Chapter 1005: Nero and Ophis.
Four girls were looking at a hologram in front of them that showed images of Victor’s Wives testing a new item made by Velnorah and Velina.
“I must say that these suits look quite useful, but they don’t seem as versatile as our Father’s outfit,” Nero said.
“I agree. The suit also doesn’t seem to be as strong as Velnorah’s.” Ophis nodded.
Unlike many years ago, the 2 former little girls were completely grown up now.
As Nero became an adult, her body developed, and she acquired the toned body of a warrior. Her striking features from when she was a teenager continued as an adult. She still had short white hair at neck length, blood-red eyes, and attire more like a tomboy.
Ophis was the same. Her long black hair remained, just as her gothic dress remained the same, but unlike before, despite wearing gloves, she no longer needed them now that she controlled her Powers better.
Just like Victor’s Daughters, they also became Blood Dragons, but they had not yet become Goddesses since they had not spent all their time inside Victor’s Inner World.
The two often went out to Nightingale for Ophis to see her other Father, and of course, Nero, her older sister, would accompany Ophis.
Therefore, if you counted how long the two spent in Victor’s Inner World, it would only be approximately 969 years, long enough for them to become adults but not long enough to let them become Elder Vampires.
Although this time was not felt in any way by the two girls due to the confusion in their schedules and because Victor hid it very well.
So, for them personally, it was as if only 20 to 30 years had passed, at least in terms of feelings.
“Junketsu is a very powerful Artifact, and it is unlikely that advanced Technology will be able to have the same effects as it,” Metis commented casually as she looked at Ruby in a futuristic red full-body outfit.
The woman flew into the sky and pointed her hand forward. The next moment, four gigantic cannons emerged, materialized on her back, and shot pure Energy.
“…That is really cool,” Ophis said as her eyes glowed slightly.
“I don’t understand.” Zaladrac, the original True Dragon, commented. “Why do they need this? Isn’t a True Dragon’s Status enough?”
“It’s never a bad thing to have too many weapons, especially weapons that can completely nullify our weakness against the Anti-Dragon Element.”
“Which is the main objective of this suit; the rest is extra,” Metis explained.
“Hmm…” Zaladrac frowned at those words. The Dragon’s weakness in itself is absurd for Beings that could literally bend Reality.
For example, in theory, Anna should be able to completely invalidate the weakness against the Anti-Dragon Element, right? After all, she can bend Reality at a very high level.
The same applied to Victor.
But, through tests carried out by Victor himself, only he was able to nullify this weakness by bending Reality, but he was unable to do the same for his Wives… Well, not entirely.
The effects were lessened but not completely erased, as in his case.
It was speculated that the reason this happened was because of the ‘Rules’ of Existence itself.
ALL Beings must have some form of weakness to have a Balance. Some Beings had more weaknesses, and others had almost none, but they most definitely had one. No Being could be ‘perfect’ because The Balance did not allow that.
The very fact that only Victor was able to break this rule was proof enough that this weakness was something imposed by The Rules of Creation itself.
As True Dragons, they are arrogant, petty, greedy, proud, and have weaknesses to Anti-Dragon Traits.
This was the ‘Rule’ of Creation.
Of course, with time and training, all of these personality traits could be controlled and overcome, but the same cannot be said for the Anti-Dragon Trait.
And that was where the suits created by Velnorah came in. They were made specifically for each Wife with their own characteristics in mind, suits made for protection, fabricated with Draconic Runes, Technomancy, and Divine and Demonic Materials.
They were suits that only lost in Power and versatility to The Progenitor’s Blade, Junketsu.
Seeing Violet creating Technological Wings out of thin air that shot plasma beams of pure Energy, Ophis couldn’t help but say. “I want one… I really want one. It’s really cool.”
“Yes… Having the Power of a Dragon is good and all, but… Nanomachines, son.”
Ophis laughed lightly when she heard Nero’s reference.
“Hmm, these suits are quite powerful, and this is just the Mark 1 Variant based on Velnorah’s Technology. I wonder how she will advance with future suits. Perhaps her Technology will surpass Junketsu?” Metis expressed her thoughts.
“Impossible.” Zaladrac, Nero, and Ophis spoke at the same time.
“Nothing is impossible,” Metis spoke.
“Yes, I agree, but in this specific case, it is completely impossible… Junketsu is very possessive of Father.”
“And she evolved along with him to meet his needs… In the beginning, she was just an Odachi, and now? She can be anything he desires, and it is incorrect to call her just The Progenitor’s Blade now.” Nero explained.
“Meaning, the stronger Father gets, the more Junketsu will evolve… And since Father is an Outer God… So, yes… I don’t see how Velnorah’s Technology can overcome that.” Ophis pointed out.
“Hmm, Hmm.” Zaladrac nodded several times.
Metis was silent. The girls had given her valid points, and she had no way of countering their words. Suddenly, a noise similar to a ringtone came from her wrist.
Metis raised her eyebrow and lightly clicked on her bracelet, causing Velina’s image to appear in front of her.
“Mother, your suit is ready. Stop by the lab to get it.”
“Hmm, I’ll go get it now.” Metis nodded and then stood up.
Feeling Ophis and Nero’s gaze towards her, Metis looked at the two girls.
“What?”
“Nothing.” Ophis snorted.
“I was wondering why you were the only one who didn’t have children with Father,” Nero spoke. “Even Amara and Roxanne had children, and they are World Trees… Now that I realize it, Father impregnated two planets. Damn, that’s wild.”
“Technically speaking, he impregnated three planets… After all, Gaia is said to be the Primordial who represents the planet Earth, right?” Ophis spoke.
“Well, that is in the Myths. In reality, she is just the Goddess of Earth, a Mother-Goddess, and not the representation of the planet itself, like Roxanne and Amara, who are the World Trees.” Nero pointed out.
“…Mm… That’s complicated.” Ophis nodded.
“Indeed.” Nero agreed.
“… I’m Darling’s Daughter, aren’t I?” Metis smiles seductively. “I want to enjoy that status for a few millennia before thinking about having Daughters of my own.”
The truth was that Metis didn’t want to have a Daughter anytime soon due to her past experiences with her daughter, Athena. She’d been everything she wanted for a Daughter but came with many glaring flaws.
Yes, the woman was wise and intelligent but had an enormous, useless pride. Not to mention that despite not fully knowing her condition, she still never tried to help Mother like a good daughter would, and Metis still held a grudge about it.
Fortunately, her useless daughter became an empty shell of a ‘person’ on which Lily and Medusa could practice their torture arts. A worthy ending for a disappointment like her.
A God’s grudge can be quite petty, even if the target of that grudge was their own progeny.
Metis had no idea how bad of an influence she was on Victor’s Daughters, all because of her status as a Daughter. She was living proof that a Daughter could become a Wife, and she was the trigger for countless heartaches that hit more normal Wives.
“Well, do whatever you want.” Nero shrugged. “Father won’t force anything on us.”
“Hmm, I will.” Metis nodded and then disappeared, going to get her suit.
When Metis disappeared, Ophis and Nero looked at Zaladrac, who was acting strangely.
“What’s the matter, Zaladrac?” Nero asked.
“Hmm, my Daughter is absorbing the inherited knowledge much faster than I expected…” Zaladrac spoke as he looked at a massive Dragon in the hologram, a Dragon that was very similar to her and Victor in his Dragon Form.
“Is that bad?” Ophis asked.
“It’s not bad. It’s just that I feel a little…”
“Frustrated that your Daughter is doing something faster than you did previously?” Nero spoke.
“Yes…” Zaladrac narrowed her eyes. “It took me millions of years to absorb this knowledge, and I only just finished absorbing it completely after Darling changed me into a Blood Dragon.”
“And my Daughter, in less than a few millennia, is already on the verge of completely finishing this task.”
Zaladrac could be said to be an actual True Dragon since the Essence of a True Dragon was that each generation passed on knowledge to their descendants. It was a practice that True Dragons usually did so that their children were not deceived and to pass on their teachings even if they were not present. After all, before Victor emerged as a Progenitor of Dragons, the Dragon species was heavily hunted by everyone because of their very valuable bodies.
“…Actually, wouldn’t it be strange if she took her time considering who her Father is?” Ophis pointed out.
“I mean, that’s true… But… Ugh, I don’t know.” Zaladrac snorted. She was just frustrated. A job that took literally millions of years to complete was being done so quickly like this, it was just frustrating.
Zaladrac felt frustrated and, simultaneously proud of her Daughter for being so competent.
Nero shook her head from side to side while lightly touching Zaladrac’s shoulder. “Just be proud of her. After all, she’s doing everything she can to make her parents proud.”
“… That’s true, I don’t need to be petty about it. After all, the present is different from the past.”
Ophis and Nero nodded in agreement with Zaladrac.
“Speaking of Dragons… When will you girls transform into True Dragon Gods?” Zaladrac asked curiously.
Of the group of recent Dragons, they were the only ones to have not transformed into Dragon Gods yet. Unlike Victor’s Daughters, who were already born naturally as Gods, the two had to conquer their Divinities by themselves.
‘I wonder what kind of Divinity the two will have. Depending on how the Enlightenment process happens, they will become a power of their own just like all my other Daughters.’ Zaladrac thought.
Ophis and Nero smiled slightly and said at the same time: “Soon.”
“…Just don’t be too greedy when the day comes, and treat the whole process as a journey.” Zaladrac naturally advised.
“When it finally happens, you won’t last long because the weight of Darling’s Soul is very different, and when he fucks, he doesn’t just fuck your body out of existence; he fucks your Soul too, which is a very deep connection.”
“That is why, even though us Wives theoretically have infinite stamina, we still get tired because we are copulating through both Soul and body.” She shivered slightly as she remembered certain things she had been through.
‘Damn, I’m getting excited…’ Zaladrac tried to control herself and get that image out of her head, but every time she avoided thinking about it, the more she thought about it.
Ophis and Nero blushed deeply when they heard Zaladrac’s words. The damage done to them was all the more effective because Zaladrac had no sense of shame whatsoever.
‘Was this woman talking about this? I thought she was talking about making us Dragon Gods!’ Nero thought inwardly with shame. They didn’t expect those words to come from Zaladrac.
She and Ophis weren’t depraved like Violet, Agnes, Morgana, Roberta, Naty, and Natashia, just straight to the point. Because of this, the damage was multiplied several times.
Ophis and Nero slightly narrowed their eyes when they smelled a strange scent coming from Zaladrac. Ophis immediately disappeared as if the Space around her had swallowed her, and in the next moment, she appeared with a bucket of water and threw its contents at Zaladrac.
Silence fell around them, and Nero just looked at Ophis in disbelief.
“Better?” Ophis asked as she ignored Nero’s glare.
Zaladrac looked at Ophis and said, “Thank you.”
With a wave of her hand, she bent Reality to her will, and then she was back to her normal, much calmer self.
“You’re welcome.” Ophis nodded, satisfied.
Turning her gaze to the hologram, Ophis couldn’t help but think that she wanted a suit for herself. Perhaps with this suit, her versatility could grow more. Not to mention that as one of the girls who spent a lot of time in the entertainment area, Ophis had lots of ideas about how a ‘super tech’ outfit could help her in the future.
‘If I find myself in an Advanced Civilization, having a very powerful A.I. could be very useful. After all, as my Father once said, there are situations in life that cannot be solved with brute force.’ Ophis thought about the advice she received from Victor.
This was advice that Victor himself learned after going through some situations in the past that could not be resolved with physical force.
Ophis was aware that this advice was based more on situations from people close to her, but the same advice could apply to different situations, so she kept an open mind.
Unlike when she was younger, the years in Victor’s Inner World allowed Ophis to mature a lot, and she was no longer as naive as before. That being said, her main personality still remained the same. She wouldn’t change who she was, she was still Ophis, Victor’s Daughter.
‘Come to think of it. I need to talk to Nero about our training, I wanted to incorporate some new Techniques into it.’ Ophis thought.
Looking at Nero, who was completely focused on their ‘Mothers’ training, she decided to leave it to say that later since it seemed like it wasn’t the time to talk about it now. She knew that anything she said now, Nero wouldn’t listen to her because she was too focused.
Turning her gaze back to the suit tests, Ophis focused her attention on one of her Mothers, who seemed to be having difficulty adapting to the suit due to her voluptuous body.
“Ugh, this suit is too tight…” Pepper grumbled.
‘Yes, I think I should talk to Mother Velnorah about the appearance of the suits. These suits can’t be too tight since this will only bother the more voluptuous Mothers.’ Ophis thought.
