My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 615: The Lord’s Pressure

Today, Elysia’s mood was more solemn than usual. She had sent a formal invitation to the Glorious God. There was an urgent matter to be discussed, one that had caused ripples through the order.

The Glorious God had taken bold action, summoning heroes from the world under her pantheon’s jurisdiction and protection, and he had done so without her permission. Such actions demanded a proper explanation and accountability.

Yet, as she and her Goddess sisters prepared for this important meeting, another force was at play, an undercurrent of tension from someone else.

The Lord of Heaven, the ruler of all realms of Quadtria, decided to intervene. After Elysia told him about the situation, his displeasure was well-shown on his face.

He could tolerate how Elysia suddenly used his Heavenly Palace as a meeting place, but what Glorious God did displease him, especially since Elysia valued that guy.

As the meeting time was set, He-Dao couldn’t allow himself to stay on the sidelines. He called for the Glorious God before these guests could meet Elysia in the afternoon. With an aura of the highest supreme ruler of myriad realms, the Heavenly Emperor’s authority, he summoned the Glorious Council of Gods, all the nine Gods, to his grand heavenly hall.

The Glorious God Rhykdohr and his eight comrades, clad in shimmering armor, radiate an aura of chivalrous pride and grandeur.

They appeared before the Lord of Heaven nervously, but they hid it very well and entered the grand hall with an expression of confidence to answer the Lord of Heaven’s summon.

However, they had absolutely no idea why the Lord of Heaven suddenly summoned them right after the Sacred Sakura Goddess informed them about the meeting time in the afternoon.

The notice came pretty late, but they tolerated it because there was a particular event held in the Heavenly Realm. They arrived too early, but they could wait for the afternoon. After all, they had set off to visit the Heavenly Realm since yesterday because they thought the meeting would be held in the local time’s morning.

"Glorious God." He-Dao called out. His voice was calm, but there was a hint of cold tone. "You have overstepped your bounds by summoning otherworldly humans to the Chthonic World."

Rhykdohr stelled himself. He knew the rules of the Divine World, and while he might have pushed the boundaries by summoning heroes from the otherworld, he had done so with good reasons.

Although he still couldn’t connect the dots about why the Lord of Heaven intervened with his deal with the Sacred Sakura Goddess, the hero summoning shouldn’t be classified as a crime!

Still, the Lord of Heaven’s impromptu summons made it clear that this would not be a simple meeting.

Rhykdohr, although a bit nervous, remained unfazed by the reprimand. He stood tall, recalling the huge price he had to pay in the past hundreds of years just to keep his root domain in the mortal world safe. "I acted for the greater good, Lord of Heaven. The heroes are needed to face the looming threat that endangers more than the humanity of the Chthonic World. Time is of the essence, and we can’t allow such an extremely dangerous and evil variable to remain in our root domain for long."

He-Dao narrowed his eyes. His displeasure barely concealed. "You are not above the laws of the divine realms, nor can you act unilaterally in matters that affect other Gods. You must explain yourself."

There was a pause as the tension was thickening.

Rhykdohr was pressured by the Lord of Heaven’s aura, but he still didn’t understand why he received this kind of treatment. He would talk about it with the Sacred Sakura Goddess, but the Lord of Heaven’s response seemed to indicate that he had just committed a grave sin. He only tried to eradicate the sealed great evil in the mortal world left by a mysterious Ancient God thousands of years ago!

*Bam!*

Elysia opened the grand heavenly hall’s doors by force. Her Goddess sisters held Yuna and several heavenly agents so nobody would try to stop Elysia from meeting He-Dao and the guests from the Glorious Council of Gods.

"Excuse me, my lord. Please forgive me for my bluntness and rudeness, but did you skip the class? You even made your agents cover your absence. Also, why did you pressure my guests here?" Elysia demanded an explanation.

Since He-Dao wished to come along, they reached an agreement and they would go together to meet her guests after the class was over in the afternoon.

She felt bad to make her guests wait for her, but she couldn’t help it. She couldn’t just leave during her weekly class for long, or it would make her a bad teacher. But who would have thought He-Dao would sneak out while she was too occupied teaching her students, and what she found, He-Dao tried to intimidate her guests for some unknown reason.

"I’m here to measure their true intention deep within their hearts before they meet you." He-Dao looked at Elysia, then returned to glare at the nine guys of the Glorious Council of Gods carefully, the weight of his words heavy with unspoken meaning. "See that you do."

Rhykdohr felt a bit relieved to see the Sacred Sakura Goddess come to his aid. He then nodded at the Lord of Heaven. "I will speak with her. But please know this, my actions, while bold, were not without merit. I will face whatever judgment you deem necessary."

"???" Elysia felt a bit confused because she couldn’t truly comprehend what He-Dao and Rhykdohr said.

Since she was already there, she then beckoned her guests to follow her to the meeting room. It would be her and her Goddess sisters who would demand an in-depth explanation from these guys for summoning people from Earth. It was okay for He-Dao to attend, but he shouldn’t have intimidated the guests!

Although that was what she said in her mind, the moment they arrived at the meeting room, He-Dao suddenly pressed again. He crossed his arms and asked as if he was the judge of this matter. "Glorious Council of Gods, do you know what your crime is?"

"Crime?"

"What kind of crime did we commit?"

"We’re righteous ones. Is summoning the otherworldly heroes a sin?"

Rhykdohr frowned. This time, his comrades also spoke up as they felt that the Lord of Heaven made things difficult for them for no reason.

First of all, the summoning technique wasn’t even forbidden. There were even many mortals who could summon and form a contract with demons of the underworld, netherworld, and even the Hell Realm.

"Allow us to take over from there." Gaia interrupted as she took her seat next to Elysia. She then put her hands together and spoke up about the matter, straight to the point. "You have summoned the heroes from the world governed by the Sacred Sakura Goddess without her knowledge or consent. This transgression cannot be ignored."

"!!!" Rhykdohr and his comrades gasped in shock.

No wonder Sacred Sakura Goddess and her Goddess sisters became cold and distant all of a sudden yesterday. These ladies’ true purpose was to confirm something about the heroes, and once they grasped the truth, they summoned them there to punish them! It was a trap all along!

Elysia began with a soft but commanding voice. "You have violated the sanctity by summoning heroes from the world under my pantheon’s protection without our permission. Do you understand the gravity of your actions?"

Rhykdohr met Elysia’s gaze. He could see her presence and aura were so different from the one he met in the mortal world. If his guess was right, the one he met previously was a mere clone, and the one before him right now was the real one.

Because the Sacred Sakura Goddess could talk casually with the Lord of Heaven, she was most likely a Primordial Goddess. Therefore, since the explanation for his action was required, he answered it with a respectful but unapologetic tone. "I do. But we did so because of the threat that requires the strength of heroes from multiple worlds. We acted quickly because we could not afford to wait."

Elysia remained silent for a moment. She conversed with her Goddess sisters via telepathy, weighing Rhykdohr’s words.

They understood the need for swift action in times of crisis, but the fact remained unchanged. Not to mention, Rhykdohr did it because he couldn’t descend to the mortal world. Above all else, he and his comrades found the holy war was so entertaining, making many heroes glorify their names and die for them.

The Chthonic World was by all means not in a threatening, dire situation. The seal was so powerful, and it was actually the seal left behind by one of the heavenly agents.

The Demon King of Extreme Evil and his demon army were punished with a life imprisonment sentence. Even if evil demons and monsters that could enter and exit the seal at will were there, these demons were merely weaklings, the cannon fodders with 6th Rank demons as the strongest.
