Already seeing the explosion in the future, Eve instantly created countless barriers that surround her, the white-haired man, and Aleya, and in an instant, as the explosion clashed with the barrier she had created, the explosion destroyed all of her barriers like nothing, engulfing them all and disintegrating themselves in the process. As the explosion stopped, you could see all four of their bodies suddenly reformed and returned to normal, but this time Elysium had broken free from the permanent state of death.
Noticing that the explosion she had created seemed to have little to no effect due to Eve suddenly making a barrier, that did not matter as she had broken free from the state of permanent death, so she suddenly gathered a huge amount of essence on top of her head and instantly threw it at them. Noticing that a huge amount of essence was coming at them, Eve suddenly moved from her position and, using the black sword in her hand, slashed off the essence that Elysium threw at them into oblivion.
"Hey, Elysium, I want to ask something" Aleya said as she suddenly appeared above Elysium and fired a barrage of essence-infused fists. As Elysium is redirecting every single punch of Aleya, making her hit the floor instead of Elysium, every single punch creates a huge force of shockwave that even the pillars far away were destroyed, as a spike made out of essence suddenly appeared everywhere, trying to pierce Aleya's body but failing to hit her as she already disappeared from her position.
"Oh, then please go on, ask me anything you want, Aleya" Elysium said as she dodged the incoming essence that the white-haired man fired at her, as she suddenly created a barrier that separated them both as the essence that the white-haired man only hits the barrier she had created. Noticing that he did not scratch the barrier, he stopped firing the essence as she waited for a chance to hit her when he saw a flaw in her movements.
"Why are you trying to stop us despite knowing that we would win nonetheless?" Aleya said as she appeared in front of Elysium's barrier and broke it using her fist as Eve suddenly entered the broken barrier, which instantly recovered. Seeing that Eve had entered her barrier, Elysium readied herself as Eve suddenly created many swords made of essence and fired them all at Elysium.
Elysium, seeing the huge amount of swords made out of essence, suddenly tried to hit her, but all of it suddenly disintegrated. She then used a huge amount of essence to push Eve out of the barrier, as Eve was flung out of the barrier itself, making her crash into multiple pillars.
"Easy question, yet quite confidential. To answer your question, it's an order. Maybe you can connect it with those few words, maybe, maybe not, I've made it quite obvious after all" Elysium said as suddenly the white-haired man appeared behind her as if he had passed through the barrier that she had created as a punch right into her face landed as she flew so far and hit her barrier, but it seems even her barrier could not hold the flying Elysium as it even broke, making Elysium hit the floor multiple times like a stone got skipped in the water.
"It's my child, First Eldritch" Eve said while coming after Elysium, who is still lying on the floor. As Eve suddenly passed through her in the next second, a huge slice could be seen in the ground, ceiling, and pillars, but the body of Elysium suddenly turned into smoke, as if the body were an illusion from the very start.
"You mean, my grandchild? Well, looking at what she had done in the past, she seemed to be the perfect fit for doing all of these things, turning all of existence into her game" Aleya said as she suddenly appeared above the real Elysium as she created a sword made out of essence as she tried to impale Elysium to the ground, but Elysium dodged it and punched Aleya out of her way. Right now, she is in a very tight situation.
"'Eter Nia-'" Elysium said as she was suddenly cut off by the white-haired man by punching her guts, throwing her far away due to the force, and hitting the wall in the process, making her spill blood through every pore of hers.
"Do you really think we'll allow you to enter 'Eter Nial Mla'?" The white-haired man said as he suddenly got knocked to the ground from the time dilation when Elysium touched his head when he actually punched her in the guts.
"Cough! Cough! Cough! Well, that seemed to have failed" Elysium said as Aleya suddenly appeared beside her, holding a sword made out of essence as she lunged it forward, tying to pierce Elysium, but instead of being pierced, Elysium caught the sword with her hands.
"Tch!" Aleya said as she infused more essence into the sword as Elysium's hand started to bleed profusely as black markings could be seen seeping out from her wound. Noticing the black markings on her hands, she instantly punched Aleya. Aleya was suddenly thrown quite far away as Elysium started to heal her hand as the black markings suddenly disappeared.
"That was close, don't you agree, Aleya? If it had pierced me in my brain, I might be put back to permanent death again" Elysium said as she was slowly walking towards her. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong—very wrong.
"And you should just have gone to sleep" Aleya said as the whole place suddenly returned to normal with all its destroyed pillars. Floors and walls seemed to have returned to normal, but what's weird is that she is sitting in a chair and sipping tea.
"Eh? What the, why are we suddenly drinking tea?" Elysium said as they all seemed to just sit around the luxurious table that was filled with tea and desserts.
"Hey Eve, just know, did you use your 'Eter Nial Mla' for a second for this to happen?" Elysium said as she took a sip from the tea in front of her, noticing that it wasn't sweet enough. She took some sugar cubes from the table and put them in her tea, tasted again, and smiled that it's the correct flavor for what she just wanted.
"Why, yes, after you seemed on the route of not allowing to go so a little tea party wouldn't hurt" Eve said as she also took a sip of her own tea, took a cookie, and took a bite of it.
"It's my loss then? Ahh!! I didn't even have the chance to use my 'Eter Nial Mla'. Oh well, I can't make the tea go cold, can I?" Elysium said as she rested her back in the chair while looking at the ceiling that had disappeared, and only then did she see an endless blue sky that stretched endlessly.
"Seems like you like this type of tea" Eve said, as she took another sip of the tea in her hand.
"Of course, after I was created in the image of my creator, it's natural to like this type of tea, but there's something missing on the table" Elysium said, as she seemed to have been created to be almost similar to her creator.
"Here you go" Eve said as she suddenly created a parfait in her hands and gave it to Elysium. Seeing the parfait, Elysium's eyes glowed, as this type of dessert is her favorite.
"Wahh! Parfait, thank you, Eve" Elysium said as she took a bite of the parfait with a big smile on her face.
