Chapter 48 - Celebration
On the moon, Hestia and her attendants were there to meet Bell and the unconscious Revis. After Revis were restrained with metal braces, they started treating her wounds.
Hestia then looked at Bell with tears in her eyes. She thought she may never see Bell again if he got trapped in the timeless dimension. She quickly told Bell that Ais and everyone were safe because Enyo was trapped along with Njord, Gros and Lyd in the timeless dimension. So they could spend a few minutes together.
Hestia then called Ais "Ais, please go check on Mikoto. It is getting ugly there and Mikoto is unconscious. I will check over Bell a little before sending him back down"
Ais replied "Ok, please send him down soon because I want my hug"
Steamed, Hestia was furious that Ais 'planted the flag' on Bell, but she realized it was also an emotional moment for Ais... To get revenge, she immediately gave Bell a lots of maternal nurturing. After the nurturing, she also gave Bell an update. He actually did not level this time...
After the update, Lili was also there to see Bell. Lili was apparently watching everything also and incredibly worried. Although Lili is better, Hestia did not have the ability to return her to the surface world. Apparently Bell was the only one with the contract with Freya, so the spell could only send him back and forth.
It was absolute mayhem in the town square after the battle of divine powers. Furthermore, Wiene came down in armored wyvern form to protect her friends, scaring the towns people to death. Thus Hestia had to quickly return Bell to help Ais. After Bell returned, they were able to carry the unconscious Mikoto to a bench. Bell and Ais quickly told the townspeople that Wiene was alright... Wiene did not want to transform because she was worried that another enemy could show up.
After a few minutes, everyone in the mountain hideout called in to congratulate Bell, Ais and Wiene. During the call, Mikoto also woke up. Bell and Ais quickly congratulated her because it was her bravery and quick thinking that defeated Enyo. The four of them then flew back to the mountain hideout.
When they returned, there was a celebration waiting for them because they literally saved the world and changed history. There were a lot of hugs, cheering and drinking. Unfortunately, Welf could not take part because he was still mind zero. Since it was a celebration, Bell and Ais did add to the mood by drawing a mustache on the helpless Welf...
During the celebration, Hestia also called in. She confirmed that Enyo and Njord, as well as Lyd and Gros were trapped in the timeless dimension. Hestia also explained what happened with the explosion/implosion - that the interaction of the time bubble trap and futsunomitama caused a temporary portal into the timeless dimension. Hestia said that their big job now was to figure out a way to set everyone free. She said it would be safe if Enyo was set free because all the gods could then gang together and defeat Enyo. Though there would be still some concern about Thanatos also being set free, but the gods together can handle both Enyo and Thanatos.
So the next step was to wait for Revis to wake up. Hestia hoped that Revis may have some information regarding how Enyo was able to control the timeless dimension. Only Cronos was supposed to have that power.
That night, Bell and Ais were enjoying lap pillowing again under the clear sky next to the camp fire...
