"Are you certain this is how you want to go about it? It doesn't seem like it'll work that well~!"
"Moriartra... shut up before I make you."
The Goddess of Murder just grinned at me before dragging herself off of the quivering, barely conscious body of Reincantra, her usage of the Goddess finally over after yet another deal was made... for something completely different.
"You're just jealous I got to bang Reincantra again~! Fuck... Now I want Freyishtra again..."
Clicking her tongue and flopping down on the giant bed, she let out a little sigh before snatching the mirror from me, allowing her to watch the fight unfold for a few moments before I just threw a pillow at her.
Taking it back, I caught Rhefia swinging her spear again, the coiling threads of mana amplifying her strength yet again... but it wasn't being used the right way, or at least in the way she knew it should be used.
"Your idiot is drawing the fight out. Why is she doing that?"
"I don't know... hopeful for a challenge, perhaps? Or maybe she's... ah, she's trying to get answers. Did you give anything to this 'Altan'?"
"Kinda? I think... she might've been the one asking for strength now in return for something later; it was too good of a deal to pass up, y'know? She's so damn stupid yet those are the ones who get things done... and she did kill that one 'champion'."
"How do you not know who you bless?"
I glared at the childish yet powerful Goddess behind me, earning a smirk as she shrugged her shoulders before saying "Most likely she caught me while I was in the middle of something... That could've been when I was using Lilitia, or maybe it was when I was in the mortal world partaking in that sacrifice..."
Humming softly and stroking herself, the usually energetic Goddess was rather laid back after hours - maybe days, actually - of fucking Reincantra, and honestly a part of me was tempted to reach over and punch her now just because I could.
Yet so much time with Serenata had mellowed me enough to know I didn't need to do that, and if anything I was just going to vent using my wife some more later on; for now though I was watching that fight between my current fascination and this beefed up Bearkin.
"You aren't actively bolstering her, are you?"
"I wasn't but I sure as shit am now~! Thanks for that reminder~!"
The way Moriartra perked up at that made me snarl, though that did nothing as she just snapped her fingers and grinned at me, dragging Reincantra onto her lap and using her as a shield since she could tell I was very close to lashing out.
"You are such a-"
"Hey! Children are present, dumbass!"
Pointing towards the peeking purple haired Goddess, I ground my teeth and encased us in a dome of divine energy, making sure her 'innocent' eyes weren't ruined by Moriartra and also giving me the ability to lunge over and smack the Goddess of Murder before she could react.
What ensued was a minor spar that eventually ended with us hilted inside of Reincantra, the Goddess of Stories awakening to our fight and placating us with her ravenous holes, causing us to call a temporary truce as we wrenched her pussy wide open and double stuffed it, impregnating her together.
All the while I kept a bit of an eye on what was happening, and I felt a bit concerned about the other mortals I could sense watching the same thing I was, yet at the same time I also wasn't willing to intervene just yet...

"C'mon Boss, let's just step in now and get 'em both! A two for one special! We're never gonna get a chance like this again!"
Rolling my eyes and idly running my hand over the scimitar in my lap, I watched the fight from far away and murmured "I don't know... that Deerkin isn't an easy one, I can tell you that now. Remember, we know little about Astra, but I know for damn sure I don't want to face her head on. This Deerkin? That's Astra's wife, and currently the favorite futanari in her life. She isn't going to be simple..."
"And? We aren't simple either, Boss! We got blessings too! Multiple blessings, from high ranking Goddesses! We even have-"
"Quiet."
My subordinate clicked her tongue and bounced to a taller branch, getting a better view before looking back down at me to ask "Can we at least swoop in and nab that Bearkin then? She reeks of a few different Goddesses, none of which are that strong... besides Goddess Moriartra, of course."
"Maybe. Revealing ourselves now wouldn't be that smart... If Rhefia even gets a glimpse of me, she might say something to Astra, and that'll ruin a few things for me. We have to think long term here, alright?"
She grumbled at that, but thankfully she wasn't as stupid as she once was; still, I had to admit that leaving the Bearkin to be wasted like that was making my heart bleed a little, and as someone who has been so focused on maximizing reward while minimizing risk, this was a big reward just sitting there...
"At the very least we're going to get her corpse. It won't be fresh, it won't be as potent, but it'll still be something. Those bones should do us well, and the flesh will make a nice offering. Hopefully Rhefia doesn't try to dismember or break this Bearkin..."
"I think she might; she's an Earth Mage, isn't she? That's like... their whole shtick; a bunch of unimaginative one trick's who always wanna bury someone beneath the earth, crushing them in the process..."
"You still cannot get over that, can you?"
The banter as we watched the fight was nice, acting as a break from the usual seriousness we needed to exude in front of everyone else, and it felt nice to just be... me; the last time I had been just me... well...
I had been me for a different reason~!
