My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires.

Chapter 1086: Becoming an Overlord.

"I... I surrender."

A moment of silence fell around, a sense of disbelief appeared in the Hindu Pantheon, and even some of Victor's Wives raised their eyebrows in surprise.

The reason? The arrogance of the Gods was well known. Even when faced with a Power far above their own, they would rather die than submit.

'God-Kings' took this level of arrogance to a whole new level; they would never want to give up their Power.

It was an attitude that Victor truly understood. After all, just imagining himself surrendering to another Being provoked an infinite wave of disgust. He would rather fight to the death than that, or at least, his proud side would.

His logical and emotional side would assess the situation. If the situation was dire, and he couldn't handle it even with all this strength now, he would prioritize his Family's safety... And then press the Nuke button, meaning he would stop holding his nightmare form back entirely.

He had several ways to seal his Inner World in a completely protected Dimension that was utterly disconnected from The System and from this cosmology.

It was a precaution against Beings like the Primordials, who could go anywhere as long as they had a connection with them.

Victor was very paranoid, and because of that, he always made plans on top of plans. Because if one plan failed, at least he would have another. With his mind working like a quantum Supercomputer, formulating several plans in a short time was as easy as breathing.

"Very well. From today onwards, the Hindu Pantheon will be a part of The Empire. All Gods, resources, history, and territory must be annexed to The Empire." Victor raised his hand, and the Leviathans in the sky disappeared, as did the portals that housed Victor's forces.

"Your treatment will be the same as that of the Shinto Pantheon. You may maintain your self-governance, but you must report to The Empire when called upon."

'A preventative treatment, after all, there will be time to 're-educate' you! Victor thought.

Victor glanced briefly at Kali.

"You can stand down now."

"... Huh?" Kali was confused, but her confusion didn't last long when she felt a woman annear behind her.

"Yes" Nyx, wearing a full black leotard that highlighted her figure, spoke while making a "V" sign with both hands.

Kali felt a chill when she saw that an enemy had been so close to her, and she hadn't felt anything. This chill became even more prominent when she saw the 'dagger' in Nyx's hand.

That Dagger was extremely dangerous, and all her instincts screamed at her to distance herself from it. So, it was no wonder she quickly moved away from Nyx. "You too." Victor looked at Shiva.

"..." Shiva obviously knew that The Emperor was not talking to him, and this thought was proven correct when someone stepped out of his shadow, and just like Nyx, this woman was also carrying a very dangerous dagger.

'Just what in the name of The Seven Hells is this? Why is this giving me a horrible feeling?' Shiva thought. He couldn't help but imagine the scenario that if he had taken a hostile action at that moment, he would have been immediately eliminated or possibly sealed away to be used for whatever nefarious plan The Emperor had.

'It was Checkmate from the very beginning! Kali thought as she saw this situation. When The Emperor decided to move, nothing escaped his grasp.

"Rejoice, Shiva, Kali. You have been given the privilege of the treatment of the strong. Because of you two, this place will not suffer a fate like that of Celtic Pantheon." Victor raised his hand, and an image of the current Celtic Pantheon was shown. The entire territory was destroyed, and the Gods were dead on the ground or being chained. It was a sight of what one would expect when a country fell.

The ones responsible for all of this were three women in the sky of the Pantheon and judging by the violet Crown of Power on the white-haired woman's head, she was the Dragon Empress, Violet Elderblood.

The eyes of said Empress glowed slightly violet, and soon, she looked towards the image and smiled slightly as she waved.

Victor couldn't help but roll his eyes internally. 'I told her to act like a ruthless Ruler, and she does that... He thought in amusement, not bothered by her small gesture. He even liked it, to be honest.

But Victor's expression didn't change at all, his face remained as stoic as stone. Kali and Shiva didn't say anything, and they immediately understood why Victor had done all these small actions until now. was a display of power.

By revealing the assassins that they didn't even sense carrying dangerous weapons that they didn't even know what they were, and by revealing the state of the Celtic Pantheon, even that casual display by the Empress...

All of this was a power play planned by The Emperor.

He was basically saying: See? I can kill them easily.

He was reinforcing the point he was making before, the same point that made Shiva completely give up on fighting back.

'If possible, I wanted to make an alliance like the Heavenly Father did with Victor earlier, but I took too long... I was arrogant, and I paid for it! Shiva sighed.

This outcome wasn't bad, but it was not favorable for them either.

"Well, I guess I should be glad that I just survived another day!

"I'll send a representative who will help you integrate with The Empire smoothly. Treat

him with respect."

Victor turned, making his Miasma-formed cloak billow, and stepped into the abyss between Dimensions.

The Heralds, Kaguya, and Nyx stared at the two Gods for a few seconds, then followed

Victor.

"...I hope this was the right choice." Shiva sighed.

"Shiva, we had no choice from the beginning. This is the Fate of the weak," Kali shook her head as she walked towards her temple. "I will rest. Today was a stressful day." She

sighed and then disappeared.

"...Fate of the weak, huh... I spent so long being the strongest that I never learned this feeling. The feeling of helplessness in the face of overwhelming strength..." Cracking sounds were heard as Shiva clenched his fist..

"It doesn't feel good." Shiva, for the first time since being born as a Primordial God, suffered a crushing and hopeless defeat.

1st year of the Imperial Calendar

Just a few years after the Day of Judgment that brought Humanity to the brink of extinction because of the Demons, The Demon King, the successor of the Demon that invaded Humanity, ascended as Emperor of several Pantheons, and less than a few months later, this same Emperor ascended as the Emperor of Humanity. Annexing not only all the Pantheons into the Empire but also all the Supernatural Races on Earth, no Being was spared. All the Races in hiding, all the Races on the verge of extinction, absolutely everything was annexed into The Empire. This day marked a new milestone in history and also the change of many things. This day was the day the Imperial Calendar was born, and the years from now on will be counted from this day.

On the first day as the Emperor of Humanity. Victor Elderblood united all the

continents into one great continent. From today onwards, there were no more borders, no more language barriers. There was only The Empire and the official Imperial Language that was placed in the minds of all Sentient Beings by Victor, an entirely new language created by him.

You could speak 'English' to someone, but the sound that would come out of your mouth would be completely different. On that day, a wave of confusion spread throughout everyone. Everyone tried to get used to the different words that came out of their mouths. Some adapted faster, and others took a little longer. Eventually, everyone would get used to it, and it would become the primary language. On the same day, Earth was renamed in honor of its protector, Yggdrasil, the World Tree that had nourished Earth until now. On that same day, the Emperor of Humanity erected a gigantic Tower right in the middle of the continent, and with a snap of his fingers, a great Imperial City was created.

The Tower that stood in the middle of the Imperial Capital and could be seen from even several kilometers away was called the Tower of Challenges, Babylon, a Tower with 999 floors, a place for Beings to challenge themselves to become stronger. The tower was the perfect training ground for everything from monsters to fighting Gods. Theoretically, if you reached the 999th floor, you would already be at the level where you could fight a Primordial God. The Tower was made to create powerful warriors and scholars. After all, the Empire did not survive on soldiers alone. Scientists, doctors, and engineers were all necessary for the development of The Empire.

The Tower could only be accessed by those who entered the Imperial Academy as cadets to become soldiers or scholars of The Empire.

Young people who had grown up in the former modern era immediately recognized

the purpose of the Tower. Just like RPG games or fighting games, this was a Tower where each floor became more difficult. By killing monsters, even if you were a mediocre Human, you would become stronger and gain Power.

The thirst for Power of the 'weak' who had no connection to the Gods immediately

made them register themselves as cadets and entered the Tower in search of strength.

Many died in the beginning, but those who adapted gained Superhuman Powers, and upon seeing the success of those who rose, they persisted.

If there was one thing Humanity was good at, it was being greedy and envious. And that was okay. These emotions were what drove their evolution.

Unlike his Elite Soldiers, who were created through the clones of his seven Creations, Victor did not revive the people who died in the Tower.

He had three reasons for this. First, the consequence of death was a great motivator for making Beings not make mistakes.

Second, only the Elite, fighting in the most difficult missions where the mortality rate

was very high, would receive this type of privilege.

Third, it was to efficiently create a System of Life and Death. Death should not be feared. It should be worshiped. When they died, everyone would know that they would be in the hands of the God-Emperor and would be reincarnated.

'Heaven' should be sought after so that, even in death, they would not feel sad. After

all, they would be with The Emperor.
