Chapter 85: Clean Up.
(Celia’s POV)
I am fully aware that the Creator has hidden my memories. Although I do not know why, I seemed to have agreed to it. If I agreed, then there is no reason to worry, or think about what was hidden. After all, my main goal at the moment is finding my family.
Celia: “About my dimension… is it actually saveable?” I ask.
Creator: “No. Or rather, not in the way that you think.” She denied.
Celia: “…”
Creator: “Once you save your family, I will then start the process of fixing it. This requires me to not only mend the entire dimension but also make new bodies for every soul. Right now, I am focusing my power on suspending your family in different dimensions. So I don’t have the power to spare to save it at the moment.” She explained.
Celia: “Any estimate of how long that will take?” I ask.
Creator: “Around… probably 10 to fifty years.” She answered.
Celia: “…”
Yona has been unresponsive for a while, but last month, she finally got better. Currently, we were on our way to go see Victoria and the rest. Once we say our goodbyes, then we will be leaving this dimension.
Yona: “Celia… who else have you saved?” She asked, ignoring the Creator’s presence.
Celia: “So far? Just you.” I reply.
Yona: “Just…Just me? I’ve made you waste all this time…” She said with a remorseful tone.
Celia: “It doesn’t matter, Yona. Each person’s dimension is currently frozen by the Creator. So it’s not like we’re keeping the rest waiting. It doesn’t matter if I have to spend the next hundred years saving everyone. I will save them, and they, including you, should not feel like I did some great deed that can never be repaid.” I say with a warm tone.
Yona: “I…I understand, Celia. I know that I am currently not the strong mother that you’ve always known, but I swear that I will get better, eventually.” She said with a confident tone.
Celia: “You can take your time, Yona. I will always be here for you, do not worry.” I say with a smile.
Luckily, Yona was able to teleport back to the capital city. Though it was only near it, not actually in it. Instead, we ended up at that destroyed town. I was riding on that spirit horse once again, sitting behind Yona. As for the Creator, she was just flying alongside us. Damn, I miss being able to fly…
Hours Later.
Since Yona wasn’t hiding her horse as a normal one, it only took us a few hours to make it to the capital city. At the front gate, Penni was waiting for us.
Penni: “Celia… it has been a while. It is odd to see you grown up.” She said with a smile.
Celia: “My original body is far more mature and attractive, I assure you.” I say with a giggle.
I jumped off the horse, and I then chatted with Penni for a bit. Then Yona sent her horse away, and we three got into a carriage that Penni brought to pick us up. As for the Creator, she vanished once more a while ago.

Unlike before, we were guided to the castle, and not Victoria’s estate. Once there, it was sorta odd… Everyone treated me like a princess. This feeling was odd, as it has been a while since I was treated like this. I haven’t been treated like a princess ever since I had to undergo those exams and tests.
Victoria: “Oh? So, my dear daughter, you have finally decided to bless us with your presence… Does that mean that you two will be leaving soon?” She asked.
Currently, I was sitting down on a couch with Yona next to me. Selen, Clarisa, and Victoria were all sitting on the opposite couch.
Celia: “Yes, we’re here to say our goodbyes. Please forgive me for taking so long. Once Yona regained her memories, it put her in a very bad state of mind.” I reply.
Victoria: “I’d imagine as such, so there is no worry. I was just joking.” She replied.
Yona: “As for my continent, I will give you full control over it, Victoria. Celia did give you a System, so it is only a matter of time before you can evolve into a Demon Lordess.” She said with a serious tone.
Clarisa: “And to think that we almost went to war to take your land…” She said with a groan.
Selen: “That’s true. I am very glad that Celia spoke to us that day.” She said with a laugh.
Penni: “Yeah, it would have been a very drawn out war if it wasn’t for Celia.” She agreed.
These four were part of my family, with Victoria being another mother of mine. As such, it was obvious that we had a lot to talk about. The entire day, all we did was talk and chat. Even Yona got in on the conversation. Though the reason she did, was because the conversation turn to being about praising me, or saying how cute I am…
The Next Day.
Victoria: “Well… I guess it is time to say goodbye.” She said with a sad tone.
Celia: “Don’t worry, Mom. I will come back to see you all once I save the rest of my family.” I say, while giving her a hug.
I said my goodbyes to the others and then held Yona’s hand. The Creator was there, and once we were ready, she snapped her fingers. After the flash of light went away, we were back in our destroyed dimension once more. Now that I am back, I can talk to Ruina again!
Celia: “Ruina!” I exclaim in my head.
Celia: “…”
Where is she?…
Celia: “Hey, where is Ruina? She isn’t responding at all…” I ask the Creator.
Creator: “She can’t respond, I put her in a different dimension. She is just as much your family as the others. Ah, I gave her a new body as well.” She answered.
Celia: “…”
Creator: “As you will not be able to recognize her, I am sure that it will be a challenge to find Ruina. As such, she will be the last one that you save.” She explained.
Looking around, I was now in my original body. And so was Yona. It is… odd to feel this powerful once more. I am sad about Ruina, but I really, really need to check out my Status. After all, I didn’t get the chance to do so last time. Ah, I am excited!!!

Celia: “…”
What the fuck?…
Creator: “Oh, you are checking out your Status. Forgive me, but none of your levels can be carried over from the bodies in those dimensions.” She informed.
Fucking really?… I got this strong, just from doing all that stuff while I was in Heaven? Sure, I still need many, many more levels before I evolve once more. But does that matter? I am so damn strong at the moment…
Celia: “I have a lot of SIP’s to spend…” I say with a shocked tone.
Creator: “Don’t spend them.” She said quickly.
Celia: “Huh? Why not?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.
Creator: “Your next evolution will be turning into a Creator like me. Even if you want to spend them on your Stats, or maybe you have Skills or Upgrades available. You should still wait until your next evolution to spend them.” She replied.
Celia: “Explain, please?” I plead.
Creator: “The Skills and Upgrades that you get access to when you’re a Creator are far more valuable than anything else. Not to mention, even the most basic one, like shaping the terrain, will cost well over 10,000 SIP’s.” She explained.
Celia: “…”
As this was a barren wasteland at the moment, the Creator made a house for Yona to live in. She said that it will provide food and entertainment, and will last until the dimension is restored. As for now, I went into the house, and I went straight to sleep. Ah, I am so tired…
