My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 322: Sightseeing the Chaotic Land

The Divine World is the world where everyone has the opportunity to achieve immortality, but that doesn’t mean everyone is the Gods and Immortals. There were still many mortals below the 10th Rank.

The spiritual energy in all layers of the Heavens was much higher and purer than the lower realm, but the Heavens weren’t as peaceful and beautiful as Elysia imagined, pretty similar to the Earth’s Heavens.

"So, the Heavens are just like the higher realms." Megami commented after observing the five layers of Heavens she had passed through.

The upper layers were relatively peaceful because the powerful Gods and Immortals who lived there could live in seclusion, rarely leaving their territory. Not to mention the heavenly laws implemented by the Heavenly Palace in the 8th layer, directly supervised by the Heavenly Dao and Heaven Rank top-rank members.

The middle layers were more or less peaceful, but disputes and commotion often occurred here and there.

When arriving at the lower layers, it was easy to see the chaos, blood feud, and deadly struggle for opportunity. The bottom three layers of the Divine World were not much different from the mortal world.

He-Dao couldn’t leave the Heavenly Realm for some reason, and the Heaven Rank members all lived in the mid-layer and upper layers. So, the lower layer was less regulated.

*Boom!*

"Hm?" Megami turned her head to the side, staring at the ground explosion in the distance.

"Wha! That surprised me. This aura... Who fought to that extent? Someone burned one’s life essence to bring the enemy down." Mytic gasped in surprise.

’Let’s have a look.’ Elysia felt curious.

"We need to check it out." Megami relayed her mama’s wish to Yuna in a commanding tone.

"Ah, uhm... my lady, Goddess Ely, can we-" Yuna was about to suggest continuing their tour, not involving themselves in the disputes between mortals, let alone the outsiders, which often occurred.

However, she shut her mouth when she found Goddess Ely looking at her with a profound gaze.

She was entranced when she stared at Goddess Ely’s mystic purplish-blue eyes, but it also made her feel a bit afraid because that gaze seemed to look directly at her deepest soul.

’Xyuna.’ Megami called Yuna’s true name via direct telepathy.

"On your orders." Yuna shuddered a bit because Amy’s earlier warning was proven correct. She bowed respectfully and pulled the reins.

The two heavenly pegasus turned around and brought the ladies to the desired location quickly but smoothly. They crossed thousands of miles in just a few seconds.

Next to a fertile plantation field, two men were facing each other, covered in wounds.

The terrain was broken, leaving a large crater remaining from the two people’s fight. Dozens of people lay around, lifeless.

"You come uninvited and bring the death to my clansmen. Since you don’t give my people a way out, then I shall bring you to the deepest hell!" The big-eared, muscular old man put his hands together, giving rise to his thirty-meter-tall and ten-meter-wide golden avatar.

"Fcking hell, ungrateful codger. We came for a trade, and you were the one who started the killing." The giant bee-like man wiped blood from his mouth, growling in annoyance.

"Keep the change, you filthy animal. You wish to exploit us and force us to the deathbed with that despicable trade of yours. I will die soon, and I will open the path to my descendants by bringing the enemy’s patriarch to hell with me!" The big-eared, muscular old man swung his hand down, and his giant golden avatar hit the enemy like he was swatting a fly.

*Bam!*

The giant bee-like man exerted his physical might, opening a way out of the golden avatar’s palms with brute force. "You won’t last for a stick of incense by burning your life essence. Once you die, everything will become mine."

"Killing you is the point. Living through it is the luxury!" The muscular, big-eared, muscular old man grinned broadly.

An incarnation of the God of Death appeared behind him, and a massive gravitational force spiked up, sucking everything in before delivering a super destructive force similar to a nuclear explosion.

*Kaboom!*

Anything within a ten-mile radius was shattered into dust, and blinding light shone fifty miles away.

Megami wore special sunglasses to protect her eyes from the blinding light.

She also cast an energy barrier to deflect the nuclear explosion before it could obliterate the nearby settlement. That old man wished to protect his clan, but his final move would wipe out everyone without leaving anyone behind!

"It’s a suicide technique." Zi Xuan couldn’t help but comment. She also wore special sunglasses, thanks to Megami.

"That is the patriarch of the Chikyu Clan. Who is that giant bee-like demon?" Mytic covered her eyes, relying on her divine sense to see the aftermath.

"He is most likely his old rival and archenemy, the Venom Deathstinger." Yuna analyzed more deeply while checking the authenticity using her authority as the moderator of Heaven Rank.

"Is it over?" The big-eared, muscular old man fell to the ground, staring at the destruction around him with a blank gaze as his life essence was drained away, and he was already on the brink of his death.

"Was it worth it, sir? Your final move almost wiped out your entire clan. If I don’t make a move, no one will survive." Megami sent a voice transmission with a sigh.

"Thank you, senior, for your help... I shall remember your favor. May I know who you are?" The old man looked up, but he could see nothing, and his senses gradually left him.

"Just a passerby. You will die soon, but you can take this pill to survive for another day. Finish what you need to do. In exchange, I will take the pitiful vitality herb that was almost destroyed in your explosion." Megami sent a final breath pill to the fallen old man.

"Did he manage to escape?" The old man received the pill, but he didn’t have the energy to move. Death had come to him, but his enemy managed to escape.

"You guessed it right. You may die as a hero, but your desperate measure was so reckless. I shall take my leave, sir. Good luck." Megami moved her finger and the precious vitality herb flew into her arms.

Her mama would obviously love it. She got a high-tier vitality herb by simply exchanging an emergency pill to sustain someone’s life for a day.

"Phew..." Yuna felt somewhat relieved because she had previously been a bit afraid when Goddess Ely effortlessly blocked that large explosion with just a sweep of a hand, protecting the settlement.

After that, the two pegasus pulled the chariot to fly away.

"Alas, please take it, and thank you, Her Grace..." The old man ate the green pill without hesitation, and he soon felt himself recovering gradually.

However, he knew it was only a temporary recovery. He would still meet his demise once the pill’s effects wore off.

"Grandfather!" A little boy ran up to his grandfather with tears in his eyes and snot flowing like a waterfall.

Some clansmen who survived also rushed over, but the patriarch suddenly stood up as if he had returned to health.

"That damned Deathstinger is still alive, but he can’t be far away. I shall bring him down to the hell with me today!"

The old man growled and quickly flew away like a missile, chasing his enemy by following the trail of aura left in the air. His clan members, who also survived, immediately followed to help their patriarch.

Megami left the scene with a feeling of relief in her heart. That old man was a weakened Immortal at 12th Rank, but the nuclear explosion seemed to be equivalent to the high-level destructive power of a 14th Rank Immortal.

’Phew, luckily, I copied Ai’s devouring darkness and Zera’s energy nullification and learned about energy manipulation plus absorption from Lifa and Rhea. Otherwise, our barrier wouldn’t be able to block that nuclear explosion in time.’

’Tha old man was so desperate and fixated on eliminating his enemies, he forgot about his surroundings and the people he needed to protect.’

’That’s very bad. Even if he wins, but at what price? That would be a great loss.’

’The Divine World isn’t much different from the mortal world, hmm... There are just more super powerhouses who can wipe out a city in just an instant...’

Elysia, Ai, Elena, and Miko chat on their exclusive spiritual path.

’I did my part and gained an unexpected reward. Mama, shall we continue to visit the Goddess of Fate?’ Megami put the vitality herb into the shared inner space.

’Yup, still as planned. After sightseeing all Heaven’s layers, we will visit her. Her church is on the 5th layer. We will discover some deep secrets, and it will start with her.’ Elysia reconfirmed it.

’She is the Goddess of Fate, but she is only affiliated with the Heaven Rank, not part of them. We shall discover something interesting soon. Megami, we are counting on you. We will always be at your back~’ Elena wished Megami all the best.

’Understood.’ Megami took out a note and wrote down something.

"???" Yuna and Mytic glanced at the written list.

The first one was sightseeing all the Heaven layers, then went to visit the Goddess of Fate, the Heavenly Moon Palace, the Ancient Academy’s Divine Library, and the last one returned to the Heavenly Palace.

"Goddess Ely, would it be possible for you to visit my Mystic Stellar Sacred Ground before returning to the Heavenly Palace?" Mytic braced herself to invite the Supreme Goddess.

"Sure. It’s about your heart’s desire, right?" Megami replied with a subtle nod, writing Mystic Stellar Sacred Ground as the last place to visit before the Heavenly Palace.

"!?" Mytic was pleasantly surprised. Her intentions and request were already known to the Supreme Goddess, but she didn’t expect Goddess Ely would agree to it so easily.

"..." Yuna had some complaints and dissatisfaction in mind. Mytic was so cunning and shameless, but since the Supreme Goddess didn’t mind, then she wouldn’t say anything.
