Chapter 132: The Cult is Spreading
--- Chapter 132 ---
Boom!
Qianye Ying'er tossed Tiamat in the backyard of the Astaroth Clan, leaving the dragon to heal herself. Qianye Ying'er used a Healing Spirit Skill on Tiamat a while ago, so she should be awakened sooner or later.
She looked down at the Diodora Astaroth and commented, "Still, you're hiding quite well, huh?"
"I always wondered how a devil could infiltrate a place like the Vatican so secretive. You have a connection from inside, right?"
"Who is that guy?"
Diodora Astaroth sweats bullets and tries to dodge Qianye Ying'er amethyst-colored eyes. Well, It's a pointless attempt because she could see one's soul and characteristics.
"To be honest, I don't dislike your hobby." Qianye Ying'er suddenly said while smiling a little. "
Diodora Astaroth is a despicable devil. He had an extreme nun fetish.
He had preyed on famous nuns and Holy maidens in several countries of the human world. He would seduce the girls with his heartwarming words to make them fall in love with him.
After the nuns and maidens were "promptly." cast out by their churches, which left them devastated, he would appear and supposedly save them from the depths of their despair. Only to eventually get taken advantage of by him later on, like get ravished and mentally break them in both bodies and hearts.
Diodora would then reincarnate them as his servants who slavishly pledged their loyalty to him. It's disgusting, but Qianye Ying'er doesn't oppose his method.
The only problem was Diodora's method is forceful, so his victim doesn't achieve true loyalty.
Qianye Ying'er is different.
She believed everyone should join her religion from the deepest part of their hearts, following her teaching to greatness. The happiness one could achieve is far more splendid compared to blackmailing and scamming innocent girls in the churches.
Is it Fanaticism? What's wrong with it as long as everyone is happy?
Diodora instilled fears, and Qianye Ying'er passed over the hope of Huo Yuhao's greatness. The difference is clear.
"You only get some girls in so many years..." Qianye Ying'er is disappointed by Diodora's achievement. "I conquered the whole Vatican in just a few weeks. We are not the same."
Diodora felt something pierce his chest and saw a spear made of light burning his skin. He wanted to winch in pain, but Qianye Ying'er immediately shoved paper with a silence rune on it.
"Be a good boy and wait for your punishment." She flicked her finger and teleported Diodora to the Vatican, specifically her torture dungeon.
It would be one hell of an experience for Diodora.
Vatican, Secret Dungeon.
Diodora arrived inside a prison cell and was "suddenly." welcomed by a bright-colored lamp. He hissed because the lamp contained a holy element, radiating so much light that even a pure-blooded devil like him couldn't handle it.
Tap!
A small step suddenly appeared in the room.
It was a familiar-looking nun with a black robe and white shawl around her neck.
"A-Asia?" Diodora gulped his saliva nervously.
"Hmm, you know me?" Asia responded with a confused expression.
"Ah, you're the devil I healed out of pure kindness in the past. You're also the cause of why everyone pointed their fingers at me for being a sinful creature."
"Poor me, I cried my eyes out, but none reached their hands to me."
"Until I met the saintess, that's it."
Asia Argento is a poor girl who lives based on blind fate to her lord. It was shocking when Qianye Ying'er told her the Biblical God had passed away and left the throne of heaven for so long. Fortunately, she has a new idol to pray for now.
"I'm not doing this for revenge." Asia put on fingerless gloves.
"Since the Saintess sent you here, it means you had a confession to do later on in the judgment hall. Diodora Astaroth, bear the pain."
Her green eyes shone viciously inside this dungeon.
"Twilight Healing: Balance Breaker..."
"Myriad Healing Touches."
"N-No! Don't come closer!" Diodora felt the ominous sensation coming from Asia's hands.
"ARRRGGGHHH!!"
...
...
Qianye Ying'er wiped her hands clean and returned to Huo Yuhao's side, watching the young man with gleaming eyes. She lifted his glasses slightly and smiled in amusement.
"I only saw you in these glasses for a moment before returning to the Vatican when Kokabiel attacked the academy called Kuoh or something. It doesn't look bad at all." She commented with a giggle.
Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, "Right? It's just for the aesthetic."
Qianye Ying'er is flirting with Huo Yuhao in broad daylight, leaving three ladies in a bad mood. Yet, after seeing her fight with Tiamat, they don't have much of a word or complaint.
She gave them a smug look and said, "Don't be too sour. You have a lot of chances to be on Huo Yuhao's side. I'm not the final judge of your relationship, but it doesn't mean you are free to do anything."
Ophis tilted her head and stood before Qianye Ying'er. She stretched her little hand and said, "Candy Tax."
"..." Grayfia.
"..." Kuroka.
Even Qianye Ying'er was surprised by Ophis's sudden statement. She briefly scanned the little girl from top to bottom and realized something unusual.
"I see..." Her amethyst-colored eyes witnessed Ophis's pure soul. It's docile with mainly three desires.
'Dimensional Gap(Home), Food(Candy), and Huo Yuhao(affection).' She patted Ophis's head gently. It's the first time they meet because she has been quite busy since Kokabiel's incident.
She looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "Where did you find this adorable creature, Yuhao?"
Qianye Ying'er fed Ophis some pills in her spatial storage and hugged the ouroboros dragon tightly. Even though Ophis couldn't beat Huo Yuhao's cuteness six years ago, she would be in the second spot immediately for being so fucking adorable.
The Ouroboros Dragon doesn't mind the sudden hugs and enjoys her candy like any day.
"It's alright. Huo Yuhao's candy is better." She said while glancing at Qianye Ying'er.
Qianye Ying'er smirked faintly and whispered, 'Eh, but Huo Yuhao is the one who made those candies, though.'
Ophis was shocked inside. The Ouroboros Dragon immediately took her words back and said, "This candy is not bad. I can taste the sweet herbs used on it."
However, it makes Ophis wonder, Why do candies given by Huo Yuhao seem tastier? They were also more enjoyable and lasted longer in her mouth, making her want to savor the taste more than any food she had beforehand in this world.
What makes it so different?
"My job is over here, but I'll stay on Huo Yuhao's side for a while. No complaints, right?" Qianye Ying'er questioned, to which Huo Yuhao responded with a karate chop on the head.
Huo Yuhao sighed and said, "Stop teasing them."
"You're inheriting Shishou's bully nature more recently."
"Hehe~!" Qianye Ying'er playfully winked her eyes and stuck out her tongue.
And just like that, three days passed.
Astaroth Clan has been restored, with a branch family member taking over it. Huo Yuhao granted the new leader Astaroth's pure blood and gave her the order to chase over all corrupted clan members that weren't detected previously by the new council.
It's a quick way to have a loyal subordinate.
Still, Huo Yuhao was surprised by others' development, with Qianye Ying'er spreading her teaching to other ladies in the community. In just two freaking days, 1.000 to 10.000 members joined in without stopping.
You might think Tiamat would get mad after getting defeated by Qianye Ying'er. No, they become such a best friend because the Chaos Karma Dragon has the same interest as the golden-haired manipulator.
Even Venelana and Misla joined Qianye Ying'er growing group, learning a lot from her.
"Aren't you going to join them, Fia?" Huo Yuhao asked while drinking lemon tea. He gazed at the small garden, where several ladies were talking with Qianye Ying'er excitedly.
Grayfia shook her head and replied, "I'm on duty, Yuhao-sama. Your priority is above mine."
Huo Yuhao wryly smiled inside because Grayfia was rather stiff for her desire. It's Grayfia's charming point, but she should have taken more breather.
Changing the topic, Grayfia coughed and asked, "About your plan, when will we attack the Realm of Death, Yuhao-sama?"
"Well, I'm still waiting for the response. Since I have taken over the devil and more than half of the Underworld, Hades should have reacted more actively." Huo Yuhao responded calmly. "God is a petty and arrogant being, Fia."
"Only some are smart enough to hide them."
"I already placed the hook and bait, waiting for Hades to take it."
Huo Yuhao sighed and watched Kuroka write a note while listening to Qianye Ying'er. "Sooner or later, Hades will catch on me." He commented lightly.
"Prepare yourself, Fia."
"Mm." Grayfia nodded solemnly.
Huo Yuhao scrolled through his inventory and checked the items one by one.
[Junge Dungeon Key(1)]
[Treasure Box(2)]
[Random Summoning Card(1)]
[Hero Summoning Card(1)]
"Hmm, maybe I should start upgrading and using these items." Huo Yuhao wondered while pondering about something.
"Hero Summoning Card and Random Summoning Card, what kind of person will I summon this time? Shishou was a great help at the time, and Dragon Nest wouldn't grow this big without her mastery over Primordial Rune."
"Oh well, only one way to find out." Huo Yuhao pulled out the Hero Summoning Card from the inventory.
