Chapter 668: Council's Sacred City

As the sky turned golden again, Elysia opened her eyes with a refreshed feeling. It was already the third day of the promised five-day deadline, and in two days, they would return to Vrelenia whether they could find the Ruvoid God or not.

Elysia's morning thought was still a bit light-headed because she was pretty weak in the morning. However, it didn't take long for her to realize her current situation.

The little Rhea used her left arm as a pillow and hugged her tightly. While Elena hugged her right arm. She immediately blushed fiercely when she realized that she was flanked by her little Goddess and Guardian Angel.

"I can't feel my left hand. Uh, I'm tingling..." Elysia tried to move her left hand, but she felt like she was being stabbed by a needle.

"Uhm? Good morning~" Rhea rubbed her eyes gently. She greeted the morning with a radiant smile.

"Mm, good morning." Elysia applied a bit of healing magic to get rid of the tingling feeling in her left arm.

After that, she woke up Elena and the others. Their time was limited, and their eight-hour meditation break was sufficient for the day.

"Hmm, where's Tic?" Elena came out of the tent and looked around.

"He's by the creek over there." Elysia pointed in a direction. She could see a pitch-black crow with her sacred vision.

"Well then, let's tidy this up, and we ascend to seventh heaven." Elena heaved a subtle sigh. She also had the same worries as Elysia as they only had two days at max before returning to Vrelenia.

Elysia asked Sylvia and Rhea to help fold the tent before putting it in the Space Bag. After that, they went to approach Xero, who was meditating.

"The time has come?" Xero muttered without opening his eyes.

"Mm, it's time for us to go to the Council. But, after breakfast." Elysia nodded in confirmation.

"Good." Xero nodded and immediately put all his formation materials into his Space Bag.

After finishing their breakfast, they looked up at the golden sky above. They would go to the seventh heaven with the Council's territory as their destination.

"Shall we go now?" Dave asked while flying above. He waited for these foreign divine entities to follow him.

"We're leaving now." Elysia took out her Gravy Ark, and everyone boarded it to fly right through the golden cloudy sky.

A realm barrier prevented anyone from crossing the boundary, but Dave did something, and the energy fluctuations disappeared instantly. Elysia's group was able to cross the realm barrier smoothly without any hindrance.

*Swoosh*

The Gravy Ark poked out from the sea of golden clouds. A breathtaking heavenly scene appeared before everyone.

Several islands were floating above the sea of clouds, defying gravity. The bird's chirps enliven the day, cheerful fish jumping in the sea of clouds, and the extraordinary atmosphere that truly calmed the heart and soul. The universe sky full of stars and other celestial objects could be seen decorating the heavenly sky.

"Wow, that's the sun? We can see it directly, but we're fine. Are we in outer space?" Sylvia pointed at a giant fireball in the distance.

"Hm, is it night or day here? It's hard to tell." Elysia looked up at the night sky beyond the golden clouds, then at the sun.

"Welcome to the seventh heaven. The Council's territory is quite far in that direction, while the Heavenly Empire is over there. The Divine Association itself is in the Heavenly Empire." Dave pointed at the possible destinations they were going to. He knew this group would go to the Council first, but he still hoped that they would visit the Divine Association first.

"Nee, Dave, did the Divine Association ever go to the Council to find out about their sudden change and why they held the God Game?" Elysia suddenly asked.

"We once sent a group for that, but their response was uncooperative. They let our envoy group wait for no apparent reason and told the group to leave after two days without any clarity. After that, they didn't want to respond to our peaceful approach. Even after the God-King sent a private message to Council." Dave shook his head and sighed.

"Hm, the Divine Association is on the aggressive side then?" Elena folded her arms and concluded the continuation.

"Yeah, we're trying to stop that God Game while looking for the cause of the Council's sudden change. We still haven't been able to contact the higher-ups there, but we're still trying." Dave replied.

"Why not come visit openly and ask for an explanation with a frontal approach? I doubt they would give the cold shoulder if God-King himself came to the Council's territory for that." Elena asked in wonder.

"That would be a declaration of war." Dave shook his head again.

"This is a bit tricky, but let's go to the Council's territory first." Elena decided, and Elysia agreed with it. They can't see the point of the problem if they just talk.

Therefore, Elysia controlled her Gravy Ark in the direction Dave pointed. It was only a two-hour journey at full speed plus acceleration magic. They finally landed on a golden land without triggering the floating island's security alarm.

'Rhea, can you sense the Ruvoid God's curse energy from here? The towering white city over there is the Council's territory.' Elysia gazed at the white city in the distance, but she couldn't detect anything even with her sacred vision. It was as if a wall of energy blocked her from seeing any further.

'I can't sense any aura from that city, Master Elysia. Maybe, we will know something if we go there, or visit the palace that sells high. Shall we enter by peaceful means or by force?' Rhea looked up to see Elysia's face.

'Hm, we'll try to get in with tricks and gimmicks. After that, we'll use a decoy to find out more.' Elysia put her hands on Rhea's shoulders.

'Mm.' Rhea just nodded in understanding.

"Elysia, is that city a Council's territory? The Ruvoid God might be there if we consider the oddities there. What are you waiting for? We're going there!" Xero pointed his wing towards the white city.

"Tic, Heretic God, we will sneak in with tricks and possible disguises. Are you going with us, or do you have plans?" Elena heaved a subtle sigh. She was worried that this stupid God would mess up their plans and worsen the situation.

"Ugh, it's quite risky for me to go alone if the opponent is an entire nation of Gods. If I'm already in my prime of power, that's fine. However, I will go with your plans now. My target is that Ruvoid God. He is mine to slaughter." Xero looked at the white city and made up his mind.

"Good. Then you will follow our plan." Elena nodded.

They then boarded the Gravy Ark again and flew at a low altitude, almost near the ground. However, all access to the white city was completely sealed off. Still, Elysia didn't run out of ideas for breaking in.

"What are you trying to do? This wall is known as the impenetrable sacred satin wall. The only access to the city can only be passed through the three main entrances. You-" Dave was about to explain something, but he swallowed back his words when Elysia quickly made a hole in the wall. It was like cutting tofu with a finger, creating a small passage.

"The entrance has been made. Let's go in." Elysia crawled into the hole. Elena, Rhea, Vanessa, and Sylvia immediately followed shortly after.

"Well, it's much more practical and hassle-free." Xero spread its wings and entered there.

"..." Dave looked left and right to check the situation. The hole was surprisingly created without triggering the city's security system.

Although feeling a bit strange, he immediately flew into the hole.

Elysia re-patched the hole with the part she cut off. After that, they explored the city by moving behind the shadows of the buildings.

'We'll talk via telepathy. In this way, there is no language barrier between us and others.' Elysia opened a telepathic conversation connected to everyone in her group, including Dave.

'Hey, how did you manage to do this telepathic group chat? Can your mind scope support that many people?' Dave stared in shock.

'No need to worry.' Elysia gave an Ok hand gesture.

'Hey, the city is big, but why is it so quiet? I thought there would be some angels or gods hanging around here.' Xero peeked from the top of a rather tall building and squinted his eyes.

Hearing that, everyone immediately checked what was waiting for them in the distance. Sure enough, the entire corner of the city was completely empty, as if it was a dead city. Each tall building only contained a few giant circuits that led to the underground.

'What's going on here?' Elysia asked in wonder.

'This is strange beyond doubts. This Sacred City should be inhabited by hundreds of angels and a dozen gods under the auspices of the Council. But everyone disappeared somewhere. Let's try checking into the sacred palace. Please watch all your moves. This is a Sacred City for an obvious reason.' Dave reminded everyone with a solemn tone.

'Understood.' Elysia nodded in understanding and picked up the white cat at her feet. She just had to give extra care to her white cat since Rhea has become a teenage girl now.

They then sneaked into the Council's sacred palace to uncover the truth behind the irregularities in heaven realms.
