My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 369: Chain of Circumstances

Since the wheelchair was offered for free without conditions, Elysia accepted it without hesitation.

Erina sat sweetly in a wheelchair, feeling incredibly happy in her heart because her Goddess friend returned to her side. Despite everything that had occurred, she felt that everything would be fine from now on.

However, she hid her real feelings very well and only showed her usual cold expression and a little sadness. After all, everyone should know that she had to retire from the military.

But, Japan’s elite team suddenly blocked the corridor, and the captain raised his finger to question the masked man who would take Erina away. "Stop. Where are you taking Erina-sama? And also, who are you?"

Instructor Yufu and other military officers were soon caught up from behind. Elysia’s team was surrounded in the corridor.

"My name is El from Guardian of Dream. Erina’s superpower is strong, but her physique is not. I didn’t expect my girl to be seriously injured on this mission. We have to pick her up to take her home. Please make a way." Elysia introduced herself, feeling it was a good opportunity to make the Guardian of Dream known once again.

"The Guardian of Dreams!?"

Almost everyone was surprised by the introduction. Guardian of Dream, aka GoD, was known as the most mysterious organization with many God-like members in it. The only ones who owned a connection with GoD were the Minamoto Family, especially Erina. However, GoD disappeared five years ago, and even the Minamoto Family lost contact with GoD.

Yet! The mentioned GoD’s members appeared before them, one long-haired man in a fancy black robe and two mesmerizing masked beauties!

One was a devilish beauty with blood-red eyes and a faint aura of darkness. The other was the seductive, angelic lady with a golden glow.

When the women tried to discover more about the mysterious guy named El, the men focused more on the two peerless ladies beside El. They forgot that they were there for Erina for a second.

However, the momentary silence suddenly broke when Erina’s bodyguards hurriedly approached. "You there! Return our lady to us."

"Why should we? Why don’t you ask Erina’s opinion first?" Elysia tilted her head slightly.

"I will retire and return to Japan to handle the family’s business. You are all fired. Please return to your old posts at WUF." Erina announced her decision in a calm, cold tone.

"Wha-" The bodyguards gasped in surprise. They had gone through a lot just to get Erina’s favor. They were even subjected to experiments to build immunity to the golden diva’s touch.

They were elites sent from WUF specifically to protect and pursue Erina. Yet, their lady would be snatched away by someone under their noses!

As they couldn’t accept the insults and hard slaps in the face, one of the bodyguards suddenly replied with complete disapproval. "Please pardon me, my lady. You can’t just fire us because our mission is to keep yourself safe and happy."

"Then, you need to bless me and my soulmate. El is my God." Erina looked up, looking at Elysia with a tender gaze.

"My lady, you just met him. Did he hypnotize you? Such a white-faced guy is probably a conman. He doesn’t even dare to show his face. Please don’t be fooled by his-" One of the bodyguards was about to argue, but a golden light arrow suddenly shot out and grazed his cheek. Blood instantly flowed down.

"I won’t tolerate such an insult and disrespect. Watch your words, or your head will be the next target." Elena manifested several arrows of light on her palm.

"Control over the light element? You are-" The elite team captain widened his eyes in shock.

"Who do you think you are? We are always there for our lady, but the previous incident was unexpected. My lady, please allow us." One of the bodyguards was offended by that.

He knew their lady couldn’t move because she was seriously injured, but it might be his best opportunity to make his move to gain his lady’s favor. Therefore, he immediately knelt down, grabbing his lady’s hand gently. Unfortunately, it became the most fatal mistake in his life.

Erina always suppressed her emotions to keep her superpower under control, but when she became agitated, she would turn anything into gold or any gem, depending on her mood.

When the bodyguard impudently grabbed her hand, his hand immediately turned gold. It spread quickly to his arm and shoulder, and then Elysia kicked him quickly.

*Bam!*

The almost goldified bodyguard bounced off the wall and fell to the floor, groaning in pain. "How dare you..."

"How dare you to touch me without permission? Are you tired of living? Even though you are a little immune to my golden touch, that doesn’t mean you can survive it." Erina pursed her lips with profound annoyance.

"Phew, I saved you. You don’t have good intentions and sincerity... No wonder Erina never views you all in a good light. You are all disbanded. Erina will be safe with us." Elysia breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be complicated if Erina accidentally made a living human into a gold statue. However, that didn’t mean she would allow them to stay around Erina.

Those bodyguards were pretty weak, and their hidden intentions were clearly visible in their hearts. She also had no good impression of them because they previously mocked her and smashed her smartphone.

"Please make a way. Postpone any discussion after my recovery." Erina spoke with a commanding intonation.

"If you wish to return to Japan, then please allow us to escort you, Erina-sama." The nearby female warrior stated her request with a concerned gaze.

"The princess of the Kisaragi Family, Lieutenant Yuna. You have my permission, but I do not allow you to disrespect El. I have known him for years. I would not be at my current point without him." Erina replied with a subtle nod.

"Alright." Yuna walked closer slowly and took a closer look at the mysterious expert named El. He possessed mesmerizing purplish-blue eyes and a beautiful, handsome visage.

Though she couldn’t see his face due to his mask, she felt he would be a perfect match for Erina, considering that perhaps only such a peerless expert deserved to be Erina’s partner.

Yuna was about to push the wheelchair, but Erina stared dagger at her. Thus, she canceled her intention.

Elysia received Erina’s gaze. She then pushed the wheelchair as they had to leave from there.

"America owes us a lot." Instructor Yufu emphasized her point to America’s military officers before rushing off to catch up with Japan’s elite team.

Elysia signaled Elena and Ai to let Japan’s elite team come along.

Elena and Ai just nodded and walked ahead to deal with anyone who wanted to get in their way.

"Err, excuse me... are you perhaps... Fortuna?" The elite team captain hurried to the front and mustered his courage to ask the golden-haired lady.

"You have the wrong person, kid. Fortuna is your last name, not mine." Elena glanced to the side.

"Is that so?" The captain felt a bit disappointed. He sensed the familiar divine aura from this golden-haired lady’s presence.

She possessed powerful light element magic, and her beautiful, rune-like golden eyes reminded him of the Goddess who had helped him and given him superpower in the past.

"What’s going on? I thought Mike and Yuna were lovers. However, why is Yuna approaching Young Master El, and Mike approaching that golden-haired busty lady?" Instructor Yufu scratched her head as she could not understand young people’s affairs.

"I don’t know, but they probably want to dig up information and measure them. The Guardians of Dream disappeared five years ago, but why have they reappeared now?" The warrior nearby shook his head, feeling confused.

"Earth is not the only civilization we visited. However, who would have thought that Earth had changed drastically? The chaos, otherworld’s monsters, the gate of hell, and many more. Earth’s humanity could be threatened with extinction." Elysia looked up as if she was considering something.

"Young Master El, what is your view on humanity’s current situation? What should we do?" Erina looked up, intrigued by this topic.

Japan’s elite team immediately paid their attention to Young Master El. They still couldn’t confirm whether he was part of GoD or the fake, but this topic was interesting.

"Humanity will become extinct if they go all-out to eradicate the monster side in the lower sphere. The apocalypse is near, so you must prepare for the great disasters." Elysia shook her head.

"I see... the situation isn’t that great, huh." Erina sighed, but she wasn’t too worried since Elysia was already here.

"What? Is that true? Please elaborate on your insight and information regarding the disasters, Young Master El." Yuna gasped in surprise and immediately took advantage of the opportunity to dig deeper.

"Hmm, you are such a cheerful opportunist. Do you think those two great vishaps deliberately went to the upper sphere, the sea near human territory?" Elysia pushed the curious girl’s forehead with her finger.

"What do you mean, sir?" Mike slowed his pace and joined this crucial conversation.

"There is most likely a stronger monster around the Atlantic Ocean in the middle sphere, forcing them to flee from the greater threat." Elysia spilled her guess as if it wasn’t that important.

"..." Everyone immediately fell into silence. They suffered a great loss just to deal with two SSS-Class super monsters and those sea monsters. However, what if a much more powerful monster lurked far beneath the sea?

’You scared them, Ely. I’m sure they would feel desperate if they knew there were more than a dozen super overlord monsters in the lower sphere. Fortunately, those monsters are not so offensive as to bring chaos.’ Elena chuckled in her mind.

’They better be prepared. Luckily, Gaia killed several super overlords who wanted to rule the world three years ago.’ Elysia put on an innocent expression.

’Earth had lost its spiritual energy for a moment. The hydragon had woken up from his seal and deep slumber. However, Earth has been revitalized, making him abandon his intention to seek a new nest. However, he is too dangerous to be left alone.’ Gaia could feel something urgent through Elysia’s shared senses. Earth fluctuations warned them of a disaster awakening.

’What’s your suggestion, Gaia? Hydragon, is he another world’s monster?’ Elysia looked south suddenly, feeling the spiritual warning sign that Earth conveyed.

’He is a mythical beast, close to divinity, the nine-headed dragon of the 2nd Earth civilization. If you want to capture him, I fully support you, adding your apocalyptic monsters collection in Helven Realm.’ Gaia voiced her intentions excitedly.

’Uhm, let’s deal with that later. After going to Japan for Erina’s matters, I need to focus on Megami’s matters, my divine avatar. She postponed everything, but things will get a little tense.’ Elysia checked Megami and Miko’s situation periodically.
