Chapter 891: A New Day, a New Beginning. 3

"You must understand why I came here."

"Yes, kinda," Victor didn't deny Amaterasu's words. He picked up an onigiri from the table and began eating. As a Blood Dragon, his diet primarily consisted of blood, but that didn't mean he couldn't eat other foods.

"But words are necessary in a negotiation, right?" He smiled slightly. "So, tell me your thoughts."

With sun-like golden eyes, the Goddess glanced briefly at Victor, a hint of dissatisfaction welling up in her heart. 'If you know why I came here, don't make a lady spell it out for you, and take charge of the conversation!' She wanted to say that, but she knew it would be quite impolite.

And logically speaking, she had come seeking a more 'meaningful' alliance with Victor, so it was up to her to speak, even if she was somewhat dissatisfied. After all, these things should be done by men, right? As an ancient woman, she valued traditional customs highly.

"I want a deeper alliance with The Dragon's Nest through a marriage between you and me," Amaterasu said as she opened her fan in front of her.

"Mm, that's possible," Victor nodded as he picked up a piece of sashimi. "But what can the Shinto Pantheon offer me?"

Amaterasu narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this question. Wasn't marrying her supposed to be a reward in itself? She was a God-Queen, you know? The Gods would practically beg for her attention while this man... He didn't even show any interest.

'Annoying...' She grumbled internally.

"What do you desire?"

"Honestly, I don't have anything I desire from your Pantheon," Victor was honest.

The blacksmiths for which the Shinto Pantheon was known? Please, he didn't need that; he had Hephaestus himself working for him.

In The Supernatural World, not even the Norse Dwarves could compare to him alone.

Lands? Victor had an entire Pantheon of lands and a whole planet; he didn't need that.

Wealth? If he wished, he could shatter the entire world's economy; his ability to control Creation was that overpowered.

Soldiers? Victor was a God of Beginnings, the beginning of everything, and he could create any form of Life to be his subordinate. If he combined this ability with the abilities of the Progenitor of Vampires and Dragons, along with his Divinity of Negativity that gave him better access to Souls, he could literally create life like a God of Creation.

Women? Victor had the most beautiful women in the Supernatural World, and he loved each of them with an obsessive passion. nove(lb)In

Influence? The current Supernatural World wouldn't dare to ignore any of Victor's requests due to his two main Divinities. He had become the most influential God in existence.

In other words, he didn't need anything from Amaterasu'santheon. But he wouldn't be unkind to her since she had helped him in The Gathering of Supernatural Beings by standing by his side.

Victor's philosophy had never changed: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood.

Amaterasu had treated him kindly, and he wouldn't repay that kindness with malice. But the fact that she had nothing to offer Victor remained.

Amaterasu knew all of this. There was a reason she had been invited here, and that was to realize Victor's 'greatness.' She was a smart woman; no words needed to be said to understand that she was in an inferior position here.

It wasn't The Dragon's Nest that needed Amaterasu; Amaterasu needed The Dragon's Nest.

...But despite understanding this, she still wanted a better position than just being a subordinate. She wanted to be his Wife, and The Wife of The Chaos Dragon God held a lot of power.

Therefore, she wasted no time and decided to play her trump card.

Amaterasu reached into her kimono and pulled out something; she opened her hand, and a small Energy sphere appeared in her palm.

"... Oh?" Victor looked at the Energy sphere with curiosity. He could feel the Power of Creation in that sphere, although it wasn't as great as that of The Heavenly Father.

"This is the Essence of my father and my mother, the Gods who created my Pantheon."

"The Essence of a God of Creation."

"As a Dragon, you can control Creation but can't 'create' anything from scratch unless many conditions are met."

Amaterasu spoke briefly, but everyone here understood her intention. In exchange for a stronger alliance, Amaterasu was offering to make Victor even more powerful.

"Interesting," Victor looked at Amaterasu with his crimson-violet eyes. "Are you willing to sacrifice something so important for this alliance?"

Despite being a new God, Victor understood the importance of The Essence of Creation very well. Even such a small amount of Essence gave Amaterasu unprecedented authority. This Essence could also be used in case of emergencies as an attack; he could create something sturdy enough to defend himself or something dangerous enough to annihilate his enemies.

In other words, this was Amaterasu's trump card.

"It's an investment," Amaterasu said seriously. "You are a Being who has gone from a mere Human to a significantly powerful Dragon in this Sector."

Velnorah opened her eyes slightly when she heard Amaterasu's words. Then, she looked at Victor with an even more incredulous expression. She had just realized that he wasn't a Being born with Power but one who had fought to gain that Power.

Victor smiled internally when he saw this reaction from the corner of his eyes. 'This woman... She's very clever. She used this information right now to further improve my impression with a potential ally...'

Victor thought Amaterasu would get along well with Ruby, Aline, and Aphrodite.

"Are you willing to bet on me? Even without knowing if my future will be bright or not?" Victor asked.

"Well, that's the meaning of a bet, isn't it?" She smiled slightly.

"You're not wrong," Victor nodded with a small smile on his face. He looked at the Goddess with long black hair and then at the Energy sphere.

That sphere was undoubtedly precious. To gain any Concept of Creation, he would have to kill and absorb a God of Creation. The only current God with those characteristics was The Heavenly Father, whom Victor didn't want to harm, as The Heavenly Father was a valuable ally.

"I understand the proposal, and I understand the importance of this Essence," Victor began to speak.

"So..." Amaterasu's golden eyes opened with some excitement, but that excitement quickly turned to confusion when she heard Victor's next words.

"But, do you understand what it means to be my Wife?"

"... What do you mean?"

"To be my Wife means that you will be mine forever..." Victor's eyes began to lose the spark of life, and all that remained were two eyes resembling black holes.

"No matter if you try to run away, no matter if you try to distance yourself, I will find you, and I will take you back."

Amaterasu swallowed hard. 'He's the God of Yanderes for a reason...' She thought.

"Are you prepared for that?"

"H-Humpf, don't underestimate me, Victor," Amaterasu huffed. "I wouldn't have come here if I weren't prepared for this."

Victor continued to look at her in silence, a silence that Amaterasu found incredibly uncomfortable.

"Amaterasu-ōmikami, are you absolutely sure about what you're saying?" Victor asked again.

"...Yes," Amaterasu nodded seriously.

But at this moment, her face changed to confusion when she felt her Soul being bound to Victor. "E-Eh?"

Pure confusion appeared on her face, unable to understand how someone could so easily bind her Soul.

"Don't be so confused. This is an Authority that encompasses the Concept of 'Yandere'."

"...Huh?" She still didn't understand. What did this new Divinity have to do with her Soul being bound? And how could a new Diety bind her so easily? She was a GOD-QUEEN! It shouldn't have been that easy!

Little did she know that this binding was only possible because she had accepted Victor's words while he was looking at her with those obsessive eyes.

"In simple terms... You've become the target of my obsession," Victor smiled slightly. "And because of that, our Souls are linked. Now, I will know where you are at all times, even if you're on the other side of the galaxy, in another galaxy, in another dimension, or even in a separate 5th dimension."

"No matter where you run, I will find you."

'This is not at all threatening,' Amaterasu shivered as she became even more emotionally unbalanced when she felt Victor's emotions.

His overwhelming 'Love' was so oppressive that it left her feeling suffocated. And that love wasn't even directed at her!

'How do the other Wives handle this?' Amaterasu was still underestimating the kind of hole she had gotten herself into.

All the women who saw Victor's beauty wanted to be something of his, but few could actually handle his personality.

Amaterasu blinked her eyes, and before she knew it, she was next to Victor.

"H-huh?"

"From now on, you are one of my Wives. The official ceremony can be held later. For now, I will pamper you a little."

"Wait—" Before she could say anything, an onigiri rice ball was placed in her mouth, and she unconsciously bit into it and started chewing.

"Delicious?" He asked with a gentle smile.

Amaterasu simply nodded with a red face; she wasn't expecting this sudden attack!... It was not that she disliked it or anything... She was just taken by surprise and didn't know what to do! After all, she wasn't used to physical intimacy like this!

Victor laughed and began stroking her head. He really liked this ability to reduce such an ancient Goddess to the state of a young girl who didn't know what to do.

"One matter has been resolved. Let's continue to the next one."

"I should—" Amaterasu tried to say something, but she was silenced by another onigiri rice ball.

"You are my Wife, so you should stay and listen as well."

She looked at Victor with a mixture of slight resentment and embarrassment on her face but continued eating.

'Delicious... Did he do all of this with just a hand gesture?' Swallowing the onigiri rice ball, she tried to speak.

"The sphere—." Once again, another rice ball was placed in her mouth.

"Don't worry about that. As my Wife, I will retrieve that sphere in due time. For now, I want you to keep it safe."

She nodded with a heart full of resentment, shame, and slight amusement. Despite not liking it initially, she realized that being pampered like this wasn't so bad... as she chewed with her mouth closed in a very dignified manner, she thought that this life wouldn't be so bad.

Victor nodded in satisfaction and continued to stroke Amaterasu's hair. Perhaps because she was a Sun Goddess, her black hair was 'somewhat' warm as if he had touched the surface of the sun.

Victor was a little amazed that her hair didn't burn everything around her. 'This just proves the control she has over her own Power.'

Victor turned his gaze back to Velnorah. "Tell me what you desire from me."

"Just like Lady Amaterasu, I desire an alliance." Initially, Velnorah wouldn't address her with respect since she wasn't important. But that changed when she became Victor's Wife, so she needed to show a minimum of respect to her to avoid offending Victor.

"Mm," Victor nodded.

"So you want my strength... Why?"

Velnorah continued to silently look at Victor until she raised her palm upward, and a blue hologram appeared above the table.

"To understand why I need your help, I need to explain why I came to this Sector in the first place."

Victor looked at the hologram with interest. "Continue; I'm listening."

Velnorah nodded and made some hand gestures. Soon, an image of a planet was displayed as she opened her mouth and began to tell the story of her life.
