After the entire ordeal that just happened, we moved back to the former village area to find it completely in ruins. However, I packed everything there was in there into my Inventory with ease. This inventory is really convenient. I can store even giant houses and whatnot without any issues.
The goblins and the rest of the people of the village had already been evacuated with the caravan clones, and Undead I left there on standby. Things seem to be peaceful there, but some people are still unconscious inside the shadow storage dimension.
"Catarina really left a massive change in the entire landscape… She was really crazy," Said Emeraldine.
"Indeed, her strength was… amazing," Said Lucifer.
"She shook the entire landscape and even changed its shape…." Sighed Partner.
"I wonder if she'll get all the strength back if you recover her body… It's not likely, as we tore it to shreds… But I think it would be better to just give her a new body, wouldn't it?" Suggested Emeraldine.
"Hmm… No, I want her to be a strong tank…." I said.
"What about the other guy's souls?" Asked Lucifer.
"Ah, they are not even budging to me. Even Catarina seemed tamed, but these guys are…." I sighed.
I looked into another side of my shadows and found a group of souls angrily looking at me.
"Free me at once, you abominable evil! I know you're against the God of Light. I can feel it in you!" Shouted Eric's soul.
The priest wanted to kill me very badly, but he was now a weak soul, so that wasn't happening.
"You… You killed us?!" Asked Leon.
"Yep, I did it, you were all actually almost dead, but I made sure you were deaaaad. Nice EXP, though," I taunted him.
"W-What are you going to do with us?!"
"We are just souls. We can't do anything!"
"D-Don't turn us into Undead, please!"
"Ugh… I am dizzy…."
The other former adventurers and mercenaries were less bold than these two idiots. They were just asking for mercy.
"I am an arrogant woman, very arrogant, so I will see and check each of your memories. If you've done shit I don't like, you're getting converted into Undead. If that's the opposite, then I will either exorcise you and let you have a nice afterlife or… well, maybe I could turn you into Undead anyways," I said.
"Eh? That sounds unfair!"
"I guess…"
"I've only slain monsters and Majin… I don't think that's wrong, right?"
"Well, Majin are people, idiot," I sighed.
pᴀɴdᴀ "Eh?! No way! They're just monsters… Right?"
"Apparently, they aren't now!"
"How come?"
"We had always been taught that Majin were just monsters with a bit of intelligence, which made them deadlier…."
"So even society teaches every person that Majin are not people anymore? Well, that sucks… I guess you guys don't have that much of a fault, but you still did terrible shit… Hey, I just checked your mind… What the heck is wrong with you? You violated like ten people! Ugh, what's wrong with this world and everyone being a rapist?" I sighed.
"Aghghhh!"
I grabbed his soul and crushed it into bits.
The rest of the souls looked with horror, screaming in fear over the thought of being punished for the sins that their very religions didn't even punish.
"Yeah bitch, you thought that doing such awful things to Majin wasn't going to bite you in the back one of these days? You're clearly a retard," I sighed once again.
"Y-You're a monster!"
"Monster!!!"
"H-How can she destroy souls?!"
"That's something only gods can do!"
"Well then, from now on, call me Goddess Maria! I am going to fucking wreck each one of you if I discover you did fucked up shit like this in your lives, so prepare your asses," I said.
And like this, as we moved back to the caravan, I checked each one's souls and crushed over half of them.
"So you actually burned alive a Succubus girl with her children in her arms? You're a real bastard,"
"I-I didn't know they were people! I-I needed the moneyyyyyyy…!"
CRASH!
"Oh, so you broke all those eggs from Harpies after selling the mothers to slavers? Alright…"
"H-Harpies are monsters! W-What are you talking about?!"
CRASH!
"You fucking trash, so you enjoy doing such horrendous things to children? You're dead."
"S-Stop! I-I was tempted! GRRYYYEEEEEGGH…!"
CRASH!
"Oh, Eric! So you're a kiddy fiddler, huh? Fucking disgusting old man… Elderlight was at least not so fucked up…." I sighed.
"T-Those children tempted me! I-I didn't have anything do with thaaaaaaaaatttttt…!"
CRASH!
Piles after piles of crushed souls emerged one after another. I was getting more and more bitter as I learned how terrible these people were. The three Vampires had not even done 10% of the horrendous things these guys did. They had only just killed people they were paid to, and most of the time swiftly, but what did these fuckers do? Torture, slave selling, raping, killing babies, oh my god… by everything that is sacred in this world, what is wrong with these people?
I feel like every time I read their minds I get more and more insane. This by itself is torture to my mind.
Resentment is only growing bigger inside of my soul as I slay the worshippers of the God of Light and realize that the title is already getting in effect. I also suddenly noticed my powers skyrocketing, and even my soul was growing more solid, but also more monstrous.
When I finished, my entire soul was shaped like a massive sea of darkness with countless crimson-red eyes crying blood… there were tentacles everywhere and large jaws stretching wherever you could see.
I looked at this, but instead of feeling disgusting, I felt it was just what I was right now…
Ugh.
"M-Maria, are you feeling alright? Y-your aura…" Muttered Lucifer.
"Master?" Muttered Partner.
"Maria!" Exclaimed Emeraldine.
"I-I am fine… Nngh… I just have to suck it up like I always do… Haha…"
I reabsorbed all the monstrosity growing inside of me. And as it quickly went back inside of me, I sealed it tightly within layers of phantom, so it wouldn't get out so easily anymore.
"Phew! Sorry about that! Alright, we are just there! How about we have a nice dinner? I am starving!" I shouted.
