My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 385: Abandoned Puppies

When morning arrived, Elysia invited Gaia out of the Nature Realm as she needed some advice from the Earth Mother Goddess.

"Uhm..." Gaia felt a bit shy and anxious because it was the first time in the history of her existence to be present in the outside world with her true body.

It was no longer in the special space within the earth’s core or in a safe private realm, but Elysia had invited her and she couldn’t refuse.

"Why do you look nervous? I assure you, no harm will touch you as long as we are around." Elena held Gaia’s shoulders from behind and blew soft air into Gaia’s ear.

"!!!" Gaia shivered at Elena’s touch. She took a safe distance reflexively and went closer to Elysia, wondering what they would discuss.

"Gaia, please take a look at the current world map. We intend to create a special island in a good location to bridge the peace between humans and otherworld creatures. Do you have any suggestions for the best spot?" Elysia spread a world map onto the table.

"Hmm, let’s see." Gaia put her hand to her chin, observing the current world’s geography.

The old Earth was pushed up from the original map because of the world merge. The South Pole was overwritten by the new world and half of the world was added from parts of the otherworld.

The Earth was 84% covered by oceans, leaving only 16% land for terrestrial creatures. Most of the land was in the upper sphere.

If she considered Elysium’s interest in bridging peace between the two world races, then the best spot was to establish the peace region on the border in the middle sphere.

Gaia pointed to a particular spot in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and dragged her finger down to the south before tapping it. "This spot is the best location for the mediator central island."

"Hm, it’s not too far from the Phylum Tower." Ai observed the spot chosen by Gaia.

"Then, that’s it. Let’s go and build our Cube Island. That place will be the beginning of peace and new rules. Our trading house will also be built there." Elysia put her hands together, happy about the spot Gaia chose. She could also protect Phylum Tower indirectly and visit her incarnation more easily.

"Should we invite Xentia and Lyla first?" Elena rested her cheek on her hand.

"It’s okay. We can build a facility for this class without requiring further work." Elysia replied with a wink, but her gaze was aimed at Gaia.

"Err... what is it?" Gaia took a step back as she felt Elysia had some ideas about her.

"I don’t know. I just want to hug you. You are Earth Mother Goddess, and sometimes I want to call you mommy, hehe~" Elysia grabbed Gaia’s hand and hugged Gaia.

"That’s fine if it makes you happy, Ely." Gaia felt a bit surprised, but she returned Elysia’s hug.

"Hmm?" Gaia sensed something unusual from a distance and squinted her eyes to the side.

"What’s that?" Elena was wondering what made Gaia suddenly become a bit alert.

"It’s nothing. I just sensed some familiar divine power from Heaven. Are they looking for me, the Fallen Gods?" Gaia wondered.

"The reincarnators and transmigrators from Heaven? Should we meet them?" Elysia looked up and turned to the window.

"That’s good." Gaia nodded in agreement. She wouldn’t dare to go alone even if she wanted to because her current form was her true body, not her avatar or incarnation.

Because Elysia would come with her to check what those fallen Gods wanted, then everything would be fine even if those people might harbor some hidden intentions.

"Mio, some suspicious people are lurking around this area. Please tell Erina when she wakes up to stay in this room until we come back. We’ll be back in a few minutes." Elysia waved her hand to Mio.

Mio nodded in understanding, and then the four Goddesses vanished from the room with a poof.

"Uhm?" Erina felt Elysia’s presence suddenly move away from her.

She groped around the bed, but only found pillows and bolsters. By the time she opened her eyes, she couldn’t see Elysia in the room. She was the only one in the bed.

"Good morning, my lady. Lady Ely and her Goddess sisters just went to greet some suspicious people lurking around our mansion." Mio immediately reported the situation to her lady.

"Huh? The intruders are despicable! Knowing that I suffered fatal injuries, did they bold enough to take extreme measures to get rid of me? Let’s exterminate them!" Erina widened her eyes and clenched her fists, remembering that some parties would take this opportunity to get rid of her.

Many parties were eyeing her Minamoto Group, including the government. They would swallow the Minamoto Group whole, and she would never allow that to happen!

"Please calm yourself down, my lady. They wouldn’t dare do anything to us. It is likely Lady Gaia’s old friend. Lady Ely asked us to stay in this room until she returns." Mio explained the situation. It wasn’t a critical situation, after all.

"Gaia? Who?" Erina blinked her eyes questioningly.

"That is the Earth Goddess, my lady." Mio scratched her head.

"O-oh~ But, keep their names as top secret. No one outside Elysium is allowed to know their names. Goddess Ely is an exception." Erina reminded Mio firmly, and Mio nodded in understanding.

Several hundred meters from the high walls of the Minamoto Family’s mansion, a minibus was parked on the side of the road. Two people in jackets leaned against the side of the car, and two others sat leisurely inside.

The space behind them suddenly warped and the four of them were dragged into the unknown spatial dimension between the void and the outside world.

"!?" The four people gasped in surprise at the sudden change in scenery.

"This is spatial warp!" Someone exclaimed in surprise and began to check the surroundings with great vigilance, preparing for the worst.

However, he could only find the sea of stars dimension, and they stood on an invisible foothold in the middle of space.

"Two are mortals with divine legacies, but two possess divine souls." Gaia stepped out of the separated dimension after confirming the identity of the other party.

Only these two were worth mentioning because she couldn’t recognize the other two mortals even though they held divine legacies. She then looked at the red-haired guy and the blue-haired boy.

"Are you Ares and Odin? Wait, no. You are Odmes and Asbium from 4th Heaven, right?" Gaia guessed the other party’s name just from the divine aura of their souls.

"Greetings, Earth Goddess." Odmes and Asbium knelt down to pay their respects. The two people behind them also immediately knelt down.

"Well, You seem to have been following since yesterday. What do I owe this honor?" Gaia heaved a subtle sigh.

"Then, Mother Goddess. There are some things we don’t understand. Please bestow us with your wisdom!" The red-haired guy immediately stated his intentions without further ado. He emitted his faint divine power to summon Gaia overnight, and he knew Gaia would come to meet him in time.

"State your inquiry, Odmes." Gaia crossed her arms.

"Why did you choose to abandon Earth? What made you deviate from the heavenly principle’s plan?" Odmes looked up with a confused and annoyed look.

He and other Gods of Heaven spared no effort to repel the sudden invaders. Although they managed to save Heaven, many Gods of Heaven died and fell to Earth’s mortal world.

The situation in the mortal world was also not very good with countless mutated beasts and super monsters lurking everywhere, especially the ocean.

However, Earth suddenly lost Mother Goddess’ protection several days ago. She abandoned everything and everyone!

He had been thinking about it for several days with his comrades and fellow reincarnators from Heaven, but he couldn’t find the answer even though he had exhausted all possibilities.

It was why he went looking for Gaia to find the answer, but Gaia was very difficult to find and her divine aura was so faint.

’Uh-huh? Aren’t they the thieves on the border?’ Elena pointed at the four people from behind the separate dimensions.

’Mm, they are the same person. Apparently, they were after us to meet Gaia. They seem to know Gaia’s whereabouts because of this bracelet.’ Elysia rubbed Gaia’s bracelet.

"The answer to your question is simple. I have served my purposes and promises. It’s time for me to board the ship to ascend to the higher universe to follow our Creator God’s footsteps." Gaia heaved a subtle sigh and shook her head.

The two God reincarnators in front of her suddenly paled and looked at her like abandoned puppies, but she had already made up her mind to follow Elysia’s family to the higher universe.

"Then, at least, wait for us to stabilize the mortal world. Please don’t abandon us just like that!" Asbium gritted his teeth and accidentally snapped. But, he soon realized his mistake and immediately apologized.

"My divine decay has entered the final stage. I can’t stay for long, but you don’t need to worry because the current Earth will continue to prosper with my successor. Earth will enter the new era." Gaia’s gaze became tender, full of compassion.

She had entered the final stages of divine decay, but her contract with Elysia made her situation change more than expected. Her life and soul were tied to Elysia, and she no longer had to worry about meeting her demise.
