on Xero.

"Anyway, you better stabilize that curse energy and adapt to your new power first. I wonder what will happen to someone who has the power of that accursed monster. You have that unique trait too. Emm, you can test your new strength with those accursed monsters in the future." Elysia pointed with her palm to look polite.

"Hey, I"m wondering... Why do you refer to those creatures as accursed monsters, Sun? We call them cursed creatures." Xero frowned. He didn"t get it from the start. Nell also thought the same. They both looked at the G.o.ddess of Light for an answer.

"Because that is their kind of name. If you ask me about the name of the accursed monster"s race, then only one answer you will get... Ruvoid Race." Elysia had no objection to share general information.

Well, she would ask the Evil G.o.d a lot of things the next time, after interrogating Nell, of course.

"What? How do you know that? Oh, I remember that you are also from another world. Do you come from the same world as that unknown race? Accursed monsters? Are you a foe or a friend?" Nell gave an accusation out of suspicion, though the anxiety followed. Meanwhile, Xero only narrowed his eyes and frowned.

"I eradicated those that appeared near Aeddoterra Kingdom"s capital city. The sealed area suddenly appeared out of nowhere above the ground and caused trouble. Foe or friend, it depends on the difference in att.i.tude." Elysia caught the chatty coc.o.o.n floating beside her. She looked at Nell, who sighed in relief, but was tense again at once.

"Wait, the sealed area near my house is damaged? When? Why didn"t I know that? What happened after that? P- Please tell me." Nell had a sudden panic attack.

"About two days ago. My precious disciple was there, by a ridiculous chance, seriously injured because of it. Where were you in the last month? My disciple didn"t know anything about your news until you sent that false emergency message." Elysia expressed her complaint in the name of her heart"s fairness.

"I- I... I went very far to other continents to confirm many things undercover. I just came back to Human Continent because I promised you, but this stupid Shiro did his stupid plan. Then, then I just-" Nell stuttered as she confessed. She couldn"t even stare at the G.o.ddess of Light"s golden eyes for more than two seconds.

"Hey-hey, don"t get me involved. You came here uninvited." Xero waved his hand as if to shoo people away.

"We have plenty of time to catch up with everything later. Be a good girl and keep your promises." Elysia smiled faintly.

"Mm." Nell just nodded.

Seeing that, Elysia raised her head to look at the Evil G.o.d. "Well, Xero, you are surprisingly quite civil despite the hostility between humans and devils, as you said earlier. Is there a way for me to contact you? I would like to exchange information and the like with you on another occasion."

"Hm, take this." Xero didn"t ask or anything. He only gave the requested thing with an ulterior motive in mind.

Elysia caught the black item coming at her with magic. It was like an ordinary scroll but had complicated runes around it, and it couldn"t be opened either.

However, her advanced perception felt a flash of transparent energy emanating from the black scroll. Somewhat similar to Pope Alexander"s talisman, but thicker and denser. If so, would this energy trail be used to track her down?

"How to use this black scroll?" Elysia asked with a clueless expression. The item she got was a bit unexpected.

"Use your telepathy to that black scroll. Your voice will reach me." Xero responded matter-of-factly.

Hearing that, Elysia put it to the test. "Trial one, can my voice be heard?"

"Audible. Use this for something important, or I will turn off this connection channel." Evil G.o.d"s rather husky voice sounded right after Elysia sent her telepathic test.

"Can this scroll track my whereabouts?" Elysia knew her guess was correct. She saw that the incoming and outgoing energy was clearly traceable.

"That is not important. The important thing is your voice arrived at me." Xero answered indifferently.

Elysia racked her brains for a moment, and the idea came after conferring with Elena.

"How about this, can you track me down?" After saying that using telepathy to the black scroll, Elysia put it into her s.p.a.ce Storage.

Xero raised his eyebrow because he really couldn"t trace anything from the scroll. The scroll just disappeared into thin air? What did that G.o.ddess just do?

"Where did the scroll go? I know you didn"t open any private dimensions." Xero asked in confusion.

"Secret." Elysia wagged her index finger for a "no" gesture.

"The woman and her countless secrets, huh." Xero shook his head helplessly.
