My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 371: Overdone It

Erina shivered slightly, and Elysia held Erina close. Because the stealth aircraft was traveling at super high speed, Erina felt a little short of breath, so Elysia cast additional protection and put an oxygen breathing apparatus on Erina.

"Ellie, why are you disguised as a man? You are a breathtaking lady, and your authentic beauty goes unappreciated with your disguise." Erina leaned her head against Elysia’s shoulder.

"Hmm, I guess it’s because of the current Earth. Men get more privileges, and the lone beautiful girl also brings troublesome problems because of her presence. I just arrived on Earth, and well, a lot of things happened. Once my merchant role ends, I will use my identity as Miss E again." Elysia grabbed Erina’s hand.

"..." Erina meekly nodded. She was currently significantly weakened, but she enjoyed this warmth. Elysia would heal her slowly for several reasons. Apart from her retirement, Elysia would ensure her body was stable and balanced.

In the last four years, she had pushed herself in the face of adversities almost non-stop, surpassing human limits. However, from the cultivation and technique manuals she received from Elysia five years ago, she focused too much on one’s spiritual power, neglecting her physical balance.

Therefore, her superpower was strong enough to compete with SSS-level monsters. However, her body was still a reasonably fragile human.

"Erina, you have constantly suffered and, perhaps, feel that we have abandoned you. Even though we are sealed in the crystal seal, it doesn’t change any facts. Please forgive me." Elysia lowered her head to apologize. She felt sorry for Erina, and it was meanie to question Erina’s loyalty despite what Erina had been through.

"Hehe, it’s not your fault or anyone else’s. You’ve done so much for me. You also left behind many treasures. I’m grateful that you’re safe and sound, Ellie. But I don’t think I’ll be able to remain sane if you leave me again." Erina chuckled softly, feeling comforted and relieved.

It was as if all her hardships, constant suffering, and arduous journey through adversities had been compensated because her Goddess finally returned to her side. She literally sold her soul to Elysia and naturally wished for her Goddess to be by her side.

"Anyway, Erina, I’m glad you still have us in your heart. We won’t let you suffer anymore. We’ll resolve the entire order gradually." Elena looked back, feeling happy for Erina, but she noticed something unexpected. "However, hey... why is your golden touch getting out of control again? Don’t transform this aircraft into gold. We’re going into free fall."

Elysia immediately grabbed Erina’s hands and suppressed Erina’s golden touch.

"Sorry... my emotions are not stable. My golden touch can sometimes transform beyond gold and jewels. I sometimes turned things into titanium, adamantium, and more. Ellie, I deviated from your teachings. What should I do?" Erina snuggled closer to Elysia’s arms, trying to put her emotions under control.

"Your superpower evolved again? Are you perhaps a reincarnator from Heaven?" Elysia blinked her eyes in surprise. Erina’s abilities could be classified as godly abilities!

She wiped the part of the seat that had become gold to redo the gold transformation as she wondered about Erina’s actual origin.

"Of course, no. I was born with it. But reincarnators... Ellie, do you know about them too? In the last four years, they’ve been popping up everywhere."

"What do you mean?"

"Some people suddenly gained superpowers and became top-tier elites in just a few weeks. Some suddenly change their personalities like another person and somehow possess powers beyond human comprehension. Also, those with a profound knowledge beyond mortals. They are probably not geniuses or the blessed ones. I feel some of them are not humans."

"Oh, yep. They are the reincarnators and transmigrators from Heaven. Some divine-tier calamity monsters wreaked havoc in Heaven, and the fallen Gods came down to Earth. Fret not. They are on our side. We will put them to work to make Earth great again."

"That’s a relief. If you want, I’ve collected their data."

"Mm, thank you. We’ll handle it later. Erina, are you sleepy?"

"Mhm... can you please hold me tight, Ellie?"

"Sure."

Elysia noticed Erina was sleepy and let her sleep in her arms. Erina grabbed her robes tightly like a little girl who didn’t want to be separated from her mother, even while sleeping.

Elysia rubbed Erina’s cheek and kissed Erina’s forehead, putting Erina into a deeper soul bond as Elysium’s official member. She also blessed Erina with a blessing as she had to do something to Erina’s current drawbacks.

"..." Erina opened her mouth and closed it again. She wanted to say something, but she felt incredibly embarrassed. Therefore, she immediately hid her flushed face into Elysia’s arms.

The warmth of comfort, Elysia’s pleasant fragrance, soothing aura, and feeling of security soon pushed her into the peaceful rest. The luxury that she hadn’t felt for years.

Just as she was about to sleep, a notification about congratulations for joining the Elysium Group Chat entered her mind.

However, Erina closed her eyes and slept in her Goddess’ arms.

The stealth aircraft sped up and arrived in Japan two hours later. Erina was still asleep, but something urgent occurred. Elysia needed to synchronize part of her consciousness with Megami.

"Elena and I will keep you safe, Ely. Leave everything to us." Ai controlled the stealth aircraft to land smoothly.

"Thank you. Megami’s matters have been delayed for two days, but the guests have come to Heavenly Palace. We haven’t even done an inspection of the Nirvana Seal yet." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.

"Alright then. We are already in the safe zone. You can help Megami and take her home once the matters are over." Elena cast a protection formation around the aircraft.

Elysia nodded and closed her eyes. She put two fingers to her forehead, and half of her consciousness went to her divine avatar in Quadtria’s Divine World.

---

In the best cultivation chamber in the Heavenly Palace, Megami opened her eyes with overflowing divine power radiating from her entire body.

It was so overflowing that her divine avatar body became somewhat unstable, and hundreds of golden vein circuits were visible on her skin.

’You overdone it.’ Elysia couldn’t help but mutter.

’I prepared my best, mama. I don’t bite off more than I can chew.’ Megami stabilized her body, containing all the divine power to the point where zero aura radiated.

’Alright. Our hunches can’t be wrong. However, the bad feeling hasn’t disappeared, huh...’ Elysia used her divinity to divine the future.

’He-Dao heeded our reminder, and there was a traitor in his rank. We don’t know about the other guests. They should have come to Heavenly Palace by now. Katie has also arrived.’ Megami took a deep breath, feeling herself so full.

After the business in the Divine World was over, she felt like immediately returning to her mama’s side to transfer all the divine power and heavenly energy she had absorbed in the last two days. She also had to hand over those treasures to her mama. It was just a request in the name of preparation. He-Dao was generous enough to fulfill everything without conditions.

She originally had to inspect the Nirvana Seal two days ago with her mama overseeing the entire situation, but their hunch warned them about the lurking danger, ready to backstab them.

Therefore, she hinted to He-Dao and Agent White about the lurking threat and risk of betrayal. Due to this situation, her agenda was postponed as the Heavenly Palace had to conduct the secret inspection, but the primary events continued as usual.

’I’ve re-stabilized the turmoil in your spiritual sea. You are currently like a walking bomb. After the inspection, I have to take you back. Don’t use any magic. I will handle everything for you.’ Elysia didn’t know what to do with her divine avatar, who had somehow become a little greedy.

If someone devoured food until their stomach was too full, then one hit was what it took to make that person explode. Megami’s situation wasn’t that different, but Megami insisted they needed a lot of divine power.

Elysia partially took control over Megami, and they left the cultivation chamber.

Zi Xuan was already waiting outside with a radiant divine aura, marking her recent major breakthrough.

Elysia was happy when she noticed Zi Xuan’s improvement. "Congratulations on your breakthrough, Xuan’er. You are one step closer to returning to your prime."

"Thanks to the Heavenly Palace’s cultivation chamber and your guidance, my lady. But, this tone... are you Goddess Ely or Megami?" Zi Xuan was flattered but was a bit surprised because it wasn’t Megami’s usual tone.

"It’s me taking over partially. We’ll get this inspection done today." Elysia pressed her finger against Zi Xuan’s lips and replied with a wink.

"Understood." Zi Xuan meekly nodded with a blushing face.

"Well then. They’ve been waiting for a while. Katie, are you there?" Elysia looked at a particular side chamber and called out.

"I am present, my lady." Katie floated out, greeting Goddess Ely with passion.

"Thank you for your help, Katie. I made you wait for a while, too. But, have you brought those ’items’ ready?" Elysia inspected Katie upside down. This Fate Goddess looked more lively than ever.

"Everything is good, my lady. I get the opportunity to cultivate here, too. I am ready to perform divination to the Nirvana Seal if necessary. But, my lady... please allow me to tell you about something first." Katie floated closer.

"I’m all ears." Elysia crossed her arms.

They picked up Katie a few days ago, but Katie immediately left after getting a secret request directly from her.

"Psst, pss, pssh..." Katie covered her mouth and whispered several things near Elysia’s ear.

She spoke some nonsense, but she sent the actual information via short-range direct telepathy to avoid eavesdroppers, including Zi Xuan.

Because of Goddess Ely’s request, she had to prepare several things. She also collected several items and went on a secret intelligence mission.

She carried out her mission cautiously because several factions wanted to harm the Supreme Goddess with ruthless and despicable methods.
