Chapter 960: I planned millennia for just this moment, Odin. 3
"You really don't stop, do you? It's impossible to get you to just relax, isn't it?" Scathach spoke.
"Well, I am relaxed," Victor said in amusement. "And I'm not working. I'm leaving everything to you, right? My very capable Wives."
Scathach snorted. "I'm not your Wife."
"... Not officially," Victor held Scathach's cheek with his right hand and made her look into his eyes.
Violet Dragon Eyes met blood-red Dragon Eyes with possession and desire. "But you are mine, and only mine, until the end of time."
Scathach shivered slightly, feeling incredibly excited by Victor's possessiveness showing in his tone. As a way to express her desire, she passionately kissed him.
It was an advance that Victor did not refuse, fully accepting her kiss while holding her. After a few seconds, he let her go.
Scathach took a deep breath and looked at Victor with eyes filled with desire and possessiveness.
Victor snapped his fingers, and the next moment, a paper appeared in Violet's hand. She snapped out of her desire and looked at the paper in her hand.
"... A mass Soul Wedding plan...?" Violet said, confused.
"It's funny to think you can escape from me now that we've become Dragons. The Ritual we went through is no longer in effect, and it leaves me quite lonely, so we will marry in the same way I did with Aphrodite and Medusa."
These words darkened Violet's eyes with pure, obsessive desire! She fully supported this plan!
"NEW PRIORITY! Let's organize this event!" She strongly ordered.
"Hehehe, make room for one more person," Victor said.
"... Are you going to capture her?" Aphrodite pouted, not liking this development at all!
"Who knows~? I just can't ignore a very competent woman..."
'And to think she was right in front of me, and I didn't see any of this. She really hid her strength very well,' Victor thought. His guess was that, like Kaguya and him, she must have some kind of a personal pocket dimension where she kept her things.
If that's the case, unless he actively searched for that Dimension, he wouldn't normally find it... Not to mention, he really wasn't looking for these things when he was talking to Hela since he was just interested in talking to her.
"My love, come with me," Victor said.
A woman emerged from the ground, and Kaguya soon appeared. The perfect Maid immediately took hold of his arm. With a gesture of his hand, three red-haired women appeared in front of him, along with a white-haired maid.
"Fuee?" Pepper exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh?" Lacus exclaimed in confusion.
"... Victor! I was in the middle of a movie!" Siena grumbled.
While Luna remained silently confused. "... Why am I here?" She asked.
"It's character development time. Luna, from the beginning, you've been the only one from the Scarlett Clan who hasn't evolved, and that's unforgivable."
Luna pouted. "I don't want to evolve! If I do that, I'll get even more work! I'm fine being a Noble Vampire!"
"It's okay for you not to want to evolve, but if this continues, I will have to expel you."
Victor's words made Luna visibly shudder. Pepper, Lacus, and Siena looked at Victor, wondering what he was doing.
Scathach just watched everything in silence. Normally, she would have intervened, but when Victor displayed the 'Husband' attitude she loved so much in him, she let him handle it completely. After all, he was her Husband... even if not officially.
"Why?... I haven't done anything wrong."
"And that's exactly the problem. You haven't done anything," Victor said. "Even with the most powerful Masters in each category, you haven't sought to become stronger."
"Normally, that wouldn't be a problem... But you are the servant of the Scarlett Clan, a Clan full of True Dragons... Specifically, you are Ruby's PERSONAL servant."
"Ruby, who will play a very important role in the future."
"How can you consider yourself a suitable servant to someone like that if you are so weak?"
Luna bit her lip as she looked at her sisters for anything, but they just remained silent. She didn't even need to look at Scathach to know she was taking the same stance as her daughters.
Victor's words reminded Luna of her own house in Russia, the weakness that led to the extermination of her Clan. An event that led her straight to Scathach.
It was at that moment that she realized... in fact, she remembered that being weak in this world was a great sin. She had become so accustomed to being in a strong Clan that she had completely forgotten about it.
"... What should I do, Your Majesty?" She looked at Victor with a serious gaze.
"I like that look." Victor snapped his fingers, and the next moment, horns appeared on Luna's head, and her eyes turned Draconic. However, unlike Victor's Wives, wings did not appear behind her.
This simple action made Velnorah and Aphrodite's eyes widen. The mastery Victor had over Souls was impressive.
'In just a few hours, he created two variants of his Race... I need to learn more about these variants,' Velnorah thought as she looked at the orb in Violet's hand.
"Congratulations, my dear Luna, you are now a Dragonoid."
"Eh...? Dragonoid...?"
"Yes, it's not a True Dragon that can alter existence as it pleases, but rather just a simple Humanoid Dragon, hence Dragonoid."
"Unlike me and my Wives, you don't have a Dragon Form, nor do you have the Soul of a True Dragon. You don't instinctively understand Runes and Draconic Language, but you have the potential to learn them because you are still a Dragon."
Basically, she was now a nerfed version of a True Dragon... a nerfed version that was still very powerful due to the mixture of two different Races.
"I changed your Race and increased your potential. I want only one thing from you... Get stronger."
"Remember, just as I granted you Power easily, I can take it away. Don't disappoint me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Victor nodded in satisfaction. In the next moment, he looked elsewhere, and when he did, everyone saw a woman standing there.
Yuki Snow.
Once again, everyone doubted their senses, as they hadn't sensed the Maid standing there. The only thing they could think of was that Victor had something to do with it.
What happened was simple: when Victor brought the girls, he didn't just bring Siena, Lacus, Pepper, and Luna; he also brought Yuki Snow.
"Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. I want to follow your path, no matter what."
Victor looked at her for a few seconds as if evaluating her, which he actually was. He was examining her Soul.
"Very well. From now on, you are the Leader of the Maids in this mansion and report directly to Kaguya and me." Victor snapped his fingers again.
White horns appeared on her head, and her eyes turned Dragon-like.
"As your first order, become stronger. As your second order, I want you to separate the talented from the trash."
"Those you choose, I will transform into Dragonoids, and they will be part of the Elite group that I will personally train."
"But remember... if there is any trash among your chosen ones, it will reflect on my assessment of your performance."
"I will not disappoint you, Your Majesty." Yuki was not afraid.
"Good." Victor nodded in satisfaction. Then he looked at Violet.
"I want a new last name."
"... Huh?"
"I will become an Emperor in the future, and my children and Wives will have my last name. I cannot have something ridiculous like 'Alucard' as my last name."
Initially, Victor took that name as a way to say he wouldn't be like Vlad while also being a challenge to him as well. But now, that name no longer made sense.
He had become much stronger than Vlad, gaining a more powerful Authority.
His true name would always be Victor Walker; that was his birth name and would not change.
But his last name should reflect the position he holds now. He was no longer just a Progenitor Vampire who wanted to surpass Vlad. He was something more.
"Think of a new last name for me, and... I've decided on the name of the former Egyptian Pantheon."
"... Oh?" Aphrodite reacted. "What name have you chosen, Darling?"
"Elvenorah..." Victor replied. "Elvenorah, the Eternal Utopia, the Emperor's dream for a future where all Races coexist."
Immediately, everyone looked at Velnorah, understanding clearly that this name was inspired by her.
Victor looked at Velnorah and said, "You are now the Ruler of that City. Use all your experience as a former Overlord and make these words a reality."
"... May I ask why the sudden decision...?" Velnorah asked calmly, but it was evident that she seemed overwhelmed by what he was saying.
"Your job is not just to ensure that our Faction becomes a Magical and Scientific Faction anymore. Your job will be to succeed where you didn't before."
Velnorah fell silent.
"Take that Dimension and turn everyone inside into competent Beings. Turn it into a place your daughter will be proud of in the future."
These words made Velnorah blush instantly. "D-D-Daughter..."
The reason for Victor's decision? That was obvious; it was for her to reach her full potential. Velnorah had much more potential than just being Ruby's assistant. She was an Overlord, a former Empress.
Victor would ensure that all his Wives reached their full potential, and Velnorah was no exception to this rule.
"I-I will do my best..." Velnorah nodded and spoke more determinedly, "No, I will give my best."
"Good, but don't forget that you are not alone. You are part of our Family."
Meanwhile, Violet was pouting intensely. He had given her an entire Dimension! And even named that Dimension after her! That's favoritism!
She should be the favorite! Not this newcomer!
A feeling that Aphrodite and even Scathach were also experiencing.
"Violet, you will be my Empress. You must excel in everything to rule in my absence." These sudden words took Violet and everyone present by surprise.
It was one thing for Violet to say it and another entirely for VICTOR to say it. The difference was obvious. When Victor spoke, it was to make a decision, and his words were law.
"So, continue on your path. You will become an amazing Empress. Don't compare yourself to everyone. Remember that everyone here has had a long time to develop, and I am an anomaly."
"Take your time and use the experience of everyone here to become a better version of yourself, as you are doing. Have I made myself clear?"
These words did wonders to put Violet in a good mood. "Yes, Darling~. Leave it to me." Her eyes sparkled slightly.
"Don't use your eyes just yet. I will teach you how to use them in combat and other things."
Her eyes stopped sparkling, and she nodded slightly, agreeing with him. She had been waiting for these words ever since she spoke to Victor about the future!
Victor looked at Scathach and Aphrodite. "Not just Violet, I want all my Wives to have a sense of how to govern an entire nation and Dimension. Gather the most experienced women and share knowledge. Let's prepare for the future."
"... The future?"
"The future in which thousands of worlds will be under our control."
