At this moment, in mid-air, Airi and Anima had completely enveloped Lilith within the sphere of light, restoring calm.
If it weren’t for the transparent barrier still above Cosmos, and the fact that everything on the ground had been flattened, leaving only wasteland and ruins, one might have thought that all the disasters that had occurred were just a figment of their imagination.
“Weren’t you missing? How are you here?”
Shien turned his gaze to Leisha, his face still filled with confusion.
Leisha smiled wryly.
“It’s a long story. I’ll tell you when we have the chance.” Leisha brushed aside the topic and said to Shien, “I never thought you would appear here, and even get involved with Lilith.”
Leisha truly hadn’t expected this.
Therefore, when she first arrived and saw Shien, she was startled.
But now wasn’t the time to worry about such things.
“Are you alright, Mr. Shien?”
Lasha asked Shien.
Beside her was not only Leisha, but also another girl.
“I… I thought I was going to die…”
Elise, at some point, had joined Lasha and the others, her face still pale with lingering fear.
Clearly, Elise had almost died during the disaster caused by Lilith and seemed to have been saved by Lasha and her group, which was why she was here with them.
“I’m fine.”
Shien shook his head, replying to Lasha, then turned his gaze to the sky.
Airi and Anima had landed.
“Not bad.” Airi started with a compliment. “Being able to do this much against that lunatic, you’re more capable than I thought.”
It seemed the Dragon Demon was quite satisfied with Shien’s performance.
On the other hand, the person Shien didn’t recognize, whose eyes were tightly closed yet seemed to be staring intently at him, made Shien clearly feel her “gaze” on him.
“You are…?”
Shien frowned and asked.
Although he didn’t know who she was, Shien could sense an astonishing magic power and an incredibly vast life force, making him wary of her.
Naturally, the other party wouldn’t underestimate Shien either.
After all, Anima had also witnessed Shien’s performance, not just Airi and the others.
Therefore, Anima bowed respectfully to Shien.
“I am Anima. Please address me by my name.”
Her attitude was as if she was facing a very distinguished guest.
Shien didn’t mind.
However, her name instantly revealed her identity to Shien.
“You said Anima?” Shien asked in surprise. “You’re the Goddess of Life?”
“Wh-what?” Elise trembled beside him, looking at Anima with shock and excitement.
Undoubtedly, this was the first time Elise had seen the Goddess of Life, the object of her faith.
Although she was the Goddess of Life’s representative in the human world, since she hadn’t received a blessing and hadn’t been to the Divine Realm, Elise had never seen the Goddess of Life in person.
Or rather, many people never had the chance to see the god they worshipped.
Gods usually only appeared in the human world when they needed to bestow blessings. Otherwise, they would stay in the Divine Realm, rarely appearing in other realms.
Therefore, apart from going to the Divine Realm, one could only see a god when receiving a blessing.
As the beastmen saintess, Elise had coincidentally met a few goddesses due to her status, but seeing one of the Three Goddesses at the pinnacle of the Divine Race face-to-face like this was a rare opportunity, not only for her, but even for the Pope of the temple and the king of a nation.
That was why Lucy, who was allowed to visit the Divine Realm at any time and was even invited by the Divine Race to live there, was so special.
Meeting the goddess she worshipped and prayed to for the first time in her life, Elise was naturally shocked and excited.
“Thank you for your hard work, Saintess Elise.”
Anima didn’t neglect Elise and patted her head affectionately.
“Ah…”
The color returned to Elise’s pale face as she obediently let Anima stroke her head, moved to the point of tears.
The goddess she had worshipped and devoted everything to was right before her, even personally comforting her. This alone made Elise feel that her life was complete.
Anima treated Elise like her own child, then smiled at Shien and said,
“Perhaps this is the first time you’ve met me today, but I’ve been watching you for several days, so please don’t be so polite.”
There were many things in Anima’s words that Shien wanted to ask about.
But compared to those things, what Shien wanted to know most urgently was the current situation.
