My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 269: Human-like Moon Rock

*Poof*

Fortuna, Dory, and the witches were teleported to Elysia’s hotel room.

"Wow, what smooth teleportation magic." Ruri popped out of Alicia’s soul ring. She observed the surroundings and found the girls gathered around the dining table!

Then, she noticed the six boys in the next room. This room was not wrapped in a soundproof barrier, and two of the six seemed to be trying to eavesdrop, but the blond-haired boy smacked their heads and dragged them away from the wall while chewing a sandwich in his mouth.

"Welcome back. Have you had lunch?" Elysia welcomed everyone’s arrival.

"Not yet. Ely, we found some strange crystals. This world’s fate and Heaven occasionally pay attention to us and lead us to something." Fortuna walked over to Elysia and sat down in the nearest empty chair.

"Yeah... if that’s not a problem, then it’s a mystery. They took advantage of us. The upper realm trouble remains banished to the lower realm for a deep reason." Elysia nodded in understanding but didn’t want to discuss that now because it was time to have lunch together.

Their fluffy little friends have also returned to their human form, ready to eat lunch.

Fortuna didn’t want to ruin the mood. Not to mention, the mysterious crystals also give some ominous feeling. It would need to be discussed and researched further after lunch.

She then took part in lunch together. Unfortunately, only half were the heavenly dishes cooked by Elysia and Miko. Some of the others were typical food of the Breacasian Empire.

"Mama, shall we continue our city tour?" After a peaceful and enjoyable lunch, Miko tugged the hem of her mama’s sleeve.

"Hmm~ I’ll join you at dusk, sweetie. But Dory and our witch friends might really need this tour." Elysia gave Miko a head pat.

"Ah, mm, okay. We will visit the Church of Insight at dusk, go around the city at night, visit the night auction, and more~" Miko initially pouted, but she nodded in understanding. Her mama had to do something else right now.

"Yeah, sure." Elysia nodded with a tender smile.

Miko gave her mama a warm hug, and she received a kiss on the forehead. She then approached Dory, Alicia, and the witches. "Are you willing to walk around the city with us for a moment? We are in the capital city of the Breacasian Empire, a place where humans have legalized slavery. This world has the good and the bad. We want you to see them."

"!!!"

Dory and the witches received the same shock, but the reasons were vastly different. Dory was traumatized and hated slavery, while the witches were reluctant to have anything to do with humans.

"Please give it a try. It’s just a city tour for sightseeing. Don’t let hatred swallow you." Elysia gently reminded the traumatized girls of something crucial.

It was just sightseeing... Dory, Alicia, and the witches soon agreed with Miko’s invitation. They bowed slightly to Elysia before leaving to follow Miko.

Jophiel was still taken aback because an astonishing realization came to her mind about the familial love between her master and Goddess Master. If they were one person, they took the sayings about ’loving yourself’ and ’treating yourself like someone you love.’ to the next level. Or perhaps it should be ’how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you’?

"Jophi-chan, let’s go." Miko called out in amusement. She, Dory, and the witches were about to leave, but her lovely disciple was still dreamily staring at her mama.

"Oh, ah!?" Jophiel gasped slightly in surprise. She returned from her wild train of thought and immediately followed her master. However, she bowed respectfully to her Goddess Master and everyone in the room before leaving.

"Please be careful, Miko. You are so tender and lovely, and those humans might be tempted to kidnap you~" Lynn waved her hand jokingly.

"Hmm~ I will go with six knights, seven great witches, Lady Dory, and Jophi-chan. Those kidnappers should be afraid of us." Miko tapped her chin and smiled brightly.

She then waved to her mama and everyone before excusing herself. She left the room with everyone.

After everyone left, including the six knights in the next room, Fortuna raised the previous topic about the mysterious crystals. She opened a small bag containing three types of fist-sized dark ball-like crystals and placed them on the table.

"We got three types of mysterious crystals." Fortuna asked everyone’s opinion, especially Elysia.

"This one is the darkest and emits the thickest ominous aura."

"The one in the middle is kind of pale purple, which tells us it’s very poisonous?"

"This one... doesn’t it look like a fist-sized meteoroid monster? Look at this line pattern. It resembles a closed mouth."

The girls began to inspect the three mysterious crystals. They tried to appraise and scan those things further but couldn’t find anything meaningful with their eye abilities.

"Hm?" Elysia used her Sacred Vision and advanced perception. And then, she caught a subtle movement in the most ominous, mysterious crystals.

’Ely, you saw it clearly, right? There’s something inside that crystal- No, that mysterious crystal ball sealed an unknown creature inside, and they have a thick, ominous aura!’ Elena tried to make her point clear.

’But, why does the Heaven direct these things to us using fate through Fortuna? This isn’t the egg of some mysterious ancient creature, right?’ Elysia tried to touch it and feel it.

’It could be an egg, but it’s hazardous. The world sealed it eons ago, and those crystal shells are not natural, but the seal made by a powerful someone.’ Elena felt uneasy all of a sudden. She immediately came out of the Elysian Realm to destroy those mysterious crystals.

"Calm down. I will ask the He-Dao regarding these matters." Elysia grabbed Elena’s hand.

"What did you see, Ely?" Fortuna made a steeple of her fingers with curiosity. She knew it... Elysia’s eye abilities could discover the truth!

However, Elena suddenly came out, and something obviously happened.

"This is a sealed egg, and this one... let’s say it’s a dead egg that has completely crystallized. As for this one, the sealed curse ball?" Elysia inspected the other mysterious crystals.

"Eggs and a curse ball?"

"Oh, wow!"

"That explains the origin of its ominous feeling."

"Please don’t tell me this is a cursed monster egg."

"Welp!"

The girls immediately took a safe distance from those fist-sized, mysterious crystal balls. Nell and Yae, who were just about to float close to those crystals, directly flew away in fright.

"Fortuna, share your information with our Elysium Channel." Elena heaved a subtle sigh.

"Alright." Fortuna immediately shared all information and details regarding those mysterious crystals with all members of the Elysium Channel.

"Your team collected at least six hundred of these mysterious crystals in just a few hours? There are three types, and they come from two different hidden forbidden places. What’s going on? We’ll find out the truth soon." Elysia summoned her Sacred Heaven Grimoire to ask the more knowledgeable expert first.

"Err, how about we pick up those mysterious crystals first? They can’t be stored in any storage magic item, and we put them in several big bags. I wrapped my team floating boat with a layered protective barrier in a safe zone near here." Fortuna raised her hand. She felt that those mysterious crystals needed to be secured as soon as possible.

"Alright, let’s go. Those things are dangerous if left unattended." Nell understood the urgency.

Elysia and Elena also nodded, and then everyone teleported away.

At the same time, Xentia sent an emergency signal and reported Amy’s encounter on the twin red moons to Elysia.

---

A few minutes before Xentia sent an emergency signal, Amy was still walking around on the moon, looking for the mysterious and suspicious presence that was bothering her mind.

One of the Goddesses also noticed an oddity on the moon three days ago, and she accidentally sensed the strangeness a few hours ago. She had to discover the truth immediately, or she couldn’t sleep well!

"Ugh, there are no living creatures or other oddities? I should have accepted Goddess Ely’s help before. Why did I refuse her offer to scan the moon?" Amy grumbled in annoyance because she still hadn’t found anything.

She had used her 16th Rank eye abilities to scan the moon, but she still couldn’t find the source of the strangeness.

"Xentia, what about your scan results?" Amy pressed the button on her intercom and looked up at the super mother spaceship ES Nirvana above her head.

"We didn’t find any foreign entities on the moon. However, many fossil remains are buried more than twenty meters underground. Eh, wait." Xentia responds with the data but is shocked by one of the footage pointing to Amy.

"What’s that?" Amy raised her eyebrows. She kept walking while checking her surroundings and waiting for Xentia’s continuation. She already knew it, but what she wanted to know wasn’t that.

"Agent Amy, stop walking. Look at a hidden cave-like hole two hundred meters before you, thirteen degrees to the right. Don’t you see the rock is odd? It looks like a fossilized rock that somehow resembles a curled-up human." Xentia reported her findings.

"Hmm, yes. I can see it. That thing seems to want to look small, lifeless, and undetectable. It’s very sus because I can’t detect it as anything other than moon rock. It should be at least a fossil, right? Also, why is it on the surface?" Amy approached the mentioned suspicious rock.

"A moon rock would not materialize in a shape like this around the surface. If you are a person with flawless disguise, try again by at least burying yourself twenty meters underground. Pretending to be dead is not enough." Amy smirked.

She felt slightly annoyed because this might be the source of the previous strangeness, but that didn’t guarantee it was the cause.

It was really like a genuine moon rock. Regardless, she exerted her power to her feet and kicked the rock’s lower half.

*Boom!* *Crack!*

The suspicious human-like moon rock was blown dozens of meters away. The rock was cracked, and it splurted out of fresh blood.

The moon rock soon became alive and landed safely, filled with fury. However, the human-like rock immediately slumped to the ground while holding his crotch and butt. "Grggh! You are so cruel, btch!"
