Chapter 1057: An Action Outside the Plans, But Not That Outside the Plans.
While Victor was overseeing the progress of his Daughters and Wives in the Dream he had created with his Powers, he received a message from his Heralds.
This message caused Victor to raise an eyebrow in slight surprise. These days, few things could surprise the Dragon Emperor, and this message was definitely something he hadn't expected.
'Considering how sensible Shiva is, I should have expected this action from him.' Victor realized he needed to drop the prejudice that all Gods were foolish.
... Most were definitely foolish Gods, full of arrogance, who couldn't see beyond their limited vision.
But a select few were not like that: Buddha, Shiva, Amaterasu, and even Diablo himself, who wasn't a God but rather a Primordial Demon, were not foolish Beings.
Victor understood this, he comprehended this, he accepted this... But often, he had been thinking they were all stupid. More precisely, he had been regarding them all as if they were brainless monkeys, with some other monkeys who were smarter than them. After all, some monkeys could destroy planets.
Consider Big Guy as a perfect example: the Guardian of his Wife, and subsequently his own Guardian, was a very perceptive Being. After all, he had to be in order to protect Roxanne while she was just a sprout.
'Thinking about it, my Daughters haven't developed their own Guardians... Maybe they don't need them because of me?' Despite being World Trees, his Daughters with Roxanne and Amhara were too abnormal to be typical World Trees; hence, this rule might or might not apply to them.
It was hard to know, considering there has never been a Being that has successfully impregnated a World Tree. Perhaps some from the Upper Sectors had attempted the act but ultimately failed.
Victor could have children with any Being precisely because he was a God of Beginnings, and he was sure that the number of Gods with that Title could be counted on one hand throughout the history of the Universe. After all, the Divinities at the top of the Power Hierarchy were very difficult to obtain and even more challenging to train to enhance.
"I presume you already know what's happening," Anna spoke with a very serious expression.
The fact that Victor possessed the Divinity of Beginnings and Negativity and still managed to train both at the same time was insane.
Setting aside these thoughts, Victor looked for Kali in his world and saw that she was not present. Checking the records of his world, he saw that she had left a few hours ago.
Just a few seconds after he received this message from his Heralds, his Wife contacted him.
"I presume you already know what's happening," Anna spoke with a very serious expression.
"Yes, indeed," Victor nodded, showing a curious face.
"What's the likelihood Kali has said something?" Anna wasted no time and went straight to the point.
"Nonexistent," Victor declared. "You don't easily circumvent a Contract made with the Dragon Emperor." With Victor's experience and the memories he had of ancient and elusive Beings like Diablo, Lucifer, and the Elder Gods, he knew very well how to craft a severely restrictive Contract.
Even the ancient Witch Albedo declared that not even she could escape a Contract made by Victor. Victor did not joke about the safety of his Family, so the probability of Kali having said something to Shiva was very low, if not nonexistent.
"Don't be so sure of everything. After all, there are things out there that we don't know about," Anna warned him.
Victor's thought process was interrupted for a few milliseconds, and that was enough for him to evaluate that his Wife was right. Even though he could feel that the contract with Kali was still valid and that she hadn't said anything, he shouldn't assume that was what happened.
Being cautious and paranoid was essential, especially when dealing with Beings who are Leaders of a Pantheon that control other Gods.
Memories of Niklaus being dragged by some God from another Sector flashed through his mind.
'Something I have to resolve in the future.' Although Niklaus's Daughter was under his protection, the man himself was not. The previous Vlad's brother was determined in his desire for revenge, and he would achieve it no matter what.
The problem was that if he succeeded, Ophis would be sad, and Victor did not want his Daughter to be saddened by this. Despite it being a personal issue for Vlad, Victor would still interfere.
'Maybe I'll kidnap both of them and make them fight.' Victor thought randomly. He still didn't know exactly what he would do... But he had MANY ideas, most of which were not good for either Vlad or Niklaus. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"That's true," Victor nodded.
Victor displayed a slight smile that could be considered mischievous. "My dear Wife... I am never alone."
Hundreds of eyes appeared across the Emperor's body and stared directly at Anna with their blood-red eyes.
A macabre sight that would scare anyone to death, but not Anna.
"Indeed... Sometimes, I forget that."
A shadow of an animal emerged from the ground, a very familiar animal. "Zack."
The previously harmless and somewhat fat cat, now a threat that could destroy the world, looked at Victor.
"Meow?"
"You know what to do."
A mischievous smile appeared on the cat's face, and soon he disappeared.
Anna rolled her eyes. "Why does he keep meowing? He's no longer a cat."
"He can be whatever he wants, a cat, a tiger, a lion..." Remembering the real form of his cat, he continued: "A beast that can destroy the world."
"It all depends on Zack's will."
"He can be a good lover too..." Anna narrowed her eyes: "How many Wives does he have again?"
"...We don't talk about that."
Anna snorted. "This cat is so similar to you that it's not even funny. After his change, who would have thought he would get along with the felines that live on this planet?"
In response to these words, Victor just showed a proud smile. Due to the influence of his childhood friend, practically all the felines on the planet were becoming deadly creatures... Creatures that the biggest of them could destroy planets.
"Coincidentally, the last time I checked, he stopped picking up chicks around with the same number of Wives that you have... Do you know anything about that?"
"He's a bro." That was the only explanation Victor gave.
As a form of respect, Zack would never have more 'chicks' than his friend, so he didn't go looking for another lover.
Victor personally thought that Zack just didn't want to deal with all the bullshit that came with being in a relationship. Even though things in the animal world were more straightforward, they were still problematic.
Victor understood this. Even though he found these problematic situations amusing, he recognized that was the abnormal one here.
