Chapter 988: Scathach is frustrated.

Victor's personal world.

Violet entered through the door of one of her personal rooms when she spotted Scathach sitting in a chair near a fireplace while reading a book. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Where's Darling?"

"He went out with Valentina and the other two troublemakers."

Violet narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard Scathach speak of her daughters, but she stayed quiet; after all, she wasn't wrong, and Scathach wasn't using it as a derogatory term.

Valentina Victoria Elderblood was born as a perfect blend of her and Victor; she never thought that naming her 'Victoria,' which was the feminine form of Victor, would be so perfect for her.

Why did Violet choose Victoria as a second name? It's obvious; it was to satisfy her obsession; she wanted her daughter to have a name similar to Victor's.

By the way, Valentina was Victor's choice as a name.

"I wonder why he wants to deal with this personally," Violet reflected.

"The Witches?" Violet asked, guessing a possible reason for Victor's leaving now.

"Yes."

"Hmm..." Violet sits on the sofa in front of Scathach and crosses her legs; after having a daughter, she acquired a mature and seductive 'tone' in all her behavior.

"I wonder why he wants to deal with this personally," Violet reflected.

"Probably, he wants to exercise his powers on ants, boasting the fact that he was the only one trained in these two thousand years," Scathach growled with visible annoyance.

"Are you still upset about this?"

"Of course! I wasted 1600 years without training! I've never done anything like this before," Scathach grunted in frustration, even though for the next 400 years she trained in the nightmare tower, the progress she could have made training the full 2000 years was much greater!

At least that was her thought; she didn't know if that was true or not considering that at some point, what mattered most was the progression of divinity, something that even with all the resources Victor gives, is still a long and slow process.

Scathach has reached the maximum of her divinity now, and to further improve, she needs to learn new divinities or elevate her current divinity beyond the limit thanks to characteristics that all had of not having limits, but this last one could draw the attention of the primordials, something that no one in the group wants now, so the only option left was to learn new divinities, refine her current abilities, and wait for the higher sectors to arrive.

Violet rolled her eyes. "Time is relative for us; if he wants, Darling can keep you stuck in one place for 10,000 years now. Not that it would help much, after all, to advance in our divinity, it's not training that we need, it's understanding... But, do you want to do that? I can try to convince Darling to allow you to do that, even if he doesn't support it."

Scathach fell silent; although the suggested offer was good, she didn't want to be away from her daughter... Siren was everything she had ever dreamed of, determined, full of potential, very much like her.

That doesn't mean she suddenly stopped disliking Ruby, Siena, Lacus, or Pepper; it's just... She had a special place in her heart because she's a creation of hers and her husband and a man she recognized she handpicked, not someone she just used and discarded like Ruby's old father.

"... That's true."

Scathach sighed as she leaned back in the chair; it had been a while since she had felt so 'at peace' without the need for embarrassing training. Ironically, it was only when she rested that she made significant progress in her powers, and even awakened her divinity, which unsurprisingly was related to War, Teaching, and Ice.

Characteristics that were more predominant in Scathach.

Speaking of divinities, all the girls awakened their respective divinities that matched their personalities and powers, and all their daughters somehow were born with divinities that belonged to their parents or a complete mixture of their parents'.

After so many examples, it was obvious that the blood dragons were imitating some aspects of the noble vampires, for example, the ability for the next generation to be born with more potential than the parents. This effect was passed on to the blood dragons, but it wasn't as effective as the noble vampires.

The reason for this is because they were dragons; from the beginning, they were already full of potential that depended only on their own efforts to flourish, not to mention that they were all Victor's children.

It's not that the mother didn't matter; there are many talented women who are Victor's wives, but the man was just too abnormal, and because of that, his offspring were guaranteed to be super-talented, much more than a normal true dragon.

He was the highest-quality stallion with the best genes, so it was obvious that his descendants would be born like this, especially with such talented women, and some as abnormal as in the case of Jeanne.

Scathach and Violet continued to stare at the fireplace with various thoughts in their heads; a comfortable silence fell until it was broken by Violet.

"2000 years, huh... I never thought I would find so much time, so little time now."

"Our senses have been numbed since we became gods and true dragons. Two races that are practically immortal."

Not that the noble vampire wasn't immortal, but by godly standards, the noble vampires were very... inadequate. The reason for this is their involvement with mortals, while for the gods, 10,000 years is a short time, for the noble vampires who usually interact more with mortals, it's a long time.

Therefore, their worldview is more or less intertwined with mortals, but dragons and gods are different; for them, the passage of time is just that, the passage of time, it doesn't make much difference to them.

Living in such a small community full of true dragons, the women felt this strangeness firsthand, while they were having fun with Victor, peeling and reading, or even entertaining themselves with the various media that were constantly replenished by their subordinates.

1000 years passed in the blink of an eye... And they didn't even notice it. They only saw the passage of time because Ophis and Nero had grown at some point when they were relaxed with everything, and even became true dragons too.

But even after discovering this, nothing changed in the routine, except for those more stubborn like Scathach and Haruna who realized that they had wasted a lot of time doing nothing.

But since during this period they were still in gestation, they could only content themselves with doing administrative work or spending time reading; any extra exercise Victor would intervene, and not even Scathach, as stubborn as she is, wanted to argue with Victor with those extremely serious eyes.

It was obvious that no matter what they said, nothing would convince them to let them train.

The time they spent managing things was even more unrealistic for them because unlike Victor's personal dimension, the world outside was passing normally, so a strange feeling settled in the women who cared about the passage of time.

Victor understandably refused completely to create a method to track time and let them understand how much time had passed; this thought was also shared by the goddesses of the group and the women like Carmila, Maya, and Tasha.

In their opinion, it was better for them not to think about it and just focus on the things at hand. This was something that Scathach agreed with after some time; thinking about the time she had 'lost' was making her unnecessarily irritated, so she tried not to think about it.
