Chapter 1072: A Simple Man. 2



Chapter 1072: A Simple Man. 2

In the deepest part of Victor’s Soul.

Amara and Roxanne, who were watching all this, just listened to everything in silence.

“… Should we be worried about this?” Amara asked a little nervously. “Maybe Darling is working too hard?”

“… I don’t know? Maybe?” Roxanne answered uncertainly. It was hard to know since it was impossible for her to imagine Victor being tired, either mentally or physically.

“Maybe he’s just contemplating things… You know, like those Ancient Gods who are searching for The Meaning of Life or something.”

“Oh, like that turtle who says things vaguely just to sound wise.” Amara nodded.

“I don’t know why you used the cartoon our Daughters watched as an example, but yes, you’re right.” Roxanne nodded.

“You’re strange, Dragon Emperor,” Poseidon spoke in a weak voice.

“Heh.” Victor looked at Poseidon. “Enlighten me. Why do you think I’m strange? I will allow you to speak freely.”

“… A Being with so much Power tied to superfluous things like ‘Family’ and ‘Responsibility’… You remind me of Hestia and her annoying speech sometimes.”

Victor’s eyes sparkled in amusement, and using his senses, he looked at the little project he was working on. Seeing that he had time until everything he was doing with his Powers was ready, he decided to answer a dead man’s curiosity.

“From my perspective, you’re the strange one,” Victor answered honestly, and he meant it from the bottom of his heart. Even now, with hundreds of memories of other Gods, he couldn’t understand them completely.

Yes, he understood their actions and what led to them through their memories, but he didn’t understand the Beings themselves. No matter if he saw their lives or not, their foundations were built differently from Victor’s. Despite being who he was, Victor’s values ??were still from when he was Human.

The person he grew up to be, that core part of his personality never changed, and because of that, he didn’t understand them.

“God of The Seas, Second Eldest Son of Kronos, you could have been an example to the other Gods of your Pantheon, but instead, you’re just… This.”

Why are you so useless? That was the expression on Victor’s face. As a God, he could do so many more things, but instead, he was content to stay in his comfortable little piece of the world, being a frog at the bottom of a well.

Victor couldn’t help but look at him like he was a floating piece of shit, and considering the state of his body and mentality, he might as well be.

“… Differences in perspectives, I guess.” Poseidon looked at the sun in the distance. “I came into existence as a God, and the moment I was born, I was eaten by my father, where I stayed until I became an adult.”

“After being rescued by my younger brother and fighting in the war, I awakened my Divinity and received my Domain… From that moment on, I relaxed, I guess…” Memories of how he grew up and became what he was appeared in Poseidon’s mind. It was confusing for him to know which memories were real and which were not since sometimes the Dreams he witnessed changed even his story.

“We were… Full of ambition, like children who received great Powers and didn’t know what to do with them.” For some reason, the memories of this real past began to become clearer.

He now remembered how Demeter and Hera were two insufferable women; they may have been his sisters, but they were too annoying. All Poseidon wanted was to use them both and then leave.

‘Too bad Zeus got there first.’ He mentally shrugged.

Funny, he remembered having that thought with Hestia, but since she was the oldest of them and the strongest, she didn’t act like that initially. Even after picking up his trident, he didn’t do it because Hestia was always accompanied by her mother, Rhea. Sometime later, Hestia swore that she would be a virgin forever, thus having the protection of Olympus itself.

Clearly, it was a weak oath, considering that Hestia was now married to the man in front of him.

“Full of ambitions? Maybe, but those ambitions were for such superfluous things that it’s not even funny.”

“Maybe… But that’s what an ambition is. It doesn’t have to be grandiose, and it can even be stupid, but it’s your ambition, your personal desire, therefore, it’s not useless.”

Ironically, Victor saw wisdom in those words after thinking for a while. “You’re right. A farmer may want to have the best farm in his region, and to others, it may seem useless, but to him, it is a great ambition.”

“Right?” Poseidon nodded.

There was no such thing as a useless ‘ambition’. If you wanted to do something, you fought for it, and it became your ambition. In the end, that’s what mattered.

Go fight for what you want. Maybe it’s not the right answer, maybe many people will judge you, but… So what? freёwebnovel.com

What does it matter? People are too busy with their own personal problems to care about each other’s lives. If you don’t make an impact on the lives of strangers, you will be forgotten.

Do your thing at your own pace, and don’t get lost envying the neighbor’s grass. Focus and hard work will be rewarded, as will patience, and before you know it, you will be walking towards your goal.

Unfortunately, he only came to understand this at the very end. He thought he had all the time in the world, but the moment he attacked Medusa, his time was counting down.

“Born as a God with existential immortality where you will never die permanently unless someone erases your Soul, an entire Dimension that was your Domain, great Power… That was what you had, Poseidon.”

“I ask you, so what?”

“…What do you mean?” Poseidon asked with genuine confusion.

Victor replied. “So what if you have Godly Powers? So what if you have Immortality? So what if you are powerful?”

“In the end… You were alone… Yes, you were surrounded by servants and creations of what you made. You even had a wife… But in the end, you were truly alone.”

“…” Poseidon opened his eyes wide as Victor’s words hit him deeply because he knew that if there was one Being who knew about his existence and history, it was Victor. He absorbed his brothers and father, as well as the Primordials of his Pantheon.

And despite being weakened, Poseidon did not forget what kind of Powers this man had. He saw it personally, after all.

“Your wife feared you, your servants feared you, and you enjoyed it. Envy, ambition, pride, greed, and lust were the only things on your mind.”

“Just like a Devil, you drowned in your Sins because you had nothing else to do.”

“Loneliness and boredom were what you really were, Poseidon.”

“…I see…” Poseidon closed his eyes, and memories of his anger and frustration at not having received The Throne of Olympus appeared in his mind: ambition, envy, and greed were born from these feelings. He remembered that these feelings accompanied him for a long time, and even today, he still had these feelings.

His pride and lust grew when he became a King in his own Domain, but as an insatiable creature, he always wanted more and more.

“Loneliness and boredom… Feelings that most Supernatural Beings have.” Poseidon wasn’t the only one in that place, and that fact made him feel slightly better.

“True.” Victor didn’t deny it. Even Diablo and Lucifer themselves had these feelings, but they were hidden in a sea of ??ambition and greed. They were definitely there, driving their desires.

No one really wanted to be alone for thousands of years since sometimes Beings just want to chat. Eternity is long, and experiencing it alone is just… Exhausting.

“Beings governed by feelings we are… And I had disdain for Demons before.” He snorted to himself.

“I think the problem is that you started too far ahead at the starting line,” Victor said.

“Because you were born as Gods, your needs would always be greater.” Victor ‘sat’ in space, crossing his legs, and rested his head on his fist.

“As a former Human who was raised by a loving Family, I am content with just a few things: the smiles of my Daughters, watching a good movie, loving my Wives… After I became a Supernatural Being, fighting became one of my passions, and it still is to this day.”

“Even after millennia, even after assimilating hundreds of billions of memories of other Beings, these feelings have not diminished for me.”

“And that’s enough for me.” Victor smiled genuinely.

“… I see…” Poseidon sighed. “I understand now how Hestia can love you. Ironically, what you do is exactly what she did in the past.”

“I know.” Victor smiled. The story of Hestia’s past was well known to him both because she told him it and because he ‘saw’ her past through the memories of others.

“… But the way you talk… It’s like you don’t care about your Empire.”

“I care about my Empire.” Victor looked at the planet and observed the Dimensions where his citizens were, both on the infernal side and in the city of Velnorah. He looked at his faithful, who always prayed for him.

“If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t bother to make it grow. My priority will always be my Family, but that doesn’t mean I’ll ignore the people who believe in me… As long as they believe in me, I’ll give them a good life. Of course, they’ll have to work for it.”

Nothing was free in this world, and in exchange for servitude, Victor would give them a place to live and raise their children and future generations.

“I get a certain satisfaction from seeing the Empire grow, but this ‘satisfaction’ cannot be called happiness. My only source of happiness is being with my Family.”

Money? Victor had unlimited resources, and he could do whatever he wanted. Time? Victor had infinite Time. Women? Victor had the smartest and strongest Wives.

He already had everything, and he understood that, because of that, he never lost himself in ambition like other Beings.

In the end, Victor would always be a simple man, the same boy who would do anything for his Family and keep them safe. For someone with as much Power and Authority as him, it could be seen as if he was wise like Buddha. Although if someone called Victor Buddha, he would laugh in their face. After all, he was not as merciful as Buddha or The Heavenly Father. He had Tyrant in his list of Titles for a reason.

Poseidon looked at Victor as if he was an alien. “I don’t understand you…”

“I know.” Victor smiled. “The Gods can’t understand. After all, you were already born in a very toxic environment, but I’m sure a Human probably would… At least the previous Humans before all this mess of the Supernatural World happened.” With the last words, Victor’s smile was a little sad.

After the ‘revelation’ of the Supernatural World, Humans became a variation of Demons or Gods like Poseidon, full of desires, greed, and ambition.

There were still those Beings who just wanted to live in peace and tranquility, Beings who thought like the old Victor, but these Beings were usually connected to the Empire in some way. After all, for ordinary people, the Empire was like a great ship that was protected by the most powerful Beings in existence today.

It was only by being protected by a great existence like that that they could… Relax.

Suddenly, Victor’s heart throbbed with a noise full of Power that echoed throughout the surrounding space.

Victor’s expression became neutral, and he stood up.

“The time has come,” Poseidon spoke, as he knew it was finally over.

“Yes, indeed.”

“… Just a dead man’s curiosity… What are you going to use my Soul and Powers for?”

Victor smiled slightly. “Well…” Using his Dream Powers, he showed Poseidon what he wanted to do.

For a second, Poseidon’s eyes became cloudy, and the next moment, he looked at Victor with an expression of horror.

“You are a damned crazy monster.”

“I hear that a lot.” Victor’s smile grew, and then he snapped his finger.

Poseidon’s existence exploded as if it were made of pure Energy, and a sphere of blue Power went into Victor’s hand.

“Thank you for your patronage, God of The Seas,” Victor said, staring at the sphere for a long time.

‘Ironically, when his ego and pride were completely destroyed, a reasonable guy came into existence.’ By being who he was, Victor saw Poseidon’s true nature, a nature that not even he knew existed, a hidden side that was hidden by all those great things he was tasked with being when he became the God of The Seas.

Forgiveness would never be possible for Poseidon since his Wife wanted his head, and Victor would also not forgive him enough to let his ‘Soul’ reincarnate into a new Being, but at least… His existence will be one of the pillars for a great purpose, the purpose given by The Emperor. And there was no better forgiveness than that, right?

Serving as fertilizer for the growth of The Empire was a great honor.

“Thank you for the conversation, Poseidon.”
