Chapter 1079: Huma0n? Yes, but not an ordinary one. 2

[All the clones are functioning normally, Darling. Their Souls are stable, as are their bloodlines and their thoughts. They can serve the Empire properly now.]

Except for the Commanders who were specifically created by Victor, the other clones were more 'normal'. That didn't mean they were weak as, while the Commanders could fight against a Primordial God of this Sector and win with effort, the ordinary soldiers were at the level of a High-Level God.

They were strong enough, but it still wasn't enough considering that in the Upper Sectors, the Primordial God level was something quite 'normal' there.

The soldiers needed to be at the level of a Primordial God, and the Commanders needed to be above that. But for that to happen, they needed to awaken Divinities.

Fighting between Gods above the Primordial Level was more of a dispute of Divinities and dominance than a fight itself. Of course, skills also counted, but what was most important was their Mastery and understanding of their Divinity.

Hearing Victor's thoughts, Velnorah sighed. [Your expectations are too high, Darling. You're correct that Primordial God-Level Beings are quite common in the Upper Sectors, but that doesn't mean that it will be the norm... Not to mention that there's us, right? If a Being appears that our soldiers and Elites can't handle, we need to intervene.] [...That's true, but that doesn't mean that my creations have reached their full potential.] Victor both agreed and disagreed. [Rest isn't necessary. They need to get stronger, strong enough to take a serious punch from me.]

[...Not even most of us can take a serious punch from you, and we have a lot of advantages.] Velnorah spoke in an disbelieving tone.

"The only ones who can exchange blows with a serious Victor are Scathach, Rose, and Jeanne. Of course, that's just physically. If he uses his Powers to the fullest, perhaps only Jeanne can handle him.' Velnorah thought. 'And that's because Jeanne has an unfair advantage as one of the oldest Beings in the Universe.

Thinking about her Sister, who no one knew precisely her true origins, she couldn't help but be curious. Looking at Vlad through Victor's eyes, she thought, 'Is this man stupid? How could he treat this woman like that? Didn't he see her potential?'

[Apologies are not necessary. They are the Elites, and Elites need this much efficiency. If they can take a serious punch from me, they can handle most problems in their path.] Victor's expectations were high. After all, they were his soldiers who had his bloodline. [...I feel sorry for the Souls of these children. They came to this world just to suffer.] Velnorah spoke.

[Stop messing around, and tell me about the clone Operators, how are they behaving?]

[.. Well...]

Velnorah looked at the other operation room where there were 30 women with hair of various shades of blonde and white, and just like their 'mother', they also had Angel wings in place of horns. Some even had full Angel Wings, and most of them had pointy ears like Elves. All of them were wearing a completely black Imperial Military uniform, with violet accents.

"How does this work?"

"This technology makes no sense!"

"How is this connected to The Dragon's Heart and The World Tree?"

"As expected of The Emperor, his genius is frightening."

"Idiot, The Emperor didn't do it all alone. The Imperial Wives and the Imperial Princesses helped, too!"

"How do you know that?"

"Didn't you read the report?"

"I didn't."

"Go read the report! What kind of Operator are you!?"

"Gahhhhh!"

Velnorah just stared at this sight with an expressionless face. 'Was it okay to use that woman as the basis for these clones?"

[They're doing well.]

Victor laughed: [Don't be fooled by their games. They're quite efficient, that's just a trait of the original's personality.]

[She was like that!? How did I not see that in the report?]

[All Beings have their sides. On missions, she is serious, cold, and focused, but when she

is at rest, she is pretty casual. You didn't see that because you were just looking at the side she shows on missions.]

[... I need to pay more attention to these little details.] Velnorah muttered. [True. You tend to not pay much attention to other Beings that are not part of our Family, and this lack of attention is doubled in the clones since they are our 'property'. Remember, the clones are alive, and each of them has Souls. They may have come from the same Soul Origin, but eventually, they will distinguish themselves from each other... Future updates will depend a lot on this progress in personality.]

[Yes, Darling.] Velnorah put this notice in her suit's logs to always remember it, realizing that it was something fundamental for the future.

"Hmm?" Victor looked at Alexios when he realized that something had changed.

"What is this? His Soul has become more robust?... Why?' Victor looked more closely and saw that the same Time Energy that was covering him was going to his Soul; he looked at his Wife.

[Did you notice?] Victor said.

[Yes... I didn't expect that either.] Natalia replied.

[If you continue this process, he will become something similar to a Time Elemental. He will no longer be Human.] As someone who understood Souls very well, Victor immediately understood what was happening to him.

"..." Natalia was silent.

Becoming an Elemental meant that he would be completely in tune with his own Element. What happens when a Being becomes completely in tune with a fundamental force of the Universe, like Time?

They didn't know... They had a rough idea of this Elemental's capabilities, and this kind of Power will be like having something close to omniscience. After all, he would be able to observe 'Time', and due to how the rules worked, the only thing he would be able to observe would be a few seconds in the future and the entire past of the Akashic Records, since the past had already been written while the future was changeable.

This kind of experience could change a person completely... Not a very good change.

Looking carefully at his Wife's reaction, Victor closed his eyes, took a step forward, and flew towards Alexios. Natalia didn't speak about her decision as she was undecided, but Victor knew what was best for her. After all, they knew each other very well.

"Darling?" Scathach asked.

"It's nothing, I just have to stabilize something" Victor spoke more to Vlad than to her.

'If he cared so much about his children and Wives, he wouldn't have had so many problems in the past. Victor thought as he rolled his eyes internally.

[I will use my Mastery over Souls and prevent his Soul from changing due to the Energy

of Time, but in return, I will strengthen the Human side to deal with the Energy that is

already present.] He spoke to Natalia.

[... Will you make him a High Human?]

[Yes.] Victor's Dragon Wings expanded behind him, and he touched the cocoon, causing the hue of the Energy to change to dark violet. [His Powers will become a little stronger

over time, but it will not be as abnormal as a Time Spirit.]

[... I see... Are you sure about this decision, Darling?] Natalia asked.

[Your father would not like to live as a restrictive Being like a Spirit...] Becoming a Spirit meant becoming linked to all of Creation, and he would essentially be part of Nature, something similar to the World Trees, and he would need to play his role according to the orders of Creation.

[Alexios is a simple man. He is a good subordinate... He will want to support his king until

the end.]

[That is...] Natalia remembered her father's actions up until now and about his 'pride' towards Vlad. [That is true. Being trapped in such a restrictive form as a Spirit will not

make him happy.]

[Indeed... But it is really a pity.]

[What?]

[Such a loyal subordinate, Vlad is truly lucky.]

[... To my father, Vlad is not only his king but also his friend, and because of that, he has

such loyalty to him.]

"What is this feeling?" He asked the guardians. "That, Vlad, is a High Human."

"... I don't believe it... Did you give him drugs? Is that why he changed so much? But

when did you do that? I was watching the whole time, and I didn't see anything

abnormal."

""

Victor, Natalia, and Scathach looked at Vlad with disbelieving expressions on their faces.

"What?" "...That's why you shouldn't live without consuming entertainment. How does he not know what a High Human is?" Victor said with a sigh.

"Well, that term appears more in fantasy genres, and knowing Vlad, he probably wouldn't like that genre... In fact, I feel like he wouldn't like it at all." Scathach said. In her experience, she had never really seen Vlad have fun other than the traditional way of making children.

"A boring man." Natalia shook her head.

Being burned by the three most powerful Beings in the room, Vlad didn't know how to react to this situation.

"Can you explain what's going on?"

"Haah..." Victor sighed. "You know the first Creation of The Heavenly Father, Adam,

right?"

"Yes,"

"When Adam was born, he wasn't a normal Human. He was a High Human, a 'perfect' Human who was closer to the Supernatural World than the Humans of today. He didn't get sick, he was very strong, and injuries that are considered fatal to Humans today could be healed in just one day with rest. He was in tune with Nature, thus being able to use Nature's Energy to his advantage in the same way that today's Youkai can." Ironically, High Humans were quite similar to Elves from fantasy if you looked closely, the most glaring difference being that High Humans had ridiculous adaptation, while the

Elves lacked it, but in compensation, the Elves could connect even more easily with

Nature.

"..Oh... Are you saying that Alexios is like Adam?"

"Not like Adam, after all, he was a Progenitor, consequently making him stronger than his

normal species, but yes, he is close to that now," Victor spoke as he landed on the

floor. Using his Powers, he gently placed Alexios on the bed.

"Will you stay?" Victor asked Natalia.

"Yes, I will wait for him to wake up."

"Very well, call me if you need anything."

Natalia smiled gently. "I will." She approached Victor and gave him a kiss that lasted a few

seconds.

"Thank you very much for your help."

"....Thanks will come tonight, my dear." Victor displayed a charming smile.

Natalia blushed slightly both at the insinuation and at her Husband's face; he was

beautiful when he smiled, in her humble opinion. "Mm... I will be waiting."

Victor laughed lightly, Natalia was weak to sudden 'attacks'.

As he walked away from Natalia, he said, "I will return to my duties now." He spoke as his

face became neutral, and he was back in Emperor mode.

"I will leave some forces stationed here. If you need to resolve anything, you can

command them." Ignoring the look Scathach was giving him, Victor approached her. "Victor..." Victor looked at Vlad.

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me. I would have done it for my Wife and for Alexios, too." It wasn't a lie. He respected Alexios, his loyalty was admirable.

"Still... Thank you." The Vampire King lowered his head in deep gratitude. This gesture

didn't exist in his culture, and he just did it to show how grateful he was by leaving

himself vulnerable on purpose.

A similar gesture existed in Japanese culture, as well as in animals and Supernatural

Species like Dragons. Lowering the head meant submission, that was what Vlad was

doing.

'Not even with his daughters, he showed so much gratitude... Scathach and Natalia had the same thought.

Ironically, this action of Vlad's made Victor's respect for him grow a little. Even though

his priorities were all wrong, he appreciated this companionship. Such an attitude was

admirable to see.

Lightly touching Vlad's shoulder with his huge hands, he spoke briefly: "Don't give him

too much work, he will need to rest until he adapts to his new self."

"Yes, I will make sure he rests." He nodded seriously. The crimson violet eyes of a Blood Dragon Progenitor and the deep crimson eyes of a

Vampire Progenitor stared at each other for a few seconds.

Victor, looking into those eyes, felt that Vlad's negative feelings diminished by a large

margin.

Who would have thought that in order to gain the Vampire King's trust, you would need

to help his most loyal subordinate! Victor thought, then turned away.

"Until another day, Vampire King."

"...Until another day... Emperor."

Scathach linked her arm with Victor's, and in the next moment, they both disappeared.
