Chapter 1006: Class With Teacher Jeanne.
[Victor Weismann note: In this chapter, I will call Victor's Daughters after their Mothers so as not to confuse readers. Enjoy.]
"Children, welcome to Professor Jeanne's class." Jeanne smiled gently. She was wearing black flats, a black skirt, and a white dress shirt, but instead of looking professional, she looked more like an extremely hot teacher. After all, her suit did nothing to hide her voluptuous body.
"Hello, Teacher Jeanne!!" Her class shouted in unison.
Jeanne nodded in satisfaction when she saw her children. The smaller children were sitting in the front, and those who developed quickly due to various reasons sat in the back.
"My assistant today is a Goddess well known to you, the Mother Goddess, Rhea." Jeanne looked at the woman sitting next to her.
Rhea got up from her chair and softly said with a gentle smile, "Hello, girls."
"Hellooo!"
Nodding satisfied again, Jeanne continues. "Today's class is about a very important subject..."
The Daughters looked attentively at Jeanne as she waited for her next words.
Jeanne snapped her fingers, and a hologram appeared on the board, showing the bodies of a man and a woman.
"How are Gods reproduced? And what is the difference between a God and a Mortal? Today, we will learn."
"Ohhh!"
"Umu, I know you are anxious, but please remain polite... You don't want to be punished, right~?"
Some girls shuddered when they heard those words. The ones who shuddered the most were the girls that were the more impetuous ones and the ones who disobeyed orders.
"To start this class, let's start from the beginning. What is the main difference between a God and a Mortal?"
"On this particular issue, I will leave it to Lady Rhea to speak. She has more ownership in this than I do." Jeanne looked at Rhea.
Rhea nodded and then began to speak, "If I asked you the same question that Lady Jeanne said, how would you answer me?"
Rhea briefly glanced at the group of more than 30 girls and pointed to a group of white-haired girls. They were Leona's, Agnes's, and Violet's Daughters, respectively.
Due to their Mothers' characteristics, the three girls looked like triplets, the only difference being their hair color, which changed between shades of snow white and silver.
"You three, how would you answer that question?"
The three shivered slightly and instinctively looked at each other. They whispered to each other for a few seconds, and then the one in the middle was a more serious little girl.
"Huuh, a God is stronger than a Mortal and cannot die of old age?" Agnes' Daughter responded.
"Hmm, that answer is not exactly wrong, but at the same time, it is not correct." Rhea nodded.
"But ultimately, for the sake of this question, that answer is wrong."
"Ugh."
"After all, Lady Jeanne's question was… What is the MAIN difference between a Mortal and a God?"
"Power? Longevity? These things can be acquired by other means, but there is one thing that no Mortal can acquire by cheating... Unless, of course, you are Victor."
Hearing their Father's name, a collective warm smile spread around the room. Before the girls started talking and lost focus on the class, Rhea continued:
"The main difference between a Mortal and a God... Is the Soul."
Jeanne snapped her fingers, and a hologram appeared in front of the group. This hologram showed two bodies, one was very blurry, and the other was very defined.
"If I asked you now what the Soul of a God is, would you know how to answer?"
The two girls glanced between each other lightly and nodded, then turned back to Rhea.
"Exactly." Rhea smiled. "Now, what is the difference between these Souls?"
"The more defined Soul is the Soul of a God." Aphrodite and Ruby's Daughters spoke at the same time.
The two girls glanced between each other lightly and nodded, then turned back to Rhea.
"Exactly." Rhea smiled. "Now, what is the difference between these Souls?"
Jeanne snapped her fingers again, and a new Soul appeared on the hologram this time. This Soul was much more robust and defined, and unlike the humanoid Soul, this Soul was clearly a Dragon.
Then another Soul appeared, but unlike the others, this Soul was just... A conjunction of black, white, and something else. It had no defined shape, but it was definitely a Soul.
"Can you tell what they are?"
"The Soul of a Dragon?" Pepper's daughter commented cutely.
"Correct. Just like Gods, Dragon Souls are naturally robust and much stronger than Mortals, and in some cases, Elder Dragon Souls can be even stronger than Gods... For example, an Ancient Dragon like Zaladrac has a Soul much stronger than a Second-Generation Primordial God."
"This same example happens when a Dragon gains Divinity, its Soul becomes even more robust and powerful, much stronger than the other Gods, second only to Beings like the Primordials, and of course... the last Soul demonstrated." Rhea looked at Jeanne.
As this exchange took place, the girls had the realization that their Souls were much stronger than Primordial Gods, a random thought that had an instantaneous effect on them all.
'Well, we are our Daddy's Daughters, so it's understandable.' They thought at the same time.
"I'll take it from here," Jeanne spoke. "The last Soul you are seeing is Victor's Soul."
Hearing their Father's name, the Daughters became even more attentive.
"His Soul has no form, thus, can take any form it wants. While he has no form, his Soul is much more powerful than anything in Creation. It would not be an exaggeration to say that even the Primordials do not have a Soul like his."
They swallowed hard.
'Daddy is amazing!' They reinforced this thought again.
"How do we know?? Victor is an anomaly. He is a God who has the Highest Divinities available for him to use, not to mention that he represents all the Gods who use Negative Energy as fuel. They call him the Emperor, but that Title may be too small for the magnitude of what he represents."
"It would not be an exaggeration to call him the Supreme God, a God above all other Gods."
"Probably, the only one who could have a Soul similar to Victor's is Yog."
Victor's Daughters looked at Yog with a slight trace of jealousy and envy in their eyes.
The black-haired, black-eyed girl just scratched her head, slightly embarrassed by the look on her Sisters' faces.
"Most likely, the only one who could have a Soul almost 'equal' to Victor's would be my Sister and Mother of Yog, Azathoth."
"Even Azathoth doesn't have a Soul as powerful as Victor's. As I said before, Victor is an anomaly, there will be no one like him in this lifetime."
Jeanne was not stroking Victor's ego to her Daughters but simply stating facts. As an Outer God and, at the same time, a God of the Highest Order Cosmologically, Victor's Soul was one of the strongest, if not the strongest Soul, out there. After all, he was holding three Dimensions within him.
His gigantic Personal World, Hell, and The City of Velnorah.
Each of these Dimensions were gigantic, vastly larger than Planet Earth. As an example, Victor's world is a mega planet that even has its own sun.
"Back to the explanation. Gods have a stronger Soul than Mortals because their Souls are being fed by the Concepts they exercise. These Concepts have another name by which we use ourselves, and that name is <Divinities>", Rhea explained again.
"A God can die, but if their Concept exists and their Soul is not destroyed, they will simply be reborn in a few years. Of course, this resurrection can be hastened by various other methods, but we are not talking about that here now."
"Unlike Demons, who are bound to the Hell in which they came into existence, Gods have no such bond. As long as the Concept exists, they can be reborn."
Rhea looked at Jeanne, and she nodded.
She snapped her finger, and the hologram changed again. Soon, two stars, one white and one red were seen, and around them were hundreds of other stars that looked more like meteorites due to their tiny size.
"What you are seeing now is how Divinity works. The two giant spheres are the two Primordials that are in a state of semi-consciousness: the Primordial of Positivity and the Primordial of Negativity." Jeanne, who had more knowledge about this, began to explain.
"The meteorites orbiting these two stars are the Divine Concepts which are powered by these two Primordials."
"98% of existence is fueled by these two Primordials."
"The remaining 2% are the Domains of other Primordials that were separated from these two Primordials, for example, Concepts such as The End, Death, Life, Reincarnation, Soul, Balance, Infinity, etc. They are Concepts that receive Energy from other Primordial Ones."
"...Mother, are you implying that Daddy has influence on 50% of Creation just by being a God of Negativity...?" Scathach's Daughter asked in disbelief.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying, although this percentage is a little higher. After all, he is also a God of Beginnings, which only loses in terms of Class to Positivity."
"Incredible…" The girls murmured in disbelief. They now understood the 'greatness' of their Father's influence.
"Continuing." Jeanne snapped her finger, and soon, another change occurred in the hologram, showing two robust Souls clearly belonging to Gods.
"Now that you know the basics of how Divinity works, and the difference between a Mortal, a God, and abnormal Beings like Victor, let's move on to the next topic."
"How does a God procreate to birth another God?" Jeanne looked at Rhea.
The Daughters listened intently for their next lesson.
Rhea nodded. "Contrary to what you perverted brats think, a carnal act is not exactly necessary for the creation of a new God."
The holograms of the two Souls touched each other's hands, and the energy of the two Souls began to merge. In the next moment, a new tiny Soul was born near the two.
"The reproduction of Gods happens when two powerful Souls unite through an act of trust that can be done in various ways, and from this union, a new Being comes into existence. Through this act, basic knowledge such as who you are, which Divinities you have, who your parents are, the language your parents speak, etc., is automatically transferred by the Soul. This is a very similar process that happens with True Dragons without Divinity, but at the same time it is very different."
'Yes, but practicing the carnal act is always better. After all, it is at that moment that the Souls are deeply fused with each other... And the process is very good, too.' Jeanne thought absently but didn't say it out loud. After all, she knew that these girls knew this too, but it was always good to give new options, not to mention that this wasn't the entire focus of this lesson.
"After all, unlike a Mortal True Dragon, you didn't need to be born from an egg. As Gods, you are already born as Divine Children." Rhea continued.
"That's why you were born as a child and didn't have to go through the complicated process of leaving your Mother's womb and growing up as a baby. Or spend thousands of years in an egg."
"...Wait, does that mean we are not our Father's Blood Daughters?" Haruna's daughter asked.
"There is no such thing as blood for Gods, my dear Daughter. Remember, we are not Mortals. We are Gods." Jeanne raised her hand and then cut her wrist.
Different from red blood, what came out was liquidized golden Energy.
"As Dragon Gods, our bodies are made entirely of pure Energy, so pure that it takes on this liquid form... Of course, because we are Dragons, things like our hearts, bones, lungs, and general structure that make up a Dragon remain since they are one of our strengths."
"A Dragon's Heart is our body's battery, our bones sustain our existence and allow for better Energy transfer, our gigantic body can be used as a weapon and to better exploit our Energy Forms, and our lungs allow us to use our Breath even in Humanoid Form."
Jeane blew, and golden flames erupted out of her mouth.
"The same goes for normal Gods." Rhea cut her wrist, and a golden liquid came out of her body. "We may appear as Humans, but we are not Human. The entire structure and existence of our body depends on our Soul. For the Gods, their 'real' body is their Soul, and the body is just the projection of that Soul and one of its natural shields."
"Even though I'm not exactly a normal God, but rather a Titan, this rule still applies to me too, and to the other Gods. Unless you're something abnormal like a Dragon that is compatible with everything in existence, the same must apply to other Gods as well."
"But you must always be careful. After all, there are many strange things out there. Caution when dealing with Gods is always necessary and when in doubt, blow the whole place to ashes and get out of there as quickly as possible," Rhea said.
Noticing the girls' still dissatisfied look, Rhea understood the problem and said:
"... But don't worry. You are indeed Daughters of Victor, despite not being Daughters by blood. After all, you are not Human; you are Daughters of his Soul because if it weren't for the mixing of your Father's Soul with your Mother's, you would not have come into being."
The girls sighed in relief.
Rhea shook her head at this collective sigh. 'They are very passionate about their 'Daughter' status.'
"Do you know how Yog was born?" Jeanne asked next.
Most of the girls shook their heads in denial.
Jeanne looked at YoG, indicating for her to continue the conversation.
"My Mother took Father's and her own Essence and combined them with her Powers to create me", Yol replied.
"Ohhh..."
Jeanne immediately continued: "Powerful Beings who can control the Soul like your Father are capable of creating new Beings simply if they so choose. Your Father can take the Soul of an ant and transform that ant into a Being as powerful as a God just by changing its Race or a completely different animal just by altering the structure of its Soul."
"This manipulation does not stop there. If Victor so wishes, he can create Soul Abominations by joining several Souls together and creating a chimera, but such an act would probably attract the wrath of the Primordials, something that needs to be avoided for now."
"In front of Victor, an ordinary talentless Human could become one of the most talented Humans to ever exist just because he altered a small structure of their Soul."
"Victor's only impediment is transforming Beings into Gods, which is impossible. After all, every Mortal Being needs self-discovery to reach this state."
'Well, that's not necessarily true. Victor predicted that as a Representative of Negativity, as long as he had proficiency in that Divinity, he could 'give' Divinities to other people as long as that Divinity fed on the Negative Energy... But I won't say that now since they don't need to know.' Jeanne thought.
Not to mention that this theory has yet to be proven, and even if he could give Divinity, the Divinity may be much weaker than the individual themselves achieving Enlightenment. After all, Divinity is Awakened according to the individual's personality and unconscious desires.
"But don't get me wrong, this act may seem easy for Victor, but any mistake can cause irreversible damage to a Being. The Soul is a very delicate thing. It is the center of your existence, after all."
"Do you understand now why your Father and us Mothers always emphasize on you protecting your Souls and the dangers of leaving it unprotected as it is now?
The girls felt a chill run down their spines and immediately used the teachings their parents taught them at a young age to completely protect their Souls.
Jeanne laughed gently. "Don't worry. Darling is a very overprotective man, and he made sure that your Souls were completely protected. If any enemy wants to harm your Souls, they will first have to get past the countless defenses that he has placed in your Souls, as well as needing to defeat the Fragments of his own Soul that he has placed in you."
"If an enemy tries to read or harm your Soul... They will be in for a very unpleasant surprise."
'After all, the Fragment of an Eldritch God would be waiting for them there, and even if it is a 'Fragment', that is a Fragment from Victor's perspective. With a Soul as strong as his, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he placed a Soul equivalent of a Primordia
