Chapter 973: Play with gods.
“Cheers!” Violet, Haruna, Amaterasu, and Hela spoke simultaneously as they clinked their glasses together.
“Fufufufu, I never expected it would be so easy to deceive the Gods. It’s quite an exhilarating experience,” Violet commented after taking a sip of wine.
“In defense of the Gods, the scheme was so well concealed that few could have noticed,” Amaterasu spoke as she sat down.
They were currently in a room in Victor’s personal Castle, located in the former Egyptian Pantheon. Now renamed by Victor to Elvenorah, the Eternal Utopia.
“How will they know they’ve been deceived if not even a hint of it was given to them?” Haruna spoke, smiling like a fox, back to her appearance as a ten-tailed Fox.
“No one knows of our involvement in the Norse Pantheon thanks to Nyx’s concealment and the closed state of the Pantheon. The only people who know about it are Hela herself… And probably the Primordials. But they don’t care enough to interfere,” Haruna commented.
“Exactly, it pains me to admit, but Nyx is the MVP of this little scheme having succeeded,” Violet displayed a small smile. Nyx’s concealment allowed everyone to do several things under the radar that made this outcome possible.
They not only gained several Races that were in the Norse Pantheon as their servants but also gained two Essences that Victor wanted and another competent ally.
Yes, even though Hela helped because of the benefits promised to her in the form of a large piece of land in Elvenorah, a place effectively well-protected where she could have her peace back and finally feel the sun, while also gaining various Divine Resources from Victor himself, as well as the resources she excavated from the Norse Pantheon, she was now considered an ally.
Despite the pain of not being able to get the Dwarves and the Elves, she was still quite satisfied with this outcome.
And even though she wasn’t as experienced in doing things as the Dwarves were or had skilled Artisans like the Elves, she could still buy those services for a cheaper price than the Dwarves used to charge her in the past, all because she was an ally of Victor.
Honestly, the benefits of aligning with Victor were so numerous that she would have been stupid to refuse, especially after she saw that ‘other’ Victor who could be described as Victor’s future.
The Emperor’s future was promising, and she definitely wanted to be around… But that was a plan for the future. She wanted to spend at least 50 years doing nothing, just enjoying the dying screams of Odin’s family, and who knew? Occasionally, she might even provoke the other Gods of Asgard that she kidnapped.
Another reason she received such a large area to make her home was precisely that. She not only had her private soldiers, but also the Norse Gods she subdued in the war.
She felt eager when she thought about doing various malevolent things with these Gods. Even though they didn’t directly affect her suffering, like Odin’s family and her father, she would still do things to them. After all, she was a Goddess, and the specialty of Gods was being petty, and she was no different.
Even if she didn’t have a direct relationship with these Gods, they still laughed at her, still scorned her, and on top of that, they called her various names that she still remembered to this day.
So, Yes, the Goddess would have quite a bit of fun with these lords and ladies. She had a long list of crap she needed to vent.
As she enjoyed her wine and celebrated her victory, her eyes returned to the city in the distance that could be seen from the castle window.
‘Come to think of it, this place is a mix of four different Mythologies: the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Shintoists, and now the Norse. It’s a great blend of Beings with different thoughts… I wonder how the city is.’ Hela felt quite curious now.
“Yes, it is… Because of that, she’s being spoiled now…” Amaterasu looked away and glanced at Victor, who was holding Nyx in his lap, pampering her.
It was worth noting that she was very jealous of the satisfied expression on the Primordial Goddess’s face, but she didn’t comment on it because she knew Nyx really had worked hard these past two months.
But even though she had worked so hard, Amaterasu was still jealous because the ‘reward’ Nyx received was something no one else here received. She wasn’t being taken care of in bed by Victor, but rather, it was happening in her mind.
This was all thanks to Victor’s new Dreamwalker ability that he acquired by consuming the Essence of Dreams.
Amaterasu didn’t know what kind of effects the Essence of Madness caused in Victor, but she didn’t care about that now. She wanted the same treatment as Nyx! Her body demanded it!
“Well, just ignore that for now and let her have her reward,” Violet spoke. “For now, let’s enjoy the fact that all of Darling’s plans have succeeded and enjoy this peace.”
It was not like Violet didn’t want the same treatment as Nyx, but she knew she would get that treatment eventually. After all, her Darling would ensure that for her.
In fact, she would ensure that treatment for herself later. She was his Empress, after all, and it was her right to demand affection from her Husband and be spoiled by him.
‘Now that things are heading in a good direction, I think it’s time to assume the position of the First Royal Wife…’ Violet’s eyes gleamed with cunning as she touched her stomach.
‘I should involve Sasha and Ruby in this, too. After all, if they don’t get it, they’ll spend eternity pointing out that fact.’ She knew her friends well enough to understand how petty and annoying they could be when they wanted to be.
“You’re right… Enjoying the peace is essential,” Amaterasu said.
“And so, Hela. Have you considered my offer?”
Hela, who was drinking her wine, paused for a few seconds when she heard Violet’s voice and looked at the Dragoness. “… Aren’t you supposed to be a Jealous Empress or something? Why are you offering this to me…?” Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and this wasn’t an alcohol-induced reaction. Even though this wine was strong enough to knock out a Goddess, she hadn’t drunk enough to intoxicate herself.
“Huh? Are you mistaking me for Hera or something?” Violet laughed. She wouldn’t lie; if this had happened before, she would have been very annoyed by this development. But not now, not when everything was going well, and they had become much stronger thanks to the numerous competent people by their side.
Everything they had now was not only achieved through Victor’s efforts but also through the efforts of many competent women. If it weren’t for Aphrodite’s connections, Scathach’s training, Ruby, Sasha, and her own decision to allow all of this, and several other competent women who supported her Husband day and night like Helena and the Demon Wives, this Faction wouldn’t have grown to what it was now.
Victor became what he is by connecting with her, Ruby, and Sasha. Later on, he became the warrior he is by connecting with Scathach. He became an even more abnormal existence when he met Roxanne and subsequently became a True Dragon by making a Contract with Zaladrac, the lazy True Dragon who valued him greatly.
If it weren’t for the numerous influential women, many things wouldn’t have happened to culminate in the Faction they had now. Therefore, no, Violet had no problem offering these things to competent women.
And Hela fell into this category of competent women by a wide margin. Violet felt that Hela’s influence would be very positive in their group, which was why she made the ‘invitation’.
Long ago, she stopped leaving things to chance or for Victor to develop. She was his Empress, the woman who would always be by his side. It was up to her to help her Husband as much as she could, and this sentiment was shared by all the Wives.
… This had nothing to do with the fact that she internally wished to see Hela’s mature and cold facade broken by Victor in bed or something… She definitely wasn’t as perverted as Natashia or her mother.
“You are a competent woman, and I foresee that your influence will greatly benefit our group. And it is because of that I am inviting you.”
Hela remained silent; Violet’s words didn’t strike her as odd. After all, she was a Goddess, and primarily a Norse one. Even if she hadn’t touched anyone yet because of her being… Well, her. She wasn’t uncomfortable with the topic. After all, she had lived for thousands of years and knew how these things worked.
And to be honest, she kind of wished…
“Haah~. D-Darling, not here, let me rest…” Nyx grumbled as Victor stroked her long hair.
Okay, she definitely wanted what Nyx was receiving, but! She was not desperate for it! She wanted her peace first and to enjoy her revenge… At least, that’s how she justified it.
Hela didn’t want to admit that she was afraid to take a step into the unknown. After all, she had no experience in this kind of matter.
“Stop overthinking it, Hela. Sometimes, just taking a leap of faith is what matters in the end,” Haruna spoke, completely understanding Hela’s inhibitions.
Hela remained silent but didn’t say anything more and just silently drank her wine.
