Chapter 876: Cosmic Horror. 2
Ra looked at the horrendous creature in front of him. His Sun Deity Powers began to take effect, and his body was covered in a golden glow, making the room even hotter.
“Be understanding, Victor. It was Seth who did all of this.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Victor’s distorted voice echoed around.
“… Huh?”
“The moment you, as the Leader, targeted my Wives… MY DAUGHTERS.” The red aura exploded even stronger, completely overshadowing Ra’s Divinity and making the entire Dimension tremble.
Ra found himself in a world bathed in blood-red. He was using his Divine Powers to the fullest, but the amount of Energy emanating from Victor eclipsed everything.
“Your only fate was eternal torment.”
“It doesn’t matter if you were manipulated, if Seth convinced you, if you were blind to see it or not. It doesn’t matter.”
“None of that matters.”
“You took action against my Family… And that’s reason enough for me to come after you.”
“And believe me, no one escapes me.”
“It doesn’t matter if you flee to another world, another Dimension, or another Galaxy. I will find you, and I will make you all beg for the embrace of death because not even death will take you away from me.” Victor spoke with a tone that indicated he wasn’t just addressing Ra but everyone present. It was a clear warning to the ‘observers’ behind him.
Red eyes began to spread throughout the Pantheon.
“Holy Father, what is this…?” Ariel shivered when she saw this scene. “Souls?”
‘Hundreds of thousands of Souls, to be specific,’ Velnorah thought, looking at the dome around her. Even within this dome, she could feel the ‘horror’ emanating from Victor.
“Y-You are irrational…!” Ra’s entire body became as hot as the surface of the sun.
“And?”
“Huh?”
“What will you do about it?” Victor held him by the throat. Even though Ra’s body was as hot as the sun, Victor held him with his hand without feeling anything.
“Kill me? Complain against me? Beg for mercy?… Or will you cry out for justice and demand human rights, or should I say Divine Rights much like a powerless Mortal?”
“Hmm? Answer me.”
Ra looked at the various eyes on Victor’s ‘face.’ He used his Divinity to the fullest, becoming one with the sun itself, his body now completely golden, but even so, it didn’t seem to affect Victor.
‘Just… Just what is this monster!?’ He was getting genuinely terrified now. He had never seen something so ‘unknown’ in all his existence.
“I-… I-… I don’t know.” What could he do? In front of this Being, any argument of his would be ignored. Victor had come for blood, and he would get it.
“Exactly. You don’t know. Because you can’t do anything.”
So what if he was being irrational? So what if he was being tyrannical? Wouldn’t the other Gods have done the same in his position if they had the Power to?
If Odin had his military power and the personal Power he possessed, he would already be preparing to wage war against all Pantheons to rule over them.
Even Shiva himself would do something similar if The God of Destruction were in his place. The reason he didn’t do it was simple: despite being strong, he and Kali were the only Elites outside the norm in their Pantheon.
The rest of the Gods had a level equivalent to those of other Pantheons.
Not to mention that Kali herself would disagree. She preferred to meditate to become stronger rather than participate in a futile war from her perspective.
A war could not be won alone unless you were exponentially stronger than everyone else and had Techniques like Velnorah’s.
“Just like the Mortals you judged in the past, you are powerless against me. Ironic, isn’t it? A God submitting to a Mortal.” Victor’s hand pierced Ra’s heart.
The interior of the Primordial Sun God was even hotter, hotter than the outside, but just like before, nothing happened.
“At this moment, I am your God, and you are my plaything. So, I can do whatever I want, even break you.” Victor began to use his Soul Power and, for the first time, actively tried to ‘edit’ a God’s heavy Soul.
“What are you doing-… Ahh… AHHHHH!” Ra began to scream, a scream that resonated throughout the Pantheon.
Ra felt like a significant part of his existence was being torn directly from his Soul. It was a numbing pain; he had never felt anything like it in all his existence.
Ironically, Ra was not wrong. Something was indeed being extracted from his Soul.
And all those present could visibly see it, even if those, like Thor, didn’t have the ability. It was because the Soul was visible to everyone. Something that should have been invisible lost that ability because it was being brutalized by Victor’s hands.
“… Darling really loses all his humanity when it involves his Wives,” Jeanne commented solemnly. “If it weren’t for our request, he would have wiped out this Pantheon.”
When Jeanne said ‘our,’ she was referring to the more rational Wives like herself, Ruby, and Aphrodite.
If it weren’t for her, this invasion would have escalated into a mass genocide, something they couldn’t condone. Making more enemies now was irrational. Whether they liked it or not, they needed allies.
Morgana nodded. “Normally, he’s a quiet man. If you don’t provoke him, you can get along with him just fine. But it seems his existence bothers many.”
“It doesn’t matter; let them come. The same result will be shared no matter how many times they come.” Scathach tapped the ground with her Spear’s shaft, enjoying this ‘show’ immensely.
Because, like Victor, she was livid when she learned what these bastards were planning. ‘I will have a lot of fun with the other Gods in the orb.’ She thought.
“I found it.” Victor smiled widely, a smile that split his mouth completely.
Victor pulled his hand from Ra’s heart, taking both Ra’s heart and a golden Energy with it.
Ra stopped moving completely, like a puppet whose strings had been cut. His body lost its golden glow, and his face was frozen in pure horror.
Victor swallowed the heart, and in the next moment, his entire body shone in golden light with the Power of The Sun.
“As expected… I was correct,” Victor clenched his fists, feeling the Power of The Sun within himself. He opened his hand, and a mini-sun was created in his palm. But unlike before, he wasn’t using the Power of the Dragon Progenitor to shape Creation; he was using the Energy within himself.
“By consuming a Sun Divinity, I’ve opened a connection between the Sun in my personal Dimension and myself.” Previously, he didn’t have this connection. The sun existed in his Dimension, but he couldn’t control it as he pleased. But now, that was no longer true.
Victor spit something onto the ground, and it turned out to be Ra’s still-beating heart. He puts the heart back into the hole in Ra’s chest and channeled Nature’s Energy, using the Negative Energy to repair the damage he did to the Soul.
[Darling, this man is permanently incapacitated. He won’t be able to grow stronger even if his Soul is recovered.]
[Indeed. He will make a good lab rat.] In the next moment, Ra’s body began to regain its color, and then he opened his eyes.
All the pressure Victor had been exuding on the Pantheon disappeared as if it had never existed, and Victor’s appearance returned to normal, with the only insignificant difference being that his dark miasma-covered hair was now extremely hot, representing his new Power.
“W-What-… What have you done to me!?”
“I’ve made you Mortal.”
“Rejoice, Ra. You are the first Primordial God to become Mortal. Congratulations,” Victor clapped.
Seeing Ra’s incredulous face, Victor tilted his head, slightly confused.
“What…? Aren’t you happy? Hmm?”
“N-No! I’m extremely happy – I’m not HAPPY! Just kill me! I’d rather die than be a Mortal!” For a moment, fear overtook Ra’s body, but then this fear turned to despair when he reasoned through his situation.
“You can kill yourself if you want, but I can always bring you back.”
“…”
“You won’t die. I said as much, right? I will make you beg for death. And even after you beg for it, I won’t send you to the sweet embrace of death. You and all the Gods involved will be my food and toys for all eternity.”
“So… Rejoice, Ra.” Victor smiled widely. “You’ve been promoted from Primordial God to the personal plaything of The Demon King.”
“It’s a very happy occasion, isn’t it? RIGHT!?” With each word, his face got closer to Ra until, in the end, his face was completely distorted, resembling a cosmic horror.
Ra was so speechless, so shocked, so frightened that… His mortal heart stopped beating, and he died.
“Oops… Did he die?”
“You literally scared him to death, Darling,” Rose observed in amusement.
“How dreadful!” Victor exclaimed, mock horrified, and then his face changed to disdain. “What a rude person. I’m not that terrifying; how could he die seeing my divinely beautiful face?”
The Gods and Angels were speechless. They wanted to comment on many things about what Victor had said, but they were genuinely too terrified to do so.
While the Gods and Angels were feeling a deep fear, Scathach, Rose, Morgana, Jeanne, Aphrodite, and Zaladrac smiled in amusement.
Velnorah, who had watched everything from start to finish, practically had her eyes gleaming with excitement. ‘It’s him! I’m sure he’s the perfect candidate!’ If she had any doubts before, seeing how he dealt with someone who messed with his Family made up her mind completely.
Even if he rejected her request, she would try to convince him to help her!
“Hmm… As I swallowed Ra’s Divinity, I now have access to the Dimension of The Egyptian Pantheon…” Victor casually tossed some Natural Energy to Ra, and the man came back to life.
‘I will make this Dimension a separate one… Maybe I’ll place my faithful here.’ Victor thought. After analyzing the situation, he realized it was a good idea.
“Aphrodite, take care of the logistics. I want all the Divine Artifacts cataloged and stored in the vault.”
“Yes, Darling~. I’ll talk to Natalia.”
“I’ll give you the Keys to this Dimension. Take care of things here… We’re going to the next Pantheon.”
“Okay~, be careful, Darling.” Aphrodite took the opportunity and jumped on Victor while kissing him.
“Mm, contact me if you need me.”
“Okie~.”
