Chapter 827: He's a Demon.
Victor's planet, in a newly created mansion, three bodies were lying on the bed.
"Ugh..." Three defeated moans were heard from the bed, and this caused a woman with long golden hair to laugh.
"You were too greedy and suffered from it," Natashia commented.
"Shut up, Mother," Sasha growled.
"How long have I been out?"
"Two days," Natashia replied with the same mischievous smile on her face.
"… Ugh, why is my body still hurting? Is my regeneration not working?" Ruby grumbled as she looked up at the ceiling.
"Bedding the progenitor of dragons is different, especially the Progenitor who is both dragon and vampire, the perfect blend of both," Aphrodite spoke as she tucked her legs in.
"…Can you be more specific please? Stop talking in riddles." Violet spoke.
"I'm saying he fucked you body and soul, literally speaking, of course."
"......" The three didn't know how to react to those words.
"Because of that, your body is aching... In fact, the correct thing to say would be that your soul is sick, and this is reflected in your physical body."
"Ugh, it's been a while since I heard so much bullshit in one sentence." Violet groaned.
"… Where is Darling?" Ruby asked as she looked at Natashia and Aphrodite.
"He is making a Staff that will be given to Valeria."
"…A Staff?" Violet asked with a strange look. In the meantime, she touched her belly and felt the emptiness inside her; normally, when she passed out and woke up the next day, her husband's fluids were still inside her.
But as expected, this time, it was not possible.
The very act of them doing the 'act' was quite dangerous as well. Luckily, Victor didn't need to move for the nightly battle; by standing still and controlling the girls' bodies with his telekinetic power, he could do the act. It was strange to do the act like that, but at the same time, it was a new experience.
"Yeah, he wants to give the power of death to the High Priestess of his religion," Aphrodite spoke.
"Ugh, I already foresee what this woman will become with so much pampering," Sasha grumbled.
"Well, from the moment she became High Priestess, that woman became Victor's, both in body and soul," Ruby said.
"Helloooo? Is there someone here?"
"Where are the people in this mansion? And why can't I feel anything? Are my senses failing?"
"Ugh, why is this place so big?"
"HELLO!!??"
The door suddenly opened, and a tall, voluptuous woman with long black hair and demonic features like horns, wings, and a tail entered.
"..." The girls in the room looked at the woman with a neutral gaze.
The woman returned their gazes neutrally as she looked at each woman, noting her features, but her eye landed on Aphrodite.
"Geh, Aphrodite." The woman's face distorted as if she saw something rotten.
"…Lilith, why are you here?"
"The Demon King called me. The question is, why are you here?"
"Ara, didn't you know? I'm his wife, you know?" Aphrodite gave a smug smile to Lilith.
A smile that made Lilith's veins pop in her head, she really didn't like this woman.
"You sure know everyone, Aphrodite," Natashia said.
"Well... That's true." She was going to try to refute Natashia's words, but when she thought about knowing all the bigshots in the supernatural world, she let that go; after all, it wasn't a lie that she knew a lot of people.
Some beings she saw once every hundred years, others she saw more frequently, but it was a fact that as an ancient goddess and quite a social one, she knew many people.
Lilith was one of those people, even though, due to her natural antipathy towards demons, they never got along, despite having no real reason to dislike each other.
It was a relationship like water and fire; they just couldn't get along.
A red portal appeared in the room, and soon Aline appeared.
"Finally, I found you, Lilith. Where were you? Did you get lost?"
"Of course not. I was exploring." Lilith lied as easily as she breathed, never admitting she got lost.
"I see... Anyway, come. The Demon King is summoning you."
"Okay... But before that, how come you can use your powers?"
"Because the Demon King allowed it."
"... Excuse me? What do you mean by the Demon King 'allowed'?"
"Exactly what I mean. In this place, the Demon King has full control of the dimension. If he wants, no one can use their powers here."
"... That's nonsense," Lilith muttered to herself. She had seen similar things happen in the territory of primordial beings, but they were primordial beings! Such power was understandable and even expected.
But, the Demon King doing this? Especially sealing her power as the progenitor of demons? Lilith couldn't believe it.
"You'll get used to it." Violet, Sasha, Ruby, Aphrodite, and Natashia all said at the same time.
Lilith looked at the women saying this with an empty expression on their faces, and then she just sighed.
"Just take me to him. I want to finish my work quickly to go have some fun."
"... Hmm..." Aline looked at Lilith thoughtfully, she seemed to want to say something, but soon she decided it wasn't worth it, so she just nodded:
"Okay."
A portal appeared behind Lilith, and soon the two demons entered.
"She's about to have her reality shattered, isn't she?" Sasha commented.
"Yes." They all spoke at the same time.
...
"... W-W-W-W." Lilith pointed at Victor tremulously while stuttering.
Victor displayed a small smile when he saw Lilith's expression.
"She's completely broken," Jeanne spoke.
"Well, it's understandable. After all, the change is quite significant." Morgana spoke while looking neutrally at Lilith.
"Aline, come here, please."
"Yes, Demon King." Aline approached Victor.
"You too, Persephone."
"Mm." Persephone, who was sitting in a chair, nodded and then stood up and walked towards Victor, who was standing in front of a large table filled with various types of weapons.
When the two women stood in front of Victor, he placed his finger on their foreheads.
A white power gleamed on his finger, and soon they felt their authority as 'Ruler' becoming stronger.
"Done. From now on, you two are the Rulers of my hell."
"... Wasn't I the Ruler before?" Persephone asked, confused. "How did I become the Ruler again?"
"Yes, you both were the Ruler... But you were the Ruler of the biblical hell and the Greek hell."
"These two hells no longer exist since they merged into a new hell, and what I just did was declare you two as Rulers of the new hell that was born from this mixture."
"Oh..." Persephone understood now.
Aline didn't listen to their conversation, more focused on trying to understand her new abilities.
"Wait, wait, wait. You can't just ignore me!" Lilith suddenly shouted, grabbing everyone's attention.
"Just what happened to you, Demon King!?"
"How did you become... all this!?" She spoke while making an exaggerated gesture, pointing at Victor.
"I happened, and I became it," Victor said as if it explained everything.
"...." Lilith waited, expecting to hear more explanations, but no matter how much she waited, she didn't hear any more words! He even diverted his attention from her and looked at the two women in front of him.
"Wait, wait! Don't ignore me!" She spoke again.
"Just how did you become this!? How did you go from being a Vampire to a DRAGON!?"
"You're mistaken."
"I'm not a dragon."
"... Huh? You're not?"
"No, I'm not just a dragon. I'm the perfect blend of a Progenitor vampire with the Progenitor dragon."
He smiled. "I'm a vampiric dragon... By the way, that name is still up for debate. Personally, I think it's good, but it sounds a bit cliché... Hmm, I was thinking of going with Blood Dragon. Decisions. Decisions." He murmured at the end.
"....." Lilith was just speechless. Somehow, hearing that he was a mix of the two was even more surprising than if he were just a normal dragon.
'Wait... PROGENITOR?!' Only now did she realize an important detail.
The door to the room opened, and a 150cm tall woman entered, floating with her feet a few cm off the ground.
"Fath – Progenitor, the coliseum is ready."
"... You'd call me Father, huh?" Victor smiled.
Metis blushed slightly, and she looked away. Although it had only been two days, Metis's recovery was quite impressive as her height was returning rapidly. She went from the size of a fairy to the height of a teenager in just two days.
Victor predicted that within a week, she would be fully recovered.
Lilith's eyes widened as she looked at Metis. She knew the woman very well, the tragic first wife of Zeus, but she wasn't shocked about that, but rather her draconic features!
'Another dragon!' Lilith thought. It was already rare to see one dragon, now having two dragons together? It was even more unbelievable.
Supernatural beings sometimes spend millions of years and never get a chance to see a real dragon; they're just that rare. But in less than a few minutes, she had already seen two!
"I apologize, it's just a bad habit. For some reason, I can't stop."
"It's fine. The more you recover, and most of your memories return, you'll eventually stop." Victor spoke while looking at the 'nothingness'. Although it seemed like he was just observing the wall, the truth was that he was looking at Valeria.
"Mm." Metis nodded.
A smile appeared on Victor's face as he saw Valeria's decision. 'Hmm, I can combine her actions with my visit to Hela...' He began to plan his next steps.
But he was making these plans with another part of his mind as the main part was focused on something else.
"Now that the coliseum is ready, it's time for both of you to undergo the transformation."
"... Are you really going to do this?" Jeanne asked.
"Of course." Victor smiled.
"All my wives will become dragons."
"... Can you really handle that, Victor?" Persephone asked with some concern.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, vampire women are already insane... Dragon women, especially a new breed of dragons that is a mix of the two... I just see trouble."
"Seriously? I only see opportunities." Victor laughed.
Persephone widened her eyes and just shook her head, sighing.
"Fufufu, Persephone, don't you understand that the more insane, obsessive, and crazy the woman is, the more he'll like it? For Victor, this situation has no downside." Jeanne pointed out.
"I already knew that... Now, I'm reminded of how crazy he is."
"Hey, I take offense at that. I'm not crazy, I just have good taste." Victor huffed.
Persephone just rolled her eyes.
"Anyway, shut up Lilith, and come closer."
"W-What – Wait! Are you planning to make more dragons!?"
"Of course."
"Are you mad!? Dragons are extremely powerful beings, and this will break the balance! The primordial beings will interfere."
"I know. That's why only my family will transform into dragons, while my subordinates will remain as they are."
"... Oh."
Victor knew very well that he couldn't overdo it. He couldn't go around creating dragons like he did with noble vampires. If he went too far, it was 100% certain that the primordial beings would interfere to preserve the balance.
That wasn't his intention either, and this power, the power of his new race, would only be obtained by his family.
The rest, he would just turn into Noble Vampires.
Yes, he could still create Noble Vampires.
Victor is a perfect blend of a dragon and a vampire, and because of that, he didn't lose any of his abilities; they just merged and became something better.
For example, his ability to see, manipulate, and shape the soul became much stronger than when he was a Progenitor vampire. Due to his vampire characteristics, he can change a being to be both a Noble Vampire or just a simple dragon without his blood.
Not only that, he can even create dragon and vampire subspecies if he desires.
Beings like Ghouls, Wyverns, Basilisks, sea serpents, etc. He can create all of them.
To say he was at the top of vampires and dragons wasn't an exaggeration. As a Progenitor, he truly was at the top of these two species, even controlling the sub-species of these two races.
Therefore, he wasn't lacking in strength, and all he needed was time to gather his army.
As the Demon King, he had the entirety of hell at his disposal, and over time, he would have an army of monsters at his disposal.
There is a limit to how many true dragons can exist to avoid breaking the balance. After all, true dragons are forces of nature, but there's no limit to how many dragon and vampire subspecies he can create.
Therefore, keeping only his wives and family as true dragons was the right way to proceed.
Putting aside those thoughts, Victor looked at Lilith and said:
"Do you know why I called you here?"
"No...?"
Victor smiled lightly and then asked, "I want you to become the Ruler of my hell."
"... Hell no! I refuse! I deny it! There's no way I'm committing to such exhausting work! I just want to be free from it!"
Now that she had experienced freedom, Lilith never wanted to take on a position of power again! Being free and worry-free is the best thing!
'I love FREEDOM!'
Instead of getting irritated, Victor just smiled sweetly, a smile that somehow made Lilith shudder as if something bad was going to happen to her.
"Aline, please."
"Yes." Expecting this, Aline took a document from her bag and handed it to Victor.
"1,305,340,466 Knull has been spent by Lilith since she arrived in hell."
"..." Sweat began to form on Lilith's face.
"Not only that, I have here a dozen complaints from my subordinates [mostly from Lily] regarding your bad behavior and spoiled attitude."
"The list doesn't end there. Many times, when you would drink and get drunk, you would destroy private property that didn't belong to you, leading to the government spending even more money to keep you."
"Adding it all up, Lilith's debt is over 3 billion Knull."
Victor closed the document and just looked at Lilith, who was utterly incredulous as if she had seen a ghost.
With the same sweet smile on his face, he gently asked:
"You said what just now, Lilith?"
"... Please let me be the Ruler."
Lilith wasn't stupid. She could see the size of the problem she was in. Normally, she would fight back and pretend this conversation never happened, but... could she do that with Victor? The answer was no. She couldn't. So, she swallowed her pride and agreed to work to pay off her debts.
"Mm, I'm glad you accepted my proposal gracefully." Victor raised his hand for a handshake, which Lilith cautiously touched and shook his hand.
"I'll count on you from now on, Lilith."
'... He's a demon!' Lilith really wanted to cry now.
