My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 758: Burned Like Holy Fire
He-Dao was still surprised by the Sovereign of Abyss' transformation, but he swiftly looked at the Heavenly Realm's portal.
A being of supreme divinity, Elysia's support helped the heavenly army push the abyss back to its core domain. Her presence illuminated the battlefield with a radiance.
She was still hovered by the realm's portal. Her flowing celestial robes were untouched by the chaos around her. The heavens seemed to whisper her name and the Heavenly Realm pulsed with her presence.
He knew it wouldn't be easy to end this Nirvana Great War, and the Sovereign of Abyss, the one he swore to destroy, also wouldn't be that simple to kill.
The final decisive battle was about to begin, but all the heavenly agents rushed to his side, leaving Elysia, the most important key figure alone!?
Even though he was furious about it, he had to do something to the newly powered-up Sovereign of Abyss first.
Sadly, an immediate dimensional collapse smashed against them, inflicting heavy unavoidable damage.
"Absolute Defense!" He-Dao erected his strongest defensive measure, triggering the 36 heavenly agents as catalysts to strengthen his technique.
Sadly, countless roots emerged from the ground, smashing their barrier into smithereens.
*Shatter!* *Bam!*
"I won't let you." Elysia unleashed countless nirvana threads from the higher dimension to forcefully drag the frontline warriors back to the safe zone.
Nirvana Abyssal Demon God loomed in the abyssal core domain. Its countless abyssal roots and eyes opened, covered in chaotic rhythms. Emerged from its form, a shapeless horror twisted into existence, growing bigger and scarier.
Seeing its ambush failed to kill anyone, it shifted its gazes to the surrounding warriors. Unfortunately, some mysterious threads emerged out of thin air to pull them away from its range of attacks. They disappeared into unknown void with a puff, bypassing its God Emperor's aura and interference!?
Noticing it wasn't an immediate occurrence, it immediately summoned its countless roots from the ground to kill everyone in its domain before they got pulled back by the mysterious threads.
"Tch..." Elysia clicked her tongue, feeling dejected and irritated because she failed to save several divine warriors from the frontline in time.
Three Immortal Lords got trapped, unable to escape, and more than a hundred divine warriors got killed.
Many heavenly army's forces kept coming from the Heavenly Realm through the portal to join the battle. Their tasks on the other side were already completed, but the situation in this frontline became worse.
He-Dao was down, and a new super-powerful entity stood as the enemy's final boss.
"Ghak!" He-Dao coughed out a mouthful of blood.
Elysia managed to pull him and everyone to safety, but he tanked the heavy impact before those calamity roots smashed him and any heavenly agents.
"My Lord!" Yuna immediately cast her healing spell, but the effect was miniscule. The other heavenly agents and servants also provided their immediate aid to heal and help their Lord to recover.
Their Lord was in a terrible state and his internal divine power was in complete disarray. Moreover, he had barely any divine power left. It took him almost everything to kill the Sovereign of Abyss, but the enemy had many tricks. It somehow survived and got revived as a new fused entity no weaker than a God Emperor in prime condition...
"So, you are the one behind his confidence, huh..." Helfheim stared at the existence in the distance. That white-haired six-winged Goddess inflicted a huge fear on all abyssal creatures, including his trump card babe.
Due to the fusion, he also felt fear, but he managed to overcome it somehow.
"How should I address you? Nirvana Abyssal Demon God, no, you are the Sovereign of Abyss. After your fusion, your physical condition changed drastically, but have you become a shemale now? Are you a he or she now?" Elysia tried to stall for time because it still required her one hour at the earliest before she could unleash the purge of finality from the abyssal power and cursed energy stored in the Nirvana Barrier.
"I can sense your intention. I won't let you succeed, woman." Helfheim felt offended for no reason, but he took it for granted because he could sense an unpredictable danger from those massive divine magic circles throughout the Nirvana Barrier.
Yet, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura from the six-winged White Goddess. Not just her aura, but her presence also emitted something that she was so familiar with.
Lady Nirvana's presence, the one who protected the heavens alone by sacrificing herself, overlapped with the six-winged White Goddess. She strangely possessed a huge resemblance to that woman... similar vibe, elegance, pose, stance, and demeanor.
"???" Elysia had no idea what was happening. Helfheim suddenly froze, and no corrupted monsters made any move.
'Lady Nirvana... is it possible that my guess is correct? He-Dao and Helfheim were once a love rival who tried to win your love?' Elysia dared to ask the related person directly.
'What are you saying all of a sudden, Elysia? There's nothing between us.' Lady Nirvana was flabbergasted. Elysia asked such nonsense all of a sudden and she found it was astonishing remembering their current situation.
'I don't see it that way. What I see is, that Helfheim probably wanted to win you over but failed. Since he couldn't have you, he chose a drastic measure for it. Look, he's morphed into your appearance now, albeit demonized. As for He-Dao, you're his dearest one. Don't play dumb. Be honest with me. We might perish in the next moment.' Elysia crossed her arms as she gazed at the frozen Helfheim in the distance through her sacred vision, and then to the heavily injured He-Dao.
'...' Lady Nirvana went silent as she had no proper answer to respond.
Honestly, she was still unable to discover the true reason for why and when Helfheim possessed the abyssal power of corruption. They were three heavenly laws, the highest law, and the divinity of their own world. They were once living in harmony despite originating from different worlds.
But after that, their worlds got destroyed and reformed into one merged world, leaving He-Dao to protect the world as the Lord of Heaven and Helfheim as the Sovereign of Abyss, trying to devour everything.
'Can you now guess his true reason for everything he has done?' Elysia pressed further. It was actually unnecessary since Helfheim's fate was sealed, but she at least wished to know more about Lady Nirvana's feelings.
'...' Lady Nirvana couldn't recall it, or she didn't even know what to answer Elysia with. She could only shake her head, but no words were uttered.
'I see...' Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.
"Who are you?" Helfheim asked in both disbelief and curiosity.
That Goddess might be the new Nirvana or might be Nirvana's reincarnation, but more dangerous. He tried to measure her power, but sadly, he couldn't estimate her true strength even with his peak God Emperor rank.
Moreover, up until now, she never ever once unleashed her decisive ultimate attack because she mostly took the role of support. She got attached to the Nirvana Barrier through countless spiritual threads, unable to move from there. She was the cause of why the heavenly army managed to push the abyssal creatures back to the core domain and inflicted a huge fear on his trump card.
If she released her divine power and made a move to control him personally, it might be dangerous. The thought of it frightened him even more, and because of that, he had to be more careful as he shouldn't take action otherwise the unknown hastily.
"Who I am is not important. This is about you and what you will do."
"Are you Nirvana? She should have perished along with the collapse of the Nirvana Barrier... If that is you, why do you always choose to stand in my way, opposing me all the time, eh? Why did you always protect that loser? Have you chosen him over me?" Helfheim grasped his head as if he was suppressing his feelings.
"Nah, you got the wrong person. I'm only here to protect my person and my promise." Elysia flapped her hand to deny the claim directed at her.
"Strange... if you don't want to disclose anything, then this sovereign shall capture you and force you to speak. The magic reflux will be severe once your grand magical formation is shattered, woman." Helfheim regained his composure as he sensed the increasing danger from those massive divine magic circles on the Nirvana Barrier.
He commanded his legion of abyssal creatures to charge. He detached his roots and flew to the enemy's side. As the first opening attack, he threw two bombs of nihility to gauge the six-winged white Goddess' strength.
"Please stall for time. 51 minutes before the purge of finality. We must stop them." Elysia called forth the heavenly army to advance to confront the corrupted monsters that were rapidly approaching.
"Are you confident that you can end that thing, milady?" The Dragon Sovereign asked to make sure.
"Yes, I guarantee it with my life." Elysia nodded in reply.
"Alright, thank you for the warning. We shall stop them even with our lives at stake." The Dragon Sovereign put his hand on his chest.
He then glanced at the other Immortal Lords and God Kings, conveying the obvious. They nodded at each other, and one of the God Kings stepped forward to face the remaining heavenly army.
"O warriors of heavens... today, we do not stand as distant watchers of fate. Before us marches a tide of chaos that seeks to unmake our heaven and the world below, to drown it in fear and ruin, just like the two final calamities that destroyed our worlds.
But we shall not falter as we have the Supreme Goddess on our back!
For every cry of despair, we shall answer with a roar of hope. For every step they take, we shall strike with the fury of stars. You are not mere warriors, you are light forged in a heavenly will, the shield of the heavens, the wrath of the divine!
Let those corrupted monsters learn that the heavens do not break... they burn. And when we descend upon this final battlefield, we shall not bring mercy. We shall bring judgment upon them.
So rise, my champions. Let your wings blaze, let your blades sing. We fight for victory, and we do not forgive ruin! For our world and future, kill them all!"
The heavenly army roared in unison. Their celestial armor gleamed as they prepared to confront the corrupted monsters despite knowing they might be unable to return alive. Their hearts burned like a holy fire, and they knew victory was around the corner. Even if the Lord of Heaven was weakened and heavily injured, they still had the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin!
