My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 704: The Clash Between Behemoths
News of the battle between behemoths in the secluded area on the northeast coast spread like wildfire across the continent. Sacred Sakura’s intervention had saved many, but it had also revealed the depths of the demonic sect’s depravity. Kingdoms and sects alike were shaken, realizing greater darkness loomed in their homeland.
In the vast, tumultuous ocean where the horizon stretched endlessly, the ancient demonic serpent emerged from the abyssal depths. Its monstrous form slithered through the waves like an omen of destruction.
The sea trembled under its might, and with a deafening roar that echoed across the sea, it summoned forth an army of monstrous sea creatures. Massive krakens, abyssal hydras, and relentless tidal sea serpents. Their eyes gleamed with malice as they prepared to unleash devastation upon the continent.
However, the ancient demonic serpent seemed to flee from something. It never looked behind again and simply used the sea monsters to stall for time.
From the towering mountains and vast desolate plains, a monstrous army led by the immortal earth dragon emerged. Its titanic frame, covered in layers of indestructible stone and pulsating veins of molten lava, radiated an overwhelming aura of power.
The ground trembled with each step it took, followed by an army of colossal beasts, each embodying the apex predatory calamity.
"..." Gio was speechless. He absorbed the power of fire from the earth to counter the demonic serpent’s water attribute. It was only for one decisive clash, but the enemy got terrified and fled without caring about the world.
Sadly, his massive build was relatively slow to hunt the fleeing enemy.
"Grrr..." Gio growled, urging his juniors to hunt down the fleeing demonic serpent.
They only surrounded the target. The enemy fled in the explosion between the two peak powers between him and that demonic serpent, but they did nothing when the target escaped from the encirclement.
"Alright, I’ll do it. Cherub will go with me. There is no way that thing can escape from us." Lixue, the ice dragon, felt a little awkward. There was nobody in their right mind who would jump into battle when the clash of overwhelming magical powers between Gio and that monster recklessly.
However, the enemy was not allowed to escape. Therefore, he immediately flapped his wings and dashed into the eastern ocean, followed by the dark dragon, Cherub. With his ice domain to restrain the target, Cherub could finish that thing off with ease as the pure damage dealer.
It was a bit hard to accept, but even though Cherub was far smaller than him and Gio, this dark dragon possessed the highest attack stat.
It didn’t take long for Lixue and Cherub to catch up to the fleeing demonic serpent. The ice dragon froze the ocean with his peak 10th Rank power, and Cherub unleashed a dragonic dark flame breath to crush the demonic serpent back into a fossil.
However, the demonic serpent countered with all of its might. It fought the threat from the sky by using everything, knowing it could never escape from these ridiculous calamity monsters.
As the two calamitous forces ganged up to crush the ancient demonic serpent, the sky darkened, and the atmosphere trembled under the weight of their clashes.
The ancient demonic serpent hissed menacingly as its serpent body coiled around the frozen towering waves. It spat out poisonous miasma, manifesting its domain of poison.
Cherub let out a thunderous roar that shook the air with the intense heat of the eternal dark flames, burning everything.
Unfortunately, the aerial force would always have the advantage over the battle of might. The ancient demonic serpent suffered far too much damage from the bombardments, and let out its final roar, exerting the remaining power into its last struggle to at least injure the two calamity beasts.
"Grrr..." Cherub swooped down and grabbed the dying demonic serpent’s head, sealing its mouth shut.
He looked down menacingly like the apex predator to its prey. The monster before him was so ugly, and it was so unsightly even for the cursed calamity beast army. It was a pity, but this thing could never enter their rank as his master’s monster army.
Death would be its redemption. Having decided that, Cherub breathed his death ray out of his mouth, scorching the dying demonic serpent’s rotten flesh, leaving its bones partially intact.
After confirming its demise, Cherub proceeded to devour half of the rotten corpse before he could be absolutely sure it was really dead.
"Grrr..." Cherub growled to the sky, ordering the ice dragon to bring this spoil of war to land. They shouldn’t let the intact fossil of the 10th Rank demonic beast drift in the sea just like that. Its poisonous body shouldn’t be allowed to pollute the sea for long.
"Well, its body is bigger than expected. It’ll be a bit heavy..." Lixue complained, but he couldn’t help it. He was the bigger one here, and he should be responsible for his junior brother.
He gripped their spoil of war tightly and flew into the sky, but because the load was relatively heavy, he could only drag the carcass on the surface of the sea while flying back to the shore.
"What in the world..." Bai Yuchen paled with both fear and joy. The threat got slaughtered mercilessly by the calamity beasts of unknown origin.
They popped out all of a sudden and solved the imminent crisis. However, ever since the demonic serpent and the sea monsters were exterminated, these calamity beasts became such a formidable threat that even he was not sure that they could stop them, even though the Sacred Sakura Saintess was already here.
"Mi, Miko... are they..." Mingyue was so nervous to ask. She felt that the more she learned about Sacred Sakura’s secrets, the more things she didn’t know.
Previously, Meiying informed her that Miko possessed a connection with the Hell Realm, and now, those calamity beasts numbered no less than a hundred, and most of them were above the 8th Rank. These monsters were enough to flatten the entire continent!
"They are tamed calamity beasts. But as simple as they might be, they are not like ordinary pets. Be careful around them." Miko explained a little, but her eyes were sharp to observe the surroundings.
Based on her experience, an incident of this magnitude would definitely not be left to the mastermind to be left alone.
Even if the villains escaped before she arrived, they would usually witness their evil masterpiece from a safe place, watching as the Gods toyed with the mortals.
’Her Divine Grace already divined it, but the villains are hiding very deep. They cannot be detected even by heavenly laws. The Demon Queen of Envy has been dispatched to investigate this incident, and the captured demoness leads the investigation as the clue compass to find her previous lord.’ Alicia whispered, but she sent her report via telepathy.
’Understood. They are so tricky and clever... We’ll see how long they can hide from us.’ Miko closed her eyes as it felt a little sore. She didn’t find anything strange within a twenty-kilometer radius, and her mama already said it, so she she had to leave it be for now.
"Tamed beast? A full legion of calamity beasts?" The nearby nun widened her eyes in disbelief.
"The followers of our religion are not only humans, demons, or beastfolk, but also monsters. All of them have the opportunity to attain enlightenment and follow the Sacred Sakura Goddess’ teaching. Brave warriors, take a moment to talk about the God." Holy Saintess Bhae spread her arms with a feverish proud expression.
She then began to spread her belief in a long sermon, trying to convert the others to the Elysion Church.
"Gab-chan." Miko called out softly.
"Yes, master." Gabriella leaned closer.
"The masterminds of this incident are far more tricky and troublesome. Spread our nets and tell our allies to stay alert. We should unite to eradicate the evil seeds remaining in this world." Miko conveyed her command, and Gabriella responded positively.

In truth, she said it because the world’s forces had to do something to eradicate the great evils as soon as possible because the heavenly agents were talking about cleansing the mortal worlds regardless of the impact.
The idea came from Yuna, and fortunately, her mama rejected it. Her mama only asked Heaven to aid them, not wipe out the three mortal worlds altogether just to cleanse the worlds from the evil seeds of the previous era. Otherwise, she was absolutely sure, that Heaven would cleanse the three mortal worlds before the Nirvana Great War to eliminate the variables from the lower world, even though it would sacrifice countless innocent souls...

"You’re so cold, Yuna. I’ll pretend you never said that. Just help us with our cause, and we will solve the matter eventually in two months." Elysia reprimanded Yuna.
She didn’t expect the highest rank heavenly agent would nonchalantly propose the idea of cleansing the three mortal worlds, eradicating all the great evils and evil seeds at once regardless of the casualties. Yuna represented the Heavenly Palace, and it was as if the Heavenly Palace didn’t really care about the mortal world.
"Please forgive me for my thoughtless proposal, but please don’t misunderstand the idea. It wasn’t my intention to truly cleanse the world indiscriminately..." Yuna shuddered a little because Goddess Ely was displeased.
"Then, please explain it so we mortals can easily understand your intentions." Sylvia emphasized with a hint of sarcasm.
"It’s like this." Yuna took a deep breath and immediately explained so that there would be no misunderstanding between them.
