Chapter 512
Chapter 512: The Worry of the Goddess of Love.
A few hours before the meeting.
A portal appeared in one of Victor’s basement rooms.
“Aphrodite? Why did you call me so urgently?” Victor asked as he exited the portal with Natalia.
“…I need to talk to you… Alone.” The Goddess of Beauty, in her Divine Form, spoke in a melodious tone that could send shivers down any mortal’s spine.
Goosebumps that Natalia felt.
It was always uncomfortable to be around the Goddess.
Victor looked at Natalia: “Thank you so much for the work, Natalia. Can you wait for me outside?”
“…” Natalia stopped looking at Aphrodite and looked at Victor with a small smile. She always felt butterflies dancing in her stomach when he spoke to her so gently.
“Sure.” Natalia turned and left the room and remained outside.
“Now, we are alone.”
“…Victor, I meant ‘Alone’.” She emphasized the word as she looked into Victor’s shadow.
“…They are part of me, my blood, my essence, figuratively speaking, I am alone,” Victor spoke with a neutral smile.
Eyes opened in Victor’s shadows and looked at Victor with a proud gaze, and then those eyes returned to Aphrodite with apparent disdain.
“Haaah… We don’t have much time, Victor. Please make the Maids wait outside.”
“….” Victor stared at Aphrodite for a few seconds. He was trying to understand her intentions. Then, seeing her serious face, he realized that it was an important matter.
“Kaguya, wait for me outside.”
[But-…]
‘Everything is fine. She won’t harm me.’
[… Okay.] Even though she didn’t want to leave, she couldn’t deny her Master’s order; she was a perfect Maid, after all.
Though, as the perfect Maid, she would deny her Master’s order if it put him in danger.
Victor’s shadow moved away from his body, and soon he was alone with Aphrodite.
“Now, I’m alone. What do you want?” Victor smiled somewhat playfully.
Aphrodite pouted and began to walk towards him, her seductive body sending out very pleasant ‘smells’.
As a Goddess who embodied Beauty, nothing about her body was ugly or smelly; she was indeed perfect.
“Thousands of years ago, Hephaestus made a tool.”
“…” Victor raised an eyebrow as Aphrodite started talking about her Mythology Tales.
Deciding to listen in silence, he waited.
“Because I told Zeus to go fuck his toys and refused his order to marry Hephaestus, the man developed a grudge against me and wanted to ‘expose’ my guise as a ‘saintly’ woman,” Aphrodite spoke in disdain; she had never been a Saint, she was a Titan.
Because of her Divinity, beings who saw her tended to have positive, imaginary thoughts of the Goddess herself.
And usually flattered her for that. Because of that, Aphrodite’s ego in the past went beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
Although… Currently, her ego hadn’t diminished, but she was not blinded by that ego… Most of the time.
“While I was having fun with the God of War after he had won a war,”
“Hephaestus snuck into our room and trapped me with this.”
A golden light began to form in Aphrodite’s hand.
And then golden chains appeared on her hand.
“….” Victor raised an eyebrow curiously and looked at the item with his violet eyes.
“These chains weakened the God of War severely and did so to me as well, leaving us temporarily at the mercy of Hephaestus, and well, you know how that ended through Mythology. In the end, I decided to keep this chain for myself.”
“After all, he’d made it for me, so it’s a gift for me.”
“….” Victor laughed amusingly but decided not to comment.
“The Chains That Weaken Deities, Alsyr.”
“With these chains in hand, even a God-King-Level God like Zeus can, in theory, become as weak as an Adult Vampire.”
“…” Victor opened his eyes wide.
“That’s a big nerf; how did Zeus not destroy this?”
“I didn’t let him… And when I want something, not even Zeus can stop me~” Aphrodite smiled proudly. She approached Victor in a rhythmic and melodious way and wrapped her arms gently around his body.
Victor didn’t deny the Goddess’s embrace. Instead, he just lifted his hand and stroked her head.
Closing her eyes and enjoying Victor’s caresses, she felt at peace, and the Divinity of her Love was satisfied.
“You will be in a place where the greatest beings in the world gather, Gods from the God King level and up.”
“And frankly speaking… You’d be close to powerless if they decided to harm you.”
“…” Victor stopped stroking the Goddess’s head and narrowed his eyes.
Aphrodite looked up.
“Yes, your powers are strong. Yes, you can face most beings if you transform into your Vampire Count Form; even fighting for a few minutes with these beings is possible, but it is still not enough. You will be interacting with these beings who stand in the top 10 of Strongest Beings in the World.”
“Even Natashia and Agnes must completely release their Vampire Count Forms to fight them.”
“Unless you fully awaken as a Progenitor, like Vlad, and Master your Soul powers, or fully Master your Vampire Count Transformation to the perfection that the Countesses have achieved, you should not even think about fighting them.”
Aphrodite gently touched Victor’s face and continued:
“The moment you show up at the meeting place, your face will appear, attracting a lot of negative attention… And the owner of The Limbo prison will reveal private information about you.”
“….” Victor narrowed his eyes even more, and when he was going to ask about it, he heard Aphrodite:
“The world will look to you, and you may be in danger; because of that, I will lend you my Alsyr.” She gently approached Victor and softly kissed his lips.
A golden glow appeared around Victor, and he felt the chains Aphrodite had previously shown inside him.
Aphrodite moved away from Victor, leaving a saliva bridge connecting their lips.
“If one of the Gods attacks you, use my chain. Zeus will feel my chain inside you; thus, he most likely won’t antagonize you but don’t count on it. He’s the most irrational God for a reason.”
“Even if he attacks, use my chains, and the situation will become more manageable…”
Aphrodite looked seriously at Victor: “But by no means become Shiva’s enemy. Not even my chains can interfere with Shiva; his Divinity of Destruction is very strong.”
“Of all the beings present, The owner of The Limbo prison and Shiva are the most dangerous beings. Do not become their enemies.” She warned him again. She needed to do this, or this man wouldn’t listen.
“I will not provoke others unnecessarily; I will just go and observe.” Even Victor, with all his insanity, knew this was not the place to act like he usually did. He was too weak for that, after all.
“I want to see the Strongest Beings… And judge for myself.” Victor felt the same excitement he’d felt when he first confronted Vlad.
“….” Aphrodite flashed a small smile; she didn’t believe Victor because she knew how Victor’s nature worked.
He did not accept things in silence; he was a Progenitor, a being born of pride, and he would not bow his head to anyone, even God-King-Level beings.
That’s just his nature.
‘Good thing he has Adonis’ cunning; that way, he can respond sarcastically, and there won’t be any unnecessary fights… I hope.’
Victor’s face changed and became kinder.
“I appreciate your concern, and thank you for lending me something so valuable.” Victor hugged Aphrodite, this time taking the initiative.
“…” Aphrodite felt sweet inside and enjoyed this moment with her eyes closed.
The two pulled away a little and looked into each other’s eyes.
“I wish you a safe journey and good luck; she is usually a good girl.” She laughed gently.
…
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~” Renata was laughing as if she saw something hilarious, and for her, in a way, it was. Seeing Zeus acting like that was very satisfying.
“???” People who didn’t know about Renata didn’t understand why she was acting like that.
“Ignore her; she has some grudges with Zeus.”
“…Oh…” The audience reacted strangely.
“Now that I think about it, what is she?” Fred asked the question that everyone avoided.
“Someone special… Very special.” Ruby just said that and was silent.
…
Vlad, Scathach, Natashia, and Agnes entered the palace smoothly, nothing stopped them, but when it was Victor’s turn, he couldn’t get in, and soon everyone heard.
“Alucard, only you are invited; please leave the uninvited beings out here.”
“…” Scathach, Agnes, and Natashia looked back with raised eyebrows.
[Master…]
[Don’t worry.] Victor reassured Eve.
Victor smiled neutrally and said:
“They are my blood, essence, and powers; they are not other ‘beings’.”
“They are me.”
“They are my shadows.”
“…my eyes…and my fangs.” Victor lifted his hand up, and his entire hand was covered in black darkness with red veins.
A shadow spread around Victor and fanned across the entire entrance to the palace; soon, thousands of blood-red eyes began to open.
Everyone watching this grotesque sight just gulped.
Just what is it?
Gabriel, who looked at this, just frowned:
“Just how many beings did this man kill? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands?”
“…He is tainted by thousands of souls, disgusting be the Progenitors of Vampires who break the balance.” He spoke in visible disgust.
“….” Vlad, who had noticed this, only raised his eyebrow.
“By asking them to stay out, you’re basically kicking me out.” Victor retracted everything into him.
“…And if that is your decision, I don’t mind waiting outside~” Victor really didn’t care. It might be a shame that he couldn’t see the stronger beings closely, but that was it. He wouldn’t go anywhere without his maids.
“… It’s not necessary; you can come in; just keep your hostile attitude contained.”
“Hey? But I did nothing.”
Victor stopped when he felt Roberta’s gaze.
“Oh, that won’t be a problem,” Victor spoke with a neutral smile and started walking his group through the halls.
And as he walked, he had an internal conversation.
[Calm down, Roberta.]
[B-But, Master. Zeus, it’s right there!]
[I know. They will get what they deserve; everyone will. But the time is not right, and the main target of your revenge is Poseidon, right?]
[No matter, they will all die, Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Everyone!] Roberta’s face was distorted in pure hate, and her hair was moving wildly.
[Don’t lose yourself in hate, Medusa.]
“….” The woman was about to say something, but she felt someone hugging her, and saw that it was Bruna.
[As long as I’m here, and my beloved Maids too, no one will hurt you again, and past grudges will be washed away. Now is not the time.]
[…]
[Try to control yourself, okay?]
[Mmm.]
Victor smiled kindly, and he spoke:
[Kaguya, I’m counting on you.]
[Yes, Master.]
[And you old gorilla, don’t stay asleep, be prepared for me to invite you anytime.]
In Victor’s shadow, farther away, a gorilla that looked like it had grown a little taller opened its glowing red eyes.
