NOVPUB"Hmm-mm~" Elysia hummed melodiously while dressing Megami up beautifully.
Because her divine avatar would ascend as the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin for various purposes, then she had to ensure the vibe and appearance would fit that title in their first meeting with the Heaven Rank members at the Heavenly Palace.
"I guess that’s all. This is the 156th artifact..." Ai put the last divine artefact into Megami’s celestial dress.
"..." Megami behaved like an obedient girl.
She was clad in a white celestial dress to match the theme of the world of Gods and Immortals in Heaven. A sparkling golden halo of merit and a large chakram with the elemental art of a divine sun floated behind her head.
Bracelets, necklaces, headbands, anklets and many other divine artefacts had been equipped.
If she thought about it, her current appearance resembled her form during the battle against the strongest Ruvoid God in outer space five years ago. However, she received many divine artefacts this time.
"Yup, wonderful~" Elysia stepped back and nodded in agreement, satisfied with her finishing touches.
"Mm." Megami nodded slightly.
"As gorgeous as Ely’s twin. Ely, that’s all for the preparation. We shall return to simplicity to test their honesty." Elena smiled with satisfaction, but she felt like she was missing something.
"Yes, this is Megami’s battle mode, however, without the six angel wings. I haven’t repaired it yet. Megami, deactivate them all and return to simplicity." Elysia nodded in understanding and gave her orders.
"Understood." Megami put her hands together.
All the divine artefacts attached to her body were deactivated and then disappeared, returning to the shared inner space.
Some protective bracelets and necklaces re-emerged to ensure her safety. Her divine dress transformed into a white yukata-like cultivation robe with a hint of bluish-purple and purple cherry blossom motifs.
No divine aura radiated from her body. She wore several hair ornaments, and her simple form was completed.
"Come here. Give mama a warm hug." Elysia spread her arms, encouraging Megami with a gentle smile.
Megami approached obediently and hugged her mama.
She knew she wasn’t the complete being, more like the living puppet, the clone created by her mama’s divine magic. However, she would always enjoy this kind of warmth.
’I will miss you, Megami. Please be careful with everyone from Heaven Rank. Don’t hesitate to use the emergency measure if they cross our bottom line.’ Elysia spoke through spiritual connection.
’I will complete my task flawlessly, other me- mama.’ Megami replied with a great sense of responsibility. Her main task is to collect reliable information directly, not just words from the Heaven Rank’s members.
’We are counting on you. Please stay a low key and follow the plans. I will take over if an urgent situation occurs. See you in two weeks~’ Elysia patted Megami’s shoulder with an encouraging smile.
’You too, mama. Please be careful with your visit to Earth.’ Megami nodded in understanding, but she couldn’t help but return the concern to her mama.
’Yeah, we foresaw Earth doesn’t bode well. That’s why I will visit Earth through Gaia’s connection. I can’t use the line through Erina. She probably thought I had fallen fighting the great evil and forgot about me...’ Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.
’She won’t. No one can forget the God they met in their life. Erina is your only follower on Earth, and your impression on her heart is so massive, Ely.’ Elena entered the conversation.
’Understood. It’s almost the appointed time. Let’s proceed to the Heavenly Altar.’ Elysia nodded and invited everyone out of the house.
"E-eh?" Amy was stunned when she discovered Goddess Ely’s divine avatar was the one who would go to the Divine World, not the real one.
"I have my reasons and purposes. Don’t leak it to the others, okay? Your Lord will know about this sooner or later, but don’t spill anything." Elysia reminded Amy with a faint smile.
"O-okay..." Amy nodded like an obedient girl, feeling a little afraid of the implied meaning behind Goddess Ely’s smile.
Elysia ushered Megami to stand in the middle of the Heavenly Altar.
"Can you stand up?" Zi Xuan stretched out her hand to Amy.
"I can." Amy took a deep breath and got up. She went to the Heavenly Altar and stood beside Megami, Goddess Ely’s divine avatar.
Elysia sent a message to the Heaven Channel and gave Megami the Sacred Heaven Grimoire. "Take this with you."
"Mm." Megami received the grimoire and put it into her subspace.
Elysia, Elena, and Ai waved their hands to send Megami away. Megami also waved her hand before the blurry light enveloped the scenery.
They flashed at impressive speed, piercing the sky and beyond like a comet. Megami immediately activated her divine magic to prevent the ascension phenomenon from occurring.
The golden comet crossed the sky, penetrating the realm boundary without obstacles. The sky gladly invited them to pass. The gate of heaven manifested and opened majestically, forming a portal to the Heavenly Realm, the highest realm layer of the Heavens.
The Heavenly Palace, a celestial realm beyond mortal imagination, became the stage for the divine convergence. The Gods and Immortals of the Heaven Rank gathered in the summoning altar chamber to welcome the most awaited entity, the respected one even to the Lord of Heaven, the Heavenly Dao.
As the Heavenly Altar glowed with a bright golden hue, the air was charged with the harmonious energies of the cosmos. Celestial currents weaved through the palace, creating a symphony of gentle hums and celestial resonances.
Megami opened her eyes with a profound gaze. The Gods and Immortals before her sight were adorned in ethereal attire, garments woven from Heaven’s finest threads, reflecting the essence of their dominions and forces they possessed.
The Heaven Rank members were all ethereal Goddesses and dashing Gods, but they seemed to form a divine council.
They stood in a semicircle around the Heavenly Altar. Their expressions ranged from solemn contemplation to joyous camaraderie, reflecting their diverse emotions.
He-Dao, the most respected being in the Heavens and Worlds, was seated in his Celestial Throne. The highest sovereign of the Planet Quadtria looked down at the newly arrived guests with his divine gold brilliant gaze, inspecting them deeply.
After the surge of heavenly energy subsided from the altar, he got up from his throne and walked over. "Welcome to my Heavenly Palace, esteemed Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin."
"..." Megami was silent for a moment, staring expressionlessly at the approaching Sovereign of Heaven.
In terms of appearance and strength, he was the one who should be at the pinnacle of all in this planet. However, she could see a hint of disguised worry from his brilliant golden eyes.
<| 18th Rank | Sovereign of Heaven | Heavenly Dao | N/A | HP: 105.1M / 211.8M | MP: 41.2M / 49.9M | SP: 41.8M / 49.3M |>
<| Talent: 7 Stars | Heavenly(7) |>
<| STR: 49.2K | DEX: 39.3K | CON: 12.1K | PER: 11.5K | ARC: 15.1K | VIT: 41.9M | LCK: 8888 |>
Megami felt incredibly surprised when she checked He-Dao’s status screen, but she disguised her surprise perfectly. She remained calm, but she could tell her mama was also surprised.
’His stats are higher than we thought!’
’Ely, you forgot your multiple E stats. He is an authentic 18th Rank God and obviously super strong.’
’He probably received several buffs to bluff his charisma and strength to leave a good impression.’
’Oow, yes! Low key, low profile... No competition. Go for it, sister~’
Elysia, Elena, Ai, and Miko chatted in an exclusive spiritual connection. Megami could hear them, but she couldn’t respond as she had to answer the greeting from the Sovereign of Heaven.
"You invited a lot of people, Lord He-Dao." Megami stretched her hand to the side to prevent Amy from falling to the floor.
Amy looked back with gratitude. She experienced the heavenly teleportation countless times, but she was currently injured and had yet to fully recover. Her legs went into jelly, and she almost fell to the floor, embarrassing herself in front of her Lord and everyone. However, Megami saved her from embarrassment.
"They are so eager to welcome you, my lady. Please rest assured. They are the Heaven Rank members, my trusted people." He-Dao spread his arms wide.
All the Gods and Immortals around the Heavenly Altar put their hands to their chests and bowed slightly. They said their welcome to the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin politely and respectfully.
However, some of them still harboured suspicions because they could faintly sense the mentioned Supreme Goddess’ physique only at the 13th Rank. As for the Supreme Goddess’ divinity and aura, they couldn’t sense anything because she resembled a 0th Rank mortal!
"I’m returning the Agent of Dark Realm to you. Amy did a good job but she needs a lot of rest to recover." Megami pushed Amy into He-Dao’s arms, using the momentum and opportunity to Amy’s advantage.
"Amy?" He-Dao was perplexed, but his agent was already in his arms while he was still wondering.
"Wha- wha, wha what? Please forgive me for my failure, my lord!" Amy blushed fiercely. She felt too embarrassed and happy to be hugged by her Lord, but she knew her place and immediately knelt down.
"Rise to your feet, Agent of Dark Realm. The Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin acknowledged you, and you should be proud of your achievement." He-Dao moved his hand, making Amy return to her feet.
He then beckoned to the two Goddesses behind him, and they immediately approached. "Take her to the Heavenly Pool and prepare a place for her to stay in my cultivation chamber for her faster recovery."
"Yes, my lord." The two Goddesses bowed respectfully. They put Amy’s arm around their shoulders and then left the summoning altar chamber.
"My Lord, sorry for the delay."
A giant God entered the chamber excitedly. He raised his hand in greeting while observing the seemingly black-haired ordinary Goddess on the Heavenly Altar. He frowned and proposed an idea with a big smile.
"Oh, the Supreme One has arrived? But, why doesn’t she look like the highest being of ultimate rank? She could be an imposter, my lord. Let me take the bullet to reveal her true face!"
"Titan of Angelos, stop right there!" He-Dao spoke with a hint of anger, but he never expected his people would make a move towards his most awaited guest of destiny!
*Swoosh!*
Megami remained calm. She stood her ground when the giant man suddenly appeared before her. Yet, the other party hit her without hesitation.
*Bam!*
