My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 330: The Little ’Pawn’

As Earth’s spiritual energy declined, a profound shift rippled through the fabric of existence, altering the laws that governed the world. This swift turn in magical energy signaled a transformative moment in the spiritual landscape, impacting both the tangible and ethereal aspects of reality.

Elemental affinities experienced a swift turn. The balance between magical elements in the air shifted unpredictably.

Ley lines, the energetic veins of the Earth, experienced anomalies and fluctuations before they vanished into nothingness.

The spiritual veins beneath the ground and above the sky that covered the entire Earth gradually vanished due to the departure of the original Earth Core.

The new World Core rewrites the new world’s laws, making Earth the planet without magical or spiritual anymore.

"Earth won’t attract the attention of the Outer Gods anymore. At least for the next few tens of thousands of years. The profound world decline will affect the entire aspect, and I think that’s for the best." Elysia breathed a sigh of relief after observing the swift change in Earth’s world laws.

"What will happen to the sealed ones?" Gaia asked curiously.

"They will also be weakened. The great apocalypse is near but will not destroy the world." Elysia shrugged her shoulders.

"How will you resolve the world’s matter and crisis, Ely?" Gaia demanded it with a concerned tone. She already joined Elysium and formed a contract bond with Elysia. It was time for Elysia to fulfill one’s promise.

"We’ll start from the merged otherworld side. I also feel the underworld is very unstable. What happened there?" Elysia stared in a particular direction, feeling a faint spiritual fluctuation typical of the underworld emerging into the middle, mortal world.

"A powerful Outer God fled to the Underworld Realm. That realm collapsed and became unstable. I could only stabilize the middle world, and those Gods of Heaven can handle the upper world, but the underworld... the remains of that realm will emerge to the mortal world every month, sending the underworld’s inhabitants here." Gaia sighed.

"Is that so? Have the demons, devils, and other hell-type creatures in the underworld been partially wiped out? Do we need to resolve this matter too?" Ai crossed her arms.

"The underworld’s survivors have migrated to Hell Realm. However, we need to handle the underworld’s realm fragments. This realm fragment will gradually disintegrate when no more creatures are in it." Gaia explained a little.

"Oh, why don’t we directly destroy the entire realm fragment then?" Ai tilted her head slightly, wondering why they needed to clear the hell creatures out first when they could forcefully close the realm fragment by destroying it from the mortal world.

"Realm fragment forced destruction will bring harm to this middle world. I have a plan for that, but I need to complete the first stage of preparation to resolve the world’s great war between both side’s superpowers." Elysia nodded in understanding.

"I will follow your plan, Ely. But allow me to take Gaia to the Nature Realm first. She has joined Elysium now. There are several things there that we need to discuss with her true body." Ai took the storage pouch from Elysia’s hand and faintly smirked at the Earth Core inside.

"Huh? Are you still not satisfied with bullying my divine avatar?" Gaia was shocked, as if she couldn’t believe it.

"Summon all your other avatars, including any incarnations, if any. Order all nature spirits to leave with you. They must migrate to our private world or vanish due to the new world’s laws." Ai reminded Gaia with a firm intonation.

"Alright. Please pardon Gaia. Don’t bully her too much." Elysia knew what Elena, Lifa, and Ai wanted to do to Gaia. However, Gaia deserved punishment, and their family also needed to dig deeper into the secrets Gaia was hiding from them.

"Why do we bully our new recruits? We need to welcome her warmly, right? But, Ely... I’ll be back soon. Please don’t do anything dangerous in the meantime." Ai held Elysia’s hand.

"I have become an authentic Deity physically and spiritually. I will be extra careful. I appreciate your concern, Ai. See you soon~" Elysia reassured Ai, waving her hand to send Ai into the Nature Realm’s portal.

"Well then~" Elysia looked up at the sky and vanished into the void.

She wished to tour the world once to study the world’s actual situation, looking for something suitable for her to start her plan to resolve the world’s matters as she promised.

---

The world was separated into three camps. The north was entirely controlled by humans as the original Earth’s inhabitants, the middle was the vulnerable area for both sides, and the south was where the merged world was located.

The south became the other races’ territory, overlapping the South Pole with another world, causing Earth to expand 150% of its original size.

Elysia toured the world of the void once. She discovered the other world’s races, known as monsters, not all of which were filled with scary-looking demonic monsters. She could see many humanoid races, such as demi-humans.

The cities and civilizations in the south also looked quite advanced and prosperous, but there were no humans.

"I discovered there are at least eleven overlords close to level 100. However, the human side doesn’t even have a single person above level 90... Those overlords, fortunately, still haven’t made their move. The humans also don’t dare to attack the southern mainland with a weapon of mass destruction." Elysia considered many things.

She decided to start her first stage of preparation to unite the world’s order between humans and otherworld creatures from the south by looking for a suitable variable to serve as the ’pawn’ to achieve that goal.

The first thing to consider was the said overlord. Still, she had to ensure they were not the reincarnated or the transmigrated Outer Gods.

The first overlord was a tyrant dragon, the second one was the blood lust vampire, the third one was the power-hungry ape, the fourth one was the sadistic dark elf, the fifth one--

Elysia checked the highest level overlords in the south carefully. However, she couldn’t find a suitable ’pawn’.

Since nothing could satisfy her, she toned down her searching scope to around level 90 overlord.

After several hours of searching, she discovered an eye-catching underwater tower beneath a small island in the southern Pacific Ocean.

"This faint aura... this is not an ordinary Deity-level entity." Elysia flew down and dived into the sea from the void, observing the underwater tower to the deepest bottom.

The tower had a hundred floors beneath the surface, and the Deity-level entity who intrigued her was at the very bottom.

*Zap*

Elysia teleported to the deepest floor, breaking through sea stone walls and barriers without alerting anyone.

In a grand room, a living quarter greeted her sight. The chamber was damp, dark, stiflingly hot, and somewhat eerie. It was the lair of a Deity-level creature, the tower master.

Elysia scanned her surroundings and found the target. She went closer and saw a silver-haired lady on a transparent jelly bed, hugging a sizeable silver egg.

<| Lv. 91 | Multiform Jelly Queen | Ophelia Phylum | Female (N/A) |>

<| Talent: 4 Stars | SSR |>

"Hm~" Elysia was intrigued by this Jelly Queen.

She could see this lady already possessed a nearly perfect human form. Yet, she could also sense mixed DNA from various races from that lady.

’She probably devoured countless powerful creatures to arrive at this level. However, why do I feel there is something strange about her body? She sometimes becomes almost transparent, but there is an aura of regression from her soul. She suffered a backlash and her level dropped? She also transferred her vitality to her egg...’ Elysia observed the Jelly Queen more closely.

She considered whether this Initial Stage of Deity-level overlord could meet her standards for future plans.

However, she was immediately shocked when she discovered the egg hugged by the Jelly Queen was dead.

No embryo was inside, but that egg should have developed. The fertilized egg contained only the almost rotten liquid. However, there were also some traces of potent poison and curse.

"My baby... Don’t be afraid. Mommy is here." The Jelly Queen became transparent. Her silver hair stretched out as if it were alive and wrapped around the egg more closely, but tears flowed down her cheeks.

’Motherly love... She is in denial, even though she knows that her baby is no more. Someone harmed her and her baby. I’ve made a decision... you are my chosen one, little egg. You will help me to unify the south and achieve world peace. Wait, I copied Gaia’s divine power, and the egg will probably hatch my incarnation. It’s similar to an avatar. But, never mind. We’ll start with this little jelly queen.’

Elysia used her divinity by borrowing the power from Heaven and Earth. She cleaned the egg’s interior of foul fluids, toxins, and curses. Then, she created an embryo inside the egg, copying the Jelly Queen’s appearance, and blew life into it.

The little jelly queen would develop as her incarnation. Her ’pawn’ would hatch within a day or two. Therefore, her first plan stage had been achieved and her ’pawn’ would take care of everything in her stead in the future.

As for the Jelly Queen, Elysia also blessed both mommy and baby. She also helped the Jelly Queen’s vitality to recover because her incarnation’s mommy had to live a long life, too.

After placing her future plan seed, she left there as she also had to put a ’pawn’ on humanity’s side to achieve the grand unity of future peace.

Unknown to her. Even though she created the embryo with the Jelly Queen’s appearance, it was still her incarnation with her blessing and fragment of life. It would hatch a little queen with many similarities to her appearance.

A few minutes later, the Jelly Queen woke up from her deep slumber because she sensed a faint breath of life and a living beat from her egg.

She widened her eyes as overflowing emotions flooded her. She knew her baby was alive and survived the harm.

The Jelly Queen gently stroked her egg with a tender expression.

After feeling it again, she was surprised because the vitality she transferred to her egg had been miraculously recovered. However, her gaze soon turned a bit murderous. "It’s truly a miracle... My vitality also recovered. It’s okay, my beloved baby. Mommy will always be by your side. Mommy will slaughter the ones who harmed you soon..."
