My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 293: Unknown Void

"I have sealed his cultivation, but his punishment needs to wait for later." Vanessa wiped her hands after throwing the sealed giant demon into her sealed storage pouch.

"Good job, everyone. Then, we need to handle the other three locations." Evelyn looked up at the sky in the distance.

"The other groups will handle them. We will help if needed, but we need to quickly return to the Sacred Mountain now. Lady Luna’s previous warning worries me." Ella grasped her head in worry.

"Saintess Feng Mingyue and Blood Empress Feng Xue are currently in the Sacred Mountain’s area. Their father causes so much chaos just for them, and he will come personally..." Gabriella tapped her chin and looked behind her. The Sacred Mountain region was only slightly affected by the storms compared to the other areas.

"Yeah... his methods are sinister. He wants to play it safe, but he has already greatly offended us. He deliberately staged such a scene so it wouldn’t lead to him. If it weren’t for Lady Luna’s divination, we wouldn’t know the mastermind was him." Azrael grumbled in annoyance.

"Cherub, Yuuki, and Lixue are indirectly helping us handle the situation. They are currently heading to the last storm in the south. We can return now." Vanessa checked the Elysium Group Chat and informed everyone.

"Don’t they need our help?" Gabriella raised her hand for attention.

She was wondering how the elders communicated with each other so easily and practically. It was one of the main group’s privileges, and she would be there soon!

"Three 10th Rank experts. They are far more than enough to beat the offender to a pulp. I’m more worried about the northwest. Gio always causes supermassive destruction if he needs to fight seriously." Evelyn heaved a subtle sigh as she stared at the fierce storm in the northwest.

"What about the new dragon? He’s there, but Lixue... may I ask what kind of dragon he is?" Azrael was intrigued.

"He is a treasure-loving ice dragon. Let’s return now. I have a foreboding that something unexpected beyond Lady Luna’s predictions will happen." Ella grasped her hands on her upper chest, looking worriedly at the Sacred Sakura region in the distance.

Everyone immediately went back to the Sacred Mountain.

*Rumble!*

The lightning grew weaker, and the storm subsided slightly, but Luna’s anxiety continued to grow.

"Mom, what are you worried about? Haven’t you predicted the future possibilities?" Lynn was also worried when she saw her mother.

"I can’t predict everything, dear. These are just some situations. The other party is a divine soul with many allies, but everything will be fine." Luna smiled in reply.

She disguised her worry very well because a temporary leader shouldn’t look worried. However, her daughter could still discover it easily.

Yusagi approached like an agile white bunny. She knelt in front of Luna to report the situation. "Milady, Feng Xue has returned. She is currently heading to the mointainfoot’s rest area to meet Feng Mingyue."

"Alright. It’s time for me to move then." Luna stared at one storm center to the south, then two to the north.

The south storm was almost over as the last cause was being handled by Yuuki, Cherub, and Lixue. Sylvia and Noir took the lead and brought a group to the northeast. Gio, Yae, and Morfina went to the northwest to handle the abnormal cause of the storm.

As for the rest, they remained in the Sacred Sakura area to guard the last defense. Those who were on a mission also returned immediately due to the urgent notice of emergency. Almost everyone guarded the borders from invaders and offenders.

After waiting for several seconds, Luna descended the Sacred Mountain accompanied by her daughter and confidante.

In the midst of the chaotic situation out there, Elysia had just entered the divine enlightenment and transformation. Her body remained inside the cocoon within the kaleidoscopic spherical crystal. Yet, her consciousness went on an unprecedented journey toward the unknown.

She arrived at a mysterious destination. It was a void, the emptiness with nothing but the absolute darkness.

Elysia opened her mouth, but her voice didn’t come out. She then spoke in her mind. ’Where am I?’

A generic reply upon confusion, but she knew nobody could answer her. She was previously overseeing the outside situation from the sky. Nevertheless, she had to enter the divine enlightenment by partially cutting off her connection with the outside world.

The internal soul realm was her guess because her spiritual journey should have gone to the deeper part of her Soul Realm.

Her advanced perception and eye abilities assisted her in discovering the truth. The first thing she realized was she was naked. Her divine light covered her private parts, but it remained an embarrassing situation.

"..." Elysia reflexively covered her breasts with her arms and closed her legs. She used her authority over the darkness, and the dark fabric immediately covered her body like a shadow dress.

She was in the middle of unknown darkness, and she didn’t dare to use the light because it would be like a beacon in the middle of unknown darkness that might invite things she didn’t wish to happen.

Even so, it wouldn’t bring her anywhere as she had to figure out her current situation. Thus, she slowly went to explore the unknown void.

After the uncountable moments that felt like an eternity, Elysia stopped exploring. She floated quietly in a meditation position, looking at the emptiness, and tried to figure out the situation, and she would start from within.

However, the twelve-winged heavenly crest on the back of her left hand suddenly radiated an extremely bright golden divine light.

"!!!" Elysia was shocked to her core. She tried her best to suppress the divine seal to prevent the one that was about to come out, but a tiny light blob slipped out between her fingers.

The tiny light blob manifested into a little golden eyeball. It looked around and stared at Elysia. ’Well, well... we meet again, Elysia.’

’H-Hi, Sera... it’s been a while, is it?’ Elysia felt a bit nervous, knowing the little thing before her was the heavenly creature far above the divine measure from the unknown, boundless realm. The creature above God-tier existence!

’You have no permission to name me. Hmm, why are you nervous? Are you afraid? That wasn’t like you when we met. Also, where are we?’ Sera floated around Elysia for a quick inspection.

By the time she found no strangeness, she inspected her surroundings once again. However, she realized the heavenly crest on Elysia’s left hand had the broken divine seal’s remains. ’No wonder you seem to have disappeared in recent times. Not even the universe can prevent me. I have marked you, the first being who killed me.’

’Sigh, you can revive many times. I was only lucky to kill you once. You’re super powerful, but do you want to become a stalker now?’ Elysia sighed. She couldn’t open the status screen here, but she needed to remain calm in facing this heavenly creature.

’Who you really are is one that intrigues me.’ Sera landed on Elysia’s head.

She determined a direction, then shot like a comet and explored the void at light speed. However, she reached nothing, and she could no longer find Elysia anywhere.

She searched and kept searching, but she was lost in the absolute emptiness, the realm without boundaries, just like her home space, but devoid of anything. However, she couldn’t use most of her heavenly powers here. It was only her little manifestation with tiny divine power.

After a few moments of trying to find direction, Sera self-destructed her manifestation. And then, she emerged as a new golden eyeball from the heavenly crest on the back of Elysia’s left hand.

’Are you satisfied with your tour? I don’t know exactly where we are either, but I’m going to meditate now.’ Elysia opened one eye slightly and closed it again.

’Oh, go ahead then. I’ll extract something out.’ Sera considered something and went to her heavenly crest.

She sucked Elysia’s divine power gently and carefully, without Elysia’s knowledge.

Once she felt enough, she peered at the little information that crossed Elysia’s mind to update her information about what happened to Elysia after they killed the Great Ruvoid God.

She was the one dealing the finishing blow. Yet, she threw the curses for Elysia’s advantage because it could be considered a reward if one knew how to use it. However, Elysia went into hibernation within the divine crystal seal because of the potent heavenly curses.

She also discovered something about the other creatures under Elysia’s banner, the Elysium, and their relationship to Elysia’s divine spirit.

’Don’t you know they are using you for their personal benefit? Why let those insects stick to you?’ Sera couldn’t help but comment.

’I beg to differ. They are my precious family, not insects. It is life and mutual exchange. When you benefit the others, and the others bring the benefit to you, a relationship will be formed. The bond becomes stronger over time, and it will not always be about benefits.’ Elysia remained calm in answering as she already knew it long ago.

’This weird concept about the mortal and human... why do you pretend to be human even though you’re not one? The family is just a shelter, and the bond is simply a thin thread. Once you are gone from their life, they will also leave you, abandoning their beliefs. Some will leave everything to be with you, though.’ Sera sucked in Elysia’s divine energy again so she could use more of her true body’s heavenly power in her little manifestation.

’Look at you, do you want to suck me dry?’ Elysia noticed Sera’s plan. Thus, she immediately caught the golden eyeball with a restraint technique.

’Why can you still use magic in this unknown realm like it was nothing? You don’t emit any energy.’ Sera couldn’t help but wonder.

’Who knows.’ Elysia opened her vision wide and clear. She replied with a brilliant smile after she realized something crucial about her authority over this unknown void.
