My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 26: Formal Invitation



Chapter 26: Formal Invitation

Ely expressed her thanks to the wind spirit. It might not be the same wind spirit as the one in the Sacred Mountain, but all nature spirits were caring and understanding.

If it wasn't for the wind spirit's effort to neutralize her overheating situation, perhaps this room would have already caught fire, and her body would have been charred to ashes.

To think her Mortal Field passive skill would nullify all types of qi and mana manifestations while she was unconscious...

[Obtained Demon God's fragment core]

[The Constellation of Fate is impressed by your ultimate move]

Ely checked her grimoire's latest log history list but was speechless about what was written there. She had no idea how the Demon God died. Moreover, after she thought about it again, those artifacts' combined ultimate attack might only hurt the Demon God at best.

An outside factor might have joined the chaos to execute the injured Demon God.

She also had no idea where the Demon God's fragment core was. She obtained it but got nothing but a nice increase in her stats.

"Hmm..." Ely opened the Terra World map, focusing on cities in the Human Realm.

She used to think that the three major and nineteen minor realms were like nations. Nevertheless, she finally understood it was bigger than she imagined after she left Sacred Mountain.

The Human Realm had three Empires, and the Demon Realm was more or less the same size.

Meanwhile, the Northern Realm was like two realms combined into one. It covered the whole northern part of the Tearobis Great Continent.

"Raf-chan." Ely called out as she marked the three major cities in the Great Yan Empire. Holy Church's influence was only present in this Empire, after all.

"Yes, master. You called?" Rafaela immediately came to her master's side.

[Rafaela (FV: 2100) | 6th Rank Early Stage]

[Loyalty: 100%]

[Talent: 4 Stars | SSR]

Ely was happy to see Rafaela's loyalty hit the maximum.

"You did say there was a God of Light in the Holy Church, right? Can you elaborate more about your impression of him?" Ely tapped the seat next to her.

"Mm, let me explain it to you, master." Rafaela described the God of Light to the best of her knowledge, but the mentioned God she met was nothing more than a mere projection, not the real one.

"I see... Then, I'd better ask Remi-chan to accompany me to the Holy Church tomorrow. I want to meet the God of Light." Ely put her hand to her cheek.

"I will tell her, master. Also, we got some letters a few minutes ago, master."

"Letters? From whom?"

"Graham Potter, and the Yan Imperial Family. Although they wrote two different letters, they basically hoped to meet you again to express their gratitude."

"I've received enough gratitude, but this is a formality, huh... Did you read the letters, Raf-chan?"

"No, master. I can guess from the messengers' expressions. Both letters actually labeled as invitation letters."

"O-ooh~"

"I'll take the letters here, master."

Rafaela was about to leave the bedroom to get the letters, but Gabriella suddenly appeared from the other side. They almost collided.

"Lunch is ready." Gabriella patted Rafaela on the shoulder, then peeked into the bedroom.

While Ely and her two disciples were enjoying lunch, the other Apostles gathered at an auction house owned by the Guardian of Dream.

Only the 10 Apostles and 144 disciples received blessings from their master directly. Nevertheless, their organization had grown to tens of thousands of members with influence spanning almost every major city in the entire Human Realm. Unfortunately, those people were just loyal employees, the pawns, not the actual members.

"Mika, you have another identity as an honorable guardian knight in the neighbouring Empire. Our last objective is related to the church. Can't you do something for this one?" Azrael played with his sabers like they were just child's toys.

"The Church of Insight in the Breacasian Empire differs from the Holy Church. They worship the Goddess of Fate. My influence will be helpful if our operations are in that Empire. However, this Great Yan Empire is the fifth, sixth, and tenth sister scope of influences. Ask them instead of me." Michael flapped his hand as his other identity's influence was vulnerable in this Empire.

"My apologies, but we only have business-related influences here. I can't help if it's the Holy Church because of the tight holy security there." The tenth sister apologized as she couldn't help much.

Uriel and Jophiel also expressed their powerlessness in touching confidential information regarding the Holy Church. Everything they had in the Great Yan Empire was the business-related influences.

"Then, how about you, Azrael? Your Shadow Assassin people are capable of sneaking in as shadows. Since our master mentioned that place, I'm afraid another big dark secret is hidden behind that church." Michael sipped his coffee.

"That's easy, but we'll be found out, and trouble will become big afterward. Holy magic protection isn't something that just any shadow can touch." Azrael shrugged, then took a sip of his wine. Yet, the girls then talked about something interesting, and he immediately focused on his sense of hearing.

"Nee, Jophi~ You wet yourself when our master released her arrow of divine light, didn't you? You rushed to the nearby restroom with an embarrassed look right after our mission at the academy was over." Uriel poked her sixth sister's arm.

"W-what? I don't, don't talk nonsense..." Jophiel refused to admit it, but she blushed subconsciously.

"Oh my, am I right? You've always been fascinated by our master's might, but who would have thought~ Uh-huh? Your lustrous hair and crystal eyes are pink, and now your face is blushing pink, too~" Uriel couldn't help but tease her junior sister more.

"Hmph, I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Jophiel adjusted her face veil and moved away from her fifth sister.

The other three girls then joined the girls-only conversation.

"Hou~" Azrael smirked. His sixth sister was arguably the embodiment of lust. However, her conduct was still entirely innocent due to their master's influence.

She was dangerous because of her succubus-like charm and vixen-like illusory ability. That veil was actually an artifact to put her charm under control. Because of that, she rarely showed her face to anyone but their master.

Azrael wondered about what his sixth sister's face actually looked like. She was definitely a stunning beauty, but he wasn't sure she could rival their master's peerless angelic beauty.

"Ahem! Why did the first and second sisters take so long to report? Did those nobles and representatives give our master trouble? We should do another investigation into the Holy Church during the evening prayer event, right?" Michael cleared his throat.

"Who knows? Our master just killed a Demon God three hours ago. After taking care of the Lumina Family, she might need a bit of rest or quiet time." Azrael responded with a spontaneous answer.

"!!!"

Unfortunately, the answer was immediately interpreted differently by others. Even Azrael soon spat out his wine in shock at his own answer.

The Demon God of the upper realm, the Heavenly Demon God!? Their master just killed that kind of monster that their organization wanted to wipe out. The source of all the curses that cursed the bloodline of heroes (Gods) in the past!

"Damn, why are we only realizing this now! Our master quietly left for some mysterious reason, which must be related to that!" Michael dropped his fist onto the table, and it turned to ashes instantly.

He rushed to go out to check on his master's well-being.

"Please calm down. Our master is so powerful, and she can purify the curses. Let me ask first sister first." Uriel took out her telecommunication talisman and contacted her first sister.

"What did she say?" Michael asked that one thing, representing everyone's question.

"Our master is fine. We are currently having lunch. That kind of curse can't harm our master. So, don't worry." Gabriella's voice came out of the telecommunication talisman for everyone to hear.

That answer instantly made everyone feel relieved.

"Oh, right... For the Holy Church, our master will investigate it by herself. Our master wants to meet the God of Light too. Remiel, you will accompany our master there tomorrow morning." Rafaela continued.

"En, let me do it!" Remiel's glacier-blue eyes glistened with vigor. As the tenth in the Apostles, she was the one who had the rarest opportunity for that honor. She finally got that rare chance!

"Fufu, good for you, Remi~" Uriel gently stroked her youngest junior sister's head.
