GOD OF ALL SYSTEMS-Chapter 99 [Bonus ] An Adventure While Adventuring!
?A few minutes ago, not far from where Athena's group was bathing, five women, wearing magnificent white clothing with intricate flower designs and resembling someone in their early twenties, could be seen running within the forest at fast speeds, sprinting towards the mountainous location where Athena's group was as if they were being chased. The women were beautiful compared to average women, but the group of five women didn't have the slightest ambiance of elegance despite their beauty. Their hairs were in disorder, parts of their dresses torn to shreds, and some even had large wounds on their bodies. The five women had exhausted yet serious faces as they dashed through the trees and grasses, indicating they had been running for a long period. A gorgeous woman with pink hair; led the escaping party among the five ladies.
Coming close to the mountainous location where Athena's group was, the pink-haired lady raised her hand as she signaled for the party to stop; the other four women immediately halted their paces as they stood at the foot of a mountain. Seeing this, a girl with blue hair hurriedly uttered doubtfully.
"Elder sister Yu, why are we stopping? If we waste any more time, they will catch up to us soon."
"...., It's not that we are stopping, this is the 'Mountain Devil Beasts Territory,' there are millions of beasts of different species here, some of which are even at the Star Sovereign realm. If we enter their territory, then we must expect to be killed, but we can use the 'soul concealing talismans' and help us escape their detections for as long as possible."
The other girls nodded in unison as they then each brought out green-looking talismans from their clothes; the girls then inserted Qi into the talismans as the talismans glowed, shredding into tiny pieces after and attaching themselves to the women's bodies; the next moment, the women began slowly fading into the surroundings, camouflaging their presences from being detected.
Not long after the five women faded into the surrounding forests and trees, over twenty men wearing luxurious azure sect uniforms appeared in the space where the girls had stopped earlier. The leading person was a man with short black hair and beard; this person had a bow with an arrow set on the string. The leading man slowly descended, with him and the other nineteen men simultaneously scanning the surroundings after.
"Elder martial brother, I can smell their scents; they were here not long ago."
"Yes, it seems they must have concealed their presences and entered the 'Mountain Devil Beasts Territory,' but this is to our advantage. Give me the 'Thundering Sound Artifact,' I will use it to disturb and wake the sleeping beasts; those girls will have no choice but to come out running."
The black-haired man commanded, then one of the men with green hair and average looking passed over a long black horn with purple lines. The black-haired man, known as the big martial brother, held the horn as he then bellowed, with the artifact intensifying his voice even louder.
"You can't hide forever, I will awake the millions of mountain devil beasts, and you will be forced to come out! So come out now, and I might kill you guys painlessly than what the beasts will do to you!"
The man bellowed as his voice loudly reverberated in the surroundings. But as if noticing something, he frowned with a doubtful expression.
'Why hasn't any beasts roared out in outrage yet? The thundering sound artifact can intensify a person's voice to that of ten thousand people screaming together. With that loud noise, there should be millions of mountain devil beasts roaring in outrage from being disturbed from their slumber right now, but I can't even hear a single squeak. What is going on?! Let's send someone to see first.'
"Hey! you, go see what's happening in the mountain range."
"What?! Me?! But..., but big martial brother, this is the mountain devil beasts, I will be shredded to pieces the instant they smell my presence-."
"Are you disobeying orders!? I said go see what's happening inside the mountain range."
A bald man among the group of twenty grumbled with a frightening expression as he understood what was happening. He knew that he was being used as cannon fodder. But just when the bald man was about to take a step, his body instantly dried up, leaving nothing but his shriveled and parched body as if the life got sucked out from him.
Seeing the unexpected and disbelieving scene, the remaining group of nineteen men expressed doubtful and frightening countenances as they watched the dried-up skeleton body of their bald comrade slowly begin disintegrating into black specks of dust. The group of nineteen men widely stared at the fading remains of their comrade as it even intensified their shocking expressions. Then,
"Arggg! Arggg! Arggg!~"
A Series of agonizing cries resounded in the surroundings as the remaining nineteen men experienced the most excruciating situation in their lives; they felt their bodies getting twisted like twisting a cloth to drain water from it. With their bodies getting twisted, the heads of the men detonated as their explode heads splurted in the surroundings, with rivers of blood profusely gushing from their bodies after.
Then, Athena, Anna, and Thalia emerged from the space-void as they hovered over the pool of dispersing blood. The three goddesses were now donned in majestic feminine cultivation dresses that portrayed each of them as godly existences. Athena wore a white dress mixed with blue designs, Anna wore a yellow dress mixed with white flowers, and Thalia wore a black dress with white and gold lines; all three ladies wore laced sandals of which the strings wrapped around their legs, stopping at their knees.
Thalia looked at the dispersing pool of blood as her system sounded. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣o𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢
[Goddesses, do you wish to bring them back?]
'No need, just sever their reincarnation fates.'
[Affirmative]
[Passive Skill: Reincarnation Fate Severing; If willed, Goddess can sever the souls of any organism from reincarnating and will be devoured into the abyss of nothingness]
"You can come out now."
Athena charmingly spoke towards the trees, speaking to the women camouflaging. The next moment, the group of five girls unconcealed themselves as they exposed their exhausted, frightened, and miserable states of beings to the three Goddesses. The girls had terrified expressions while staring at the hovering three goddesses as if they saw a ghost.
Seeing the girls' terrified faces, Anna sighed, speaking to her little fairy system after.
"Sigh~ With such expressions, they fear us even more than those pests--Lily?."
[Right away~]
[Passive Skill: Selective Memory Erasure; Can erase selected memories from any existing and non-existing entity]
The next instant, the five girls instantly lost their frightening countenances as then, the pink-haired girl stepped forward knelt on both knees as she prostrated before the three Goddesses, the other four girls imitating her after.
"This little junior pays respect to all three fairy ladies and would like to genuinely requests that fairy ladies please accept our sincere gratitude."
'How respectful and sincere-- ladies? What do you say we have some fun? Athena?'
'I don't have much to say, Anna? You decide, after all, our trip was to save Marin.'
'..., Indeed, the plan was to save master, but I will pause the occurring timeline in their Domain. I don't mind us having a little bit of fun-- Lily, halt the time-flow of the Realm master is in.'
[Easy peasy!~]
[Passive Skill: Time-Space Halt: Can pause the time-space flow of any World, Domain, or Realm as long as Goddess Anna wishes]
The three goddesses interacted in an instant. Thalia then replied to the girls' gestures.
"No need for ceremonies; you all may rise."
The five women rose on their feet as they respectfully stood with cupped hands on their waists and slightly bent heads. Upon seeing the severe injuries on the girls, Athena's system sounded.
[Passive Nature: Will of Goddess Athena King; Your will/Intent is the command to all totalities, everything will heed your wishes]
Simultaneously to Athena's system sounding, the multiple injuries on the women's bodies vanished in an unthinkable instant; the five women didn't even notice they were now completely healed. Standing at the front of her sisters, the pink-haired woman peeked at Athena's group.
'Just who are these heavenly fairies? Are they perhaps from the core areas of the continent? It can only be that-- huh!? Our injuries..., did they heal us? But they didn't use any pills or techniques just now, how-- Wait! Could it be that these three heavenly fairies are Saints? That would explain the people from the Azure Dragon Sect mysteriously disappearing without any trace. I-'
"What's your name?"
Thalia asked, interrupting the girl's thoughts. Although they could see the women's information on their system interfaces and could know everything by simply asking their systems, they still chose to be moderate and asked the girls for their names.
After a brief introduction, the five women introduced themselves as the core disciples from the Sacred Blossom Sect, and their sect is ordinary in the middle regions. They are an all-women sect, and for that reason, many male-dominated sects had set eyes on the purity of their sect members.
"I don't mean to interrupt, but let's continue this conversation somewhere else. Why don't we return to your sect first."
Athena interrupted the pink-haired woman. But despite being interrupted, the pink-haired woman didn't express the slightest bit of dissatisfaction; instead, she smiled as she bowed after. But hearing the silver-haired Athena speaking of returning, the woman hurriedly spoke.
"Heavenly fairy, our Sacred Blossom Sect is far from our current location; it will take--"
"We are already here."
