My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 315: Future Event Schedule

"I have collected the compensation for our loss." Zera emerged from the void with a bloated storage pouch in hand.

"Mm, well done, Zera. Miko, this is compensation for Sacred Sakura for the damage caused by that twisted sovereign. The Blood Moon Pavilion will give more if they want to repair our alliance." Elysia handed over the bloated storage pouch to Miko.

"E-eh?" Miko received it with astonishment. She didn’t expect her mama would order Zera to collect the compensation during the previous chaos.

"Take it. We need it to nurture Sacred Sakura’s disciples. Zera takes proper compensation for what that sovereign damaged, not loot his treasury clean." Elysia gave Zera and Miko a head pat.

"Mm, alright." Miko nodded in understanding.

Zera spoke nothing, but she enjoyed her reward.

"Ely, My Master Ely~" Sylvia floated closer and landed on her knees right before Elysia. She sat on the floor and rested her head on Elysia’s lap, acting slightly spoiled.

"What is it, Sylvi?" Elysia gave Sylvia a head pat as well.

"Are we going to explore that Heavenly Rebel’s secret realm? Can you tell us our future event schedule?" Sylvia looked up, enjoying Elysia’s divine fragrance and touch.

"Sniffing around like that... do you want to be a pet?" Yuuki muttered under her breath at Sylvia’s behavior. However, she looked at her master as she wanted to know their future event schedule.

"Hmm, there’s a slight change here, but the end result isn’t that different. Megami has scanned that secret realm almost entirely, but she still hasn’t found the realm core. It got so scared by her divine aura. That secret realm remains unknown because of that, but the danger level has dropped a lot."

Elysia showed the analysis that her clone avatar carried out. There were some super dangerous threats, but as long as the challenger could escape, there was no problem because those threats couldn’t leave their territory.

"I see... then the requirements need to be changed slightly. Only those with capabilities beyond 7th Rank must have an escape and disguise technique." Lifa couldn’t help but comment.

"Yes, that’s necessary. Miko, when everyone is done with their cookie meditation, please tell them to bring as much pure salt as possible. It may help them escape the dangers in the unknown secret realm." Elysia nodded in agreement.

"Pure salt? Are the threats in this secret realm afraid of salt?" Miko tilted her head, wondering curiously.

"Most of them will be fooled by a pure salt attack. Megami, please demonstrate it." Elysia opened a virtual screen and connected it to Megami’s vision.

"Affirmative." Megami nodded in understanding and flew down, approaching the nearby overlord. She challenged that monster but took a handful of pure salt and threw it into the air.

The monster was irritated and about to attack, but it was shocked. It immediately took a safe distance, avoiding the pure salt.

"Hmm, interesting. They’re afraid of salt..." Fortuna tapped her cheek with a faint smile on her face.

"Not all, but yes. Megami, come back now. You have done a perfect job." Elysia gave her command. She took out a black prism and forcefully opened the unknown secret’s realm portal.

*Poof*

The spiraling darkness manifested, and a figure flew out of it. Megami emerged from the unknown secret realm portal, but she was shrouded in an aura of darkness.

"Sister~" Miko missed her elder sister very much. She was about to hug Megami, but Elena held her.

"Wait, she’s purifying the corrosion from the monsters she just exterminated. Give her a few seconds." Elena explained a little when Miko looked at her questioningly.

"..." Megami put her hands together, purifying the high-intensity corrosion covering her body.

She killed several monsters some time ago because they were too dangerous to leave alive. The corrosion couldn’t harm her while her divine aura was active. Yet, it continued to follow her everywhere and might hurt others in the outside world.

After a few seconds, the dark corrosion vanished, and Megami could finally deactivate her divine aura.

"Congratulations. You have ascended to the 13th Rank avatar, Megami." Elysia praised her clone avatar with pleasure. It was a little strange because Megami was her clone avatar, different from Miko, and it was like praising herself.

"Mm..." Miko nodded and bowed slightly.

"Hehe, sister. It’s been a while. Do you miss me? Huhu, you will go to the Divine World tomorrow. I will miss you very much. So, you must play with me all day until tomorrow." Miko hugged Megami and buried her face in the heavenly cushion.

"Hm." Megami nodded and gave Miko a head pat.

"Then, this is our future schedule." Elysia showed everyone the newly updated event schedule.

"Hm?" Sylvia was the first to check out the list because she was the closest one to Elysia.

"E-eh? Will we visit Earth first? Vrelenia comes after. That’s because of the unknown secret realm, huh..." Evelyn blinked her eyes in surprise.

"So, we will visit Earth after the unknown secret realm exploration. After that, Vrelenia and then Quadtria’s Divine World." Nell took a closer look at the list.

"Yes, we need Megami to collect the insider information with the Eyes of Truth first. I can’t trust He-Dao and the Heaven Rank." Elena nodded in agreement.

"Megami will take the injured Amy home, but will Megami go alone? Isn’t that risky?" Rhea expressed her concern.

"Fufu, Zi Xuan will accompany Megami. Ely wants to see who will dare to plot against her later. Because Megami is Ely’s divine avatar, she can use her instant teleportation across the realm boundary, even through the mysterious void, to return to Ely’s side. Everything has been prepared." Lifa covered her mouth as she could guess Elysia’s intention.

"You guessed it correctly, Lifa. Miko will oversee this unknown secret realm’s exploration so I can ensure everyone’s safety. I will go to Earth to visit Gaia in the meantime." Elysia smiled in reply.

"I will go with you to Earth. It’s been five years, and I’m afraid a big change has occurred there." Elena stated her desire but would still go even though Elysia decided something else.

"I’ll go with you. The Mother Goddess is a bit suspicious. I can’t trust her. She grants us a free pass to visit Earth with her divine avatar as the marker’s catalyst. Her reasoning is apparent." Ai was determined to come with Elysia.

"Alright. That’s the three of us. In two weeks, we’ll open the path when you’re done exploring and gathering opportunities from the unknown secret realm. Miko will be my representative. If something unexpected happens, I’ll take over and eliminate the great threat for you." Elysia stood up and pointed her palm towards Miko.

"???" Miko blinked her eyes in surprise when everyone looked at her. Her mama would need to leave for two weeks. Her mama also gave her an important task that she had to complete. Thus, she thumped her chest as she understood her crucial role in their future event. "Leave it to me."

"Fufu, I guess everything will be fine. We’ll take care of the matters for you. We’ll be waiting for you in two weeks. I’ll try to convince Gaia to join our rank later. She also knows something about your lost origin, Ely. Don’t let her get away." Lifa tapped her chin with a faint smile at some of the ideas in her mind.

The girls chat happily about their future event schedule.

The only male in the family, the little dragons, just watched from the side while enjoying their snacks. They would follow their master’s arrangement without question. Nevertheless, they were excited as they looked forward to this evening’s event to explore the Heavenly Rebel’s unknown secret realm from the Divine World.

"Keke, more treasures and opportunities. A good appetizer for our future ascension." Lixue couldn’t contain his laughter. He imagined himself having already accumulated another pile of mountains of treasures.

"..." Gio and Cherub gave a side eye to their junior.

Noir squinted his eyes at the nearby greedy, treasure-hungry ice dragon and took a little distance, knowing he could never get along with the ice.

When the afternoon sun began to color the sky, the Sacred Sakura’s region became lively because so many guests were there.

The only peaceful area is the Sacred Mountain, but many experts gather at the mountain foot. Over a thousand people queued at the gathering spot for the same purpose, finishing their preparation to explore the unknown secret realm that would be opened soon.

"Rua!" Sakura calculated the guest’s resources and treasures based on their worth and value quickly and precisely. She then gave the Sacred Sakura’s merit card to the guest.

"You got 1100 Sacred Sakura’s merit points, good sir. You can exchange points to buy items at the Sakura Shop next door." Bai Yuchen wiped his sweat.

This miscellaneous task was tiring, but he aimed for the extra reward like the other outer disciples. It also didn’t require spiritual power, just physical strength. So, he gladly participated in this miscellaneous task even though he would participate in the major event in the evening.

"Thank you." The guest laughed and went to the shop next door. He could see a virtual screen heavily guarded by several Demi-Gods metal puppets.

He gulped his saliva and immediately bought anything he might need in his exploration, especially the fine salt.

The follow-up preparation takes place. When the sun had set, all the participants who wanted to explore the unknown secret realm from the Divine World gathered at the gathering ground.

Sakura Shop had closed, and all guests were ready to explore to seek the opportunities the Sacred Sakura Goddess presented.

"Welcome to our Sacred Sakura new major event. Considering everyone’s safety, the realm portal will remain open for two weeks. Make sure you return safely before time runs out. Let’s cut the speech short. The realm portal will open in twenty seconds. Form your group and pass through the barrier. Seek the opportunities to immortality that our Supreme Goddess presents to you!" Yusagi started the event with her opening speech.

*Rumble!*

The nearby dimension twisted, and a sizeable spiraling darkness realm portal emerged before everyone.

Elysia took over Miko to trigger the dark prism key in Miko’s hand. She opened the unknown realm portal.

And then, she cast the layered barrier around it. The dark prism vanished before any outsiders could notice it amidst the spiralling darkness. After that, Elysia let Miko handle the rest.

"The unknown secret realm has opened. Pass through the barrier if you meet the requirements to explore it. Move in groups to increase your chance of survival. You will be safe if you obey our warnings, reminders, and rules." Miko presented the realm portal to everyone.
