Chapter 631: Are the Goddesses of Olympus cheat codes? 2
“Huh!? Won’t you just forget about it!? Just forget it! I will not train!”
“….” Victor just smiled at her.
“So you plan on being a leech? You said you wouldn’t be one.”
“Ugh.”
Nike felt someone touching her shoulder and saw a mature woman, a Goddess with long golden hair and violet eyes, Rhea, The Mother Goddess.
“Just give it up, Nike. He won’t give up until he drags you into a dark place and makes you train with him.” The Goddess spoke with a gentle, motherly tone.
“…” Everyone sweated at the words that could cause a lot of misunderstandings.
“Lady Rhea…” Nike muttered and slowly turned to look at Victor.
And just now, she saw the way he was looking at her. He was excited, looking at her like he would devour her at any moment. Yes, he was excited… And not sexually speaking; he just wanted to fight her.
‘Fuck, he’s a battle maniac!’
Nike felt like she had dug her own grave when she talked about her Power. It was obvious that someone with that personality would want to fight her.
Seeing that he wouldn’t give up, she tried to seek help from her fellow Goddesses, but the women just looked away. Even Aphrodite looked away!
‘Traitors!!’
“Ugh… Fine, I’ll train with you.”
‘YES!’ Mini-Victor started running around in Victor’s mind. He was excited! The proof of that was his smile which grew wider in an even more predatory way.
Nike winced a little at that smile. ‘I made a mistake, didn’t I? I should have fought harder!’
“Fufufu, you can’t back out now, Nike!”
“Ugh, whatever.” Nike gave up.
The surrounding people smiled when they saw this interaction, a smile that did not escape the Mother Goddess’s eyes.
‘… I see. I understand why he attracted so much attention from Aphrodite and so many women…’ The maternal Goddess looked at Victor with a twinkle in her eyes:
‘His Charisma is so great that it can make even arrogant Goddesses let their guard down and relax as if they were equal with him… The jovial attitude of a child who is in pursuit of a goal… A warrior’s honor, but also not blinded by the dark side of the world, and more importantly… A Family man and a man of his word.’ In that little interaction, the Mother Goddess, who was once the Queen of Olympus, understood several things about Alucard.
‘He has the necessary qualifications… And he also has ‘it’.’ Rhea sniffed the air a little. She knew that smell, which couldn’t be hidden from someone like her who had lived for so long.
The smell of Nature, and not just any Nature, but abundant Nature, as if man’s own body were bathed constantly in the vitality of a planet.
Something that could only be seen with:
‘A World Tree… He has connections to a World Tree… Is it this planet’s World Tree? Or is it Earth’s? But isn’t that woman missing?’
It was remarkable that Rhea’s interest was awakened, and she decided to take a closer look at the man who made the Goddess of Beauty his Wife.
“…” Victor lightly smiled as he felt the Maternal Goddess’s interest flare up. The Goddess didn’t change the ‘gentle’ face she was displaying, but he could see the woman as if she were an open book.
“I am curious, Nike,” Ruby said.
“What?”
“You say you won’t intentionally attack others, but why are you proposing to go?”
“This disposition of mine does not extend to Demons, Evil Creatures, or Beings that seek to harm everyone for sadistic pleasure.”
“I see.”
“It’s good to know you’re not stupid,” Victor said.
“Indeed.” Violet agreed with him.
Veins bulged on Nike’s head, and she looked at the two of them with visible annoyance on her face.
“Are you thinking I’m stupid for being a ‘pacifist’?” Nike asked.
“Yes,” Violet confirmed.
“No,” Victor disagreed.
“….” Victor and Violet spoke simultaneously, looked at each other, shrugged, and then looked at Nike again.
“Don’t look at me like that. I just think it’s stupid to be a pacifist in this Supernatural World we’re in. After all, strength speaks the loudest in this world.” Violet spoke gracefully as she added, “But knowing that you are not ignorant of the nature of our world, I have changed my opinion of you.”
“… I’m not foolish enough to believe that everything can be resolved with words, but I also don’t like to attack others voluntarily. I just want to stay in my corner in peace.”
“Umu, I can understand you. After all, I also consider myself a pacifist.” Victor spoke while nodding his head. He could completely understand what Nike was saying.
“….” As if the entity of silence itself appeared in the room, everyone fell quiet.
Literally, everyone, even the Goddesses, who just encountered him and knew him for the shortest time.
‘Whoaa, I’ve never heard so much bullshit in my life in just one sentence.’ Sasha, Violet, and Ruby thought at the same time.
“…Y-You? A pacifist?” In shock, Nike stuttered a little.
As she could tell, the impression Victor gave her was not of some ‘pacifistic’, something all the Goddesses could agree on.
Even Rhea, who always had a kind expression on her face, was looking at Victor in a daze.
“Yeah.”
“Unbelievable.”
“….” Victor twisted his lips a little, “Why don’t you believe me?”
“I mean, are you talking about ‘pacifism’? Killing everyone so that there are no conflicts. If there are no people, there is no conflict… That kind of ‘pacifism’?”
All the Goddesses nodded their heads in agreement with Nike.
“…” This time, it was Victor’s turn to look at Nike in surprise:
“Just what kind of impression do you all have of me?”
“…A devilishly handsome man who will commit mass genocide if necessary?” Demeter spoke.
“I mean, you’re not wrong, but I’m not like that! I am a pacifist!”
“Uhum, and I’m strong enough to blast Ares into a million pieces,” Nike said with pure sarcasm in her voice.
“It may be hard to believe, but Victor here really is a pacifist,” Sasha spoke out in defense of her Husband.
“…” The Goddesses, except for Aphrodite, looked at Sasha with an unbelievable gaze.
“As long as you don’t harm someone close to him or try to do something against his Family, Darling won’t do anything. He’s like a Dragon who only acts when provoked.”
“…But he’s a battle maniac…”
“Calling me a maniac is rude… I just enjoy fighting; I enjoy the ‘battle’ itself, especially when I fight someone stronger and feel myself getting stronger from that fight. It’s an amazing feeling~’ Victor spoke in a dreamy tone.
‘That’s what you call a battle maniac!!’ The Goddesses thought internally.
“…Then how would you satisfy that urge to fight without provoking conflict?” Rhea asked.
“Isn’t that what duels are for? Not to mention that the battle doesn’t have to be to the death, just until near death, where the two opponents use everything they have with each other! That is magnificent, isn’t it!?” Victor spoke with a broad, predatory smile across his face.
Rhea’s gentle smile got a little tenser, “… Hmm, I don’t know about that, but you are probably correct.”
“Umu.” Victor crossed his arms and nodded, “Apparently, you understand me.”
Ruby, Violet, and Sasha smiled gently throughout Victor’s ‘passionate’ speech. After all, this was the Victor they knew. He may have changed a bit, but his essence remained the same.
“… Apparently,” Rhea said, a little confused and uncertain.
Victor’s amused face changed to a serious expression, “Unfortunately, that kind of mentality can only be held for so long. Trouble will come to you whether you like it or not. It’s the kind of world we live in, and because of that, I decided to be more active.”
“By facing us again, the enemies will understand what consequences will befall them.”
“After all…” Victor smiled a little, a smile that caused a shudder in all the Goddesses present; the reason? Half of his face had disappeared into pure distorted darkness, and only his smile could be seen.
“There are Fates worse than Death itself.”<.com>
“Aren’t there?”
“…?” The Goddesses blinked, and in the next moment, his face was back to normal, as if everything they saw was an illusion.
But they definitely knew that wasn’t an illusion.
“Girls…? Are you alright?” Victor asked with concern.
“Y-Yeah, we just felt a little cold,” Demeter responded with a strained smile.
“Oh? I’ll go get some heaters later.”
“Thanks.”
Cough.
Aphrodite coughed to get everyone’s attention, then spoke.
“Back to the point, does anyone else want to go with Hestia and Nike?”
“…” The Goddesses fell silent.
Hestia, Nike, and Aphrodite all looked at Thetis, a blue-haired Sea Goddess, but the Titan Goddess just turned her head away and started whistling. She definitely didn’t want to go.
“Wait, Aphrodite, aren’t you going?” Hestia asked.
“Hmm, I decided at the last minute that I wouldn’t go anymore.”
“Huh!? Why!?”
“Well…” Aphrodite squinted at Victor, and her pink eyes sparkled a little, “I remembered I forgot to do something important.”
“…” Victor’s smile grew as he felt Aphrodite’s lust.
One thing was true, the Goddess of Beauty had her priorities right.
“And someone has to keep an eye on these Goddesses, so they don’t cause trouble.”
“…” The Goddesses at least had the decency to turn their heads to the side. They knew that, from a Mortal’s point of view, they were difficult to deal with.
“And don’t worry about Athena or Artemis. I’m sure Scathach and Hestia can handle it.”
“You’re putting a lot of trust in me, Aphrodite.”
“Fufufu, those kids are no match for you, Hestia.”
“…” Hestia just smiled, not affirming or denying anything.
“Anyway, I’ll leave you guys alone. Make sure you don’t cause too much trouble.” Victor spoke.
“Okay~.” Most of the Goddesses except for Hestia, Nike, Rhea, and Aphrodite spoke.
Victor nodded in satisfaction and started walking towards the exit.
“Violet, Sasha, Ruby, are the girls ready?”
“Yes, we prepared everything,” Violet said with visible animation.
“Oh? Are you so excited that you are going to get my Bloodline?”
“What a silly question, Darling. Of course, I’m excited! I will feel closer to you! You don’t know how jealous I am of Roxanne and Aphrodite!?”
“Ugh, I hope this helps me reach Godhood!”
“….” Sasha and Ruby’s eyes widened when they heard what Violet said.
“… Oh? Do you want to be a Goddess?”
“Obviously! I want to be a Goddess of Fire so I can perform a Soul Marriage with Victor! Then, even death will not separate us!”
Victor could only smile gently with a sweet feeling in his heart at that statement from Violet.
“I will support you in everything.”
“Umu!”
Victor looked at Sasha and Ruby, “You too, just do what you want. I’ll always be there for you.”
The two smiled gently and spoke at the same time:
“I know. You don’t have to tell me, Darling.”
“Nah, I’ll make sure to say it as many times as necessary.”
“….” They melted even more when they heard what he said and felt his emotions pouring into them like a Tsunami.
“Hmm, about the last conversation, Darling. Is it a good idea to threaten the Goddesses?” Violet asked.
“Hmm, I don’t know, but they need to know who they’re dealing with, so I won’t act in front of them, and I’ve been completely honest. I have a feeling they’ll be the group’s core in the future, just like the Witches we brought from the Human World.”
“… That is something I can agree with,” Ruby said after recovering from her stupor.
“The Goddesses assembled here are very helpful, particularly Nike, Aphrodite, and Rhea.”
“Nike and Aphrodite, I can understand, but why Rhea?” Sasha asked.
“She is a Mother Goddess, Sasha. She was The First Queen of Olympus.”
“And… there are rumors that Mother Goddesses can create Life just like the Gods of Creation.”
“Create Life…?” Sasha spoke in shock.
“Yes, although I don’t know how true that rumor is. After all, I learned that from the myth of Tiamat, who was both a Mother Goddess and a Dragon. Rhea has to tell us personally, I guess.” Ruby spoke.
“… Create Life, huh… I guess it can’t be done so lightly these days. After all, there are Primordials who manage ‘Life’.” Victor spoke.
“That’s true, but it’s still impressive,” Ruby answered.
“…” Victor nodded along with Sasha.
“Hmm, there’s no use thinking about it now. Let’s focus on getting stronger! I want to know how my Husband’s Lineage will change me! Hehehehe~”
“…” Victor, Sasha, and Ruby looked at Violet and felt her excitement infect them. Soon the three smiled and continued on their way.
…
In a secret room exclusive to the Snow Clan Leaders only.
A group of people gathered there.
Practically all of Victor’s group was here, with the obvious exceptions of Mizuki, Leona, Edward, Liena, Andrew, Fred, Anna, Leon, and Hilda, as well as the Scarlett sisters and the Maid of Clan Scarlett, Luna.
“Hmm, I was thinking of doing this in the bedroom.”
“We have to keep this as secret as possible, Vic,” Agnes said in a scolding tone.
“The political chaos that could ensue if information about this leaked is not funny.”
“….” Victor just kept silent. He didn’t want to argue since Agnes was correct.
“Anyway, let’s get started.” Victor assumed a serious expression as he walked to the middle of the room, which had a giant red Ritual Circle.
“Maria, Roberta, and Bruna come here.”
