Chapter 1070: Agnes just did it…
Jupiter's Outskirts.
While Scathach trained the soldiers that Victor created, Velnorah analyzed the memories she received from The Seven. Seven transparent screens were in front of Velnorah. She was analyzing years of memories at high speed. With her reading and understanding abilities, such a thing was child's play for her.
Due to the time difference between The Seven and Velnorah, she was receiving information much faster than those who had been undergoing years of training.
Therefore, from her point of view, she could analyze the personalities of The Seven more easily.
"Scathach is doing an excellent job, as always. No wonder they call her The Teacher of Heroes." Velnorah praised. Everyone's progress was visible. Before, even though they had memories of the wars, they had no experience in them, but now they were all experienced.
Analyzing Conan's memories and his brutality, she thought. "I will have to adjust some of the memories they will inherit. I highly doubt that all of them will have abnormal strength like Conan from the beginning." Even by the standards of The Seven, Conan was much stronger physically. The only ones who could fight him were John and Clare.
John's answer was a combination of strength and technique, while Clare's was pure technique.
Of course, this only applied to the comparison between them. Due to being Dragonoids, they all had absurd physical strength.
"Their memories using their Draconic body will be more useful. From then on, the other clones can evolve accordingly." Velnorah understood that this stage was just a prototype. The more information they had from the Clone's experiences in the future, the more the future clones would be refined. It was a constant, long-lasting process.
"In 100... No, if we continue using the Tower of Nightmares as a training ground, in 50 years, we will have Elite Soldiers who could be used in any situation... Depending on efficiency, we can reduce this time to 3 years or less." She put her hand on her chin as she evaluated the memories. Preparing other Beings for ALL possible situations was a time-consuming task, if not impossible, to do in a short time. However, with the resources of The Empire, such a process was easy to speed up.
'I still think we should make a legion of machines to at least make the first contact in extremely dangerous environments.' After all, there was no reason to send the clones to their deaths uselessly.
For a moment, she looked at Laura's memories.
"Hmm, I understand now why he chose Laura." Observing the memories Laura was building and seeing her 'approach' to helping others and explaining things correctly.
'Her blood will give rise to a new batch of clone Operators... Maybe I should ask Darling to add the blood of my people to the mix. We are a Technological people... The mix of kindness and understanding will give rise to great operators who care about the soldiers, but not to the point of suffering for their deaths.' She thought.
Kindness was great for Operators, but too much kindness would get in the way since most of the clones would die... Although 'dying' here was not forever.
"I see, so that's why he said to make Operators with Laura's blood. He was thinking about the mental health of the clones." Understanding her Husband's intentions, Velnorah opened her personal record and said:
"Remind me to make new places of relaxation and recreation... also, remind me to focus on the War Robot Project... Also, remind me to disconnect these robots from the Empire's Servers." The possibility of Beings like her who could use Technology easily couldn't be ruled out, so additional security was necessary.
"Accepted." The Artificial Intelligence in Velnorah's suit responded.
Despite having perfect recall, Velnorah often got so focused on her projects that she would forget to do other things. This peculiarity was something that Ruby and Aline also had in common.
Turning her attention back to the soldiers themselves, she spoke to herself. "In 10 minutes, their training will be complete. Combining these memories with the memories of their Creation will make the first batch of combat clones more efficient..."
Velnorah looked at her Husband, who was sitting in his command chair with his eyes closed.
"Darling?"
"... Yes." Victor opened his eyes and looked at Velnorah. Currently, he had two POVs: one was him talking to Natalia, and with the other, he was looking at Velnorah.
"What do you think about adding the blood of my people to the Clone Operators?"
Victor thought for a few seconds and said: "That's a good idea. We should add more Elements of Elves and Faeries too."
"... That's a good idea. The peculiarities of those Races will make them calmer." Velnorah agreed. "Shall we continue using Laura as a base, my old Race, Elves, and Faeries as a compound, on top of the darker Races? Will we add more?"
"There's no need, Laura's blood influence will be enough. We don't want war-addicted Operators." Victor said.
"Alright." Velnorah nodded. Suddenly, a topic flashed in her head. "We should make more City Cores too."
"That's true." Victor had almost forgotten about that. A City Core was truly a very useful tool for managing a territory.
"With all the precautions you're taking, I'm afraid we won't have any privacy in our territory."
Looking in the direction of the voice, Victor smiled slightly when he saw Agnes.
"Privacy is overrated. If you're connected to anything, someone will always have information about you." Velnorah snorted.
"At least don't apply that to our mansion."
"Of course, we don't need that. Darling is there." Victor himself was the 'City Core' of his Dimension since he was practically omniscient there.
Agnes snorted and sneakily climbed onto Victor's lap and hugged him.
Victor smiled gently and stroked Agnes's white hair.
"What happened to make you act like a spoiled cat?"
"What? I can't see my Husband anymore?" She narrowed her eyes dangerously. "I know your 'love' is completely focused on our Daughters now, but I can't believe we've been forgotten..." She wiped away her crocodile tears.
Victor rolled his eyes, simply pulling Agnes closer to him, and took her mouth with his.
Agnes hugged Victor tightly, and after a full minute, she broke away and said with a big smile. "Better."
Velnorah simply shook her head and went back to doing her thing. She was too busy to 'play' right now... She bit her lip in frustration...
'YES! I'm too busy! Focus, woman!' She growled to herself.
While Velnorah seemed to be in an internal battle, Victor looked at Agnes. "So? What happened."
Victor knew very well that if Agnes just wanted affection, she wouldn't come to meet him but would call him to have a more 'intimate' moment in his room.
Time Powers were really useful… Victor could spend as much 'Time' as he wanted with his Wives, and since most of them liked to spend time alone, they were never left unsatisfied.
'Thank you, Kronos. Your death has been forgotten, but your Powers are useful.' Victor thought internally.
"I love, and I hate how much you know me." Agnes pouted and jumped off Victor's lap. With a wave of her hand, a fiery sword appeared in her hand.
"…Oh?"
"Yeah, I was surprised too."
Velnorah stopped looking at her work and looked at Fafnir's sword. It was then that she opened her eyes wide. "The sword became a Fire Elemental…? How is that possible?"
"I don't know. After Darling gave it a boost, it was normal for a few years, and now it's starting to change."
Victor touched his chin as he looked curiously at the sword. "An Elemental Dragon? You're full of surprises, aren't you?"
The sword glowed softly with Fire.
"That's not the only thing that's changed about it." Agnes looked at the floating sword and spoke. "Come here."
Understanding Agnes' intentions, the sword 'entered' Agnes' body. The next moment, flames covered Agnes' body, encasing her in full armor made of flames.
With a gesture of his hand, Victor isolated the area because the heat emitted by Agnes for a moment reached 6,000 degrees.
"I can also 'mold' these flames into any weapon that has the same appearance as Fafnir's materials. I can also completely become a Fire Elemental." She demonstrated this by becoming entirely made of flames.
"Interesting… Fafnir has become similar to Junketsu…" Victor's clothes lit up with violet flames in protest, "But not exactly the same. After all, Junketsu can take on the properties of other materials, and she cannot completely become an Elemental because her Essence is my blood."
The flames flared in protest again. Victor felt Junketsu saying. 'Just wait, I can do something much better than this imitation!'
Victor visibly rolled his eyes at Junketsu's attitude. "This change must have happened because of my interference... I wonder if I can repeat these events with other blades? We could have several 'trump cards' like that."
Fafnir's presentation gave Victor an idea... "Wait, why settle for one sword?... We can make an entire Dimension... A Water Dimension with extremely gigantic Beings, for example..." Victor's eyes began to shine.
Agnes began to be covered in a cold sweat, she knew her Husband well enough to know that he had completely lost control.
'I just wanted explanations...' She whined.
Velnorah looked at Agnes as if she was judging her Soul, her eyes saying: 'Fix this.' She didn't want to deal with more of Victor's crazy ideas! She already had too much on her plate!
'Ugh.' She grumbled.
"Yes... Yes... I can see it... Several Dimensions with various purposes. Within these Dimensions, there are gigantic Beings that I can use as a front fleet... Something like huge Leviathans, huge Elemental Beings... I can also then use these Beings to 'boost' the soldiers in the same way that Fafnir did for Agnes."
Victor opened his hand, and in it appeared the small Eldritch Being that he had picked up a few days ago. "I can also make a house for you... But, unfortunately, I won't be able to make more of your species." Eldritch Beings were complicated. Because they needed a lot of Energy to be visible and useful, they needed to destroy galaxies, suns, and black holes to feed and grow, and Victor was sure that the Primordials wouldn't let that happen.
Victor closed his hands and put the Eldritch Being away.
"But I can make the other species... The Leviathans will be my priority. They will also be the easiest to make."
"Darl-..."
"I don't need to do that with Dragons. They're too sentient to be useful… I should settle for irrational Beings, but not completely irrational."
"Water Leviathans, Apocalyptic Monsters, Beings made entirely of flames... A Dimension of Fire, a Dimension of Water, a Dimension of Light... Of Darkness..."
"DARLING!"
"...Yes?" Victor looked at Agnes in confusion.
"You got lost there for a few minutes."
"Oh..."
"No 'oh'! Try not to do something absurd. I know I'm asking for the impossible, but try."
"Mm." Victor nodded.
"... Ugh, he didn't listen to me at all," Agnes grumbled. "Anyway, just tell me if there's a problem with my sword."
"There's no problem with it. In fact, it will just continually evolve now. Just keep using it as you normally do."
"Okay." Agnes nodded in relief, then looked at Velnorah and smiled, "See you around."
"Hey!" Using her speed, Velnorah grabbed Agnes' shoulder tightly: "Don't leave me here with the mess you made!"
"... Work is good, right? We have a lot of Sisters who are just sleeping around."
"Distract him now! Don't you know how much work we have? I don't want any more work until I finish my current projects!"
"... Work is good, right? We have a lot of Sisters who are just sleeping around."
...
"ATCHUMMM." Pepper let out a strange sneeze.
"Again?" Siena said.
"Twice is strange. Are you sure you're not sick?" Lacus said.
"I don't think so?..." Pepper said uncertainly. She used her Powers on herself but found that there was nothing wrong. Thinking for a while, she just shrugged.
...
"They're loafing around because the work that needs the most people are specialized jobs that few can do, so most of them focus on administration work," Velnorah said, then pointed at Victor. "With what Victor is talking about now, who do you think will have to help him?"
"...The Goddesses who have experience in dealing with new Beings?" By Goddesses, she meant Hestia, Aphrodite, etc.
"Exactly! That is, me too! Distract him now, or I will force you to learn my job too!" She threatened.
"Ugh, fine, fine!"
Velnorah let go of Agnes. The woman then looked at Victor, who was lost in thought again. 'What better way to distract him...' She smiled.
She knew very well what to do. With a snap of her fingers, her attire changed into a nightgown, and then she jumped onto Victor's lap again.
"Hmm?"
"Darling~..." Female Draconic pheromones exploded around Agnes' body.
Velnorah isolated the area around her so as not to smell it and get 'excited' as well.
"How about we make another Daughter?"
Victor's eyes shone on with an intense violet glow. He pulled Agnes by the waist, and with his other hand, he 'pulled' Velnorah, and then they disappeared and appeared in a personal isolated Dimension where Time was different.
Falling onto the bed, Velnorah blinked in confusion for a few seconds, and then she quickly spoke:
"W-Wait, wait, I'm busy--... Haah~."
