Chapter 391: Forgiveness, Wish, and Promise

"You died not because you had a heart attack, but because I caused your death. At that time, I was seriously injured after being thrown into this world for no reason, and a dying black tiger came to my temporary hiding place. Whatever reason I had in defense, it was me who ended your life after you were ganged up by a troop of the human expert." Elysia told the truth to accept whatever awaited her. She had already discussed this with Elena, and she wanted to get peace of mind for having wronged this poor black tiger.

"So, it was you... Then, where is my body? I know that my current self is nothing more than a spirit or something subtle. Also, how did you meet my big sister?" Jimmy surprised him not to feel outraged to hear the truth of his death.

He actually felt a little relieved and ridiculous at the same time. So, he died from a heart attack sent to him by a Goddess hiding in a hidden cave because she was seriously injured, just like him? Well, at least his body wasn't abused by those evil humans.

"You can turn around. It is a tomb for you while your Energy Core is in your current form." Elysia pointed with her palm.

Jimmy turned around and could see a mound of earth with two tombstones on it. His name was engraved there with the addition of a sharp claw symbol.

Then, he at his semi-transparent body. He could see a reasonably large dark blue orb there. Well, it was him who was indeed small when compared to his majestic form.

"My meeting with your big sister happened the morning after the dark night of your death. We met-" Elysia gave a brief summary of her meeting with Vanessa.

Rhea, Nell, and Vanessa were silent and let Elysia talk to Jimmy. They knew that Elysia felt guilty for her actions and wanted to know what Jimmy would do after finding out the truth.

"Sigh... Even though I wasn't ended by your hands, I'm also unsure if I would survive that night. If fate had wished for my death, then there was no way out for me to live.

Instead of dying miserably at the hands of the evil humans, I'd rather die with honor at the hands of the divine. I barged into where you were resting in your injured state. It's only natural to get rid of outside threats.

I have no regrets because my turn almost arrives. However, I have one request, o Glorious Goddess." Jimmy sighed and looked into the purplish-blue eyes of the divine being before him.

"Your turn? Hm, all right, tell me your request, and I'll grant it if it doesn't go against my abilities, beliefs and rules." Elysia nodded in understanding as if she knew what Jimmy was talking about.

It was probably something about the afterlife, but she wasn't focused on that. She was pretty relieved that this black tiger did not hold a grudge against her.

"Hm, my only request is please take good care of my big sister. She really needs someone to look after her, and please never leave her for any reason. Even though she is quite abusive and violent, she is still a good tiger. Please promise me this." Jimmy smiled broadly with a peaceful expression as if he had been freed from the shackles of the world.

"I promise you even if you don't ask for it." Elysia gave a nod of agreement.

"Jimmy..." Vanessa felt touched and moved. She thought that Jimmy would go berserk after knowing the truth of his death. However, it seemed he became wise yet caring all of a sudden.

"Thank you, then... When are we going to Brisline Woodland to punish those conceited fire lions? If that's possible, I would like to know about my father, the previous Glaidan Region's Emperor, the fate of my mother's grave, and the current Winged Tiger Clan situation." Jimmy lowered his head slightly only to raise it again with sparkling eyes. He wanted to see those fire lions given a divine punishment by the divine. Beast God versus Human Goddess, Winged Tiger Clan, was now in the same position as Pyrogressive Lion Clan.

"Not until you understand what we are going to do. Besides, I want to know a few things from you. Please cooperate with me~" Elena came out of the Soul Realm and emerged herself.

"Whoaa! You surprised me, but who are you? Are you a Goddess? Why are you emitting a golden energy aura? Oh! That must be obvious. You are a divine being, too, right?" Jimmy fell on his butt. He asked only to be answered by himself.

"Pam-pam~ smart little tiger. Can you give me some answers to my confusion? What is the world of the dead like, and what does the afterlife exist? Who rules the laws there? Have you met the Absolute Law?" Elena clapped once, then continued on to her series of questions.

"Ah-uh, you're a divine being yourself, right? You can meet the rulers of that realm. I don't want my turn to be void because I reveal anything about that realm to you. Please forgive me!" Jimmy backed away a little. He did not dare to talk more about such matters even though he was forced to speak.

"There's more than one rulers in the realm of the dead, huh? Okay, I won't give you trouble. But you need to tell your clueless sister what you mean by 'your turn'. I think she needs to know, yes?" Elena just lifted her shoulder in a half shrug, and then she pointed her palm toward Vanessa.

"Um, sister, actually... I can't stay in this world any longer than a day. I will return to the realm of the dead when the sun rises tomorrow morning. I know that, somehow, even though no one told me, eh? It's quite strange when I think about it one more time." Jimmy scratched his head in confusion, but he was sure that would be the case.

"En, I knew. So, until the sun rises, we shall settle our grievances, then we will spend our time together until your time comes. Other than that, did you meet our father or mother in the world of the dead, Jimmy?" Vanessa took a deep breath before speaking. She changed the topic right afterward for her mental good.

"Honestly, I don't know. I suddenly appeared in that realm out of nowhere, then I seemed to know that I just had to wait there until my turn came. So, I was just sleeping, and you said that I died more than a month ago. But, it just feels so short to me." Jimmy patted his cheek to consider the possible time difference. Still, he gave up because thinking about such complicated things wasn't his forte.

"Oh right! This place is like Tiger Paw Forest. So, where are Uncle Theo and Aunt Leila?" Jimmy slapped his forehead and looked around in circles.

"Uncle Theo and Aunt Leila have been forcibly picked up by a group of fire lion. My guess is that they are already in Glaidan's capital city." Vanessa answered for her brother to know.

"Dammit! What are those savage fire lions planning? Are they so eager to make all of our clan members their slaves? Just as the Beast God is present as their backing, they act as they please! Divine punishment will be upon you, Pyrogressive Lion Clan!" Jimmy shouted toward the afternoon sky to send his curse.

"You'll see, my big sister and I already have two Goddesses as our backing. Even the Beast God won't be able to save your ass! That is if he dares to come to save you, hahaha!" Jimmy stood on two legs and laughed with his hands on his hips.

"Jimmy, actually, if you count like that, in this place right now, there are four divine beings." Vanessa felt quite embarrassed to see her brother act like that, especially to her master.

"Cough, cough... What do you say, o my dear big sister? I didn't hear that wrong, did I?" Jimmy coughed to find out it was four and not two. He wanted to make sure first.

"Yes, it's just you, me, and that brown tortoise that is mortal." Vanessa pointed her paw at a nearby tortoise.

"Ooh! Praise the Goddesses, blessings and glory!" Jimmy knelt once more, but this time he seemed to be worshiping something. He prostrated several times while sending a few prayer-like sentences.

Elysia, Elena, and the others just watched the black little tiger's ridiculous behavior.

When Jimmy was done, Elena shared with everyone a few critical points about what they were going to do at Brisline Woodland.

"Ooh! Solve the problem with a tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye. If we don't know the circumstances, force them to tell. I love that so much. Let me worship you as my Goddess, too, after I'm reborn. Hopefully, my memory won't be reset by the rules then. Then, I'll be your loyal, faithful follo-rawr!" Jimmy was too excited. He couldn't wait for the moment when they arrive at their destination, his family's homeland.

He didn't even notice that he had already blurted out some information even though no one had asked. When he already said that he would not say anything about the world of the dead.

After saying that, he became reminded of something and his expression changed drastically into sadness and realization. He turned around and stared at his lonely and ordinary grave.

"If that's possible, can you grant my wish? Please bury me next to father and mother." Jimmy turned to the Goddesses with a pleading expression.

"Your wish shall be granted." Elysia answered, and that gave the black tiger so much joy and a sense of gratitude.
