Chapter 293: Personal hell

I and the little girl approached the kitchen where they were both cooking, I am so absurdly silent and hidden from the mortals of this world that they don’t even notice my presence.

“Hey, little one, could you get me a candy as an offering? After all, goddesses and gods need offerings,” I say to her as I stand watching the two.

“Okay, Miss Goddess!” The little girl speaks excitedly as she runs to her father.

“Papa! Give me a candy! I’m going to give it to the goddess as an offering!” She speaks innocently to her father, I wonder if my children will be as innocent or if they will already have a great sense of themselves.

“Sure, daughter, here.” Her father takes a lollipop from the cabinet and hands it to her as the little girl runs to me with the candy, I accept it with a smile as I open it and start sucking on it.

While he looks directly at me, noticing my presence only after she entered his field of vision.

“…” He gently calls his wife’s attention and she looks in my direction, shivering instantly while the little girl next to me remains completely oblivious.

The reason for the two’s discomfort goes beyond the fact that there is an intruder in the house, my enmity and hostility towards them makes my mana obviously more aggressive towards the two.

“W-Who are you and how did you get in?” He questions me, trying to maintain his composure, but I notice his trembling.

“I am just a benevolent deity who decided to descend from the heavens to ’purify’ this filthy world,” I say as my tail moves with my excitement.

“…”

“Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t I look like a deity to your eyes?” I move, sitting on the table and pushing the chair with my foot while the little girl is oblivious to the bad mood.

The fact that I’m casually sucking on the lollipop makes the bad mood even more undetectable to the girl.

“Papa, look! It’s a goddess!” The little girl points, trying to show excitement while her parents obviously don’t think the same.

“D-Daughter, come here now!” The mother speaks agitated while the child doesn’t understand.

“Girl, what’s your name? Could you tell me so I can bless you?” I say, drawing all attention to me.

“Aiko!” She speaks her name with a smile.

“I see, so we have a beloved child here…” A good name without a doubt, a great meaning, I wonder where all that love was when he decided to abandon my mother.

Crack

I bite the lollipop, shattering it with a snap and spitting it on the floor, the taste is a piece of crap that doesn’t suit my palate.

Unfortunately, industrial food will probably never really be something I enjoy again, my palate has changed too much to like this kind of thing.

“Aiko, what’s your favorite animal?” I say as the two stand still, they show signs of wanting to react or move, but they can’t, they’re stuck in place with minimal movement.

These are the effects of having a hostile mana in the environment, only a strong stimulus will make them able to move.

But I notice that my “father” managed to grab a knife and hide it behind his back, does he think I’m weak enough to be killed by a kitchen knife? How funny.

“I like cats!” Aiko says quickly.

“I see, they’re cool animals, I think. I really like sharks, they’re strong and have powerful teeth that can shred the bodies of their prey,” I say, approaching the girl with a malicious smile.

“Hey, you three, did you know an interesting curiosity? When sharks are in large numbers in the environment and they all attack the same prey, the body of that prey practically disappears in seconds.”

“They are undoubtedly incredible predators,” Aiko doesn’t understand what I’m talking about and is confused.

“So there, you, Aiko’s mother, what’s your name? I’ll grace you with the chance to speak to me and tell me your name.”

“S-Saya…” She says with a trembling body.

“Hmm, that’s great, we’re introducing ourselves well, so I’ll give you the honor of knowing my name, I’m Pandora, a Goddess who unfortunately told a little lie.”

“First, I didn’t descend from the heavens, and second, I’m not benevolent towards what I hate.” My smile grows until it becomes disturbing, I move my tail, bursting Aiko’s head while the silence follows the sound of the body falling to the ground.

The blood stains the walls and the floor, a normal human wouldn’t withstand this, so the result of a human without mana was to have his head exploded by my blow while deformed flesh spreads on the walls.

Soon, various shadow sharks devour the shattered body in front of us three.

“Regrettable, she seemed like a good girl, but if she grew up and became like her father, I know she would just be trash in society,” I say, looking at the blood on the floor.

“…” My ’father’ advances towards me with a kitchen knife and strikes my stomach, but the blade of the knife breaks, there’s no need to dodge.

“So you can cry? Interesting, I never thought the disgusting vermin like you would care about this kind of fatality,” I say, watching his tears with great pleasure.

“YOU DEMON!” He tries to punch me, but I easily knock him to the ground with my tail.

“Demon? I’m not a demon, as I said before, I’m a goddess, something very different from a demon in every way…you have a beautiful wife,” I say, looking at his wife.

“D-Don’t touch her!” He says, advancing towards me, but I kick his stomach as weakly as I can, and even that sends him flying against the wall several meters away.

“Tsk, humans are so fragile.” The modern world is like a world more fragile than glass to me.

“So Saya, I guess it’s your turn? Soon you’ll be able to reunite with your daughter, I don’t want your two souls.”

They have literally nothing to do with this, I doubt they even know the truth.

Because my “father” is a cowardly man, I highly doubt he would tell or let them discover his past.

“P-Please d-don’t kill me,” Saya says, crying as she falls to her knees on the floor and tries to crawl away, her body trembling and sobbing.

“Don’t worry, dying now can end up being a blessing, after all, my target is a large part of the planet that will become my personal playground for games for a while.”

“And I’m sure everyone would prefer death rather than being my toys,” I say, approaching her and grabbing her head, I drag her as she tries to resist, screaming and moving.

But fear has already taken over her, I simply ignore her desperate cries and pleas as I get close to my “father” who is on the ground in pain.

“W-Why…a-are you doing this?” My father asks with hatred, but with pain from the kick.

“As I said, I’ve come to purify this filthy world, you’re a sinner who doesn’t deserve any form of redemption,” I lift Saya, making her look at him.

“Did you know your husband is a fucking cowardly bastard? He abandoned his wife and child for money, he fled cowardly, abandoning a wonderful wife, all for the sake of the fucking money.”

“This is the man you love, a cowardly vermin who abandons those who love him, and I can prove it,” I say as I push Saya closer to him.

“If you kill Saya, I’ll let you live and that’s a promise in the name of my powers as a goddess,” I say as I throw a sword to him, he’s in shock and Saya just cries.

“…” But what really matters is the reaction, many would instantly refuse, but he doesn’t deny it as if he weighs the choices and ponders which to choose, and that makes my smile more diabolical.

Saya, on the other hand, notices the hesitation and looks at his face in disbelief, as if she doesn’t recognize the person in front of her.

“I-Is this true? W-Why are you t-thinking…” She questions with a hard-to-decipher look.

“N-No! T-This demon is lying, I-I won’t do it…”

“Don’t call me a demon or I’ll be hurt, I’m a beautiful goddess, confusing me with a mere demon is an insult,” I say sarcastically.

“But just by you hesitating, it proves what I said, don’t you agree, Saya? Those who truly love never hesitate, you, Saya, are desperate for your life and sad for the death of your daughter.”

“However, this coward can only think of his own life, and at the first chance to save himself, he thinks of abandoning you,” I say to her as I approach.

“I’m very benevolent sometimes, so Saya, know that this whole situation is the fault of your cowardly husband, but since he refused my offer, your life no longer serves me,” I say as I place my two hands on her head and squeeze, bursting it and spreading blood that stains the two.

“First your daughter, then your wife, I guess now you have nothing, right?” I ask, but at the same time, I silence his mouth with the shadows.

“You know, I love to hear the desperate screams and the crying of girls, for some reason it’s strangely beautiful and even exciting…besides, I love to hear the screams of my enemies in situations like a war…”

“However, in this situation, your screams would only fill me with hatred, so I want you to suffer in pure silence…just like your wife, whom you abandoned, only suffered in silence,” I say as the shadows penetrate his body.

I make the shadows enter his veins and start cutting him from the inside, he struggles and trembles in pain as he tries with all his might to move, but he can’t, only his tears flow.

The damage causes the tears to come out along with blood that drips from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth, but I continue the process, slowly destroying his organs and veins while looking into his eyes.

“…” I stare at him while forcing his eyes to stay open so that he also looks into my eyes.

This is a sign for him, unlike his cowardice in averting his eyes and fleeing from problems, I face problems head-on without running from them.

“Don’t worry, I can guarantee that hell exists and I myself am its creator, and as soon as you die, your soul will end up in a special little corner for torture,” I say as the pocket dimension I made just to keep him is already ready.

After I collect the souls of the parents of the heroes and his, I’ll send them to my universe to be tortured, but I don’t want them to have the torture that the heroes suffer.

They will probably be locked in the underground of my universe forever while being tortured every day by the inhabitants who will love to have some fun.

“You know, you seem so small now…hahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA!” I burst out laughing, looking at this pathetic man, it’s ridiculous how someone like him once conquered my first mother.

“It’s simply ridiculous how men like you can cause so much trouble for others, honestly it’s very funny, I hope you’ve enjoyed the happiness you’ve achieved with your cowardice well.”

“Because now all that’s left for you is an eternal hell,” I say as the shadows infiltrate more and more, causing maximum pain without killing.

“By the way, don’t have any hopes, no one will ever save you, and I’ll never let you free.”

“Now have a good last moment before being dragged into the darkness straight to hell,” I say, bursting his heart while squeezing his brain, making the shadows tear pieces of it until he dies.

“…” He quickly dies from all the damage, without a single scream, but with an expression of terror and pain that I like.

He suffered in an entertaining and silent way, he now will have a brief moment of rest since his soul will be in the empty pocket dimension, and then when I return home I will send him to my universe.

I lie on the blood-stained floor, looking at the ceiling and feeling a pleasant peace, I think knowing that I’ve done a little justice for my mother is better than expected.

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” I murmur with a satisfied smile, I took the first step and had the first death, there are only a few more left and I can go home 100% satisfied knowing that only the heroes remain.
