Chapter 830: Ready to watch a show with an eccentric Witch. 2

Although the woman stood in front of everyone, no one seemed to be watching her.

Suddenly, this woman's face turned in his direction,

"Ara... Watching without permission is offensive, you know? Progenitor."

A smile appeared on Victor's face, and in the next moment, an 'image' began to form in front of the woman.

Soon, his point of view shifted to the image he had created.

As a Being with total control over the Soul and its Aspects, sending a 'projection' of himself was as easy as breathing.

Victor, dressed in an entirely black suit, looked at the 'portal' that the women were opening.

His eyes narrowed, and he saw a 'thread' of the portal connecting to an entirely different Universe.

"They have no idea what they're doing, huh."

"Yes. Unfortunately, they don't." The woman sighed as she shook her head, but Victor noticed that this 'action' was merely an 'act' of feigning emotions.

The woman clearly didn't care about anything and viewed everything with more 'curious' eyes, which could even be called the eyes of a researcher.

She had that hunger for 'knowledge' that he saw in women like Aline and Ruby, although hers were more 'crazy' and obsessive.

With just one exchange, he deeply understood the woman's psyche.

"In their quest to acquire a planet of their own, they've just done something extremely foolish."

"I wonder why 'they' haven't interfered yet," Victor asked this question aloud, even though he already knew the answer.

"It's because I'm here." The woman smiled.

"But again, you already knew that, didn't you?"

Victor smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying, but his silence and expression were a response that left the woman satisfied.

Victor looked at the portal again and followed the 'thread' to where the portal was heading, and even with his current abilities, he couldn't 'see' so far... It was as if something was blocking him.

Victor squinted his eyes.

"Don't force it."

"... Oh?"

"There are things that only Beings with a certain level of Authority can see."

Although that did not explain much, Victor understood. The Authority the woman was talking about was 'Divinity'. The higher your Divinity, the more 'small resources' of The System were available to those who could see and understand it.

... But... That was the rule of the world, and it didn't mean the rule should be followed.

And breaking the rules was something Victor had been doing from the beginning.

Victor's projection began to become more erratic, and soon two Dragon Wings appeared behind him, and the next moment, the wings began to glow with Pure Negative Energy.

"Heh..." The woman observed everything with a curious and evaluative look, and an expression of surprise appeared on her face when the natural blockage of The System was lifted, and she could see beyond what was 'normally' allowed.

'Fufufufu, as expected of an Anomaly. I really want to study him~' She smiled widely as her eyes gleamed.

Victor ignored the 'charming' woman beside him and observed the place.

"... This is unexpected."

"Indeed, it's unexpected... I didn't think you could surpass the Authority. As expected of the greatest genius of the millennium."

Victor shook his head. "I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about this." He pointed to a location.

And this made the woman's delusions subside a bit. She then looked to where Victor had pointed; specifically, she looked at The 'System' since, just like him, she could also observe and interact with it.

"A World of Magic..." The woman's eyes widened.

"Not just that. This is the world where the Special Beings known as 'witches' originally came from... The place from which the Energy known as 'Witch's Magic' originates."

The woman was clearly speechless at what she was witnessing.

"Your daughter tried to acquire an unknown planet, but she ended up finding her way back home... A way back to her Origins, The Origin of 'Magic.' Do you call it luck or twisted fate, Albedo Moriarty?"

"... Do you know me?" By her shocked expression, it was evident that she didn't expect him to know her.

"You're not the only one with access to good information."

She opened her mouth to speak but fell silent, thinking for a few seconds before speaking again: "... The Predation of The Vampire Progenitor, huh." As a researcher, she immediately understood where Victor had obtained this information.

She didn't want to boast, but she was very reclusive, and she could count on one hand how many times she had left her home, and those times she left were simply to obtain something she wanted.

The last time that happened was when she found one of the 72 Pillars of Demons.

And knowing that most of the Original Pillars of Hell had served as Victor's meal, it would not be a surprise if he knew about her. The woman couldn't help but wonder how much information about various types of Beings he had.

She breathed a bit heavily, her pale face turning slightly red. 'I wonder how much Ancient Knowledge I've yet to discover he has inside him.'

Memories of millions, or even billions of Beings were in front of her now, knowledge of Beings who had lived since The Beginning of Time...

She wanted it...! That knowledge! Those memories! She wanted to research the greatest 'genius' of the Supernatural World, the Being who broke all the rules and Ascended to a level that no one had ever thought of in such a short time!

Of course, the research she spoke of didn't mean putting Victor on a laboratory table. Although she found the idea appealing, she wasn't foolish enough to think she had the Power to do that. And even if she had the Power, she wouldn't have that interest. After all, she valued her peace very much, and kidnapping a man loved by so many dangerous women was asking for a headache for several millennia.

"You're drooling," Victor spoke with amusement in his eyes.

"... Ah." She had the decency to blush a little and turn her head.

'Control yourself, Albedo! Maintain your graceful attitude... Yes! Graceful attitude.'

"I apologize for that sight."

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Victor shrugged and looked back at the slowly forming portal.

A confused expression appeared on Albedo's face: 'Used to it? Used to what?' Despite her apparent confusion, she didn't inquire further.

"Haah... What a waste of Energy." Victor sighed as he looked ahead.

The problem wasn't with Evie or even her daughter. Both of them had perfect control over Energy, but the same couldn't be said for the other women.

Their control was good, but not on the level of Evie or her daughter, and that was the problem.

"... I agree. But even with so many flaws in this project, they would have succeeded... Although, I really wonder if letting her open that portal is a good idea." She spoke thoughtfully.

"It's not like you care," Victor said.

"Oh...? That's a bold statement. Although I haven't seen them in a long time, they're my daughter and granddaughter. Of course, I want their well-being."

"...." Victor just looked at the woman with a look that said: Really? Are you saying this nonsense to me?

Albedo pouted and crossed her arms over her ample bosom.

"I can be sentimental sometimes, okay? Don't look at me like that."

"Uhum, and I'm a good person. Look at me. I'm the embodiment of the Purest Angel in the sky." The sarcasm in his words was so obvious that Albedo felt a little burned.

"Ugh, I hate dealing with people like you."

"Oh? Are there others like me out there? As far as I know, I'm quite unique."

Albedo rolled her eyes at his arrogant words, although he wasn't wrong.

"... I'm talking about Beings who have special eyes or an ability to read someone very easily. I can't keep up my act as a worried mother with these Beings."

"Well, you acting like a kind grandmother somehow doesn't suit you."

"Oh?" Albedo's red irises gleamed slightly, and a smile that showed all her sharp teeth appeared.

"For me, you're better this way. It's good to be honest with yourself, right? It's bad not to act in accordance with your own nature."

"Fufufufu~. Now, I understand a little how a woman feels when courted. It's quite interesting, worth researching."

Victor rolled his eyes. "Who's courting you, woman? Wake up to reality."

Instead of getting irritated by his comment, she took it as a learning topic. "I see... So, you're just naturally like this, huh... As expected of a Being made to impregnate women. You know very well how to attract the opposite sex."

Victor fell silent, feeling a bit... Strange and intrigued at the same time. It was the first time he had interacted with someone so 'unique'.

She was clearly the cliché of a mad scientist, but he could see that this was not all there was to her.

"Although this is strange, according to my research, Vlad Tepes doesn't have these womanizing traits, even though he's a Progenitor... Is he a failure? Well, who cares? He's uninteresting."

"Actually, I wonder what the ideal attitude of a Progenitor is? Do they have a role like that of Gods? Hmm, but then again, he broke all the rules... Speaking of which, he also has a business partner like the Progenitor of Demons. I wonder what will come out of the union of two Progenitors of different Species. Will a new Progenitor combining the two species be born? Or will The Balance act again and declare this child an Anomaly?"

Albedo began talking to herself. Clearly, her mouth couldn't keep up with her thought process, and because of that, her speech became flawed and broken, as if something was missing, a habit that Victor noticed she had acquired from spending too much time researching.

'She's completely lost in her own world,' Victor thought.

"This process is quite interesting. Two Progenitors of different Species having a child... I don't think something like this has ever happened."

"I wonder if it's the same as me raising my own daughter."

"And then? What are you going to do about this situation?" Victor asked, not failing to file away what she said at the end about herself.

The way she spoke led him to understand that through her own study, she had 'created' her current daughter, something that honestly wouldn't surprise him if it happened, considering the personality he had seen so far.

She seemed like an alien completely disconnected from the world, just doing whatever she wanted.

'But... I can respect her attitude of being true to herself.' He thought. Very few were able to remain true to themselves regardless of the situation.

Albedo snapped out of her trance and looked at Victor, then looked at what was happening before she responded.

"I will let it happen; I am interested in their efforts." Since Victor already knew her personality, she saw no need to lie. She was more interested in what would happen than her own daughter and granddaughter.

'A world where Magic originated, huh... A fascinating topic indeed. If I research this, I will likely be able to answer some questions I've had for a long time,' she thought.

Victor nodded, having expected these words.

...

Back to his room.

Victor looked at Zaladrac, who was practically trying to merge with his body. Being his first Dragon, he wasted no time and made Zaladrac part of his Family, changing the Dragon's Lineage to his own. Now, she was truly his 'daughter'.

This was a similar process to what happened with Violet and the girls when he was just the Progenitor of Vampires.

Victor removed the influence of the Ancient Progenitor and changed Zaladrac's Race to a Blood Dragon, making her even stronger due to the direct connection she had with him.

He caressed her head, sending a piece of his intent to the Dragon in his arms, and soon he felt her waking up.

Zaladrac opened her eyes lazily. "... I'll be back soon, likely in a few hours. Take care of everything."

"Mm." Zaladrac nodded. When Victor disappeared, she went back to sleep. Clearly, she didn't want to get out of bed right now as she caressed her belly and smiled slightly when she felt so 'full'.

As a Dragon, she could easily receive Victor's 'milk,' a fact that made the other girls who were used to his 'milk' extremely competitive, leading to a new hype for training.

As they say, with the right motivation, Beings could accomplish great things.

"Hmm...~? Darling, gone...?" Jeanne opened her eyes somewhat sleepily as she looked around.

"He went to take care of something... He'll be back soon..." Zaladrac said.

"Mmhmmm..." Jeanne nodded and then closed her eyes, covering her naked body with the blanket.

...

Back at Arcane.

Victor's image became a bit clearer, and soon, he created two chairs and two bags of popcorn.

He clearly came with the intention of watching a movie.

"Popcorn?"

Albedo looked at Victor, realizing that, unlike before, he was really present here. Seeing his relaxed state, she spoke with a smile.

"... I accept." Albedo realized that she could get along very well with this Progenitor. He didn't seem as 'stiff' as she had thought.
