“It won’t be easy to go against all factions, but how do I become your saint?” Asdel asked.

“I don’t have much, but I will give you my remaining divine power. We just need to get intimate with our body.” Mahala squeezed his cheeks between her hands and swathered his mouth with a drooly kiss.

“Make sure you satisfy my pussy.” She snapped her fingers and spawned a bed behind Asdel.

“Woah! Where did it come from?” Asdel got pushed down and fell on the soft mattress. There were magic circles and candles glowing around them in preparation for rituals.

“Amaranth and I can summon imaginary materials in this space, but I advise against eating imaginary food.” She glanced at Amaranth’s stockpile of food. “Not that you need it anytime soon.”

“Wait, are we doing this in front of everyone?” Asdel asked.

Viola, Tomoyo, and Amaranth were sitting on the side, sipping tea while watching the show.

Mahala took off Asdel’s clothes. “Leave the other girls aside for now. They should watch and learn.”

She cradled Asdel, watching him suck her breast while her fingers brushed against his dick. She almost teared up. “I’ve been waiting to break out for an eternity. It’s all thanks to the absurdly high level aberration corpse you fed to Amaranth that I could bring my soul over.”

’What a strange milk!’ Asdel felt energized from sucking her breasts. His balls had never felt so heavy and his erect penis felt sore as if it was about to burst from the sheer internal pressure. If Mahala wasn’t already naked, he would probably start to tear down her clothes.

Mahala nodded at the sight of his raging boner. Her meal was ready.

She spread her labia and slowly sat down on Asdel’s crotch when his dick was hard enough. It slipped right inside her. Her mind froze for a moment as she fully tasted the sensory pleasure. She bit her lips as she slowly grinded her hips.

Her soft and plump ass bounced on Asdel, as she abandoned herself to pleasure.

She brought her face close enough to feel his breath, and kissed him while she bounced on him.

"Hmmm!" Her tongue licked and rolled inside his mouth. A trickle of drool linked their lips after she exchanged a mouthful of saliva with him.

Asdel wasn't one to take it completely passively. He grabbed her huge chest and squeezed her milk all over the bed.

"Ah, naughty boy. Come inside me, my pussy is wide open." She leaned back, puffing her chest out of his reach to tease him.

Asdel was in heaven, crushed by her delicious soft thighs and drowning under her leaking pussy. He groaned like a caveman, losing his sanity from the forbidden taste of a goddess’ flesh. It took everything to keep a shred of consciousness while an orgasm struck him with an intensity he had never experienced before.

As they melded together in body and soul, a mysterious feeling surged through Asdel's soul. Sex no longer exhausted him. In fact, each stroke filled him with power. Time passed in a blur as they got entangled in a frenzied dance.

"Aaah, fill my womb!" Mahala tightly pressed her crotch against his hips, occasionally twitching in pleasure.

[Achievement: You became the partner of the Goddess of Life and Fertility and impregnated her. You obtained the class ‘Saint of Allmother’...]

A strange seal appeared over her womb.

At the height of pleasure, she collapsed on her back and panted heavily to catch her breath.

Mahala's halo, horns, and wings faded. Her hair changed to a duller black color. Her disheveled appearance bore no trace of her previous divinity.

Asdel’s dick slid out, leaving Mahala’s hole open and gushing with semen.

He was a bit confused how his body could impregnate at its age, but he guessed that the goddess must have buffed him somehow.

[‘Mahala’ has taught you the expertise ‘Breeding’. Effect: You can conceive progeny of any living species, not limited to animals and plants.]

"Mahala?! Are you alright?" He asked with concern.

"Yes… I think?" She inspected her hands, her horns, and her black wings after regaining her senses. Her incredulous expression made her look lost and incomparably weaker than her goddess' self.

Viola gasped. “Asdel, you’ve got a halo floating above your head!”

“Huh?! How do I deactivate it?” Asdel didn’t want that crap floating around and making a target out of himself. Thankfully, it disappeared according to his will.

A sound coming from the prison startled them.

"Amaranth, escape through the window!" Viola suggested.

"No, we'll be forever criminals. I need to step out to clear our names." Asdel pulled up his sticky pants and left the inventory in a hurry to welcome the guard and complain about his missing hand.

…

…

Few days later, in the prison cell…

A healer prayed for Asdel's recovery to no avail.

The boy sat on the wooden bed with a bored expression, when a commotion rose in the prison corridor and interrupted the healer.

"Asdel!!" Luciella stormed in the cell, her face distorted in grief and rage. She pushed the wardens and healer aside to get closer.

She froze at the sight of his amputated hand, then hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry! If I had known… Where is the bastard who did that to you?"

"It was the duke-bishop's son, Khaine. But he took Viola and my slave away. I heard him saying he was going to rape them," Asdel said with an innocent and worried tone, smearing dirt on the dead bastard's name.

Luciella screamed at the wardens. "How could you let that happen? Arrest Khaine's men and interrogate them. Go!"

The law enforcers hesitated a bit before scattering at full speed.

Luciella spoke in a hushed tone even though everyone left. "Asdel, I will send you to Rigard Liberation training camp for your safety."

"What?! No, I want to see Loreley!"

"Loreley is stuck in the war. Sanctuary recently attacked and cut the supply line and the way back. She is embroiled in a three way conflict and is too busy saving the army to return anytime soon." Luciella sighed.

"I should go save her then." Asdel wanted to get up but she pressed him down.

"Leave that to me. Instead, listen and never speak about this to anyone. In a couple of years, Inferno and the liberation group will sweep Rigard and turn everything into ashes. You'll be safer on their side." Luciella's revelation struck down Asdel's mood.

Whatever he was doing in Eplit was pointless if it was swept in the war. Loreley's victory and defeat didn't matter either because they wouldn't be able to face Inferno so soon after their exhausting invasion on the North.

He rubbed his temples and considered his options.

In this period of uncertainty, the best strategy available was to create connections on every side instead of putting all eggs in one basket. Then, he could migrate all his assets to the winning camp.

The Skylander family was his foothold in the Congregation. The Tailbrush clan was his access to Sanctuary. And Asdel himself would worm his way into Inferno, so that everyone could join him if they were as much of a threat as Luciella said.

'Yeah, that's the best approach I can think of.'

His mood sank, because Inferno was cruel and disturbing. Still, he would rather go himself than send the girls there.

"I understand, I will join the Liberation. I'll look for your daughter too." Asdel nodded.

Luciella made a pained smile. "Please don't. Just stay safe…"
