The statue of the Dark Goddess was crudely made and had nothing special inside. Wayne had checked it before; it was merely a slightly higher-quality energy storage device, only a bit more advanced than a Magic Stone that stored Magic Power.
The improvement was limited.
The statue could only store energy and had no channels to transmit it, indicating that when Wayne injected Magic Power, he couldn't connect directly with the Dark Goddess. Only after he left would the Dark Goddess come to collect the Magic Power.
That was fine by him, as Wayne did not want to face her directly. If he could avoid contact, he would.
He raised his hand and placed it on the statue, being careful not to cause any misunderstanding of disrespect. He avoided touching the head, chest, or waist—any private areas—and placed his hand on the statue's thigh.
Even now, he didn't forget to cling to the Goddess' thigh.
