Chapter 1076: Chaos. 2

Chapter 1076: Chaos. 2

"What should we do now?"

Victor's smile grew. "That's obvious... We grow and devour everything in our path."

"I like the sound of that." Azathoth grew a smile similar to Victor's.

Azathoth hugged Victor's back while he put his hand in his pocket and began to walk on air. "First, I must gain more Authority and understand more about Creation."

"The more you learn, the more Authority you gain." Azathoth nodded.

"And the more Authority I have, the closer I will be to the Administrators." Victor continued.

"And the closer they are," Azathoth smiled slightly.

"The easier it will be to discover their weaknesses." Victor added next.

"And consequently, the stronger you will become." She nodded. "And the stronger you become, the closer you will be to freeing me."

"Hmm..."

"...What? What's with the pause? Are you having second thoughts about it!? Aren't you going to free me!?" Azathoth glared at Victor with a look that promised much pain.

Victor chuckled lightly, completely ignoring his Wife's maniacal gaze, and added: "Maybe your release will be sooner than you imagine, my love... And I won't even need to move to make it happen."

"...Oh?" Azathoth climbed up Victor's back and sat on his shoulders, grabbing his face and tilting it up.

Azathoth's face was currently distorted. It wasn't something that could be considered a 'face', and was very similar to the one Victor would sometimes show.

"What are you planning?"

Far from being frightened by this sight, Victor smiled gently. "Use fear."

The two stared at each other for a long time until Azathoth's face returned to normal, and she displayed a large, obscene smile. Her face was slightly red, and she seemed breathless.

"Fear! Of course! That was obvious from the start! Of all the Beings in Existence, only we can use this tactic! Hahahahaha!"

"How cunning, as expected of my Husband..." She fully understood the meaning of Victor's words after only a few seconds of thinking. After all, as Beings of the same nature, they tended to think in a similar way. "I really want to devour you right now."

Victor snorted. "You know you can't take it." He looked back ahead.

"Fufufufu~, we can always try more to see if that's true." She rested her body on his head.

...

Passing through the portal, Victor was greeted by the sight of his Wives.

"Yo, I'm sorry to worry you." He made a V sign with his hand and smiled widely. He looked like a child who had just succeeded in a prank and was pleased about it.

"..." A silence fell over the room until a collective sigh occurred.

"For a moment, I thought he would act like before. Thank goodness he held back this time." Agnes spoke more to herself and her Sisters than to Victor.

"Dealing with Primordials is not like our normal enemies, my love. I know that very well." Victor spoke seriously, leaving aside his jovial personality. "I need to keep my head cool."

"I can't blame him. I feel the same anger," Jeanne said. She was the only one who observed everything from beginning to end. "Luckily, everything was resolved, right?..." She looked at Azathoth, who was on Victor's shoulders. "... Right?"

"Yeah." Azathoth showed a big smile.

"Ugh." A collective groan happened since everyone here knew each other well enough to understand that this simple 'yeah' was not a confirmation that everything was fine but a confirmation that it wasn't over yet. Victor wouldn't let this go... They weren't angry; he wouldn't be Victor if he let what happened go.

It didn't matter if you were a Werewolf, a Vampire, a God, an Eldritch God, or even a Primordial. Victor didn't care.

No one threatened his Family.

"I assume we can't know?" Rose asked.

Victor just gave an apologetic smile, and that smile was all the answer anyone needed.

"Don't thank me. After all, these words aren't 100% reliable depending on the situation... But I will always prioritize our Family, my love."

"...Mm." Jeanne nodded gently. "I will make sure he chooses the right one in the end."

"I'm sure he will." Victor smiled gently, and then he looked at Lilith, Aline, and Persephone.

"My beloved Wives... The Title of Rulers," The intensity of Victor's gaze made the three women flinch slightly, not out of fear but rather because of the intensity of his feelings towards something related to the Primordial of Soul.

"I want you to give it back."

"...Not that I'm against it, but The System needs to work, Darling." Aline reminded Victor.

"I know... And it will. Why do you think I created the Water Dimension, and your brother-in-law kindly gave me control over everything?" Victor smiled.

For a moment, everyone felt confused, but when the Goddesses related to Hell, as well as Jeanne, thought about it, they opened their eyes wide in shock.

"Did you foresee this?" Lilith asked.

"I didn't foresee it." Victor was honest. "I thought the Dimension I was going to create would be attached to The System. I even created a backdoor to influence the Souls... But thanks to our luck, there is a Primordial who hates my Existence."

'But how afraid he is of the existence of the irregulars.' Jeanne thought absently.

"...I guess our Goddess of Luck deserves a raise, huh? Her Blessing is working quite well." Victor chuckled.

"I wonder why you haven't gone after her yet..." Naty said.

"...She... She's too soft." Victor said.

"Hestia, Sasha, and Pepper are too." Eve pointed out.

"But there's madness in them." Victor smiled.

"Haaah." Several sighed simultaneously due to Victor's 'peculiar' tastes.

Hestia didn't even bother to retort this slander since it was true.

"What? What are you talking about? I'm lost here." Maria spoke, and Bruna, Roberta, Leona, as well as several others nodded in agreement with Maria's words.

"...Since the Dimension that Victor created was approved by The System and is being sustained by his Energy, Victor, as King of Hell, can use this connection to provide Souls to The System so that we no longer need to have the Title of Ruler." Lilith sighed.

"That way, he removes us from any kind of influence from the Primordials," Persephone added.

"The special Souls will not be judged, and this judgment will need to be made by the Primordials themselves, thus giving them more work," Lilith added.

"An insignificant job, after all, they have many subordinates," Aline said.

"That's not all. Now, I can keep the best quality Souls because I am both the King of Hell and the King of Heaven of my Pantheon." Victor smiled. "I can even 'merge' the two Soul pieces and resurrect a Being without expending any Energy."

"Wait, isn't the Title of Ruler basically useless to us now?" Lacus spoke.

"Yes," Lilith spoke. "We really should give our Goddess of Luck a raise."

"Don't overdo it, or she'll get too arrogant," Hestia said. She knew her fellow Greeks very well.

"Oh, my dear, Hestia... She won't dare get too arrogant." Aphrodite spoke with a light laugh.

Hestia broke out in a cold sweat. She opened her mouth to ask what Aphrodite was going to do, but upon reflection, she decided that the question wasn't worth her time.
