Reincarnated as a step-dad in a fantasy world

Chapter 287 : Revelations (3)

"You once said that the goddess of light hated you. Why is that, and should I be worried about the members of the church of light?" Alex questioned.

The goddess didn't reply to most questions regarding herself or other gods, so he wasn't certain that she would answer this question, but surprisingly, she did.

"I have to say, I didn't expect that question," the goddess chuckled before she added, "I don't think that old hag would instruct her prim and proper followers to chase you, if that's what you are worried about."

Hearing that, Alex released a sigh of relief. He was already worried about the fact that powerful organizations with almighty members were already chasing after him; he didn't want to also worry about the church of light.

A sudden chuckle resounded in the darkness as the goddess of lust laughed, her voice so melodic and alluring that Alex had to do his best to not fall into a daze once again. "The story about why the old hag hates my guts is actually quite funny."

Alex didn't know what had happened, but he was willing to bet his life that what she qualified as 'funny' wouldn't be seen the same way by the goddess of light.

"Once upon a time, way before your empire had been created, Imperion was filled with demons and other dark creatures. Those demons did absolutely what they wanted, from killing, raping, and other forms of life, they did everything they wanted. That was until the old hag made the high priest of her church at that time her 'holy son,'" the goddess said in a reminiscing tone.

"Before becoming the holy son, the high priest was already a pious man who never hesitated to fly to people's rescue, even when he knew he might lose his life. Thus, when he obtained the strength conferred to him by the old hag, his first endeavor was to completely wipe out the continent of demons and demonic creatures," she said with a chuckle.

"What, you helped the demons and that is the reason the goddess hates you?" Alex inquired.

"Nope, I actually didn't do that," she laughed even harder. "At that moment, I did absolutely nothing," she explained.

"After he had set himself this goal, he rallied all the people from the church of light and went to war against the demons. Roughly five years later, he had won the war and made the demons flee from Imperion. After the war ended, the people of the continent enjoyed a relative peace. However, the holy son hadn't finished."

"He began to preach the goodwill of the old hag and denouncing several practices that local people enjoyed. All was fine until that fool decided to preach, telling people to distance themselves from lustful acts, that the pleasure of the flesh was sinful, that it was a path to damnation and that those who indulged in it were unworthy of the old hag's blessings."

"That was when I decided to teach that high priest a little lesson. Nothing too much, I just wanted to give him an idea of what the pleasure of the flesh he so preached people to not indulge themselves into felt. I thus started whispering some words to his ears, making sure to not let the old hag catch me," the goddess explained.

She chuckled evilly and continued, "Slowly, bit by bit, his attitude began to change. The preaches to denounce the pleasure of the flesh stopped, and the priest himself began to indulge in that pleasure. He began to regularly visit some of the local brothels and fuck every prostitute that caught his eye. That damned man actually had a lot of stamina due to his status as holy son, so he wasn't tired after having sex with just one prostitute. Thus, after a while, he began to have sex with several women at the same time."

As the goddess continued to speak, a mocking smile slowly began to creep onto Alex's face. He was finding the thought that a prim and proper priest suddenly drowning in depravity very funny. In the first place, even before he had gained the lust artifact, he hated hypocrites, so he was finding the goddess's story entertaining.

"The old hag obviously caught on to what was happening, but for whatever reason, she didn't stop him. Perhaps she was confident that he would pull himself together, but it was her mistake. Under my persistent whispering, her holy son just kept sinking into depravity," at that point, the goddess of lust let out a heartfelt laughter, clearly proud of her deed.

"After a while, rumors of the holy son of the church of light visiting brothels began to spread around, decreasing the popularity that the members of the church enjoyed as people insulted them for hypocrisy. Seeing that, the holy son, despite my suggestion, actually stopped visiting the brothels."

An especially dark chuckle resounded in the darkness, sending shivers down Alex's spine as the goddess continued.

"Something even I hadn't anticipated was that this action would make him fall into deeper degeneracy. As he had already tasted the pleasure of the flesh, the priest couldn't hold himself back, and since he couldn't go back to the brothel for fear of exacerbating the rumors, his lust got directed to the only women in his line of sight: the nuns."

"Imagine how pleasantly surprised I was when I saw him approach one of the nuns," the goddess chuckled in pure delight. "That poor naive girl saw nothing coming, and before she knew it, he was pinning her against his bed as he pounded her."

"As with the prostitutes, he couldn't be satisfied with just one woman, and thus, slowly but surely, all the nuns of the church began to visit him at night."

At that point in the history, the goddess released a depraved moan of pleasure. Alex couldn't see her face right now, but he was certain that if he could, he would probably see the most obscene expression on the goddess's face. It was as if she was getting a kick by retelling that story.

"Ahh, if only you could witness it," the goddess sighed in ecstasy. "The high priest and holy son of the church and several of the usually saintly nuns embracing and fornicating from night to morning."

The goddess sighed once again, "That man surely had potential and would have probably made a very excellent champion. Unfortunately, just as I began considering that, he, along with the nuns, were caught in an orgy by several of their followers after they missed their weekly preach. It wasn't long before the information was spread across the whole continent, and the influence of the church of light was dragged into the mud."

"At that point, the old hag was livid. Since the church of light was tied to her, the goddess of light, her reputation was also dragged into the mud by the actions of the holy son and nuns. Yet, she still decided to give the high priest one last chance. I don't know why, but the old hag really appreciated that man."

"What she hadn't understood at that time though was that her holy son was past the point of caring. He continued to fornicate with the nuns for several weeks later until that fool had an epiphany."

The goddess of lust sighed wearily and said, "That fool stopped fucking with other women as he realized that they no longer were enough. He wanted more. It was at that moment that he came to 'understand' that the person he liked more than even his life and with whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life was none other than the old hag. However, he also understood that he would never be able to be with her in that sort of way, thus he had to find other ways to be with her physically."

"Don't tell me..." Alex trailed off as he had a wild suspicion of what happened.

"You guessed right," the goddess of lust chuckled. "That fool brought down the human-sized statue of the old hag, made a nice hole around where he thought her asshole should have been, lubed it up, and was preparing himself to fuck the old hag statue when he was smithereens with a bolt of light by the very one whose statue he was about to fuck."

"Oh my god.... HAHAHAHA," Alex exploded in laughter as he heard the most what-the-fuck story he had ever heard in his two lives! It was so hilarious that he practically curled himself into a ball, tears streaming down his eyes as he laughed uncontrollably.

A second later, the goddess also joined him, and the two of them laughed so hard that the echoes of their voices filled the darkness around them.
