My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 675: Masquerade of Demons
The Demon Queen of Envy was renowned for her cunning and manipulative prowess. Still, she got named Aubryn by Elysia. She succumbed because of the irresistible deal.
Though their natures were inversely proportional, Aubryn was chosen to carry out an important task. She had to bring down the Silver Heretic’s high-ranking core members with the scheme they used to employ.
She was there for her mission, ensuring the heretics would spell their own doom. However, the high-ranking secret meeting shocked her because the Silver Heretic’s true aim was to awaken a man-made Great Demon King.
"Why did the sky never notice it? Are the world laws and the sky also corrupted?" Aubryn muttered from within the shadows of the night, wondering what happened to the laws of the sky.
She should be happy if the laws of the sky were corrupted and broken because then her authority over the Caelum World would increase greatly, giving her more souls to exploit.
Unfortunately, she had already been marked by the Sacred Goddess, and although she could run rampant and do whatever she pleased, everything would ring a bell. It would be a bit unpleasant if she displeased her new master, the contract holder. But, her new master was also her sponsor, a pristine big shot. Therefore, she had to behave and do well so she could gain greater benefits. Not to mention, the Sacred Goddess even had the idea to support her to become the strongest great demon!
"I need to do something soon." Aubryn vanished into the darkness of the night.
In a particular barren region about twenty kilometers away from the Silver Heretic’s underground hideout, a demonic portal was spiraling with ominous gloom on the desolate desert.
The Silver Heretic would open the artificially made demonic portal to summon countless demons from the Hell Realm, but they did it with a secret method so nobody could lead this incident to them, including the world laws.
As for the high-ranking gathering, the Silver Heretic’s higher-ups would watch the chaos with huge interest, the incident where countless demons of Hell would swarm the mortal world and dye the land blood red, claiming countless lives for the so-called man-made Great Demon King.
The thick scent of blood could be smelled from hundreds of meters away. Aubryn pinched her nose as she approached the demonic portal because it smelled so foul.
She tried several methods to lock or move the sealed demonic portal, but nothing worked well. She gave up after her magic got swept into the portal. "Alright. I can’t move it. My lady should have predicted this, right? I’ll let her know, and she should have a solution."
"Since this is the case, I’ll summon my minions at their base as well. They tried so hard to avoid it, but the great me is here to ruin you~" Aubryn grinned evilly and vanished from the scene.
When she returned to the underground secret chamber, the place where Silver Heretic’s top officials and VIPs would take shelter during the disaster, she couldn’t help but wonder. "The sky will punish me as well and imprison me in Hell for sure. I hope Godess Ely doesn’t break her promise."
Goddess Ely had a plan to resolve this twisted ritual. She received the task despite all the risks, and she would bring the masquerade of demons the heretics sought to summon. Through this deception, she would lure the heretics into revealing their true intentions and trump cards to the world, ensuring the divine judgment would descend upon the heretics as desired by the Sacred Goddess.
She got an artifact that could teleport her to the Hell Realm and back to her original location. Since all variables were set in motion, she used it to return to her palace as she had to complete all her preparations before midnight arrived.
In the shadowy depths of her amethyst palace, the Demon Queen of Envy smirked as she contemplated the irony of her mission.
She received a great reward for this task, and she was sold because of the deal. However, what the Silver Heretic tried to do truly irked her. They treated the Great Demon Kings like some kind of joke they could create as they pleased.
After knowing this, she would still do something even without the task from Goddess Ely.
"To play the Great Demon of Hell? How delightful." Aubryn mused. Her dark violet eyes glowed with interest.
Donning her most terrifying guise, she transformed herself into an awe-inspiring demonic entity, a towering figure cloaked in shadows with horns that twisted like ancient roots and wings adorned by ominous stars. Every detail of her disguise was designed to inspire fear, the embodiment of the heretics’ dark dreams.
After she morphed into her most terrifying demonic form, she summoned her minions and brought them with her.
She sent subtle whispers through the otherworldly ether, planting thoughts into the minds of the heretics "The time is near. Thy shall rise. Prepare the ritual..."

The Silver Heretic’s core members were known as the Order of the Silver Abyss, a secretive and fanatical group of lunatics.
They had long schemed to disrupt the balance of the world by summoning demons to ruin the world and create a powerful demon to challenge the sky. Believing their efforts were finally bearing fruit, they gathered in their hideout, the safe haven in the depths of an underground valley.
"The Almighty Lord Rogdrumon has given his orders. The time is ripe, begin the ritual, and open the portal! Let the world be cleansed by Almighty Lord Rogdrumon awakening!" With trembling hands, the silver-skinned prophet conveyed the Great Demon King’s words to everyone.
The other leaders gathered in an ancient magic circle formation and began the ritual. Their chants echoed into the void. The air thickened with dark energy as the ground split open, revealing an ominous crimson glowing key.
The glowing key then vanished into thin air and emerged at the demonic portal’s site to open the seal like a key toward a lock.
"Why is the glow still there?" Someone pointed out the oddity. The key warped to the hell gate portal, and the hell portal’s opening was projected well on the hologram for all to see. However, the trace was still there, and it aroused everyone’s astonishment.

And then something appeared.
The Demon Queen of Envy emerged in her hellish demonic form. She rose from the fissure with an ear-splitting laughter. Her presence was overwhelming, and the heretics fell to their knees in both fear and reverence.
Aubryn’s lips curled into a sly smile. She wasn’t the thing the heretics wished to awaken. The trap was sprung, thus she greeted them with a swarm of disaster and demonic invasion.
"You are not the Almighty Lord Rogdrumon!" The silver-skinned prophet pointed his wrinkled finger at the terrifying Great Demon King with a pale cry.
"Come forth, my child. We shall dominate this world." Aubryn spread her arms wide, summoning her minions out of her shadows.
As the extremely dangerous demonic energy spiked, the sky opened, and a torrent of divine punishment rained down upon the heretics. Blinding light engulfed the valley, scorching the sinners and their twisted altars.
The great sinners and heretics screamed as their bodies partially turned to ash. However, nobody got killed despite the underground hideout being turned upside down as if the sky wished to torture them more. Their dark intentions were obliterated by the power of the sky in that instant.

"What, what in the world is happening over there? Someone triggered the sky’s wrath!" The master of the Guild Association darted out the window, staring at the distant sky with a pale face.
Since the cause of the matter could become more dangerous if they couldn’t handle it quickly, he notified the mercenaries and hunters right away as they should make a move as soon as possible.

"The world chaos she warned us has arrived. Are you sure we don’t need to do anything? The sky is enraged, and what happens there may destroy the world order." The ancient bird of paradise perched on the highest branch of the mother tree of the Reservoir Mystic Forest, anxious about the cause that triggered the torrent of divine punishment.
The distance between their forest and that place was more than three thousand miles, but the wrath of the sky could be seen clearly.
"Let’s see what will happen. The era has changed and the world is never the same as I remember. Let things unfold by themselves." The mother tree manifested her spirit, standing next to the bird of paradise.
"You said we don’t need to do anything as long as the chaos never reached our sacred ground, right?"
"I never said that. What the fox lady said really happened. The Goddess behind her is the one who pulled the string behind the scene to purge and cleanse the world from evil heretics."
"I see... I have yet to meet the mentioned fox lady. I wonder what kind of Goddess she serves and what kind of sect she’s from?"
The two ancient beings watched the disaster from their sacred ground. Everything was not clearly visible because the distance was too far even with their Deity-class vision skills, but they could tell the disaster over there could harm them if they carelessly approached there.

As the divine storm subsided, the Sacred Sakura’s crusaders, an elite force of holy warriors, marched into the destroyed area.
"Cleanse this land." Miko came out in her holy armor. She commanded with a resolute voice.
Dozens of massive flying ships and spaceships landed, and the purge began.
The crusaders swiftly moved through the chasm-like ruins to purge any lingering traces of dark energy, ensuring none of the heretics’ remnants could escape.
Hidden in the deep shadows, Aubryn watched everything with amusement. She forced open the return portal to send her minions back to the Hell Realm because the sky was so enraged and she got terrified by it. Strangely, the sky never touched her despite knowing she was still there. Her part in the plan was complete, and the heretics would soon be destroyed.
