## Chapter 1338 – Aftermath

The meeting proceeded smoothly.

It was an extremely satisfying meeting. My decision, akin to a command, would allow those who lost their homes to the demons to live again. I was, in effect, benefiting the world—a fusion-Confucian style of salvation.

“…”

As I became aware of it, a hot energy seemed to surge from the depths of my heart… Yes. The spirit of benefiting humanity must be something like this.

This Cheonma Kim Katte will benefit this world.

Anyway, all the agendas flowed in a way that pleased me, and soon it was break time.

“Hero!”
“Oh, Hero!!”
“Hmm?”

I was about to go out with Kadia for a short break, but I saw nobles approaching like a flock of ducks outside the meeting room door.

I wondered if they had something to discuss with me, so I told them to calm down.

“Calm down. Calm down. What’s going on that you’re making such a fuss?”
“Yes! Hero!”
“I heard you landed a fortress in the central region!”
“Oh, right.”

The nobles cheered at my words.

Why?

“My land is there, and I will offer it to you!”
“If you need a large amount of food, please be sure to find me!”
“I pledge my allegiance to you, Hero!”

These guys were here to get in good with me.

“Hmm… So you’re all saying you’ll offer everything to me.”
“That’s right!”

Nobles who had brought various rights and land documents were trying to offer them to me, making a fuss to show their loyalty and faith.

It was something that made me nod my head on its own.

At this moment, when I, the one who wiped out the demons, hold all the rules and hegemony of this world, it’s only natural that they would want to offer their wealth and pledge allegiance before anyone else.

Whatever the reason, if they show me a positive impression, they can only benefit.

“Please give us the blessing of the Hero!”
“Oh, demigod adorned with the blessings of all gods!”

There were nobles who knew this fact and groups of nobles who were completely fascinated by me, the Hero. I’m not one to look down on those who willingly bow their heads to pledge allegiance like this.

“Hehehe, yes. I cherish your hearts.”

ㅡChwaaak.

Unleashing my power, I sprinkled my energy on the nobles who wanted my blessing. The nobles exposed to the white energy spreading from my hands rejoiced as if they had received a real blessing.

“Uooooh!!”
“Ooooh! Oooooh! This is the power of God!!!”
“Long live the Hero!!!”

It’s an era where gods actually exist. Receiving the blessing of a hero like me has tremendous value. Of course, it’s not a real blessing, but it’s good if they believe it.

Above all, I heard that there are quite a few who regard me as a god.

“But I have a lot to do right now, so let’s make time later to have a meeting.”
“Understood!”

After promising a future date with appropriate words, I shook off the nobles and looked for Kadia. Kadia was talking with female nobles.

If it’s not important, I should take her away.

“Kadia. Do you have anything important to talk about with the nobles?”
“No. Not right now…”

She doesn’t?

“Then let’s take a break together.”
“Ah, aah!”

I immediately grabbed Kadia’s wrist and led her away.

Around the conference hall of this royal palace, there were several rooms prepared for enjoying breaks or having private conversations. After receiving a key from a nearby servant, I entered a suitable room with Kadia.

“Let’s rest a bit. The meeting was intense.”
“Haa.”

Kadia, who came into the room, lightly took off her saint’s veil and coat with a very cool attitude, then took out a cigarette, put it in her mouth, and plopped down on the sofa.

ㅡWhoosh.

Then, after blowing out smoke once, she said.

“Now, the Karga Kingdom can no longer be called a great power. The land given to Paladin is quite large. They handed over almost the entire central region… This is huge.”

Kadia, who said that, looked at me with a smirk.

She had a very satisfied face.

“The Karga royal family is treating Paladin very well.”
“Yeah. I didn’t know they would do this much.”

The Karga Kingdom seemed to have set its national policy to fully cooperate with me. It was a bold and quick decision that could only be called smart. It must have been difficult for a person in power to give up so much of it.

“But with that, they gained my favor.”
“The favor of an absolute superhuman… Heh.”

The smile didn’t leave Kadia’s face.

“Indeed. In the newly born world. There seems to be no right greater than that.”
“That’s right. The Karga Kingdom may have given me some land, but they gained more than that.”
“The royal family made an extremely wise decision.”

I went to Kadia’s side and sat down.

“But Kadia? What’s the situation in other countries?”
“I heard it’s not good. Paladin also dealt with airships that appeared in foreign countries, but there’s still an absolute distance. It seems to be no less than the Karga Kingdom.”

Hmm.

“I heard that the demon landing forces were rampaging even more.”
“That’s a bit unfortunate.”

The demons were said to have tracked the signal of Dor, which was sent from the Karga Kingdom region. Of course, I was here. Even though they invaded this land, they couldn’t carry out extreme destruction.

The situation seemed worse in foreign countries.

“No matter how much I can do, I can’t solve everything.”
“It’s not Paladin’s fault. There’s no need to worry.”

ㅡFlick.

Kadia, who threw her cigarette into the ashtray, started massaging my neck and shoulders. She almost habitually tries to touch my body.

“Anyway. The nobles were sticking to you.”
“They said they would pledge allegiance to me.”
“They are a group trying to seek future benefits in exchange for pledging allegiance to Paladin. At this stage, you need to filter what you hear. Even though you swallowed the entire central region, the foundation is not yet in place.”
“Well, that side is still mostly wasteland. It’s been devastated. I know that.”

It was devastated because of the airships. Currently, it feels like only my castle is standing alone. It will take some time for this place to develop.

Building buildings.

Creating farms and manors.

Building roads.

Building infrastructure will take a lot of time. But it won’t take too long. With my power, the groundwork that would take years can be finished in just a few days.

“What about the food problem?”
“That’s not a big problem either. The nobles who preserved their manors and farms are willingly offering it.”
“Hehehe, yes. Of course, they should give it. They’re going to use it for the public good.”
“Heh, it’s so funny that there are no people who dare to challenge Paladin’s power. Even if those guys rebel… Just that one scolding from earlier would solve everything.”
“Oh, by the way. Did you see the Sword Master chandelier?”

At those words, Kadia turned her head away from me and laughed.

“…Honestly, I couldn’t imagine he would react like that. By the time I noticed, he was already hanging from the chandelier.”
“The nobles fainted while foaming at the mouth.”
“How could a mere noble withstand the wrath of a superhuman hero? Now everything will go according to Paladin’s thoughts.”
“It’s a good phenomenon. I need to re-establish order and correct morality in my name.”
“That grand ambition… It really makes this saint’s heart flutter.”
“Right?”
“It’s a thought that came to me again, but Paladin is truly worthy of receiving all of this saint’s love and loyalty. I will continue to serve and assist Paladin by Paladin’s side.”
“Do that. My little Kadia.”

Feeling proud, I gently stroked Kadia’s head.

“Haa… My heart is at ease.”

She likes it a lot.

“Then Kadia. Let’s take off our clothes first.”
“What?”
“I said take off your clothes.”
“Wait. Why? How is the story flowing like that?”
“You said you would give all your love and loyalty to serve and assist me. How can you serve me while wearing clothes?”
“If, if the break time ends… There’s another meeting.”
“Take them off.”
“…”

ㅡSwish.

Kadia, whose face turned red, got up from her seat. Then, with her back to me, she slowly began to undress.

“Really. You like women’s bodies and colors too much.”
“Is that a flaw?”
“No. Even that appearance… Is very attractive. Ah, should I take off even the stockings?”
“You should keep those on.”
“I knew you would say that.”

Kadia soon became naked. I was very satisfied with the back view of her standing with her back to me, wearing only black stockings. The line of her thin waist connecting to her plump hips is truly beneficial to my heart.

I always drool over my women’s bodies. The impulse to mercilessly rub and suck them captivates my heart.

“Wear the veil and come sit here.”

Leaning back on the sofa, I spread my legs wide and tapped the seat in front of me.

“…You keep trying to make me wear the veil.”
“Because that’s important.”

Anyway, Kadia sat down with her butt right in front of me and leaned her body against me. My already violently erect penis touched her back. I was going to take off my pants, but I decided to just take off my shirt.

ㅡSwish.

Immediately, I gently hugged Kadia’s lower abdomen, buried my nose in her neck, and took a deep breath.

“It always smells so good.”
“Ugh, ughm… A little. No. I’m very embarrassed.”
“Your lower abdomen is also very soft.”

As I gently lowered my fingers stroking her lower abdomen… I soon touched her clitoris. This cute pink bean was a kind of button.

“Keuk… Heuht…!”

A button that squirts water when pressed.

As I pressed and rubbed the stiff clit with the knuckle of my middle finger, Kadia’s waist quickly began to bend.

ㅡWhirl.

I asked as I rotated her clit as if rubbing it.

“Kadia. How’s the Brass Sanctuary doing these days?”
“Heungkeuek…! Haa…! The, the Brass Sanctuary… You mean… Haeueuk!”
“Yeah? How is it? What do you think about the clergy or the celestial gods these days?”
“Heu, euek…! Haa, haeueueuk…!”

ㅡTzzubeup.

Kadia reached her climax as I pressed and rotated her clit while she was talking, unable to bear it. The large amount of ejected fluid instantly soaked the sofa.

“How many seconds did you last just now? Kadia.”
“Really… You’re being mischievous. Aren’t you treating this saint’s pussy like a toy?”
“It’s a toy that I won’t get tired of playing with for days and nights.”
“…!”

ㅡSquish…

As I gently lowered my finger again and caressed the entrance, Kadia began to convulse again. In that way, I enjoyed the reaction by gently widening and closing Kadia’s pussy hole with my fingers.

“Yeah? Right. Kadia. How is it these days?”
“Haa… Haeueue… For, for sure… I’ve realized very desperately that the current gods are in a state where they can’t protect humans. As Paladin said last time, the gods are fragmented… They can’t have the same power as before.”
“Yeah.”
“Of course, even now, divine power is boiling over in this saint’s body… But it’s not enough. Everyone knows it because of the demons… Even the Pope.”

I temporarily stopped playing with Kadia’s pussy and listened to her.

“Right now, Paladin is more powerful and reliable than those celestial gods.”
“You know it well. Kadia. That I am above the celestial gods.”
“I’m being played with by such an existence right now, so how can I not know?”
“Hehehe, that’s true. So. What do you think will happen to religion in the future?”
“I don’t know about anything else…”

Kadia paused for a moment, then laid down on my shoulder and said.

“The justice, order, and morality that the clergy pursues… Isn’t that something Paladin likes as well?”
“Yeah. I like it. Because they are truly good and righteous beings. I like them all, even if they seem a bit crazy.”
“That’s also a satisfactory answer. If the superhuman hero thinks so, then the future of the clergy is not bleak. I am confident that it will continue to exist in some way.”

In modern Earth, there is no particular feeling or occurrence of God. Nevertheless, religion has developed greatly. Similarly. Even if they felt the limits of divine power, religion would not collapse.

ㅡSquish… Squish…

Thinking that, I poked my finger inside Kadia’s pussy hole. The inside, which was soaked, always squeezed and pressured my finger strongly as usual.

“Keuk…! Keuhaeuek…! Ugh, how long are you going to just play around…!”
“No. Kadia. The meeting is about to start, but did you want to do it?”
“Right now, that… Heu, heuaaaeung…!”

As I drew a circle with my finger that I had poked in, widening the entrance, Kadia climaxed once again.
