My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 682: Cultists’ Wicked Desire

Elysia opened a virtual map to point out a spot that she suspected was where Lynn and her six disciples were kidnapped.

The location was relatively far away considering the kidnapping happened four hours ago. However, the culprits were most likely not an ordinary group since they brazenly challenged Sacred Sakura.

A Godlike entity clearly intervened to open the rift and abducted her people under everyone’s watch. Yusagi was right next to Lynn when the incident happened. Still, Yusagi couldn’t even notice it, and this situation strengthened her suspicion.

"Who do you think is trying to challenge Sacred Sakura? I believe almost everyone revered this holy sect." Shiina pondered about it.

"Yes, almost everyone. There are still many people who hate Sacred Sakura. We can’t please everyone." Vanessa reverted back to her human form.

"Brown, I mean, Shiina... you’re here by the time it happened. Don’t you sense any Godlike power that kidnapped them?" Yuna pondered about it, wondering who would want to challenge Sacred Sakura.

"Sadly, no. Maybe, only a brief, subtle moment. It was almost similar to Lady Ely’s warp technique, hard to detect." Shiina shook her head. She was still in the shower by the time it happened, and well, she didn’t spread her divine sense to the entire seven great mountains all the time.

When she considered it, she felt the current matter was strange. Everyone knew Sacred Sakura had many Deities and Demigods, so to challenge Sacred Sakura, a Godlike entity must have intervened, and this kidnapping was most likely just a trap.

"Do you think this is a trap?" Fortuna crossed her arms. She tried to foresee the future, but Elysia immediately formed a team of five with Elena, Ai, Rhea, and Zera.

"Trap or not, I will pick up Lynn and my disciples now. We’ll head there directly, rescue them, and find out their motive. Please wait for my summon. Four hours have passed, and so many things may have happened to them..." Elysia no longer thought about schemes or other possibilities because she already stood at a level where she didn’t even need to worry about mortal threats.

*Poof*

Elysia formed a teleportation magic circle and brought four people with her.

"Why did Ely only go with the five of us? Why didn’t she invite us?" Gaia heaved a subtle sigh.

"Did you forget that we can directly teleport to Ely’s side? Ely already said it. We need to prepare for her summon as she needs to save Lynn and her disciples as soon as possible." Lifa shook her head.

A small divine team would be the best option for a rescue and investigation mission. Once the truth was revealed and Elysia made a decree, they would be summoned to exterminate the offenders.

"I think... it was the work of a Heavenly Demon or Evil God’s lackeys. With a strong backbone, they wanted to try to threaten and bargain with Sacred Sakura." Nell raised her hands, coming up with a guess.

"Please forgive us as the incident happened under our watch..." Yuuki felt it was partly their fault, the guardians, as they should protect Sacred Sakura’s territory during their master’s seclusion.

When Sacred Sakura’s disciples and representative elders felt partially responsible, Fortuna immediately responded with a measurement. "It is not your fault. We should blame the kidnappers. Unfortunately, their identities and motives are still unknown... I need more clues to divine it. But, our Goddess Master has already set out to get to the bottom of this matter. The evil shall be punished before they try to do what they are going to do."

The Sacred Sakura Holy Land was abuzz with whispers of dread. The unthinkable had happened. The disciples of the revered Sacred Sakura Goddess, the paragon of virtues, had been abducted.

The mysterious abductors were still unknown, and the higher-ups gathered for a meeting to address this matter at the Sacred Shrine. However, the Sacred Sakura Goddess was still in seclusion, and the matter became so tricky because they had no information and could only wait.

Some disciples thought that if their master was already out, she could open Heaven’s secret with her divinity to locate the abductors quickly and easily. But for now, they were like soldiers who had lost their way and could only wait for the command from their superiors.

At that time, the entire Sacred Mountain and the Seven Great Mountains Formation were cleared of any guests or visitors, and third parties were expelled for security reasons without much explanation.

---

It took mere moments for Elysia to locate the hideout of the abductors.

She and her team arrived at the hideout’s secret entrance. Lynn’s soul resonated with her, and it pointed to a secret base beneath a rocky hill.

With her omniscient gaze, she pierced through dimensions, uncovering the hidden lair of the Evil God’s worshippers in a desolate underground cave cloaked in dark magic.

They infiltrated the base right away. On their way to the underground dungeon, they managed to gain some clues about the faction that kidnapped Lynn and the six innocent disciples.

The abductors were none other than worshipers of the Evil God, a vile cult known for their dark schemes. Moreover, this evil cult was backed by a reincarnated Heavenly Demon God, a sinister powerhouse with Deity-level power, obvious as it got a demonic statue worshiped by the lunatics in the next door’s congregation room.

’The Heavenly Demon God should be nearby as it was most likely it who abducted our people under everyone’s watch.’ Elena reminded Ai and Zera as she hinted for them to secretly look for the biggest main threat and handle it without alerting enemies.

The lunatics in this evil sect obviously planned something insidious. If she had to guess it, the enemies would try to corrupt the disciples and use them as pawns to infiltrate and weaken the Sacred Sakura Holy Land, shattering the faith of its followers. Confident in their secrecy, this evil cult assumed their actions would remain unnoticed, as the Sacred Sakura Goddess had been in deep seclusion for nobody knew when she would come out.

Little did they know, fate had decided their fate in the day they carried out their plan.

Elena chuckled lightly. Ai and Zera nodded after receiving permission from Elysia, immediately entering the void’s subspace to find the hiding Heavenly Demon God. As Elysia said before, trap or not, they would still face it and vanquish it with sheer force as all kinds of schemes were nothing before an almighty power.

"No one is allowed to harm my people and escape my judgment." Elysia declared with a voice as gentle as a spring breeze yet charged with an unyielding resolve.

The air in the dungeon’s basement was thick with malice. Deep within its chambers, the abducted disciples of various sects and factions endured torment beyond imagination. Some had already succumbed to the evil cult’s brainwashing, their spirits shattered by hypnotic spells, mind-altering drugs, and the unspeakable deeds of the evil cult’s lunatics.

Amidst the captives were the Sacred Sakura disciples, radiating resilience despite their harrowing situation. Their unwavering faith became their shield, allowing them to resist the hypnotic forces that turned others into puppets. The cultists grew increasingly frustrated as even the most potent drugs and aphrodisiacs failed to break them.

"We are the chosen of the Sacred Sakura Goddess. Our bodies and souls belong to our Goddess and master!" One of the chained disciples declared boldly. She trembled, but her voice remained steady. "Your wickedness cannot touch us, for her light shields our hearts and souls."

One of the lunatics laughed and jeered at the Sacred Sakura’s disciples. "Such stubbornness... but let’s see how long your faith can persist when you’ve lost everything. Don’t be easily broken, ha ha ha!"

"Wait. They will commit suicide and take you to hell with them if you touch them now. The girls are still so fierce even though they’ve been in the brainwashing box for four hours..." The haggard man prevented his fellow cultists.

"What can they do with their power sealed? Even the Emperor-level vixen over there is powerless."

"Keke, I wonder what Fox Empress’ pussy tastes like. She may be hundreds of years old, but she is still a virgin!"

"I said stop it. She will kill you with just brute strength."

The other two cultists licked their lips, looking at the gorgeous, sexy fox lady with lewd gazes, but the haggard man prevented them from approaching further because the Sacred Sakura’s people gathered together and stared daggers at them as if they were still completely sane, unaffected by anything.

"Tch, we can only wait for them to break by themselves, huh... If I can’t touch the Sacred Sakura’s girls now, what about the boys? They look delicious too, ke ke..." The fat cultist glanced at the handsome boys. Sacred Sakura’s people were truly top-notch, far different from the others.

"Come any closer, and I will take you all to Hell with me." One of the three male disciples moved to shield the girls despite the chains that bound him, baring his teeth with a beast-like stare.

"Oow, that’s so scary~ I can handle the wild ones and they eventually got tamed in the end. I’ll let you off for now. See you again in another four hours. If you still can persist, maybe I’ll appoint you as my new pet, handsome boy." The fat cultist crouched down as he grabbed the brave boy’s chin.

"Ptui." The brave disciple spat on the fat cultist’s disgusting face.

"..." The fat cultist closed his eyes and wiped his face with a handkerchief. By the time he opened his eyes again, his facial expression instantly became demonic-like.

He beat the boy black and blue to vent his anger, but unfortunately, they couldn’t stay long in the brainwash chamber.

"Hee, hee..." Lynn chuckled as she couldn’t even move with all the chains that bound her limbs. Her eyes were unfocused, but the light in her eyes already became an intoxicated gaze as the drugs and aphrodisiacs in the air affected her. She still resisted it well. It was just that, her body became extremely sensitive.

She pondered about how this situation could have happened. It was just a simple stroll, patrolling the seven great mountains with Yusagi, and she got abducted by these lunatics with a mysterious technique that was most likely the creation of a Deity-level demon or perhaps a Demon God.

Sadly, she had no way of knowing as those lunatics attempted to brainwash and break her mind before anything else to make all the abducted lifelike puppets...

"Ahn, uhh... are we going to die like this? I’m unwilling to become their puppets, but my consciousness is slowly leaving me."

"It’s only a matter of time until we get refined. But it’s useless if we commit suicide as they will still use our bodies as puppets."

"Their evil plan is large-scale and targets many factions. Our master is still in seclusion, but I believe the higher-ups, not just our holy land, but also from other sects, will make their move to rescue the abducted..."

"But, how long do we have to wait? We got abducted with a mysterious technique, leaving no trace or clue. It’s been four hours, and the elders still haven’t shown up..."

"Our master will come out of her seclusion soon. Just resist the brainwashed spell well, and strengthen your faith. Once you succumb to the hallucinations, pleasure, or sinful thoughts, you will be turned into puppets for them to control..."

The disciples tried to reassure each other, and what they could do at the moment was just resist and survive the brainwashing spell.

"Remember this my brothers and sisters... cough! We were once unrecognizable mindless demons before our master *cough* saved us from the darkness of the bloodline curse. This kind of thing *cough* is just a child play as our master’s blessing is still with us even now ." The beaten disciple crawled with groans of pain, alerting his comrades even though he had vomited blood in between.
