My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 394: Fear of Waiting in Uncertainty

The last one to return was Dory’s team. Due to the vague coordinates and targets constantly moving away, the location shown by Gaia led them to nowhere.

They only managed to capture four SSS-level monsters. Other than Hydragon, the other three were beaten up by the calamity beast seniors before they could be disciplined.

"Please forgive me, master. We couldn’t find the other calamity monsters." Dory knelt down, apologizing before her Goddess Master.

"Our primary target is Hydragon. You convinced him without causing clashes. That is truly an impressive achievement, Dory. Gaia can feel relieved now." Elysia stroked Dory’s pink hair and then helped the kneeling mermaid to stand up.

"Mm, thank you, master." Dory blushed a little, feeling incredibly happy and proud to get direct appreciation from her master.

"Fufu, congratulations, Dory. If it were me or anyone else, maybe even Lady Gaia... we wouldn’t be able to pull out such a smooth capture like you did. Your voice magic is incredible." Evelyn congratulated Dory as she was also happy.

Dory was the only member with the least accomplishments, and that put Dory under some mental stress due to one’s incompetence. Therefore, she understood why Elysia gave that mission to Dory.

Ella, Sylvia, Lynn, and several other girls congratulated Dory as they also felt happy their family’s jolly pink mermaid no longer had to feel depressed.

"Mm, that was a smooth capture. Hopefully, he won’t be so angry in the future. Heaven’s decision to seal him wasn’t entirely my fault." Gaia twirled her long green hair, feeling innocent.

"..." Rhea was still in Elysia’s arms, holding Elysia’s dress tightly. She felt her role could be replaced at any time because of Gaia’s presence in the family.

Her power was the Nature Divinity, but Gaia could rule over the sky, sea, and earth. Broadly speaking, Gaia’s divinity held more authority than her, and considering her great flaws, she didn’t want Elysia to neglect and abandon her.

"Hm?" Elysia looked down at Rhea. Her little angel was so quiet and somewhat restless lately.

Although she could understand the reason, Rhea and Gaia were different existences and should not be compared with each other, let alone regarding one to replace the other.

They were irreplaceable and held their respective roles in the family.

"What’s wrong, Rhea baby? You know very well your position in my life and heart, right? Don’t let insecurity take over you. You are irreplaceable." Elysia whispered softly near Rhea’s ear and nibbled it a little.

"Eh, ah, uhm..." Rhea gasped in surprise, but the embarrassment soon took over her. Elysia’s reassurance was super effective, and it lifted the insecurity from her heart.

However, she still felt a bit embarrassed and immediately buried her face in Elysia’s breasts. She then whispered in her muffled voice. "Thank you, master."

Elysia replied with a tender smile and stroked Rhea’s long hair. At that time, the girls and the boys were exchanging information and talking about their recent activities.

Team One captured tons of seafood and cleared the surrounding area of any hostile creatures. They also disciplined the sea dwellers to obey the rules. Everyone within Cube Island’s proximity was prohibited from causing trouble.

Team two managed to convince 21 SSS-level super monsters in the lower sphere, but the six supreme leaders had already rejected the invitation and skipped the enlightenment session.

"Hehe, you know what? They were so arrogant at first, but once they tasted our pressure and after the first clash, they instantly became obedient." Jophiel was eager to show off her achievements to her fellow disciples, especially her seniors.

"It’s good they’re being so honest. If they were still stubborn and arrogant, it’s hard to say what would happen to them." Rafaela was amused by Jophiel’s antics.

"But, six SSS-level super monsters have already refused, huh. They will have a hard time sooner or later. It would be nice to see them beg to join the alliance. Ah, and we haven’t talked about other smaller regions yet." Gabriella covered her mouth as she had to hide her smirk.

"Ely, I heard you will face the Sovereign of Abyss and his armies in another world. Can you please elaborate more about your true plan for facing those abyssal demons? If the situation is like the previous interstellar war against the Ruvoid..." Gaia stated her request, but she didn’t finish her words after glancing at everyone’s expressions.

She wished Elysia could spare some time to discuss the crucial plan with all of Elysium’s members because they would be super worried if Elysia would fall or have to undergo the self-seal for years once again.

Everyone immediately fell silent. Any conversation and discussion instantly stopped, and they looked at Gaia and Elysia alternately.

Elysia’s Goddess sisters already knew the details, but Elysium members and Sacred Sakura’s disciples were still clueless about the unspoken.

"Ely, you said we were only there to help He-Dao and the Heavenly Alliance fight the Nirvana Abyssal Demons. Heaven Channel will be able to overcome the threats with their own power and our assistance, right?" Evelyn tugged the hem of Elysia’s sleeve.

She couldn’t bear to see Elysia seriously injured again. Waiting without certainty was so scary, especially if they had to be separated for years.

"We’ve talked about this, right?" Elysia tilted her head, feeling that Gaia triggered something and caused everyone’s worry.

"But, Lady Gaia said you have an unspoken plan, the true one." Ella also expressed her concern. In the last few weeks, she and Evelyn were the ones with the least interaction with Elysia.

She couldn’t have enough of Elysia, but she was patient because she had eternity with Elysia and everyone. However, if an incident like the previous Heavenly Star Fall phenomenon had to occur again, she knew everyone would choose to take Elysia away from danger.

After all, Elysia’s promise to He-Dao was to help him, not save Quadtria’s Divine World. If she could think of a solution, she would definitely propose the idea of sacrificing the Heavenly Realm, the 8th Heaven, for a dimensional collapse to kill all abyssal demons.

They could do it with Ai, Gaia, and Zera’s divine power. It would destroy Nirvana Realm, Heavenly Realm, and Nirvana Abyssal Demons altogether. The Heavens might burn for nobody cares, but Elysia must not be hurt.

*Flick*

Elysia gently flicked Ella’s forehead as she could feel Ella begin to think many chaotic things at once. "You went way off track, Ella. Alright. Let’s discuss the plan again."

Elysia then invited everyone to gather in a family room on the sixth floor.

"Please take a look at our role in the holy war in Quadtria’s Divine World. I will be here to neutralize the curse and corruption. As for our people, we will help the combatants from around here." Elysia made a projection, showing a war strategy scenario with her light magic.

She would seal the dimensional gap and create an anti-evil domain to boost everyone’s overall strength.

The Nirvana Abyssal Demons were weaker and less troublesome than the Ruvoid Race. Therefore, it would unlikely become a desperate battle. The only concern was the corrupted heavenly principle, the Sovereign of Abyss.

"If we need to pull the desperate measure. He-Dao will trigger the first one. The colossal calamity super monster will slaughter the corrupted monsters and try to destroy the realm in a supernova explosion." Elysia made a projection about how He-Dao would penetrate deep into Nirvana Realm’s core region.

He would trap as many corrupted demons as possible, including the Sovereign of Abyss, before escaping and sealing the dimensional gap with everyone. The artificial Seraph of the End would soon manifest from the cursed painting and did the purge before the supernova explosion engulfed the entire Nirvana Realm.

"What about the other desperate measure, mama?" Miko raised her hand. She already knew the answer, but she represented those who didn’t know.

"The next one is our final desperate measure. Sera will come to me soon. I have no other choice but to entertain her. If the situation is still chaotic, Sera’s arrival will destroy Nirvana Realm and all the abyssal demons. But, I don’t think I’ll be able to return before she’s satisfied."

Elysia showed the faint twelve heavenly wings crest on the back of her left hand. The command spell was already semi-active. Sera could come at any time.

She then made a steeple of her fingers, curious about everyone’s plans when she wouldn’t be there with them for an undetermined amount of time. "I don’t know when I can return from Boundless Realm. Everyone, I want to know your plans for this situation. Please tell me your ideas. Do you want to follow me by staying in Nature Realm, cultivate in the Divine World, stay at Sacred Sakura, or maybe another plan?"

"You say it as if it’s just you, Ely. Wherever you go, we will follow." Elena shook her head with a smile.

She drew the voices of Elysia’s Contracted Goddesses, and they would also follow wherever Elysia went, including Zera. Elysia might also need a God Mode Fusion. That was why they had to stay around Elysia.

"We might be thrown like the Heavenly Star Fall incident. Please let me stay in Nature Realm to follow you, master. If you need to freeze the time in the seal, we will go through it with you too." Yuuki stepped forward, expressing her unanimous decision as she knew it would be better to be in Nature Realm rather than waiting for uncertainty.

Vanessa, Sylvia, Ella, Evelyn, and all Elysium members took turns expressing their plans. However, their plans revolved around Elysia, similar to Yuuki’s decision. They didn’t want to be left behind.

"We..." Gabriella looked at her juniors with a troubled look. They wished to follow as well, but Sacred Sakura would be vulnerable without their Goddess Master and the elders.

"Please stay at Sacred Sakura while waiting for us to return. Heavenly Palace will protect Sacred Sakura during our absence. However, please keep this a secret. We still don’t know whether Sera is friend or foe." Miko patted Gabriella’s back, relaying her wishes to her disciples.

"Are you going too, master?" Jophiel asked with teary eyes.

"Yes. We can’t allow Sera to do as she pleases. She harbored no malice, but I hope she can become a friend." Miko shook her head. Even though it was a bit hard to leave her lovely disciples, she had to follow her mama for this.

"Master... it won’t be long, right? How strong is this Sera, to begin with?" Jophiel held her master’s hand.

"We will return as soon as possible. Chant your prayer later so we can return sooner. Sera is the strongest existence we have ever met. Mama barely won against Sera, but the final outcome... it was still a defeat." Miko shook her head and heaved a subtle sigh. The atmosphere suddenly became a bit heavy.

Gabriella and her fellow disciples tried to believe Sera was a friend, and not an opponent. An existence that could pose a threat to the Supreme Goddess was definitely something extremely terrifying, and this kind of existence would come to their Goddess Master soon!

"Oh my~ The situation is not like this. Sera yearned for some clashes and companionship. She is actually very lonely. I might be able to defeat her this time. We need to deal with the heavenly demons and their followers in the Quadtria’s mortal worlds. The world needs you. Can you please cleanse the world from the big evil, my lovely disciples?" Elysia came over and sat next to Miko.

"Yes. Leave this task to us, masters." Gabriella bowed respectfully, followed by her fellow disciples.

The atmosphere soon returned to relief and serenity. Everyone soon prepared themselves for the grand meeting.
