Chapter 666: Heretic God is Triggered
It was the second day since Elysia, and her group arrived in heaven realms. During that time interval, all they did was explore the world above the sky while scanning for any curse energy, meditating, eating, resting, and sleeping.
"Dave, where are we now?" Elysia asked while looking up at the golden sky. She felt they were close to the seventh heaven, but she felt a bit exhausted. Exploring the three layers of heavens in a day was quite tiring.
"We only need to ascend one more heaven, and we will arrive at the seventh heaven. We can visit the Divine Association, the God-King, and the Council. I'm sorry to say this, but isn't it time for all of you to tell me about your next plans?" Dave also looked up and answered confidently.
"For now, we want to rest first. It is getting late, and we are afraid that a clash will occur tomorrow morning." Elysia muttered softly.
"You all plan to head straight to the Council? I suggest that you go to the Divine Association first." Dave tilted his head slightly.
"We'll go there later, after confirming something in the Council. We don't need to go too far into their territory as we will only scan for any curse energy. Curse-bearing creatures cannot escape our scanning even if they use perfect disguise or camouflage." Elena stroked the adorable little girl's head on Elysia's lap. Rhea was still not fully recovered due to the ineffective recovery time in the last two days.
"I see... This place is safe and perfect if you want to spend the night in the open." Dave nodded and flapped his wings. He flew to a nearby tree and perched there.
Moments later, Sylvia came over with a basket full of fresh fruit and vegetables. A cat and a large crow also approached, carrying a sack.
"Ely, everyone, we've returned with lots of heavenly food ingredients~ They're all free." Sylvia waved her hand high with a radiant smile on her face.
"Welcome back, Sylvi, Vann, Tic. Would you like to have dinner with all the ingredients from your jungle exploration?" Elysia waved her hand in reply.
"Hehe, why not, Ely? All of Earth's heavenly foods are free and easy to obtain. Everything is delicious and superb. Heavenly ingredients cooked with your divine cooking skills will produce ultimate-tier cuisine at the top of the majestic pyramid." Sylvia drolled just to imagine it. These two days were indeed a culinary revelry in the form of an exploration of paradise, if she may say so.
"Okay, let's camp here. You will all help with the cooking, or there will be no servings for you." Elysia smiled in amusement because of Sylvia's unique presuppositions.
"Mkay~" Sylvia agreed, and Vanessa repeatedly nodded in response.
While Xero only gave a silent approval. At least, what he would eat here was much better than those spirit seeds.
At the camping and open dinner held by the Elysia group, a group of winged people happened to be crossing the area. They were chasing a small snake that was flying like a comet.
"Hey, what's that over there?" Xero squinted his eyes while looking up. He could see some foreign creatures were passing in the sky far above.
"That... Is that a bird?" Vanessa muttered.
"No, it's a white comet." Sylvia put her hand to her forehead to block the twilight light.
"A comet being chased by a group of angels?" Rhea hesitated and looked up as well.
"Are they chasing a fugitive from heaven? Do we need to help them?" Elysia asked for Elena's opinion.
"Well, just leave them with their heavenly affairs. Look at Dave, he's from the Divine Association, but he's still chilling up there." Elena shook her head and pointed her finger at the nearby dove.
"Hmm, let's just watch them with great interest. I'll butcher that white snake if it dares to mess up my dinner party." Xero snorted and went back to his job of chopping up the meats, fruits, and vegetables.
If it was the past him, he would obviously not do such a thing. However, his inner desire and ego succumbed miserably two days ago when he ate the heavenly ingredients that Elysia cooked. He didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't deny it either.
The entire Devil Race would probably be surprised to see how a Devil God, now a Heretic God, would help a human cook some cuisines as if he no longer possessed a sovereign's arrogance or superiority.
Unfortunately, the chase in the sky in the distance somehow got closer to Elysia's camp in the forest.
*Pew* *Pew* *Pew*
The angels cast light magic to catch the little white snake. However, it was tough because the little snake flew so fast and agile in dodging.
*Bam!*
A stray light strike landed a few meters from Elysia's camp. A small shockwave occurred.
*Swoosh*
Rhea was tasting a small bowl of heavenly chowder, but the blow came without any prior notice. It was a pretty weak blast and harmless, but her small bowl fell to the ground.
*Splash*
The heavenly chowder splashed onto Xero. He was just minding his own business, but now everything was intolerable.
"Damn it!" Xero looked at the wasted food with his bloodshot eyes and shouted in anger.
"It wasn't on purpose, I'm-" Rhea was about to apologize, but Xero immediately flew into the sky at high speed. "I'm sorry, hm? He mad at them?"
"Fufu, I thought he was furious because he was splashed by the hot soup, but it seems the cause is something else. Every bit of Elysia's cooking is precious, and these heavenly ingredients shouldn't be wasted." Elena covered her mouth and looked up.
"Mm, every pure energy contained here is a treasure for recovery." Rhea nodded in understanding and stirred the heavenly chowder. She had to make sure this dish was cooked to perfection, just like Elysia's instructions.
Everyone then looked up. The clash occurred a few hundred meters up there. However, a flash of shadow suddenly joined the chaos.
"You shall bear my wrath!" Xero spreads its wings with pitch-black flames smoldering around him. He instantly beat all the individuals in the sky, without exception.
He was only less than a quarter of his prime strength, but his dark magic was superior before these light attribute creatures. The battle ended with the crow as the sole winner.
No one was killed, but a squad of angels fell to the ground with multiple burns and bruises.
The white snake was the one who suffered the most severe injuries because Xero thought all problems came from this snake.
"Hmph! You are all weak, but you all dare to invite my wrath. Pathetic. Count you lucky because my business down there is not finished." Xero threw the white snake at the angels on the ground and returned to Elysia's group. The kitchen business wasn't done, and his time was too precious.
*Thud*
The pitiful snake fell to the ground and bounced slightly.
"What, what's with that black eagle... How could he commit such violence so cruelly? A devil in heaven? How could that happen?" The white snake convulsed and muttered in agony. His entire body was burning, and it really hurt. But he couldn't move because of the devil's signature evil energy.
"My apologies for the inconvenience and the violence. I'm currently with the distinguished guests, and your clash comes at an inappropriate time. O angels, the runaway God has been brought down. You can restrain him now and take him to the Divine Association. We need to direct, enlighten, and guide the lost to the right path." Dave landed near the angry and upset angels. He explained things casually.
"That's you, Dave? Distinguished guests? Even if that's true, that pitch-black bird is an evil devil that attacked us for no reason! I Virza, the God of Virtue, won't accept this!" One of the angels took off his disguise with rage. He pointed his finger at the bird who was cutting some food.
"That's because your magic fell near us. He was furious, and you became an outlet for his anger. Let's count that as peace because he helped you bring down the runaway God. This is only for your information; do not offend them because they are foreign divine entities with an unknown powerful law. The Earth Mother even warned the God-King to be careful, and I am here to escort them to the seventh heaven." Dave tried his best to mediate and reconcile the situation.
"It's just a minor burn. Would you like some help to heal your wounds? Our little Tic has avoided inflicting serious injuries, for you to know." Elena heaved a subtle sigh and came to face the winged people.
"No, there's no need. We need to take the God who escaped to rehab immediately. I'll reconfirm your information just now, Dave. See you later." Virza gave a signal to his angels to restrain the white snake.
The angels then put the white snake into the cage of light. They then flew away.
"This will never end! The God Game can't be stopped by you all! There are still so many Gods and Goddesses from fourteen realms involved in the Council's great event! You all just- mgff!" The white snake called out like a madman, but it didn't last long because a wisp of light silenced his mouth.
"You can talk when we arrive at the base. For now, please remain silent. The Council has misguided you all with deception." Virza sighed and continued to fly through the golden sky.
Elena and everyone else just watched the group of angels leave until there was nothing more to see but the golden sky.
