My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 188: Supreme Goddess?

Zera landed back into a cave chamber beneath the Sacred Mountain. She then looked up as she knew several people were chasing her.

"Zera, we must treat our master’s injuries immediately. Her wounds are still as fresh as five years ago." Yuuki spoke as she was perturbed about Elysia’s well-being.

"Leave us alone." Zera replied briefly while setting up a recovery formation array in a particular corner.

"How could we just leave you alone? Please understand." Evelyn came closer.

"I’ll guard and treat her injuries. Her self-recovery will do its job to heal her fully. Leave. Don’t let anyone bother us for the time being." Zera created a void dome-like barrier around her and Elysia as she didn’t want anyone to disturb their recovery.

Sylvia extended her hand to the side as the others were about to say something. She looked at them and spoke softly. "Let’s leave. Zera will ensure Elysia’s safety and recovery. They need some quiet time."

"..." Gabriella wanted to say something, but she sighed.

The elders convinced Zera to return with their master through telepathy, but it truly pained her heart when she saw her master’s injured state. She still had no idea what happened but wanted to do something for her master.

The other disciples felt the same, but they could only grit their teeth and leave the cave chamber to fulfill Zera’s request.

"..." Zi Xuan felt complicated. She was the Immortal Saintess, and the one before her was the Void Goddess. They were both the Suppressed Immortal in the lower world, but she felt intimidated by the other party.

She wondered about how Elysia could have such a Goddess as a bodyguard.

"Even though it looks severe, her condition is not life-threatening. She will recover in one day or two. Let’s leave. Zera is Ely’s protector. She will help her to recover." Zi Xuan announced with a bit of a dilemma as she was still trying to figure out Zera’s standpoint.

"When your conditions are stable, please let us help you." Evelyn grasped her hand with anxiety and concern.

"We will check on you every two hours. Please let us know if you need anything." Yuuki nodded slightly and left the vicinity, fearing that Zera would take Elysia away again.

Everyone looked at the dome-like darkness barrier once again. The surrounding qi and spiritual energy began to be absorbed like a vacuum into Zera’s recovery formations.

Zera just replied with a subtle nod. She waited until everyone left, leaving only herself and Elysia in that crystal cave chamber.

’At least three people remain loyal. Let me trust them a bit then.’ Zera muttered in her mind, then cleaned any bloodstain from Elysia’s body. After that, she meditated beside Elysia to recover her strength.

At that moment, the sleeping Goddess glowed faintly and started automatically healing her mortal injuries.

"Elder, we need to talk privately." Gabriella confronted Sylvia, Yuuki, and Evelyn. Her juniors also supported her as they had to know more about what had just happened to their master.

"Okay, we also need to discuss a few things with you." Sylvia heaved a subtle sigh. She then summoned her blood clones and pointed at the disciples. "You five, come with us. All of you, please assist my blood clones in dealing with the approaching people."

"But.." One of the disciples voiced her reluctance as she wanted to know what had happened.

"We will share every detail later. Please assist Elder Sylvi in handling those people. We cannot allow them to come closer." Rafaela reassured her juniors.

All the disciples were then convinced. Except for the five core disciples, everyone went with Sylvia’s blood clones to help the other disciples chase away the approaching people.

Zi Xuan, Sakura, and Kirara were also there as they had to know what Yuuki, Sylvia, and Evelyn would say.

Yuuki erected a potent soundproof and layered barrier, then opened a conversation. "Where do we start? Perhaps it was from five years ago about how we were sent to this planet by the Primordial Star."

It started with the Heavenly Starfall phenomenon, the star that brought Elysia and her pantheon to Planet Quadtria. However, their Goddess Master was missing in that incident. Everyone couldn’t find their Goddess Master anywhere.

Goddess Elysia got injured from fighting against the extremely evil Supreme-tier Ruvoid God. Her grace had to seal herself because of a powerful curse.

What just happened was that Ely unsealed her divine body, their sealed Goddess Master, beneath the Sacred Mountain, and it led to the current situation.

"We understand that. You hinted at us beforehand, but that doesn’t explain how our master was severely injured. Zera, our master’s protector, even had to step in to save the day." Jophiel interrupted as she was far more concerned about how her master could get hurt.

"I’m sure you all know your master is a divine being, right? You know the Goddess statue depicts Ely’s divine form, yes? Yuuki said it already. Ely unsealed her main divine body. Her case is similar to Zi Xuan’s situation. Her Goddess form unsealed. She was heavily injured before she had to seal herself. Zera also got sealed with her." Sylvia didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"Mm..." Gabriella nodded in understanding. She and most of the disciples indeed treated their master as their Goddess.

The Goddess statue was their master’s divine glory. Their master wished to live in serenity as a mortal, but who would have thought the situation was more complicated than they expected?

"Your master, Ely, is the same person as our master, Goddess Elysia. The shrine maiden Ely is Goddess Elysia’s avatar, her fragment of soul and body manifestation." Evelyn added.

"I see... everything makes sense now. That explains her amazing abilities even though she is a mortal. We have a similar fate..." Zi Xuan muttered softly as if she was lamenting something. She felt that fate was a bit funny for bringing her this far to meet Ely.

"Ely is the Goddess Elysia, and she is the Supreme Goddess of Law? Then, who can hurt the Supreme Goddess of Law to that extent?" Kirara still tried to comprehend this astonishing new information.

"The Ruvoid God, the world devourer Supreme Evil God who wanted to devour our original world whole. Goddess Elysia fought that monster with her pantheon, including us, and saved the world. However, a powerful curse struck her in her weakened state. That’s why she had to seal herself. But then... we were sent here by a particular star somehow." Sylvia stared into the deep hole nearby. She could see Zera still meditating next to Ely in serenity.

"The Ruvoid God is so evil and dangerous... May I know when Zera will allow us to care for our master? She put our master recovering on the floor..." Jophiel muttered while staring into the hole with some dissatisfaction.

"Supreme Evil God? Are we talking about the same power rank as my comprehension?" Zi Xuan frowned. The mentioned Supreme Evil God made her worry.

"What about your cultivation base at your peak? Can you please elaborate on the power rank in the upper realm?" Michael felt a little curious. His master was obviously the strongest, but everyone was still clueless about this Immortal Saintess’s strength.

"Me? I’ve reached the True God Realm, the True Immortal. My cultivation was already at 12th Rank Mid Stage, but I’m still recovering my power, regardless of the mortal world’s suppression... Here’s the power rank chart." Zi Xuan took out a piece of gold paper.

It floated before everyone and displayed twenty cultivation ranks with several stages in between. The mortal power rank was divided into ten realms, and immortality also came with the same number.

However, the gap between stages in immortal cultivation was vast. The 19th Rank Celestial God was known as the most potent God in this universe, and nobody had yet to reach the 20th Rank Supreme God.

The battle between two Supreme Gods... Zi Xuan didn’t dare to imagine the destruction they had caused. However, Ely defeated the Supreme Evil and came out victorious with such injuries.

Zi Xuan felt Ely, or Goddess Elysia, couldn’t possibly be on the 20th Rank, even though she tried to measure it with her wildest imagination.

The mentioned Supreme Evil was probably just a super evil God, not the Supreme God Realm as her comprehension. However, the strongest one she had ever met in her life was only the 18th Rank Heavenly Moon Immortal Emperor...

Nevertheless, if Goddess Elysia was indeed in the 20th Rank, then most likely, Goddess Elysia and her servants came from another universe.

"Hmm... we’re not sure either since we’re still mortals. You don’t even know anything about the Supreme God of Law. Your knowledge is lacking, Miss Zi Xuan." Evelyn tapped her chin and then nodded at the end of her sentence.

"Cosmic God for 19th Rank and Creation God for 20th Rank? Yep, there’s no mistake. Our Goddess Master is the Supreme Goddess." Sylvia snapped her fingers as she was so sure about her statement.

"Huh!?" Zi Xuan was surprised, but she took it for granted. She had to ensure it later.

Nevertheless, she had devised a plan in mind. She would use this opportunity to gain an unparalleled ally as her backer if Goddess Elysia was the Creation Goddess and the Supreme Goddess of Law.
