Ch 248: A Good Relationship With Your Mother-in-law Is Key To Family Harmony, Especially When She’s A Goddess

“Oh? Interesting. You’re already invincible on Earth, and you still need to borrow my power?”

Sphia looked at Bal with interest. She wanted to know what Bal was planning.

“In terms of martial prowess, I may indeed be the strongest on Earth, but when it comes to politics and intrigue, I’m still no match for those politicians and their Advisors.”

“Then what do you want me to lend?”

“I hope you can appear in the world.”

As soon as Bal finished speaking, Sphia’s face fell.

“You need to know one thing, Gods cannot appear in the world to interfere with Humans.”

“I know, so it’s not that I really want you to appear in the world.”

“What do you mean?”

“I want you to send a dream, to have a conversation with that person in their dreams.”

“……You know I am the God of Light, right?”

“Yeah, so what?”

“The sending of a dream you speak of is the power of the Dream God.”

“……Then let’s change the method.”

“What method?”

“When I need it, please bestow your Divine Light upon me.”

“Why?”

“This is just a safety measure. When I’m truly powerless to turn the tide, your Divine Light will be the greatest help to me.”

“Are you trying to make those people think that your supporter is me?”

“Yes. That way, even if the Kingdom doesn’t acknowledge it, God’s Country can testify for me.”

“You know this is a risky move.”

“But I promised Nia.”

“Forget it, let’s do it your way. Bestow your Divine Light when you need it, but there’s a limit to the number of times.”

“Once is enough.”

“I hope so.”

After making an agreement with Sphia, the tense atmosphere vanished in an instant.

“Mom, where’s Dad?”

“That guy, I can’t comment.”

“What’s wrong?”

Sphia sighed.

“That Mephistopheles, he came to my place a few days ago and took some things, and now I don’t know where he is gallivanting.”

“Um…”

At this time, Phia, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, walked to Bal’s side.

“Go play with Philia for a while, I have something to talk to Goddess Sphia about.”

“Can’t I listen?”

“No.”

“So stingy.”

Bal mumbled as he walked towards Philia. Although his voice was very low, Phia still heard it. She flicked a small ice needle towards Bal’s butt.

“I can hear you, Dumb Dog!”

Bal rubbed his butt. Fortunately, Phia had held back her strength, otherwise Bal might have been unable to move for a while.

After confirming that Bal was not nearby, Phia looked at Sphia, but Sphia spoke first.

“Long time no see, Merry, or should I say Phia.”

“Long time no see, just call me Phia, I still prefer this name, after all, in this life I married Bal.”

“It seems you really like him. Tell me, what’s up? So mysterious, you even need him to leave.”

Phia took a deep breath. Then she said very seriously:

“Can you teach me some God’s Magic?”

“What do you want to learn this magic for?”

“I want to be the strongest support behind Bal, I want to protect him, just as he has always protected me. During the Dragon Cavalry Regiment’s encirclement, during the Pseudo-God Incident, and during the Time Travel, I was always very clumsy. Although I possess most of the world’s magic, when facing things beyond my understanding, I will still hold him back. So I hope to learn some God’s Magic, which can also be considered protecting him.”

Listening to Phia’s words, Sphia was very pleased.

“Well said! My son marrying you is truly his good fortune!”

“So?”

“I agree to you.”

“Thank you very much!”

Phia stood up and bowed to Sphia, Sphia quickly asked Phia to sit down.

“I agree to you, but there’s one thing.”

“What?”

“I will give you a copy of my Magic Book, but these Magic Books are all written in Divine Script, and the prerequisite for use and chanting is to be able to understand these texts. This is very difficult because Human Realm’s translation magic cannot decipher these texts.”

“Then can you teach me?”

“I can only teach you a little.”

Sphia reached out to the air, and she took out several books from an invisible place.

“This one is a collation of Divine Script and Common Language that I wrote when I was bored, and the remaining ones are copies of my Magic Books. I’ll give them all to you.”

“That’s great!”

“Remember, don’t let others see these books, except for Bal and Philia. You should know what will happen if this kind of book remains in the world.”

“I understand.”

Phia put the books into Extradimensional Space. Seeing that Phia could use this magic, although she had seen it many times, she still wanted to ask Phia.

“Is this Dimensional Magic of yours self-created?”

“Huh? You mean this Storage Magic?”

“Pfft…hahahahahaha, Storage Magic, you’re so naive. Haven’t you ever thought about what would happen if you put something at the entrance of this dimensional gate and close the gate?”

“……Ah!”

“Really? You never thought about it?”

Sphia looked at Phia in astonishment.

“Although the method of compiling the Magical Formula is different, the effect is basically the same. You have great aptitude.”

“Don’t say it, I didn’t even think of this use, it’s so embarrassing!”

Phia covered her face, her face turning red.

“Although I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, since you can compile this kind of magic yourself, it will save you a lot of effort when learning my magic. Work hard to learn the Divine Script, my most cherished daughter-in-law.”

“Woo… I understand.”

On Bal’s side, he was playing tag with Philia and Xiao Jiu near the rockery. Bal was the “it” and chased Philia and Xiao Jiu.

“Xiao Jiu, run! Don’t let Dad catch you!”

Hearing Philia’s call, Xiao Jiu started to run. It tried hard to flap its wings to fly, but maybe it was too young or something, it couldn’t fly. So Xiao Jiu had to run on the ground.

“Time’s almost up, I’m going to start catching people!”

Bal opened his eyes, and he started searching for Philia and Xiao Jiu on the rockery. Because he was facing a Child and a Pet, Bal didn’t plan to use Magic Enhancement.

“So it’s here.”

Bal saw a hem of a skirt showing behind a stone pillar, he determined that it was Philia, so he quietly went around to plan an ambush.

“Hehe, I found you, delicious Child!”

Bal suddenly jumped out, and Philia ran away.

“Ah, the man-eating ghost is going to catch Philia!”

Thanks to his long legs, Bal quickly approached Philia, but this was a rockery, with many low places that Philia could pass through.

“Wow, the man-eating ghost is so scary.”

Philia ran while making dramatic pronouncements, and thanks to her height and the terrain’s advantage, she quickly shook off Bal.

Although Bal didn’t catch anyone within the stipulated time, seeing Philia happy, Bal didn’t care. He carried Philia and Xiao Jiu back to the pavilion, where Phia was talking to Sphia.

“You know what? Bal was very naughty when he was a child, he often hid here and there in that rockery, like a monkey.”

“hahahahahaha, I didn’t expect that.”

Hearing his Mom talking about his history, Bal quickly handed Philia and Xiao Jiu to Phia, and covered Sphia’s mouth.

“Mom, why are you still talking about things from so long ago!”

“Hilarious, now you know to be shy?”

“Mom!”

“Okay, okay, I’m not teasing you anymore. Philia must be tired too, I’ll send you back.”

“Um…let’s keep it a little low-key.”

“Don’t worry.”

Sphia waved her hand, and a circle of light appeared under everyone’s feet.

“Happy Light Moon Festival, Bal, Phia, Philia, and Xiao Jiu.”

“Happy Light Moon Festival.”

As soon as Bal and Phia finished speaking, the circle of light rose from under their feet, and the next second, they returned home.
