Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 1218 Everyone Awakens Nature Souls

-----

The idea of helping the Blighters wasn't something that everyone was going to swallow easily, but it was something I wanted to suggest nonetheless, and something I was rather intent on doing so.

Some quickly supported me while a few didn't like the idea at all… However, the supporters easily outweighed the non-supporters!

"Ugh! You guys are so weird!" Rita groaned. "I'm with Rudras here but… Hah, seriously… okay, let's give them one chance… ONE! But if at the end, they don't want to, or they simply won't obey anymore… Then I'm breaking their skulls."

"A-Ahahah, okay, I accept those terms," I nodded. "Jannis too? Rudras?"

"I'm ok with that," Rudras nodded.

"Me too," Jannis smiled. "If it could be possible to heal their Nature Souls, then the light of nature would embrace them, perhaps their dark minds would be healed. And maybe… just maybe, we could speak with them better. Right now, Aria and her Blighters are clouded with darkness. The power of Kalmas divinity is strong after all."

"Kalmas…" I sighed. "I wonder if she's truly evil though? If she's doing this completely out of desperation, then maybe I can help her as well. But that's… even more of a fantasy than helping the Blighters so- Eh? Wait, don't look at me everyone, I wasn't saying I would help the goddess too!"

Aside from Mark, who seemed only surprised, they all looked at me with a bit of skepticism, I guess the support extended only to the Blighters which were other people.

A goddess created from people's faith wasn't in the list.

And that's fine, I guess.

If I ever see them again one day, then I'll have a talk with her.

I need to learn what's her true goal is.

I mean, isn't it sad too, when I think about it?

A Goddess born from people's faith, a guider of the souls of the dead, a guardian of graveyards.

Someone loved and created as the protector of the death, the phase that comes after life, which many people are so afraid of.

A goddess that guards' graveyards and protects the souls of the dead was very important somewhat, yet at the same time, she was quickly forgotten.

Abandoned, made by belief, and then slowly dissipating.

The horror she might have experienced as her entire being faded away, even though she had such a great attachment to people…

Its as if your own parents forget you exist, and throw you into the middle of the road, never to see you again.

Starving, without a ceiling to sleep beneath, cold and thirsty, you're in the middle of nowhere, and don't have any way to continue living without their help.

Thinking of Kalmas as a child might be a bit too much but… When I fought her, she didn't seem mentally well at all.

I don't know if that's simply the nature of her Divinity and Soul, or if she became like that after deteriorating for so long.

I don't plan to not fight her, I'll fight her, and I'll aim to stop her forever, even if that means… exorcizing her, as she has become more like a vengeful spirit than a goddess now.

But just like with Aria and the rest, I want to talk to her and learn what happened to her.

Just like I did with the Demon King of Miasma too…

Or maybe not?

I guess I'm letting the powers I've gained get to my head.

I can't be so delusional…

But I also don't want to leave behind the beliefs I have, my own morality.

If I leave them behind, how much different will I be from them?

If I become cold, ruthless, and calculative, wouldn't I be the same as them?

I don't want that…

Therefore, I do things that others might think as stupid, because…

That's how I've always believed I must live my life!

"Remember, Elayne… In a world where you can be anything, be good."

These were the words that my grandma often told to me when I was just a young girl.

She passed away when I was just sixteen, yet I still her words remember now.

Almost every day, these words have helped me move forward.

They have helped me move on after so many things have happened to me.

And because of my kindness, I've also made so many friends that help me so much.

I've improved people's lives, I've saved many and in return, they have also saved me from the darkness that was slowly eating away at my mind once my husband passed away.

Aria…

Kalmas…

I hope you'll let me talk with you two, at the very least.

"A-Anyways, I think we've talked enough about many things, we shouldn't waste more time, right?" wondered Jannis. "How about I let your new friends awaken their Nature Souls as well?"

"S-Sure! Rita, Lily, Jenny, do you want?" I asked.

"Nature Souls?" Rita was confused.

We explained to them what they were as the Druids did the rituals. These rituals included dances, a circle made of wood and leaves, and also the nature spirits that gathered around.

It was much simpler than with me, and then everyone got their own Nature Souls!

Woah, that was damn easy!

"So what are your Nature Souls, everyone? I only learned the one from Mark, my daughter, and Anna…" I wondered.

"Mine's Holy and… What was the other?" wondered Gabriel. "Right! Stars! Wow!"

"I acquired… Darkness," said Rita. "It was pretty damn obvious anyways… Though it's apparently different than Night and Shadows? We'll see."

"Earth!" said Lily with a smile. "Oh right, I brought everything you bought Elayne! Let's begin planting everything!"

"Oh yeah Lily, let's begin!" I nodded.

"I'm Poison? That's so weird! A Druid of Poison?" Jenny wondered, complaining.

"And I am, naturally, Gold!" smiled Elisa. "A rare one, but apparently related with the Circle of Earth, according to experts!"

"Um… Phantom," said Monica. "And… Curses."

"Oh, that must be super rare!" I said. "Looks like everyone got their new Nature Souls, that's good! Well done!"

"Holy, Stars, Poison, Gold, and Curses…" sighed Jannis. "I think those are very rare indeed! Curses in specific… This must be the first ever that is not a Fallen Nature Soul, incredible!"
