Chapter 941: The Prophecy? That is bullshit.
Back to Nightingale.
Victor returned to the room where his Wives were, and this time, he came in person instead of being a projection. However, he didn't come alone; Anna was by his side, accompanying him like a devoted Wife, even holding his arm.
Such closeness did not go unnoticed by the women in the room. Violet flashed a knowing smile at Anna, a smile that made Anna roll her eyes, slightly embarrassed. Clearly, the two seemed to have come to a conclusion about something.
This exchange made Aphrodite slightly uncomfortable. As a social butterfly, she always wanted to know everything, especially when it concerned her best friend. Knowing that Violet and Anna discussed something private that made Anna get closer to Victor was unforgivable! She wanted to know!
Despite noticing this subtle exchange of glances, Victor didn't comment on it. Instead, he acted as if nothing was wrong and asked.
"So? What do you plan to do?" As his Heralds were at Nyx's side now, he had a complete grasp of what was happening in the Norse Pantheon.
These words made the women pay attention to Victor. Looking at the man, who was wearing a completely black suit with black gloves, they became curious. Unlike what they had expected, Victor didn't seem to want to interfere in this conflict.
"... Unexpected. You seem to have no interest." Scathach spoke.
"Oh... I'm definitely interested, my Wife... But if there's one thing I've realized when dealing with the Supernatural, it's that I have some sort of negative karma. No matter what situation I get involved in, that situation tends to become even more chaotic than it already was." Victor replied as he walked towards the women, then sat down on the sofa.
Anna sat obediently next to him while adjusting her long red dress, a dress different from her usual colors.
A modern woman like her liked modern clothes more, but she took a liking to dresses produced by Nightingale, which, in essence, were modern dresses. An interesting fact was that although Nightingale's buildings had not been modernized much and remained in the style of the old Victorian era, the products sold were relatively modern but in keeping with old tastes.
It was a fusion of distinct but strangely compatible eras and had its own unique sense of fashion. Even Violet, Sasha, and Ruby, who were modern girls, wore these dresses, even though they were medium-length dresses, not long ones like Anna's.
"...Now that you say it, that's true..." Sasha spoke as she sneakily approached Victor, sat beside him, and began hugging him.
It was a gesture that made a gentle smile appear on Victor's face, making him begin to stroke her hair. The eyebrows of the surrounding girls twitched slightly at this sneaky woman.
"Darling has the destiny of a manga protagonist. He's destined to get into trouble." She smiled with amusement as she melted with Victor's caresses.
"Trouble never stopped you from doing something, Victor." Said Aphrodite, and then she asked: "Why the sudden change?"
"Yes, indeed." Victor nodded, then continued, completely ignoring Aphrodite's question: "But do I really need to do something?"
His violet eyes looked at the surrounding women, his gentle gaze making the hearts of the surrounding girls melt.
"I have very competent Wives. I'm sure they will always guarantee our Family's interests, no matter the conflict or situation, no?"
Victor's words brought a smile to all of them present, even the coldest women like Velnorah and Ruby. Although, with the latter, everyone knew that she was just cold towards those who were not Family, while Velnorah was more pragmatic in general.
"Your words are sweet, Darling. But would you really do nothing and leave everything to us?"
"That is correct." Victor nodded. "The information I acquire from the bearers of my Will will be given to you, and you can decide what to do. I will not interfere."
"On the other hand... I will talk to Hela." Victor spoke as he looked at Hela.
'I knew it.' Violet, Scathach, Ruby, Sasha, Aphrodite, and Eleonor thought at the same time. Only in those moments did the girls' thoughts completely synchronize.
They now knew that this simple conversation with Hela would trigger several problems for the Norse Pantheon... They felt a little sorry for Odin, though this feeling was the same size as an ant, almost non-existent.
"... The existence of the brothers is interesting, isn't it? Two brothers who are Gods of The Emd, and a sister who has an especially strong connection to Death and Time."
"That's true... The existence of the three is quite unique; not even in the Highest Sectors is such an occurrence common... Which leads to the question I'm desperate to know... Are they special because of their destiny, or because they were born to special parents?" Velnorah questioned.
"Loki and his wife, Angrboda... I want to dissect them." Velnorah's eyes glittered with desire. magic
The surrounding women shrank slightly from this mad scientist. "You cannot." Ruby firmly denied it.
Velnorah growled in annoyance, making noises that sounded more sad than angry.
Victor smiled gently as he made Sasha lie down on the couch while stroking her hair, a treatment that made the eyes of Anna, Violet, and Ruby, who were watching from the side, glow slightly in desire.
"When Ragnarok comes to pass, the moon and sun will be swallowed by the sons of Fenrir, the battle of Jormungandr and Thor, along with the battle of Fenrir and Odin, will be so intense that it will alter the structure of Space and Time, sending the three Beings into the past."
"Despite this intense battle that will alter the structure of Space and Time, the future will still be bleak. Ragnarok must occur because just as the Universe has an End, a story must also have an End in order to have a Beginning."
"...Those words...I remember hearing that somewhere." Aphrodite narrowed her eyes as she tried to search her memories. Although she had a perfect memory, she had been around for so long that it was difficult to have an exact reference of what to look for.
"This is a Prophecy, a Prophecy given by The Sisters of Fate," Victor spoke.
"Oh, that's true, it's one of those three bitches." Aphrodite remembered when she heard Victor's words, groaning in annoyance. All this talk of Destiny and Prophecy was just nonsense.
At first, she even believed it, but when dealing with the Gods of another Pantheon, especially Ptah, a Primordial God of The Egyptian Pantheon, she was sure that Destiny and Prophecy were bullshit.
Destiny had not yet been written. It was you who made destiny, and the reason why the words of these Gods who could see the future came to fruition was because when they spoke these words to paranoid Beings like Zeus and Odin, they would readily walk towards said 'future'.
When people say that those Destinies only became a reality due to the God King's paranoia, it is quite accurate.
"... Aren't The Sisters of Fate from the Greek Pantheon?" Scathach asked, confused.
"Yes, indeed. But just like me and my dear Wife, these Gods can also observe possible futures, whether from their own Pantheon or from other Pantheons. Because of this, the God-Kings invest absurd amounts of resources in protections against Clairvoyance so that these Gods do not observe the future and gain possible information about their rivals."
"...In the past, when the sisters foretold this Prophecy, the Norse Pantheon was going through a civil war, and because of that, the Dimension's defenses were low."
"Don't overthink it; this Prophecy is pure nonsense. After all, as a God of The End, Fenrir cannot have a child." Aphrodite grunted in annoyance, "Although the words saying that the fight will be so intense that it will cause damage across Space and Time is quite worrying." She reflected.
"That's true. Time and Space are not something so fragile that they can be broken so easily," Amaterasu supported.
"Well, that's not necessarily true," Victor spoke gently.
"That is not true," Velnorah said the same thing in a more pragmatic tone.
The two looked at each other and then smiled slightly as Velnorah looked back at the group and said: "In normal cases, Time and Space would not be broken so easily, but we are talking about two battles in close proximity to each other involving two Gods of the End, Beings that can erase everything, even the Space around them."
"Their battle could be so intense that even unintentionally, it would cause damage to the surrounding Space and Time."
"The mere fact that we are saying that Odin and Thor will fight two Gods of The End is ridiculous. They don't seem that strong." Eleanor said.
"It's not about strength, Honey." Victor smiled gently. "It is about compatibility between Divine Concepts and strategy."
"In a battle with Fenrir, for example, as long as you dodge his claw attacks, his bite, and Power blasts coming from his mouth, the difficulty level is the same as fighting any beast that can fight a High-Ranking God."
"And with my current training, he might be a little more competent than usual, but his level hasn't changed that much."
'Of course… if he uses the tactics I taught him and catches his enemy by surprise by decreasing his size and fighting in Humanoid Form, the difficulty level rises to the level of a Second-Generation Primordial God.' Victor thought. Everyone knew that when dealing with an opponent with problematic Powers such as Fenrir, it was more difficult fighting a humanoid opponent than the same opponent as a giant wolf with several exposed areas to attack.
"From what I observed of Jormungandr, he has the same problem as Fenrir. As long as the enemies of these Beings are able to dodge their End-covered attacks, he will not be a problematic opponent, mainly due to his enormous body. With a target that large, there are plenty of places where the Thunder God can attack and cause damage."
'In fact, he might be even easier than Fenrir due to his huge body… Although, this is just guesswork. Jormungandr's poison is quite well known, though I don't know if this poison can even affect himself.' Victor could be confident with Fenrir's Power because he once fought him, but the same could not be said of Jormungandr.
"And given how cautious Odin is, I'm sure he and Thor trained exclusively to fight their 'Destined' enemies." Victor's tone became ironic when he spoke about Fate.
Divinity." He explained.
"Fighting a God of The Emd is the same thing as a Mortal Human fighting a God. A "What makes Creatures of The End so fearsome is not their strength, but their Divinity." He explained.
"Fighting a God of The Emd is the same thing as a Mortal Human fighting a God. A single mistake can lead to the complete erasure of their existence." "Therefore, as long as you take necessary precautions, subduing the two Gods and even sealing them is not that difficult."
Killing a God of The End was impossible. How were you going to kill the one who exercises the Concept of The End of Everything? Only Death himself could kill these Gods... But you can erase a God of The ENd if an opposing force is exerted.
With the Divinity of Beginnings, it is possible to give these Beings a fresh start, essentially killing them so they can begin a new journey.
It is quite confusing, but that is how everything in Creation is: some confusing nonsense made by the Primordials, and now they have to try to make sense of it, or they can't deal with their problems.
"I see... Now, I understand exactly what we are dealing with." Eleonor nodded. When she heard Victor's explanation, she understood the dangers of Beings who wielded the Concept of The End.
"To be honest, I find Typhon to be much more problematic to deal with than Fenrir or Jormungandr. After all, Typhon's entire outer layer is completely covered in End Energy, thus making it essentially invulnerable to virtually anything other than its opposite Concept... Although it is quite easy to deal with as long as you have a lot of Energy to spend like me."
Due to the lack of consciousness of the irrational monster who only acted on instinct, if you threw him into the void between Dimensions where there was nothing, he would remain there forever until he was lucky enough to find a new Dimension.
Something that could not be done with Fenrir and Jormungandr because they were more intelligent and would know how to use their Divine Powers to look for a new Dimension to enter.
The only reason Typhon listened to Gaia was that he was programmed to do so from the beginning by the Goddess herself since he was actually a weapon designed to kill Zeus.
Of course, Victor didn't doubt that there was also a small part that was from Gaia being a Mother Goddess or how she 'loved' her son. Also, because Typhon's consciousness was relatively small, he could be considered a child who would listen to his mother, but he knew that the biggest reason was that Gaia programmed him that way.
"In the future, when dealing with Gods of The End, look for their weaknesses and dodge all their attacks. Don't be arrogant; their bodies can be extremely strong, but for a God of The End, our body is like paper."
"This same advice applies to our future enemies. Only an arrogant fool would accept an enemy's attack when we know nothing about them."
"Protect your minds with your future Divinities and your Souls with the same. In a High-Level battle, it is not your body that is most fragile, but your Soul and your consciousness." He advised with a very serious expression.
As a man who fought against three Elder Gods at the same time, Victor had a lot of authority to talk about this, and the surrounding girls thoroughly listened to his advice.
"Don't worry, Darling. We will not forget this advice." Violet spoke for the girls.
Victor looked around, and seeing the women's serious expressions, he nodded, satisfied. "Good... Just in case something terrible happens, I will do something... A system... A system so that even if your physical body dies in the confrontation with the enemy, your Soul will be protected and returned to me so I can revive you."
Expecting your Soul to go to Hell or Heaven is quite foolish. Victor realized this after gaining even more awareness about Creation. From the moment a Soul enters the 'System' created by the Primordials, that dead Soul would be marked.
And no one would mark the Soul of his Wives. They are his, mind, body, and Soul.
And Victor already had a plan for how to accomplish this; everything would depend on the Soul Marriage. 'I must marry all my Wives as soon as possible… Maybe the next time we sleep together, I will bring this up.' Victor thought.
"...Do you plan to interfere in the Primordial's Domain...?" Velnorah asked in disbelief.
"No one will take the Souls of my Wives and Daughters, not even the damned Primordials." The conviction and distorted voice caused by his Cosmic Horror Form caused a terrible chill in all the women present while their hearts beat faster with great excitement.
This possessiveness made their insides warm in more ways than one; they felt sweet from his affection and love, as well as turned on by his desire to keep them for himself.
Yes, they weren't normal, but everyone already knew that from the beginning.
Even Velnorah and Amaterasu, who were newcomers in this whole abyss of possessive and insane love, were not left out.
"Darling... You can't talk like that..." Violet placed both hands on her cheeks. Her face was flushed, and she breathed hot air heavily, while her eyes looked like two violet black holes. "You are making me very excited~."
Victor's expression changed to a gentle smile upon seeing her face. Even after so long, Violet never changed; her essence had remained the same since the first day he met her.
Victor gestured with his finger, and Violet floated from where she was standing into his lap. Immediately, the woman hugged him as she sniffed his neck heavily.
Victor stroked her hair. "Never change, Violet... Never change."
"Humph, I won't. Everything I do is for Darling. All this boring work, all these responsibilities, it's all for Darling... and our Family, of course."
"I know... I know everything, all your efforts, all your struggles. After all, I'm always watching." His eyes went to Ruby, Scathach, Aphrodite, Eleonor, and Sasha, making the women shudder slightly as they understood the implications of his words.
In the next moment, the women's expressions became more flushed, much like Violet's, as they began to burn with desire!
Looking at this, Velnorah and Amaterasu just shook their heads internally, wondering if one day they would look like this too.
Little did they know how correct they were about these thoughts.
On the other hand, Anna just observed everything with slightly calculating, and gentle looks. Thoughts were running through her head, thoughts that only she knew.
...
