Chapter 978: Yandere Junketsu is very possessive of her Master. 2
"Junketsu, what can you do?" Victor asked curiously.
"Whatever the Master desires."
'So she will react to my desires, huh.' Victor understood what she meant.
"Hmm..." Victor looked at the gauntlet with sharp claws covering his hand and thought about letting his hand out.
Responding immediately to Victor's desire, Junketsu removed the gauntlet from Victor. The gauntlet dissolved into a violet liquid resembling slime and entered his body as his hand appeared.
As the liquid entered his body, Victor felt a strange sensation. It was as if there was a layer of protection just beneath his skin that encompassed not only his skin but also his muscles and bones, reaching into every deep part of his body. This was complete biological protection.
Junketsu essentially not only became part of his Soul now but also part of his body, fully merging with his Being.
And because she was composed of various highly resistant Mortal and Divine Materials, his internal systems also received a boost in defense. The composition of his bones did not change; it was still made of the same substance, but its characteristics were of pure Divine Material.
Examining his body with his eyes, he saw that his entire body retained its biological form while acquiring the characteristics of the materials ingested by Junketsu. His physical body changed at the genetic level with this fusion.
'This is very unexpected but not an unpleasant surprise. I'm loving it more with each passing moment.'
Victor decided to test the armor's resistance and squeezed his arm covered by the armor. Even using all his physical strength, he couldn't break through the armor's defense. Victor was impressed by its robustness. In the next moment, he decided to be more serious, using his Energy to increase his strength and squeezing his arm even harder.
A small 'crack' sounded in the gauntlet, but in the next moment, the armor was repaired and became even more resistant, completely preventing him from cracking it.
"Interesting, for a moment, I felt my Energy dwindling a bit."
"I am fused with the Master, so I can use your Energy to restore the armor if necessary. Due to the recent Essences consumed by the Master, I can also make the damages you suffer feel like a dream that never happened."
"Somewhat irrelevant considering few Beings can break through your stupid defense... But quite broken at the same time," Amara spoke.
'As Ruby usually says, he got even more broken... And to think that jealousy, obsession, and passion could drive Junketsu this far.' Roxanne thought internally. 'Well... All his Wives are like this, always going further and further because of their Love and obsession.'
It could be said that the Divinity of Love and the Divinity of Yandere were the strongest Divinities out there because they drove a Being so hard to act.
Any Divinity related to emotions was indeed powerful. After all, it was these same emotions that moved any Being. Roxanne, as a World Tree of Negativity, understood this very well.
"That's true," Junketsu spoke. "And if the Master wishes, I can become even more resistant."
"... Oh? What do you mean?" Victor asked.
"I react according to the Master's desires, so if you want to focus completely on defense, all my Energy will be used for that," she replied.
"... So, activate defense mode?"
The moment he said that, his previously exposed hand was completely covered, and the entire armor became even more robust. Victor visibly 'expanded' in body size as even the Dragon Tail behind him became razor-sharp, and his Dragon Wings became even more robust.
Any Being that wasn't strong enough to attack him... would simply vanish due to the Divinity of Destruction.
If this were a game, Victor had just switched from medium armor to heavy armor. The difference in the armor was not just aesthetic, with various spikes growing, but Victor could also feel his Destruction Divinity being used in the armor, making it even more lethal.
Any Being that wasn't strong enough to attack him... would simply vanish due to the Divinity of Destruction.
Victor joked about calling this defense mode, but it was as lethal as his other form.
"What changes in this form?" Victor decided to ask.
"The Master's Energy is constantly being used to increase defense against all possible types of damage. It can be said that I am supporting you to defend against everything, but the Master can still attack in this form. I just won't assist you in that."
"... Won't assist me, huh... Then, switch to attack mode. Let's do some small tests."
"One second, Master."
Victor's robustness and spikes disappeared as the armor changed from heavy to medium again, and violet flames emanated from his wings, covering the tips of his tail and claws as violet flames also emerged from the helmet's mouthpiece. In this form, Victor felt various attack-related Divinities being used, even the void of Erebus' son and its darkness.
"Give me a demonstration."
"Yes, Master."
Victor gestured, and a dummy made of Divine Material appeared in front of him.
Victor pointed his hand at the dummy and released a burst of pure violet flames, his basic attack using only the Snow Clan's flames that had undergone various mutations throughout his journey.
When the flames shot from Victor's hand, a 'void' appeared in front of them, causing the flames to vanish, reappearing on the left, right, and above the dummy, an attack from all sides.
"Oh?" Victor looked curiously at this. His attack had changed from fire to pure Destruction with his Divinity. A red sphere formed in his hand, and he threw it towards the dummy.
Just like before, the change was instantaneous as he thought to throw a sphere, but halfway through, the sphere turned into several small destruction spikes that made several holes in the dummy.
Victor conducted several tests with various different Powers. After evaluating everything, he said, "I see..."
"In simple terms, it's like I'm playing a video game with Aim Assist. Junketsu will automatically change my attacks to the most efficient form possible to cause maximum damage."
"She can even access my other Powers to make combinations, like what happened with the Lightning that was transformed into Ice at the end."
"Not only that, all attacks have traces of your most dangerous Divinities, Master. Such as traces of 'Chaos'."
"Are you using the Energy from my Nightmare Form?"
"... Should I not have?" She asked, a little concerned.
"It's not that. I'm just curious."
Junketsu breathed a sigh of relief. "I am part of your Soul, Master. And your Nightmare Form is also your Power."
"I see..." Victor nodded. "So the attack form is like having two people in control. While I attack, you also attack alongside me, causing double damage. I presume the same happens in defense, with the only difference being that you will be completely focused on defense while I attack."
"Basically, yes," Junketsu nodded.
"Hmm, stay in defense mode."
"Yes, Master." His armor-covered form changed to the more robust one.
"... Just a reminder that it was the Master who introduced these 'forms' or 'modes' that you speak of. I can do more than that. I essentially react to your desires so I can solely focus on defense, but at the same time, I can change various aspects of the armor for attack."
Proving her words, claws emerged from the gauntlet's wrist covered in pure Negative Power, and in the next moment, various weapons began to form in Victor's hand.
Daggers, axes, western swords, katanas, every type of weapon Victor had ever practiced could be made.
"They say the best defense is a good offense, and this armor can be that, too. It all depends on how the Master desires it, so don't limit yourself to 'modes' or 'forms'. Just voice your desires, and I will do my best to fulfill them." Junketsu wanted to ensure that her Master did not have limited thoughts about her!
She was powerful and versatile! She was the best equipment. No, she was the ULTIMATE equipment! And only she could adorn Victor's body and take care of him! The rest was just useless garbage that served as food for her!
"Hmm... I understand. Thank you for your advice, and don't worry, I will make good use of this. But in a fight, patterns are important. Having two basic forms, like attack and defense mode, is important, so you know how to switch because every moment is crucial in a high-level fight."
"Very well. Everything is according to the Master's will."
The claws and weapons disappeared, leaving only the robust armor.
Victor nodded satisfactorily, and in the next moment, he thought to remove the helmet. Responding to his desires, the helmet dissolved immediately as that thought appeared in Victor's head, leaving his eyes and hair completely free again.
Despite finding the helmet cool and not bothering him, after all, the armor was part of him, Victor liked to 'see' the world with his own eyes. Besides, his face could also be a weapon if his opponents were women.
This detail also applied to men; Victor knew very well that despite being very handsome, he could be quite intimidating if he wished, especially in his expressions when he was very excited or having fun. These expressions could definitely cause a lapse in judgment in other Beings.
"Let's continue our exploration, Junketsu. Make sure to protect me."
"Yes, Master!" Junketsu replied with great fervor.
"Hey, Darling! We're here, too! We'll protect you too!" Roxanne grumbled, feeling her position threatened by this weapon. She was here first, okay!? She had been helping him from the beginning!
Amara grunted in annoyance, too, and nodded, completely agreeing with Roxanne's words. "Don't forget about us either!"
Victor chuckled lightly. "I won't."
"In that case, protect me, girls. I'm counting on you."
"Yes!"
