Chapter 802
"I indeed do not know any of you."
"Eh?"
"But I know Ryuu. Ryuu is my Encounter Target. It is because of her that I have some understanding of you all."
Broly introduced his situation.
"Ah, Ryuu got a boyfriend?"
"That elf actually dates a man?"
"Muscular tough guy, he's my type~"
"His face isn't bad either, he's a handsome guy. Ryuu, that guy, actually eats this well?!"
……
With the familiar elf as a link, this group of undead girls of the Astraea Familia crowded in front of Broly and chattered away.
Some even directly laid hands on him, with an attitude that since he was their own Familia elf's boyfriend, they didn't need to be polite with their own people.
There were even those who cared about what position the two would use when doing that sort of thing, given the huge body size difference between Broly's soul form image and Ryuu.
"Wait, everyone, the time I can stay here is limited. Can we say something useful?"
Broly's scalp felt a bit numb from the noise, and he hurriedly interrupted these undead girls who were asking increasingly excessive questions.
"Alright, um, what that Evil God over there said, you want to resurrect us?"
"Hey, what do you mean 'that guy'?!"
Erebos was very dissatisfied, but was ignored.
"Not resurrect you all, but only resurrect Miss Adi."
"Eh, me?"
The simple short-haired girl pointed at her own nose, revealing a puzzled expression.
"Yes, because only you have a corpse. As for the others, they have no corpses. And the target of the resurrection magic's release requires at least a complete corpse to be usable."
After the explanation, Broly finally let this group of undead girls understand who would truly be revived.
Speaking of it, it's a bit ironic. Adi was the one who, back then, was used by the Dark Faction as a little girl human bomb, blown to pieces and killed.
The death method was extremely miserable, but because she died on the surface, conversely most of her corpse was able to be preserved, until it waited for today's resurrection chance.
"I woke you up because I know you are companions Ryuu values very much. I wanted to ask if you have any words you want me to convey to Ryuu?"
"Convey words……"
The girls of the Astraea Familia looked at each other. The Pallum girl named Leila spoke up first.
"Knowing Ryuu's nature, she'd probably feel that surviving alone is cunning. So, please help me convey words, tell that foolish elf not to have random thoughts."
"That's right. Let that guy Ryuu know she lives bearing our entrustment. In the Lower World, in place of us who have already turned into stars, she must protect the justice oath we once made together, let justice flow unceasingly……"
"Please tell Ryuu, it's really great that she's alive!"
The undead girls of the Astraea Familia voiced no doubt whatsoever about Ryuu's survival, such as: why was she able to survive?
One by one, they felt very happy about the elf's survival, about her still living in the Lower World, and had Broly help convey their dying words and blessings.
Adi was somewhat infected by the mood. She, who could be resurrected, actually wanted to stay and accompany Alicia and the others. Then the red-haired girl struck her forehead with a hand knife.
"You can be resurrected, yet you don't resurrect. Your brain really lacks a string!"
"That's right, Adi. Hurry up and resurrect back to the Lower World. Carrying our shared wish, go properly take care of that guy Ryuu who has a brittle heart for us!"
Of course, aside from these things that make one's nose sour and are somewhat moving, there were also those who entrusted Broly to convey some private words to the living.
"Don't know if Ryuu's man, you know Finn of the Loki Familia?"
"I know him."
"Is he still alive?"
"Alive."
"Then can I ask you to help convey to him, just say Leila of the Astraea Familia, even if dead, still likes him. Not marrying him and reviving the Pallum together is my lifelong regret."
"Eh?!"
"Ah, Leila, you're really bad, actually wanting to become someone the other can't forget?"
"Hmph hmph. In life I couldn't get what I wanted and enter that guy's heart. Then now I'll just die in that guy's heart!"
Good. The Justice Familia's girl isn't so just anymore either.
Broly was somewhat speechless, but still agreed.
And before preparing to return, he came before Arfia.
"Something the matter?"
Sensing the Saiyan's approach, Arfia opened her eyes, looking at him with two differently colored pupils.
"Miss Arfia, don't know if you know a boy named Bell?
Of course, you died seven years ago.
So, back then the other party should have been a 7-year-old boy."
"Bell, don't know him. What about it?"
Arfia looked at him with some puzzlement.
"No, just your aura feels a bit similar to this Familia companion of mine. Just asking."
"Hmm, then what's his surname?"
"Kronos."
"Kronos!"
Arfia's voice/tone suddenly rose.
"What's wrong?"
"That guy who always runs over to tease my younger sister, he shares this surname too."
She was somewhat gritting her teeth, but quickly reined in the angry expression on her face.
"If I'm not mistaken, that boy you mentioned is probably my nephew."
"Then, Miss Arfia, is there any message you need me to pass on to him?"
Arfia was stunned; she hadn't known during her life that her younger sister had a child, so what message could she pass?
"Then, just let that child grow up healthy."
This aunt who never met him face-to-face had nothing much to say; rather, her younger sister Metria might miss her own child.
But her own younger sister had been frail and sickly since childhood, wasn't even an Adventurer, just an Ordinary Person, and died even earlier than herself.
When she entered the Underworld and found the other's Soul, her younger sister had already returned to a pure Soul state — that is, had already Forgotten her memories from life.
She had been guarding her younger sister all along, sleeping together with her, just waiting for the distant future when she herself would also lose her life memories, so they could reincarnate again and be reborn as sisters.
"Alright, I'll pass on the message for you.
However, Miss Arfia, do you have any intention of being Revived?
If so, I can tell Bell to Resurrect you personally."
"Ah, my younger sister's child can also use Resurrection Magic?"
"Mm."
"I would like to be Revived, but I'm afraid it won't work."
"Why?
"Because I likewise don't have a Corpse."
Arfia answered.
At this moment, she somewhat regretted her behavior of handsomely jumping into the Dungeon's fire pit at the moment of death in life.
It was a bit rash; if only a body had been left behind, perhaps she could be Revived now, return to the Lower World and take care of the child in place of her younger sister.
"In the future, perhaps I'll come bother this side of the Underworld again."
"Welcome. Of course, if you can bring some interesting stories from the Lower World, that would be even better."
Broly encircled Adi's waist, flew up, and waved goodbye to the Underworld locals below.
"Mr. Broly, do you know my older sister?"
Flying back along the way they came, he heard the girl in his hand ask.
"Miss Shakti? I know her."
"Then how is she?"
"Not familiar, but before entering this side of the Underworld, she just came over to our Familia, and right now she's probably still watching you being Revived by Resurrection Magic."
"Eh?"
"For specifics, wait until you're Revived and go ask yourself. Right, once you come alive and can breathe, don't have a panicked look."
Broly's Spirit Body flight speed was very fast; before long he returned to the Gate of the Underworld still maintained in an open state.
Outside the gate, Shakti had already been explained the matter of Resurrection Magic by Liu; she originally didn't believe the matter of Reviving someone dead for many years, but the Gods present and Orario's two famous Healers made her unable to speak in rebuttal, yet she also held a sliver of hope as she gazed at the Light Pillar.
Time passed second by second; suddenly, Broly's Spirit Body darted out from within the Light Pillar, while the girl's Soul in his hand Vanished.
After Broly's Soul returned to his own body, the Light Pillar also gradually shrank; the skeletal girl on the experiment table now had her Physical Body repaired, and with the first rise and fall of her chest, her eyelashes also Trembled.
【Resurrection, it's actually real!】
Seeing her familiar younger sister, Shakti directly rushed over, collapsing onto the edge of the experiment table: "Adi, is it you?"
"Older sister, you seem to have become Mature a lot."
After Adi Opened Eyes, the First Sentence she said was this.
"It's been seven years, how could you not change?"
Shakti embraced her younger sister.
"Adi..."
Liu walked up close.
"I feel like I slept a very long sleep, and had a short Dream. In the Dream, Liu, your Boyfriend seemed to have Intruded into a gray-white World, saying he wanted to Revive me, and there were Alicia and the others, telling me after Reviving to take good care of you in their place..."
After the Soul Integrated into the body, Adi's Memory seemed to become Foggy; although she Remembered Some Things, the Overall feeling was just like Dreaming.
"Ah, Alicia?"
"Mm, when I went to the Underworld side, I Conveniently looked for them..."
Broly walked over and repeated the messages from the Undead Girls of the Astraea Familia in the Underworld for Liu.
The Elf, who had originally been happily shedding tears because her good friend Adi was successfully Revived, directly Collapsed on the ground and wept uncontrollably after hearing the dying words of her past departed companions.
Astraea stayed to accompany the crying Elf; Shakti also stayed to accompany her just-Revived younger sister; the others and the Gods tactfully left the Room to them.
The commotion from this Resurrection Magic was huge; Hestia had to go Respond to the Guild Personnel that had been Negotiated with Uranus to be dispatched.
Of course, it was an Acquaintance — Half-Elf Miss Eina; the other party would Cooperate in recording, based on Hestia's oral account, tonight's successful Resurrection Magic, and then Publicly announce and Publicize it.
"Right, Bell, wait a moment."
"Broly-san, is something the matter?"
"Your great-aunt entrusted me to tell you, hoping you'll grow up healthy from now on."
"Ah?"
Bell was very dazed; when did he have a great-aunt, how did he not know.
After Broly's Explanation, Bell Reacted — turns out it was a great-aunt who had already died long ago.
Having relatives in the Underworld, this really is somewhat of a Hell joke.
"Ruli, stop crying; Alicia and the others are still worried about you."
Astraea comforted the elf, but these words had little effect on Ruli.
"If... if back then I hadn't been blinded by hatred, and could have taken Alicia's and the others' remains back to bury them after the fact, perhaps... perhaps, waah..."
The words of her deceased companion worrying about her in the land of the Underworld hit Ruli hard, while Justice Goddess Astraea felt somewhat helpless; who could know beforehand that something like resurrecting the dead was possible?
"Broly-san, have you seen my mother?"
Beside them, Bell looked at the Saiyan youth with great anticipation.
"I haven't."
Broly answered honestly.
"I was raised by my grandfather since I was young, so I have no impression of my mother. Grandfather said my mother left this world shortly after giving birth to me, before I grew up. If possible, I really want to know what my mother looks like and what kind of person she is..."
Bell felt somewhat regretful.
"It's fine; Underworld God Erebos is easy to talk to. Later we'll find someone who died long ago and is hard to resurrect. I'll use Resurrection Magic, you use the Sheep Talisman for Astral Projection, go to the land of the Underworld, and ask him to help search for your mother's soul."
Broly patted the shoulder of the young boy in front of him, just as he heard Ruli crying and saying, "If there are remains, I could see Alicia and the others again."
He walked over directly and said to the elf with red eyes from crying, "Ruli, even without remains, you can actually see your former companions."
"Huh?!"
The sobbing stopped abruptly, and Astraea and Ruli both looked at him. Broly then said something similar to what he had told Bell.
The Gate of the Underworld can be opened with Resurrection Magic; living people cannot enter the Underworld, but if they become souls, they can enter.
With connections on the Underworld's side and the Sheep Talisman, for Ruli to see her former companions who have passed away, isn't it just a matter of her going to the land of the Underworld herself and saying hello to that easy-to-talk-to Dark Lord God?
For someone who can cross the boundary between life and death at will, the pain and sorrow of parting in life and death are not a big deal at all.
With a runny nose and red eye sockets, Ruli was speechless for a moment.
Broly treated going to the Underworld like visiting a neighbor's front door, completely wiping away her sorrow.
"So, stop crying, okay?"
Ruli's mouth twitched; she really couldn't help it and finally started laughing.
At this moment, she could clearly feel a sense of happiness called peace of mind.
And this feeling was brought to her by the youth before her.
"Miss Adi was resurrected by repairing remains. Although we had already conducted experiments and verified success, to be safe, I suggest she temporarily stay at Hearth Manor for our observation..."
Shakti wanted to take her younger sister back to the Ganesha Familia, but was stopped by Miss Fool.
The reason for stopping her was something Shakti could not ignore.
"Sister, Ruli is here, so I won't be uncomfortable. If you miss me, just come see me."
The resurrected Miss Adi indeed had a somewhat optimistic personality.
Shakti did not persist, nodded, and took her Familia members back.
The matter of Miss Adi being resurrected, and the matter of the Hestia Familia uniting with several other Familias to research Resurrection Magic, both had to be reported back to Lord Ganesha.
Tonight in Orario, it was destined to be impossible to be peaceful.
Of course, for those living at Hearth Manor, after seeing off the people sent by the Guild, it did become peaceful.
"Broly, I also want to go to the land of the Underworld to see if my father is there..."
Ais came over and said she also wanted to go to the Underworld.
"I feel that in the future, these children will no longer have too much fear of death."
Hephaestus said.
"Being able to resurrect and cross life and death, like gods; would any god fear death?"
Astraea retorted.
"That's true too."
The next day, after the Guild publicly announced the cause of the light pillar that appeared on West Main Street last night, the meeting of gods and gods, the encounter of adventurers and adventurers, and even the chatter between ordinary people after meeting, the opening remarks all seemed to become the same thing.
"Did you hear? Last night's light pillar, the Hestia Familia's Resurrection Magic..."
Resurrection Magic directly became Orario's biggest hot topic.
Almost everyone, all gods, were discussing this thing.
