My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 451: The Earliest to Receive the Notification

"Black dragon!" Nara waved her hand in greeting. The first person who gained her full interest was the demonic black dragon, Sylvia.

"I didn’t expect your family’s sudden visit, dragon king." Arthur shook Kazuma’s hand.

"This isn’t a formal visit, but my daughter is so eager to meet her dragon friend and Goddess Ely. Hmm?" Kazuma looked around, but he couldn’t spot Elysia’s whereabouts.

He found the Goddesses and the entire divine group’s members around the dinner table. Several new faces were present, but no Elysia!

"Erm, may I know who the lovely white-haired young lady over there is? Why are the Goddesses gathered around her?" Azumi asked in a whisper-like voice to Queen Amelie.

"Uhm, if I hadn’t been told beforehand, I wouldn’t have been able to recognize her either. She is none other than Goddess Elysia herself, but she is still her devil disguise." Amelie felt a little embarrassed herself, but she still didn’t understand why Elysia still pretended to be a white-haired devil.

"Oh my, who do we have here? Are you a good girl?" Sylvia crouched down to greet the adorable little dragon girl.

"Nara is a good girl!" Nara raised her hands.

"That’s such a relief then. As a good dragon girl, you have the right to get a souvenir from us." Sylvia presented a box to Nara.

"Gift! Thank you, kind black dragon sister. But, where is Elysia? She’s our Goddess too! Nara needs to greet her and pay her respect." Nara looked around but she couldn’t spot Elysia anywhere.

"Hmm, I’m here." Elysia beckoned to Nara to come closer.

"Elysia! Nara pays her respect to the Divine Goddess." Nara leaped in front of Elysia and bowed respectfully like a noble lady.

"Fufu, you don’t need to be so formal. You can open the gift box. You’ll definitely like it." Elysia covered her mouth gracefully.

"Mm!" Nara spoke nothing more and immediately opened her gift box. She found several items in it, but she was more intrigued by the delicious-looking candy bars.

"My apologies for our daughter’s eagerness. She is so eager to meet you." Azumi held her daughter close.

"It’s fine. She is an adorable and fine young dragon princess." Elysia waved her hand as she didn’t mind such an attitude.

Kazuma and Azumi then exchanged some pleasantries with Elysia and Goddesses. A few moments later, Alexander entered the room with his entire family.

"Master Ely, please take a look at my baby brother." Ella carried a little baby boy and brought him close to Elysia.

"Hm?" Alexander raised his eyebrows. He was a bit surprised because his granddaughter revered Elysia as the master in the Goddess of Blessings’ presence.

"Such a cute little boy. He will grow up to be a great person in the future." Elysia stood up to hold Ella’s little brother.

"Yes, his name is Ernest Celestine, someone with qualities of depth and firmness in justice." Ella was super happy.

She handed him over to Elysia with tender care. Her little brother was only a few months old and could barely do anything.

"Waa!" Ernest raised his hands, staring at Elysia’s face without blinking. It was as if he couldn’t look away from those purplish-blue mesmerizing eyes.

"Ernest, hmn? You will live your life as an earnest person. You shall uphold the justice for a good cause." Elysia raised her finger and pressed the baby boy’s forehead.

She cleansed the remaining curse on the Celestine Family’s successor, ending the bloodline curse in this generation. The next generation did not need to suffer or worry about anything anymore.

"???" Ella clasped her hands in prayer, but she wondered why Elysia suddenly glanced at her.

"He’s asleep." Elysia was relieved. Ella would be the last generation to carry the cursed angel’s bloodline.

This curse would only affect female offspring, but Ella was more or less good enough to withstand everything under her auspices.

"It’s good for you. Celestine Family is blessed." Nell somehow felt both relieved and sad.

For the next generation, the Celestine Family would no longer have the bloodline of her angel ’Celestine’ flowing in their blood.

Her divine angel’s legacy ended in Ella, and nobody had to suffer anymore. Under Elysia’s care, Ella would wield the cursed divine angel power without having to worry about any setbacks.

From now on, the Celestine Family would prosper for their ancestor’s sake as well.

Ella and her parents expressed their gratitude. Unfortunately, only Alexander could comprehend the truth. That was something even the Goddess of Blessings was helpless about.

Under certain circumstances, the female descendants of the Celestine Family would go crazy and lose their minds to a certain point because of the angel bloodline flowing in their veins. That was why the female descendants in the Celestine Family were required to become nuns, serving their Goddess for life. That was done to prevent their insanity, and that was also the reason they never had a good ending.

Alexander was about to kneel in front of Elysia, grateful because his granddaughter didn’t have to suffer. However, Elysia prevented him from doing so.

"Ella is my priestess. I will take good care of her." Elysia helped Alexander to stand up.

"Words alone are not enough to express my gratitude and respect. Ella is so fortunate to encounter such a blessing." Alexander wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"You look really ugly when you cry, father. Anyway, why are you suddenly getting emotional?" Alfred, Alexander’s biological son and also Ella’s father, was clueless about the reason. Yet, he took the opportunity to mock his strict father.

"Huh? Are you that thirsty and want to undergo some kind of hellish training again? You will never be able to leave before a full round of training sessions." Alexander frowned, but he still put his stance under control.

"Oh, good heavens... Never mind, I said nothing." Alfred paled instantly and took a safe distance from the angry pope.

The dinner then continued with everyone’s presence. Ella was the happiest one in the group, but it reminded Dory of her grief over the divination related to the Lorelei Clan’s demise.

"Everyone, attention, please." Elysia tapped her finger on the table.

Once everyone’s attention was on her, she continued with her speech. "We will inform you sooner than anyone else. Tomorrow morning, we’ll send an invitation for a grand meeting the day after tomorrow. This is related to the world boss raid."

"By world boss raid... are you referring to the Polluted Sea God?" Kazuma raised his hand.

"Precisely. It’s time to put an end to her ambitions. The Polluted Sea God will be punished this week." Elysia stated her intention, shortly and clearly.

It was a notification, not a confirmation of approval. Regardless of what the other faction leaders would think, the decision remained absolute.

"I think, the ones involved in the soul core fragment and core shards farming will provide strong resistance. After all, those resources are as useful as stardust." Alexander stroked his beard.

"It doesn’t matter. They can withdraw, but those are their losses. This is a massive harvest and punish the evildoers, now or never." Dory stated her response in Elysia’s stead, exuding the aura of a war expert.

"Well, I guess it’s about time. Those who are disobedient are going to get some painful spank." Kazuma grinned as he could imagine what those people would receive if they opposed Elysia’s command.

Unfortunately, those people had yet to know about the divine group’s return. So, some selfish people would suffer for sure.

"Ara~ This will be interesting." Ashera leaned her cheek against her hand, smiling faintly as this grand meeting would be entertaining.

"Elven Empress Ashera? Why did I fail to notice you were here?" Arthur gasped in surprise. Elf ladies were as beautiful and enticing as always, especially because they always wore that kind of skimpy dress and exposed a lot of skin!

"Oh, this is the first time someone failed to notice my presence. The Goddesses are so bright as usual." Ashera was amused, but she didn’t take it as an offense. She sipped her wine gracefully, knowing the Goddesses could overshadow anyone with just their presence.

"Where are you staring, dear? Isn’t that a bit rude?" Amelie twisted her husband’s ear, feeling a bit dissatisfied.

Her figure might not be as attractive as the Elven Empress. It was hard to admit, but she didn’t want her husband to eye another woman. The Goddesses were already an incomparable divine threat, so she didn’t want anyone else to enter the consideration.

"What, no. I’m not staring anywhere." Arthur pretended to be ignorant and looked aside.

It was fine to appreciate beauties, but he had to do it like a gentleman, especially because he had his wife by his side right now...

A few moments later, Elysia excused herself. The Goddesses and some of her people went with her.

Elven Empress, Fairy Empress, Hea, Celes, and some of the Elysium Family’s members stayed in the room as they still had something to discuss regarding the world boss raid. Celestine Holy Family, Griffith Royal Family, and Aozora Dragon Family received prior notice regarding this information, and it put them as special members who got the earliest information than the others.

"I have something to say." Dory opened the discussion that night as she would take the helm to lead the army.
