Chapter Title: The Light Goddess's Challenge
-----------------------------------------------------------------
At first, I couldn't even process what I'd heard.
"Memories... from when I was a god...?"
By the time I stammered it out, it hit me like a blow to the head.
In a way, it made perfect sense. But it was something I hadn't considered.
No, it was something I'd agonized over endlessly long ago before finally giving up.
Why did I have this power?
If it was because I'd once been a god... that would fit everything together.
"You're saying I was a god?"
"Yes."
"Why... someone like me...?"
If this was the power of a god.
How many sins had I piled up in this human body?
It was a power meant for a rightful purpose. And yet I...
"Don't worry. Even when you were a god, Lord Decal, you were just as much of a womanizer as you are now."
"Cough..."
...Now I get it.
Sia knew me from my time as a god.
Finding out who Illesia was might not have been an issue for her at all.
Student council president Sia was flawlessly beautiful like a goddess,
used a name derived from the goddess's,
and stood at the heart of Melbritt.
If she were my enemy, it would have been smarter to make it harder to figure out. She wouldn't have needed to drop hints like this to lead me on.
But there were still unanswered questions.
"Why did I lose my memories?"
"When you recover those lost memories, you'll know everything."
"Ah... I see."
I reached out my hand.
But Sia clenched her fist, as if guarding the soul stone from me.
"Huh?"
"I haven't said I'd give it to you yet."
"You said you'd tell me everything!"
"Yes. I'll tell you everything.
But now's not the time to hand over this soul stone. There are conditions."
"Conditions?"
"Before I explain them, let me ask you something first.
As you've confirmed, hypnosis doesn't work on me.
Do you know why?"
I thought it over.
From what she'd just said, Sia knew me well, but not everything I'd been through.
She certainly couldn't read my mind.
But I couldn't see her as an enemy.
The moment hypnosis failed on her, she could have done whatever she wanted with me.
Yet here she was, respecting my will and trying to talk it out. That left two possibilities.
One: She'd been my ally even from my god days.
In that case, her resistance to hypnosis might mean she'd already been more thoroughly hypnotized and trained than Bella—making this whole situation, which seemed like Sia's will, actually part of my own plan after all.
Two: Sia was weighing my usefulness to her.
From Bella's reaction and my experiences so far, hypnosis was a rare ability even among gods.
No—based on what had just come to light, it was likely my unique authority.
Either way, I had no room to maneuver right now.
Some unidentified god out there still threatened my life.
To break through that, I needed Sia's power. If she planned to use me, she might demand my safety as a condition.
I'd made up my mind.
All my thoughts flowed swiftly, like water.
A missing puzzle piece had finally clicked into place.
"I know. I learned it from the goddess who made me her agent.
A goddess can divide her existence into three parts, including her main body, and in that state, hypnosis doesn't work.
The exact reason is unknown, but..."
"Yes. As you know, I've currently divided my existence into three.
The reason hypnosis doesn't affect me is that my consciousness is scattered from the division."
"Do the clones think independently? Like totally separate people?"
"The connection is faint, but they can move similarly.
But if I move like this, the other clones would be like mannequins—completely passive."
The connection fades...
That must be the reason Bella mentioned: why clones and the main body can't be together.
Even if you split a goddess's existence for fun 4P sex, the other two besides the main body would only react minimally due to the weak link.
It'd be like fucking two top-tier pussy dolls that don't really exist.
...Hold on. That still sounds hot?
Bella said she couldn't be with a clone, but this means I could add them as options during sex.
Including the main body, does that triple the pregnancy chance?
I was recalling what Bella had told me about "the conditions for impregnating a goddess."
A goddess can't get pregnant in her complete state, but she can when divided and incomplete.
Once pregnant that way, even reuniting doesn't erase the conception...
Huh, how'd I end up thinking about pregnancy?
Having these thoughts in front of a goddess... I really am something.
"Why can gods split into three in the first place? If they can't divide roles for efficiency, isn't it a useless feature?"
This was a question I'd had when Bella first told me.
She'd only said a first-rank god made it that way.
Would Illesia explain it differently?
...'To move forward, I need to know more about this.'
Illesia seemed to think exactly that.
"You're right—it's a useless function, and that's precisely why it has meaning."
"Useless, but meaningful?"
"At first, there were only two gods in the Harmony Realm. The two now called first-rank gods: Lady Premia and Lady Nimuel."
"Mm-hmm."
Both names I'd heard before—both goddesses.
What a beautiful world.
Wonder if imagining a first-rank god's pussy would bring divine punishment.
"The two used their authorities: Lady Premia created magical beasts, Lady Nimuel created humans."
"So the creators of magical beasts and humans are different. Didn't know that."
Not that it mattered.
Or... did it?
"Wait, does that mean my hypnosis..."
"Yes. Lord Decal's authority doesn't work on those blessed by Lady Premia.
That corresponds to the magical beasts you'll find in any world. Lady Nimuel, on the other hand, wanted humans to be highly intelligent like themselves. Thus, humans were born."
"I've met quite a few goddesses so far, and these two feel on another level."
"Exactly. Beings on another level entirely.
Everything below second-rank are merely pseudo-gods, humans elevated by first-rank gods for their service.
That's why they're incomplete. So the question isn't why they can split into three, but why they can't always stay as one... That's the right way to see it. Only two gods in the Harmony Realm exist as single, perfect beings."
"So...
Lower-rank gods can briefly unite into one and become perfect gods?"
Illesia nodded.
"That's called goddess descent or manifestation."
"Interesting."
In other words, a goddess can't get pregnant in her complete state.
Not because she can't, but because she doesn't need to.
As a single entity, she's already perfect—her human body is just a remnant from mortal days, and there's no reason to preserve the species.
The irony is that my hypnosis
works on goddesses only when they're complete, not incomplete.
"Now you understand properly.
Why hypnosis doesn't work on me."
"I get it. So when incomplete, you can be impregnated, and when complete, hypnotized..."
"Yes? Impregnated?"
Illesia's eyes went wide.
...Oops. I linked it naturally to pregnancy and slipped.
"..."
"..."
An awkward silence fell.
It wasn't the kind of talk for an audience with the goddess of light in this blindingly white space.
But Illesia just seemed surprised. She looked at me with gentle eyes.
"Yes, that's right.
Right now, Lord Decal, you could impregnate me."
"..."
Gulp.
Hearing it straight to my face like that sent blood rushing to my dick.
"Satisfied?"
"Yeah."
"The condition is for you to hypnotize me.
Until then, I can't give you the soul stone of my own will."
"You want to give it but can't. That's how it sounds."
"Exactly."
So, hypnotize her and take it.
But how?
"You know why hypnosis doesn't work on me. So conversely, how would you hypnotize me?"
Her soft tone, as if hoping I'd figure it out.
Like a teacher instructing a child, Illesia spoke gently.
"Make the incomplete goddess manifest."
"Yes, exactly."
"..."
Illesia approached and took my hand.
Her endlessly holy green eyes. Her beautiful skin seemed to draw me in.
Strangely... no lewd thoughts came.
"Conquer me, and hypnotize me."
"...What?"
I'd suspected as much.
A desperate plea to hypnotize her myself.
"Then take the soul stone from me, and preparations are complete."
"What the hell is this all for? You can at least tell me that much."
"Hmm... Well, it's practice to prepare for the real thing... So, I've given you all the minimal hints.
It's okay if you fail. I won't harm you, Lord Decal."
"So, go ahead and conquer me freely?"
"Yes."
If this was practice for something...
Did that mean a real battle would come eventually?
For now, it seemed I had to follow Illesia's lead.
No, this was actually a golden opportunity.
Conquer the goddess of light with no risk.
Succeed, and I could fuck her however I wanted.
Make that pretty mouth moan.
My dick was throbbing hard enough to burst through my pants.
Illesia seemed to sense my excitement and smiled with her eyes.
"If you succeed, you can even do impregnation sex. Once that happens, I won't have the right to refuse."
"Can't jump you right now?"
"No. Do it properly after hypnotizing me."
"...Tch."
I didn't want to back down like this.
Should I beg?
"At least let me have a taste."
"A taste...?"
"For motivation. What if I give up because it's too hard? That'd be bad for you too, right?"
"..."
Illesia looked troubled.
She clearly hadn't expected this kind of negotiation.
Finally, I'd cornered her. A pathetic way to do it, sure.
"Specifically, what..."
I pulled Illesia into an embrace.
Holding the revealed goddess like my woman, I slid my hand forward and kneaded her ass.
I kissed her. Much more intensely than before, shoving my tongue in.
Pouring saliva freely.
"...Mm."
Illesia parted her lips, granting the taste.
Letting our tongues mix, letting me grope her ass.
The fact alone was so arousing I ground my dick against her while kissing.
I was like an animal driven by pure lust.
Messing up Illesia's neat, pretty outfit with animalistic motions, slathering her with my spit in kisses, groping her ass to stimulate her body—it was the peak of depravity, numbing my brain.
This wasn't enough.
I wanted to shove my dick in right now and fuck.
What had our relationship been? Had I already fucked her enough to corrupt her pussy and mind into slavery?
If I'd hypnotized her before, I'd probably fuck Illesia every day.
She had that kind of appeal, fanning the flames of male desire.
"Slurp... Smack..."
Her holy green eyes, enough to make sinners repent and kneel, watched me.
Even as I groped her vulgarly, Illesia didn't hate it.
I sensed it instinctively.
Whatever hypnosis I'd used, she'd definitely been trained thoroughly by me.
She showed no sign of disgust, even with my selfish lust forced on her.
Hiding revulsion in such close contact is hard. It shows in expressions or tiny movements.
But from the first embrace, Illesia showed no instinctive stiffening from dislike.
Every part of her body felt like it accepted me, cherished me.
"...Illesia. We've fucked a lot, haven't we?"
"..."
I whispered after pulling from her lips.
Illesia said nothing.
I kissed her again, sucking her tongue vulgarly as I spoke.
"Just wait a bit.
I'll definitely hypnotize you and fuck you day and night till you're pregnant. Got it?"
"...It's late today."
"Huh?"
We'd been pressed tight together.
But like some invisible force intervened, we naturally parted.
Regrettable... Guess the goddess taste ends here.
I'd buy the expansion pack in a heartbeat if I could.
Looks like unlocking goddess pussy requires hypnosis, not cash.
The light filling the space faded.
The pure white dreamlike area vanished, and reality returned.
This was the library on the second floor of Melbritt's main building.
In truth, my position hadn't changed since the start.
"Every midnight, I'll wait here."
...Should I ask now?
What kind of god I'd been in my past life.
"..."
No...
"Yeah, see you."
Illesia had said even as a god, I'd been a womanizer.
That was enough.
I'd learn everything when I regained my memories anyway.
I left the library.
Who'd have thought leaving this place would feel like this?
The beautiful goddess of light, drawing me in with her mysterious demeanor.
Whatever the truth of this world, it didn't matter to me.
Hypnotize Illesia.
That was my top priority right now.
Even before heading back to the dorm, my mind was set on the Eight-Colored Shell Castle.
To find the two goddesses who'd help me, I headed to the castle.
