Chapter 81 - Securing a Sex Promise from the Goddess
Goddess Gaia. The world's sole deity, whose name even forms the root of the Gaia Empire I belonged to. The entity who crafted the Hero's Blessing and personally appointed the Saintess.
"Are you really the goddess?"
"......Yes."
Given how real and vivid the pain from that slap felt, she had to be the genuine article.
Gaia was covering her breasts with both hands, her face flushed beet red, wearing an expression of profound displeasure.
But a real goddess? For real?
"Please, just behave yourself."
"Got it."
As soon as I settled down, the oppressive pressure bearing down on me vanished. I flexed my fingers, reliving that sensation from moments ago. It had been the perfect handful of tits...
"Ahem."
"Perverted man."
Gaia seemed to grasp exactly what my hand movements meant. I quickly yanked both hands behind my back.
"What brings you here, Goddess?"
"Let me turn that question back on you."
Finally, the conversation was getting somewhere. Gaia lowered her hands from her chest and approached me with elegant grace. Her body was as close to perfection as it got.
"It'd be weirder if you didn't come looking for me."
The goddess seeking me out? She hadn't in the previous timeline. Ah, wait—could it be?
"Don't tell me it's because I fucked the Saintess, Goddess?"
"Well, that's part of it, of course."
The goddess, trying to keep her composure, flushed with anger. And from the way her face turned even redder, it seemed like she'd watched Ray and me going at it in our lovey-dovey, intense lovemaking.
"Some men can't help themselves the moment they learn a woman is a saintess and keep pushing for sex. Some women, knowing full well they're saintesses, recreate their hymen every time and masturbate nonstop."
So on days I'm not around, she satisfies herself with masturbation. Not just Ray—all my women do it. Fingering their aching pussies while thinking of me.
"Do you have any idea how many unseemly sights I have to witness every time you have sex?"
Being a goddess, she elegantly phrased it as "sexual relations" instead of the raw word "sex."
"Plenty of men and women in this world fuck each other. You've seen it more than once or twice."
"I've never seen sexual relations as crude and barbaric as yours, Daron!"
...Fair enough. There probably wasn't another man who pounded pussy as roughly and for as long as I did. And now the goddess herself had proven it. The moment it became crystal clear: I, Daron, was the superior stud.
"So you're telling me to hold back?"
"Yes. Frankly, I don't care how much seed you spread around, but the Saintess is off-limits."
"What can I do if she wants it? And if I don't fuck her... Ray would lose her spark and couldn't perform at her best."
"A lewd Saintess! There's never been such a thing!"
"Just because there hasn't doesn't mean it's impossible. And... how about this instead? You ask me nicely."
"Ask you? Me?"
"I'll help you fuck any bitch you want, so in return, you stop the Demon King for sure."
This was probably the goddess's real goal. She'd tried to keep Ray away from sex originally because she figured lust would be a hindrance in the fight against the Demon King. But Ray now was different. My cock had become her energy source.
"And how exactly do you plan to stop the Demon King?"
"You know."
I stepped closer to the goddess and her flawless body. She smelled divine.
"That I'm a regressor."
Regression. Returning to the past from the future, memories intact.
"The Regression Jewel. The Demon King's emergency escape plan from the previous timeline, his surefire path to victory. I know all about it."
"Surefire, huh?"
When I'd plunged the holy sword into the Demon King's heart, that glowing gem he'd possessed was a magic tool tied to regression.
"The Demon King planned to use that jewel to go back in time if things went south. With his memories intact, just like you, Daron, he could've launched an even more successful invasion next time."
"So you saw me, the sole survivor, slay the Demon King to the end. Then you know the previous timeline was a total failure. We forced him to use that Regression Jewel or whatever, but our continent got successfully wrecked anyway."
"That was my oversight. I never imagined his forces would fracture that badly."
"Exactly. Goddess, you should actually be thanking me. My final blow turned the Demon King's plans to dust."
"You're right. I'm truly grateful for that."
I'd half-worried I'd get divine smited for my arrogance, but fortunately, the goddess acknowledged my massive contribution. And she had no choice—after all, I'd basically lived this world once already. Sure, without my intervention, doom would return. But with me stepping in instead of the Demon King regressing, the situation had flipped in our favor.
"And you know all my actions so far have been worthwhile."
"Daron. Be honest—half of it or more was just your lust talking, wasn't it?"
Seducing multiple women after Ray definitely involved my personal desires.
"And?"
"Pardon?"
"What were the results? All good. I saved the Saintess from a bad guy, cleared my wrongful charges. I stopped Rise—who had ill intentions—from approaching Ariana, turning her into a true ally who helps me wholeheartedly. Plus, Ariana got stronger from the stimulation I gave her. And... in the previous timeline's magical beast subjugation, the knight order took heavy losses. But this time, most of the Gold Eagle Knights survived unscathed."
"You can't pretend it was all pure motives."
"True. Some of it was just me fucking because I love fucking, and good things happened along the way. It'll probably keep happening."
"You got lucky, but... yeah, I can't argue with the results."
Finally, Gaia conceded that my merits outweighed everything. From thwarting the Demon King's regression to this very moment, nothing had worsened—only improved.
"I acknowledge it. As this world's goddess, I offer you my deepest gratitude, Daron."
"So no objections to my future exploits?"
"For now, yes."
The goddess's approval was mine. I'd half-expected her to rein in my rampant conquests, but now, under her tacit permission, I could devour the Saintess and any other women I wanted.
"That makes you happy, huh?"
"Of course. Sex is fucking awesome."
"......I still can't quite believe it. I knew sexual relations felt good, but to yield everything so easily..."
That's because her partner was me. Even with a mediocre dick or poor technique, claiming a woman's everything is tough. You need my superior cock and skills, plus the silver tongue to fully capture her heart.
"Ah. Goddess, have you ever had your cherry popped?"
"O-Of course I'm a virgin! What do you take a goddess for?"
Then let me pop it. But saying that would be pushing it. Wow. Even a goddess had the concept of virginity. Still, cross that line with this benevolent deity, and I'd get worse than that slap—heavenly wrath for sure.
"I absolutely won't."
"......I didn't say anything."
"From everything I've seen of you so far, you're definitely thinking something shameless like that."
"You watched all the sex?"
"Hmmm......"
That meant she'd spectated my post-regression cockwork in full. Kinda embarrassing. The goddess couldn't lie and just clamped her mouth shut.
"Anyway. Let's get to the main point. I only meant for a quick chat, but somehow it's dragged on."
"Yes. Tell me why you've come to me, Goddess."
"Unlike the previous timeline, the disaster in the Lancelot Duchy has been accelerated."
Lancelot Duchy. The grand duchy of the Gaia Empire, ruled by the northern hero Kasid Nova. I'd planned to meet his daughter, Grand Duchess Grace, but setting that aside...
"The disaster striking Lancelot—you mean that massive catastrophe from the war's endgame, right? Where over half the duchy died at once."
"Do you remember those demon siblings you captured? The Demon King was behind it."
"As expected."
"But now, events will start diverging from the previous timeline bit by bit. Like a butterfly effect—unpredictable things unlike before."
If the demon siblings were the Demon King's doing, that made sense. Unlike my minor conquests like fucking Ariana or Rise, that directly impacted the invasion's mastermind.
"On top of that, the pollution of the elves' forest will accelerate too."
"Meaning I need to hurry."
The Demon King's plans were advancing faster. My leisurely preparations were starting to go awry.
"Protect the elves' forest first. The disaster comes after. There's still time."
"Ah."
What the—? My vision was blurring.
"Time's already up. If you hadn't groped my breasts... Anyway, I entrust it to you. Even conversing with you like this is taxing for me, bound by the world's laws from direct interference..."
"Yes? Yes?"
From what I could catch, the goddess couldn't directly stop the Demon King's invasion. And meeting me here was a strain too.
"......And when you wake, someone will be there for you... Better cooperate..."
"Goddess! Just promise me this one thing!"
As our connection frayed to the breaking point, I shouted.
"If I defeat the Demon King, will you fuck me?!"
"......You shameless per..."
With that final echo, I parted from the goddess.
"Got it."
"You promised?!"
Sex with the goddess. Fuck, I couldn't pass that up! Vowing to stop the Demon King and save this world no matter what, I awoke from slumber.
......Creak, creak, creak.
"Hnn... Ah."
I was back in reality. After glimpsing that perfect body, blood rushed to my lower half.
Creak, creak, creak.
"Haaa♥"
......This wasn't just morning wood? Something was squeezing my cock tight. While moving up and down.
"Haaang. I had no idea sex with a man felt this good. Should've tried it sooner. Hoo♥"
My eyes snapped open, and what I saw was a demon woman with a gray ponytail. The one I'd seen before... one of the Four Heavenly Kings, "Shadow Sorceress" Set.
Fuck, what the hell? Was I the one getting fucked right now?
