Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination

Chapter 556 - Seven Deadly Sins

"I'm back... Phew, that's a lot of work but done in half a day. Here, I'm returning this to you. I don't want to feel the acceleration of flying at such crazy speed again." Nell opened the door and instantly shoved a metal cube into Oceanid.

She then smoothed her hair while grumbling. "It was super super fast, but I'm kind of dizzy and nauseous right now."

"Haha, you asked for that. You were able to finish it in such a short time, right? Where's the gratitude?" Oceanid tossed the cube in his hand then caught it.

"Thank you very much." Nell turned and flew away towards her big sister and Elysia.

"Welcome back."

"Thanks for the hard work."

Rhea and Elysia greeted Nell. They were pretty concerned because Nell looked tired.

"Mm, are we leaving this evening? I've also informed Arthur, Alexander, and the other Emperors about our schedule for next week." Nell landed on her big sister's palm.

"Our schedule for next week? If I may ask, what do you mean by that?" Elysia asked in astonishment. She couldn't remember any significant activity that would take place next week.

"Eh? You don't remember that, Ely? We've discussed this before, though? We're going to gather all the regional lords from every continent into the same room to discuss important matters regarding the future of this world." Nell felt a little confused because Elysia should have known about it.

"Hm, is it possible, that brief conversation? My apologies, I thought you only had the intention of engaging the Human Race and the Devil Race to cooperate or perhaps make peace for the good of the world." Elysia scratched her cheek gently with an awkward smile.

"Well, we'll get everyone involved, but only the Emperors or Empresses will attend next week's event." Nell nodded slightly.

"Ahem, sorry to interrupt your conversation. But, is it possible, can we leave now? It's not a close trip, right? I think the sooner the better. I want to show my human friends the real civilization of devils before night falls." Sylvia cleared her throat from the side for attention.

Nell didn't answer and just stared at her big sister. However, Rhea only looked at Elysia for a clue.

Their plan was to leave at dusk, after dinner, for a reason. However, that could change if Elysia had a different opinion.

That simple gesture looked different in Sylvia's eyes. She had believed that Elysia had an extremely terrifying natural talent. Still, it was even more so than she had expected. It was not only the Goddesses Tamer, but the Goddesses also considered Elysia's opinion very much.

Elysia only replied with a slight nod. With that, Nell returned the nod and turned her head to Sylvia. "Alright then, let's go now. It's probably a four hour journey since I'm feeling a bit dizzy from the Sea God acceleration magic item."

With that being said, everyone immediately prepared to leave before they left the Lavely Pizza building. They boarded the Evroria luxurious royal carriage but without horses. The reliable magic carpet was in charge of taking them to fly into the sky after leaving the city gate.

Under the glow of the evening sky, an invisible carriage flew steadily towards the Devil Continent. It was traveling at a relatively slow pace compared to their recent journey. Yet, it was an opportunity for the curious ones to enjoy the scenery around them.

"Ah, that is the border of our continent. We have already left the Human Continent and are about to enter the Devil Continent." Ella pointed to a strait below.

"Keke, you are about to enter the territory of devils, innocent girls. So, how are you feeling now? Nervous? Afraid?" Sylvia laughed like an evil devil.

"Uhm, we are under divine protection. So, we don't feel scared. But, yes, I feel a bit nervous considering we will meet a lot of devils." Evelyn twiddled the cube in her hand.

"Hm, well... It's okay, your nervousness will disappear when you arrive at my hometown. The devils over there aren't that bad, but they're all stupid sometimes--" Sylvia then gave a little story about her hometown to the two human girls.

Meanwhile, Elysia was just watching from the side,? feeling calm and at peace. Humans and devils could actually make peace, or at least strike a truce, if they suppressed their egos of past grudges and didn't make things worse by creating new hatred. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

'Mhm, Ely, good morning.' Elena propelled her body to sit down and do some stretching. She feels fit again after getting enough rest.

'Mm, it's evening now, sleepy head. Look what you did to my spirit.' Elysia answered her greeting with a slight scolding.

'I'm not a sleepy head, but I just need twice as much rest as you.' Elena defended herself with a little pout. She then turned her head to check Elysia's spirit.

Elena smiled as if she was innocent to watch her saliva splatter on Elysia spirit's face. She didn't know what happened while she was asleep, but she knew it was her fault.

'Eh-eh, ah? Ooh, I'm sorry, Ely. Did I drool in my sleep? Don't worry, I'll be responsible for everything.' Elena wiped Elysia spirit's face clean with her dress.

'Now your spirit is beautiful as new. Mwah, here's a good morning kiss.' Elena kissed Elysia spirit's cheek with a mischievous smile.

'...' Elysia blushed slightly to witness that.

'Hmm? Are we going somewhere? Wait a minute, Ely. I'll accompany you out there.' Elena jumped out of bed.

'Uhm, we are on our way to the Devil Continent's capital city.' Elysia tried her best to disguise her blushed face with the help of magic before anyone noticed it.

'Oh, so we're going to take Sylvia home, and have a look at the devils daily lives in their environment? Could the Evil God be there now? If so, I'm sure our demonic dragon girl won't want to be left there even if it's her house. Oh, right! I remember Devil Continent is quite advanced in technology. I wonder what they have other than something sophisticated like a smartphone called Swype, hehe...' Elena then went out of the Soul Realm and materialized her body in the outside world.

Yuuki stared at the heavenly lady before her eyes for a moment. She then moved to the side because she knew that the Goddess of Light would choose to sit beside Elysia rather than anywhere else.

"Thank you for your consideration." Elena gave a gentle smile and sat down beside Elysia.

"I am flattered." Yuuki smiled happily.

"So, basically, humans and devils are similar. They both have good and bad, especially when it comes to their inner-sin. I would call it hypocritical if you humans call yourself noble beings without faults and sins. Not just us, but all races also have their share of it. Many of them embrace grave sins knowingly or unknowingly." Sylvia folded her arms and nodded proudly like a sage.

"Oh~" Evelyn, Ella, and the little beasts listened to that like good listeners.

"That's a good speech, Sylvia. So, it's a lecture from the devil about devils? What conclusions can we draw, and what kind of grave sin do you mean?" Elena gave a light applause.

The applause immediately made Sylvia a little surprised. She and almost everyone immediately turned their heads towards the sound source.

"Oh~ Welcome back, Ely's master! I am honored to receive your compliment." Sylvia put her hands together with a burst of joy.

She then cleared her throat to make sure her voice sounded reassuring. "Ahem, so it's like this. You may not have heard me from the start. From my observations, I just explained the similarities and differences between devils and humans.

So, in conclusion, there are good devils and bad devils, as well as good humans and bad humans. All races have their share of these matters too. And, the grave sin that I mentioned earlier is seven deadly sins. The sins of pride, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, sloth, and wrath. If not all of them, then some of them are something that all living things have in common."

"Hum, no one can deny that." Elena replied with a slight nod. She then looked at the little one who was eating a strawberry cake. "What do you think, o the Goddess of Blessings?"

"Huh? What? It's just mortal sins. I am a divine creature that has transcended into a realm far above it." Nell was a little surprised that she didn't expect to be suddenly dragged into the conversation.

"So, you're saying that you're a Goddess without mortal sins? Then, can you explain with your unusual appetite, o little glutton?" Elena folded her arms and gave a mysterious smile.

"Err, that's different... If you indulge yourself once in a while, that's fine, right? After all, we've lived for hundreds of thousands, or maybe millions of years, I can't even remember how long I've lived. How boring would it be to live that long without us pouring out our heart's desires and emotions?" Nell looked at her cake and immediately corrected the erroneous assumption with self-defense.

"What's the difference with that? God is just much stronger creatures than mortals. Other than that, there's almost no difference." Elena rested her cheek on her hand while glancing at Nell, Vanessa, and Sylvia. She hardly saw any difference when it came to their gluttony.

"Hey, it seems we're not discussing the same thing. God or not is still a living being. We're just rulers of our own divinity and laws. And, again, I've never denied that I'm not a foodie." Nell raised her eyebrows as she realized that Elena's constant threat was still there. She was still being targeted when she felt that they had reconciled!?

"Hum-mm~ So, what do you think about humans and devils with their mortal sins, Sylvia? You look surprisingly pretty wise, I never expected that." Elena hummed and asked Sylvia to continue. She was happy to talk about this matter now.

That way, their group would at least not consider the Gods and Goddesses like perfect beings without the slightest bit of fault. It was dangerous if something untoward happened in the future.

Sylvia put her hands together, slightly nervous. She knew that she could make a bit of an argument between the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Blessings, but she chose to talk.

"Uhm, based on my observations... Lust is a strong passion or longing, especially for sexual desires. Gluttony is an excessive and ongoing eating of food or drink. Greed is an excessive pursuit of material goods. Sloth is an excessive laziness or the failure to act and utilize one's talents. Wrath is a strong anger and hate towards another person. Envy is the intense desire to have an item that someone else possesses. Pride is an excessive view of one's self without regard for others.. I also cannot deny that I am free from those sins."
