Star God Elco / You're a Good Person

The crystal shattered, Elco, with her long red hair, fell to the ground. Her body was very small, and she looked like a little girl who had not yet fully grown up.

When the children saw the little girl, who was about their age, they were filled with curiosity and stared at Elco with scrutinizing eyes.

They squatted down beside Elco and started talking amongst themselves.

Why isn't she waking up?

"Is she asleep?"

"Could he be dead?"

"Impossible. If he were dead, the Master wouldn't be so calm."

"Yes, Master loves children the most, she must still be alive."

"That means they're asleep."

The children stared at Elco lying on the ground with teary eyes, muttering incoherent things in loud voices, every word reaching Yuxian's ears.

Yuxian stood there expressionless, pretending not to hear.

He was waiting for Elco wake up, believing that Scathach had removed the curse or seal from her when she released Elco from the crystal.

Sure enough, not long after, Elco slowly opened her eyes.

She slowly sat up from the ground, rubbing her sleepy eyes with her little hands, as if she had just woken up from a dream.

"Wow! She's awake!"

"She's really awake!"

What's your name?

Why are you here?

"How old are you?"

"Would you like to come with us? Master loves children, he'll definitely like you too!"

Before Elco could figure out what was going on, she was bombarded with questions.

Moreover, several people were asking her the same question at the same time, leaving her unsure which one to answer first.

She looked around at her surroundings and answered, "My name is Elco."

"Star God Elco, you're awake." Yuxian, not wanting to let the children continue their antics, spoke up.

"I remember I was already dead, killed by the hero Lilia," Elco said calmly, recounting her last memory.

"But you came back to life."

"Yes, I'm alive again."

Elco stood up and asked calmly, "Why?"

She was asking why she had come back to life, and also asking Yuxian why he had saved her.

Everything at the scene indicated that it was this person who had saved him.

Yuxian said, "Because of some special reasons."

"You should have already realized that half of your soul is missing."

Elco nodded. "Yes, it was probably used by humans, but I haven't lost any of my memories."

"Humanity is extinct."

Elco paused briefly, then calmly repeated Yuxian's words, "Humanity is extinct..."

Yuxian didn't know what her views on humanity were, but that wasn't important to Yuxian.

He continued, "Your soul was used to create other life forms. Do you want to reclaim them?"

"Recycle?" Elco blinked and looked at Yuxian seriously. "You don't seem to want me to recycle them."

Yuxian nodded and sighed, "Come out with us, you'll see them."

Yuxian finished speaking, William quickly asked, "Where is Lilia?"

Elco looked at William and said, "I don't know anything about what happened after I was killed."

William hung his head and remained silent.

Since the Star God Elco was killed by Lilia, she naturally couldn't know Lilia's whereabouts.

She likes you.

Elco suddenly said to William.

William was taken aback, but quickly realized that "she" in Elco referred to Lilia.

When Lilia killed Elco, she revealed her feelings for William, claiming that she had taken William's place as the official hero to defeat Elco.

William's expression grew even more sorrowful...

"Let's go, this place is too uncomfortable, let's go back to the surface."

Yuxian finishing his sentence, Yu Xian turned and headed back the way he came. The matter here was over. Being underground in the ruins was indeed very depressing. It would be much more comfortable to return to a place with sunlight.

The group slowly began to retrace their steps.

Gretel and the others surrounded Elco, curious about her. They hadn't been able to get a word in edgewise before, but now they all started talking to her.

Although Elco is depicted as a little girl, she is not actually a child. Her age is probably the same as Scathach's age, which is unknown.

When facing the children, Elco did not appear indifferent; she patiently answered their questions and talked to them.

However, her face was expressionless, as if emotions were something that were immune to her.

Back on the ground, Yuxian quickly found Ishtar and Keter.

A large group of 'beasts' did attack the salvage team just now, but with Keter and Ishtar there, it was relatively easy to deal with.

Just as Yuxian had predicted, Ishtar actively maintained the reputation she had established.

Yuxian Ishtar out that as long as he stroked her hair, everything would be fine; she was a goddess who wasn't hard to win over.

Compared to the other goddesses of Chaldea, Ishtar is indeed relatively easy to deal with.

Upon seeing Yuxian return, Ishtar raised an eyebrow and teased, "Oh, Master, you've brought back another little girl after just one trip."

She was referring to Elco.

Yuxian couldn't help but roll his eyes, ignoring Ishtar's teasing.

If you were to accept her, that would be truly terrible; you would definitely be led astray.

"She is the Star God Elco," Yuxian introduced to everyone.

"Star God?" Keter felt an inexplicable fondness for Elco. She stared blankly at Elco, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

This feeling wasn't an illusion; it was a resonance between their souls. Compared to other Golden Fairies, Keter's connection with Elco was much deeper, so it wasn't surprising that she had this feeling.

When Elco saw Keter and the others, she understood what Yuxian meant when he was underground.

He was asking her on behalf of the children.

After greeting everyone, Elco stood quietly to the side. She didn't actually need to retrieve these soul fragments that had already left her.

However, she also didn't know how to get along with them. Having been used to being alone, Elco had no experience in this area.

She had only ever been in contact with the Three Earth God. In this world where there were no other Star God, she was a lonely person without any companions.

However, the problem was quickly resolved. Several children naturally pulled her away, treating her as a peer and taking her to play.

Yuxian watched with a smile Elco led away. He believed that as long as they spent some time together, Elco definitely be able to integrate into the group.

Yuxian was confident that the children's innocence would surely inspire her.

Section 163, Chapter 18: You Are a Good Person

After bringing Elco back, Yuxian had largely achieved his goal for this trip on Earth.

Next, we can leisurely wait for the salvage team to finish their work and then return to the Floating Continent.

With the First Beast gone, the ruins became very safe. Occasionally, a few 'beasts' would come to attack, but that was no problem at all; Keter and the others could easily deal with them.

Yuxian Elco about the Golden Fairies. The Past Life Erosion was the biggest problem facing these children. If it could not be resolved, they would still be unable to live like normal people.

Once they reach around twenty years old, their personality will inevitably break down due to the erosion of memories from their past life.

Regarding this, Elco stated that she could not offer any help and had no way to help these children solve this problem.

Although their souls originated from her, these children were essentially new lives, completely different from hers, and she could not interfere with their memories.

Upon receiving this answer, Yuxian remained silent for a long time. He then sought out Scathach to inquire about a solution.

If there is anyone here who can solve this problem, it must be Scathach.

If even Scathach can't resolve the issue of the Golden Fairies's Past Life Erosion, then there's truly nothing left to despair.

Scathach looked at Yuxian, and after a moment of contemplation, she said, "The so-called Past Life Erosion is nothing more than the rejection reaction caused by their bodies or life force being unable to withstand the powerful soul of the Star God Elco."

"To solve this problem, we either need to make their life force stronger enough to withstand their souls, or we need to weaken their souls to match their bodies."

Yuxian nodded. After Scathach explained the essence of the problem, he suddenly understood.

The Golden Fairies' magic power is inversely proportional to their life force, which is why the more they fight, the faster these children are eroded.

Ultimately, the soul of the Star God Elco was still too powerful. Even though it was shattered into many pieces, it was still a power that ordinary people could not withstand.

These children, of course, could not fully withstand Elco's soul, and in the end, they could only be slowly eroded and decay.

The only feasible way Yuxian could think of to weaken the power of the soul fragments was to place seals on these children.

By sealing away an overly powerful soul and allowing only a small portion to leak out, one can achieve the condition of matching the body.

Enhancing their vitality is not an easy task.

In short, neither of the two solutions proposed by Scathach is easily achievable.

Yuxian was once again lost in confusion.

Yuxian thought that finding Elco would solve the problem, but to his dismay, there was still no progress.

Yuxian asked Scathach how to enhance their vitality.

Scathach replied calmly, "Their essence is the dead, souls created through necromancy. Enhancing the life force of the dead is unacceptable; it violates the boundary between life and death."

Yuxian understood that Scathach disagreed with enhancing their vitality.

"Is there really no other way?" Yuxian was unwilling to give up. He had already gone this far, and he didn't want to give up halfway.

He could certainly just pack up and leave, but he couldn't convince himself to do so.

If he were to leave like this, he would definitely not be happy; it would become a thorn in his heart that he would never be able to let go of.

He must do his best no matter what, so that he will have no regrets.

Yuxian has been looking troubled these past few days, and everyone can see it.

Snap!

"Master, tell me, who made you unhappy? Let's go and kill him!" Kuro slammed his fist on the table and said indignantly.

Illya immediately removed her from the room. Slamming one's hand on the table in front of the Master is not polite behavior, and she is more knowledgeable about etiquette than Kuro in this regard.

Jack had already placed his hand on the dagger; if Yuxian gave the word, the women could really go and kill someone.

The children's concern made Yuxian smile, and her mood improved significantly.

His troubled mood unconsciously affected the children. They were actually paying close attention to Yuxian move, and when Yuxian was in a bad mood, they would also be affected and would not enjoy playing as much.

Yuxian decided to simply stop thinking about this problem for the time being, put it out of his mind, and play with the children first. Maybe he would get an idea someday.

The Ground Salvage Team's work has finally come to an end, and the airship, fully loaded with cargo, is finally ready to return to the Floating Continent.
