My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 207: Searching for a Missing Member

’What!? We need to seal it now!’

’Ely is not allowed to use her divine power outside yet. We need to be well-prepared before it.’

’Then, what do we need to do with that soul mark? That heavenly entity marked us!’

’Calm yourself down. It wasn’t the first time this had happened. This soul mark is in its dormant state and does not have any malice. It’s safe to say that Sera is interested in our Ely.’

’And that is the very reason that makes me feel uneasy.’

The Goddess sisters had their own worries, but the Goddess of Life had her own views on the twelve-winged heavenly soul mark.

’Yeah, I guess... this soul mark differs from the previous one. Let’s seal it for now.’ Elysia covered her left hand, then used her skill for one second to seal the soul mark.

They could discover the truth when she was fully recovered. Nobody was ready if the suspected 10th dimension being or beyond would greet them.

’You use your skill, and we need to work extra this afternoon. Let’s take a nap and repair the damage.’ Elena heaved a subtle sigh.

"Fwah..." Elysia gently rubbed her eyes. She felt tired from reading even though it was only a few pages regarding the Divine World.

"Sleepy?" Zera looked down and asked in a soft tone.

"Mm." Elysia snuggled up, using Yuuki’s fluffy tail as her blanket and Zera’s plump breast as her pillow.

"Understood." Zera nodded in understanding, then floated to the humble abode.

However, she grasped Yuuki’s hand and dragged this nine-tailed snow fox. She also brought the three little dragons but left them at the house’s entrance. "Guard the house. Don’t let anyone come in to disturb her sleep."

"???" Yuuki was taken aback. She got dragged to the bedroom, and Zera suddenly threw her onto the bed.

Zera then gently put the sleepy Elysia on the bed and accompanied Elysia until their baby master fell asleep.

"..." Yuuki didn’t know what Zera wanted from her. She looked at Zera’s deep red eyes questioningly.

Truthfully, she was curious about why Zera allowed her to stay close to the sleeping Elysia, even though previously, Zera would never let anyone come closer while their master was asleep.

She then looked at her sleeping master. Her smol master grasped her fluffy tail and used it as a blanket. It was definitely the reason.

"Yuuki, I need to find someone and perhaps destroy something. I’ll be back in ten minutes. In the meantime, ensure her safety, even though it will cost your life." Zera got up from the bed, holding Celestia in her hand.

"Huh? Our master hasn’t given you any instructions, right?" Yuuki widened her eyes.

"Not yet, but I want to handle the matter as soon as possible so she won’t worry. That pink mermaid’s status is yellow... Her faith is fake, and she isn’t good. I will judge her with my own judgment." Zera turned around and walked away, penetrating into thin air and disappearing into the void.

"You..." Yuuki reached out her hand as if trying to stop Zera, but she was too late. Zera had already entered the void and disappeared.

Therefore, she immediately opened the Elysium Group Chat and notified Luna regarding Zera’s arrival.

Yuuki: [Luna, Zera is heading to your location. Please convince and stop her because I suspect she will execute Dory if she is unsatisfied!]

Luna: [Huh? We are currently in the underwater world and are- Oh wait, she’s here!]

"Oh, Goodness... Master, what do I need to do? Zera suddenly left without instructions, but she just listened to your orders. Was that all your arrangement?" Yuuki put her hand to her forehead, looking at her master in confusion.

’I haven’t given any orders. That might be related to the reinforcement I promised? Zera knows what she is doing. Let her do what she thinks is right. She also wants to get praise, you see. She is such a sweet girl.’ Elysia snuggled closer to Yuuki for warmth and sent her telepathy directly to Yuuki’s mind.

’I’m afraid it’s only you who thinks that way, master...’ Yuuki pouted.

’Just believe her. She will help Dory out of trouble incredibly quickly.’ Elysia opened her eyes slightly, gently stroked Yuuki’s face, and fell asleep again.

Yuuki purred a little. She then realized something important. She was alone with her master now. She had her master all for herself and could cuddle with her smol master to her heart’s desire.

Thus, she used her opportunity to cuddle her master in her embrace with tender affection. It was such a happy occasion. Her master was super adorable, but she had to control her excitement to not hurt her smol master.

Meanwhile, Zera had just stepped out of the void at Luna’s location. She looked left and right, and found it was the deep sea world, far below the water’s surface.

The water pressure might be deadly for weak terrestrial creatures. Nevertheless, she didn’t need air to breathe and didn’t need bubble-like precautions like Luna’s group did.

"You haven’t found her yet?" Zera asked the nearby shocked soul fox.

"Greetings, Lady Zera. We are still investigating, but we can barely detect her, and her information is difficult to obtain. We are currently tracking the mermaids’ whereabouts in Catalora City. I did a little fortune-telling, and she is likely still there." Luna grasped her fist to greet in respect.

Lynn and Yusagi also gave respectful greetings, but the others were astonished as to why their leader suddenly paid her respect to the newly arrived person. This evil-looking lady came out of thin air, and it shocked them.

"Catalora City is the only clue? It’s been about a day since you started this investigation, and you haven’t gotten any meaningful information. You’re so slow." Zera squinted her eyes, then turned around, disappearing into the void.

"Wait, please wait... yes, you can do everything much easier since you mastered the void law..." Luna tried to stop Zera, but Zera was already gone.

"My lady, who is the person who just came? Is it your friend?" Lord Leviathan asked as he wanted to know the Soul Fox Deity’s secret.

"She is the Chaos Goddess of Destruction. Beware of her. She usually solves everything with destruction. Why did our master send her here?" Luna reminded her people. She then looked at her daughter and aide, but they were as clueless as her.

"!!!" Lord Leviathan and the experts under Luna’s banner widened their eyes in shock.

"Err, Yuuki just replied. Zera did it of her own accord because Dory caused our master to worry, and she didn’t want it to continue. Let’s follow her now, mother." Lynn checked the Elysium Group Chat.

"Lady Zera deliberately reveals her presence aura to us so we can follow her." Yusagi stared at the underwater city ahead.

"Then, let’s go." Luna nodded in agreement.

*Boom!*

The Sea Palace suddenly exploded, and Luna slapped her forehead at that sight. She just said it, and Zera truly solved almost anything with violence.

"Lord Leviathan, it will become more chaotic. We need your help. Stay hidden here and wait for our instructions." Luna gave her instructions before taking her group to Catalora City.

"..." Lord Leviathan remained silent. He received the opportunity to escape, but he chose not to do that because the risk of offending the Soul Fox Deity was so significant, especially with the arrival of a God-level being who emerged from thin air.

Therefore, he hid his aura in a trough near that city, observing what would happen next.

Zera slipped into the Sea Palace without a hitch. She abducted the nearby lobster guard and extracted information directly from his mind.

Anything related to mermaids coming into the light. She threw away the absentminded lobster guard and went to the nearby room with many mermaids.

However, a mighty powerhouse suddenly confronted her momentarily after she stepped out of the void.

"My apologies, esteemed guest. However, that is not a good way to visit. May I know your aim towards our Catalora Sea Palace?" The elderly catfish grasped his fist.

He was highly pressured because he could barely measure this intruder’s strength, but his soul trembled as if in extreme fear just by standing before her.

"!!!" The nearby guards saluted the elderly catfish, but they were still incredibly shocked because an intruder suddenly appeared near them, forcing their ancestor to intervene to stop her.

"I’m looking for someone. She is a pink mermaid. Hand over her to me now, old fish." Zera extended her hand.

"A pink mermaid? We have some good mermaids. If you desire them, we can give them to you at a reasonable exchange rate..." The elderly catfish signaled the guards to escort them inside.

The guard opened the majestic door, and a magnificent room filled with pearl decorations and various beautiful sparkling deep sea gems came into view, giving the impression of majesty and serenity.

Zera focused on a particular room behind the wall because she faintly sensed the Elysium member’s subtle aura from there.

She teleported to the mentioned wall and made a hole with a single touch. At that time, she discovered an indecent activity of a crowned fat catfish and several mermaids without fishtails.

All the mermaids lay limp on the floor. Only one was still conscious, crushed by the crowned fat catfish on the bed. However, no pink mermaid was found.

The only pink object she could detect was the pink fishtail displayed in a frame on the wall.

It was one of many fishtails, but she was confident the familiar faint aura came from there. Dory’s fish tail was most likely cut off by this crowned fat catfish before it was treated as decoration.

"Wait, who are you? How did you manage to infiltrate my palace!? Guard!!!" The crowned fat catfish exclaimed in surprise when he noticed a large circular hole in the wall with an intruder on the other side of the room.

Zera made her move, catching the crowned fat catfish and binding him with the darkness chain. Her sudden movement caused the elderly catfish to try to stop her, but she was way too fast.

*Boom!*

Zera’s suppressed divine law deflected the elderly catfish’s attack passively, causing an explosion that vaporized the room’s ceiling.

"Release him now, intruder! If you dare hurt him, the entire Catalora Sea Palace will have a blood feud with you, even if our lives are at stake." The elderly catfish brandished his stone cane at the intruder.

"You may try, but nothing shall prevail." Zera snorted sarcastically.

She moved her finger, and the pink fishtail flew into her hand. "Tell me, where is the pink mermaid, the owner of this fishtail? You only have one chance."
