EP.126 It’s Time for the Goddess’s ‘Torture’ (1) 

【Yin Rune Artist】 (Bound to user upon clear) 

The Imprint of an Irresistible Slave. 

– Engraves a ‘rune’ (mark) of the caster’s chosen effect on the body of a touched target. 

– The rune encroaches upon the target’s mind and body, distorting their senses or triggering specific behaviors at the caster’s will. 

– The variety of runes that can be engraved is limited only by the caster’s imagination. 

According to the status window, Onyx’s unique trait is “Yin Rune.” 

The power to engrave whatever desired effect onto someone he touches. 

“This despicable goddess possesses the power to purify yin runes. She’s always erased the marks Onyx-nim painstakingly imprinted on our subordinates,” Morgana said, approaching Lumina and tilting her jaw up. 

“But now, the goddess is an empty shell, unable to move a finger on her own in this place. In other words…” 

“In other words, I can engrave a rune on her without issue,” I finished for her, prompting Morgana to nod with a satisfied smile. 

To corrupt a holy goddess with my own hands. 

Just imagining that innocent face twisted in pleasure, a lewd tattoo branded on her lower belly, made my lips curl upward. 

But the moment I stepped toward Lumina, Morgana stepped ahead and blocked my way. 

“Onyx-nim, before you engrave your magnificent rune, don’t you think we need an expert to make this stage more lively?” 

“An expert?” 

“At the news of your return, he’s surely hurrying over joyfully. He should arrive any moment…” 

Even as she finished, the heavy sound of the elevator arriving rang out from behind us as the doors slid open with a metallic groan. 

Kuuuu-oooong… 

With the arrival of the heavy elevator, the cool steel doors slid to both sides. 

From within strode a man, impeccably dressed in a bartender’s uniform, not a strand of hair out of place. 

His silvery-grey hair was neatly parted 7:3, and his intellectual impression was completed with a monocle. 

On his gloved, slender fingers, he held a wine glass. 

Inside the glass, a peculiar pink liquid squirmed minutely, as if alive. 

“Congratulations on your awakening, Onyx-nim.” 

The man approached and bowed courteously, his smooth smile hiding a subtle, unsettling cruelty. 

“I, Thanatos, cannot express how joyful I was to hear you had awoken.” 

I can’t say I’m that glad when a fellow man worries about me. 

“Mm, yes. Thanatos. I’m relieved to see you’re safe as well.” 

My hammy performance as ‘leader’ only made Thanatos bow even lower, as if even more honored. 

“To see you so vigorous upon waking from a long coma finally puts me at ease. By the way…” 

Having finished his greeting, he adjusted his monocle and cast a sharp glance at Morgana, who stood beside me. 

“Morgana. You summoned me here instead of my ‘workshop’ don’t tell me you used your blunt whip to scratch this precious material?” 

“What do you mean by ‘blunt’, Thanatos?” Morgana snapped contemptuously. 

“We don’t have time for your inefficient appreciation of the ‘arts.’ The boss wants immediate results.” 

“Because you care only for results, you end up missing all the beauty of the process. Your approach is much too… blunt.” 

Watching the two squabble, I realized if I didn’t seize the initiative here, I’d be dragged along. 

“…Enough.” 

““...!!”” 

Trying my best to imitate the arrogant tone Onyx Rex would use, I interrupted. The pair, looking like they’d just about leap at each other, froze like statues. 

“Thanatos, I don’t doubt your skill. But this is no ordinary human. Her soul cannot be broken by mere pain.” 

“……” 

“And Morgana, your loyalty is unquestioned. But if you rush, you’ll only shatter the vessel.” 

Intimidated by my stance, both fell silent, then bowed in apology. 

“Forgive us, Onyx-nim.” 

“Sorry.” 

‘Good… Looks like I managed to pull off the act for now.’ 

“Haaang♥ O-Onyx-nim… This tingling feeling, I haven’t felt it in so long!” 

Before I could enjoy the strange, adolescent sense of power this gave, Morgana’s sultry voice tickled my ear. 

Seemingly excited by my commanding presence, Morgana blushed peach and twisted her slim waist. 

Her curvy rear undulated beneath her latex skirt in a shameless display. 

The rune on her pubic bone seemed to shine with a faint glow. 

‘Ignore that pervert.’ 

Trying to divert my eyes, I chin-pointed toward the wine glass Thanatos was holding. 

“Thanatos, what’s that?” 

“Ah, I’m glad you asked, Onyx-nim.” 

Smiling as if he’d expected the question, Thanatos gladly raised the glass to my eye level. 

“I would have liked to bring my finest tools from my third-floor ‘workshop’ to prepare this precious material, but since we must proceed improvisationally here, I’ll use a simple yet effective method today.” 

He swirled the glass gently. The pink liquid inside seemed to wriggle like a living thing, then, from its center, a chilling eyeball suddenly snapped open. 

“Hiiik?!” 

At the grotesque sight, a terrified scream escaped from Lumina, who was still restrained. 

“This is the last tentacle monster left in our organization, ‘Tentacle.’ All of its companions have been destroyed by the Saviors, so it’s especially dangerous right now.” 

Looking at the captive Lumina, Thanatos continued in the manner of a sommelier describing a gourmet dish. 

“Even for a frail little girl like this, it will show no mercy.” 

Tentacles, huh. 

A scenario like this is new, compared to previous possessions. If only the situation weren’t so urgent, I might have taken my time to ‘enjoy’ this more… 

“Oh, and there’s a message from Arachne on the second floor,” Thanatos added, making Morgana furrow her brow. 

“What is it?” 

“She said, ‘Tent-chan is our only precious one left, so please don’t overwork it!!’” 

Tent-chan, huh. That’s an oddly cute name for such a grotesque monster. 

“I’ve never understood that weirdo’s taste…” 

“I suppose it’s normal for a creator to cherish her work. Ah, though I imagine it’s too deep an aesthetic for some to understand.” 

Despite their similarities, the two didn’t seem to get along. Eternal rivals, apparently. 

“Didn’t I tell you to stop bickering just a moment ago?” 

Calmed by my reprimand, they fell silent again like obedient puppies. 

“My apologies. In any case, if you’ll just finish the prep work, Onyx-nim, I’ll begin as soon as you’re ready.” 

Stepping back, Thanatos signaled that everything was ready. 

The ‘prep work’ in other words, marking Lumina with a yin rune. I slowly approached her. 

“Onyx Rex.” 

Her voice, addressed to me, was filled with both contempt and an incomprehensible sadness. 

“When we met before, you insisted that the only way to restore order was to eliminate all human emotion.” 

‘Eliminate all human emotion?’ 

So that’s what they were after… These guys might be scarier than I thought. 

“Was there really no other way? Your methods only accelerate chaos in the world!” 

I sighed inwardly at her canned words of admonishment. 

But I didn’t have time to humor sermons like this. I had to clear this game and get back as soon as possible. 

“I have a purpose I must fulfill.” 

Mimicking a heavy voice befitting Onyx Rex, I declared as I placed my palm atop Lumina’s lower abdomen, over her pure white dress. 

Unlike the cold shackles, her skin felt burning hot beneath the fabric. 

“Hhng?!” 

At my will, a blood-hued light rose from my hand. 

The light soon configured into intricate, ominous symbols, leeching into her dress and, beneath that, her snowy skin. 

[Trait activated.] 

[【Sigil of Blasphemy】 has been engraved on the target.] 

“Ah ahhk…! What is this?!” 

Seeing the ominous markings branded on her belly, Lumina’s face was overcome with shock. 

“Oooh. Onyx-nim’s power at last overcomes even the goddess herself…!” 

“Heheh. Naturally.” 

To be honest, I barely believed it myself. 

It was the first time I’d possessed someone without really knowing the protagonist’s powers. 

“Depending on the user’s imagination, you can bestow any effect with the Yin Rune trait, huh.” 

A power where the user’s imagination is essential… In a way, it’s similar to the hypnosis app. 

But Child wouldn’t have picked a dimension for something that basic. 

Let’s see how far I can push it. 

“Thanatos.” 

“Ah! I’ll follow protocol, Onyx-nim.” 

At my command, Thanatos gladly tilted the wine glass in his hand. 

The pink liquid within, the tentacle monster “Tent-chan,” oozed out and began crawling toward Lumina. 

“Kyuu?” 

“N-no! Don’t come near me…!” 

The tentacles snaked up her legs, then wrapped around her entire body like a snake. 

Slimy tentacles slid beneath her thin dress, lasciviously assaulting her tender skin. 

One coiled around her ample breast, smothering her pert nipple with its blunt tip. 

Another slithered up her inner thigh, licking the delicate flesh and teasing at the entrance to her sacred cave. 

“Hngh, haah…! Don’t don’t touch me… not there… hiii?!” 

“Shall we continue the questioning? Tell us about the Saviors and their weaknesses.” 

“I can’t… I can’t tell you… hiiek?!” 

The moment she tried to resist, the rune on her belly flashed wickedly. 

At the same trick, a tentacle crushed her nipple, sending her body jerking violently. 

“W-what… is this…! Uugh…! What did you do to me?!” 

“Simple. All I’m doing is corrupting your pure will. The more you resist with ‘justice’ or ‘hope,’ the more that energy will be instantly transformed into hot, feminine pleasure, turning you into a bitch in heat.” 

“L-lies… You… such evil power… ngh!” 

Her protest vanished as the tentacles assailed her body again. 

“As long as there’s light in people’s hearts, your darkness will never swallow everything!” 

Just as she clenched her mouth shut and summoned her final reserves of will, the rune on her belly burst with a fitful glow. 

“Haang! N-no… not from… not from this… hiiiighk♥” 

What emerged from the pure goddess’s mouth was no longer a scream but the moan of a she-animal. 

The more she resisted, the more sensitive she became, sinking ever deeper into the swamp of pleasure. 

Morgana watched the spectacle in silence, and then coolly addressed Thanatos. 

“Thanatos, your part is finished. You may leave.” 

Unphased by her open dismissal, Thanatos glanced at Morgana with disdain. 

He could not have missed the vulgar glint of lust in her eyes. 

“Hmm… A rare material called ‘the unbroken faith of a goddess’ I’d have loved to see what shade of despair it might yield. But, it seems I’ve no choice.” 

Shaking his head with obvious regret, Thanatos headed for the elevator. 

Just before the doors shut, he looked back at me. 

“Onyx-nim.” 

“Mm?” 

“Next time, please visit me on the third floor. There are many ‘works’ I’d like to show you. Fufufu. U-hu-hu-hu-hut.” 

“R-right. Good work.” 

Once the elevator doors closed, I let out a soft sigh. 

This evil organization sure is full of dangerous weirdos. 

Just what kind of guy was the original Onyx Rex, who could handle them all? 

But my musings were broken by a hot sensation pressing against my back. 

“Morgana?” 

“Forgive me, Onyx-nim♥” 

Without me noticing, Morgana had pressed up behind me, rubbing her voluptuous breasts and thighs against my body. 

“Seeing you torment the goddess, Onyx-nim, I just couldn’t hold back any longer♥” 

Looking more closely at her lower belly beneath the latex, her yin rune was glowing more intensely than ever. 

‘No way…’ 

【Crest of Master’s Craving】 

Effect: Normally it gives the engraved target the thrill of submission, but when the master uses his power on another being, the effect is maximized. 

Staring at the rune, its effect appeared before my eyes. 

“For three months, without Onyx-nim’s hot seed inside me, my pussy is throbbing with need♥” 

She grabbed my hand and pressed it between her bursting breasts, and with her other hand, swiftly undid my belt. 

“Haaa…♥ Even after you’ve just awoken from a long slumber, your energy is so fierce… You truly are the one worthy of ruling over us no, over me♥” 

Her eyes gleamed with hunger as she gazed at my exposed erection. 

Both our gazes, overflowing with desire, turned to the little goddess who was being violated and moaning by the tentacles. 

“Now, Onyx-nim. Right in front of the goddess, fill your loyal bitch full of your seed. Let’s show that naive goddess what real authority looks like what the power of a true master is…♥”
