My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 633: Direct Resignation
After Ileus and several other Gods reported important matters to Earth Mother, Gaia felt saddened, but the casualties in the war were inevitable. "You have done your best. We also have done our part to help resolve the crisis, but the aftermath and restoration are still in your hands."
"Lady, what do you mean by that? Do you imply that the monster army has been dealt with?" Ileus asked in disbelief. Although this was the case, the time needed to resolve the crisis was too fast!
"Our honorable master has resolved the crisis. It was she who caused the united monster invaders to descend to the fifth layer and then handle them. The remaining monsters are either loners with no backbones or stray beasts with barely threatening power." Gaia nodded in confirmation.
"That is such a relief..." Ileus let out a sigh of relief, and so did the Gods around him.
However, he then realized something from what Earth Mother said. "Wait, honorable master? May I know who you are referring to as master?"
"It’s Master Ely. She became my master after resolving the Earth’s crisis and my divine decay. I wouldn’t have been able to survive long if it weren’t for her. And now, Earth is no longer me. My duty is over, and it’s time for me to live freely with Elysium." Gaia grasped her arm as she smiled to reassure everyone.
"..." Ileus felt complicated as the news came so suddenly. He was a child compared to Earth Mother, but she suddenly bid her farewell.
He looked at Fortuna to ask about it, but Fortuna just shook her head, saying to take it for granted and avoid asking more.
"How is the current situation in the mortal world, and also, how is your mission’s result?" Ileus took it for granted as he couldn’t even help Earth Mother. If it was Elysia, everything would be fine.
"Don’t ask about my mission and don’t even think about it. I wish to resign from the Divine Association, or now, Divine Alliance. I have switched sides and am part of the Elysium Pantheon now. I won’t leak anything about her." Fortuna made a cross with her arms.
"W-what?" Ileus felt betrayed by one of his trusted aides.
"Don’t feel like I betrayed you as I never state my eternal loyalty to you. You pushed me for it, and Master Ely tried to win me over despite knowing my spy mission, and she succeeded. Master Ely sent me here so I can convey my resignation and her regard." Fortuna waved her hand, feeling that the betrayal was too much to judge her.
"Ely... she, where is she now?" Ileus got the urgency to meet Elysia as soon as possible. She was most likely to be in the 5th Heaven, resolving the crisis of the united otherworldly monster army.
Just as he was about to make a move, Gaia stopped him and shook his head. "Our master does not wish to meet you now. We shall lend a helping hand to restore the path to the afterlife and samsara, and also the broken path to the mortal world."
"Is that so..." Ileus felt a bit disappointed, but he couldn’t help it. He might ask for too much, but Elysia and her group helped Heaven without asking for anything in return.
So, he had to be grateful for her help. If he recalled about the past, Elysia once said to him that she wished to see the beautiful world, but the Heavean’s current state was far from beautiful, it was the land of ruins.
"You still want to know about the situation in the mortal realm? Eh, wait... where did Liam go?" Fortuna looked around, but the Divine Executioner was nowhere to be seen. She didn’t even know when he left.
"He is probably checking the Heavenly Core, the Heaven’s source." Gaia looked up as if she could guess what Liam was doing.
He had to check Heaven’s current state in every layer, and the most crucial thing was to ensure the Heavenly Core was safe.
After being abused by the Ruvoid God and the heavenly traitors in the past, the Heavenly Core was repaired by Elysium and it was secured by the Divine Palace with multiple defenses and security systems. However, the otherworld invasion caused so much turmoil and dimensional imbalance that most likely damaged the Heavenly Core.
"Then, we can leave him alone." Fortuna wasn’t too worried. She then shared the latest update regarding the mortal realm and the situation in the lower layers, demanding the restoration plan to be carried out immediately considering the main threats had been resolved by Elysium Pantheon.
"We understand and will immediately carry out the promised restoration plan after confirming the situation in each realm." Ileus agreed to proceed with the restoration plan if they had confirmed the situation, but there was still something that bothered him. "However, I have a doubt and hope you can clear my confusion."
"Go ahead." Gaia invited the God Emperor to speak without hesitation.
Ileus then asked about the purpose of Elysia and her group’s arrival in this world. He believed she came for no reason.
"Hmm, then you can try to meet Master Ely. Wait for a few minutes and make your arrival known. If she agrees, she will let you go to see her. But, don’t come with a big group. Just three people beside you. She doesn’t want to deal with complicated matters during her visit, let alone be involved in heavenly problems. She has done enough, more than necessary." Gaia rested her cheek on her palm, glancing at Fortuna.
She felt that Elysia still needed to meet the God Emperor even if it was just a formality, but yes, it would be the others who had to pay Elysia a visit, not the other way around.
"Alright, I’ll do that." Ileus nodded. He then immediately chose three Gods of his choice to go down to the 5th layer to check the situation and greet their benefactors.
"We need to repair the samsara. Lend me at least twelve dozen Gods and high-level angels." Gaia extended her hand, demanding about the most crucial thing.
"Twelve, twelve dozen..." Ileus was taken aback.
He would fulfill the request without hesitation if it was four years ago, but the current situation was not promising. He couldn’t even dispatch five dozen powerhouses at once, let alone more than a hundred high-level powerhouses just like that. They were spread across various strongholds and had their respective tasks in the 6th and 7th layers...
"We can’t repair the paths alone. Command them to answer your call as it’s really urgent. Master Ely has already dealt with more than 80 percent of Heaven’s threats, so the heavenly burden has been lifted." Gaia pressed, feeling dissatisfied because the God Emperor was hesitant when she was trying to help before they left.
"Alright. I shall ensure twelve dozen high-level Gods and angels will be present at your beck and call." Ileus sent his command broadcast to over a hundred powerhouses at once. He then looked at Fortuna, speaking his condition but with a subtle pleading tone. "Please don’t take them away..."
"You don’t have to worry. I shall only take back what is rightfully mine. My duty should be over. We literally saved this world twice." Fortuna humphed and crossed her arms.
She knew the God Emperor planned to absorb her force after sending her off to the Elysium Pantheon. Since she had returned and the 7th layer should be intact, then she might as well take everything that was hers, especially her divine servants. Considering she already got her new private world, she should take away her servants and properties.
Gaia and Fortuna then left, dashing directly to the 7th sky, directly towards the highest layer of Heaven.

"..." Ileus wondered what Elysia had done to make Fortuna switch sides. Fortuna no longer paid him any regard as if they were nothing more than casual acquaintances.
"Alas, I couldn’t even manage her before. If she becomes part of Elysia’s circle, then it will bring Divine Palace goodness." Ileus threw the matter aside as he had a more important matter at hand.
He then brought his three highest-level aides and descended to the 5th sky to meet Elysia and her group.
---
"Hmm~" Elysia looked up as she was aware of what Gaia and Fortuna wished to do. They hadn’t told her anything, but she allowed them to decide it with their judgment.
The God Emperor and three high-level officials of the Divine Palace were on their way to her location, but her people were still busy training to break through their limits against the rogue immortal beasts.
"That’s enough, I beg you! I have surrendered, and don’t beat me again..." A particular empyrean shrimp curled up into a ball with wounds and bruises all over its body.
"Hey, where did your previous arrogance go? Who said that I was just a cat, food for fish in the riverside?" Vanessa trampled the beaten empyrean shrimp, feeling annoyed.
"That’s me! I admit my mistake, so please let me go. Don’t eat me! Shrimp is not tasty and may cause allergies." The empyrean shrimp begged for mercy.
"Hmph!" Vanessa snorted and kicked the beaten shrimp, sending it flying high into the sky like a reversed falling star.
Elysia was amused by Vanessa’s antics. She then looked aside, looking at Xentia’s virtual screen. "What about our disciples and representative elders?"
"They are faring better than expected, master. Although some of them have a hard time even taking down one immortal beast, they at least gained the experience to push their latent talent to their utmost limits, breaking past their boundary to take a step closer to a breakthrough." Xentia showed the battle reports and the achievement results.
"Mm, they shall receive their well-deserved gain." Elysia leaned her body forward. She had planned to hold a relaxation party to help everyone’s recovery tonight.
"But, it’s a shame because most of the giant monsters chose to submit rather than fight. Due to your fused aura with Zera, the stronger monsters choose to submit and we can’t test Xentia’s latest mechs." Elena shrugged her shoulders with a sigh.
"Is that our fault? Hum, it can’t be helped, right?" Elysia looked at Zera with a reassuring smile. She then grabbed Xentia’s hand and swung them left and right happily. "We can still test and pilot Xen’s latest models tomorrow in our outer space exploration. We might encounter an intergalactic mech war."
"The guests are here." Ai told her fellow sisters while pointing up.
