Blessing Of Yuri Goddess
Chapter 270 - 99 - A Horrible Torture

As a former noblewoman who accepted defeat with honor, I saw her surrender with her hands raised.

Several of her allies who were hiding behind the thick vines immediately came out. Among them was a fallen noble that was often found in a developing Kingdom. Seeing several girls who were former nobles like that, I breathed a sigh of relief after the defeat of this noble girl did not make the situation complicated again.

Jean, who had defeated the former noble girl, also looked at me as if she wanted to demand something from me for her hard work.

Swiirrll...

With a crown of cherry blossom petals flying and spinning above her head, I felt like I was under pressure to give a gentle caress to her who had now succeeded in winning the duel filled with honor.

"My Monarch, this hard work doesn't get a reward from you?" Jean said with a look in her eyes that wanted to ask for a reward for herself.

"..." I was speechless after seeing her behavior of wanting to be pampered like this.

Caress...

Caress...

By giving a gentle caress to her hair, I could see Jean's smile who looked happy about this.

Before my gift continue to anything else, the woman who was a former noble cleared her throat to stop me from giving Jean the gift of stroking her hair.

"Please be patient a little longer," Jean said, giving the former noble girl a sharp, murderous glare.

With her status has been defeated by Jean in an honorable duel, it made her stand still and wait for Jean to be satisfied in receiving my gift that stroked her hair.

Caress...

Caress...

The caress of Jean's hair soon ended and made me glance at all the members of the cult, who already surrendering.

I still don't know where I am at the moment, but I'm definitely inside the headquarters of the heretical sect that is responsible for this terrible natural disaster.

Judging from the several living roots of the plants, the area I was currently stand seemed to be connected to one of the Duchess's territories which was a bit safer for conducting honorable duels like this.

After the situation became more stable and new sect members started approaching the room surrounded by plants like this, they slowly kneeling in front of me.

Some of the cult members who didn't know about this just stood there in silence after seeing their former cult members paying their respects to me by kneeling. Jean was no exception, she began to kneel after being satisfied with the gift I gave to her.

After some head-stroking reward business was done, I was faced with a choice of interrogating or torturing to this surrendered cult member.

I, who didn't want to make this problem any bigger and want to attend the lunch party from Earl Timoti's main family, asked the former noble girl a question.

"I see… you are wearing the insignia of the royal family that once reigned supreme in the Aurora Kingdom before it fell to commoner. Have we met before?" I asking her a question that tested her nobility.

If Zoe's words were true, then this girl was one of the descendants of the nobility who had received a curse from the butterfly's wings several years ago.

"W-We've never met, Lily-sama."

"But I got what I shouldn't have gotten through you."

With such a short, clear, and concise answer. I could feel her anger starting to trigger Zoe's butterfly wing curse that made her unable to lie as long as she lived.

"That's interesting, you're a descendant of that family, huh?"

"How do you feel after living with honesty?"

This question I gave seemed like a tease for her who had gone through some hardships. With her current condition who can't say a single lies, the curse that forced her own will to be honest already made me see her suffering in this life.

"I have repeatedly been discriminated against for having to be honest at all times, Lily-sama."

"A noble who is unable to hide his lies has become a deadly weapon for my family who can no longer come up with reasons that can withstand our forced honesty like this."

"Instead of being an honest and successful noble family, we have honestly exposed the evil roots of our family without any chance to utter any lies, Lily-sama."

The former noble girl's face was lowered and she held back her anger. There was nothing she could do after getting the curse given by Zoe. Her actions that did not lie made me realize the choice she had given to me before.

Torture or interrogation?

It was so funny after she couldn't lie like this.

If that had happened, then I wouldn't have needed to torture her after she became an honest person without any lies in this world.

"Is that the reason why you joined this cult together with these people?" I asked, glancing at the people behind her.

"We are a big family, Lily-sama. With our weakness of not being able to lie, this fallen main family sold their assets to escape to a peaceful region to avoid human contact that had cursed their family. The assets that were sold included human assets as well. We are those assets..." with her voice trying to act calm without remembering the past making some sobs escape from her eyelids.

I seem to have seen the suffering they deserve.

A curse that makes someone honest without any lies in every word, I like this kind of curse.

It seems like I need to take advantage of Zoe's curse and pull her into joining the new sect run by Jean.

"Not too bad," I said coldly to her.

Without any empathy or sympathy for the suffering she had experienced, I gave a smile like a villainess.

"Isn't the curse I gave you too easy?" I said with a smile that made fallen noble in front of me shiver in fear.

My hand immediately gave a small signal to Momo to immediately return to my grip.

"How about you repent your sins by feeling the torture that destroys your body and swears loyalty to the Goddess of Destruction then fulfill her request of not wanting to descend into this rotten world again?" I continued my words while releasing several blast of magic wave from my Monarch of Holy Destruction power.

Baasshh!!

Baaammm!!

With the overflow of magical energy that came from the power of the Monarch of Holy Destruction, I gave her several choices.

The pressure from my destructive magical energy flow like this made the girl in front of me immediately kneel.

"If that is the torture Lily-sama wants to do, then we will happily accept it..." she replied while giving a sad look in front of my eyes.

I, who didn't care about that gaze, immediately pulled out the cursed Odachi that was in my grip and gave her a slash that made her feel the atonement filled with pain.

Slaasshh!!

As I made this slash, my vision seemed to slow down and I listened to the words of the Goddess of Destruction in my head.

[ Oh! Lily-chan, you can play the role of a villain as well? ]

[ I was quite surprised by this sudden change as a villain role. ]

In my gaze that saw time passing slowly like this, I also saw the sharp edge of my cursed Odachi filled with the purifying fire of sin that had once burned Jean's body.

[ The method you used was like forcing them to worship me with fear and punishment in the past, Lily-chan. ]

[ It's a unique way that I didn't think of before, but please be careful with such a cruel way. I don't want some of my followers to experience trauma from my Monarch that was personally chosen by me. ]

I listened to the words of the Goddess of Destruction along with the movements of my cursed Odachi that began to tear some of the realities in frozen time like this.

"I know that, Goddess of Destruction."

"The method I'm using is both a stick and a carrot at the same time. In order to receive forgiveness for their sins, they must pay for it with pain before returning to purity. Shouldn't they understand what they've done before understanding what you, the Goddess of Destruction, want?"

"This is the price that must be paid to atone for the sins they have committed."

[ I understand that, Lily-chan. ]

[ But, please don't be sadistic. ]

"I'll try not to be too sadistic," I replied with my hand movements starting to feel faster after the slow flowing of time was destroyed by the cursed Odachi.

I don't know what kind of power Momo has, but it seems like my cursed Odachi can cut through time.

What a terrifying power, if the blessing of collaboration from three different Goddesses is completed, how great will my power be in the future?

As I was slashing through this slow-moving time, I saw a magical slash with a distinctive red-black color.

Slllaasshh...

Baaammm!!

The return of time made me unleash a purifying attack that cut down the sins they had committed. With my cursed Odachi slash and their body slashes by the purifying fire, I saw the divine flame taking place before me.

Their body parts began to grow back and create a pure body from the sins they had pay before. Just like what happened to the new cult members who had received the purifying fire from the Goddess of Destruction, I could see several young girls who seemed like they could help Jean in the future in organizing this new cult.

Somehow, I feel happy about this after some of my tasks became lighter.

Through their bodies that were being purified, I also saw the body of a young girl who was no less beautiful than Jean.

"Hmm... I feel like my position is being threatened at this point," Jean muttered clearly beside me.

After delivering an attack using my cursed Odachi, I put Momo's sharp blade into the sheath of her cursed Odachi.

Sriiikkk...

Plllaapp…

"You can open your eyes now," I said coldly.

Right before my eyes, a young girl who was a former noble of the Aurora Kingdom opened her eyes wide.

I already giving her torture that she must endure as long as she lives in this cruel world.

"This is the torture I want to give you. Starting today... you will be Jean's secretary in fighting the heretical sect that makes it difficult for the Goddess of Destruction to sleep soundly in the Goddess' realm," I said in a cold tone expression.

As a result of my words, Jean screamed beside me, "HAAAHH!! NOOOO!!"
