Chapter 966: Foolish Beings.
“Are you done?” Kaguya asked curiously when she saw Victor standing in silence.
“Yes,” Victor nodded as he pulled Kaguya into his arms and began to stroke her head.
The eyes of Pepper, Lacus, and Siena gleamed slightly at this display of intimacy. They wanted that too!
“Why were you so serious that you even fell silent? What did Hela say to you?” Kaguya asked a simple question with a complex feeling, admitting that she was curious about something was difficult for Kaguya.
The reason for this was due to the fact that she was raised as a servant, always accepting the will of her ‘Master,’ a custom that hadn’t died even after she became Victor’s Wife, something she was actively trying to change much more.
However, her essence wouldn’t change so easily since, at the end of the day, she was a Maid. That was her job for most of her life, and it could also be said that it was her greatest hobby, and she took pleasure in serving her Husband.
As a Maid, she always strived for perfection, but recently, she found herself trying to be a more dominant Maid-Wife.
‘Maid-Wife… hehehehe~’ She smiled obscenely internally while her expression, in reality, remained as cold as ever.
“I found out some things about Creation, which led me to reflect on this discovery,” Victor replied, remembering that the conversation he had with Hela was private, and not even Roxanne and Amara knew about this conversation.
A choice Victor made of his own free will, as there were things his Wives didn’t need to know. The fact that there was another Victor who was taking care of them as a whole was one of those things. After all, it was better for these things involving Creation to be only spoken about when they had enough understanding of Creation… It definitely wasn’t because he was jealous and possessive.
Definitely not. He wasn’t that petty.
“…I see. Is it something important?” Kaguya asked while snuggling into his body.
These words made him look at her a little surprised. After his supercomputer-like brain analyzed her question, he quickly gained his answer.
A smile appeared on Victor’s face, and he said, “No… It’s not particularly important.”
And it definitely wasn’t. That was a problem for his future self, not him now. Just like the moment he became a Noble Vampire and had a whole new Supernatural World to discover, the same was happening now. He just discovered that something much bigger was happening out there, and unfortunately, he had no means to interfere with it now.
It was pointless to think about the unpredictable future, so he must focus on the present. After all, the journey towards the goal was as important as the goal itself, and his current goal was to prepare for the transition of his Sector to a Higher-Level Sector where there were several Beings as powerful as the Highest-Ranked Gods in his world.
Who knows? There might even be someone as strong as him. It shouldn’t be impossible, considering the Universe is a vast place.
As a wise man once said: Enjoy the journey, young ones! Because it is what makes us who we are in the future.
‘Well, it’s comforting to know that my other self is protecting everyone. It proves that even in the future, I won’t change,’ Victor nodded, satisfied. For him, that was the most important.
Regardless of the dangers he faces, regardless of what kind of Being he becomes, he didn’t want to lose his Essence. The Essence of what made Victor… Well, Victor.
“I see… So there’s no need to dwell on it, right?” Kaguya spoke as she snuggled into him.
“Indeed,” Victor smiled.
Pepper sneakily approached Victor and hugged him. Due to her transformation into a True Dragon, she wasn’t as short in height as before. One could say her current appearance was much more similar to a mature woman than she was… Although her ‘innocent’ attitude continued as always, that was Pepper’s Essence after all.
Victor looked at Pepper and smiled gently as he began to stroke her head too. Pepper showed him a big, satisfied smile and snuggled closer to him. For a few seconds, she breathed deeply as if she wanted to fully inhale Victor’s scent, and then she became even more comfortable.
She didn’t know why Victor brought out her lazy side, but she didn’t care about that now. She just wanted to be close to him.
Siena and Lacus looked at this with jealous glances. They wanted that too!
Seeing their expressions, Victor couldn’t help but smile. He didn’t know if it was because of the Dragon Race influencing the girls or if they naturally developed to become like this, but lately, there’d been a constant healthy competition for his attention.
His extremely competent Wives did everything to perform their work as expertly as possible, and when they finished, they came seeking ‘praise’ or ‘affection’ from him. Usually, the latter involved more spicy activities.
Victor opened his left arm and looked at Siena and Lacus. A simple gesture that the girls immediately understood as they promptly jumped on him and snuggled up to him as if he were a giant plush toy. They even decreased their heights proportionally until they reached 160 CM in height.
A gesture that didn’t go unnoticed by Pepper, who promptly used her Powers to revert to her previous height and hugged him even tighter.
Watching this ‘rosy’ moment for some reason, Hela, Goddess of The Norse Underworld who held the Concepts of Death and Time, felt quite… Unjustified.
Her stomach churned at the sight, and she felt like she had eaten a giant pink cake with plenty of sugar. It was so lovely, and it was disgusting! And she wanted that for herself!
She wanted this pink-filled moment, full of love, something utterly different from her tastes as a gothic Goddess of Death… Even if she wasn’t a gothic Goddess in appearance, and instead, she looked like an extremely gorgeous noble girl with long curly hair at the ends and sapphire green eyes.
‘Ugh, I shouldn’t have stayed here.’ Hela thought she was suffering more critical damage from this sight than the time she felt betrayed by her father for isolating her in Hel.
After all, this sight only pointed out what she really wanted: a family to take care of her, a family of her own. Now, she loved her siblings, and that wasn’t something any could doubt, but she knew very well that her siblings were very… Independent.
They didn’t have that feeling of ‘attachment’ she desired. Yes, Hela, the Underworld Goddess, was hungry for love and family, something completely understandable if we consider how she lived her existence.
… A solitary existence, entirely alone, where her only companions were the dead or the Souls she ‘stole’ from other Pantheons.
Beings that only treated her as a Goddess, not as someone close to them.
“Despite the destruction, this place is quite beautiful,” Siena spoke as she looked at Asgard.
“Hmm, our world is better,” Pepper pointed out.
“There’s no comparison, Pepper. Of course, our world is better; after all, it’s OUR world,” Lacus scoffed.
There was a different touch in their personal world. After all, it was their home; the whole planet was their home, and the girls were free to do whatever they wanted there. They had complete freedom in their native world.
Even if they wanted to walk around completely naked, they could. After all, on the entire planet, they were the only sentient Beings around.
Their planet was like their giant home. A home they took great care of and tried to avoid harming as much as possible. Even though they knew the world wasn’t so weak, considering that Victor was nurturing it, they still took care of it as if it were their own room or precious possessions.
Victor observed this interaction with interest, the reason being he saw a Family aura with his Home Divinity.
‘I see… It seems like the sense of unity has increased even more due to having two Home Dragon Deities around,’ Victor chuckled internally.
This was also why Hela was feeling jealous. Besides her obvious feelings, Hestia’s and Victor’s Home Divinities made their interaction seem completely livelier and comforting for someone who sincerely desired a place to call ‘home.’
‘As expected of Bestia,’ Victor laughed at the nickname Aphrodite gave her, a nickname he completely agreed with. Hestia was too kind for her own good, much like Sasha in the beginning.
[Darling, preparations are underway.]
Victor suddenly heard Violet’s voice in his head.
[How are things?] Victor asked curiously. He could personally see with his ridiculous Draconic senses, but why should he do that? He should let the women work too. Everyone should do their part; that way, the feeling of uselessness wouldn’t grow.
Not to mention, they all needed a purpose, or they’d just laze around like Pepper, Siena, and Lacus, who, most of the time, only moved actively when Victor kidnapped them, or they went to train and study to become rulers.
[The Ice and Fire Giants accepted after… Some gentle persuasion.] Violet’s voice was very gentle, even though the implications of her words weren’t.
[The Elves were more cooperative due to our Race, and they take pleasure in ‘serving us’ in the best possible way.]
[Seems they’re like Faeries, huh.]
[Yes, they’re very attached to Nature, and since we embody that, they accepted us easily. Although there were some who disagreed, something that was completely resolved with a gentle and persuasive smile from Natashia.] Violet spoke.
And Victor couldn’t help but laugh internally at that. He knew very well that his sadistic Wife was anything but gentle with those who annoyed her.
[I presume there were some issues with the Dwarves?]
[Yes, they are… Unpleasant. Honestly, I’m glad you weren’t there, or the entire Race would be extinct.]
[Oh?] Victor’s eyes shimmered slightly with a dangerous tone. [What happened?]
[They demanded Natashia’s armor to ‘research,’ and in return, they would ‘consider’ her request.]
[Heh… They really have nerve.] Victor said, and it wasn’t in a good way.
[And what happened next?]
[Nyx made them experience the ‘Eternal Night,’ and now they’re all very loyal and docile.]
The Eternal Night… A Technique derived from Nyx’s Divinity of Humanity’s fear of starless nights, a technique that made all those who experienced it vividly live through their greatest nightmares, nightmares that were completely enhanced in various points due to this Divinity.
It was worth noting that the Dwarves were really unlucky, and they probably wouldn’t ever be the same.
[Good, keep me updated, Honey. And make sure everything goes as planned.]
[Yes, Darling.]
