My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 390: Sharing Tasks

"Woah..." Miko shielded her eyes from the bright sunlight. They arrived at the fancy airport on a Cube Island, floating several tens of meters above the sea surface!

"Welcome to Earth." Gaia welcomed Elysia’s family members with a smile. They were still as lively as ever, and she could see lots of new faces.

"Glad to meet you again. Welcome to the family." Fortuna held Gaia’s hand with some relief.

"So, this is Cube Island. The advanced dungeon-type artifact from the Divine World. Master, may I install super AI to assist the existing system? Do you also need some mechs and dolls as officers?" Xentia was pretty excited to take part in developing the technology to make Earth free again.

"Yes, please. Your help will be very helpful. Please connect to Cube. I have given you the authority." Elysia tapped her virtual screen.

A cube-like robot hologram popped out before Xentia. "Welcome to Cube Island, Administrator Xentia. What are your orders?"

"Hum-mm~ Are we going to develop the super AI to manage everything through this place?" Lyla tried to guess Xentia’s intentions as she knew Xentia had a tendency to monitor almost everything.

"Mm." Xentia nodded and accessed the Cube Island’s system.

"Super AI?" Ai tugged the hem of Elysia’s dress, pointing at her face. She wondered if it had something to do with her or something else.

"What Xentia means is artificial intelligence. It is similar to ES Nirvana’s system, the virtual mind and consciousness that works under Xentia’s authority." Elysia chuckled lightly.

She then introduced Gaia, Erina, and Mio to everyone.

"Hehe, glad to see you safe and sound, Erina. So, you will pretend to be injured to ensure your retirement from WUF, hum-mm... Why does this organization sound like a barking puppy? It’s woof, woof!" Sylvia floated around Erina, feeling it was good to invite their old friend into the family.

"You really become a super lady, the wonder woman, Mio." Evelyn was amazed while checking Mio’s bulky appearance. She couldn’t help but remember the gym rats back at the magic academy.

"Fufu~" Lifa covered her mouth as she couldn’t contain her chuckle. Nell, Fortuna, and Elena had a warm conversation with Gaia. However, Gaia was still looking a bit shy and anxious since the current Gaia wasn’t a clone or avatar, but one’s true body.

"The sea is vastly beautiful and deeply abundant." Dory peeked into the ocean below, finding countless exotic sea creatures around.

However, those sea creatures were mutated beasts and the otherworld’s monsters. Anyone below 4th Rank would most likely not survive two hours if thrown into the ocean.

"Don’t jump into the sea. We still haven’t cleaned the area and disciplined them." Yae flew around Dory’s head and gently pulled Dory’s long pink hair.

"Alright. I’m just looking around. So, shall we clean up the sea and impose the rules on them first?" Dory extended her hand to the caring pink fairy on her head and Yae landed on her palm.

"We need to wait for further instructions. We are affected by the Earth’s new world laws and suppression. But, yes. They need to behave or they will become seafood." Yae’s eyes sparkled with interest.

"!!!" The curious fish near the sea surface were startled as they caught the predatory glare from above the mysterious floating giant cube. They immediately dived into the sea for their lives.

"Oh, dear... It’s so hot here. Are most areas on Earth this hot during the day?" Ella took out her parasol, feeling like she couldn’t stand the exposure to the hot sun for long.

"Uhm..." Yuuki nodded in agreement. She cast her ice-cold magic to cool the air temperature and created a cloudy mist to block the sun flare for everyone.

"Our vacation will start from here, but we need to invite the otherworld monsters first for tonight’s event. For those who want to stay under the best five-star treatment while waiting for us to return, please raise your hand." Miko clapped her hands for attention.

"I- oops." Sylvia misheard Miko’s words. She was about to raise her hand, but immediately pulled it back.

In the end, no one raised their hands. Even the little dragons also wanted to participate in disciplining the otherworld monsters.

"Zera, how do you feel?" Elysia checked Zera’s condition. This Chaos Goddess of Destruction was so quiet after the extreme training in the Diaphthora Realm, and that made her worried.

"Everything is fine, Ely." Zera held her arm and looked aside, feeling a bit down for no apparent reason.

"I’m open if you want to tell me anything." Elysia held Zera’s hand and expressed her sincere concern.

"Uhm, Maybe, I just feel a bit confused because of the corruption." Zera looked at her hands and stared at Elysia’s mesmerizing mystic purplish-blue eyes. "Master, let me enter your shadow."

"Alright." Elysia pointed her hand at her shadow, inviting Zera.

"Hm?" Ai felt unsafe and immediately followed into Elysia’s shadow. It was her exclusive spot!

"Phew..." Zera somehow felt relieved inside her master’s shadow space.

Elysia smiled in amusement at Ai and Zera’s little rivalry in her shadow. She then waved her hand to everyone. "Everyone, should we go inside for a little tour. It’s our Guardian of Dream’s new facility on Earth."

"Wonderful~" Luna put her hands together.

Lynn, Ariel, and Yusagi still felt a little dizzy because of the dimensional turbulence during the long-distance world crossing.

Miko’s core disciples were also still dealing with their nausea because it was their first time entering the dimensional warp to go to the distant other world.

Therefore, Elysia had to heal them before they could tour the Cube Island.

After the tour and a lively family lunch, it was time to meet the monster leaders in the lower sphere.

"There are twenty-seven SSS-level overlords in the lower sphere. Of all the invitations that have been sent, only two have accepted the invitation and one has rejected it. For the rest, they still haven’t responded." Gaia showed the list to Elysia.

"Hm?" Elysia checked the list while stroking and pampering her fluffy friends on her lap.

Vanessa, Yuuki, Luna, Lynn, and Yusagi took advantage of the relaxed situation to recharge their Elysium intake with lots of their master’s caresses and pats.

"We can ignore those who have refused. That one will regret it sooner or later. But, Ophelia Phylum hasn’t responded yet, huh..." Elena stroked her chin as she observed the list.

"Should we enlighten them to join tonight’s gathering event?" Sylvia was ready for action.

"Hm... Two of them are risk-takers. Unlike the humanity side, they don’t know about the Guardian of Dream."

"We need at least half of monster supreme leaders to attend tonight’s event."

"Then, let’s enlighten them."

The girls were eager to convey their understanding to the ignorant monsters about the opportunity that had been presented in the form of the invitation.

"Wait. They don’t have a good impression of humans. If we need to take action, then it would be much better for the non-humans to do it." Gaia interrupted in the middle, offering her advice.

"That makes sense." Elysia nodded in agreement.

She asked her fluffy friends to transform back to their human form and then split the group into two.

The human and human-like members with little to no ’monster’ features would stay with Xentia and Lynn for several things related to Cube Island.

The ones who would go on missions in the lower sphere were the demi-humans with demon or monster-related features.

Yuuki, Sylvia, Luna, Lynn, Yusagi, Dory, Morfina, Yae, Jophiel, and Remiel were chosen for the team two. As for the rest, except the Goddesses and dragons, would stay on Cube Island to help Xentia as team one.

"Divine Master, I beg your pardon. I am a half-devil too, but why am I grouped in team one?" Azrael stepped forward, not understanding why he and his half-human juniors were excluded. It was a bit unfair for only Jophiel and Remiel to get an important mission.

"We don’t need many people for this invitation mission. Also, we need to clear this region from harmful variables and discipline the surrounding monsters before night falls. This mission is more crucial than team two. We also need lots of seafood for dinner. Do you still want to go to team two, Azrael?" Elysia replied with a gentle smile.

"O-oh, then it’s okay..." Azrael rubbed his head and gave up his intention to jump to team two. Everyone held an important role, and he had to perform well in the team.

"Fufu~" Miko covered her mouth gracefully. Azrael was so eager to impress her mama.

"Hehe, Erina~ Did you know that Ella is a 9th-generation angel under the Goddess of Blessings? Uriel-chan also has half an angel bloodline flowing in her blood. Gabriella-chan, Rafaela-chan, and Camael-chan also have a little angel bloodline. Ah, and also Xentia! She is the angel of destruction." Miko whispered softly near Erina’s ear.

"E-eh?" Erina shivered at Miko’s soft breath. Miko served as Elysia’s avatar with the young Elysia’s appearance.

She still felt a little unusual to find two Elysia around, but she felt happy about Miko’s presence because it meant Elysia didn’t want to leave her behind.

"Dory, would you like to take the lead to conquer several calamity beasts? They have been causing chaos lately and making Gaia restless. The super overlord beasts will be under your command for this mission." Elysia held Dory’s hand.

Dory widened her eyes. She understood this mission would mean that she received the most important role among everyone. Considering she barely has any achievements compared to others, she could use this opportunity to redeem herself!

"It’s my honor, master!" Dory replied happily.

Because their targets were the SSS-level super monsters, and there was also one close to godhood, Elysia appointed three Godly dragons and would dispatch all calamity beasts in the Helven Realm for this mission. Her Goddess sisters also volunteered to assist Dory.

"You are the one who made Ely consider this, but you won’t participate?" Fortuna asked in wonder.

"I’ll pass for this." Gaia didn’t dare to come along because her presence would drive the primary target crazy. After all, Hydragon obviously still held some grudges towards her and Heaven.

"Do we need to kill them?" Lixue felt a bit reluctant to carry out an underwater mission, but he had to get the job done nonetheless.

"If possible, recruit them to our calamity beast army in the Helven Realm. Their existence is too dangerous for Earth. You can do whatever it takes. Dory will be the leader and spokesperson on this team. Her magical voice and her mermaid race will be very helpful." Elysia glanced at Gaia and received a nod in response.

"Please be careful on your journey. Avoid fighting if possible." Miko waved her hand.

"We’ll be back before nightfall." Elysia waved her hand.

"Please be safe, master." Xentia represented the first team to respond to the farewell.

*Poof*

The second team and third team vanished from the vicinity with a poof. The former went to the lower sphere, and the latter teleported to the nearby calamity beast’s lair.

Only the first team led by Xentia remained. Xentia then turned around, facing everyone. "The guests who will change the world according to our master’s plan will arrive tonight. We need to do some cleanup and discipline the monsters around here. Please hunt some seafood for dinner as well."

"Yes, ma’am!" The team one’s members saluted and carried out their seafood hunting game.
