"Got any clues?" David asks Crow that has been sniffing his nose at the ground. There's a trace of mana leading toward an abandoned shed near the forest outside the Capital. David can sense someone's divinity inside the dusty shed. Next to the shed is appeared to be a bungalow, abandoned of course.
The greyhound growls sinisterly at the shed, indicating that the Idol and the divine deity must be in that shed. Crow prepares his position to break into the shed, the dog stays behind since David doesn't want to hurt the dog by asking it to come face to face with a deity. David covers himself on the side of the door, while Crow stands before the door.
His foot ready to kick the door and rush in.
"Ready?" David asks.
"Whenever you are" Crow nods.
David signals Crow to go forth and break into the shed, the man's strength can break open the dusty wooden door. Inside the dusty door is the collapsed Min Soo and the blonde-haired woman who kidnapped him.
Crow rushes in first, swinging his heavy claymore toward the Goddess, she merely touches the edges of the claymore; she didn't suffer any damage.
Not to mention she only touches the edges with the tip of her finger, she doesn't bat an eye toward the two gentlemen that just broke into the dusty shed. She merely shushes them as she lifts Min-Soo to the air, his body is floating as if tortured; he groans in pain as tears engulf his fair face.
"What are you doing to Min Soo!?" David growls at the Goddess. "I know that you're not a regular person, that thick mana flow can only mean one thing, you're a deity".
"So what if I am? It's just a codename" the woman speaks in volume. "Are you impressed? Because I'm not, it only means I have big responsibilities to bear".
The two men are looking at the Goddess who seems to be inflicting something on Min Soo. David is about to rush in, letting out his Firos power to take the lead; he swings his fiery sword at the Goddess. However, she easily blocks his fire with a water shield; such is the power of a deity.
David clicks his tongue, as he backs away; The Goddess pushes the two gentlemen with the snap of her finger. A wave of water forms from the ground, sending the two gentlemen back. The Goddess takes to hold onto Min Soo, rendering him useless and inflicting pain on him to no end.
David refuses to give up on Min Soo, the main rushes in again; trying to retrieve Min Soo from the woman's grasp. However, the Goddess knows this well and decides to hold onto his chin when he approaches closer, using her charm he brings David to his knees. Gasping for breath, he feels something is clenching his chest tight.
Crow decides to give him a hand, but the Goddess pheromones are strong enough to bring Crow on his knees since he's weak with charm ability.
"The two of you don't know anything about Min Soo" Aphrodite sighs. "He's a monster that I summoned from another world, he will be the main cause of Sanctus Luminera's downfall".

Sweeping his shattered PC with a brand new broomstick, Min Soo sighs as he sees the objects he adores are all broken to pieces. He throws away the pieces in the trashcan outside his bedroom. The voice inside his head keeps whispering to end his mother's life, it's a voice that tests his sanity.
He wouldn't lie about wanting to kill her mother at that time, Min Soo is beyond furious; his eyes darkened. His bronze eyes shine in the darkness as he passes by the living room where his mother calls someone on her end, filled with hatred and rage; Min Soo glares at her from a distance.
She always destroys everything she holds dear, whether it's his things or his hobbies, if it doesn't benefit him in the education part, she considers them as trashes. Still holding a broomstick, Min Soo walks sneakily to his mother, looking at her from behind. His urge to hit her head is strong, there's a vase on his left.
"I could have killed her before" Min Soo thoughts to himself. "If I kill her now, will I be happy?".
Min Soo grabs the vase quietly as she walks to her mother; tip-toeing his steps like an assassin. The voice inside his head is getting stronger by the minute, it tells him to end her pathetic life. His mother's career will be ruined and she would stop ruining his things if he were to vanish; his bloodlust is boosted by the dark voices in his head.
"Just hit her head with the vase you just picked up, there's nothing wrong with that" the voice whispers. "She will be asleep, permanently".
"Asleep? What?" Min Soo questions his sanity when he sees how unaware she is.
Surely, he hates her guts but to make her sleep permanently means, he can't use her to reach his purpose to surpass her. He is a logical person, he can't kill the one who funded all his courses and school; if he kills her now then he wouldn't be able to take revenge on her later on.
Not to mention that he's still in school and has no other ways to fully funded himself; he needs to use his mother.
"A physical death is nothing compared to what she did to me mentally" Min Soo whispers to himself; he snapped out from the voices inside his head.
"Kill her! Kill her" the voice tries to succumb Min Soo into his bloodlust.
The Idol persists from the voice; he starts to feel something is wrong with this world. His mind cleared up, he must be trapped in some sort of dimension, jail, or illusions. He doesn't believe in the voice inside his head, it could only mean one thing. Aphrodite might be the one who set this up, she wants to rile him up.
"Wait, I'm still not sure" Min Soo thoughts to himself yet again, uncertainty fills his mind. "Why is it that Aphrodite knows about this? What did she do to me?".
He memorizes the time when she broke her ribcage like a toy, she was physically tortured him.
"Does that mean she's torturing me mentally as well?" Min Soo brainstorms the most logical conclusion.

Crow is knocked out cold on the floor, whilst David persists the Goddess charm attacks; he has a strong will and perhaps quite immune to it.
"Wow, you're a strong person David" Aphrodite walks over David and steps on his loins, irritating him. "I can see why Min Soo is attracted toward you, my charm is not even that effective against you, you're one special person huh".
Stepping on David, treating him like a scum; out of the blue, the Goddess feels uneasy. She glances at the floating Min Soo.
The Idol shines brightly in pink magenta color as if coming back alive. His mana rejuvenated and the groaning disappears in a blink of an eye.
"So he realized the trick, but what about it?" the Goddess smirks in hostility. "How will he escape the mental prison I made especially for him?".
"MENTAL prison!?" David reacts wildly. "Why are you doing this!? Min Soo is innocent! That prison could kill the prisoner if he chooses the wrong answer! What did you do!? What condition did you set for-".
"Be quiet please" Aphrodite muffles David's mouth with her kisses, inserting something in his mouth in-between.
Chokes and forced, David digested a poison berry that slowly burns the inside of his mouth. He gasps for air as he holds onto his lungs and crawls on the floor in agony. Shifting her gaze to Min Soo, she crosses her arms in amusement. Aphrodite is certainly amused with the cute warrior she chose.
"So what answer will you choose? Min Soo, my dearest" she licks her lips, entertained by Min Soo's stubbornness to survive.
