Chapter 518 - Trouble For Troublemaker (1)

"Are you sure you don"t want to come with us to the outside world? We could try some method or technique to get you out of this dimension." Elysia proposed kindness with some concern. She feels very sympathetic to this pitiful paper man.

"No, that"s not necessary, good girl. I"ll be fine here. Besides, I have to guard this maze"s core before you guys come back. What the G.o.ddess of Nature brought up just now really worries me too. It would be a great catastrophe if that G.o.d-level curse bearing monster ravaged the outside world without anyone knowing it." Shiki shook his head with clarity in his speech.

"Alright then. We"ll be right back with the Soul Foxes after helping Sea G.o.d take care of his horde of minions." Rhea nodded in understanding.

"Hey, they"re not my minions. After all, they"re another me, but have a bad luck. They"re just waiting for liberation and purification to make their way back." Oceanid folded his arms and harrumphed.

"Nee, if I may ask, what happened to the Evil G.o.d? It"s not that I care or anything to him, but I hope he gets stuck in some more troubles and predicaments." Sylvia smiled sweetly to say something quite evil.

"Oh, him? The Evil G.o.d has left the arena after killing Gas.h.a.g. He"s probably lost in the maze right now to lighten your load of exterminating all curse bearing monsters in this place." Shiki closed one eye and confirmed that. He then nodded with pride as if he had just done some good.

"Ooh~" Sylvia responded in a tone. She then took her s.p.a.ce Bag on the table and gave it to her friend. "Here, Ely. It would be a lot better if you were the one to look after this and keep it in a safe place."

"Uh-huh, um, alright. I"ll put this in a safe place. Uhm, once again, thank you very much for the gift, Shiki." Elysia simply put Sylvia"s black s.p.a.ce Bag into her s.p.a.ce Storage.

It was one with eleven other s.p.a.ce Bags inside, which contained a treasure trove of high-grade resource materials.

Sylvia blinked in surprise while trying to find out where her friend kept that s.p.a.ce Bag. However, she only pouted when Elysia just smiled at her.

"Well, think of it as a down payment on my request. I fell into poverty by you guys in less than half an hour, so I hope you won"t let me down." Shiki rolled his eyes.

"We"ll be back in a week at most. See you later." Nell waved her hand then signaled Oceanid to open the dimensional door for them to return to the maze.

Shiki responded to every goodbye and a wave of the hand that was given to him. He then sighed as everyone had already exited the separate dimension of his will.

*Swoosh*

He resealed the dimension and isolated it from the outside world. One week was a short time, but it became pretty long because the current situation was getting worse as time went on.

"So, those two are the lights in the prophecy... I hope it"s not too late before the inevitable day arrives. Isn"t that right, my friend?" Shiki looked up as if he could see what was hidden far above the ground and sky.

After that, he went to the table and lay there. "My time is running out. But... In the end, my mission is almost over."

Shiki closed his eyes and seemed to become an ordinary papercraft.

Meanwhile, Elysia and the others went in search of the Evil G.o.d to drag him away at the suggestion of Oceanid. Some anxiety arose because that battle frenzy G.o.d might intentionally or unintentionally cause big trouble if left unattended.

"Hahahaha! Feel my full power, Evil Punch!"

*Bam!*

A commotion could be heard echoing in the pa.s.sage.

"Well, it"s pretty easy to find that noisy G.o.d." Nell shrugged.

"But, what"s with that lame attack name? He"s not very creative in naming his moves." Sylvia snorted disdainfully. She felt pretty free and brave because she was already under divine protection.

"Maa, it looks like he is having fun. Err... Is he a psychopath? He is bathed in black and purple blood. Please don"t go near that man. His pungent smell can even be smelled from hundreds of meters away." Elena fanned her hands to create some fresh air around her group.

"Hum, Lord Sea G.o.d will drag that man away. Let"s wait here then." Sylvia nodded in agreement.

"..." Elysia felt that Elena and Sylvia had some similarities, namely their mischief and whims. If someone was included in their dislike list, then that person would always be wrong in their eyes.

"Tsk, tsk, it"s not nice to say that even if it"s only in your mind, Ely. It"s fine to be expressive and that"s the right word." Elena gave small feedback.

"Ehm, yeah..." Elysia decided not to say anything and just nodded. Elena also nodded happily in response.

Meanwhile, Oceanid stepped closer to the strange-smelling hall. There were many traces of destruction, then disgusting objects were scattered everywhere. Lots of curse auras were gathering around the Evil G.o.d. Yet, none of those harmful energies had any effect on that Evil G.o.d.

"Hey, Evil G.o.d, yo! Let"s get out of here now." Oceanid raised his hand for attention.

"Huh? Why should I listen to you, number eleven?" Xero frowned and waved his hand to remove a puff of cursed energy from his sight.

"I will seal this maze and this entire island in the sea. But, hehe... It would be a shame if you lost against the accursed under such circ.u.mstances. Just look at your current state. Anyway, in one week at most, we will remove the seal of the sealed G.o.d-level being down there to eradicate him for good." Oceanid replied casually but also with a provocation smirk.

"Huh? My divine power no longer has a major handicap in dealing with the accursed. They are nothing more than weak little bugs in front of me." Xero clenched his fists. He already felt confident enough to kill the G.o.d-level curse-bearing creature to clear his name.

"Are you sure you can do it? The one sealed here is really good at dimensional manipulation, you remember? If Sorush or Zadtris were still around, it probably wouldn"t be too difficult. But, right now, there are only a few of us left. Save your ego first and prepare yourself one week from now in this place." After saying that, Oceanid walked away as if his goal had been accomplished.

"Eh? You didn"t drag that man away from this place, O Lord Sea G.o.d? Aren"t you going to sink this entire island?" Sylvia was a bit surprised to see the Sea G.o.d just come alone.

"No, that"s not necessary. Let"s get out of here. The man just needs a few words from me, and I"m sure he will leave without us needing to do anything else." Oceanid shook his head and invited everyone to leave.

Sure enough, the Evil G.o.d came out of the room after exterminating the remnants of the surviving accursed creatures. He kept his distance from Nell"s group until they all returned to ground level.

"We will meet again here one week from now as you say. At that time, I will give all of you the privilege of witnessing my ultimate divine power. Farewell!" Xero shouted valiantly and then flew off toward the east without waiting for any response from the others.

"Hmm." Elysia snapped her fingers and revoked Elena"s layered barriers so the Evil G.o.d could leave without any problems.

"What"s with that guy? He"s so pretentious and narcissistic like we care about him so much?" Sylvia pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

"As long as he doesn"t cause us any trouble, then that"s fine. It will also make things easier if he can actually take care of that G.o.d-level curse bearing creature." Oceanid shrugged his shoulders.

"Eh, your black hair is melting, Sylvi." Sylvia felt somewhat surprised. She tried to check it, and it was like black liquid soaking Sylvia"s snow-white hair.

"Eh?" Sylvia was startled. She immediately checked her hair, and sure enough, the black color that dyed her hair slowly melted like ordinary water.

"Why is this happening? I haven"t even used liquid for hair dye removal yet." Sylvia felt both confused and astonished.

"It"s probably because of your half dragon bloodline. Sometimes, your body gets hot without you even realizing it and it makes your hair dye no longer effective." Rhea helped shed some light based on her a.n.a.lysis.

"Ooh, so it"s like that. But, how can I go before the others with this form? Either way, I look like a dangerous devil and I can"t use magic to disguise these wings, tail and horns… What should I do?" Sylvia pouted right away and felt a bit sluggish.

She then remembered something, then looked at her friend and her friend"s G.o.ddess master with a look full of expectation.

"No, please don"t comply with that request. She will see the wide world as she wants, but as a devil." Dylan interrupted all of a sudden.

"Why do you say that? I will only invite trouble and trouble will come to me even if I don"t want it if I continue to be in this form. What if humans attack me just because I"m there?" Sylvia folded her arms with a frown.

"You"re a trouble maker, to begin with. I heard you have some human friends, right? Let me visit them and let"s see how they respond when they see you as a devil.." Dylan smirked and flew into the air slowly.
