My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 386: One Step Ahead

"The world’s future will be in your hands, young generation. Heavenly principles have changed, and the 3rd apocalypse will open a new era, not wipe out galactic civilization as recorded in the Book of Destiny." Gaia expressed her farewell, handing over the future and responsibility of the world to the heroes.

"Please wait! Can you please elaborate on where you are going? Who are those with you?" Odmes stood up, trying to stop the Mother Goddess from leaving. However, he remembered that he had no power or say if he had already decided.

"Oh, I almost forgot. They are Goddess Ely and her sisters. They are the ones who helped us to save the Heaven and world from that Ruvoid God and the heavenly betrayal incident five years ago. I will be with them." Gaia waved her hand.

"Huh?" Odmes was stunned and glanced at his friend.

That incident was still vivid in their minds. It was the dangerous entity that wreaked havoc on Heaven five years ago. The Ruvoid God, the existence that triggered the betrayal of dozens of high-level Gods, and also caused Heaven’s heavenly laws to weaken.

However, that evil creature was so afraid of Goddess Ely, the divine being from the higher world. Since the greater divinities returned to visit Earth, then everything might be fine!

"Hum, if you want to hold a meeting, then don’t do it like the previous action. We will mistake you for a petty robber, and might eliminate you accidentally." Elysia revoked her dimensional barrier.

She thought these reincarnators and chosen heroes wanted to talk to Gaia privately because of something important, but they only asked for clarity about Gaia’s absence.

"!!!" Odmes, Asbium, and their chosen heroes gasped in surprise when three unparallel, ethereal Goddesses emerged from behind the void before them.

They held their breath and looked down reflexively as if they didn’t dare to look at the heavenly beauties for long for fear of offending the other party.

"It’s our honor to be blessed with your grace, Goddess Ely. Please forgive us. It was a mistake on my part. It was so difficult to detect the Mother Goddess, and when we sensed she was nearby, we could only think of stopping your car at all costs. What if we would pay the compensation with a new car?" Odmes bowed respectfully.

Since his group’s first impression wasn’t very good, he had to improve it immediately. Moreover, the divinities in front of them were the Goddesses with a level that might be equal to or stronger than the Mother Goddess. He had to put his group on Goddess Ely’s good side.

"I appreciate your apology and I forgive you, but you don’t need to compensate anything. You can continue your mission to save humanity. We’ll bring peace to this world, and I hope you can help and support us." Elysia nodded slightly.

She then chatted with Odmes and Asbium a bit to broaden her connection to the reincarnators of Heaven. The nearby chosen heroes were also pretty decent, but she didn’t pay much attention to them since they were Odmes and Asbium’s respective minions.

"Please pardon me, Your Grace. But, my group and allies only have eight. As for the others, they move independently and have their own goals." Odmes apologized when Goddess Ely asked more about the other reincarnators from Heaven. He only had eight reincarnators in his group, including himself.

"I see. All is good as long as you move according to our plan to make Earth great again. Well then, we will build Cube Island to be a mediator place. You’ve received the invitation, right? See you again tonight." Elysia nodded in understanding and waved her hand in farewell.

She and her Goddess sisters then vanished. Odmes’ group was also sent out to the outside world.

"Such peak level existences. What divine title do they have to possess such a power?" One of the chosen heroes muttered softly in relief. It truly put him under a lot of pressure just to be in front of the divinities.

Mother Goddess was already a pressure, but her boss said she had been weakened. However, those three Goddesses were far and beyond the strongest divinity on Earth!

"I don’t know, and I’m also curious. However, always watch your attitude towards their group. Let’s put our plan in motion to help them make Earth great again." Odmes sighed, gripping the steering wheel while looking at the Minamoto Mansion in the distance.

"Boss, what if we wipe out the monsters in the lower sphere? We have a powerful and powerful group backing us now." The other chosen heroes voiced the idea.

"You stupid head. Didn’t you hear Goddess Ely’s warning, Shin? We will die if that happens. The situation is too complicated to explain, but a large-scale battle must not occur." Odmes smacked his chosen hero with a rolled-up newspaper.

"Ouch, sorry. Then, will you leave us and return to Heaven someday?" Shin held his head.

"It’s not that easy. It might take hundreds of years. Pursue longevity and become stronger. That way, you can still follow us everywhere. No chosen heroes get this kind of treatment. Don’t disappoint us." Asbium patted the two chosen ones on the back.

"..." The two chosen heroes nodded in understanding like obedient students.

Erina waited for a few minutes in her room like a good girl, but she became a bit impatient because it had been about ten minutes since Elysia left her.

Due to past incidents, she received a severe abandonment issue. She didn’t want to lose anyone she cared about again. However, she had to be a little patient because Elysia couldn’t possibly break their promise.

Elysia and her sisters emerged from the separate dimension, returning to Erina’s room. However, she found Erina was fidgeting on the bed, looking restless. "Oh-o~ Why do you look anxious, Eri-chan? Oh, are you perhaps holding in your pee?"

"Eh, ah!" Erina was surprised because Elysia suddenly appeared from behind. After Elysia said that, somehow she wanted to go to the toilet, but her legs were still weak. "Welcome back, Ellie. So, what about the intruders?"

"Everything is fine. They are apparently allies working behind the scenes, asking for some instructions. Come here. I will help you out." Elysia carried Erina to the bathroom.

"Sorry for the trouble..." Erina blushed. She would fully recover tomorrow and perhaps could grasp her new power too. However, this situation was so good for her. She might need to pretend to be injured and disabled in public for a little longer so Elysia would always take care of her.

"She didn’t turn into a mentally ill girl like the one you’re talking about." Ai murmured to Elena.

"Did I say that? Ely’s magical soul touch can turn even the coldest ice and evil darkness into obedient girls. Look at her. Our Ely actually has other powers as Goddess Tamer too." Elena smiled and whispered to Ai, but just enough for Gaia to hear.

"..." Gaia had nothing to say, but Elena made her feel like a tamed little animal. However, she did admit Elysia’s soul touch was truly something.

A few moments later, Mio brought news about Kenji’s invitation to the family breakfast. Therefore, Erina had no other choice. She asked Elysia and Elena to join her family for breakfast before they could leave for Cube Island.

However, Gaia and Ai were reluctant to take part in the breakfast. Gaia was about to return to the Nature Realm, but Ai dragged Gaia into Elysia’s shadow.

At the family breakfast, Kenji and his wife discussed several topics about the young Erina to Young Master El. Erina felt a bit embarrassed, but Elysia listened to everything with a smile.

"Hic, you look much more attractive without a mask, Master El. So, when are you going to propose to my daughter?" Kenji hiccuped, looking at his promising son-in-law with satisfaction.

"Hmm, Erina has been my person since five years ago, though? However, Sir Kenji, I think you need to be more prepared because we specifically invited you to Cube Island tonight as a representative of Minamoto Group." Elysia put her exclusive cutlery in the container and put her hands together.

"Everything is fine. My daughter will be there too for that." Kenji shook his glass casually.

"No, father. I will come with the Guardian of Dream. So, you need to choose two other trusted people as soon as possible to represent the Minamoto Group. Mio will also go with me." Erina shook her head.

"Huh?" Kenji gasped in surprise, but he soon regained his composure and smiled. "Alright then."

"Thank you for the food." Elena also put down her exclusive cutlery and put them in the same container as Elysia.

On Gaia’s advice, they were required to use exclusive cutlery. They were not allowed to leave any residue such as saliva anywhere. The reason was simple. They were the divine entities. Even their saliva could be used as elixir and treasure for the mortals to abuse.

"Hm?" Kenji noticed such an distinctive, intimate attitude from Young Master El and this holy angel. They even used the pair of exclusive cutlery!

He had been wondering about her identity since yesterday. But, it was perhaps his best opportunity to brought this matter up. "Please pardon me, Master El. But, may I inquire about who the angelic lady on your right is?"

"She is my sister. This is not your first meeting with her, though. She is the injured angel you tried to help in the Pacific Ocean five years ago." Elysia introduced Elena, and Elena nodded in reply. However, she didn’t mention Elena’s name because Elena didn’t want it.

"As I thought. Then, may I ask you one thing?" Kenji made a steeple of his fingers on the table and his expression became somewhat solemn.

"Sure." Elysia invited Kenji to ask questions.

"Do you know someone named Nozomi?" Kenji mustered his courage and risked it by mentioning his first wife’s true name. He looked at Master El’s sister with a profound gaze.

Elena could see Erina’s father harbored no desire other than curiosity despite staring directly at her unveiled face.

The question was polite, and he asked with a gentleman’s attitude. However, she didn’t know anyone named Nozomi. She turned to Elysia, and everyone was clueless. Erina also couldn’t recognize anyone named Nozomi.

’She is probably one of the fallen messengers, part of the Tennyo of Shinou in the 3rd Heaven.’ Gaia accessed her heavenly library to check the information and shared it with Elysia’s vision.
