Seven Sins System Chapter 413. Cruel Punishment II

The Kraken's eyes widened in terror at the prospect of an existence devoid of freedom, his feeble struggles against my grasp proving futile against the overwhelming power of my curse.

With a cruel laugh echoing through the chamber, I tightened my grip upon the Kraken, relishing in the knowledge that his suffering had only just begun.

I used my teleport skill, and in an instant, my body dissolved into a swirling mass of dark aura, pulling the Kraken's trembling form along with me. The sensation was both exhilarating and unsettling as we traversed the ethereal void, hurtling through the void between realms.

When we materialized once more, we found ourselves in my office within the shadow realm. The air crackled with dark energy as I surveyed the scene before me.

There, seated behind my desk, was my puppet. With a disdainful sneer, I watched as he carelessly spun around in my chair, his antics a mockery of the responsibilities that awaited him. Beside him, Ivy sat at her desk, her expression weary and worn from the puppet. Despite the paperwork strewn before her, it was evident that her exhaustion stemmed not from the tasks at hand, but from the incessant disruptions caused by the puppet's foolish antics.

Once she saw me, Ivy's eyes widened in surprise, and a wide smile spread across her face. "Your Highness, you're back!" she exclaimed joyfully, quickly rising from her chair and hurrying over to greet me. Her excitement was palpable as she wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug.

There was a time when our interactions were filled with work related conversation and flirtation, but since my return from the mortal realm, Ivy's demeanor had shifted. Now, her affectionate gestures bordered on outright adoration.

However, her expression soured as her gaze fell upon the trembling form of the kraken held within my tentacles. Suspicion clouded her features as she took a step back, her eyes narrowing with mistrust. "Why did you bring that creature here? He's a mortal, right?" she asked, her voice tinged with skepticism.

I released a chuckle, amused by her reaction. "Yes, he's a mortal," I confirmed with a smirk, relishing the opportunity to share my plan with her. "But this creature had the audacity to impersonate me in the mortal realm, and now he must face the consequences of his actions. I intend to grant his wish for a taste of my power," I explained, my tone dripping with satisfaction.

"So, I will grant what he wishes a bit. I will give him the same workload as what I usually have," I declared with a mischievous smirk, relishing in anticipation of what was to come.

Ivy's expression shifted from surprise to disbelief as my words sank in. "Workload?" she echoed incredulously, her voice tinged with shock. "But that's a mortal," she reminded me, her brows furrowing with concern.

I chuckled at her reaction, reveling in the opportunity to share my devious plan with her. "Yes, mortal indeed," I confirmed with a wicked gleam in my eyes. "But this creature dared to impersonate me in the mortal realm, and now he must face the consequences. I intend to make him toil under the weight of my responsibilities, to swear his undying loyalty to me," I explained, my tone dripping with malice. I pointed towards the puppet, my disdain for its uselessness evident in my gesture. "That puppet is nothing more than a mere distraction," I remarked dismissively. "But with the Kraken's help, we can put him to work for our benefit."

Ivy's confusion was palpable as she struggled to grasp the intricacies of my plan. "How?" she inquired, her tone laced with uncertainty.

A sinister grin spread across my lips as I outlined my scheme. "Fetch me a puppet, a faceless one," I instructed her, my voice resonating with authority. It was a simple yet ingenious solution to our problem, one that would allow us to harness the kraken's power for our own gain.

Despite the confusion etched on her face, Ivy obeyed my orders without hesitation. She quickly left the room to fetch the puppet, her footsteps echoing through the corridor. I turned my attention back to the kraken, still ensnared in the grip of my tentacles. His eyes were wide with terror, darting around in a desperate search for escape. His body trembled uncontrollably, a clear sign of the fear coursing through him.

He tried to scream, but my Blood Curse had already spread to his neck, effectively silencing any attempt to vocalize his panic. The curse worked its way through his veins, ensuring that he remained mute and compliant, no matter how much he wished to cry out.

I leaned closer to him, my eyes locking onto his with a cold, unyielding stare. "You understand what's coming, don't you?" I whispered, my voice dripping with malice. This wouldn't be like the woman's punishment. No, hers was merely a lifetime. His would be eternal.

The kraken's eyes widened even further, a silent plea for mercy written across his face. He knew what I intended to do, and the realization was almost too much for him to bear. His mind raced, undoubtedly replaying every moment that led him to this inevitable fate. He had dared to impersonate me, to sully my name in the mortal realm. Now, he would pay the price.

The thought of his endless suffering brought a dark satisfaction to my heart. "You wanted power," I continued, my voice a low, menacing growl. "Now you'll have it. You'll have all the power and responsibility that comes with being me. But make no mistake, you will never escape. You will work for me until the end of time."

'Wait… I could make this worse,' I thought, a sinister smile creeping onto my face as a truly diabolical idea formed in my mind. Why settle for simple eternal servitude when I could add an extra layer of torment? Perhaps I could make him serve me for his entire lifetime, then condemn his soul to my torture chamber for eternity. Given the extent of his sins, and the fact that he dared to impersonate me, he deserved the worst fate imaginable.

“Envy…” I muttered, summoning the full power of my dark magic. One of the tips of my tentacles extended and attached itself to his face, the connection throbbing with malevolent energy. "Erase all his memories but leave his intelligence intact. Alter them so that he believes he is my most loyal servant, dedicated to serving only me," I whispered, my voice dripping with dark intent.
