——————————————-

“I’ve finished all the paperwork and fortified the kingdom’s barrier…now…finally it’s here!! I’ve waited so long for this!” I excitedly put everything down as I start to enter my universe, finally I’ll be able to torture the heroes.

As soon as I get in there, I can immediately see the inhabitants of my universe wandering the streets, this reminds me of my progress in creating life, I’m still having issues with the soul part.

So I can’t create a being 100% from scratch, I just need the soul for me to truly be able to create this being, but I’m stuck on this single part that is so complex.

It’s not about creating an artificial soul, that I can easily do, it’s to create a truly 100% original soul.

’Well, I’ll think about that later’ Some inhabitants of my universe quickly notice me, some stare at me with adoration and others run to inform their superiors.

“…” And in less than two minutes, I see Number 1 rushing to meet me.

“G-Goddess!!!” She screams as she reaches me.

“Did Number 1 follow exactly what I asked? Where are those humans? They were isolated from the rest, right?” I ask with a smile.

“Y-Yes!! We kept them in an isolated area as you requested!” She speaks excitedly while her tail wags like an excited puppy.

“Great…I want you to do one last thing, move them to separate locations in the underground, I’ll list which ones you should take and to what locations” I’m not going to torture them individually, not because I don’t want to, but because torturing them in a group will make the despair of one affect the other.

However, I also don’t want to torture them all together in a large group because there are too many and it would mess everything up, so I’ll separate them into smaller groups, the group will be based on how worse the torture will be.

They’ll all be bad, but there are those I’m going to hit harder, with that group of 6 being the last ones.

“I’ll do it immediately!” She hastily starts taking notes of the names I mention to separate them, there are 28 people to be tortured, so I’ll spend a good amount of time here.

…

…

…

“N-Nanami, why do you think they sent us to this place, separating us from the others?” Eri asks me scared, we’ve been trapped in that gym for days and now suddenly we’ve been separated from the others.

“I don’t know…but I don’t feel like it’s something good…” I say as I see that we’ve now been taken to a pool, again a quite “common” scenario.

Everyone is bothered by the change, but soon we hear the sound of doors and see someone entering this closed pool.

“…”

’Another one of those things?’ I see another one of those things that are here, but this one is different…it seems more…disturbing in some way.

“Hello, all you heroes, you know I decided to separate you into smaller groups to speed up the progress a bit, let me see…this one is Group 1 and has as participants”

“Naoki Endo, Takeru Sasaki, Shohei Ota, Aoi Kinoshita, Mei Ishikawa, Yume Okamoto, Natsuki Fujikawa, Haruka Yamada, Chinatsu Hoshino, Nanami Kitagawa and finally Eri Sugimoto” She cites the name of everyone who is here.

“…” An unpleasant silence falls as she checks each one of us with her gaze.

“Great, I see that everyone is here…well, let me introduce myself, even though you may already know me, you might be confusing me, unlike the numbered inhabitants of this place, I am Pandora, the demon king you faced” When she says this, everyone shudders.

Almost everyone here has had horrible deaths caused by her, and even after we died, we didn’t have peace since we appeared here.

“Well, you all must already know the rules, I won’t explain everything again, so let’s begin” She gives us a big smile.

“B-Begin what?” Natsuki asks with a trembling voice.

“Isn’t it obvious? What a silly question, I separated you all into groups where I will torture each group and worsen it depending on the group, now how about we start with that?”

…

…

…

“Isn’t it obvious? What a silly question, I separated you all into groups where I will torture each group and worsen it depending on the group, now how about we start with that?” I say with great enthusiasm to the group of heroes.

’They are the more or less… so I’ll do a torture that is slower’ They start talking things, but I completely ignore them.

“Let’s see, heroes…why do you think I chose a pool?” I ask, ignoring anything that is not the answer I want.

Unfortunately, none of them give the answer I’m looking for, so I use my power to increase the pool area and raise it, leaving them inside the water while they can’t climb the edges that are too high.

I see them swimming while some watch me, I use this time to wait for them to calm down and after 5 minutes they are all just floating in the water.

“Great, they’ve calmed down, finally, after all, they need to save their strength for later” I say maliciously as I start to shape the bottom of the pool underground.

Quickly the water starts to bubble while they move uncomfortably, but seconds later the water starts to boil as the screams begin.

’I think 100 degrees is enough, I don’t want to completely melt their bodies, just cook them alive’ The water stagnates at 100 degrees, a temperature that causes severe damage to the body, but without being hot enough to melt the flesh.

I see the pool starting to take on a reddish tone due to the wounds releasing blood and the peeling skin, which is perfect for the next step.

“Go little ones, you can eat” I release dozens of piranhas from the shadows into the water, quickly they smell the blood and go after the food.

As soon as they reach the first person, they start biting, which increases the screams, I see Chinatsu desperately thrashing in the water, which attracts more piranhas to her.

The piranhas start tearing the flesh, ripping off pieces as they crowd the bodies trying to each get a little bite for themselves.

I look at who is screaming the most at the moment, seeing Yume Okamoto screaming desperately as piranhas enter her belly and start devouring her organs from the inside.

“You know the rule of not being able to die is quite ironic, isn’t it? You’re being boiled alive while being devoured, but you can’t die…oh no, certainly not, so you’ll soon regenerate just to be devoured again” I say with an ironic smile, watching this.

I see limbs and organs starting to float above the water, pieces that were torn off and, “luckily”, got away from the piranhas, but these pieces are soon pulled and torn apart.

’They are quite brutal animals’ I hold a small piranha in my hand, it is completely black, with red eyes and ridiculously sharp teeth made to tear off pieces with each bite.

They are small, so they can enter any hole they find to look for food, so I can visually see the piranhas entering their bodies and devouring them from the inside.

The screams don’t stop because they keep regenerating, I wonder what hurts them more, being boiled alive, or being devoured alive.

“Hmmm, hmmm well, how about we spice things up a bit?” I say, throwing some salt bags into the water, making it even worse for their wounds, I pour a lot of salt and a lot of pepper into the water.

’I’m literally making a soup now hahahahaha’ I look at the walls, they are transparent on the other side, several inhabitants have come to watch and I see some are drooling as if they see a delicious meal.

The screams momentarily stop and I see that the piranhas have destroyed the bodies of everyone so much that they can no longer produce sounds or move.

“Well, this is…boring, you can wait” I tell the piranhas, who start circling the bottom of the pool waiting for the “food” to regenerate, and in a few minutes they are all regenerated again.

Of course, it’s not a perfect regeneration because the skin is still being cooked, but it’s returned almost everything back to its place.

And it all starts again, the desperate screams are delicious to hear, while visually I must say that even I get hungry seeing so much blood and flesh being shredded in this way.

I curiously see Vanessa outside watching, she has a vacant look and a neutral expression as she watches her former colleagues being cooked and devoured in this way.

“You’re very lucky, Vanessa, this could have been your fate if you hadn’t attacked me first” Since Vanessa was the first to attack me, I was able to torture her calmly with the sand worms, which satisfied a bit of my thirst for revenge.

And thanks to that, I let the inhabitants of this universe take care of the rest of her punishment, but the other heroes were all together, I didn’t have time to torture them, so now I’m doing it until I get bored and let the rest of the punishment to the others.

“Hmmm, it’s definitely a soup” I murmur as I throw chopped onions, crushed garlic, more salt, a small amount of alcohol for a special touch, and also throw in a lot of pepper into the pool.

This immediately intensifies the screams, I crouch next to the pool and also throw in basil, rosemary and bay leaf, which gives a nice smell of soup to this thing I’m making.

“…” I carefully observe the bodies of the heroes, I hear the skin crackling and watch as it peels off, dripping into the water, I observe the body muscles contracting and becoming rigid due to the boiling.

While severe damage occurs, the flesh that is being salted and receiving pepper and other things directly in contact, the heroes’ screams after I added the ingredients became even worse.

Their eyes become bulging as if they are swelling while they are burning, blood flowing into the water giving a reddish texture to the liquid.

’What a nice smell of cooked meat…’ The smell is undeniably pleasant regardless of the fact that they are the trash that makes up part of the smell.

They can’t swim, but they can’t sink either, so they are just torn apart by the piranhas in the places where they are, at this point the water is completely red with a nice bubbling sound.

And ironically, it really looks like a soup, both in color and in smell, it reminds a lot of a soup with a lot of seasoning.

“It seems this is all the reaction I can get from you” I say with false regret, they can’t even speak, just scream in pain until they can’t scream anymore and then regenerate, starting over.

The piranhas are also doing this on their own now, they attack and shred everything until there are no more screams, when the screams stop, they sink and stay at the bottom waiting for them to regenerate.

“Hey, anyone want to try? I believe I’m quite good at cooking” I say with a little smile to the inhabitants outside who quickly nod.

I let them in here while I generate a very large ladle for them to be able to get the things down there and several plates with utensils, I step back and just watch them serving themselves while the screams are like music to everyone.

’Vanessa disappeared, it seems she’s too cowardly to see more’ I ignore this, watching my creations happily able to try something new, I think I’ll spend a couple of days here watching this until it’s no longer fun.

And then I’ll move on to Group 2, where I’ll give them a much more creative torture than this one.
