Chapter 162: Goddess of Blessings Arrival

The Holy Cathedral's main hall was currently starting to fill with many people who had come just for Blessing Day. From the young to the old, a little sick to the healthy, and people who came for specific purposes.

A hall that could accommodate no less than 2,800 people now looked so full, but they weren't cramped at all or anything. All of them came and sat in an orderly manner.

Dozens of Holy Knights and Priests were around to arrange the event to keep going smoothly. When all the places were full, and no more people could be added, the gate to the cathedral hall was closed to avoid the wayward people.

Even so, people who couldn't attend the proceedings in the hall. They did not mind and took their positions around the cathedral, preparing to hear the holy words of the Cardinal in representation.

They had a wish for blessings from the Goddess of Blessings. In fact, most of the people who came were looking forward to the two events held at the end of Blessing Day.

Meanwhile, inside the Holy Cathedral's sacred hall, Elysia was standing near the wall right between Ella and Evelyn. They were on guard to keep the event going smoothly along with the other Priests and Holy Knights while listening to Cardinal Archibald's opening prayer.

A person with tall stature and a radiant face conveyed his prayers in beautiful and calm sentences while the congregation listened attentively.

Elysia glanced left and right, only her eyes were excited, and her body remained standing politely. She didn't know anyone other than the two girls beside her... There she had to wait for the event to end while standing up too...

Elysia glanced at Vanessa. The white cat came and lay down near a bench, and she seemed to listen to a prayer that she did not understand.

Unfortunately, it was only for a moment, drowsiness came after the cat, and Vanessa succumbed to the urge to fall asleep. A white cat was fast asleep, and no one thought it was wrong, even though they knew the cat was there.

Shortly afterward, Elysia listened to the Cardinal again, a prayer like rhyme, poetry, and rhythmic sentences containing deep meaning.

'Hehe... I'm glad I didn't switch roles with you as Priest~' Elena was chirping cheerfully, floating here and there within the Soul Realm.

'Uhh... And here I just stood and listened to the sentences from the prayer to the sermon. Why does everyone look like they can inspire this, but I don't?' Elysia replied in her mind. She also followed the others whose hands were folded in prayer.

'Hehe... Here, a little different from the church on Earth, of course, we are aliens. Look at the large glass ornament over there, it's a picture of the Goddess of Blessings, but in a super-duper vague version, we can't tell who it is.' Elena pointed at the stage, more precisely at the large glass behind Cardinal.

This was not the first time Elysia saw the Goddess's picture in a book about the Holy Church or Holy Cathedral that she had read. In the Holy Library, she had seen it several times. However, this was the first time she was looking directly at it and observing it with focus.

It was clear and graceful, lofty and elegant, majestic, and somewhat shining. In the big glass, the Goddess was a woman with long beautiful hair and a pair of beautiful white wings adorning her back.

The Goddess of Blessing on the great wall's glass ornament seemed to describe, the Goddess gave her blessings to all the people below her.

However, strangely, the Goddess did not have a face. It was just an explicit form that was made slightly radiant out of nowhere. Nobody knew the Goddess's real name apart from her title. Only very few people had ever met her, but her blessings were always with them.

A very absurd strange happened a moment after, time seemed to stop, and the surroundings began to lose color. Only Elysia and the image of the Goddess still had color.

Before she could panic and ask Elena for some reassurance and help, Elysia's consciousness was suddenly drawn to a place that was beautiful and magnificent. But, she immediately returned to the real world as if nothing strange had happened before.

The Cardinal, who was still speaking and the surroundings already regained their original color.

'What is going on?' Elysia muttered confusedly, this was beyond her comprehension, and she was sure it was not a delusion.

'What happened, Ely?' Elena asked softly. She looked around to make sure, but nothing suspicious for her.

Hearing those soft words, Elysia immediately told Elena about a strange thing a moment ago.

'Hmm, this is weird... If it was just for an instant, I wouldn't be able to notice it.' Elena fell into deep contemplation.

Elysia couldn't come up with anything that made sense either, but there must be something.

Simultaneously, as Elysia and Elena became confused, the large glass seemed to be glowing gold. Yet, no one noticed other than the two of them.

'Sister Elena, look at the glass of the Goddess of Blessing! It shines in yellow light!' Elysia exclaimed at once, wishing Elena would get out of her deep thought.

'Ah, yes, I can see that too... Looks like someone will be visiting us, Ely.' Elena immediately answered the emergency call. She nodded and made an assumption based on her hunch.

As they expected, a woman resembled the Goddess on the glass of the hall emerged from there. A woman with an angelic face complete with a pair of wings on her back.

Her arrival was accompanied by a surge of light gold aura, but no one realized she was there. Everyone just continued with the event, as usual.

Elysia and Elena were silent for a moment. They were sure that the winged woman who had just arrived was the Goddess of Blessings. However, the two of them became somewhat hesitant after thinking twice.

The Goddess of Blessings that had just emerged from the glass was no bigger than twice the size of an adult's palm! She was a Goddess or a Pixie!? Or maybe, the Goddess of Blessingswas the Pixie Goddess? However, wasn't she the Goddess of the Human Race? Elysia and Elena were stunned. They didn't know what to say other than running their minds.

"Found you." The little Goddess glanced at Elysia and smiled. She flapped her wings to get closer to the young girl who attracted her to come here.

A pair of beautiful purplish-blue eyes met with bluish eyes that were no less beautiful, only the latter was petite. They just stared and blinked silently. No one wanted to open a conversation just yet.

"This is the first time my true form has reappeared in the world after hundreds of thousands of years since my eternal sleep that was less eternal... Somehow, I immediately woke up and got a strong pull to come here. You are the cause of my arrival, O young girl. Is there nothing you would like to say to this Goddess presence?" The little Goddess spoke in a lofty tone, not worried the unrelated would listen to her voice.

'Pfft... The puny Goddess, fufu... Her status is no greater than a Spirit Beast! Even Vanessa's status is still better than her.' Elena giggled with amusement when Elysia saw the status of the little Goddess.

'Shhh... Please don't sneer like that. What if she could hear you, Sister Elena? After all, she is still a Goddess...' Elysia frantically reminded the girl who was so straightforward.

Elena covered her own mouth in laughter. As a result, she wanted to be quiet, but her urge to laugh was great.

'Please forgive this young girl's audacity, Goddess of Blessings. However, I did nothing to cause that. A moment ago, my consciousness suddenly came to a beautiful place while I was looking at your picture on the big glass wall.' Elysia sent her voice without ever opening her mouth, worried that someone might know something was wrong with her.

"Hmm, you can send telepathy? Interesting. Nice move to keep my existence secret. However, you don't need to worry, young girl. I have enveloped my being and you in an illusion. No one will know but you who are standing silently, listening to the prayer hmm-hmm." The little Goddess covered her mouth amusedly. She reassured the human girl in front of her.

Hearing that, Elysia nodded slowly then raised her hands with open palms as if she wanted to accommodate something. As for the little Goddess, somehow, she was willing to stand there.

Elysia glanced around for a moment to make sure she was indeed enveloped by the subtle energy called an illusion, then greeted the little Goddess politely. "It is a great honor for me to meet you, the glorious Goddess of Blessings. Is there anything this little girl can do for you?"
