Chapter 967: A Big Deal.

Chapter 967: A Big Deal.

Everything was according to plan. Several years of planning had not been in vain. The death of Vali, Odin's bastard son, a son he came to like a little more than the others due to his nature being an exact copy of Odin himself.

The man was the exact copy of Odin when he was younger, because of this, the god favored him, even though he was not a full god but a demigod.

A death she caused after several manipulations, she even kept his soul just to rub this feat in Odin's face.

Years of planning that led her to steal various exceptional beings from other pantheons. Even now, Leonidas, Julio, and Vlad were not the only exceptional souls she had.

She had made several backup plans in case the war did not go as planned, after all, caution against Odin was never too much.

Everything was according to her plan. Even the possibility of becoming incapacitated due to the summoning of END. Everything was according to her plan... But... He wasn't.

Hela glanced sideways at Victor while biting her lip in frustration due to the recent news.

The other beings of the pantheon had disappeared... The Light and Dark Elves. The ice and fire giants, the dwarves, the hidden fairies, even Freya who fled the battlefield leaving Odin at her mercy.

All these individuals vanished as if they never existed, and even with her preparations, she couldn't do anything about it.

What should she do? Speak to the assembly of supernatural beings to condemn Victor? Okay, let's suppose she does that, and by some divine miracle, they listen to her... What can they do against Victor?

Kill him?

Hah! If it were that easy, several powerful beings would have done so in the past! Although beings like Shiva or perhaps Kali could fight against him... What should they do about their faction?

A whole faction of true dragons, the name of The Dragon Nest was quite obvious what awaited them in the face of this action.

If the supernatural world attacks Victor, they might even defeat him, but the losses would be immeasurable, and it would only weaken the entire supernatural world. A luxury they couldn't afford now due to the sector's evolution to a higher level.

Therefore, this scenario is completely unrealistic. Not to mention, she wouldn't do it even if she wanted to, the reason being that Hela may be many things.

Manipulative, a traitor, a petty woman, and someone who holds grudges very easily, but she was not ungrateful or a fool.

Victor helped her TWICE. First, he fixed her low vitality issue, something she already knew would happen when she summoned the END dragon.

A powerful being she would use as leverage against Odin, and initially would have more participants in the war. Something that changed when Victor helped her for the first time by restoring her vitality. Due to this help, she didn't need to use all the favors of the END Dragon.

Frigga's death may only be seen as a small matter for the powerful, the reward of getting him out of that place still allows her to use the dragon once more. Something that also took her by surprise when the END dragon spoke to her.

There were two things Hela did not foresee in this war, the intervention of an anomaly like Victor, and the possible destruction of her pantheon caused by her irresponsible actions.

Initially, she planned to wage a war of resistance, at least until she regained some of her vitality to summon her most powerful weapons, but that wasn't necessary.

Despite all the setbacks, his plan could be said to have been a success, she defeated Odin, and captured all his children, even his useless father.

Hela was the victor. And when she was about to make war plans to subjugate the other races, and Freya who fled. She discovers that the races disappeared.

The places that were once home to these races are completely uninhabited, as if everyone had moved away.

She didn't need to think twice to understand that this was Victor's doing, specifically his faction. She does not doubt this fact, if he was able to ignore the powerful senses of beings like the END beasts, it was very easy for him to do the same with his subordinates, right?

So, while she was busy subjugating Asgard, Victor's forces kidnapped all the other races. Hela effectively owned a land without inhabitants now, where only slaves she captured in the war existed.

She won... Yes, she won. But this was a bitter victory, she couldn't be happy about it.

"So, this is what he meant by not going after the other beings." Hela thought as she remembered Victor's words.

"Haah..." Hela leans back in her chair as she sighed. She was tired, not physically, but mentally.

She pondered, what should she do now? It's not like she wanted to rule over these useless beings, she just wanted revenge, and she already achieved that, the latter part of the plan to subjugate the other races was mainly to stroke her ego. She wanted to show everyone who mocked her how superior she was. nove(l)bi(n.)com

Yes, in less than two months, their faction was completely established, and Victor subsequently changed his surname to Elderblood.

Becoming the first Emperor Victor Elderblood, the progenitor of chaos creatures.

A rather extravagant title, but one that suited Victor quite well, after all, despite being the Progenitor of blood dragons, he is also the God of Begin, thanks to this divinity, he can initiate any new race if he so desires. And as the god of Negativity, which represents every negative aspect of divinity, thanks to this he literally had no limitations when creating a race, or even altering an existing race.

If he wished, he could create both a race that came from the negative aspect of the balance, as from the positive aspect. Some ancient gods even suspected that he could mix both sides of the balance to create beings that represented both sides of the scale.

After all, his divinities enable him to do so, but whether he can or not is an unknown question.

His powers are not limited to that, some gods more versed in the soul know that if he so desires, he can completely change the soul of a being, he could transform the soul of an ant into that of an ordinary human, or an ordinary human into that of an ant.

He had no limitation in this, as long as there is a soul, he can completely alter the existence of a being.

The description that mortals often speak of GOD is slowly becoming the image of Victor, all thanks to his divine authorities.

Therefore, Elderblood is a quite fitting name since all creatures with blood, he can control and create. Not to mention that essentially in the near future, all mortal creatures will have some of this man's influence in their bodies.

Not only Shiva, Indra, and the God King of the Celtic pantheon were here. Amaterasu and Haruna were also present.

But they were being ignored. The reason for this? The horns proudly adorning their heads. They clearly belonged to Victor's faction, if the horn and draconic eyes weren't proof enough, the way they sat next to Victor was more than enough.

In terms of influence, Victor had the most authority here. And as his empress, Violet carried as much authority as he did.

"That was quite a remarkable display, Lady Hela." Victor spoke with amusement as he looked at the image of Hela 'heroically' defeating Odin.

Hela refrained from rolling her eyes at Victor's words, although they didn't have a very close relationship as husband and wife, they exchanged conversations and experiences in the last two months, even the suggestion to make the video that miraculously he had possession of was made by him.

A video that had recordings of ALL the events of the war from different angles. Even one of the recordings caught him directly face to face, and she clearly didn't sense anyone in front of her at that moment of the recording.

It was only when Hela saw this video that she understood that she clearly underestimated Victor, much more than she should have. Make no mistake, after the events of the 'future' Victor, she made a point to assess Victor as highly as possible with her understanding of powers and creation.

But even so, she completely underestimated him. It got to the point where she's just beginning to think that he can do whatever he wants because he's Victor.

Unknowingly, Hela was being infected with the same symptoms that Victor's wives have, what is this symptom? It's a simple phrase that says, "First time? Don't worry, you'll get used to it."

Victor was that abnormal.

"Now, what do you want? As the conqueror of an entire pantheon, you have the respect of everyone here, so even though you're not exactly the leader of the Nordics, you can make a request."

Victor's words were not a lie, despite the initial shock, the respect that supernatural beings had for Hela only grew, after all, in this world, what mattered most was strength.

And a woman capable of commanding three END creatures deserved that respect.

Victor clearly took command of the meeting, a gesture that no one spoke against, in the past, it was Shiva who did this, after all, he was the STRONGEST, but now that title was in the hands of Victor, even if the two hadn't fought to prove who was the strongest or not, only in divine authority, Victor was superior to everyone here.

Not to mention that no one doubted that he could defeat Shiva, after all, he was Victor, right? An abnormal being.

"I want to sell the Nordic pantheon. Those who give me the highest bid of artifacts and precious materials will receive from me the key to the entire Nordic pantheon."

As if a bomb had dropped into everyone's minds, she declared her intentions. Everyone was very shocked by this.

Hela once again felt the urge to strangle Victor, his shocked reaction was the same as everyone else's, it's as if he didn't know anything! Seriously, he was a very good actor!

Even his wives didn't lose to him in acting, because clearly everyone related to Victor knew her intentions.

"That is..." Victor coughs slightly to indicate that he was recovering from the shock. "That is quite surprising..."

...
