My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 362: Otherworld’s Predicament

The patriarch waited nothing more and hurried off to the garden pavilion to meet the guests from the Heavenly Palace. "The guests from the higher Heaven have become a bit unscrupulous lately. They visit my place but don’t greet me."

"We’re here at Saintess Mytic’s invitation, not for a formal visit, Mystic Stellar Patriarch. We won’t possibly bother your precious time." Yuna glanced to the side, greeted with a calm and aloof attitude.

"How could I not spare some time for the guests of the Heavenly Palace?" The patriarch responded warmly and sat in front of the guests.

"..." Megami remained silent with her eyes closed. She was busy refining the Heavenly Curse.

Zi Xuan sat beside Megami while enjoying hot tea, observing the situation silently.

Mytic returned and heaved a subtle sigh.

The patriarch spoke several things with the Agent of Heaven and exchanged pleasantries. He also asked Saintess Mytic’s reason for suddenly making a big move in collecting several materials and treasures.

"The great war is approaching. I requested some healing pills and medicines and must prepare the materials." Mytic explained briefly while occasionally glancing at Goddess Ely.

"The Heavenly War, huh... that makes sense." The patriarch stared at the aurora sky in the distance with several thoughts in mind, remembering the inevitable war that would involve the entire Heavens was already around the corner.

"Hmm?" The patriarch then paid attention to the black-haired veiled lady and the pastel pink-haired young girl.

The Agents of Heaven were known for their unrivalled beauty. They were the top-tier Goddesses from various mysterious backgrounds who worked under Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Emperor.

He studied all the Agents of Heaven when he became the patriarch of the Mystic Stellar Sacred Ground. Still, he didn’t remember an Agent of Heaven with this temperament and appearance.

"Is this veiled lady the new Agent of Heaven?" The patriarch sent a sound transmission to Saintess Mytic.

"No, no. Her grace is the divine healer. Her grace will start concocting the heavenly pill in three hours. Patriarch, I hope we don’t trouble you. Please seal the news and protect my courtyard from any disturbance." Mytic put on a troubled expression as if she really meant it.

"Alright. That’s easy for me. It would be best if you had said so from the start. But, the divine healer of the Heavenly Palace, huh... Make sure you gift me one of the heavenly healing pills later. Let me know if you need more materials. No, wait. I can give more materials for it." The patriarch stroked his beard with a pleased smile.

"That’s for sure, patriarch." Mytic understood the courtesy as it went without saying.

"Then, I won’t bother you girls. The Heavenly Palace is filled with many peerless high-rank Goddesses. Hmm... The Heavenly Emperor lives a good life." The patriarch nodded with satisfaction.

He then stood up and bid his farewell to the Agent of Heaven. Because the divine healer remained silent as if in meditation, he only paid his respects before leaving.

"..." Yuna shook her head and looked at the Supreme Goddess.

She didn’t know what to say because Goddess Ely remained silent and motionless.

"Is it okay to meditate in an open space like this? Will we be a bother? Should we leave?" Yuna sent a voice transmission to Zi Xuan.

"No, that’s not necessary. Master never said we need to go." Zi Xuan shook her head.

Two hours later, Megami opened her eyes. It took her longer than her estimated time to refine the Heavenly Curse. It would only take a few seconds if it was Elysia.

"Thank you for looking after me during my brief epiphany." Megami expressed her gratitude. Everyone replied warmly and happily, but it was time to handle business matters. "Mytic, have the materials been prepared?"

"We have prepared most of the materials on the list in my alchemy room. The rest will follow in an hour at most." Mytic checked her wooden tablet and matched it with the list on the scroll.

"Then, I will start the preparations." Megami got up from her seat, asking Mytic to lead the way.

She borrowed Mytic’s alchemy room a while later and locked herself up. She asked Mytic and Yuna to guard the door while Zi Xuan would help her inside.

As Mytic promised, all the remaining materials and treasures were fulfilled within one hour.

"Thank you for your cooperation. I will take it inside. Please wait for us in half an hour." Zi Xuan received the other materials before returning inside.

*Bam*

The door was closed tightly, leaving Yuna and Mytic outside.

"How long does it take for a highest tier alchemist or physician to concoct one heavenly healing pill?" Mytic couldn’t help but wonder and asked the more knowledgeable one.

"That’s usually three hours at the earliest, but we’re talking about the Supreme Goddess." Yuna chose not to overthink it and reported the situation to her Lord.

"Hmm..." Megami began the refining process and crafted some healing potions and pills.

The materials she asked for were more abundant than what was needed. She would only craft one dozen each and take the rest as her reward. However, the patriarch seemed to increase the quantity as he wished to receive more.

Zi Xuan helped and followed all the instructions given. It became her first experience to help an alchemist to concoct pills and potions.

Half an hour later, Megami put the pills into three different containers. One set is for Mystic’s father, one set is for the current Mystic Stellar’s patriarch, and the remaining ones are for Mystic.

"Heavenly healing potions and pills." Zi Xuan gulped her saliva after seeing the sparkling, perfect final products.

"We’ll make other ones for us later. They have waited for quite a while. Let’s head out." Megami closed the three wooden boxes and brought them out.

*Creak*

The crackling sound of the door caught Yuna and Mythic’s attention.

"This one is for your father, and this one is for him. The last one contains ten pills and potions each." Megami handed over the three boxes to Mytic.

"Ah, uh... thank you very much. That was really fast." Mytic still felt somewhat in disbelief that it only took half an hour.

She opened the small box containing one vial of potion and one pill. Both of them sparkled with a perfect level of the highest purity, exuding a spiritual aura of goodness.

"That’s probably the fastest record for concocting the heavenly-tier elixir in just half an hour, my lady." Yuna was amazed.

"It’s not worth mentioning. Your father is free from the curse. Give him the potion and pill alternately. He will recover in a day or two." Megami patted Mytic’s shoulder.

"My lady, I will not forget this favour. Allow me to properly express my gratitude to you at the next opportunity." Mytic immediately bowed respectfully, full of gratitude.

"Raise your head. I’ve done what I can do. Can you handle the rest? We’ll be at Heavenly Palace. I’ll be there if you need me." Megami grasped her hand, acting gracefully in accepting the other’s favour.

"I will take my father to the heavenly meeting in two days. Once again, thank you for your help, my lady. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future." Mytic nodded with a look full of reverence.

The Supreme Goddess was powerful, wise, graceful, and beautiful... but also very benevolent and kind.

"Then, we shall take our leave." Megami waved her hand and walked to Yuna’s side, extending her hand.

"Please allow me to take you back to Heavenly Palace, my lady." Yuna received Goddess Ely’s hand and summoned her ascension golden lotus artifact.

"See you again, Saintess Mytic." Zi Xuan bid her farewell before jumping onto the golden lotus.

"Mm, see you again at the Heavenly Palace in two days." Mytic waved her hand.

Yuna felt excited inside because the Supreme Goddess would help the Heaven Channel regarding the primary matter after this. She immediately controlled her divine artifact and took the Supreme Goddess and the young priestess soaring through the sky, heading towards the 8th Heaven.

Elysia fell silent after listening to the information and story from Wales, the All-Devouring Whale.

The collapsed world was initially peaceful from the other dimension, on the same level as Earth, and was known as Ozebis. However, the insanely strong outer space monster invaded that planet. It snatched the world’s core, enslaving many creatures and treating many races like livestock.

The heavenly revolution occurred that year. Many divine beasts came to dethrone that insanely strong outer space. Unfortunately, the destruction of the world was inevitable.

The dimension collapsed, and the upper realm was destroyed, along with the disappearance of dozens of divine beasts that challenged the insanely strong outer space monster. The lower realm collapsed, crashing into another dimension due to the dimensional collapse, causing the world to merge with the other world in another dimension.

Unfortunately, the world destination was protected by the potent heavenly laws and the fierce Gods. The world was merged, but some divine beasts fought over territory in Earth’s Heaven. The decisive battle soon became inevitable.

"Nah, I only know the rough situation. I’m just the mid-rank divine beast, not the high-rank ones directly involved with that monster in the upper realm. Err, I’m becoming a bit confused myself. That sea of rainbows killed a lot of my memories and brain cells. But, well, the others weren’t as lucky as me, I guess." Wales muttered with a sigh.

"..." Elysia fell silent with complicated feelings. She guessed it right. The so-called otherworld monsters wished for a place to call home, a peaceful place to live.

Wales and the other four divine beasts of Ozebis were unlucky to encounter Gaia. Still, several others escaped and wreaked havoc in Earth’s Heaven.

Elysia then recalled her recent cold decisions and the series of events that she experienced. She sometimes felt a bit like a villain.

"Am I becoming a bit distant and selfish? I don’t feel like my usual self sometimes..." Elysia looked at Elena and Ai with a lost gaze.
