My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 185: Welcome Back Mama Elysia

"Betray? Oh, come on. That word isn’t in my dictionary." Sylvia put her hands on her waist.

"Elder Sylvi, our master trusted you so much, and this is how you repay her? You faked your friendship to harm our master? Did you collude with the big evil who tried to harm our master in the sacred ground?" Michael spoke in a low tone, suppressing his anger.

"Rua!" Sakura couldn’t wait any longer. She flew past Sylvia with impressive speed, but the moment she passed the cave entrance, she got thrown away like a cannonball.

*Swoosh!* *Rumble!*

The sky turned golden, and the clouds spun like a giant vortex. At the same time, an earthquake rocked the Sacred Mountain and its surroundings.

While everyone was wondering what had happened, a divine light pillar soared into the sky from the Sacred Mountain’s summit, pierced through the spiralling clouds and seemed to penetrate beyond the sky.

---

Beneath the mountain, Ely almost reached her limit. She used far too many MP and SP in such a short time, putting an unbelievably heavy burden on her body.

She finally understood why she needed to raise her CON and physically unseal her Goddess Master.

*Crack* *Crack*

Ely’s golden purification light and unsealing spells finally touched the kaleidoscopic crystal inner layer, the last layer before she could reach her Goddess Master.

Her Goddess Master’s four-pointed star twin kaleidoscopic halo spun. The four-pointed star gem above it emitted a soft, warm, colorful light. It purified everything into pure energy, instantly dispelling the malicious, evil clouds.

Ely was stunned by the sudden divine purification. She could only prevent those evil clouds from leaking out. Yet, that twin halo eliminated those evil things with no effort.

*Crack* *Crack*

The spherical kaleidoscopic crystal cracks got wider, like an egg about to hatch.

A tender voice that soothed one’s soul then resounded softly near Ely’s ears. "Silly girl... Cease your spells now. Let me handle the rest."

"Mm..." Tears filled Ely’s eyes. She nodded in understanding and deactivated her skills and artifacts.

In a moment of breathtaking awe, the spherical kaleidoscopic crystal, a vessel of wonder and mystery, began to tremble upon its pedestal. The air seemed to vibrate with anticipation as cracks spread across its otherwise flawless surface, resembling delicate veins of light. The crystal emitted a soft, melodic chime with each fracture that resonated through the chamber.

The fractures deepened and multiplied as if responding to a cosmic force, causing the crystal to crumble gently into a cascade of shimmering fragments. The once-sealed confines of the crystal were now released, and from within emerged a radiant figure, a manifestation of divine grace and ethereal beauty.

The Divine Goddess stepped through the air from the crystal remains. Her presence was covered with an aura of otherworldly luminescence. She stood tall and regal, her form radiating a mesmerizing blend of tranquillity and power. Her eyes, deep pools of wisdom and compassion, held an understanding of existence that transcended mortal comprehension.

Long, flowing hair tresses, each strand like threads of moonlight, cascaded around her form, adding to the aura of celestial enchantment. Her robes flowed like liquid stardust, their colors shifting in harmony with the surrounding light as if woven from the fabric of the universe itself.

With a gesture of her outstretched hand, the Divine Goddess imbued the chamber with a sense of serenity, as if time itself had stilled to honor her presence. The air seemed charged with an energy that resonated with the whispers of ancient secrets and the harmonies of the cosmos.

"I’m back."

The Divine Goddess’ voice, a soft melodic symphony, echoed through the chamber as she spoke words that carried the weight of eons. At this moment, the world was graced by the presence of the divine.

The crumbled kaleidoscopic crystal reduced into a speck of sparkling dust. The colorful particles seemed to dance to welcome the Divine Goddess’ return.

However, an unexpected thing occurred. The kaleidoscopic crystal’s dust exploded and soared, creating a massive golden divine light pillar piercing the ceiling and rising high into the sky.

"Mo, mother... welcome back." Ely stuttered as she tried to suppress her tears. She was about to cry and hug her mother, but her body felt heavy and hurt.

Her consciousness wanted to force her into unconsciousness. However, she resisted because she wanted to savor and cherish this happy occasion. Her mother returned to her side... she then fell into her mother’s warm embrace.

"Silly child... You are too hasty to unseal us. Those evil curse clouds will cause no harm, but the divine crystalline sealing technique is hard to crack." The Divine Goddess caught Ely and spoke softly while stroking the head of the girl in her arms lovingly.

"It doesn’t matter, mother... It’s all worth it, but you are still seriously injured..." Ely hugged the floating Goddess with a smile, but she was more concerned about her mother’s injuries.

"Your body isn’t ready to withstand the divine seal. You’re so impatient, hmm?" The Divine Goddess stroked Ely’s hair.

She then glanced at the destroyed life-saving artifacts and the flower of life’s five withered petals on the ground and expressed apprehension. "Thank you for everything. You have done your best all these years. But, look at you now... your condition looks worse than mine. You literally have died five times in the last five minutes..."

"Mm, but I’m alive, and you’re back. It’s just the price I have to pay. I’ve done my best..." Ely closed her eyes and rested her body fully in her mother’s embrace. She had no strength left, and consciousness slowly left her.

The warm and pleasant energy flowed into her body, easing the pain and healing her internal wounds. Ely smiled faintly and hugged her mother tighter as if she didn’t want to be separated from her mother ever again.

At the same time, she could clearly feel her spirit connected to her mother. Her mind became apparent. She soon recovered all of her memories.

Her past, origin, and everything... she understood herself more deeply than ever.

"Do you wish to return?" The Divine Goddess asked with a tender voice.

"Hm-mm~ Do not leave me, Mama Elysia..." Ely enjoyed the warmth and sank into the atmosphere. She handed everything over to her mother, her Goddess Master before she lost consciousness.

Ely’s body slowly transformed into particles and shrank into an adorable shrine maiden plushie doll.

"Yeah, we won’t be separated from now on. Thank you for all your hard work. Now, please rest and recover, my precious little avatar." Elysia held the little plushie in her arms. It then went to reside within her body to recover.

She then looked up at the sky beyond the divine light pillar. The Heaven wanted to bind and involve them in something complicated. She was unsealed now, but none of the agents from Heaven came to greet her return. It was as if they were waiting for something to happen first.

"!!!" Elysia felt a bit shaken as soon as she stepped onto the ground. She felt the world was spinning, and her body was being crushed from within.

"I’m still in God Mode Fusion state. The time and space are frozen within the sealing crystal, but my body still can’t handle the Supreme Goddess’ power for long." Elysia slumped to the ground, panting while holding her chest.

The backlashes and repercussions she received after fighting an ultra-powerful Ruvoid God in the past were still so fresh.

The supreme-tier curse energy was gradually purified in recent years. She received countless benefits from there, but her body was still injured.

"God Mode Fusion, deactivate." Elysia put two fingers to her forehead.

The six wings on her back soon turned into particles as her God Mode deactivated. Her glimmering starlight long white hair gradually changed to midnight black with a subtle purplish-blue sheen.

*Clang*

"Oow..." Elysia held her head reflexively when the four-pointed star gem suddenly fell on her head.

It was a beautiful and colorful kaleidoscopic four-pointed star gem.

"Primordial Gem?" Elysia wondered, but the gem suddenly flew into the air, giving a gentle knock to her head.

"Ack!" Elysia was shocked, but she felt her body force her consciousness to rest. The gem also amplified the urge, and she fell on her back.

"Rest and recover." The gem answered curtly. It floated upwards before becoming transparent along with the four-pointed star twin halo.

"At least, let me find a safe place first..." Elysia tried to reason with the gem above her head, but drowsiness soon won her over.

A black mist billowed out from Elysia’s shadow, forming the silhouette of a woman with bright red blazing eyes.

Elysia looked at that shadow lady and muttered with only her lips’ movement. She closed her eyes and succumbed to drowsiness.

Beneath the divine light pillar that soared high into the sky, the wounded divine grace of ethereal beauty lay peacefully on the ground.

At that time, the three major realms and nineteen minor realms on the Tearobis Great Continent witnessed that phenomenon with great awe and reverence.

As moths were attracted to bright light, many people from various backgrounds immediately investigated the divine light pillar and its cause. Although, most of them thought that the Heavenly Treasures had just descended upon the world.
