My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 126: Super Big Harvest

The hell experience for a whole week made Sylvia, Yuuki, and Ely’s ten core disciples vent all their frustration on the perpetrator of it all.

Since the Evil God wished to kill them, there was no mercy.

Due to Ely’s Mortal Field passive skill, the Evil God couldn’t muster any of his strength. Evil was suppressed beyond measure.

Before the Evil God’s soul remnant was destroyed, Ely was the one who did the finishing blow.

"Fufu, wonderful~" Zi Xuan was satisfied to see the evil vanished into particles.

"..." Ely glanced at everyone. They were feeling relieved and seemed at peace.

"Phew..." Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief while wiping her sweat. She felt incredibly peaceful after seeing the Evil God’s soul remnant disintegrate into particles.

"Is that thing really dead?" Rafaela asked questioningly. She glanced at her fellow disciples, Elder Yuuki, then at her master.

"Supposedly, that soul remnant has been destroyed for good. My heavenly ice and her dark flames are super effective. Also, Ely did the final blow. What do you think, Ely?" Yuuki was confident with her special move, but it would be best to ensure it.

Ely stared at the black flames and bits of ice on the ground. She stole the last hit to obliterate that soul remnant.

The Evil God of Artificial Hell was dead, and that soul remnant perished into particles. Everyone was almost dead in that Hell Trial, and this result was what one could expect.

Ely opened her grimoire and checked her quest list. Several missions in the top row were changed. The Evil God subjugation mission was no longer there. She then opened the log history page.

"He has been destroyed for good. The Artificial Hell Core grant its authority to me. So, it can’t revive any hell creature at will without my permission. Also, the Artificial Hell’s evil energy reduced drastically." Ely looked up. She could see almost no evil energy in the air.

"You’re right... No more suffocating evil energy in the air. Did it get purified when you used greater purification on that red gem?" Evelyn swept her hand up, and she could feel no more evil energy.

"Yes." Ely replied with a subtle nod.

"The past week has been death-defying. Without you, we might have been corrupted into mindless demons and become the Evil God’s minions, Lady Ely." Kirara breathed a sigh of relief.

"Somehow, I find it hard to believe. It was too easy for us to eliminate the Evil God’s soul remnant. He was once a powerful God..." Sylvia still felt a bit astonished.

"Can’t you feel it? You also got suppressed when you became Ely’s enemy, right? You can no longer muster any strength when you get that close to her." Yuuki closed her eyes and shook her head.

"Eh-huh, looks like you’re right. I suddenly felt vulnerable when I clashed with Ely as a confused devil. That’s it! He also got suppressed and could not muster any strength to fight back. So, that’s why it was so easy to obliterate him." Sylvia dropped her fist onto her open palm upon that realization.

However, she then thought that she received no suppression from Ely now. "But why am I okay now? You all too? Was it only aimed at enemies and evil parties?"

"That’s because master loves us. We won’t be affected by her passive skills." Jophiel spun around and returned to her master’s side.

"Mm, that is my passive skill. It won’t affect my people." Ely nodded in agreement, but she wasn’t so sure either. Her Mortal Field sometimes also affected her people, but the effective range was only two meters...

Ely was still looking at her grimoire and pressed the read more.

Clearing and conquering the Hell Trial gave her the super big harvest, as promised. Although, she cheated her way straight to the final stage.

She sacrificed a great deal of MP, SP, and VIT to subdue the Artificial Hell Core. She also used more than a hundred holy weapons and artifacts in her subspace. Nevertheless, the gains were far more than the losses.

’Thinking about it, I slayed countless evil creatures. Purifying the evil energy also gave me some stat increases. Then, it’s worth the sacrifice. Harvest commensurate with the mini world. Not to mention the treasures inside this realm. Let’s see my current status screen~’ Ely hummed in her head happily.

[Ely (???) | 0th Rank]

[HP: 417.9K/100 | MP: 408.17M/4,500 | SP: 4.03M/4,500]

[STR: 10 (Limit) | DEX: 10 (Limit) | CON: 199 | PER: 400 | ARC: 10 (Limit) | VIT: 4.01M | LCK: 100 (Max)]

"This..." Ely rubbed her eyes as she couldn’t believe what she had just seen. She was sure her stats weren’t that high before.

She had almost reached the requirements to unseal her Goddess Master. She received a truly big harvest, much more than she thought.

’My greater purification might accidentally eliminate all the evil creatures of Evil God’s creation in the Hell Trial?’ Ely asked in wonder while looking left and right. She did see countless monsters vanish into dust particles in that Hell Trial when her purification was over.

She could see nothing as far as one naked eye could see, but she caught a glimpse of a particular monster underground. That monster no longer possessed evil energy.

[Requirements to unseal the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin]

[Achieve 450K HP]

[Achieve 450M MP]

[Achieve 4.5M SP]

[Achieve 4.5M VIT]

[Achieve 450 PER]

[Achieve 250 CON]

Ely checked the requirements to unseal her Goddess Master and smiled in relief afterwards. She then closed her grimoire and stared at everyone. "Let’s return home."

It was simple, but it sounded so soothing and relieving. Everyone celebrated their victory with great joy.

Ely brought everyone out of the Artificial Hell Realm and ordered the Artificial Hell Core Key to close all the portals connected to the outside world.

The Artificial Hell Core listened to her command. It became like a private realm, and she was the one who held the key to that realm.

After that, everyone returned to Sacred Mountain via teleportation. Everyone was exhausted, and they deserved a full rest to recuperate.

Sylvia knelt before the six-winged Goddess statue for three days as promised. During those three days... Ely fell asleep and didn’t wake up once.

"What about master’s condition?" Gabriella asked in worry.

"Everything is normal, but our master won’t wake up. We also can’t touch her because of a strange force field." Rafaela looked back. Her master was still lying quietly on the bed.

The bedroom radiated a sacred and calming aura, as always. Everyone was familiar with their master’s unusual bedroom, but they couldn’t rest easy now.

"Does our master need a kiss like a fairy tale?" Jophiel rested her cheek against his hand.

"But we can’t even touch her." Remiel shook her head.

"Our master may just need a longer time to recuperate."

"Yeah, that’s the most likely one. Our master did many things to ensure everyone’s safety in that hell."

"Mhm... Our master eliminated the evil energy, and that greater purification might exhaust her greatly..."

"But she still needs to eat, drink, or anything, right? I’m worried."

"It is normal for high-rank cultivators and mages to go into seclusion for a long time without eating or drinking."

"Our master is Immortal. However, Elder Yuuki, Lady Sylvia, Sakura, and even that self-proclaimed Immortal Saintess are uneasy. Do you know why? It’s obvious, right?"

"What should we do?"

The ten Apostles were talking outside their master’s bedroom worriedly. They already recovered to their peak condition, but their master was still asleep without giving any sign of waking up.

"..." Yuuki clasped her hands and prayed. She couldn’t even touch Ely, and Ely somehow became a sleeping beauty who never woke up.

Evelyn and Kirara had left to handle some matters in the Human Realm, and everyone couldn’t focus on their tasks because Ely fell into a coma.

Ely slept after setting up the recovery formation under the bed, but sleeping for three days without even waking up made everyone worry.

"I think... Ely is undergoing an evolution. Her body constitution has changed gradually in the last three days." Sylvia commented from outside the window. She floated while carrying some food in hand.

"You still need to kneel in front of our Goddess Master statue for another two hours." Yuuki pursed her lips.

"Yes, yes... I just took some food and spirit stones. Even the great devil also needs to rest and eat." Sylvia rolled her eyes and then flew away.

She went to enjoy her breakfast and then set up a recovery formation. She knelt in front of her Goddess Master statue once again like a praying priestess.

The little magma black dragon glanced at his master from under the cherry blossom tree, then went to sleep again. This place was so nice to improve one’s cultivation.

For some reason, he discovered this sacred ground like an Immortal Domain in a dream. It was too good to be true. Unfortunately, winter had arrived, and he felt so sleepy.

"..." Sakura, the Sacred Sakura tree’s spirit, popped out from the tree trunk and sat on a tree branch. She monitored the overall situation with her keen eyes.

Everyone was well-behaved. Especially the little black dragon, the self-proclaimed Immortal Saintess ghost, and the devil girl. However, her master was still asleep...

Sakura flew over and checked the sakura flower on Ely’s head. It was still seven petals. None of them withered, so Ely never met a lethal, life-threatening situation.

"Zzz..." Zi Xuan was still sleeping on one of the Sacred Sakura tree’s branches.

Seeing that, Sakura felt somewhat dissatisfied. Among all people, that ghost girl was the laziest one. That ghost only did a few things, then lazing around like a sloth.

"Uhm..." Ely’s fingers twitched slightly, and her eyelashes fluttered a little.

Because of that, almost everyone went to Ely’s bedroom.
