What Do You Mean My Cute Disciples Are Yanderes?-Novel

(Manami POV)

Lian Li had gone first and she was honestly a natural at it.

There were some people that were living at the top of some mountains and we witnessed some men pulling along a few girls towards a cave to presumably rape them.

Lian Li had then descended from the sky with lightning and thunder all around her like an angry Goddess, which I suppose she actually was.

She then wordlessly struck down each of the men and stayed hovering up in the air, allowing the women to stare up at her with awe.

It did not take long before the first woman started prostrating herself on the ground which prompted the others to start prostrating too, all of them already seeing her as some divine being.

"I am Lian Li, Goddess of Conception, First Disciple of Origin. Worship me and I will grant you my protection," Lian Li spoke in a commanding tone, her Divine nature making sure that they understood her words regardless of their language.

Those women hesitated for only a second before they were all singing words of praise to Lian Li in their own tongue.

Soon enough, they were guiding her back to their own village with each of them constantly bowing their heads the entire way.

Lian Li then proceeded to turn their entire village into a matriarchal society by slaughtering the men who had lorded over the village and did whatever they wanted. She empowered the women and they turned the tables on their tyrants, overthrowing them within that very same day.

They even started to create some kind of idol to represent Lian Li to worship as well.

The effect was almost immediate as we could feel Lian Li's Divine presence thicken and her domain grow even stronger.

In return, she gave the most devoted of them wings which signified their status as her believers while also making sure to give them a copy of our Holy Scriptures so that they knew about Master's Divinity.

I wondered how they would leave descendents with all the men gone but Lian Li solved that by giving them another blessing with her Conception domain, allowing them to get pregnant through a divine ritual.

So this was how Gods grow stronger.

Then it was my turn.

I looked down at the place that I had found for the sake of gaining followers. Lilith may have found this World for us but it was up to us to find the followers ourselves.

Below me was a small village of people who were still stuck using simple tools and living in houses carved into the abnormally large trees around here.

The only thing that was special about them was the fact that their ears were elongated and tapered at the ends. Aside from that, they looked like normal humans.

One thing I noted that was to my advantage was the fact that they were exploiting the forest with no regard to sustainability. I could already see this part of the forest becoming barren in several decades or so if nothing changed.

That meant I could do whatever I wanted with them using that as an excuse~

I decided to use an equally direct approach by appearing before them in a pillar of fire, causing those closest to me to let out screams of surprise and fear.

"You have lived and enjoyed the fruits of the forest but yet you give nothing in return. The forest shall also reject you lest you repent and correct your ways."

I materialised a small ball of fire in my hand that shot out fire spears to pierce into several of those beings, the fire bursting within their bodies to incinerate them from the inside.

Some of them tried to run so I created a wall of fire to block them in, forcing them to gather in front of me as they watched me with absolute fear in their eyes.

"Worship me and live as one with the forest. Else face my wrath once more. That is my warning to all of you."

One of them quickly scurried towards my feet and prostrated themselves to me, making pleading noises to let them live.

The others also followed her lead and prostrated themselves behind her, begging for my mercy and giving promises to live as I had instructed them to.

I reached into my sleeve and pulled out a copy of our Holy Scriptures and instructed one of them to receive it.

The woman who had been the first to prostrate herself scurried forward with her head still bowed low, kneeling herself in front of me to accept the scripture from me.

"Read it, dedicate your lives to worship and not only would you not need to fear my wrath, you would be blessed as well."

To prove my words, I waved my hand over her and fire wrapped around her body.

Instead of hurting her, however, it burned away all her ailments and made her even more beautiful and healthy, giving her an almost ethereal glow that highlighted my blessing to her.

She gasped and everyone else was also looking at her with a mixture of shock and awe, until they remembered I was there and quickly went back to prostrating.

"I am Manami, Goddess of the Brightest Star, destined mate of Origin. You would all do well to remember me."

They made several more fearful noises before I disappeared in a pillar of fire and extinguished the flames surrounding them, freeing them from their fiery prison.

The moment I left, the newly blessed woman quickly barked out orders to dedicate a shrine to me with the Holy Scripture as their holy artefact to be obeyed.

Already, I could feel the changes stirring up within me as their worship empowered my Divine self.

When I returned to my sisters, Kiyomi came towards me with a slight smile on her face.

"Dear sister… I never knew you would resort to a show of force like that."

I giggled, "Ara, ara? It is the most effective, isn't it? Plus, these little insects weren't believers of Master yet so their lives were worth less than anything else in existence~"

"Fufu~ I suppose that is true. As expected of dear sister."

Lilith came up to me as well, "Oh~ That was a splendid display! Control through fear and obedience!  The tried and tested carrot and stick method! As expected of Daddy's disciples! I had my doubts at first, but now I think we can actually do it!"

Ufufufu~ But of course, we are Master's disciples after all, such a thing should have been expected of us.

Now let's see what the rest of my sisters would do to gain their followers~
