Chapter 1007: Remember: No matter the place, I will always be with you, my Daughter.
[Victor Weismann note: I updated chapter 1005 and fixed the plot hole about Ophis and Nero. Thank you guys for telling me.]
Nero and Ophis walked towards a coliseum, unlike before, they were not hiding their Draconic features.
Upon Ophis’ head, two black Draconic Horns protruded proudly, her blood-red eyes’ pupils narrowed like those of a Dragon, and she had grown a few inches taller. These were only the visible changes; the rest of her remaining largely the same. She still wore a gothic black dress, a variation of her attire from her younger days.
Nero was similar. She had two white Horns on her head, and her blood-red eyes narrowed like a Dragon’s. Unlike Ophis, she dressed more modernly now that she was an ‘adult’. She wore black leggings, stylish black boots, and a shirt that revealed her toned shoulders and midriff.
Overall, she looked more like a woman who had just entered university.
They had different tastes and different styles of dress, but they were still Sisters who loved each other deeply, a characteristic shared with all Sisters and Mothers related to Victor.
Despite having personalities that would typically clash, everyone worked well together because Victor was there. He was the glue that held everyone together.
Entering the colosseum, they saw two people. Their beloved Father, dressed in a stylish black suit, stood gazing with his bright crimson-violet eyes at a woman with incredibly long, flowing, blood-red hair. She wore a tight training outfit designed for maximum mobility.
“Focus, Kali.”
“I know, I’ve been doing this for thousands of years.”
“Unlike before, you didn’t have your Divinity being stimulated by me, making it harder to control, so concentrate.”
“Ugh.”
Sweat dripped from Kali’s face, and the moment it appeared, it vanished completely from existence due to the chaotic Energy she was producing.
Even though she wasn’t a Dragon Goddess, as a Goddess on the brink of becoming a Primordial, Kali exerted immense pressure.
Even though they weren’t in close proximity to Kali, and even though their Father was obviously containing the effects of Kali’s pressure around them, the two girls could feel how much Power that Goddess possessed.
The oppressive feeling was ridiculous.
‘Is this on the level of Mother Jeanne? No… It’s a bit below, but definitely, she’s one of the strongest women around here,’ Nero thought.
A similar thought crossed Ophis’s mind. She didn’t know exactly who the strongest ‘Mother’ was since the Mothers had very distinctive characteristics among themselves, and they had their strengths and weaknesses.
But Ophis definitely knew who the most ‘monstrous’ Mothers were, those who excelled or were an anomaly in their own right.
Examples included Aphrodite with her Charm, Jeanne with her unique Energy, Rose with her Martial Arts reaching unprecedented levels, Scathach with her Power and experience as the strongest teacher, Velnorah with her control over Technology, and of course, Anna with her Power to distort Reality.
Of course, they weren’t the only ‘monstrous’ ones, just the most visible. There were monsters like Natashia with her Speed, Agnes with her Fire, Morgana with her Radiation, Roberta with her Power to Petrify anything and Memory Manipulation, and many others.
If Kali were one of their Mothers, she was sure she would be in the first group. She was very abnormal in her Mastery over her Destruction Divinity.
“Okay, that’s enough.” Victor’s crimson-violet eyes stopped glowing faintly, and the Power leaking from Kali’s body visibly decreased.
It was obvious to both of them that Victor was somehow stimulating Kali with his Powers.
Kali opened her eyes and looked sharply at Victor. To the unobservant eye, it might seem like she was irritated with Victor for the training, but to Victor, all he saw was someone pouting because they couldn’t get something they wanted.
“Don’t look at me like that. Using my Negativity Divinity to stimulate your Concept is beneficial, right? You’ve made a significant breakthrough in your Divinity, a breakthrough that you wouldn’t have achieved except after thousands of years of constant meditation.”
“I could push further…” Kali muttered softly. Honestly, the feeling of advancing so rapidly after so long with no visible results was very addictive. If she could, she would train like this forever until she reached her full potential.
But unfortunately, Victor didn’t do this Divinity potential training very often.
‘Once a year is too long!’ As a Goddess whose time was infinite, she never thought she would say those words to herself.
“What we’re doing is abnormal. I’m enhancing your Divinity using my influence. In practical terms, it’s like overcharging a battery beyond normal limits. Even though you’re visibly fine, your Soul isn’t. Rest and adaptation are necessary.”
Looking into Victor’s Draconic Eyes as he watched her so intently, she almost felt tempted to use her Divinity to hide her Soul. But she didn’t. On one hand, she knew it would be futile; after all, Victor was stronger than her. On the other hand, she trusted Victor and knew he wouldn’t harm her.
‘…But the feeling of having your Soul observed so attentively is quite difficult to get used to.’ She sighed and decided not to dwell on it too much. She didn’t want her lack of contact with others to hinder her progress.
…As long as it was Victor, it was okay for him to observe her Soul since he was helping her willingly, and she shouldn’t be petty here. ‘And it’s not like I dislike it either… This feeling of care is nice…’
Kali’s cheeks turned slightly red with her inappropriate thoughts, but she shook her head to clear them.
Victor just smiled slightly in amusement as he continued to observe the process that Kali’s Soul was undergoing. It might seem like he was helping without gaining any benefits, but those assumptions were far from the truth.
Training Kali in both Divinity and combat was serving as a learning experience for Victor as well, especially Divinity training. By constantly stimulating Kali’s Concept of Destruction with his Divinity of Negativity, he was helping himself understand more about this Divinity while also understanding more about the Concept of Destruction.
Thanks to this training with Kali, his Concept of Destruction was one of the Divinities he had the most Mastery over now.
If Kali was the top 1 Destruction God, Victor would definitely be number 2. The only difference between the two was that Kali had begun the process of becoming ‘one’ with the Universe, a process that would eventually transform her into a Primordial.
A path that Victor didn’t want to follow; after all, why should he ‘join’ the Universe? The Universe should join him. He followed his own path, and binding himself to something so restrictive wasn’t his style.
‘Interesting… She’s becoming the very Concept of Destruction, and her Soul is spreading everywhere, but what’s being spread isn’t the Records of her Soul, but her influence.’ One of his many theories was proven once again.
That was another reason why Victor decided to train Kali personally. The opportunity to witness someone who was about to become a Primordial, a unique experience that probably almost no one had the opportunity to see with as much detail as Victor, was exciting.
This simple ‘observation’ by Victor was helping him understand more about Creation than he ever could have if done normally.
Victor truly thanked his past self who fully invested in the Goddess of Luck, having her Bless him. This was one of his best investments from the past and he was certain that it was because of this abnormal ‘Luck’ that always seemed to land him in trouble that Kali was now here in front of him.
‘Although such an encounter was possibly foreseeable considering my involvement with Aphrodite…’ Victor thought.
Even for his current self, it was difficult to discern what was ‘Luck’ and what wasn’t. After all, Luck was a force that existed but wasn’t easily perceptible. This kind of Concept operated heavily on probabilities and small-scale Reality Distortion. At least, that’s what he understood from observing the Luckiest Human, who happened to be his subordinate.
Despite being lucky himself, it applied only to him as everyone around him suffered from his misfortune. His Powers were both a blessing and a curse.
Kali slowly collapsed to the ground, her long, blood-red hair still floating around her without touching the floor. Her body was completely overwhelmed with Energy and would remain so for quite some time unless she expelled excess Energy from her body or someone drained her Energy.
The moment Kali set foot on the ground, the area around where she stepped was erased from existence.
“Oops.”
“And you wanted to train more. You can barely control yourself now.” Victor rolled his eyes, finally ceasing his observation of Kali’s Soul.
Kali blushed slightly and tried her best to retract her Power, but it was literally an impossible task—not that she couldn’t control it, but she physically couldn’t rein it in. She had no more ‘space’ to store any more Energy.
Seeing Kali’s troubled face, Victor shook his head once again and approached her.
Kali’s eyes widened when she suddenly felt Victor hugging her.
“Relax your body a bit and let your Energy flow.”
Despite the initial shock, she immediately obeyed Victor’s orders and stopped holding back her Energy. Like a dam beginning to burst, all the overloaded Power poured out of her body.
“Haah…” She let out a long sigh of relief as she rested her head against Victor’s chest, feeling like someone who had just relieved themselves in the bathroom after holding it in for a long time.
‘A rather terrible analogy,’ Kali thought. ‘But one that makes a lot of sense to me.’
Slowly, the Power in her body began to decrease to manageable levels. Her long, blood-red hair, which seemed to be made of pure Energy, finally took on a more natural hue and slowly fell to the ground as if gravity was gradually taking effect on them.
“Umu, that replenished 3% of my reserves,” Victor nodded, considering how much Energy he had, replenishing 3% was a significant feat—it just proved how ‘overloaded’ Kali was.
Kali was speechless at Victor’s statement.
“Just how much Energy do you have?” She unconsciously asked.
“Yes.”
“…Huh?”
“You asked how much Energy I have, and I answered: Yes,” Victor clarified, chuckling lightly and stroking Kali’s hair.
“…That’s not an answer. Can you be more specific?” She spoke while completely ignoring the hair stroking. This kind of ‘affection’ wasn’t bad; she didn’t dislike it, as she came to learn every time she trained with Victor. Even though she hadn’t had much contact with anyone in the past, she had learned to appreciate the contact she had with Victor now.
Well, considering that no one could touch her carelessly or they would be destroyed, lack of contact was normal.
“Hmm…” Having finished draining all the excess Energy from Kali’s body, Victor stepped away from her, much to Kali’s personal disappointment. Then he replied:
“Honestly, I have no idea.” Victor tried to think about quantifying how much Energy he had, but he had no clue how to scale it.
As he pondered, Victor suddenly heard the voice of Rosalyn Elderblood, his Daughter with Roxanne.
[Daddy, if you wish, you can easily nurture this Galaxy with our help!]
Then he heard the voice of Amaya Elderblood, his Daughter with Amara.
[Hmm, consequently, the galaxy will nurture you as well, causing a perpetual effect where you have infinite Energy! In other words, nothing is impossible for Daddy!]
Victor smiled faintly as he heard the voices of his two Daughters in his head.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Amara’s voice.
[You two! You’re skipping your lessons again?! Come back here now!]
