My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 552: Summoned Heroes Against Demon King

Vanessa’s case was much more complicated than Sylvia’s. Sylvia cultivated her power from scratch carefully and meticulously, supervised by the Devil Emperor. Apart from other help, Sylvia spent five years in Quadtria purely to strengthen herself and was already broken through to half-godhood before her true divine ascension.

As for Vanessa, she received the power transfer and legacy from her late father, the Beast Emperor. Even though she had already fortified her foundation during the last five years, her spiritual root was actually still one rank below her true cultivation power.

Not to mention, the spiritual sea in her dantian had yet to become one grand unity, still separated by multiple pools. She was also still at the mid-stage, two minor realms beneath Sylvia before the private assistance.

Regardless, as long as one had reached 10th Rank, it wouldn’t be impossible for Elysia to tweak the trick to help her people achieve godhood.

"Cultivation in the martial world and the world of magic is similar. To build a higher build, we need a stronger foundation or one’s future shall be sealed by a great limitation that leads to deviation, unable to progress anymore." Elysia stroked the winged white tiger on her lap, explaining softly.

"Mm." Vanessa nodded in understanding.

During the private assistance to fortify one’s foundation, she had to return to her true form as the winged white tiger. It was not her human form or cat transformation, but her true form, a proud winged white tiger, albeit in a cat-sized body.

"I’ll slowly reconstruct your foundation and empower it with the nature divinity. After that, we should gradually unite your separated spiritual pools into one grand unity." Elysia instructed Vanessa for the heads-up.

"I’m ready any time, master." Vanessa has prepared herself physically and mentally just for today. She closed her eyes and left herself completely under her master’s care.

Elysia smiled and put her hands on Vanessa’s tummy and back respectively, starting the first stage of the fortification.

The process might take some time because it aimed for the perfect result, but Elysia felt a bit lonely because, after the initial arrangement, all she had to do was gradually channel her divine power to nurture Vanessa’s dantian with nature divinity. Vanessa’s consciousness would do the rest in one’s spiritual sea.

"..." Elysia stared out the window. Her horse-drawn carriage had just arrived at the Human Realm’s border, and she trailed the border to the southwest with the Elysion Church as the destination.

She recalled about it, and she had yet to keep in touch with her disciples, the Apostles. Therefore, she tried to reach Gabriella to catch up with the situation.

’Gab-chan, how is the situation on your side?’

’Replying to master. Many factions want to destroy us now. But, please rest assured, master. We can resolve it flawlessly and ensure the Elysion Church takes root in this world flawlessly. The ignorants will be enlightened soon~’

Elysia asked, and Gabriella answered confidently. Since the situation on the other side was still under control, then Elysia was in no rush to provide assistance.

Or rather, it would be best if she entrusted the rest for her people to solve with superior combat power. It was always nice to play the strong, so the others would think dozens of times before any action. If nothing went wrong, no bloodshed would occur, and new good followers would come to the Elysion Chruch in droves!

With a new idea coming to mind, Elysia devised a new plan for her to carry out. Her roleplay would play a great part, but she had to cause some trouble for the others first and then show her prowess to make them respect her and the Elysion Chruch. In a world where the strong received all the respect, it was the only method to gain recognition the fastest.

"Then, I should use Sacred Sakura Holy Land’s name here. The powerhouses in this world may have never heard of Sacred Sakura, but it’s the charm." Elysia couldn’t help but smile. She felt like a villain because she devised an ’evil’ plan to cause some trouble for the locals, and then resolved it like a savior.

At that time, Elysia checked Elena and her avatars in the Elysian Realm because she wished to seek company.

She found Elena was so passionate about dancing with Miko and Megami. They even formed a girl band, a dancing group of three, practicing contemporary dance. However, she could see Miko was already tired.

"Oh, hi, are you watching us, Ely? What do you think about our performance?" Elena looked up with a smile full of enthusiasm.

"Uh, please let me rest a bit. Mama, please help me... Elder sister and I need to cultivate, not dance for hours..." Miko lay down on the floor, begging for immediate help.

’Mm, bad Elena. I need you. Come to my side now. Let Miko and Megami rest and cultivate.’ Elysia felt amused, but she also couldn’t let her avatars keep dancing. It had been an hour or two, and it was time to rest.

"Ah, okay then. I guess, I pushed them too hard. Even the spirit can become exhausted. Miko, Megami, thanks for dancing with me. You still have a lot to learn!" Elena waved her hand and vanished from the Elysian Realm, manifesting her form in the outside world to answer Elysia’s call.

"Phew, we’re finally free." Miko breathed a sigh of relief.

"..." Megami stretched out her hand, helping Miko up.

"Sister, I heard dual cultivation will produce twice the result with half the effort. Can we hold each other’s hands while meditating?" Miko proposed an idea innocently.

"Cough!" Elysia choked when she heard Miko innocently request it. It was just holding hands during meditation apparently, and she allowed it.

Thus, Miko and Megami sat cross-legged, facing each other and holding each other’s hands. They closed their eyes and went into a deep meditation.

---

"Ahem, if you are so passionate about dancing, how about a dance with me, dear sister?" Elysia offered her hand.

"With pleasure~ But, I wish it to be romantic on the dance floor, the waltz is good." Elena held Elysia’s arm, a faint smile of desire adorned her beautiful face.

"It’s my honor to dance with you, dear sister. But, we need a preparation for that. We should devise a stage for it first." Elysia brought her face closer to Elena’s.

"Mm, muah~ I’ll wait. Anyway, what are we going to do now? What fun are we doing today?" Elena kissed Elysia’s cheek and leaned closer, looking at the information from the floating grimoire.

Elysia blushed a little and changed the topic to her Sacred Heaven Grimoire. "We need to gather some information first."

"Wait, what is this? The quests are pretty weird." Elena blinked her eyes in surprise and pointed her finger at the strange quests in the list.

[Stop the Elysion Chruch’s crooked schemes][Reward: The calamity curse remains sealed]

[Help the summoned heroes from another world to kill the Demon King of Extreme Evil][Reward: Heavenly Demonic Arts]

[Execute the fake hero who sold his soul to the Great Demon][Reward: Burning in Unextinguished Soulfire]

[Reseal the otherworldly calamity that began to awaken in the most forbidden region][Reward: The Chthonic World’s extended peace]

Elysia checked the list in wonder. Some of the quests were relatively odd, and the reward wasn’t even appealing. The thing that concerned her was those four quests. The subtle notice also notified her that the two loose Immortals were also present in the Chthonic World, but she ignored it for now.

"..." Elysia looked at Elena and vice versa.

"Err... what is Elysion Chruch planning, to begin with? Their scheme is even included in the quest list." Elena scratched her head. She felt those disciples wouldn’t use any extreme measure only to secure the Elysion Church’s position in this world.

"We’ll catch up with them soon. If they somehow intend to unseal the curse, then we can still handle it. But, the heroes from another world? Someone summoned the heroes..." Elysia felt complicated by this information.

"The evil Demon King and the fake hero who sold his soul to the Great Demon..." Elena rubbed her chin while observing the two quests that looked like scams. These two quests would reward them with a penalty instead of a reward.

Elysia also pondered about it. She contacted Gabriella and pressed her first apostle to spill everything, leaving no detail behind.

Gabriella could do nothing about it and spilled everything to her master. Nothing had yet to be set in motion as everything was still in the plan and preparation stage.

’I see, so you will unleash the sealed plague and curse calamity secretly and resolve it under the name of justice. How does it impact the environment and living creatures?’ Elysia finally understood the scheme planned by the Elysion Church to turn the hostile forces into allies with a common predicament.

’Err, we will split the sealed curse calamity into several parts. We’ll purify the curse calamity for once and all. This is a noble purpose, and the impact will not be very severe in the initial stage. Based on history, the outbreak that occurred in the early stages was severe fever and bloody coughs.’ Gabriella felt a little embarrassed to explain it.

The method was pretty much despicable, but the plan was very good, considering they wanted to resolve everything peacefully. If they came to the rescue swift enough, casualties would be close to none.

’Please change of plan and turn it into Great Demon King’s subjugation instead. Let’s say the Demon King of Extreme Evil and the Super Evil Great Demon King of Hell shall emerge to harm the world, and the Elysion Chruch shall arrive as the world protector and justice enforcer. I will share the details soon.’ Elysia considered several things and shared her change of plans.

She also considered a similar evil scheme before, but upon careful consideration, it was very harmful. Things could go wrong at any moment. It would be best to let the curse calamity or any other dangerous things remain in their respective seals. If those calamities broke free from their seal naturally, then it would be a virtue if they resolved it, but if they deliberately caused it, it would be a sin instead!

’Yes, master!’ Gabriella was enthusiastic, and satisfied with her master’s arrangement because honestly, she felt wrong with the initial plan which somehow veered off course after Saint Daemyx spoke up.

Elysia asked Gabriella to wait patiently at the Elysion Church as she had to gather some info about the enemies first. The Elysion Chruch also had to postpone the new branch opening for a later date. Elysia then closed the telepathic pathway, looking at Elena with a smile.

"Let’s visit those summoned heroes and the extremely evil Demon King. Please dig up more info about them via the Sacred Heaven Grimoire, Ely." Elena rubbed her hands together. She didn’t see it coming, but the plot between summoned heroes against the Demon King was pretty nice.
