Chapter 918: Dragon, Dragon, and More Dragons. 2
Victor waited for a while as his Wives admired his Dragon Form, an admiration that boosted Victor’s ego a bit, so he decided not to revert to his Humanoid Form for now.
Victor raised his head, noticing that more people had arrived. He raised his non-existent eyebrows and asked, “Sasha and Natashia, why are they here?”
Carmila and Naty trembled slightly under the Dragon’s gaze. Even though he wasn’t doing anything, just looking at them instinctively made them feel existential danger. Not only that, with just one look, Carmila could tell that no matter what she did, she wouldn’t be able to defeat that Being, a feeling that was also shared by Naty.
“Well…”
While Sasha was about to give a detailed explanation, Natashia intervened and spoke as if explaining everything: “For the Family.”
Victor focused his gaze on the smiling Natashia and felt her emotions through their bond. “I see…” He closed his eyes and then opened them, looking at the two of them. “Behave, okay?”
“Y-Yes.” Both of them could only confirm with stammering.
‘Umu… The intimidation factor of speaking in this Form is something else,’ Victor thought internally.
Victor’s gaze shifted from Carmilla and Naty to the other additions.
He looked over at Hestia, who was blushing and being held by an excited Aphrodite, and then his gaze went to Anna, Maya, and Tasha.
His mother’s presence was understandable; he had asked her to come. Even if she didn’t meet the requirements at the moment, for Victor, that didn’t matter. He could mature her Soul with his Divine Blessings, and she could change her Race.
But why were Maya and Tasha here? Starting with Tasha, who was a Progenitor of a Race, he didn’t even know if she could change her Race now. After all, no Progenitor had tried to transform another Progenitor into a member of their own Race. From what Victor understood, if a Progenitor did that, a dominance struggle between the two Progenitors would occur.
And the one who lost would transform into the Race of their opponent. But in return, the Progenitor would lose their special status as a Progenitor… Of course, the situation would be different if Tasha had a Heroic Spirit that was also a Progenitor, like Medusa.
Speaking of Medusa, Victor wondered if she would want a new body. Victor’s Dragon Eyes turned to Roberta for a few seconds.
‘I don’t think either of them would accept,’ Victor thought. Medusa and Roberta coexisted very well in a single body, not to mention that most of the time, Medusa was quite lazy, so staying in Roberta’s body was more interesting to her than having her own body.
Victor knew his Wife well enough to easily deduce her answers. Victor asked Tasha, “Did you come to observe?”
“Yes, it’s not every day you see a bunch of True Dragons being born, you know? It’s a rare event,” Tasha replied.
“Mm,” Victor nodded, thinking it made sense. Then he looked at Maya. “And you?”
“Of course, I came to become a Dragon.”
“… Oh?” These words were unexpected for both Victor and the other women who knew Maya and her pride in her Race.
“I thought you would continue as a Werewolf, Maya,” Leona asked as she approached her.
“Unfortunately not… There are simply too many inherent advantages for me to ignore this opportunity… Besides, I won’t need to rely on the number of my Betas to gain extra strength anymore.” She narrowed her eyes; this was a point she didn’t like about her Race.
Dragons not only had a stronger body than Werewolves but were also naturally more connected to Nature than Wolves themselves, which meant they could control Creation as long as they were proficient in it. Of course, such control wouldn’t be on the same level as the Dragon Progenitor’s, but it was high enough to interact with all Elements.
An example of this was Scathach. Despite her main Elements being Fire and Ice Control, she could still control Creation on a smaller scale. After all, she was also a True Dragon.
“Unexpected… I thought you wouldn’t make that decision.”
“I’m not foolish. I can see that in the future, our enemies will be more than mere Mortals, so having all the advantages is essential. I don’t mind losing some characteristics that have always been with me to gain this Power.”
These words made Haruna’s fox ears twitch a bit; it was precisely for this reason that she was here.
“You’re right,” Victor agreed, catching everyone’s attention. “But you seem to be misunderstanding something; you won’t lose anything.”
“Huh…?”
“Essentially speaking, a Progenitor has two ways to increase their numbers. The first method is the traditional method that everyone knows.”
“Hot and steamy mating,” Maria said, bringing a smile to Agnes, Aphrodite, Natashia, Naty, Morgana, and the women who were more open about their desires.
In contrast, Ruby, Jeanne, Anna, Kaguya, Sasha, Hestia, and the more conservative women narrowed their eyes at her.
“… Exactly,” Victor wanted to correct her, but she wasn’t entirely wrong, so he just ignored it. “The second method is for the Progenitor to infuse the Essence of their own Race into another Race.”
“Like what the Werewolf and Vampire Progenitors do, right?” Tasha asked.
“Correct.”
“But there’s a catch; in this second method, 1% of the original Race’s Essence remains. This 1% contains all the knowledge, personality, and Essence that make you… well, you.”
“Unless something extraordinary happens, like being completely remade as had happened to me, this fact won’t change.”
Due to his various metamorphoses, that 1% that made Victor a Human long ago had completely merged with his Dragon Essence. Technically, Victor was now 100% a Blood Dragon, a Race of a perfect fusion between Noble Vampires and Dragons.
“Even when I became a Progenitor of the Vampires, at the time, I didn’t lose that 1% that made me a member of the Human Race… After all, the change wasn’t as profound as that of my transition into a Dragon.” By becoming a Dragon and then a Dragon God, not only had his Soul changed completely, but the Essence of his Soul had also changed completely.
“So even if you become a Blood Dragon, your 1% that makes you a Werewolf won’t disappear. And as Blood Dragons are also shape-shifters, you can maintain your wolf characteristics if you wish.”
“Hmm, it’s good to know that I won’t lose anything.” Maya nodded. “But I don’t intend to keep my Werewolf characteristics.” She looked at Jeanne, Aphrodite, Morgana, Rose, Zaladrac, Scathach, and then back at Victor.
The mentioned Beings proudly displayed their status as True Dragons. She wanted to do the same and feel like part of the ‘Family.’ After all, the Faction’s name is “The Dragon Nest.”
It would be just wrong for her to be a Werewolf in this place when everyone around her was a True Dragon.
“Mm, very well. Just do what makes you feel most comfortable,” Victor said.
“I will,” Maya smiled gently.
Then he looked at Haruna. “Do you share the same opinion, Haruna?”
“Yes… But I will continue to use my old form when necessary. After all, Darling likes my tails.” She smiled slightly as her tails fluttered behind her.
“Well, that’s true…” Victor didn’t deny it.
“Let’s begin the Ritual.” Victor’s giant violet eyes glowed with Power, and soon, their entire surroundings began to change.
“… Are we in the air?” Lacus asked.
“So this is how the Avengers felt when they fought on that floating island with that robot,” Pepper said in reflection.
Lacus and Siena rolled their eyes at her younger sister’s words.
“Scathach, Zaladrac, sustain the Runes.”
“On it,” Scathach said.
“Mm,” Zaladrac nodded.
Next, the two flew off the floating island, and several Runes were cast onto the makeshift island.
Victor looked down, specifically at the spot from where he had ripped off this massive piece of land.
Using his Powers over Nature, Victor began to restore the area that had been destroyed to an exact copy of what was in the air now.
Then he looked at the land around. “Hmm, this won’t be strong enough for True Dragons.”
Victor gently touched the ground with his claw, and in the next moment, all the surrounding earth turned into pure Divine Material.
“… Dragons are so overpowered,” Tasha couldn’t help but comment at this simple demonstration of Creation Control.
The women around couldn’t help but agree with Tasha. He had literally transformed dirt into pure Divine Material! The Supernatural World’s economy would collapse just with this floating land.
“You haven’t seen anything yet,” Violet smiled. “The Power of The Chaos Dragon goes beyond this.”
Kaguya looked at Violet with a neutral expression but didn’t comment. However, the Perfect Maid was still watching.
“Hmm, I still think it’s not enough,” Victor said as he scratched the ground, noticing that minor damage was being caused.
He touched the ground again with his claw, and Infernal Metal merged with Divine Metal, completely fusing into a new material even more resilient than before.
“See?” Violet laughed even more when she saw her Husband create a material that essentially had both Positive and Negative Aspects.
Faced with this absurdity, the women who were already used to seeing Victor defy common sense just sighed and treated it as usual.
On the other hand, Maya, Tasha, Amaterasu, and Velnorah just gasped at this sight. The reasons for Maya, Tasha, and Amaterasu seemed to be the same, but for Velnorah, it was different. She was in shock because she had seen two completely opposing Energies create something new, which should have been impossible!
‘… So that’s why he’s called The Chaos Dragon God, huh…’ Velnorah thought.
Victor scratched the ground again and nodded in satisfaction when no damage occurred. This seemingly ‘simple’ gesture was putting considerable force into it, and if he couldn’t cause significant damage, it meant that this material was very resistant.
“Let’s get started… The first group will be made up of Sasha, Natashia, Ruby, Violet, Agnes, Leona, Kaguya, Anna, Natalia, and Eleonor. Those mentioned, please stay on the right side.” Victor pointed to his right side.
“…Eh? Me too?” Natalia pointed to herself in shock. She thought she would just watch!
“Of course, I already said, right? Your capabilities will continue to exist with you as, unlike Noble Vampires, Dragons are compatible with all Powers. Therefore, your Powers of Space and Time will not be weakened or lost… In fact, they’ll likely become even stronger.”
“So stop stalling and go to the right side.”
“Y-Yes!” Natalia overcame her stupor and quickly followed the group.
“The second group will be made up of Siena, Lacus, Pepper, Victoria, Carmila, Natasha [Naty], Maya, and Haruna. Please stay in front of me.”
“Yes!”
As the girls moved around, Victor said: “The third batch consists of Maria, Roberta, Bruna, Eve, Mizuki, Lily, Vine, Helena, Vaper, and Aline. Please stay on the left side.”
“Okay, Master.”
“Mmm.”
“Okay, Darling.”
Sounds of confirmation resounded around the island, and soon, the aforementioned group walked toward Haruna.
“The fourth group is composed of Hestia, Nyx, Gaia, Persephone, and Amaterasu… As you are the High Level Goddesses, you are last, as your process is more complicated.”
“Okay, Vic,” Nyx nodded.
“Hmm, so the day has finally come…” Gaia sighed. She knew that since she was captured, she couldn’t escape. Not that she was complaining; after all, the place was nice, the man was Handsome, and she didn’t need to take revenge on her treacherous children.
“How does it feel to know you’re going to be devastated again?” Aphrodite said.
Gaia shivered at Aphrodite’s sudden voice and huffed, “Stop with those rude words, Aphrodite, have some decency.”
“Fufufufu.” Aphrodite just laughed as she looked at Gaia with a knowing look. She knew very well how ‘needy’ the Mother Goddess was.
The Mother Goddess blushed slightly. She hated that she couldn’t hide anything from the Goddess of Love.
“W-Wait, me too!? I thought I was here just to watch!” Persephone said in shock, a shock that was also shared by Amaterasu.
After all, she was just an ally who had recently joined the group.
“I want to know too… Isn’t it too soon?”
Victor looked at the Goddesses with an emotionless gaze. “… I’ve already said, right? It’s impossible to escape from me.”
Hestia blushed furiously and glanced briefly at Aphrodite, who just gave her a thumbs-up, encouraging the Goddess.
“B-But, it’s too soon, we should…” Amaterasu stuttered.
“Just be on standby, woman,” Victor rolled his eyes.
“O-Okay.”
Persephone felt conflicted; she wanted to say something, but then she heard Victor say,
“We’ll talk later.”
“…Mm.”
“Velnorah, what do you think?” Victor looked at the tall woman.
“I’ll remain as I am until I’m absolutely sure I won’t lose my ability.”
Victor huffed, “Do you not believe my words? I’ve already said that Dragons are compatible with all Powers. You underestimate the Beings of Nature.”
“The problem is that my Power isn’t exactly oriented towards Nature but towards Technology,” Velnorah replied.
“…Velnorah, Technology is also part of Creation… Let me rephrase it to see if you understand better.”
“Dragons are the most compatible Beings with Creation to ever exist or will ever exist. Everything within Creation is compatible with our existence.”
“Oh…” Velnorah now understood what Victor was implying. “Wait, isn’t that overpowered? Won’t that kind of Power attract the attention of the Primordial Beings?”
“Of course, it will. They’re already here, observing everything to see if I break the agreement,” Victor rolled his eyes.
These words made the girls look around for them, but they couldn’t find anything.
“Never mind, you won’t be able to sense them. Only Jeanne or I can currently sense them.”
The girls looked at Jeanne, who was floating in the distance, and the woman simply nodded, indicating that he was correct.
“What agreement?” Velnorah asked.
“I can only transform my Family into True Dragons. Beings not so close to me will have to be a regular Dragon or a Dragon Subspecies, but not a True Dragon like us.”
Velnorah blushed slightly as she opened her eyes wide. “B-But you rejected me…”
“I did?” Victor smiled. “Are you sure?”
Velnorah thought about Victor’s words, and despite him saying that to her, his words didn’t carry a definitive or serious tone; he was clearly teasing her.
Velnorah blushed even more when she realized she hadn’t noticed that.
“So, will you accept or not?”
“I will.”
“Then go to Hestia’s group.”
“Mm.”
Lilith, who had been watching all of this, looked at Tasha. “So we’re the only ones left out…”
“Well, we’re Progenitors.”
“I feel conflicted about this. I don’t like the feeling of being left out of something, but I also don’t want to lose my status as a Progenitor.”
Tasha nodded in agreement with Lilith.
“Let’s get started…” Victor’s eyes gleamed. “This might hurt a bit, but bear with it.”
Feeling how much easier it was to do what he was about to do, Victor was thrilled. ‘Although I made this decision based on my ego, I did the right thing in changing into my Dragon Form; everything has become smoother and easier.’
Three giant violet Magic Circles with Draconic Runes appeared beneath the first three groups.
Victor began to speak with the Authority of Beginnings and Negativity, “Let the world know a New Era…”
“Ohh… My body is glowing,” Pepper commented excitedly. “The overpowering power-up is coming, girls! Should I scream like a Saiyan?”
“Pepper, shut your mouth—ugh,” Siena squatted down, hugging her body; her entire body was boiling as if she were in a volcano.
Lacus began to cough as she squatted, but nothing came out from her coughing. When she coughed harder, pure mist escaped her mouth. “What…?”
She looked at her body and saw that she was transforming into pure mist. “What’s happening to me?” She commented in panic, a panic that gradually began to disappear when her Being was entirely covered by the mist.
“I feel strange… What is this?” Sasha said as she looked at her hands.
Rumble, Rumble, Rumble.
The bodies of Sasha, Carmila, Victoria, Natashia, and Naty began to be covered by Lightning until they became Beings of Pure Elemental Power.
“… The Spirit Lineage of our Ancestor…” Carmila muttered in shock as she looked at her body.
“Is my Monster Lineage mutating?” Eleonor looked at herself when she saw that her Monster Lineage was being enhanced.
Similar comments began to be heard all around.
Haruna noticed that an extra tail had grown behind her, and she felt stronger. She also felt like she was hitting a wall that was blocking her progress, a wall that was forcefully broken by something new within her.
“The path to Divinity has been forcibly opened…” Haruna murmured in shock as she saw her path open but without any Concepts yet. She was already a Goddess, but a Goddess without a Concept to wield.
She needed to understand herself to acquire her own Divinity. The passage may be open, but self-understanding was still essential.
Victor smiled widely, “The Era of True Dragons.”
Painful cries began to be heard, cries of pain that slowly turned into various unified roars that echoed throughout Victor’s Inner World and, consequently, Hell, Samar, Nightingale, and the Ancient Egyptian Pantheon connected to Victor also heard these roars.
“ROOOOOOOOOAR!”
Reality trembled and almost shattered in the face of so many powerful Beings gathering in one place.
…
Nightingale.
Hearing this roar that seemed to echo all over the planet, Vlad felt a tremor in his existence. His skin was cold, and his heart was beating very fast. He wouldn’t lie. He was scared, very scared.
“…He really did it,” Vlad said while controlling his emotions.
“Yes, indeed,” Alexios spoke while in a similar state to Vlad.
“An estimate of how many True Dragons he will have…?”
“If you take into consideration the women he is related to and that I know. More than 30, that’s for sure.”
“More than 30 True Dragons… With most of them being rather temperamental female Dragons… The world’s going to end, isn’t it?” He commented tiredly.
“Probably… But one thing is correct: only Victor can deal with so many dangerous women.”
Vlad nodded solemnly. For a moment, he tried to imagine marrying several women with a temperament equal to or worse than Scathach, and he couldn’t help but shudder. ‘This is very troublesome.’
That kind of relationship was not something he could handle. He was not abnormal like Victor, after all.
“Send my Royal Guards, calm the masses.”
“What should we say to the Leaders of the Noble Vampire Clans?”
“The truth.” Vlad saw no point in hiding information that everyone would soon know.
“As you wish, my Master.” Alexios bowed in respect and left.
