As the illusion broke, Vlad's eyes widened in shock and disgust as the true form of "Goddess Lucia" was revealed. Gone was the ethereal beauty, replaced by a grotesque and twisted figure—a fat, bald man with a large belly and a sickening expression of lust and gluttony.
The man's skin was utterly golden, as if made of precious metal, shimmering unnaturally. He wore nothing more than a nightgown that left his exposed genitals in full view. His appearance was a vile mockery of divinity, a revolting sight that made Vlad's stomach churn.
But it wasn't just "Goddess Lucia's" appearance that shattered before Vlad's eyes. The pristine, radiant children who had walked calmly around the pool were now revealed for what they truly were—broken, abused, and enslaved.
