My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 684: Can’t Escape
Ai emerged from the void, accompanied by Zera by her side. As they approached the demonic grotesque beast’s lair, the ground trembled, and a sinister laughter echoed. The suspected Heavenly Demon God’s reincarnation laughed out loud with the cult’s leaders and elders.
In contrast to the cult leaders and elders with high-profile appearances, the suspected Heavenly Demon God’s reincarnator appeared as a feminine young man who could easily be mistaken as the disciple of one of the cult’s higher-ups.
Even so, such a cover could be easily seen by Ai’s sharp gaze as she was far beyond experienced in dealing with vile, savage creatures.
Ai and Zera spread the net formation so the villains couldn’t escape. After that, Ai walked over with a scoff. "Enjoy your last breath. You will die today."
"So, the revered Sacred Sakura Goddess deigns to grace us with her presence?" The cult’s leader sneered as if he had expected the sudden visit.
His aura dripped with malice. "You are too overconfident in yourself. You’re alone, not knowing we already expected this. You’re not even the almighty nor the invincible force. Your time is over, Sacred Sakura Goddess. Today, darkness triumphs."
"We’re fishing and caught a super big fish today." The suspected Heavenly Demon God’s reincarnator chuckled in the back row as if he was taking cover behind the leaders and elders.
Seeing the Goddess come alone, the elders immediately confronted her as if they were already prepared to take down a Goddess today.
"..." Zera remained silent, on standby in the encrypted void, ready to assist Ai and unleash a killing blow to the greatest threat variable. However, that sassy girl-like boy behaved like a common mob, not the great villain despite hiding a Godlike power.
<| 11th Rank | Abyss Herald | Murugan | Male (60) | HP: 2.1M / 2.4M | MP: 1.1M / 1.95M | SP: 1.6M / 1.9M |>
<| Talent: 7 Stars | Heavenly(3) |>
Ai peered at the most dangerous threat in the area using Elysia’s shared sacred vision skill. Even though that person looked like a young lady, he was truthfully an authentic guy, hiding a heavy demonic power in his seemingly powerless visage. He was already at 11th Rank, but his power reverse could easily rival 12th Rank immortal or maybe 13th Rank Early stage God.
Regardless, she didn’t need to consider anything anymore, she raised her hands. The villains’ taunts couldn’t affect her. They treated her as if she had fallen into their trap, but they were the ones digging their own grave.
As her magic spell manifested, the hall bloomed with dark sakura blossoms. Each petal shimmered with divine power, countering the oppressive darkness. "Too bad. I’m not the Sacred Sakura Goddess. Your schemes end here."
"!?" Murugan widened his eyes. It was not the sacred power of righteousness as rumored to belong to the Sacred Sakura Goddess, but the blossoming darkness of malice that was even more terrifying than his demonic power authority!
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Ai aimed her killing blow at the suspected reincarnator, intending to take his life with murderous intent.
The dark sakura blossoms exploded, small but powerful in their impact. The entire ground shook as if a massive earthquake had occurred.
A Demi-God cultist died in the initial confrontation, leaving the survivors and injured to retreat and activate the killing formation.
"Goddess Fall Formation, commence!" The cult master raised his finger, triggering the prepared formation to activate.
The ground below hollowed out and instantly became a thick layer of greenish-black mud, drowning the Goddess and trapping her in the sealing ground.
"How annoying." Ai tried to pull herself out of the mud, but she sank deeper and deeper. Let alone fly out, she couldn’t even move her legs because they were stuck tightly in the super sticky mud.
The strange green liquid also partially disrupted her divine energy, making it difficult for her to cast a spell.
"Ha ha ha! Even a God can’t hope to escape from the Legendary Quickmud of Norbury!"
"She will slowly sink and weaken. At that time, we’ll refine her into a divine-tier corpse puppet!"
"We hit a jackpot!"
"But Elder Delang died from the explosion of the dark flowers."
"Don’t mind him. His sacrifices saved us, and he died because he was not strong enough. He is the weakest among us."
Some elders were overjoyed because they managed to trap a Goddess, and she would soon be captured by them. Her fate was already within their palm.
"..." Ai scoffed. Their comrade’s dead body wasn’t even cold yet and they were already badmouthing the dead even though they were laughing together just a moment ago.
"Execute him. Don’t let him escape whatever the cost! Offer his dead body as a tribute to our Goddess." Ai put her hands together, burning the annoying mud, hoping the muddy substance would harden in the face of the extreme temperature.
"This demonic power..." Murugan didn’t know what to say. The newly arrived Goddess wasn’t the Sacred Sakura Goddess, but a God-tier demoness.
She possessed a pristine demonic power that was fascinated with the chaos element within it. They might be from the same kin!
Deciding it would be a waste to let such a divine-tier demoness fall to these old geezers, Murugan spread his arms to the side. "Wait. I need to speak to her."
"You can’t hold back anymore, my pretty disciple? We’ve plenty of time. She can’t even go anywhere." The cult master crossed his arms with a wide grin.
"I’m a guy, dammit..." Murugan mumbled. He looked down on everything, including the elders, leaders, and even the cult master as if they were far beneath him. They didn’t even know the Lord they served was actually him, but he still had to lay low. He secretly helped this cult as the Lord so he could regain his past prime divinity faster.
He wanted to negotiate because there might be a misunderstanding with this devilish beauty. She is not the Sacred Sakura Goddess, the one she wanted to take down. If he could gain a potent demonic ally, the beauty at that, he would take it for sure. They could take down the strongest common threat, the Sacred Sakura Goddess, together.
"!?" Murugan sensed a soundless movement, aimed at his heart. He swiftly evaded, and he was so shocked to find another devilish beauty almost killed him by a hair. If he evaded even a millisecond too late, his demonic heart would be punctured for sure.
"You evaded." Zera murmured, but she did not stop. She kept unleashing torrents of attacks with the intent to kill.
"Stop!" The cult leader shouted out loud, feeling annoyed and furious that another troublemaker had suddenly appeared uninvited.
*Splat!*
Zera unleashed her void trap burst, trapping her target in place without being able to move.
"Heh, have you no shame to bully a junior like me?" Murugan smirked sarcastically because he got trapped by a similar trap to the Legendary Quickmud of Norbury.
"You’re an old monster pretending to be a young sissy boy." Zera snorted in disgust. She reached out to pull Ai out of the strange mud trap. "Kill them all?"
"Kill." Ai replied coldly to the villains. She manifested a blade of chaotic darkness, wielding it to slash at the nearby gasped elder.
The other cultists couldn’t even escape the massacre as she already intended to spare anyone. She went on a killing spree, and Zera remained in position to handle the main culprit.
"Are you with the Sacred Sakura Goddess? You’ve such a devilish power beyond imagination, why stoop so low to serve someone like her? Join me, as I take her down and conquer the worlds and heavens." Murugan used his bewitching spell to influence the devil before him. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. He got stabbed in the chest instead.
"Ghak! Argh! Urgh!" He didn’t even get to say anything else, and the devil kept stabbing him with her cursed dagger like a psychopath devoid of emotion and expression.
"Why aren’t you dead yet?" Zera tilted her head slightly, confused about why the captured villain was still alive even though she had destroyed his internal organs, dantians, and cores.
"Fck you, woman! Why are you unaffected?" Murugan gritted his teeth, furious with hatred.
"You asked the obvious. You’ll probably die once your head and limbs get severed." Zera replied flatly. She aimed her blade at the villain’s head, ready to behead him.
However, he suddenly vanished with a poof. It was really like what Yusagi said, the villain could emerge and disappear mysteriously without leaving a trace like her master’s warp and teleportation technique!

"He escaped?" Ai returned in shock. It only took her a few seconds to slaughter all the higher-ups, but the main villain, the biggest culprit they had to kill at all costs managed to escape under their noses.
"I can’t track him. He vanished mysteriously, and this technique is really similar to our master’s." Zera tried to track the suspected Heavenly Demon God’s reincarnation, but she couldn’t even find a trace.
"How..." Ai felt a bit lost, feeling embarrassed to return empty-handed.
Yet, a paper suddenly fell from above, written with a curse written in disgusting, smelly green ink. Ai caught it with her dark magic, reading the threatening letter in a flat tone. "Curse you, woman. I’ll make a comeback and kill you a thousand times and refine you into a living divine puppet. I’ll kill everyone related to you, ravish your precious people, and slaughter your nine generations of descendants..."
She then gave it to Zera. "This is written for you."
"Burn that disgusting thing. Although he managed to escape, you have already caught his true name. Master Ely can still hunt him down and send a heavenly curse through his true name." Zera rolled her eyes at the lame threat.
She didn’t care about the others, but her precious people were only Elysium Family. He already touched her master’s people, and he wouldn’t last long. Elysia wouldn’t let him live past today.
