''So basically, I'll have to travel across the continent from now on.'' I said. ''Liana and Emy I know will, but do the two of you want to come with me?''

''Of course!''

''I don't see why I have to stay here.''

''Don't you still have some time left in the academy, Tina?''

''I can just ask for the diploma right away, I'm overqualified anyway.'' She shrugged.

''How about you, Anna?''

''Um... I think going with you might be more beneficial to me, actually.''

''How so?''

''I... I want to be with you.'' She blushes, but still looks at my face.

That is so sweet. I love her.

''And also... I feel like my divine magic has been improving a lot lately.'' She creates a small orb of divine magic. ''Especially... When I touch you...'' She trailed off.

Wait, what?

''What do you mean exactly?'' Liana inquired.

''...Remember the last time Sylvia let me touch her chest in the hot spring? My divine mana went up after that, but I thought I was imagining it...'' She explained. ''So after I actually had s-sex with her, I suddenly realized it. My divine magic gets better when I do intimate acts with Sylvia...''

'''' ... ''''

What the hell.

[Hanako]: Hey. Is it true that when believers sleep with me, their divine magic gets better?

[Xx-DarkLordOfTheFlame-xX]: There is no such thing though?

[Hanako]: ...My cat got her divine mana enhanced after sleeping with me.

[Xx-DarkLordOfTheFlame-xX]: Really?!

[Hanako]: Yeah.

[Xx-DarkLordOfTheFlame-xX]: Wait for a second. I will be there soon.

[Hanako]: Huh?

''Um...'' I gather the attention. ''We might have a guest soon.''

''Who?'' Tina tilts her head.

'''' !!! ''''

Before I could answer, a portal appeared on the table.

Different from normal black portals of mine or Stephen's, it is golden while. And this feeling is definitely not the usual mana.

From the portal, a familiar figure steps out.

Standing on the table now is an outrageously beautiful woman with silky smooth white hair and blood-red eyes.

''It is you?'' Eva turns to Anna, her voice still as charming as I remembered it.

''Eh?! W-Who are you??'' Anna exclaimed.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Eva kneels on the table and puts her hand on Anna's head, ignoring our confused looks.

'''' ... ''''

Liana, Emy, and Tina all try to pull out their weapons, but I signal them to stop just before they actually do something to Eva.

This is actually the first time I've seen Eva while in a physical body, and I get why she's a goddess now. There's just this overwhelming feeling I could feel from her, it's like an oppressive aura in certain video games, almost.

''I cannot believe it...'' Eva muttered, standing up again. ''You have found a gem, Hanako!'' She turns to me this time.

''How so?'' I asked.

''This girl, she has the potential to become a goddess!''

'''' ... ''''

Eh?

''Elaborate, please.'' I said.

Suddenly, Eva appears in front of me, sitting on the edge of the table, her feet resting on my thighs.

''Listen, Hanako.'' She raises her index finger before my face. ''Deities use 'real' divine mana instead of any ordinary mana. And you, my apostle, also have it in your body.''

''Divine mana that believers use is just an inferior version of the real divine mana. And make no mistake, they are fundamentally different.''

''The real one can be used to charge the inferior one, but not vice versa.''

She then turns to Anna on my right.

''The fact that this girl can absorb the real divine mana from your body and change it into normal divine mana... Means that she should be able to ascend to godhood.''

''M-Me...?'' Anna points at herself and still seems stunned.

''Could I too, then? I have real divine mana as well, no?'' I asked.

''Yes, you could. Every Saint could. But no one has ever done it.'' She replied. ''One has to go through many trials and tribulations to reach godhood.''

As expected.

''But the fact that she could accept real divine mana is incredible enough.'' Eva smiles. ''None of you Saints wanted to become a deity to help me, so now I have to scout rare talents like this.'' She pokes my belly with her feet, her voice a bit sulky.

''...M-Mother goddess...?'' Anna finally snaps out. calling Eva shakily.

''Yes. I am known as the goddess on this continent.'' Eva turns to Anna again. ''Anastasia. Do you have any interest in becoming a deity?''

''Eh? I...''

'''' ... ''''

Anna closes her eyes and sits still.

'''' ... ''''

''O-Only if they become deities, too!'' She looks at Eva straight in the eyes, her blue irises shine brighter than stars.

Eva looks around the table.

''Did you hear that? How about all of you become deities to help me? Though very difficult, I could help with the qualifications for that.''

'''' ... ''''

''...Are the trials and tribulations dangerous?'' Liana asked.

''Yes. They are life-threatening.''

''How long would it take?'' Emy asked.

''Depends on you. It can be a year, ten years, or a hundred years, or even more.''

''What would we actually gain from it, aside from power?'' Tina asked this time.

''Unlimited lifespan, access to other worlds, and best of all, for you degenerates, there will be many plays that you can do after ascending to godhood as well.''

''...For example?''

''Firstly, you can modify your body as you like, that opens up a lot of new plays already. On top of that, you have a time-stop play, hypnotism, increased sensitivity, humiliation play, etc.''

Fuck, I'm honestly kinda sold on this. And I can go back to Earth too... But first.

''How much work will we need to do, then?'' I asked.

''...If all of you are in, then not much.'' Eva responded, slightly diverting her eyes.

Sussy goddess...

'''' ... ''''

''Think about it more, you all have a lot of time.'' Eva shrugged. ''I will plant divine seeds, similar to what I gave Hanako, onto the three of you first. No worries, they do not have any side effects.''

Three light orb thingies suddenly appear near Emy, Liana, and Tina's chests, then gradually go into their bodies.

''So then, continue your journey. I will await your answers whenever you are ready.''

Eva blinks again, now standing on the table.

*snap*

She opens another portal with a flick, and then lightly steps inside.

'''' ... ''''

''T-That was the goddess herself!!!'' Anna squirms, her hand clutching her cheeks.

''I didn't think I would be able to see the goddess...'' Tina muttered.

Everybody else seems stunned as well. That's what seeing a goddess would do to the average person, I suppose.

''...Well, I guess we can leave that for much later.'' I said after a sigh. ''Now then, because we have no news about the evil goddess's attack yet, we have a little vacation of sorts.''

''What do you say we do, then?'' Tina asked.

''Dates.'' I replied. ''I want to spend a day alone with each of you.'' I smile at them as well.

''...I'm in on that.'' Tina responded almost immediately.

''Of course, that includes sex as well. You will have me all for yourself for one day. It doesn't matter what you want to do to me, I will go along with it.'' I explained further.

''I'm in.'' Liana grins devilishly.

She wants to test out all those BDSM gears, huh.

''How about you two?'' I turn to the remaining two this time.

''I'm fine with it.''

''Me too.''

''That's decided, then. We'll start right tomorrow, alright?'' I smile contently. ''But you guys still have to fight today.''

'''' Eh~ ''''

No gangbang yet.
