My Goddess is Good at Pretending

A day had passed since the path to the Corrupted Nirvana Realm was opened. The combined opening attack launched by the Lord of Heaven and his 72 heavenly agents eliminated millions of abyssal demons at once. Together with more than a million high-rank immortal warriors, they took turns to invade the enemies.

Hundreds of thousands of divine warriors swapped positions on the front lines every six hours to ensure they wouldn't suffer from heavy debuff stacks or be contaminated by corruption.

Unfortunately, the heavenly armies advanced at a slower rate than yesterday. What made things worse was that they got pushed back every time mini-bosses monsters emerged.

"..." Elysia slowly descended closer to the ground level, followed by her protectors. She stared at the massive dimensional storm in the distance, the clashing force between heavenly force and abyssal power that destroyed everything that came near.

The Sovereign of Heaven and the Sovereign of Abyss were engaged in battle in a sealed space, but unfortunately, nobody could tell what was happening inside.

"The majority of abyssal monsters already morphed into their fourth form, the stronger ones in the third form, and the general-level mini-bosses in the second form. 150 of our warriors have perished on the battlefield and 16,532 suffered grave injuries." Elena shared the battle report

It was already the second day, and it should be time for them to make their moves to speed up the pace of the war.

"It pains me to see so many brave warriors fall despite all our preparations." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh as she gazed at the horror and savagery of the battlefield.

The heavenly armies fought with all they had to protect the future of their world, but the number of enemies was still too enormous. Moreover, the eight layers of the heavens were not all united for this decisive battle.

There were various malicious factions and villains attacking from behind, causing the already overwhelmed heavenly armies to become divided in focus as they were squeezed from the three-sided pressure between the front line attack, the defense across the barrier, and the back line defense against the rear attacks.

"No, Ely. We've done our best to suppress the casualties. Look at how determined they are. They know that there is hope to end those abyssal demons." Elena shook her head as she pointed at the battle-crazed maniacs at the forefront, far away in the enemy's territory.

They fought against many, but they never ever once lost their ground even though there were some monsters on the same level as them. It was just that, they had to retreat way faster than the others because of their relentless attacks that would envelop them in heavy debuffs and corruption. They had to purify themselves after wiping out all the enemies in their section and usually had to retreat every two hours.

"..." Yuna overheard the conversation, feeling it was true.

If it was the previous great war, it was a desperate battle, the losing war where they had to sacrifice the Nirvana Realm, the heaven's ninth layer.

The heavenly path, the sovereign dao, was originally three. However, one of them abandoned his path and embraced the power of corruption, betraying everyone. Lady Nirvana as the strongest at that time had to sacrifice herself to serve as the catalyst to seal the Corrupted Nirvana Realm.

Based on records, the first great war that ended the first era was more desperate because the world was still separated. It was just Lady Nirvana in her own world and the Sovereign of Abyss before he abandoned his dao. Lord Heavenly Dao was still a young heavenly path at that time with his newly created world.

"We barely wiped out 3% of the enemy's forces. It should have been 10%, but the heavenly armies had a hard time destroying the enemy's sources and granting them true death with no revival." Fortuna estimated the numbers, but it didn't sound good.

"They also used strategy. Only about 10% went to the battlefield. There are commanders behind." Elysia analyzed the entire battlefield and noticed some oddities far away in the enemy's territory.

The total number of abyssal demons in the Corrupted Nirvana Realm was more than 1000 times greater than the heavenly armies, but these monsters took things slowly as their God, the Sovereign of Abyss, was still engaged in battle with the Lord of Heaven.

"What should we do, my lady?" Yuna voiced her concern, realizing that the longer the battle went on, the more disadvantageous it was to them.

There were only limited numbers of anti-curse items and corruption purifiers, and they couldn't gain an upper hand in the Corrupted Nirvana Realm for long. The situation might look good and under control right now, but she couldn't tell whether they could hold their ground with the upper hand after a week.

"What else? It's time for us to make our moves. If you don't mind, please deploy your main force to assist and strengthen us." Elysia glanced at her Goddess sisters, knowing they were already waiting for this.

"My lady, you can't!" Amy interrupted, full of anxiety.

"Why is that?" Elysia replied calmly.

"You're the key, and you got our back. Not to mention, you and the Nirvana Seal Barrier..." Amy tried to explain, but her voice grew weaker as Elysia and the Elysium Pantheon stared at her.

"Worry not. I'll remain here to watch everyone's backs." Elysia replied with a reassuring smile.

After saying that, she sent a notification to all combatants on the frontline that it was time for them to enter the second phase of the plan, long-range attacks. As she had to unleash her first ultimate attack, she asked anyone to quickly retreat to the safe zone to avoid friendly fire.

With the accumulated power obtained from the Simulated Realm, the space where nearly a hundred 16th Rank or above immortals trained for two months, Elysia unleashed a portion of it to unleash an attack that could rival a combined opening attack by He-Dao and the 72 heavenly agents.

She raised her divine staff, and her thirteen Goddess sisters amplified her power with stacked buffs from numerous magic circles, formations, and runes.

"You..." Lady Nirvana could feel an enormous amount of magical power with immense destructive force pouring into the Nirvana Barrier.

Thousands of massive golden magic circles emerged on the barrier's surface, crackling with intense destructive power ready to be unleashed.

In the eye of the heavenly armies, the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin was so lowkey despite her status. Despite all the respect and reverence placed upon her, including by the Lord of Heaven himself, most of them had yet to witness her true power which was said to bring miracles upon the heavens.

However, right now, they finally understood why the Lord of Heaven could leave everything to her and focused on facing the Sovereign of Abyss.

It was like the unshakable pillar of the heavens that protected them from behind suddenly became a deadly bomb that would destroy all enemies.

While the two God Emperors clashed, the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin became the divine pillar of support that strengthened them and watched their backs.

As the key figure that would lead them to victory, it was what they could expect from her. However, what made them amazed at the moment was not because of that, but her display of might. They finally could witness her combat power in offensive mode!

With a graceful wave of her divine staff, she unleashed Heavenly Petal Domain, nullifying the abyssal corruption within two kilometers of the Nirvana Barrier.

Additional greater buffs empowered all frontline warriors' strength and divine aura. A healing light shone brightly, instantly healing the wounded and reviving the fallen.

Not just that. Hundreds of massive divine magic circles of countless complicated formations and runes formed on the Nirvana Barrier, emitting a suppressive destructive aura, no weaker than the combined opening attack unleashed by the Lord of Heaven and the 72 heavenly agents!

And with that, hundreds of massive annihilation light rays were released to burn everything within a hundred kilometers. All corrupted monsters within 20 kilometers of the Nirvana Barriers were reduced to ashes without being able to revive or divide, and those beyond 20 kilometers suffered instant extinction but did not die as the impact from the divine light rays grew weaker at that distance. They could still revive and slowly recover.

"Supreme holy maiden... so, this is the power of the recovering 20th Rank?" The Sky Dragon Sovereign murmured in shock as he gazed at the death zone below. It was a high-level special power and technique created to eradicate the corrupted creatures.

Almost all frontline warriors were amazed, and excited because they realized that they had such a powerful figure that would lead them to win this everlasting war of the first ancient era.

"Brave immortal warriors. We have yet to face 5% of their full force. The main plan for phase two. Please focus on long-range attacks because the regional bosses will make their moves now." Elysia sent her voice transmission to all frontline warriors.

So many powerful gods and immortals have already taken action, but it's only 5% even though millions of immortals have eliminated so many corrupted monsters in a full offensive for a whole day?! That was what most warriors thought, but it didn't matter because they were no longer afraid of the curse and corruption.

"It's time for the stronger foes to appear, huh... My true showtime is almost arrived in the next phase, but 5%? Isn't that too much?" The Shadow Monarch grumbled, but he could only sigh.

As the Corrupted Nirvana Realm's fog cleared from the land, many monsters that were more terrifying than before began to appear in the distance, and with that, the war's second phase which focused on long-range attacks began for greater destructive force and lower casualties.

"My lady, you revived the fallen!" Amy was flabbergasted, not expecting it only took Elysia a few seconds to revive the dead.

They originally would only bring the dead back, and think about their reincarnation or revival later, but since Elysia had revived them, so the number of casualties was reset back to zero.

"That's nothing." Elysia broke out in a cold sweat. Although she didn't use her own magical power and vitality, it was still a bit tiring to release a massive AoE divine magic.

"Please don't overexert yourself." Elena wiped Elysia's sweat with a handkerchief.

"Thanks, but we're pressed for time. Yuna, please assign half of the heavenly agents to assist the rear guard defense formation. Those heavenly demons are determined to mess us up." Elysia's eyes turned fiery as she gazed upon the Heavenly Realm.

The other side received uncontrollable pressure due to the two-way attack from the escaped corrupted monsters from the front, plus the heavenly demons and their worshippers from the back.

"But..." Yuna didn't dare to carry out the command because right now, their task was to eliminate any threats that dared to approach Elysia and the entrance portal, and also to protect Elysia at all costs. They already went to flawless defense formation for it, but if she had to strip half, it would greatly weaken Elysia's protection.

"No buts. You can stay here to protect me. Amy, bring 35 heavenly agents to eliminate those demons immediately." Elysia raised her hand because it was not the time to reason with anyone.

"Alright. We'll leave the defense to you." Amy didn't dare to refuse. She brought 36 heavenly agents, including her, to return to the Heavenly Realm. All she could do was eliminate those demons immediately and come back as soon as possible.

"Sisters, it's time for you to unleash your might." Elysia flicked her fingers to summon her pantheon members. She turned around to look at her people with a confident smile.

"It's finally time for us to move!" Sylvia declared as she did a little stretch.

Receiving the command, Xentia summoned her deus ex machinas, space battleships, and latest-gen mechs to the battlefield.
