From how Golgamis' jaw was cut off, one might have thought that the punishment for the greed and pride members would be bloody and terrible. But that did not ended up happening. For level 600 plus strong individuals, physical torture and punishments were not a big deal all. Who could reach this high level without losing a limb or two ?

That was why, for most of the time, the pain tolerance of a high level individual was very high. For that reason, even if their bones were broken or a limb or two were severed, they would not feel much of anything. That was why, regular physical torture had very low effect on the high level individuals.

That was why, the preferred torture method to punish a demigod was actually related to the soul. Any pain inflicted directly on the soul was hundreds, if not thousands of times more painful.

But for the Evil Devils, just inflicting pain was not a good enough punishment. So they had something else in mind. One of the devil here was called Yonnu and unfortunately for Golgamis, he was actually the direct superior of Iskan Dar Atlentika, his ancestor. As for the reason why he was dressed in rags. As he was working in construction, this dress was actually the proper attire.

Yonnu was an expert in a special type of soul magic. This magic allowed him to make other demigod to fall into nightmares of his making. Without a good understanding of the soul or a proper soul defense method, this magic of his was extremely troublesome to handle.

As soon as Yonnu cast the spell, all the members of the Dark Gold Treaty and Ruler Assembly fell asleep immediately, except for three people. They were Golgamis, Gandalv and a young man with an androgynous look. This young man was someone who had joined the Dark Gold Treaty just a few days ago and Gandlav was not even aware of his name.

It was very surprising for everyone present here that an nameless insignificant looking person had also managed to accomplish what only the two leaders were able to. This was truly a very impressive feat.

But this also made everyone present here suspicious about his identity. Not only the two leaders but even the Evil Devils were looking at them with caution in their eyes.

Now that all the attention in the room was focused on him, powerhouses started to notice something special about this person. So far, he was the only person who had not showed any kind of reaction even in this problematic situation. That was definitely bizzare.

As the androgynous man noticed all the attention around him, he suddenly sighed and stood up. As he was not moving at all before, everyone had assumed that he was also paralysed. But that turned out to not be the case. Then the mysterious man took out a pile of papers out of nowhere and started to read them out aloud.

"The current temporary leader of the Ruler Assembly, Golgamis of the Atlentika Kingdom had committed the sin of disrespecting the goddess and putting the lives of the people participating in the festival in danger. Due to this, he would be punished with the an enhanced curse of Weakness."

As soon as this man finished saying so, a sinister looking black mark appeared on Golgamis' chest. As soon as that happened, Golgamis felt that all his stats and the levels of his skills went down. For that reason, he was unable to continue resisting the soul nightmare magic of Yonnu and fell asleep with a resigned look on his face. This was definitely the worst day in this super proud man's long life.

"As for Gandlav, the uncrowned but effective leader of the Dark Gold Treaty, you're also a sinner for committing the same crimes as mentioned before. As for your punishment, the "Walking Stick of the Traveler God" would not belong to you anymore."

As soon as this line was spoken, the divine grade item that Gandlav was crazy for disappeared from his hand. What was protecting him from the soul nightmare magic was this divine walking stick, so as soon as he lost it, the protection also disappeared and he also fell asleep just like the others.

After this, the man turned around to face the Evil Devils and bowed his head very deeply. Then he adressed the Evil Devils before him.

"I apologised for the mistakes made by the organisations of sin and my master would do her best to compensate for this blunder in any possible way. For the time being, to show her sincerity, she had sent a bunch of "Blue Polarlight Gems" and a ton of "Pure White Ash". Please use them to add the finishing touches to this truly grand temple."

What this mysterious man said did not lessen the suspicion of the Evil Devils at all. So they asked about who this master was and what role was she playing in all this. In answer, this man finally introduced himself.

He turned out to be a nameless person working for someone called the Grand Sinner. As for who this Grand Sinner was, it was actually another one of Seola's direct subordinates who was the responsibility to manage all the organisations of sin from the shadows. Even the leaders were not aware of the existence of this person.

As for why this Grand Sinner had not tried to stop the this foolish plan, it was simple. The duty that she was given was to give punishment to the sinners but only after the crime had actually been committed. That was why she had not done anything to stop the Dark Gold Treaty and the Ruler Assembly except for sending a subordinate to keep a close eye on them.

This was also one of the reason why Elena was carefree about this dangerous plan. Even if Elena did not take any steps, this Grand Sinner person was going to make sure that the damage done to the City of Sin from this incident was kept to a minimal degree.

After finishing his introduction, the androgynous and mysterious man lowered his own resistances immediately and fell into the same nightmare like others. As he also a person who had participated in this plan, he was not planning to skip out on the punishment.

...

Almost all the high level Individuals were long lived being who had experienced a lot in their long life. That was why one might think that something as simple as a nightmare would not have any effects on them. But that was actually not the case.

No matter how strong or how long lived someone was, there were things that one would have regretted or feared. That was why, they were not immune to the effect of a nightmare that could dug up all their deepest secrets and could even create new fears that did not existed before. Without a super strong willpower, no one would be able to tackle the nightmare with confidence.

So this would be the punishment for the people participating in this foolish plan. A simple nightmare that would only last a few days at most. But in just those few days, these people would have lived several lives and all of those lives would be filled with pain, despair and sadness. So after all of that was over, not being mind broken would actually be a positive result.
