My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 739: Building Immunity
Although Lifa could go all the way to the last day, she stopped at four days because it was the maximum limit Elysia had set.
She could feel her divine affinity heightened. In her dark mode, her immunity to both curse and corruption was flawless. She didn't even require Elysia's assistance for her recovery or to deactivate her dark mode.
Even though she had finished her exclusive training and built perfect immunity, she still seated as if waiting for Elysia to pick her up.
"Mommy~" Elysia hugged Lifa from behind, teasing cheerfully.

She knew Lifa encountered no trouble in mastering the dark mode and built flawless immunity because, among the Vrelenian Gods, only Lifa survived the Ruvoid's curse for so many years in a conscious and alive state. It was years of torture, but that was also what made Lifa more resilient than ever.
"You're here, child. Your mommy doesn't disappoint you." Lifa rubbed Elysia's cheek with a satisfied laugh.
"Mm, that's the maximum limit. Gaia, Yuuki, and Xentia should have finished their training as well. Let's pick them up." Elysia kissed Lifa's cheek before helping Lifa stand up.
"Ah, alright. Let's go." Lifa held Elysia's hand as she stood up from her meditation position.
The next one to be picked up was Gaia. Unfortunately, Gaia required Elysia's help to deactivate her dark mode.
"It scared me. Everything was going so smoothly until just now." Gaia panted for breath. It scared her a bit because she almost failed to deactivate her dark mode.
"Thank you for your hard work, Gaia. You already possess your dark mode, but this might be the first time you stay in that state under an extreme environment for days." Elysia patted Gaia's back as she released Gaia from her arms.
"Yeah, but I've entered the dark side now..." Gaia felt a bit restless because what she learned here would be condemned by the Earth's laws.
"Isn't that a good? With this, no contamination can affect you." Lifa faintly smirked, but she covered her mouth gracefully.
Although the exclusive training for each individual was different, everyone got the same objective as they had to build their dark mode and immunity.
As for Gaia, she was pleased because this training made Gaia have nowhere to run, not even the thought of returning to Earth or Earth's Creator God. Elysia's mark had rewritten the Creator God's mark as Gaia's owner and Gaia's soul had already been installed by the dark mode.
"Ugh, so we hit the maximum limit, right?" Gaia rubbed her head, feeling a bit dizzy.
"Mm, congratulations. You reached the maximum limit because that's all you could get. I reached the maximum limit because that's all there was to get." Lifa patted Gaia's shoulder.
"E-eh? Aren't you being a bit meanie? Even though I joined late, I'm still your senior." Gaia was stunned for a moment, surprised by Lifa's sudden remark.
"Lifa was just joking. Don't take it seriously. You both are seniors in the family." Elysia held Lifa and Gaia's arms as they still had to pick up their last two members.
Xentia's state was extremely stable. She could go all the way to the maximum limit with no trouble, but she had to remain in a frozen-like position after absorbing all the divine training materials and building up perfect immunity. However, she couldn't exit her dark mode without outside help. Therefore, she had to wait until her master came to save her and take her away.
"I must applaud your soul and mind resilience. Your blind faith and unconditional trust are magnificent. Nothing can shake her soul anymore." Lifa rubbed her chin, amazed by Xentia's soul power.
It was known to all family members that Xentia's soul was artificially created by the world laws under Elysia's divinity. Although Xentia's soul existed for less than six years, it had already surpassed the majority of the pantheon members.
"You're amazing, Xen." Elysia stroked Xentia's head happily.
"It's all thanks to you, master." Xentia felt honored. She smiled weakly because her energy was drained. "Err, am I the last one?"
"No, Yuuki is the last one, but she needs extra care." Elysia looked aside as she could feel the chill in Yuuki's sealed space.
She brought Xentia and Gaia to the resting chamber as they were required to soak in the recovery hot spring.
"I'll go with you." Lifa held Elysia's hand as she was aware that the space in Yuuki's domain was frozen.
"It's okay, but I've had enough. Please soak in the hot spring and recover to your peak condition as soon as possible. I'll bring Yuuki back in two minutes~" Elysia patted Lifa's hand and then waved her hand with a reassuring expression.
"Well..." Lifa let go of Elysia and heaved a subtle sigh.
"What are you thinking, mother? In this imaginary dimension, our master is invincible. Come and soak with me." Rhea tugged Lifa's towel.
"Mhm..." Lifa shrugged and sat down beside Rhea.
"It's a bit sad because I'm only two hours short of you. My faith and love are still lacking." Rhea sighed.
"It's already an impressive achievement." Lifa patted Rhea's head, comforting her daughter.
"Yeah! We can barely reach three days."
"Three days."
Hea and Celes swam closer, voicing their opinions.
"Mm, such adorable girls. Your pure minds and untainted souls created an unshakable dark immunity." Rhea gave the two tree saplings a head pat.
At the moment, the other members had yet to return from their training to prepare for the last phase on the last day tomorrow. Xentia and Gaia soaked in silence because they had to meditate for recovery.
So, it felt a bit lonely, but Rhea felt it was the right moment to talk to her mother.
"Mother, you lately only form a bond with our master using only your divine avatar. Will it affect you negatively if you transform your true body for our master's sake?" Rhea leaned her head on her mother's shoulder.
"..." Lifa was silent for a moment. She put her hand on Rhea's waist as she gazed upon the bright sky above. "It's all the same. I might possess hundreds of avatars in the Nature Realm, but I only have one divine avatar that serves as equal to my true body. If this one is destroyed, my true body can hardly survive, but it will be enough for our last resort."
"No, listen to me. Don't play it like that... master and they already know, but just keep quiet. We won't die, so just believe our master. Perform the bonding with your true body today, and give everything to our master, or I will be angry. We supposedly give everything, and channel all our strength to our master for the upcoming battle." Rhea grabbed her mother's hands, emphasizing her point.
"A-alright..." Lifa was taken aback because she felt Rhea would force it if she refused.
"That's more I like it. It's polyvalent technique and soul bond." Rhea reminded with a pleased expression.
Her mother reserved 20% divine essence for the so-called emergency, but it was unnecessary because they only had to leave everything to their master. Although her mother's divine avatar served like the true body, it was still not perfect, and the 20% additional boost was super meaningful and could become a determining factor in the battle of higher beings.
"What are they talking about?" Hea asked curiously.
"Complex adult conversation. We don't need to know." Celes shrugged.
"Fufu, your mother was being a bit indecisive previously. If Ely would protect us with her soul, we should ultimately be safe even the universe would crumble." Lifa chuckled lightly.
"Yeah, we also lent our power to Ely."
"Lending all our power!"
Hea and Celes raised puffed their chests proudly.
"Oh, is that so? Well, you can't just freeload after sneaking in and settling in." Lifa laughed helplessly, but that might be the best for them.
Meanwhile, Elysia had just broken the frozen space, releasing Yuuki from the spatial entrapment. Yuuki was covered in thick dark energy, but nothing could touch Yuuki's soul even though it already reached the dark mode's ultimate phase. It was the fourth day, the maximum limit, and Yuuki survived flawlessly with perfect immunity.
"Yuuki." Elysia called out as she reached out to Yuuki.
"Ma, master?" Yuuki trembled, feeling cold. She desperately reached her master, hugging her master's warm body tightly as if she would never let go. "S-so cold..."
"I'm here." Elysia hugged Yuuki tightly as well and she radiated a warm aura that warmed Yuuki's body, spirit, and soul.
Feeling that it was not enough, she wrapped their bodies with a special thermal blanket to trap the heat inside.
The ice had melted, the frozen space was running again, and the deadly coldness gradually returned to normal temperature.
After a few moments of cuddle, Yuuki could finally feel her limbs again. She moved her nine tails to wrap her master's body and then looked up to gaze upon her master's beautiful visage.
"You did great." Elysia kissed Yuuki's forehead.
"Mm!" Yuuki was happy. She hugged her master even more tightly and buried her face in her master's ample breasts.
Elysia felt it for almost two minutes, but Yuuki seemed unwilling to move even though the dark mode was deactivated and the frozen cold was no longer there. "Are you still cold?"
"It's cold, but master is warm." Yuuki's ear twitched, but she had no plan to let go.
"Fufu, alright. Then let me take you to a comfortable place. Do you still remember how we first met, Yuuki?" Elysia rubbed Yuuki's head, trailing down to Yuuki's tails. She stood up with Yuuki nestled in her arms, hugging her like a koala on a tree trunk.
"Hot spring." Yuuki looked up. She could never forget that fateful encounter that changed her life.
It was cold, so cold. She was grown in a cold and cruel environment, but after meeting her master, she finally obtained a home, warmth, and love.
"That's right. Hot spring has become a special place for us." Elysia nodded with a tender smile.
