My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 502: Expanded Domain

As the battle against the Polluted Sea God reached the next phase, the World Alliance’s fleet prepared to unleash their combined ultimate trump card attack.

The finisher move, the combined efforts of the warriors from every faction, would be fired as an opening attack to greet the Polluted Sea God’s second phase.

The command rang out across the communication channels, and all forces synchronized their efforts, channeling their power sources into a single, decisive strike.

High above the sky, the brilliant beams of light pierced through the air, illuminating the scene below. The fleet’s flagship of every faction had its massive cannons and magical arrays glowed with otherworldly energy.

The fleet’s flagships emitted a resonant hum. Their cannons aligned and locked onto the colossal form of the Polluted Sea God below. The Polluted Sea God sensed the impending doom. She roared defiantly, preparing to counter the power that might kill her.

"Fire." Lifa signaled everyone with a hand-down gesture.

"Holy Catalysm, fire!"

"Bloody Mary, disintegrate em!"

"Buster Call, slay the great evil!"

"Lunar Judgement, unleash!"

"Eclipse Burst, release!"

"Supernova Blaster, evaporize em!"

"Dragonic Apocalypse, burn them to ashes!"

"Armageddon Fury!"

Every leader of each faction shouted out their flagship’s ultimate attack. The flagships of every faction fired their strongest destructive move. Seven beams of god-slaying calamity struck the Polluted Sea God with the force of thousands of storms, followed by the continuous anti-demon assault, and the explosion was magnified by the super and hyper bombs. The combined destruction triggered the apocalypse-like scenery that seemed to shake the entire planet, enveloping the Polluted Sea God in a blinding cascade of light and fire.

The sea shook violently, and the air was filled with a chorus of explosions as the energy seared through the corrupted creature’s flesh. The Polluted Sea God sacrificed her arms to strengthen her force field as her countermeasure took a bit longer to cast.

Delora writhed in agony. Her defenses crumbled to pieces, but she grinned amidst the destructive power that began to engulf her body.

With a final, earth-shaking roar, Delora burned her blood and soul essence to unleash the divine power of corruption in response to the highly destructive beam of calamity.

The power that engulfed her in destruction and attempted to disintegrate her into particles split into two. A massive dark wave of spiraling energy of corruption exploded amidst the onslaught of everyone, turning the world into an expanded domain where time seemed to have stopped.

A crimson beam of calamity was unleashed toward the flying whale in the sky. Realizing something had gone wrong all of a sudden, Lifa forcefully tore down the Polluted Sea God’s influence upon her.

The others might take a few seconds to break free from the enemy’s constraint and mental attack, but time waited for no one. Lifa advanced toward the colossal monster below, confronting the crimson beam head-on. She raised her exclusive wooden blade high.

The Polluted Sea God roared and lunged at Lifa. Lifa’s sword sliced through the enemy’s corrupted flesh with ease. Each strike of her blade emitted bursts of holy light, searing away the darkness that clung to the corrupted creature.

Lifa moved with grace and precision, dodging Delora’s savage attacks, and countering with devastating strikes of her own. Her divine powers manifested in various forms. Her blinding beams of light, protective shields, and blasts of purifying energy tore through the corruption.

With the divinity that ruled over life and death, Lifa scraped the Polluted Sea God’s life force.

After the 10th clash, she channeled her divine power into one last, decisive strike. Her blade glowed with the divine light as she plunged it into the Polluted Sea God’s heart.

The Polluted Sea God convulsed violently as the blinding explosion of light and energy emanated from the point of impact. The dark energies were purged, and the Polluted Sea God’s colossal form began to melt.

As the light subsided, the battlefield fell silent. Lifa hovered mid-air, staring at the Polluted Sea God’s anguish.

"Is this the power of the once third strongest Goddess of the ancient era before her retirement? Don’t be too complacent as this isn’t even my final form. You may have succeeded in harming me, but you failed to protect the ones behind you." Delora was both shocked and terrified, but she still stood her ground.

With a move of her hand, the frozen destructive energies constrained in her surroundings, the might that could slay a God, got reversed by the expanded corrupted sea domain. The destructive force was returned to the sky with double the damage.

"!!!" Lifa gasped in surprise when she realized that. Delora’s aim was not to withstand her slashes, but to prepare the retaliation to eradicate the fleet in the sky in this time-frozen domain!

"I can’t make it!" Rhea hovered between the fleet and the approaching burst of reversed calamity. She got buffed by Nell and hastily activated her divine shield to dispel the damage.

Due to the lack of information about the enemy, they had to repeatedly test the depths. They only held information related to the original Sea God’s prowess, but the Polluted Sea God’s bottom line was still unknown.

They had to defeat the enemy in the third phase so they could use the helpless defeated enemy’s divine soul to guide them to the truth and also the original Sea God’s whereabouts.

However, the unexpected went for the worse in the second phase. They never underestimated the enemy, but who would have thought that the Polluted Sea God could unleash such a high-level desperate measure and reverse their finisher combined ultimate attack.

*Bang!*

The burst of reversed calamity crashed against Rhea’s prematurely activated protective shield.

Everything began to shatter to pieces. Lifa’s barriers and the fleet force field that served as the last defensive measures cracked in just one contact with the destructive energy splashes.

*Slap*

The dimension was torn from the outside and the burst of reversed calamity got twisted in the other direction. Zera emerged from the void and opened her mouth wide, sucking in all the destructive energy to her mouth, including the reversed calamity and the power of corruption from the time-frozen expanded corrupted sea domain.

Like a black hole in the vacuum dimension, Zera ruined the enemy’s laws and engulfed everything all for herself. Everything helplessly got sucked in, including the allies and the World Alliance’s fleet.

Yet, something knocked Zera’s head from behind all of a sudden, forcing her to close her mouth due to shock.

"That’s enough. I won’t allow you to devour our allies." Elysia raised her fist.

"So-rry?" Zera rubbed her head. Elysia’s fist was pretty painful, but she knew her mistake. She did something wrong because she almost swallowed her master’s subjects.

"Mast, hmm!~" Rhea was about to call out to her master due to excitement and relief, but she closed her mouth shut as she was not allowed to mention Elysia’s name right now.

"!!!" Delora gasped in shock.

Even though it was the strongest God and the combined power of the five Goddesses, nothing could withstand the power of corruption within the expanded domain imbued by her divine essence!

Yet, that little monster sucked everything with that tiny mouth. As for the newly arrived black-haired girl who knocked the terrifying little monster’s head, she could recognize that person. Elysia, the newly ascended Goddess was appointed by the other Goddesses to lead the divine group.

"Please pardon us, and continue." Elysia waved her hand. She grabbed Zera’s arm and entered the void tunnel that Ai opened for them. They vanished from the sky with a poof.

As the expanded corrupted sea domain shattered like broken glasses, the waters of the ocean began to return, flooding the dried seabed, and washing away the remnants of the destruction. Everyone also got freed from the time-frozen space.

Delora was still stunned, staring at the sky with a blank gaze.

Based on her knowledge, the enemies were only the combined armies of weaklings with dangerous weapons and the five Goddesses. Three local divine beings, and two from the otherworld.

She could still gain the upper hand even against the whole world, at least that was what she believed until just now. The five Goddesses had already entered her sight, but they were beyond her expectations, especially Elysia and the unknown dark Goddess. But, the Goddess of Light hadn’t even appeared yet!

It was not just the five Goddesses! She could no longer reckon the enemy’s true force. Nobody could tell what Heaven had prepared for her.

Run, and this time was for real. She could no longer win this battle in her current state. There was also a cooldown before she could unleash another ultimate attack.

When Delora turned around, about to dive into the deep ocean to escape, Lifa summoned a gold chain to hold the world boss in place as the battle hadn’t been over yet. "You won’t go anywhere."

"You are playing with me from the start?! Fck off!" Delora clawed empty air, releasing a desperate slash. When the enemy retreated a little, she spawned many water demon minions and summoned all corrupted sea monsters within a radius of 2000 miles to ensure her safe retreat.

She might suffer a big loss today, but she would make a comeback somewhere in the future. As long as she managed to survive, she could always exact revenge for today’s defeat and humiliation.

"Wales. It’s our second showdown!" Dory called out.

"Y-yes, ma’am!" Wales exerted his power over the sea. He blocked the seawater from the battlefield, creating a circular battleground 12 miles in diameter.

Walls of water more than 2 miles high towered all around, like the Dory’s showdown a moment ago, but this one was more expansive.

"The Polluted Sea God and her force are weakened! It’s time to put her ambition to rest! Everyone, follow our lead!" Dory shouted out loud. She leaped to the nearby dragon and dived down to the seabed below, followed by her comrades and calamity beasts.

The warriors from each faction responded to the call with a high morale. Since their advanced weapons, magic items, and warships were still on a long cooldown, then they also joined the close-range combat against the weakened adversary on the seabed below.

"I’m still weak in the face of the true divine power, huh..." Dylan looked at his hand. He felt truly helpless when the time seemed to have frozen a moment ago.

He could see the demise approaching, but he could do nothing about it. If it weren’t for the Goddesses’ interference, then the alliance would obviously suffer huge losses or perhaps be wiped out in that domain.

"My lord?" Sophia called out from the side.

"Never mind. Let’s wipe them out for good this time. Follow my lead! Glory to devils!" Dylan summoned his Devil Emperor Spear and leaped down with acceleration magic.
