My Goddess is Good at Pretending

The battlefield in the abyssal domain's core region turned into a severely shattered void where stars and light had long been devoured, only endless darkness remained. Two divine beings faced each other.

Zera, the Chaos Goddess of Destruction, the embodiment of ruin, wielding the power of entropy, Ruvoid's curse, and magical damage nullification.

The Abyssal God King, an eldritch horror of countless roots beyond comprehension. As the mother of monsters at the peak of the 17th Rank, it produced and stored countless corrupted creatures.

Two dark-type divinities clashed, trying to devour each other. The battle of pure darkness, destruction, curses, and corruption.

Even though Nirvana's corrupted shadow clone was protected by many high-rank Demon Gods and Zera was surrounded by countless monsters, nothing could interfere in the battle of might between these two profound dark-type divinities.

<| 17th Rank | Nirvana Abyssal Demon God | Schlecht | N/A | HP: 1823.2M / 1911.4M | MP: 1366.9M / 1532.7M | SP: 1347.1M / 1489.7M |>

<| Talent: 7 Stars | Heavenly(7) |>

<| STR: 98.3K | DEX: 200 | CON: 21.4K | PER: 6.7K | ARC: 98.6K | VIT: 1564.5M | LCK: 6666 |>

Zera requested a vision share to sync her eyes with her master's ability so she could peer at the enemy's status screen.

"..." Zera was silent for a moment.

The enemy stood at the pinnacle of the 17th Rank, just one step away from the 18th Rank, whereas she was just a 13th Rank Goddess. Her opponent was far above her rank, but she never faltered because she held an absolute advantage due to her Ruvoid's innate talent and curse. Moreover, she got her master on her back.

With nothing to fear, Zera struck the enemy. Waves of pure destruction erupted from Zera's hands. "You are a parasite mother. I shall erase you..."

Her attack crashed against the Nirvana Abyssal Demon God. But instead of disintegrating, the abyss divinity absorbed Zera's destructive energy.

Nirvana Abyssal Demon God's laughter echoed amidst the chaotic energy blast.

"Arrogant weakling. Know your place." Nirvana Abyssal Demon God countered. A tide of abyssal corruption surged forward, swallowing everything in its path.

Zera faintly smirked after her divine curse got absorbed by the enemy. She confronted the Nirvana Abyssal Demon God's attack head-on as she didn't even need to evade the nullified magical damage. It wasn't powerful enough to even leave a scratch on her skin.

The two dark divinities clashed again and again, destroying everything. But, the confrontation soon turned upside down because the Nirvana Abyssal Demon God couldn't move much from her position. She was rooted to the ground, and soon became passive under Zera's onslaught.

Zera erased chunks of abyssal flesh and roots, but they regenerated instantly. Many monsters tried to get in her way, but she annihilated everything that got in her way.

The Nirvana Abyssal Demon God sent out abyssal tendrils, corrupting everything they touched, but Zera was unaffected by the corruption. She burned them away with anti-existence dark flames.

The battle was a paradox. Destructive curse versus corruption calamity. Neither should exist, yet neither could truly destroy the other.

But as the fight continued, Zera soon realized the truth. She was losing despite gaining the upper hand.

No matter how much destruction she unleashed, the Nirvana Abyssal Demon God's defense and recovery were insane. Moreover, this entity held the power of the entire Corrupted Nirvana Realm...

Seeing the chaotic divinity's hesitation, the Nirvana Abyssal Demon God unleashed its counterattack in full power. It uprooted hundreds of her void roots to cause void collapse, pulling the enemy into an abyssal vortex.

Thousands of abyssal eyes opened inside the vortex, each one cursing Zera's existence. A storm of absolute corruption surged forward, crushing her defenses.

"Aah!" Zera screamed as her divine form began to crack. She was careless, and that spit second gave the enemy an opening to take her down.

The Nirvana Abyssal Demon God was Lady Nirvana's corrupted shadow clone, and it was obviously not stupid. It figured out a way to deal some damage to her, but it wasn't enough to kill her.

"I see now... I cannot win this alone."

With one final effort, she severed space and dimension, creating a rift in the broken void to escape the abyssal vortex.

Before the final blow could land, Zera vanished through her escape tunnel, reappearing several kilometers from her initial location.

The dimensional collapse soon blasted the vortex into nothingness. She flinched a bit at the sight of that, knowing she couldn't tank it without severe injuries.

"Escaped?" The Nirvana Abyssal Demon God frowned once noticed its target managed to escape the deadly entrapment.

"Zera, return to my side." Elysia called out.

"As your wish, master. Please forgive me as this humble servant failed to bring the monster mother's head to you..."

"You've accumulated enough data. As one of the abyssal corruption and origin, that corrupted shadow clone won't escape the purge. Let your master handle the rest."

"Understood."

Zera held her head as she received the order to return. She looked at the Nirvana Abyssal Demon God with a death glare, but she then changed her gaze as if she looked at the dead.

Before the abyssal monsters and corrupted creatures managed to surround her, she vanished from the scene right away.

It was only a battle of less than an hour, and he managed to exhaust the Nirvana Abyssal Demon God even though it was only a little, and collected enough basic data to counter this abyssal origin, second only to the Sovereign of Abyss.

The Corrupted Nirvana Realm trembled. The distant void cracks were everywhere as if the realm screamed in agony.

Zera retreated to the backline at the Nirvana Barrier. Her form flickered with the scars of her battle.

The distant darkness ahead began to churn and collapse. The Nirvana Abyssal Demon God stirred the entire continent. Its eldritch body expanded and its roots stretched across the surface of the abyssal core region as if it had decided to move, no longer rooted in the same place.

Zera emerged near the divine sphere guarded by heavenly agents. She bypassed them and went directly to the golden sphere to meet her master.

"Huh?" Yuna was flabbergasted. She tried to touch the divine sphere, but it repelled her. Apparently, something happened inside, and Elysia didn't want anyone outside the Elysium Pantheon to find out.

Zera knelt down before her master, the Supreme Goddess. "I have tested its power. My curse is superior, but its overall power is far beyond me..."

"Hum." Elysia nodded as she bent down, reaching Zera's cheek so Zera would look up at her. Her eyes burning with divine light.

"..." Zera was mesmerized by her master's ethereal divine visage.

It wasn't the first time she had seen her master's heavenly god mode appearance, but she never felt enough to appreciate this divine sight. Her master already entered God Mode Fusion.

She knew what would happen afterward, and the anticipation surged when her master's face went closer to hers. In that instant, she fused with her master, becoming the last to join the other pantheon members as a part of their Goddess Master's power.

As the battle intensified, Elysia unveiled her God Mode form, ascending to her Divine Heavenly Empress State, where her divine aura illuminated the entire sky.

With a swing of her Divine Supreme Staff, she eradicated the invading abyssal monsters, burning any corrupted creatures within a 5000-kilometer radius with no remainders.

And then, she stepped forward.

The desperate battle against countless corrupted creatures soon turned into the blinding holy light domain. The light was so bright, even momentarily blinding the allies, but under such immense divine power and heavenly laws, no corrupted creatures could escape as they were purged, leaving nothing but nothingness without any chance of revival.

Elysia gracefully moved her hand. A single celestial bell rang across the battlefield.

The stars and constellations of the Divine World bowed in reverence. Time distorted as reality shifted. Golden cherry blossoms bloomed in the void, shaking the Corrupted Nirvana Realm as if the realm's essence was terrified by her display of divine might.

A single, soft whisper carried across the realm.

"Enough."

The divine sphere, the temporary cocoon for Elysia's recovery, fusion, and evolution, shattered into countless tiny fragments.

She threw the fragments to the distant regions to rain down the abyssal demons and corrupted creatures in the distance, eradicating millions of millions of monsters in one fell swoop.

A blinding radiance engulfed the entire battlefield as the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin finally opened her heavenly eyes, displaying her true supreme power.

It sparked awe and reverence from all heavenly agents, commanders, supreme leaders, and all-powerful divine powerhouses present. They finally witnessed the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin's true appearance.

She was usually so humble and clad only in a moderate graceful lady of the sacred land, wearing no fancy accessories or divine artifacts. Her presence alone was already so stunning and bright even without those things, but this time, she appeared as the heavenly presence, the Supreme One above all.

Her eyes sparked like a mesmerizing sea of stars. It was as if a whole new universe was sealed within her eyes. Her fluttering long hair had turned cosmic white with a hint of violet hues at the tip. Clad in a white divine dress of heavenly splendor, no words were enough to describe her appearance as gorgeous was still an understatement to portray her supreme divine beauty.

A double circular golden halo with a flat four-pointed star in the middle floated above her head. She spread her six angelic wings and a huge crystal chakram emerged on her back, spinning and emanating a golden divine aura.

The Supreme Goddess descended, wrapped in cosmic light, radiating infinite power. Her presence erased entire legions of corrupted monsters. The endless abyssal tides, unstoppable forces, but now burned away like mere shadows before the sun.

She raised her hand, and the broken Nirvana Barrier began to heal. She whispered a word and the sky shone, bypassing the curse and corruption to lift the severe debuffs and revive the fallen warriors even though their remains were just nothing but dust.

It was like a time rewind, bringing back the dead to life from nothingness. However, it only affected the fallen divine warriors within a 5000-kilometer radius.

The heavenly laws recreated their bodies and gathered their scattered souls to grant them a second chance of life. The Nirvana Great War was still far from over, and they still had to protect what they wished to protect.

"..." Elysia was silent for a moment, realizing that the suicide legions were too far from her reach. Moreover, she already sent their souls to the afterlife, so she couldn't revive them even if she wanted to.

For the first time in eternity, the Nirvana Abyssal Demon God staggered back. It was so far away, but it could feel the danger of that divine light. "Impossible! This power shouldn't even exist..."

It was the true Supreme Divinity! The Supreme Goddess had emerged in this world, awakened in full power!

As the newly revived divine warriors cheered, and praised the Supreme Goddess' name, Elysia remained calm and composed. She extended her hand forward. "My warriors, the plague and source of corruption have long haunted the entire heavens like an inescapable specter. Rise up and eradicate the curse and corruption from our heavens once and for all!"

Hearing the call, all-powerful divine warriors present, voiced their warcry with a renewed vigor. All of them were the immortals above the 15th Rank, but as Immortal Lords and above, none of them held the arrogance as the supreme rulers because before the Supreme One, the light and hope, they were nothing but her soldiers, the warriors to eradicate their enemies.

With the renewed boosts and buffs, they charged to cleanse the lands from any corrupted creatures, aiming to the abyssal core region as the final boss, second only to the Sovereign of Abyss, was there.

They had to slay it before the battle between the Sovereign of Abyss and the Lord of Heaven concluded.
