My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 614: Arrived Too Early
After teaching the students about the techniques specifically to counter the corrupted cursed creatures, Elysia sat on the spectator bench with her Goddess sisters, watching the students test the newly learned skills and familiarize themselves with the newly blessed anti-curse items.
"Milady, could you do a quality inspection this afternoon? We also need your blessings for the other anti-curse items." Yuna handed over the production report that needed immediate inspection.
"All the anti-curse items are still lacking the finishing touch." Lifa inspected the mass-produced anti-curse item set, and it reminded her of her crafted items before being blessed by Elysia’s divine power.
"Without the blessing, this one’s effectiveness can only reach half what it should be." Rhea nodded in agreement.
"Alright, we’ll do the inspection this afternoon." Elysia received the report with a subtle nod. She had to bless those anti-curse items as the finishing touch so her evil nemesis could strengthen the anti-curse effectiveness.
"..." Yuna observed Elysia more closely, and then at Elysia’s Goddess sisters.
The Elysium Pantheon was filled with Goddesses of various rare ethereal beauty, and it was as if Elysia only recruited the beautiful girls within the inner circle.
Although the Lord of Heaven also recruited first-rate Goddesses as his heavenly agents, the difference was visible... Elysia’s pantheon members were happy. Moreover, they could follow their master everywhere, and their master truly cared for them.
"Hmm..." Elysia tucked several strands of her long hair behind her ear as she skimmed through the report.
Elysia’s serene beauty was the embodiment of grace. As the most revered Goddesses, the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin was known not only for her divine beauty and wisdom but also for her firm sense of justice.
"..." Yuna pondered about it, but she felt that Elysia had a lot of things that she didn’t have.
"Are you bothered by something, Yuna? Why are you staring at Ely with that kind of complicated gaze?" Elena poked Yuna’s cheek. She could understand if Yuna was bewitched by Elysia’s charm, but she wouldn’t allow the long stare.
"Ah, no. Everything is alright." Yuna took a step back and averted her gaze while waving her hand to deny it.
Elysia closed the report and looked at Yuna’s troubled expression more closely. "Hm? Hmm... Things feel a little bit off to me right now. Is everything all right? Are you okay, Yuna?"
"..." Yuna felt Elysia’s concern was comforting and reassuring. It encouraged her to immediately tell her problems and confide. Yet! She recalled it, and she previously asked for a similar concern to her lord, but she didn’t see her lord get comforted by it. The vibe was different!
Yuna smiled at the realization and then shook her head. "It’s alright. Thank you for your concern, milady."
"Hm, if you encounter problems and don’t know who to tell, we’re always open to you." Elysia felt Yuna’s mood was a bit messed up, but she couldn’t force it if Yuna didn’t want to talk.
"Agent White here, what’s up?" Yuna put her hand on her ear because one of the heavenly agents who stood guard outside the realm portal contacted her. It apparently required her presence and she had to excuse herself from Elysia.
*Rumble!*
He-Dao and the two 17th Rank Primordial Gods managed to destroy the Nirvana Abyssal Demon Sovereign replica with great cooperation and satisfactory results. Thanks to the anti-curse items and new counter methods, they managed to come out unscathed.
The moment they emerged from the Abyssal Space Trial, the other Gods and Immortals immediately congratulated them on their amazing results.
"Congratulations on your impeccable result." Elysia clapped her hands, sharing everyone’s joy.
But, she then thought about something else. If everyone was satisfied with just a mere replica, then the Divine World, especially the Heavenly Realm would be doomed. Fortunately, He-Dao and the other seniors knew about it.
"You need to train harder. What we are facing here are just replicas and artificial monsters created by the Supreme Goddess to help us deal with the Nirvana Abyssal Demons, especially their curses. Don’t take this training as a literal benchmark, but use it to prepare yourself better." He-Dao reminded everyone because he was fully aware that the dangers in the Corrupted Nirvana Realm were far more dangerous than anyone could imagine.
"Ugh, you’re killing the mood, my lord. Can we just celebrate the first flawless victory against that guy?" Amy pointed at the newly recovered demon sovereign of the Abyssal Space Trial.
Although it wasn’t her who beat it up with flawless results, she felt happy when that guy was beaten and destroyed by the three God Emperors even in the highest difficulty. Everyone had experienced the nightmare and hell of struggle in that space, bullied by that Abyssal Demon Sovereign replica...
"Haha, it’s okay to be complacent for a moment, celebrating a small success. We can strive for a better result next time."
"Hum, we should find a way to one-hit kill him. Before one of us manages to defeat that guy alone in under ten minutes, let’s say it’s still our loss."
The two Immortal Kings who assisted the Lord of Heaven responded positively. Their mood was good because they finally achieved a fairly satisfactory result after a week of stalemate.
"Hm?" He-Dao suddenly received a notification from Yuna. His complexion gradually changed from wonder to dissatisfaction. He then walked over to Elysia and spoke in a whisper. "We need to talk right now."
"Uh? Okay..." Elysia didn’t know what happened, but she followed He-Dao out of the Training Hall Space, followed by her Goddess sisters.
Several heavenly agents were already waiting outside the portal. They saluted He-Dao before they looked at Elysia.
"Did something happen?" Elysia asked with worry.
"Elysia, did you invite outsiders to the Heavenly Palace?" He-Dao crossed his arms.
"Hm, I invited the Glorious God and his Council of Gods for a meeting. However, I haven’t notified him to come here yet. It’s still early, and I’m still teaching as a teacher... Wait, are they already here by chance?" Elysia recalled regarding the appointment, but she then gasped because the guests might have arrived even before her notification.

"Why didn’t you tell me about this?" He-Dao frowned.
"But, you already know about the summoned heroes and everything involving them..." Elysia tilted her head slightly.
She knew He-Dao was often watching her movements. She and her family even had to put up layered barriers during their private moments so that no one could observe them from anywhere, especially He-Dao.
"Not everything. You tell me now. What business do you have with that guy and his group." He-Dao pressed for an answer, displeasure was clear in his voice. He didn’t want to admit it, but he really didn’t like it when Elysia invited other guys specifically. Not to mention, the appointment was in his palace!
"Hmm, so they came too early, huh... The situation is actually like this." Elysia put her hand on her chin and explained the situation since the host had to know about it.
After a brief explanation about the crux of the matter, He-Dao felt relieved for some reason. "So, you and your sisters wished to demand for an explanation since they summoned the heroes from the world under your jurisdiction without permission?"
"Yeah, and he needs to clean up the mess he caused. We will drag him down to the mortal world so he can act as the very hero of humanity that he is so proud of, directly participating in the war against the Demon King of Extreme Evil." Elysia crossed her arms and nodded with a humph, feeling a little annoyed.
"Haha, I see. Then I’ll allow it. Be sure to notify us beforehand of whatever your matters are in the Divine World, alright?" He-Dao laughed lightly, amused by the situation Elysia was in.
"My Lord... isn’t the Demon King of Extreme Evil the great evil who half-ascended into immortality, but stayed in the mortal world. He challenged the Heavens three thousand years ago. He was slain and sealed by Agent Brown during her secret mission in the Chthonic World." Yuna recalled about it and brought it up.
"Yes, what Agent White said is true. He was slain by me, but I couldn’t kill him completely under the mortal world’s restrictions. Therefore, I sealed him for eternity. Unless the world’s veins are destroyed, he and his army can never escape the sealed demon city." Agent Brown nodded in confirmation.
"E-eh? So, it’s you, not a wandering ancient immortal... But many of his demon armies enter and exit the seal at will. They kidnap the nearby tribes and keep many creatures as livestock." Elysia gasped in surprise.
"I guess, my seal has weakened or it can only bind the strong demons." Agent Brown pondered about it. She then knelt before her lord right away. "My lord, please pardon me for my failure in handling this side quest. Please give me your orders. This servant shall personally exterminate this vermin and surely kill it."
"No. We should follow Elysia’s arrangement. The Glorious God invested a lot in that hero plan, and he is the one who will slay that demon for good sake." He-Dao raised his hand, making Agent Brown return to her feet.
"But, that demon can defy the common sense, standing at beyond mortal level despite the restriction. The Glorious God is merely a 13th Rank God from the third-rate faction. He has no way to kill the Demon King of Extreme Evil." Agent Brown voiced her reasons.
"Hmm-mm, he sent many warriors and heroes as meaningless sacrifices in the past four hundred years." Yuna opened her grimoire to check some necessary information.
"I believe Elysia already has a plan for it. If he is unworthy and can’t provide a good explanation to her, is there a reason to keep him around?" He-Dao faintly smiled.
Elysia was unaware that He-Dao intended to kill the Glorious God and destroy the Glorious Council of Gods if the said person couldn’t satisfy her causes.
"..." Elena, Gaia, and Lifa could guess He-Dao’s intentions, but they chose to remain silent for the time being.
"I’ll notify him first." Elysia considered her weekly class as the divine teacher was not over yet and it was a bit wrong to go to meet the Glorious God now. So, she sent a notification letter about their meeting time in the afternoon, and He-Dao approved it.
