Chapter 1028: Mold the world to my will. 2

"Interesting... Continue."

Lizbet swallowed hard once more and continued, "Offering tangible incentives, such as Blessings, Divine Protection, or material prosperity, can motivate other Beings to join us more easily."

Victor raised an eyebrow. "Hmm, but am I not already offering that to you?"

Lizbet trembled. "Yes, b-but, w-we-..." She bit her tongue.

As she was about to speak again and voice her thoughts, she heard Victor's voice come out in an amused tone as if he were watching an adorable creature.

"Don't be afraid. I don't punish my lovely faithful for expressing their opinion, especially when I'm asking for it."

"I am not a petty God."

'Most of the time,' Victor thought internally. He liked to consider himself a person of common sense. Why would he punish someone when they had done nothing wrong to him? Why would he leave the comfort of his home and sphere of influence to kill some innocent Being?

An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. Blood for blood. That saying was the best way to describe Victor.

As long as no one touched his reverse scale, which was his Family, he was harmless.

[Cough, speak those words to the Gods of both Pantheons you are planning to take control of.] Roxanne pointed out.

[It's all for the greater good, Roxanne, they will understand.] Victor replied with a wise and powerful voice.

Roxanne squirmed, [Don't be influenced by the Hokage and that old wizard, Victor! Be strong!] Roxanne joked.

[Impossible, my dear. The influences of the elders are very strong on this Young Master.]

[Gahh, he's talking like a Young Master now! God help us!]

[Are you talking about me?] Victor smiled.

[Not you! The Heavenly Father!] Roxanne retorted.

[In defense of Darling, it's them who can't keep their hands off our Pantheon. Look at the Angels. At no point have they antagonized us or tried to send spies to us. They are very comfortable in their personal Heaven, and they manage their organization well. Just because they are like that, Darling wouldn't do anything to them.] Amara spoke.

Roxanne shook her head when she saw Amara break her and Victor's banter, then she said:

[... Unlike some stupid Beings, The Heavenly Father has a good sense of Victor's personality, and because of that, conflicts don't happen between us.]

[He is one of the oldest and wisest Gods for a reason.] Victor replied.

[Odin was like that too.] Amara pointed out.

[But greed, paranoia, and his mistakes ultimately bit him in the end.] Victor replied. [I think the biggest advantage of The Heavenly Father is that he is the only Primordial God of his Pantheon, so he has no competition for his position.]

[With the threat of Demons being practically nonexistent, he has no reason to antagonize anyone.]

"Huh?" The woman exclaimed.

"What's happening?" The man spoke while looking around, and seeing the tall man beside him, he instinctively felt fear, but something inside him understood that the man was his Creator.

"...Creator..." When he spoke these words, his eyes became lifeless.

Seeing this, the woman tried not to look in that direction and to leave this place, but Victor's voice stopped her movements.

"Remain silent."

"Yes," they both spoke at the same time.

Throughout all this, Lizbet and Rena merely watched with shocked eyes. They had just witnessed a pair of Mortals being created! They had witnessed Divine Works! This was an opportunity they would never have had in their lives!

"As you can see, Lizbet, creating Life for me is easy. I could create millions of Beings and make them completely loyal to me, but... What's the point of that?"

The two exchanged confused looks since, from their perspective, wouldn't it be easier to create these Beings to have more manpower?

"You may not understand, but a Being's Soul shines more intensely when it faces danger or when it exercises its Will. Moments like personal achievements or emotional conquests also make the Soul shine and grow. This is something that cannot be replicated with mere puppets."

"Even if I were to create these Beings only to worship me, would they truly desire that in their own Soul? The answer to that question is no."

"Free Will is necessary for the Soul to grow because only through the exception of the individual's Will can the Soul embark on its journey. But Free Will without control only leads us to a civilization you have seen in the past."

Victor snapped his fingers, and the two Beings disappeared from existence as if they had never existed in the first place.

"What I want is quality. What I want are Beings who truly believe in my teachings. My Wives and my Disciple understand this, and therefore, they are not readily trying to bring these new Followers into the Inner Circle of faithful."

Kaguya's eyes widened. 'No, no, no. This is the first time I'm hearing this! What is he talking about?' Victor's words were completely contradictory! This was not in the established script! She quickly contacted Violet and discussed this matter with her.

[Violet!]

[Yes?] Violet's hologram appeared in front of her.

[Listen to this!] Kaguya immediately sent the recording her suit captured of what happened to Violet. She didn't want to explain since it was better for Violet to see for herself.

Meanwhile, she continued to look at Victor.

"With that in mind, tell me, what should I do to achieve my goals?" He asked.

Lizbet and Rena fell silent as their brains had never been as active as they were today. They were exerting themselves to use their full mental capacity to answer the Emperor's question.

"...We continue with what we are doing, but we will not focus on getting anyone to join our Religion. The teachings of The Blood God's Bible says that we should respect Free Will. The God Emperor reinforced this thought, therefore... We will use this opportunity created to establish foundations."

"Sacred places, where there will be public access, we will leave our Acolytes in these sacred places and gradually bring people together through learning the values of the God Emperor," Rena said.

Continuing Rena's words, Lizbet said, "We will send our Emissaries to convey our teachings and values to the citizens, not intrusively, but through community involvement, and we will eventually secure everyone under our influence."

Victor's smile grew slightly.
