Chapter 867: The 'Lady'. 2
Chapter 867: The 'Lady'. 2
She had never seen a Being with such talent before.
'Even his Race is ridiculous; he is a Dragon and at the same time a Vampire, the perfect fusion of both in the form of a Progenitor who is the pinnacle of his kind.'
The woman's attention turned to his Energy that surrounded him like a protective barrier, and she analyzed the Energy with her senses.
As she finished her analysis, she widened her eyes at how absurd the result was.
'This is Pure Negative Energy...'
She had seen this before on her own planet; it was the same Energy The World Tree of Negativity used.
Throughout her analysis, the woman never used her Powers; she merely observed and felt. Due to her former occupation, she had had the opportunity to meet various special individuals, and with that experience, she could easily discern most Beings.
But... Victor was different. Yes, she could read some things about him, but she couldn't read so deeply. His existence was entangled in a web of complexity she had never seen before.
She was startled when, at some point, those crimson-violet eyes were looking directly into her own. She had been so lost in thought that she hadn't realized she was watching him so intensely.
A small smile appeared on Victor's face, and the woman widened her eyes when she felt something probing her Soul.
"You let your guard down, Lady."
For the first time since leaving The Norse Pantheon, she summoned her Power, which had a crystalline blue color.
Victor's smile grew even wider.
The Lady broke into a cold sweat when she realized what had happened. 'He invaded my Soul... Someone in this backwater Sector is capable of breaching my defenses... He's dangerous... And that's exactly what I need.'
Such behavior did not go unnoticed by those nearby; they raised curious eyebrows because she had suddenly invoked her Power, but no one commented on it. They simply thought she was trying to calm herself. After all, they couldn't deny that the man in front of them was very striking, so such attention from the female sex was normal.
The Gods present here had no doubt that the attention of all Supernatural Beings observing this meeting was now exclusively on Victor.
Little did they know they were absolutely correct, but what they didn't count on was that the very Goddesses of their own Pantheon were also watching this man.
'...Even a Primordial's assistant is not immune to this man,' Anubis thought.
Odin, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes slightly at this behavior. He clearly understood the woman's intentions in observing Victor intensely, and he didn't like the outcome at all. Even though he had anticipated this might happen, seeing it happen in person left a sour taste in his mouth.
He felt as though something he possessed had been stolen from him.
'She's going to make the same offer to him as she did to me, right...?' Odin couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Victor with the Power that woman held.
'With that support, he'll practically become untouchable,' he gritted his teeth internally. He wanted that Power for his Faction, but the requirements to obtain such a thing were far beyond his capacity.
If only his Pantheon had united... Maybe then, he would have had a chance.
He might call himself a 'King,' but that only applied to certain parts of his Pantheon, not the entirety. The Hell controlled by Hela, The Ice Giants, The Fire Giants, The Dark Elves—all these Races were not under his control.
Shiva observed all of this with neutral eyes. Perhaps, of all the Gods present, only he understood the exchange between Victor and the woman. After all, he was quite knowledgeable about matters of the Soul due to one of the Gods in his Pantheon having taught him.
...
Temple of Kali.
"He's even more handsome now..." Kali murmured as she looked at the distant screen, her long red hair covered in Pure Destructive Power floating around her.
"And immensely stronger too... He really didn't lie when he spoke those words." She smiled faintly.
Despite appearing slightly amused, the reality was that Kali was Kali looked at her Temple and then at herself. Her eyes were neutral and somewhat melancholic. To be honest, she felt trapped in her deeply disturbed. She simply couldn't understand how Victor had become so strong in such a short time.
In pure Energy alone, he had already surpassed her by a wide margin.
Normal Beings simply didn't leap from an Elite God to the level of a Primordial so easily! That was impossible!
"I blinked, and he just went there and became insanely stronger." The last time Kali had seen and felt Victor, he had been much weaker than he was now, which left her shocked.
Take Kali, for example; she was born as a Primordial God, and through training, self-discovery, and enhancement, she had reached the state she was in.
And this process had taken thousands of years!
Then suddenly, a man emerged from a lower level than hers and had already surpassed her in terms of pure Energy. That was simply absurd.
'He's not even a God yet... I wonder how much stronger he'll become when he achieves Divinity,' Kali thought.
The question was not if Victor would obtain Divinity, but when he would achieve it. Knowing the man's abnormality, he would definitely surprise everyone again.
Kali looked at her Temple and then at herself. Her eyes were neutral and somewhat melancholic. To be honest, she felt trapped in her current state, unable to progress. She felt like she was staring at an immense wall that she couldn't overcome, no matter what she did.
Kali was familiar with this feeling; she had encountered it several times in the past, but she had always managed to overcome it and become stronger. However, this time was different. She couldn't seem to overcome it. It felt like there was something essential missing within her.
Something she didn't yet understand.
The Red Energy of Pure Destruction that had been spread around her began to retract, and much like Victor, her body was covered by this Energy as if it were armor. Now, as long as she didn't touch anyone, nothing would be destroyed. Unfortunately, her control wasn't good enough to completely "turn off" her Divinity.
Previously, she didn't have this problem, but as she got closer to becoming one with her own Concept, she found herself unable to control this Energy completely. After all, this Energy was, in a way, a part of herself. Becoming one with the Concept might seem complicated to understand, but it was quite simple. She would become The Embodiment of The Destruction Concept.
She looked at the screen again, curiosity welling up within her. She wanted to know the "secret" of that man becoming so strong so quickly. Perhaps, if she heard it from his own mouth, she could break free from this impasse and make further progress.
Using a thread of Energy from her Power, she picked up the phone and searched for Aphrodite's contact, then sent her intention through the phone.
...
Aphrodite's phone vibrated, and the woman picked it up to see a message from Kali.
"Oh? Unexpected, she doesn't usually contact me," Aphrodite muttered as she saw three dots.
[Can I visit you?]
She heard Kali's voice in her head, and Aphrodite was shocked by what she had just heard. But a smile quickly appeared on her face, and she typed:
Aphrodite: OF COURSE! You must come, Kali! I will prepare everything!
Kali: ... [I'll come soon]
Then the symbol indicating that she was online went dark.
Aphrodite didn't mind the brief words and the abrupt interruption; she knew Kali's personality well.
"Listen up, girls!" she shouted.
"What?" Violet asked.
"What's going on, Aphrodite?" Anna asked curiously.
"A very important friend is going to visit us, and we have to welcome her and do everything to make her our ally, and possibly our sister!"
"..." The response Aphrodite received was pure silence.
"Aphrodite, have you gone completely mad?" Eve asked in an emotionless voice.
"She was already mad; she just completely lost touch with reality," Agnes shook her head with pity.
"Ugh, I understand your reactions, but this is serious; my friend is very special!"
"...In what way?" Jeanne raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
"She's a Goddess of Destruction, the strongest Goddess, possibly the most powerful woman on this planet."
The women's eyes widened in shock.
"...You... You really are a social butterfly..." Nero couldn't help but comment with a hint of envy; she had a bit of trouble being as sociable as her "mother."
"Oya...? My beloved daughter wants to be like me?" Aphrodite sweetly smiled.
"Never. I want to be like my father." Nero huffed.
"Mm... Father is the best," Ophis supported.
For some reason, Aphrodite had a feeling that she would hear those words many times in the future, a feeling shared by all the women present who were connected to Victor.
"Now, for the second topic, the reason this meeting was called."
These words grabbed everyone's attention.
"Regarding the aggression of Victor Alucard against The Greek Pantheon, which resulted in its destruction."
"As well as the birth of a new Pantheon under his own banner."
The Supernatural World, unaware of this information, fell into unanimous silence.
The Limbo Guy internally chuckled as he used his senses to see all the Beings watching the broadcast in absolute shock.
'Hahahahaha, this is the first time I've seen this happen,' he laughed internally, even though his facial expression remained unchanged.
"Before we discuss the matter at hand, I must say, congratulations, Victor Alucard, on officially Ascending to the position of God-King, both in Power and political standing."
Supernatural Beings blinked several times in shock; they never thought they would live to see the birth of a new Pantheon of Gods.
"Thank you," Victor smiled lightly in response to the genuine tone of appreciation from The Primordial.
