My Goddess is Good at Pretending

"!?" Yuna gasped in shock as she stared in disbelief to see one of her comrades she trusted the most would suddenly backstab their light and hope.

No matter what got into Amy, she couldn't let this fiend harm Goddess Ely! She warped instantly and unleashed her heavy punch. "Dark Agent Amy, have you lost your mind?!"

*Bam!*

Yuna's punch crashed against Amy's wine-colored barrier, leaving only some cracks.

"Keke, you're destined to die." Amy chuckled with an expressionless gaze, but tears rolled down her cheek. A hint of regret radiated from her eyes, but it was overwritten by a heinous demon-like expression right away.

By possessing a 16th Rank heavenly agent's body, although only temporarily and could only last a few seconds, she managed to injure the most vital variable of the Heavenly Alliance, namely the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin, by a stroke of luck during the best opportunity to strike right after the Mother of Nirvana's ultimate dark beam of nihility weakened the Supreme Goddess.

She penetrated Goddess Ely from behind during Goddess Ely's most vulnerable and unexpected period. Thanks to a previous God Emperor-level attack, there were no additional layered shields and barriers. The cursed sword would severely harm the Goddess' divine soul and body. With this, the abyss would surely win, that was what she thought at the moment.

However, something strange happened. She strangely didn't feel any feeling in stabbing someone. It was as if she stabbed nothing but empty air.

When the Supreme Goddess looked back at her with a cold glare, she broke in a cold sweat, too terrified. The variable feared by the Mother of Nirvana was present right before her eyes.

Elysia stepped aside and turned around like nothing happened. She was unharmed because at the moment, her presence was like a hologram to the current reality.

Such occurrence put the nearby heavenly agents, and even Lady Nirvana, flabbergasted. Apparently, Elysia stood at the higher dimension due to Lady Nirvana's previous warning and reminder. Therefore, the cursed sword seemed to stab Elysia to the others, but it actually just bypassed her.

"..." Elysia pondered about it.

To think even one of the highest heavenly agents could be possessed by an evil spirit, then this monster was surely no weaker than Amy. But, well... unless someone possessed higher ARC and CON than her, nothing could harm her in her God Mode state.

"You overestimated yourself. Begone, Lord Vile Spirit." Elysia swung her hand, giving the possessed Amy a fresh slap to the cheek with a pure evil nemesis divinity to repel the evil.

*Slap!*

The slap was quite hard and crisp, delivering a bruise to Amy's cheek with a divine force that bypassed Amy's 16th Rank's defense. The impact threw the Immortal Lord-level evil spirit, who took control over Amy's body, out.

"Argh!" The Lord Vile Spirit shrieked in agony as she got blown away. She got shaken inside out as that seemingly simple slap put her soul in a mess.

Several heavenly agents moved swiftly to annihilate the evil spirit into smithereens, killing it repeatedly without any mercy, leaving nothing behind.

"My, I- milady, it's..." Amy regained control over her body, but that doesn't change the fact that she tried to harm the Goddess she swore to protect and serve during this Nirvana Great War.

The cursed sword was still in her hand as guilt, shame, and self-blame filled her mind and heart. She trembled, paled, and was too frightened to reason it. As one of the highest rank heavenly agents, she got possessed by a cursed creature, and she even tried to harm Goddess Ely! She could only wash this shame with her death!

With that as the only thing that crossed her chaotic mind, Amy aimed the cursed sword at her heart. "Let me pay my sin with my death."

"You fool!" Elysia smacked the cursed sword away, sending it flying to the ground below.

She stared at Amy like a strict superior as she pointed her finger at the deadly battlefield in the distance. "Will your death end the Nirvana Great War? Also, do you think such a lame attack will injure me? During He-Dao's absence, you are my subject. I won't let you die a foolish death. If you still have some strength, use it to exterminate more Nirvana Abyssal Demons. Tire yourself to death on the battlefield and wash away your shame!"

Amy meekly nodded since she had nothing to say.

At the moment, Goddess Ely was the one who held absolute command, and they should be ready to die for Goddess Ely, ensuring they would win the Nirvana Great War.

Her death would resolve nothing, and it was just a cowardly escape to avoid blame, responsibility, and guilt. Apart from the assassination attempt, she also indirectly insulted Goddess Ely, the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin. That attack was so slow, and it surely could harm those stronger than her. It didn't even manage to touch Goddess Ely, causing much less harm.

Remembering what Goddess Ely said, it was akin to the Lord's mercy. So, she should put her life on the line to wash away her shame.

"Thank you for your mercy, milady. Please allow me to atone for my sin." Amy knelt like a subject before her Lord Emperor.

"Go, kill them all." Elysia replied with a nod.

Amy departed to the frontline battlefield right away to join the other Immortal Lords and God Kings in the depths of the enemy's core region.

"..." Yuna wanted to say something, but she decided to let it be. Amy was too embarrassed to face anyone at the moment, and surely, Amy had to accomplish something on the frontline to wash away the shame.

"The battle on the other side should be resolved in a moment. The heavenly army's full force will join us in the mass purge in two hours." Elysia checked the situation in the Heavenly Realm.

The battle on the other side most likely would be over in an hour or two because no more corrupted creatures managed to cross the Nirvana Barrier. The heavenly armies and alliances eradicated the escaped corrupted creatures at a rapid rate, and the situation in the lower realms would soon follow, cleansing all the escaped corrupted creatures.

"Understood." Yuna bowed slightly. She turned around and beckoned to the other heavenly agents to return to their position in the formation.

They should feel ashamed as well because they were frozen in fear when the Nirvana Abyssal Demon God unleashed the dark beam of nihility. They did nothing to protect Goddess Ely at that moment.

The heavenly agents present as Goddess Ely's protector were currently only half of their peak power because the other half had to handle the situation on the other side, eradicating all corrupted creatures in the Heavenly Realm and other layers of heaven. So, they synced their divinities so they wouldn't be affected by the enemy's 18th Rank attack even with only a half-powered heavenly formation.

Less than two hours remained before the full-scale purge unleashed by the Supreme Goddess, and they had to ensure nothing would hinder it, much less harm Goddess Ely.

---

It was barely two days since the first corrupted creature descended from heaven to the mortal world, causing so much destruction and death. The Sacred Sakura and all of its subsidiary and allied forces did their best to prevent the calamities from ruining the world they lived in.

In those two days, twenty-seven god-tier monsters descended, inflicting great terror and a fighting force that summoned all-destroying calamities. Thirteen descended in the Terra World, and seven each descended in the Chthonic World and Caelum World.

"Is it over? Is there a more godlike monster that will descend upon us?" Bai Yuchen murmured as he stared at the sky questioningly. He was battered, covered in wounds and blood, but rage and resentment still burned clearly in his gaze.

He already lost far too many comrades in battle. At least six hundred brave warriors of the Sacred Sakura's allied forces had already fallen victim to the destruction inflicted by the godlike monsters of corruption. That was just for the battle in the Terra World, and the number was obviously much greater if the other two worlds were included.

For Sacred Sakura's core and inner disciples themselves, consisting of the best warriors nurtured force by the Sacred Sakura Goddess and the Sacred Sakura Saintess as a special anti-nemesis force, they had already lost ten out of a total of 154 members. Not just seniors... there were also several representative elders who were no longer present with them as they had perished as heroes in the battle against the accursed.

As for the comrades from the Righteous Alliance and other Union Factions, the casualties were already too many to count...

"The cracks in the sky are repaired." Gabriella regrouped with her juniors, staring at the cracks in the distance sky.

It would be good news and a breath of fresh air for them if the sky was repaired. With no more cracks in the sky, no monsters would descend to the mortal world.

Even though it was only a two-day battle, everyone was already far too exhausted as they barely got any rest to recover. Not to mention, some godlike monsters possessed time-dilation ability, trapping them in time-space domains with different time rules than the outside world's reality.

As the strongest main force, they have fought for four weeks on all three mortal worlds, facing nineteen calamities with only a moment to rest and recover when they move from one battlefield to another.

"It's not over yet." Jophiel narrowed her eyes as she noticed the spatial turbulence from the newly repaired cracks in the sky.

A form manifested from it as a new godlike calamity would soon descend upon them.

"Roar!"

The calamity beast revealed itself with its earth-shattering roar that shook the sky and earth.

The sky darkened by its sheer force and presence, but before it could fully emerge, escaping the world's barrier, a pair of giant hands of divine light emerged from the void to pull the monster back into the cracks.

The monster tried to break free, flinging its body frantically, but it was just like a fish trapped in a net and got dragged out of the water. The monster failed to descend and was pulled back into the Divine World by the upper world's immortal.

"You did a marvelous task to protect the mortal worlds, warriors. From here onward, no calamity will descend to the lower realms."

A gentle female voice echoed from the sky, but it could only be heard by those above 6th Rank. The Goddess indirectly announced that the Divine World managed to gain the upper hand in the divine holy war, and the mortal worlds could catch a breath since no more calamity would descend!
