"I already gave you everything, so release me you insignificant swine!"
"What was that? Say it louder, you're a god, aren't you? Speak up! I thought the almighty Zeus' voice would boom with a ferocious roar, but you sound like some crybaby!"
Zeus was hung up by his wrists with two metal cuffs mounted on the wall. His feet were tied by chains that prevented the usage of magic, even for someone as powerful as he.
"I already told you, that's all I know, you have to believe me!!"
The girl standing in front of Zeus wore a black latex suit, holding a whip inside of her hand. Her long red hair hung down to her back whilst her gazing blue eyes instilled fear into the deity.
She lifted the whip once more, cracking it against his stomach, giving him a new scar out of the many around his body.
"Gyaaah!" He tried breaking free from his restraints, but they were far too powerful, "How can such puny metal keep me bound to this wall?
"Fufufu, how indeed. Lord Emperor is a powerful man, his castle has material that can even keep the gods in such pitiful states, such as you, Zeus." She walked towards him, punching his gut.
"Gah! Y-You wench!"
The woman would then wrap the whip around his neck, choking him, "I'll give you three more chances. If you don't tell me who your creator is, I'll remove your finger. If you deny me again, I'll remove your eyes, after that, it will be your family jewels. Gods have them, right? After all, in the stories about Zeus, you were a horny man, always having sex with anyone you could get your hands on."
"Didn't you hear what I said?! That's everything that I know!"
"So be it. Say goodbye to your precious hands."
"No, stop—stop it please!"
Knock—Knock—Knock.
"Hm?" She glanced at the door. "Who the hell is that? They know not to interrupt me when I have a prisoner. If it's Keiko, I'm going to spank her again." The red-haired woman placed the whip on a wooden table, approaching the door, "Just a second." Opening the door she would be greeted with two familiar faces, "Oh..."
"...Shit, it's Scarlett," Kuma whispered under his breath, attempting to turn around and walk away.
"Kuma, you returned?"
"O-Oh... hey Scarlett." He turned around with a worried expression
"Come here big boy…~"
Without any warning, he was pulled into the room and pushed to the wall. She would pin his hands against the wall, pressing her finger onto his lips, whispering.
"You've been gone for so long. Did you miss me?"
"Uhh, Kuma, what's going on?" Asked Lucienne.
"I-I don't wanna talk about it!!"
"No, tell me, what the hell is going on!?"
Scarlett turned to face Lucienne in the doorway, responding, "You must be a friend of his. Ah, I see, so you're also part of the Phantom Mutiny."
"Y-Yeah...? Is that a problem?" Asked Lucienne.
"Not a problem at all." Kuma was released from the wall as Scarlett slowly approached the demon girl in front of her, "In fact; it turns me on."
"W-Wait what??" Lucienne stepped back and bumped into the wall behind her, "Hold on just a second, what's your deal?!"
"Every single member of the Phantom Mutiny will be mine. Lord Emperor, Emerald, Christopher, Crimson, Kuma, Angelica... and you, who I'm assuming is Lucienne, yes?" She pressed her latex-covered boobs against the demon's face, suffocating her into the wall, "What a beauty~!"
"Maelstrom!" Behind Scarlett, a voice was heard. It was Kuma. He extended his palm towards the redhead, casting a spell, "Sorry Scarlett, but we have no time to deal with your Phantom Mutiny obsession, so I'll be putting you on timeout."
"What?! You can't do this! I-I just met Lucienne, let me talk to her first!"
"No can do!"
A sinkhole would emerge underneath Scarlett, sucking her in like a black hole. She was sent into a pocket dimension, sealed away until Kuma released her body.
"Alright, that should do it." He huffed, turning around to face the confused Zeus, "Now then." Kuma approached them, as Lucienne also entered the torture chamber.
"We've come to ask you a few questions. I'm hoping you can answer them for us." Kuma grabbed a chair, placing it in the middle of the room to sit down.
"What sort of questions? I already told her everything I know?" Said Zeus.
"It's about the new admins for the Main Lobby. I need some details regarding that?" Questioned Kuma.
"I-I don't understand what you mean."
"I mean; who's going to be the new admins? Since the holy trinity are no longer admins, other players will take their spot, correct?"
"No, it's much more complicated than that." Said Zeus.
"I don't get it, can you explain more in-depth?" Asked Kuma.
"It's done by RNG. Some random group of players will become admin, or maybe some other group of gods. I don't know, but the Miracle Volume System will decide that."
"Miracle Volume System?" Asked Lucienne.
"Yes. I'm sure you all know that mysterious voice that talks to you whenever you log in or create a character. It randomly chooses new staff, no matter how cruel, wicked, or evil that person may be. It's just how it is, I cannot change it."
"That's ridiculous, what kind of system is that? Is your creator trying to have people pointlessly die?!" Lucienne approached Zeus, slamming her fist into the wall by his head, "You're starting to piss me off. Are you saying there's nothing you can do to change it? How about you grow some balls, and speak your mind? Is your creator too ignorant to even listen to you?"
"Yes, he is..." Zeus said, bowing his head.
"Tsk... what a pain in the ass." She exclaimed.
"Currently, only the North Continent has a main lobby, but our creator is creating three new main lobby's. One on the West continent, South Continent, and another on the East Continent. They will be ruled by other gods as well."
"What? You have to be kidding me..." Muttered Kuma.
"No, I'm afraid this is the truth. The West Continent's main lobby will be ruled by Buddha, Jade the Emperor, and Bodhisattva, the gods of Buddhism. For the South Continent, Odin, Thor, and Loki will become the admins. The East continent will have Amaterasu, Benzaiten, and Izanagi become admins. They're all-powerful, but I'm certain with someone like Emperor in your guild, they won't be much of a problem."
"If what you say is true… can't your creator make them stronger than you, Athena, and Apollo?" Asked Lucienne.
"Most certainly. Our creator exists on a level that even the Four Great Kings cannot fathom his ineffable strength. His power is absolute. He is the maker of this world, whether we like it or not."
"Hmmm..." Kuma looked down in thought, "Looks like I'll have to warn Angelica about the West continents Main Lobby."
"And we also have to tell the others about the new admins." Said Lucienne.
"Yeah, you're right, they need to know about everything, as scary as it sounds." He sighed. "Alright, thanks for the assistance, Zeus." Kuma stood up, turning to face the door, "Let's go Lucienne."
"W-Wait, are you leaving me here?"
"Hm?" Both Kuma and Lucienne turned around, facing him.
"Of course we are—we only came for information." Responded Lucienne.
"I'm afraid your torture has to continue, those are Emperor's words, not mine." Said Kuma.
"No, I can't take anymore! Not from someone like her, please, it can be anyone else!" Zeus struggled to break free, shaking his limbs in desperation, "Don't leave me!!!"
Snap!
"Sorry, it has to be this way." Kuma snapped his fingers, creating a sinkhole on the ground. Scarlett emerged from the seal, appearing once more.
"Ah, I'm back." She looked around the room, seeing the door shut, "How did I return?"
"They left in a hurry once you emerged. Their purpose was to question me. Please, I told you people everything that I know, release me at once!"
Scarlett would face Zeus with a wide grin.
"You don't get it, do you?"
"Get what exactly?"
"The whole reason for this is to tame you into a good little dog. I'll break you, and make you suffer. Your pain is only the beginning, I have to make sure you become a good pet for Lord Emperor, at all costs."
"You sadistic swine! You mortals have no respect for the divine!"
"Well, I am sadistic, but I am no swine." She walked towards the whip, grasping it in her hand, "But I can make you into one. I'll transform you into my little pig who grovels beneath my feet and licks my toes."
Zeus closed his eyes, lowering his head in shame.
"Have mercy…"
"Mercy? Were you going to show mercy to the innocent lives inside the main lobby? I think not. So why should I give you that sort of treatment?" She lifted the whip inside her hand, smirking at his fear, "Now scream!"
Crack!
The sound of her whip would strike his body.
His screams of pain echoed through the eleventh floor of the castle, left with no choice but to accept his fate.
