My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 640: Compatibility Test
Elysia and her group entered ES Nirvana’s expansive VIP hangar. Their eyes were immediately drawn to rows of imposing mechs, each uniquely designed with sleek armor, powerful weaponry, and custom paintwork that hinted at different combat specialties.
The lights cast a metallic sheen on the mech exteriors, making them look like a metal guardian army. Some mechs were lightweight, while others had heavy plating, designed to withstand intense conflicts.
However, it wasn’t the one Xentia wished to show. She asked the disciples and representative elders to choose the mechs from hundreds of the latest mechs in Hangar-V1.
However, she guided Elysium members to the inner area to show them the exclusive mechs created specifically for her fellow sisters, each one designed with their affinities and personalities taken into consideration. "They are the latest generation Elysium Mechs manufactured with the highest-tier materials. They are machines capable of killing the Gods."
"Wow!~ You’re so amazing, Xen!" Sylvia spun around, amazed by the mechs in this inner hanger. She floated to the cool-looking dragon-like black mech with her name labeled on its virtual screen.
The dragon-like black mech stood tall and imposing. It was a fifteen meters tall giant, and its dark armor gleamed under the light. With angular yet aerodynamic lines, its body resembled a fierce dragon poised to strike. Its head was crowned with sharp, golden horns that swept back like a dragon’s crest, framing eyes that glowed with pulsing crimson light, giving it a fearsome gaze that exuded an intimidating aura.
Its wings were enormous and folded along its back, designed as draconic wings with dark metallic feathers edged in deep red. Clawed hands and feet were reinforced with razor-sharp talons. Along its spine, a row of vented energy ports flickered with a smoldering red glow, channeling its immense power through the frame. Its signature weapon, a massive energy lance resembling a dragon’s fang was stored along its back, and a huge disintegrator rifle was stationed next to it.
Each exclusive mech shared some similarities with the dragon as their base design, but each still highlighted its owner’s unique traits.
"Wow..." Sylvia’s eyes sparkled in front of her cool exclusive mech. She finally understood why her master was so fond of the cool mech. It was truly breathtaking.
"Woah... Amazing!" Elysia clasped her hands with sparkling eyes. She had already received a modified, divine-tier exclusive mech, and had yet to use it, but here, Xentia wanted to give her another one, the bigger one than the last one. Strangely, she could not find the one for her here.

"No, master. The one I wanted to present specifically to you is not in this hangar. It is placed in a special place." Xentia pointed her hand towards the wall, more precisely, at the secret hangar behind it
The girls were walking around Hangar-V2, appreciating their exclusive mechs. However, Rhea noticed something was strange. She and her fellow sisters received their exclusive mechs, including the recently joined members, but she couldn’t find Elysia, Elena, Ai, Zera, and Xentia’s mechs anywhere.
She looked aside and found Xentia guiding Elysia, Elena, Ai, and Zera to the deeper hangar through a secret entrance. The wall slowly opened, revealing the way to Hangar-V3.
Seeing that, the girls soon followed Xentia to the secret hangar.
As the light got turned on, they were shocked to see the colossal mech which was three times larger than the biggest exclusive mech meant for the Goddesses. The mechs in Hangar-V1 were five to ten meters tall, and the exclusive ones in Hangar-V2 were fifteen to twenty-five meters tall.
The latest exclusive mech Xentia created for Elysia was more than seventy meters tall! With a more aggressive design, more advanced technology, greater destructive power, and tremendous power, it would put the other mechs like a bunch of harmless babies in comparison.
"Isn’t this too big compared to the others?" Fortuna gulped her saliva, believing this mech alone could potentially destroy a world. Much more, the one who would pilot it was none other than a divine being.
The exclusive mech for her and her fellow Goddess sisters was only about 20-ish meters tall, but if lined up with this colossal mech, then it would look like a five-year-old baby to an adult in comparison.
"This mech’s codename is EMC XN-EL, the guardian-type unit. Due to its destructive power and massive energy capacity requirement, we need three mind-synced divine-tier pilots and one maneuver control for it." Xentia presented her latest masterpiece to everyone. She glanced at her stunned master as if she knew her master would like it, and she was proud to show it off.
"We need four people in total?" Elena blinked her eyes in surprise.
Although all mechs were already equipped with their respective core, it was still lacking the power. If she interpreted Xentia’s words literally, she felt the mentioned pilots would be the power sources to maximize the mech’s potential, and this one would require three Goddesses as pilots and one maneuver!
"I can see who will pilot it. However, are you referring to me when you say the maneuver control?" Zera crossed her arms, asking in wonder.
"I am the maneuver. Lady Zera, please be our guardian in EMC XN-EL’s cockpit." Xentia asked politely and respectfully.
"Alright." Zera had no objections to doing so. Considering it was still a test run and the risk involved in this star annihilator machine was huge, they did require an additional guardian.
"W-wow..." Elysia was stunned and impressed. She couldn’t describe it with proper words, but this mech was the biggest and coolest one she had ever seen.
Afterward, she talked about the mech with Xentia, Elena, and Ai while reading the manual book about EMC XN-EL mech’s features.
A few moments later, Xentia asked everyone to go to the changing room as they had to wear the mobile space suits because they were leaving Quadtria’s orbit.
---
After looking around and picking their mechs, the disciples and representative elders were guided by the guide robots into the changing room as they had to wear the mobile space suits for a zero-gravity environment.
Once suited up, they proceeded to the compatibility test in the cockpit of their chosen mechs.
"Mama, I’m back!~" Miko waved her hand as she floated closer cheerfully. She threw herself into her mama’s arm with a cheerful laugh.
"Welcome back, Miko." Elysia gave Miko a head pat.
"Hehe~ is this outfit for mech’s pilot, mama?" Miko chuckled softly.
"Yes, we need to wear this mobile space suit." Elysia was thankful this space bodysuit wasn’t that tight-fitting. She then noticed Miko came with two saintess friends. "It’s been a while, Meiying, Mingyue."
"H-hello! Pleased to meet you, Miko’s mama, I mean, Sacred Sakura God-desh!" Mingyue stuttered nervously as she greeted Miko’s Goddess mama. She bowed respectfully, but she accidentally bit her tongue.
"It is our utmost honor to be in your presence, Sacred Sakura Goddess." Meiying kept her composure and greeted politely.
"Since you’re here, why don’t you join us to explore outer space and try to pilot one of our latest mechs? Miko go to the changing room with your friends and return for the compatibility test." Elysia patted Miko’s head gently.
"Yes, mama." Miko nodded in understanding. She beckoned her saintess friends to follow her.
"Please enter your chosen mech’s cockpit and start the compatibility test. Only if you achieve a score above 80% can you pilot it. If you are compatible, please proceed to the simulation tutorial. Respond with a salute if you are ready." Xentia clapped her hands, informing the disciples and representative elders.
"Yes, ma’am!" The disciples and representative elders replied with a salute.
They were already in the cockpit of their chosen mechs, and what they needed to do after that was start the system.
The screens lit up, and sensors seemed to come to life as the mechs’ systems began with the scan for compatibility test with their new pilots.
One by one, the pilots adjusted to the controls, feeling the power thrumming beneath them as the mech’s core recognized their presence. As the interfaces displayed their statistics and system integrity, they felt the adrenaline of a new frontier, ready to take on anything that lay ahead.
*Beep!* *Beep!* *Beep!*
Several mechs glowed red and forcefully deactivated the compatibility test due to the incompatibility with the pilot’s affinity.
"No way... why does this metal golem reject me?" Jophiel took off her helmet, muttering in disbelief.
"That’s a mech, not a golem, Disciple Jophi. Your compatibility score shows you only have a 20% match for fighter-type light-element mechs. Please change to the one that suits your affinity and element." Xentia reminded in a solemn tone. She didn’t like it when her mech creation was compared to that archaic, lame golem.
Jophiel jumped down from the mech and went directly to her master, asking for a favor. "Master, what should I do? Can you please help me to find the mech that suits me?"
"Hmm..." Elysia tapped her chin as she observed the mechs in the Hangar-V1. She checked at Jophiel more closely, and Jophiel looked at her with a cute expression, eyes full of expectation. "Fufu, your affinity is in the dark magic class, so the light element is a big no. The ones in the dark-model row are your choice. I suggest you go for the ranged-type ones over there."
"But, it’s all dark..." Jophiel felt a little gloomy.
"You can customize it to dark pink later." Elysia replied with a wink.
"Jophi will do as master says." Jophiel did as her master said and went to the dark-element ranged-type mech.
Those who got rejected and failed to pass the compatibility test also asked for advice and recommendations from their Goddess Master as they had to switch to the one best suited for them.
