Chapter 1026: A Reunion in Paradise. 3
“The incident…” Valeria spoke of her concerns.
“She hasn’t forgotten,” Victor said.
Valeria visibly shuddered.
“Please, Master! I know it’s shameless to ask since you’ve already done so much for me, but please, can you make her forget?”
“Are you sure, my Disciple?” Victor asked. “Remember, memories shape who we are. If she forgets that incident, she will also forget that she was ‘revived’. Consequently, her adaptation to the new world will be even more difficult… Her adaptation to the new ‘you’ will be even more difficult.”
Valeria shuddered when she heard these words as doubts arose in her mind, but these doubts were immediately extinguished. “No Being, be it man or woman, should remember such abuse.”
“I agree,” Victor nodded.
Valeria looked puzzled at Victor.
“Do not misunderstand my intentions, my Disciple. I am not trying to convince you to let her keep these memories; I am merely drawing attention to the possible consequences of your decision. Ultimately, the choice is yours. Whatever it may be, I will respect it.”
“At the very least, I think Vanessa should have some input on the matter, right? Do not make the same mistake you made in the past, my Disciple.”
Valeria shuddered again when she heard these words and understood what her Master was trying to tell her. In the past, she tended to control her daughter too much, and she tended to make too many decisions for her. Only when the incident happened did she regret her actions.
If she had listened to her daughter more… If she had spent more time with her… There were so many regrets she had. And thanks to her God, she now had a new opportunity to do things right.
“…I will hold off on my decision until my daughter shares her opinion on the matter,” Valeria decided to slow down; she was too anxious.
Victor nodded. “Spend time with your daughter and understand her better. When a week has passed, I will return to hear both of your responses.”
Victor snapped his fingers, and a small wooden house formed on the hill. “The house has everything you will need. You both need a peaceful environment to get things back on track, and I believe this is the best place for it… After all, this view is one of my favorite spots on my planet.”
He smiled gently as he looked out at the horizon and saw the crystal-clear waters with snow-capped mountains as the sun began to set. The darkness of the night embraced the three Beings while a lush, clearly alien forest with various parts glowing in neon hues that contrasted with nature appeared.
There was a reason Victor was so adamant about not allowing other Beings to come to this planet. This was his personal paradise, and those who could step foot in it were only his Family.
Victor whistled, and the next moment, several animals began to appear. They had various forms: some were alien, while others were earthly animals. The variety was surreal. Clearly, Gaia was doing her job correctly.
Predators and prey were in the same place, and yet, nothing happened, all because of the presence of a single Being. The animals here, although not entirely conscious like Humans, were intelligent, and they were all connected to Nature in some way. Because of this, they understood very well who this ‘Being’ in front of them was.
He was their Creator; he was their God.
“Do not disturb that house, okay?”
Different sounds resembling roars of agreement and understanding were heard around.
This scene deeply impacted Valeria. If before she was completely fanatical to the point of doing anything for her God, that desire was strengthened even more through the various miracles he showed, and mainly because he brought back her dear daughter… Something she was sure the other Pagan Gods could not do.
While stroking a feline that seemed like a mix between a snow leopard and a saber-toothed tiger, Victor spoke to Valeria:
“Memories exist to remind us of the past, but in her case, her body does not suffer its consequences. Her body was specifically created by me; she is a common Human, but in broader terms, she is of ‘superior’ quality compared to the rest. You could say she is what a True Human should’ve been.”
“She will never get sick, and she will never suffer from the ‘flaws’ that common Humans experience. Her body will maintain its youthfulness when she turns 21, maintaining that youth until she reaches 70. By then, she will eventually begin to age and die of natural causes at 150 years old.”
Could Victor make these qualities even better? Yes, he could. He could make a Superior Human who could easily live for a thousand years. In a way, these Humans would be like ‘Adam,’ The Progenitor of Humans, but such exaggeration was not necessary.
“… Could she be like me?”
“It depends. If she is worthy enough, then yes, she could.”
Valeria nodded, understanding Victor’s words. He wasn’t being kind for no reason. Did he bring her back? Yes. But he brought her back because Valeria worked for it, and she was ‘worthy’ of such a reward.
As this conversation unfolded, the animals around them looked at the tiger with visible expressions of jealousy for being petted.
The tiger, which was a mix of famous animals from Earth, didn’t care at all about these stupid animals; he was currently in the Ninth Heaven of comfort.
“I’ll be back in seven days, my Disciple. Until then, enjoy.”
“W-Wait, Master. Who will take care of my duties?”
“Hmm? I will, of course..”
“… Eh?” Valeria was taken aback.
[Huh?] Roxanne exclaimed.
“See you in seven days.”
When Victor disappeared, a deep silence fell over the area as the animals began to return to the forest. Some stronger predators stayed nearby to ensure the safety of the two women.
Others just went back to their homes and spread the ‘word’ of the Creator to their family members.
Valeria thought of what she had just heard. Her Master, her God, her everything, would spend 7 days working in her place, and all her subordinates would be working with him for seven days… SEVEN DAYS!
Valeria gritted her teeth. She was extremely jealous now! She wanted to work with her Master, too!
“… Mother…”
Valeria’s feelings dissipated into the wind when she heard her daughter’s words. ‘Yes… That doesn’t matter now. I need to take care of my daughter.’ She picked up her daughter like a princess and walked toward the wooden house.
Arriving at the house, her thoughts couldn’t help but drift back to her subordinates again, and a petty thought crossed her mind: ‘… I will punish them when I return to my position.’
…
[Wait, Wait, Victor! You can’t just decide you’ll work like this! Think about your position!] Roxanne spoke.
What kind of God worked in leading their own Religion!? That doesn’t happen! That’s why the Supreme Priestess existed as his representative!
Victor suddenly stopped. “You’re right. As the God Emperor, I must maintain my reputation. Why should I work? They should work for me.”
[Exactly! Calm down, stop being naughty. You’re the God Emperor, for heaven’s sake!]
[Are you talking about me?] Victor smiled.
[Ugh, you get it! Don’t twist my words!]
“Although you are right, I cannot go back on my word. I told Valeria I would take over for seven days. How will she feel jealous of her subordinates if I don’t do this?”
[That’s the reason why you’re doing this!?] Roxanne exclaimed exasperatedly. Victor could be very childish sometimes!
“Woman, I am the God of Yanderes. If I don’t create Yanderes wherever I go, I wouldn’t be living up to my name.”
“Therefore, I will assume Valeria’s position… But it will be only for a day. After all, I have a commitment with my Beloved Wife to follow.”
[… Darling, admit it. You just want to fool around, don’t you?] Amara spoke with a narrowed gaze.
“Fufufufu~, who knows~?”
[… Sometimes, I think the reason why our Daughters are so playful is because they inherited that trait from Victor.] Roxanne sighed as she saw Victor’s smile, which was the same smile her Daughters made when they wanted to play around.
[Well, they are Father and Daughters, after all.] Amara shrugged.
Victor appeared at the place where Valeria had left in his usual suit. He thought about wearing his armor, but that seemed a bit overkill, so he just remained as he was.
His sudden appearance made the whole place fall into absolute silence, and the eyeballs of everyone present seemed like they would pop out of their faces with the shock they received.
[Fufufufu, this is fun.]
Amara and Roxanne rolled their eyes.
[Ugh… I want to see what Dad is doing; he seems to be having fun. Why are we stuck here?] Rosalyn grumbled.
[Just finish the lesson quickly, Rosalyn! That way, we can play with dad!] Amaya spoke.
[Right…]
“My beloved faithful, I will be assuming my Disciple’s position for a day. I expect the same level of diligence that you have with my Disciple.”
The silence continued in the room, and everyone seemed like petrified statues.
Victor clapped his hands once, causing a small sound wave that awakened everyone.
“Back to work, my faithful ones.”
“R-R-RIGHT!”
“Y-Y-YES!”
Like chickens that lost their heads, everyone started running around, and the next moment, they stumbled and fell around, creating a little mess.
[hahaha~]
Feeling the fun emanating from every corner of Victor’s Soul, Amara and Roxanne couldn’t help but smile. Although they found this situation absurd and disapproved of the Emperor himself taking on such a humble job, they were happy as long as Victor was having fun.
Victor just stood there watching the Archbishops who were on the ground.
The Archbishops, who were composed entirely of women, wanted to bury themselves 10 meters underground and not come out! They were so embarrassed!
“You don’t need to rush, my dear faithful.” He smiled gently, and that smile was very devastating for those women.
“Carry out your duties and obey my orders, and before you know it, you’ll be finished with everything. Now, bring me the reports of the current missions given by my Disciple.”
“Y-Y-Yes, Your Majesty!”
The women quickly got up from the ground and ‘slowly’ walked towards the door; the moment they left, they immediately ran and started shouting orders.
The younger Acolytes didn’t understand what was happening and didn’t understand why they were so apprehensive.
“What’s going on?”
“Why the hurry?”
“Is the world ending or something?”
Questions like these were asked, but the Archbishops didn’t answer as they just growled and shouted.
“Back to work!!”
“YES!!”
