Diana said softly, her face covered in Sterl's bodily fluids, but she had a holy glow.
Then she pointed to Sterl's genitals.
Sterl was stunned by the look, and before he could react, Diana moved closer to his penis and opened her mouth to lick the residue.
After the extreme crazy output, this gentle feeling is to let Sterl have a feeling of awakening.
After she had swallowed all the remnants of Sterl's behemoth, she cast a spell that cleaned the dust and various stains from both bodies.
"You've worked hard. Rest here for a while, I'll step out for a bit."
Sterl gently stroked Diana's face. He had to admit that his previous actions towards Diana were driven by a clear purpose. His main goal was to lower the guard of the gods of the Orichalcum Kingdom, eliminating any doubts they had about him. On top of that, he had wanted to experience what it was like to be with a goddess, and perhaps gain another divine-level ally.
But now, Diana's response had stirred something within him.
"I really am too soft-hearted," he thought to himself. Since that was the case, he would find a way to protect this goddess who looked at him with such devotion during the war.
After all, for someone like him now, taking a goddess wasn't that hard. All he needed to do was help Orichalcum win a small victory first, then break the contract between Diana and the Orichalcum Kingdom. This way, even if he eventually came to terms with Orichalcum, Diana wouldn't suffer because of the contract.
As for whether Diana would choose to follow him and turn against Orichalcum, he couldn't be sure.
She was the first goddess he had ever conquered without using the deputy star or the blood of the Ancient One—just his personal charm and methods!
Because he hadn't used such coercive means as the deputy star, the decision was entirely in Diana's hands. It all depended on how much of a place he had in her heart.
"Go ahead."
Diana spoke softly. She was truly exhausted, though not physically. Her body was almost at its limit, but the recovery ability of a goddess was incredibly strong—she would be fine in half a day. The exhaustion she felt was emotional.
For a goddess who hadn't even held hands with the opposite sex for hundreds, even thousands of years, being so suddenly and intensely violated had taken a toll. It would take time for her to recover. On top of that, Sterl had been so forceful that he had nearly pushed her to the brink of collapse, almost making her lose consciousness.
Sterl shared the key's access privileges with Diana, allowing her to come and go freely. He then activated the key and left his private space.
Diana watched Sterl's departing figure, lost in thought. As she recalled his domineering and rough actions from earlier, along with the strong scent of him that filled the air, it kept echoing in her mind, stirring an inexplicable feeling within her.
As a goddess, she had always been worshipped from afar by countless mortals, never daring to be offended. But now, after being so humiliated by this man, she unexpectedly felt a strange pleasure deep within her, a sensation that bordered on fascination.
Thinking of this, a look of shame and anger appeared on her face.
"How can I think like this? Diana, you are The God of Archery and the Swamp! You are a goddess of the Orichalcum Kingdom!"
She shouted in her mind, yet deep down, she couldn't help but recall the sensation she had just experienced.
[Reminder: You are now under the surveillance of the Royal Castle. Do not forcibly take unexchanged items, or you will face punishment from the Royal Castle]
A willful presence seemed to envelop him. It was clear this was the will of the Royal Castle. The Royal Castle of the Orichalcum Kingdom itself was a force comparable to a powerful Divine Power-level entity—this was a power even more terrifying than high-level divine authorities!
Although he wasn't sure what the punishment entailed, Sterl had no desire to find out.
He then browsed through the Contribution Store, but quickly lost interest in exchanging anything.
As he had suspected, 30,000 contribution points were quite a lot. Even a piece of mythic-level equipment only cost about 1,000 to 2,000 points, at most 3,000 or 4,000.
This meant that with his current stock of contribution points, he could easily assemble a full set of mythic-level equipment!
However, the truly valuable items in the vault far surpassed anything in the mythic-tier equipment category. But those items were all extremely expensive. Even with his current reserve of contribution points, he found himself hesitant to make a purchase.
