‘Ely, my Lil Ely… I’m glad you’re okay. We already knew about this before. Even though our magic reverses are numerous, using magic continuously on a large scale in one go is not good. You always fall when the battle is over.’ Elena expressed her gratitude with a feeling of relief.

‘Mm, but there’s no other way. I fainted because my body couldn’t bear the burden. There is a limit, and it will be fine if we do it gradually with a little pause in between.’ Elysia explained the reason, and she really had no other choice.

She also thought it was a reasonable decision. ‘Anyway, thanks for taking care of me. I feel really grateful that it’s all over. Just a bit of a post-battle problem.’

‘All right then. However, I won’t be leaving the Elysian Realm for a while. That Fate Goddess made me a little wary. She won’t be able to see anything in our realm. I will observe her further.’ Elena conveyed her intentions while observing Fortuna.

‘Fortuna?’ Elysia asked in wonder. If Elena had said that, something must have happened. In fact, they had also only met that Fate Goddess some time ago. The one that Darkness always referred to as the Hypocrite Goddess.

Unfortunately, Fortuna immediately teleported everyone to the meeting hall. It was like a conference hall in the form of a stadium. Hundreds of Heaven’s dwellers from the seven heavens were already there, whether a low-rank deity or a high-rank God.

“With this, everyone has gathered. Then, the emergency heavenly meeting shall be held.” Ileus knocked his hammer against his desk. Everyone’s attention immediately turned to the newcomer group.

It was a group of many, the pinnacle of celestial beauties, but a large man in brown dragon scales armor made some male deities envious. How could it not be? That lucky big boy was the only man in those celestial ladies’ group!

“The first case is the God Game participants who caused havoc in the Earth Realm. The Gods and the deities involved shall be punished for the sins they committed in the mortal realm. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost, and the great destruction of nature was caused by their actions. The total number of defendants is sixty-three. Please take them to the judgment ground.” The God of Judgment read out the first schedule.

“…” Nell looked at her big sister and received a nod. She then flew to the center of the hall field.

“Is she the defendant in question? A Fairy Goddess?”

“No, fool. She is the Fairy Goddess from another world. She may be the one who will bring the defendants.”

“Oh, so that’s what it looks like.”

“Those sinners shall be punished appropriately. They are the beginning of this chaos.”

“Yeah. I heard they were also a major factor in the delay in the arrival of Earth Mother and reinforcements from another world.”

“For real? So, it’s because of them. They deserve to die, then! My fallen knights won’t have peace in the afterlife if those sinners aren’t severely punished!”

“Death punishment may be too light for them.”

“Hey, I think they’ve suffered a lot because they really irritated the Goddesses from another world.”

“That sounds like they deserve it.”

The Gods and deities murmured to each other. Most of them lost something important in the Heavenly Battlefield these past few days and needed an outlet to blame.

“Firmament Realm, open. Release the prisoners.” Nell voiced her actions. She waved her hand, and a golden portal opened wide.

Sixty-two golden birdcage-like prisons popped out of it, and Nell placed them in neat rows on the ground.

*Zap*

The golden prisons disintegrated into particles, freeing all prisoners. Nell then returned to her group. She completely ignored the surprised look of the majority of Gods and deities.

The sixty-two God Game participants weren’t in very good shape. They appeared to be suffering half to death, had almost no magic left, and had no way of recuperating. Their wounds were still looking fresh, even though it might have been a few days. They were still alive, though.

Some even lost some limbs, like a certain reaper mantis with no hand scythes. Some were also cowering in terror.

No one could tell what those God Game participants had experienced. Still, everyone could guess those participants had already experienced an unimaginable punishment in that Fairy Goddess’s private realm.

“Sixty-two, where is the other one? They should be sixty-three.” The God of Judgment raised his eyebrow.

“The last one is the Ancient Demon God of the deepest hell, Arthrozan. He tried to make amends by helping out on the heavenly battlefield. He wasn’t involved much in the chaos on Earth either, but he was the mastermind behind human demonization. Please consider the punishment he deserves, despite the waivers promised.” Gaia raised her hand and pointed her palm towards Arthrozan. He was there, among the Gods of the seventh heaven.

“What!?” Some Gods were shocked because they didn’t realize that the Ancient Demon God was close to them! They immediately distanced themselves because of that.

“Yeah, I wonder what I’ll be charged with. I’m just participating in playing around, but I’m the one being toyed with.” Arthrozan rested his head on his hands and crossed his legs on the empty chair in front of him.

“I see… Then–” The God of Judgment then ordered some medics to give a little help to the defendants. He used the time to judge the sinners and announce the punishment the defendants deserved based on the sins they had committed.

After that, all the defendants were taken to heavenly prison for a while. Arthrozan got leniency, but that didn’t mean he was free from punishment.

The next event was the most crucial meeting, namely the discussion about the Heaven Realm’s fate and future.

“The entire Council’s members have deviated from their noble duties towards the Heaven Realm. The ones supposed to maintain the balance of the world’s law have become the source of all trouble and chaos. The Council has decided to cooperate with Alashor, the Ruvoid God from another world. The absolutely wicked God had already destroyed another world due to the invasion.

However, they had already gone through infinity and possibly headed to the higher realm. We have just fought twenty days of fierce heavenly battle. We won the battle but lost the war. The Council and the Ruvoid God have overturned the heavenly laws, broken the heavenly balance, and made a huge hole in the heavenly sky. Thousands of angels have died, dozens of Gods and deities have gone into the afterlife because of this tragedy, and immeasurable damage to the heavenly realm.” Ileus outlined his speech with an obvious truth.

“Heaven’s core will take time to realign the heavenly laws to their proper state. The Council is no more, but the Divine Association will take over Council’s island and take full responsibility for restoring the balance of heaven. Earth is unaffected because the world’s seal is still active. Sixth heaven and below may not see the impact, but it’s only a matter of time. That hole in the heavenly sky was the beginning of the collapse of the seventh heaven, and the rest will follow.” Ileus conveyed the gist of the impending decision.

“So, this is the end of the heavenly realm?”

“Oh no, I fought hard to ascend to heaven after breaking through my mortal boundary hundreds of years ago. However, will everything end? The paradise is over?”

“Is there no other way to prevent the collapse of the seventh heaven?”

“Maybe there’s a way to fix that hole in the heavens sky…”

“No one knows how to fix it. The oldest one here is Earth Mother, who even says there is no way to fix the heavens.”

“Yeah, that’s why the battle happened. We went out to prevent the Council’s plans because of it.”

The Gods and deities muttered to one another. However, the majority of their conversation sounded gloomy and desperate.

“Can we do a little test of the hole in the heavenly sky? We might be able to do something even if there’s no guarantee of success.” Lifa raised her hand.

She proposed the idea because she felt it would be a pity to see the end of the Heaven Realm. They could definitely do something, especially since Elysia was with them.

“Hmm, permission granted. However, please don’t make the situation worse.” Ileus thought for a moment and gave an agreement. Divinities from another world were outside their world laws. They might be able to do something to that hole in the sky.

“Fortuna and I will be there with them to prevent that from happening.” Gaia suggested an idea to calm everyone down.

“We are grateful for that.” Ileus nodded in understanding.

The meeting was then continued with a discussion about material damage and several issues related to the upcoming schedule. All Heaven’s dwellers would join the Divine Association banner, and everyone would be involved in the Heaven Realm restoration.

After the celestial gathering, Elysia’s group flew away to the huge hole in the sky.

Gaia, Fortuna, and Darkness accompanied them. The first two were there to help, but the last one joined out of curiosity.

Ileus, Zhao Fu, and Arthrozan soon followed as they also wondered what kind of experiment might be done to repair the heavenly sky.

“…” Xero sighed and flew into the hole in the heavenly sky. He was still annoyed that Alashor was toying with everyone, including himself. Ruvoid God had gone to the unknown, and he couldn’t possibly kill that abomination now.
