Chapter 359: Fluffy Tiny Creature
It was like lymph. Celes infused that colorless fluid into the five vials using magic. Shortly after she finished, she returned the vials containing the Dew of Life to the Fairy G.o.ddess. "Here, now our deal is happily fulfilled."
"Very well, thanks for the cooperation." Rhea received the vials and checked if it was the Dew of Life. "Is this your first time producing Dew of Life?"
"How do you know that?" Celes was dumbfounded to hear that, but she immediately brushed it aside because she was in the presence of a G.o.ddess.
"Well, you are right, the G.o.ddess of Nature. However, please don"t tell anyone about it, or the fairies will beg me for the Dew of Life. Although they will definitely come with offerings, it causes me a lot of trouble. After all, I"m still too young." Celes begged to keep the information about Dew of Life confidential.
"Dew of Life will be used to help the Tree of Life. The information you are referring to will not be spread unless it is you who did it yourself. I will not interfere in that matter." Rhea replied with rea.s.surance. Then, she handed over the five vials to Elysia.
Celes saw that the Fairy G.o.ddess had just made five vials disappear somewhere. In retrospect, the five sacks of heaven grade fertilizer just now also came out of nowhere. The deal was over, so this Fairy G.o.ddess was about to leave?
"Umm, are you about to leave already, the G.o.ddess of Nature? Is it possible for me to meet the Tree of Life?" Celes wished to meet the most sacred existence in Fairy Continent.
If what this Fairy G.o.ddess said was the truth, then the Tree of Life was the G.o.ddess of Life, the G.o.ddess of the fairies.
"I apologize, but it"s not possible. The Tree of Life is in a delicate state." Rhea refused without any consideration. Her mother was sleeping, and she honestly didn"t want any third party to enter the Nature Realm.
"I see..." Celes was disappointed, but she completely understood. The Tree of Life was in the recovery phase because of the near-death experience. Nevertheless, she was eager to meet the Savior G.o.ddess. "Then- then can I meet the G.o.ddess of Light? I look forward to talking to her about what happened three days ago."
"The G.o.ddess of Light is here, near you." Rhea told the truth, but she felt something was wrong. "Hmm, didn"t you already know what happened three days ago? You are a special existence to the Fairy Race... Or maybe, none of the fairies has told you? They were on the scene at the time, too, though?"
"I know, right. I am indeed considered important, but the fairies from the Royal Family have forgotten about me in the past three days. n.o.body has visited to tell me the latest news. Not even a single elite army has pa.s.sed around here for me to ask. The only information that came to me was from the guards and citizens." Celes complained but sounded like a tantrum.
"Is that so? Hmm, if so, why don"t you visit the palace over there and find out the truth yourself? You are a sacred plant at the Saint-level level. You can manifest a part of your spirit as an ent.i.ty, right?" Rhea comes up with a solution. She felt that Celes was a bit pitiful.
"It"s not as easy as you say. My instinct says I can manifest a part of my spirit into another ent.i.ty once I reach Empress-level." Celes felt helpless.
"It only happens because you haven"t tried it. Now, show me. Every tree that reached Saint-level or above can already manifest a small part of its spirit into an ent.i.ty outside its original body. Even though you are limited by distance, it"s enough for you to walk around this city"s downtown area, including the palace over there." Rhea gave some fact-based encouragement.
"Can I do it?" Celes had a little bit of self-doubt.
"Try it now or never. If you fail, I will help you. Once successful, you can come with us to the palace over there to meet high-ranking authorities." Rhea tried to convince Celes once again.
"O-okay, I"ll give it a try." Celes had no other choice if it was said like that.
After that, the Celestial Tree tried to manifest a small part of her spirit to become another ent.i.ty. After three failed attempts, she obtained a charming result on the fourth try, although with the G.o.ddess of Nature"s a.s.sistance.
"Wow! Is this me? I"m like a fluffy ball." Celes jumped up and down, then flipped in the air.
Currently, she had become two ent.i.ties, the Celestial Tree and a fluffy tiny creature. Well, her other one was nothing more than a three centimeter fluffy ball.
"This is the special ability of high-level Plant Race called Spirit Ent.i.ty. Please be careful because this ent.i.ty is still a little part of your spirit. You"re not strong enough to go too far either. Please pay attention to that. Also, your magic is very limited in this small ent.i.ty." Rhea gave a gentle yet stern reminder.
"En, I understand. Thank you." Celes flew down and landed on the Fairy G.o.ddess"s hands. She was fully aware of the backlash if her fluffy ball ent.i.ty was destroyed. Caution was number one.
"Good, let"s go to the palace over there." Rhea flew closer to Elysia.
When Rhea got into the blanket of invisible magic, the fluffy ball was immediately dumbfounded. A golden-haired human lady, a big winged white tiger, and a fairy with unique wings... The three of them suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Oh my, what we got here? A fluffy tiny creature. Wow, you look a bit like a stretchy toy." Elena played the fluffy ball on Rhea"s hands with a hint of enthusiasm.
A few moments ago, she and Elysia had a little discussion. Elena wanted to take care of the rest because she wanted to make a small vengeance on the fairy higher-ups.
So Elena took over and used her form. Vanessa also transformed into a big tiger, but only half the size of Vanessa"s best.
"Awo, Awe yyou twhe G.o.ddesws of Wight?" Celes kept trying to speak even though her body was pinched and played like a small toy. Yet, she didn"t feel any pain.
"Yes, that"s me." Elena felt satisfied and no longer played the fluffy little thing.
"Woah, so the human is like this. You are so beautiful and big." Celes praised it because it was her first experience to see a human.
"Big? Which one do you refer to? Her body size or breast?" Nell was interjected before Elena could respond. She also revoked her disguise magic.
"Body size, of course. Humans have a much bigger size than fairies. Umm, about fifteen times bigger. However, humans don"t have wings. Wow, you have feathery white wings like birds. What kind of fairy are you?" Celes flew around the unique fairy to find out more, then circled the G.o.ddess of Light.
Celes felt incredibly confused. Her fluffy little self could see her real body and everyone, but it was not the other way around. Her real body saw nothing but soil, gra.s.s and plants.
"Would you like to start a little game with me, the G.o.ddess of Blessings? Regrettably, now is not the right time. We"ll continue with that later, fufu..." Elena smiled with friendliness.
Unfortunately, it looked different for Nell. The little G.o.ddess immediately snapped her mouth shut.
"Woah... I am in front of three G.o.ddesses at once! Then, is this great white tiger a Beast G.o.d?" Celes seemed to be pointing at the winged white tiger, only a tiny protrusion on her fluffy little self as she did not have fingers.
"She is my faithful companion. Beast G.o.d is a lion, not a tiger. Alright, let"s go to the palace over there." Elena turned around and walked toward the exit from the Celestial Tree area.
"Okay, count me in!" Celes immediately flew following the G.o.ddess of Light and begged. "Nee, can I meet the Tree of Life? I also want to meet the legend for the Plant Race at least once."
"Well, what do you want to see from the Tree of Life"s current state? She becomes a seed that will grow back into a tree. If you want to meet her as the Tree of Life, then it will take some time." Elena responded with a subtle refusal along with her reasons.
"Umm, alright..." Celes felt a little disappointed once again. She finally canceled her intention due to consideration of the Tree of Life"s unfavorable state.
"Wait, Plant Race? So, we have nine different races in this world? Then, why does history only record eight?" Elena stopped her steps, and so did the others.
"Oh, hey, that"s so cruel, whoever wrote that history. Plant Race is filled by the creatures with the longest life force. Our race is the oldest in this world and can outlive the other races, change my mind." Celes protested loudly with dissatisfaction.
"Well, all right. Now there are nine races. For now, please don"t speak out loud, just in case. We"ll come to visit the fairy authorities in invisibility." Elena drew a conclusion and continued her steps again. Rhea, Nell, Vanessa and Celes followed right behind her.
On their way to the Zhadphis Palace, Elena exchanged a few words and ideas with Rhea. She told Rhea about her plan, then Rhea shared information about Celes.
After some discussion involving Elysia and Nell, an excellent plan was finally drawn up based on deliberation to reach a consensus. It was what they would do to appear before the fairy authorities.
