CHAPTER 356: DIVINE SEAL

"Morynna, the seal of Azraelith is becoming increasingly damaged, with noticeable cracks, you know?" I say to Morynna, as she is the goddess of dragons and someone who helped create the seal, she can tell me the average time until this seal breaks.

"Elysia, I don’t know what you’re telling me, it’s not like I have much freedom here," she says with a bad expression, since she is now enslaved because she lost the fight and is now under the effect of my sword.

"I want you to evaluate the seal, I want to know when it will break, that abomination must not be freed and have time to recover." The seal of Azraelith is becoming increasingly damaged, that abomination is truly annoying.

She could have just died inside that seal, but she continues to resist and damage the seal from within, the seal that seemed flawproof is no longer holding her.

I may have underestimated her too much, but breaking a seal of that magnitude in less than 6,000 years, considering the negative effects of the seal on the mind and body, seemed impossible.

"Okay..." Morynna says without much interest, she really hates the time she has to spend here serving me, anyway it will take a long time before I stop enslaving her.

I will only stop if I defeat someone stronger than Morynna and have the chance to use my sword, then I will release Morynna and get this stronger being.

"Why all this anger, Morynna? Have a little patience," I say with a smile to her, which only irritates her more, a vein appearing on her forehead as her tail moves.

"Elysia, aren’t your plans unraveling too quickly? First this seal that is now breaking, and there was that senseless trial you forced everyone to participate in and you still lost to that newcomer," she says, testing my patience.

’Tsk...’ I didn’t know it wouldn’t work, since Pandora brought in an external goddess who shouldn’t be here, I thought I could have her erased, but I was hasty in my conclusions.

"Don’t even mention it, that Echidna’s daughter is another annoying abomination, it’s like seeing a second Azraelith emerging, and the worst part is that I’ve recently noticed that she’s appearing in my church." Pandora is suddenly appearing in my church.

I can’t see exactly or know what’s happening, but thanks to Lucius, who is the Pope of My church, I have a certain degree of knowledge about the church’s situation.

And although Lucius hasn’t noticed, the demon king is there! And that’s annoying, first this miserable one becomes a goddess staining this sacred position and now even has the audacity to enter the sacred ground of my church.

"If I could, I would have her expelled, but I can’t send a specific oracle, and if I send an oracle, she might try to interfere and manipulate those in the church." For now, I can only leave it like this.

"Haa...Elysia, what are you waiting for? For your heroes to kill her? Honestly, I don’t know if the heroes you summoned will be able to kill her, after all, heroes have never come close to killing Azraelith, so I don’t think the current ones will do much against a being similar to Azraelith," she says while I don’t respond to this issue.

"Maybe, anyway, Pandora doesn’t have as much power as Azraelith currently has, maybe Pandora will be killed after all, heroes have very good abilities specifically to kill the demon king, and currently Pandora must be at the level of 100k or something like that."

"Moreover, this doesn’t matter, Pandora has entered the divine realm, and as soon as she reaches a certain level of power, she will lose the protection of several rules and I myself will be able to kill her if she leaves that planet." Rules prevent me from killing her directly for now.

But if she reaches a power probably in the range of the first billion, I will be able to kill her if I find her outside that planet, for now, rules are protecting her from direct death by me.

However, her luck will soon run out, and Echidna will also be killed one day, we don’t need these abominations in existence, in my view, it was a mistake for something like Echidna to be born.

Now she only causes even more problems by having children who further stain the world and existence.

So if the heroes fail to kill Pandora, one day I will take care of killing her myself before she becomes as strong as that abomination that is Azraelith.

"Now let’s put this matter aside, go evaluate the seal, I need to know when it will break so I don’t lose the location of Azraelith." As soon as Azraelith leaves the seal, I am willing to even break some rules just to go kill her.

She is too dangerous to be left alive, I would say she is even more dangerous than her mother Echidna, and all because that devout bitch is crazily obsessed with Echidna’s approval and doesn’t care about putting herself at all kinds of risk just for a simple compliment.

I’m even trying to force the seal so that the exit is here in my dwelling, so I won’t even have to go after her, and this seems to be working, the only variable that would disturb this would be if someone else broke the seal from the outside.

And if she were in a "neutral" area that I can’t just go freely, like the planet with the races or the meeting place of the goddesses, since fights are not allowed there.

But I doubt she will appear in a neutral area, since that would only happen if someone broke the seal on the moon, and as soon as she comes out, I will do everything to find and eliminate her before she recovers.

"...Morynna, you can go check the seal, write an exact report on everything and then come serve me," I tell her, who grumbles irritably and starts to leave, while I see the faith of my believers.

"...Oh...the angel project has advanced, that’s great." I gather information through faith and devotion, what I can see is very limited, but it’s enough for me to discover things.

’It seems the church has finally succeeded’ Angels are very convenient, even though they are a kind of biologically speaking monster, they are neutral and formed of sacred power.

That’s why I, as a benevolent goddess, consider them beings who have overcome their impure impulses and become worthy to serve me, and moreover, because they are neutral, several goddesses can use them to their advantage.

They are beings that naturally obey after being commanded by someone strong, so they serve as good employees, I myself have thousands to millions of them taking care of my [Heaven].

They are not that strong, actually being quite weak for the divine standard even when reaching maximum level, all my angels would not even defeat an abyss monster.

’If humans have finally managed to create an angel, now they will have a natural advantage against demons who have a greater affinity with darker elements...’ The real problem is always the damned Demon Kings.

I don’t know how Echidna managed to give so much power to a living being and the system allowed such a thing, since things involving that planet always have very specific rules.

"Well, I guess it’s not worth thinking too much about it, anyway in a few millennia everything will be replaced anyway...until then I should have already eliminated those two annoying anomalies once and for all and only Echidna will be left" The biggest problem is killing Echidna.

Forget Azraelith and Pandora, both can still be killed in a certain way, but Echidna cannot be easily killed no matter what is done.

She is not the goddess of the abyss for nothing, as she has merged with that place, I would need a way to completely erase the abyss to really be able to kill her.

The Heaven element would be one of the most suitable for this, but it is too large an area for me to erase alone, and I would be vulnerable, so for now all I can do is maintain a middle ground.

I don’t enter or attack the abyss, and the abyss doesn’t enter or attack [Heaven], maintaining a thin wall that separates the two places, but I don’t accept this.

I don’t want these things near me, I want to get rid of them as soon as possible, they only have the luck that I don’t have the strength to erase the abyss, those abominations down there are worse than a demon king.

The abyss is the true most hellish place in existence, every being there has power equivalent to or superior to a level 80,000 demon king, and these are the weakest, some of the monsters in the abyss can reach billions in level.

Having the power to injure and even kill goddesses who fall there, that place is the closest thing to a true hell, a hostile and dangerous place for anyone, only the goddess of the abyss lives there as if it were normal.

Abyssal beings are a dangerous plague that should not exist, these things should never have arisen and spread in the darkness below, but now it’s impossible to avoid it in any way.

"Urk, enough of thinking about that trash place, I need to relax a bit, stress isn’t good for my skin." I want to forget the stress of so many things for now, all I can do is wait.

Wait for a good opportunity, wait for something to happen that favors me, and wait for good news to come to me regardless of the means.
