Holy Knight Yohan (1)

They called it a masterpiece, so I was expecting something spectacular — but looking at it as an item, it was basically the same as a Rare-grade piece.

Honestly, it was worse than an actual item. Even Common-grade gear came with at least one option, but this statue only had the masterpiece effect.

If the Earth Spirit Stone ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠effect hadn't been attached, I would have been disappointed. Expensive materials ought to earn their keep.

"It's amazing..."

Still, Sophia seemed satisfied. She hadn't asked us to make it hoping for options in the first place, so this was more than enough.

Watching our goddess tear up with emotion, I figured the statue had done its job.

"Is Master crying?"

"Crybaby..."

"Who's crying?!"

Hearing the kids, Sophia threw her head high. Anyone could tell she was fighting back tears.

—Kids. Sometimes in life, you need a little consideration. This is one of those moments. Even if your goddess is crying, pretend you don't notice.

—Says the guy who couldn't even manage that and ended up a slave. Real talkative for a slave, aren't you?

—You little...

Coming from Lirota, the advice lost some credibility — but it was still the right call. There are moments when people need consideration. I called Cheonsol over.

"Let's give Master a hug."

"And why should we do that?"

"If I hug her alone, Sophia might try to run away."

The perfect plan: I enjoy Sophia's chest from the front while Cheonsol wraps her from behind and cuts off her escape route.

Cheonsol looked at me like I was garbage. She worked her mouth like she had a lot to say, then glanced at the kids and let out a sigh.

"Very well. Let us do so."

We hugged Sophia. She buried her face in my chest and rubbed against it hard. Every time the fabric of my clothes grew damp, my abs got crushed under those massive breasts.

"Thank you... Thank you so much..."

"Don't cry. When you cry, it makes me sad too."

Please keep crying. Sophia's tear-streaked face was so pitiful and pretty it triggered every protective instinct I had. And more than anything — she was grinding her chest all over me.

Today's goddess was wearing a bra. But since I'd made that bra myself, I could still feel her soft nipples through it.

Crying while rubbing her nipples against a man's abs. Sophia really was a lewd little goddess. Naturally, my cock went rock-hard.

Overcoming even the pressure of my underwear, my dick stretched out and poked Sophia. The tear ducts that had been working so hard suddenly shut down.

"Yohan?"

"A natural physiological response."

"So it has come to this after all? This lady knew it would turn out thus."

"Haa..."

Cheonsol stepped back, and Sophia slipped free of my arms. She wiped the dew from the corners of her eyes with a finger and smiled in disbelief.

"Yohan really is so Yohan. Too much Yohan."

"That's a compliment, right?"

"As if it could be."

—Doesn't look like a compliment to me either.

—Never thought I'd live to see the day my opinion matched a slave's.

The only people I could trust were my daughters. I looked at Lan-lan-i and Evni — one spoke cheerfully, the other shyly.

"Mad Demon's just Mad Demon!"

"Compliment..."

The only one I could trust here was Evni. Even Lan-lan-i had betrayed me. Lulu was bobbing her head enthusiastically, but she was too hard to interpret, so I decided to ignore that.

"Anyway, thank you so much. Honestly, besides becoming the greatest trainer in the universe, having my own divine statue was always a dream of mine."

"So that's why you asked for a statue in the center of the fountain."

"Mm-hm. And you made it even better than I expected."

This time, Sophia pulled me into her arms. Coming back for a second hug after we'd already separated once — I was pretty sure this was the first time since she'd given me a blowjob.

Our goddess had ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠come to like me that much. This time, it wasn't just my lower half that was pounding — my heart was racing too.

"Thank you. Now that I have a divine statue, and my first believer, faith will start spreading on Earth too."

"Huh?"

"Pardon?"

—???

Not just me and Cheonsol — even the spirits had question marks floating over their heads. So until now, Sophia had no faith on Earth at all?

Well, sure — until I became her minion, I hadn't even known a goddess named Sophia existed. Greek and Roman mythology, Norse mythology, Egyptian, the whole lot — people had scraped together every random god imaginable to make game characters, and Sophia was nowhere among them.

—Does that even make sense? A goddess with no believers on her own planet, and her divinity is this strong? No, that can't be right. If she had no believers, I never would have ended up in this situation...

—I don't want to agree with you, but yeah, that doesn't make sense. An undefeated goddess with no believers, commanding minions this exceptional... it's just too weird.

I couldn't understand Lirota's muttering. Why not? It could happen, you idiot.

"Earth has a higher average population than other planets, and since there are no other gods besides me, all the faith gets converted into mine. Because it wasn't directed at me specifically, the divinity acquisition rate took a big cut — but the power still came through as-is."

—Okay, that tracks.

Krista nodded in understanding. I was a little worried, though.

"Doesn't that mean you've gotten weaker?"

"No. The faith dedicated to me is being added on top of the existing faith, so I've gotten even stronger. And more importantly — there's a chance my specialization fields will expand! What do you think Earth's believers will see me as? You're my first believer, Yohan, so take a guess!"

Goddess of Massive Tits. Goddess of Lewdness. Goddess of No-Bra No-Panties Exhibitionism. The words rose all the way to the tip of my tongue, but I barely managed to hold them back.

People grow. Thanks to Cheonsol and Sophia's continuous violence, I'd learned to distinguish between things you say and things you don't.

"Obviously the Goddess of Beauty. In my entire life, I've never seen a goddess more beautiful than you, Sophia."

Cheonsol suddenly jabbed me in the side. She whispered so the blissfully happy Sophia wouldn't hear.

"Among Vampirs, Cheonsol is the most beautiful."

"Most beautiful, you say — yet you have scarcely seen any others."

"I'm sure Cheonsol is the most beautiful. You were a cult leader, after all."

"Hah. You truly are terrible at compliments."

She grumbled, but Cheonsol looked pleased too.

"Anyway, thank you so much! Thank you, Yohan! And Evni helped too, right?"

"Mm..."

"Thank you so much, Evni!"

Sophia pulled Evni into a hug. Buried between those breasts, Evni flailed.

"Can't... breathe..."

"Oh no, did I smother you? Sorry."

"Haaah..."

Freed, Evni latched onto me immediately. Nothing calms a startled child like her father's chest.

Holding the tiny, trembling half-elf in my arms, I felt a happiness almost equal to when Sophia had hugged me.

"The goddess statue is so well made too! The feet are perfect, the ankles, the folds of the clothes...?"

Sophia's gaze, sweeping upward from the bottom, locked dead center on the chest and refused to move. With a trembling finger, she pointed at the nipples.

"W-what is that?"

"Your fingers are really pretty too, Sophia."

"No — what is that?! Why are they sticking out?!"

Before Sophia could even get properly angry, Lan-lan-i shouted.

"They're just like Master's!"

"Huh?"

—Ahem! Ahem!

Lirota, who had contributed to recreating Sophia's chest, could only clear its throat without a word. Sophia's face crumpled with an entirely different emotion than before.

"Am I... really like that?"

"Yep!"

"Mm..."

Hearing the kids' honest answers, Sophia flushed red and covered her chest. Did our goddess realize that covering her breasts with those thin arms only made her look even more erotic?

She didn't, which is why she was doing it. Next time I made a statue of Sophia, I'd have to use this pose as reference.

The piece would be titled Bashful Goddess. Or maybe Goddess Showing Off Her Chest.

"Uugh..."

Oh no. Our pure-hearted kids had hit the goddess with pure fact violence, and she'd lost all her energy. As her first minion and first believer, it was my job to lift her spirits.

"Now that I've awakened divine power, I'd like to learn how to use it. Would you, as a ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠goddess and expert in handling divinity, be willing to teach me?"

Sophia's head snapped up. If she'd had a tail, it would have been wagging furiously.

"Of course! Leave it to me!"

Catching on, Cheonsol and the spirits piled on.

"Divinity is best learned from a goddess. Mad Demon has made a rare and commendable decision."

—Mm-hm. She's strong enough that I ended up her slave, so of course you should learn divine power techniques from her.

—That's right, that's right.

Basking in the praise of her minion and spirits, Sophia's shoulders rose all the way to the heavens. Cheonsol quickly scooped up the kids and covered their mouths.

"Mmph! Mmmph!"

"Mmph..."

"Hush now. Be quiet."

What a heartwarming scene.

Unfortunately, the divine power lessons took place in the garden. Lan-lan-i, who possessed the Blood Seed talent, and Evni, who had spirit affinity, had virtually no chance of awakening divine power — but Cheonsol argued that since she herself had cultivated internal energy and thus couldn't awaken it either, they might still need to face holy knights or priests someday.

"Besides Yohan, Lan-lan-i and Evni have the Self-Healing skill too, right?"

"Yep!"

"Mm..."

"Healing skills like Self-Healing are the most representative way of using divine power. But there's also a method for reinforcing the body. I'll teach you, so let's have Yohan — our skilled instructor — give it a try!"

"I'm the only one who can do it anyway."

Sophia ignored me.

"Here's how you do it..."

Following Sophia's instruction, I moved my divine power. A warm energy rose from the crown of my head, circulated through my entire body, and gathered in my lower abdomen.

"...And that is the holy magic of physical reinforcement. How does it feel?"

"I can see why they call it holy magic."

I had a full erection. So that's why it was called holy () magic. This was going to be useful when I used Impregnating.
