Chapter 793 - The Real Life Goddess (1/2)
Andonara’s face was still red after she left the secret chamber.
All the journals on the shelf were about sex.
Although Andonara was quite open-minded in bed, she could be quite shy outside of it.
In particular, she hadn’t been through the same things in reality as in her dreams, which always felt like illusions.
They sat back at the table, and Andonara said helplessly, “Why did you keep a record of those things instead of what really mattered?”
“Those things are what I use to take care of my needs,” said Stephanie matter-of-factly. “I’m a normal woman. How could I have endured five years without mental food?”
Andonara shrugged, not entirely convinced. Different professionals had different resolutions, but they were generally more determined than ordinary people. Stephanie was an Elite; it shouldn’t be a problem for her to hold back her urges.
Seeing that she wasn’t convinced, Stephanie said, “I’m different from you. You had sex for love. It was just a trick to please Roland and tie him to you. But I love having sex. For me, it’s one of the greatest pleasures of life.”
Andonara was instantly lost for words.
Indeed. Different people tended to have different opinions and definitions on happiness.
“Fine, you are the knowledgeable queen. I can’t defeat you in a debate.” Andonara heaved a sigh and said, “I’m here mainly for your intelligence, including the locations of the Evil Gods who are most likely to be on the main plane.” “You’re going to slay a god?” Stephanie clicked her tongue. “That shouldn’t be a problem. The colors of your eyes and hair have changed. You must’ve received your heritage as you did in your dreams. But how does killing a god help you find Roland?”
“I can sacrifice his Divine Spark and establish a space channel,” said Andonara with a smile. “Then, I can locate him and track him down.”
“As a Warrior, you’re planning a cross-dimension teleportation?” Stephanie was astounded. “You’re truly confident.”
“Not me; I’m just responsible for the materials. Mystra will take care of the rest,” said Andonara with a smile. “Her divine power isn’t very high even though she’s good at spatial magic. It will take a long time for her to regather her divine power to establish the channel if she’s to use it against the Evil God. So, I’ll finish off the god instead of her.”
“Wait!” Stephanie seemed shocked. “The Goddess of Magic is… related to Roland too?”
“She’s also quite manipulative.” Andonara snorted. “But thanks to her, I’ll have a chance to meet the real Roland.”
“We’ll be competing with a goddess. Can we really win?” Stephanie was slightly worried.
Andonara said with a smile, “Although Roland has many lovers, he’s not one to abandon us.”
“That’s true.” Stephanie nodded. “You can stay here for a day or two. I’ll sort out the latest information and give it to you. As far as I know, there’s a strange altar in Urganda. You can take a look there.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re too kind. We’re too close to each other for such formalities.” Stephanie seemed quite happy. “By helping you, I’m helping myself too.”
Two days later, after Andonara picked up the files, she left the capital of Fareins for Urganda.
On the other hand, Roland’s floating city traveled in the dark channel of space and time. Around the channel were indescribable shadows that were spinning and swirling.
One would feel that their sanity was dropping just by looking at them. Even if one were to close one’s eyes, those things would still appear in one’s mind. Roland didn’t understand what they were. He could only unfold a soul defense layer with his mental power to protect himself.
There was no telling how much time passed. Maybe it was one second, or maybe a dozen years. He simply locked his soul inside the defensive layer in case he was infiltrated by the weird stuff.
So, he didn’t realize the passage of time at all.
Finally, the floating city shivered, and there was light at the end of the tunnel.
The weird images around the channel were gone, and Roland’s soul woke up in the defensive layer.
Seeing that the floating city was approaching the light, Roland was relieved.
Somewhere inside the Astral Plane, a terrifying space quake knocked away the worms nearby and cleared an area that was as big as a small paradise.
Looking at the Astral Plane that was both strange and familiar, Roland took a deep breath.
While he was feeling happy, a stream of green energy hit the barrier of the floating city when he was least prepared.
The stream of energy was so enormous that the entire floating city was almost enshrouded.
The tremendous divine power of life was wearing out the magic power of the floating city.
With a thought, Roland quickly mobilized the magic power of the floating city and built three umbrella-shaped layers that blocked the invasion.
Even so, the floating city was still quickly pushed back.
“Such divine power… Doesn’t it belong to the Life Goddess?”
Roland identified the nature of the power.
After all, he had been intimate with Elyse and was quite familiar with her sacred body.
The green pillar of light shined for almost one minute, and then vanished.
At this moment, an enormous space portal opened, and Elyse the Life Goddess, who was at least twenty meters tall, walked out.
She had the familiar face and body, except that she was much bigger.
“Elyse, how did you…”
Then, Roland realized that she was not the Elyse he knew, but the Elyse from this world who had no feelings for him.
“You are a thief and a bandit. How dare you come to us? Do you really think I can’t detect the disgusting energy of chaos in you?”
The real Elyse held a shield in her left hand and a green sword in her right hand. The sword was at least eight meters long and stretched out to several kilometers when she waved it.
The sword was attached to the enormous power of law that the floating city failed to stop. The holy sword cut the floating city precisely.
However, the floating city was too big. Its stone layer alone was more than ten kilometers thick.
The holy sword that was several kilometers long was stuck in the shell of the floating city.
Roland breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn’t flashed away, he would’ve been cut into pieces.
As expected of the strongest Lawful Goddess… The Elyse in the game world was truly not as strong as she was in reality. Was it the difference between a counterfeit and the original?
However, Roland had purposefully thickened the floating city. The stone layer that was more than ten kilometers thick was meant to protect the Magic Grid Core.
As long as the core of the floating city remained safe, it wouldn’t matter how damaged the floating city was.
“We don’t have to fight, Elyse.” Roland extended his hand and made a stopping gesture. “I’m just here to pick up several people.” However, the Life Goddess turned a deaf ear to him and looked at him angrily. “Thief and bandit… You’re not qualified to talk.”
Along with her declaration that was full of her hate, a lot of divine power of light transferred into the gigantic holy sword.
The holy sword got greener and brighter.
The divine power of life was separated from the holy sword and quickly corroded the floating city.
Green cracks spread on the floating city. Their number and length grew quickly. They were also leaking to the depths of the floating city.
Seeing that, Roland tried to summon the floating city’s magic power to resist. However, the divine power was of a higher level than the magic power. It was impossible for the magic power to resist the divine power unless it was much bigger in amount.
His resistance was only meant to slow down the corrosion of the green divine power.
Very soon, green cracks were all over the floating city.
Roland could tell that he was losing control of the floating city.
Was her original self so strong in reality?
Ever since he built a floating city, Roland had never felt overwhelmed until now.
