Chapter 834: The Singularity. 2

"Fucking Gods." Victor grunted in annoyance when he felt that they hadn't all left.

His eyes gleamed, and he stared directly into the faces of these Gods.

"Leave."

"Victor Alucard, you can't-"

"I can't what? I can't do this? I can't kill the Gods?"

Victor's suit tie began to change, and in the next moment, an odachi appeared in his hand.

The Gods watching broke into a cold sweat when they felt the aura of that sword.

This creature was dangerous! It couldn't be reasoned with!

Albedo looked in the direction where Victor was speaking and saw the appearance of the Gods.

'Thoth and Khons, huh.' She knew the duo from the Egyptian Pantheon, especially Thoth, who represented an area similar to hers. Unlike her, who was the Goddess of Research and Alchemy,

He was The God of Knowledge.

"This won't end here, Progenitor. You can't be an enemy of the Gods and continue to live," Khons spoke.

"Tell that to the entire Greek Pantheon, you vermin."

Despite being so far away, they seemed to be conversing as if they were face to face.

The faces of the two Gods darkened when they heard what he said.

"Now, Leave. Or I will send you back to your King... Piece by piece."

They both swallowed hard and quickly disappeared. They didn't want to test his patience!

When he felt that all the Gods had left, Victor's expression relaxed.

"[... You couldn't act as if you didn't sense their presence, could you?]" Roxanne asked.

"Screw that, their looks were irritating, especially Odin's; I could feel his sense of superiority and arrogance from here, disgusting bastard," Victor grumbled.

"[Victor... Control your temper,]" Roxanne spoke seriously.

"[I know, Roxanne. I know.]" Victor was not foolish; he knew he shouldn't act like an irrational beast.

He had been trained by Scathach; 'control' had been etched into his Soul from the beginning. After all, he always needed control with so much Power in his hands.

But... But... It was just annoying that these Gods were invading his 'territory' and looking at a 'treasure' he coveted so greedily. It was irritating and disgusting.

He felt like flaying them alive and tossing their pieces into a shredder.

Victor had been possessive even before Evolving. Now? That possessiveness had exceeded numerically possible limits and had become unknown.

To him, it was absurdly annoying to have someone invading his 'territory' and looking at his 'treasures and lovers' with greed.

To be honest, Victor was quite rational; after all, Gods killed for less, just look at Mythology.

They were all irrational creatures.

So, for him, being above the Gods was normal for him to act like this, right?

"[Victor, control your temper,]" Roxanne warned him again.

Victor sighed deeply and looked at the girls who were silently staring at him with incredulous eyes.

"What?" He asked the Witches.

"N-Nothing." Evie quickly spoke, stuttering. She seemed quite meek; she had many things she wanted to say, but she didn't have the courage now.

Seeing the Dragon's Roar that casually killed two Gods up close had a significant effect on her.

Not just on her, but on all the Witches present.

"Evie, control your Witches," Albedo reminded.

"... Oh!" Evie opened her eyes and looked at her daughters.

"Tell them not to panic, say it was a test of some weapon or something."

"Uh... Mother, no one will believe that."

"... It doesn't matter, just make something up and keep them calm!" Evie snapped.

"Y-Yes!"

Meanwhile, Albedo spoke.

"Is everything okay? You just rudely expelled two Egyptian Gods, and knowing them, they won't let it slide."

"Hah, it wasn't just those two idiots; Odin's ravens and two other unknown Gods were here too."

"... So that Breath." Albedo opened her eyes wide when she understood what happened.

"Yes." Victor's odachi changed back into a tie.

"You're crazy. Killing the All Father's family members, such an act is equivalent to asking for war."

"If Odin wants war, he'll get war," Victor said disdainfully.

"I'm looking forward to unleashing my cute Wolf on him."

Victor didn't fear war or conflict; in fact, he even liked it. But he was trying his best not to provoke unnecessary conflicts, but it was just too difficult considering how the Gods acted.

Therefore, the best way to achieve 'peace' was through conquest or diplomacy, the latter being possible only when Victor was 'worthy' enough to be on the same level as them.

Something he had achieved after evolving into a Progenitor of The Dragons.

Before Victor's existence, he didn't matter much to the Pantheons. But now that he was a Progenitor of an entirely new Race of Dragons, they became eager. After all, they were witnessing a new Faction composed entirely of Dragons growing.

How could they not be excited?

Taking advantage of this fact, Victor would try diplomacy.

Yes... He would try, but Victor knew the Gods well; he knew how troublesome they could be, and he wouldn't bow down to them either.

'Well, due to my actions, I highly doubt I can form an alliance with the Egyptian and Norse Pantheons... But maybe the Celtic and Shinto Pantheons are possible,' Victor thought.

"..." Albedo blinked her eyes twice, then she smiled with amusement. She clearly understood what the 'cute Wolf' he was talking about meant.

"It seems that... It's not you who should fear Odin, but Odin who should fear you, huh," Albedo reflected, and then she spoke.

"The roles have completely reversed."

She felt a sense of amusement, and she couldn't help herself: "Hahahahaha, this is interesting, very interesting indeed. I really want to see their faces when you unleash your 'cute Wolf' on him."

"I not only have a cute Wolf, but I also have a monster... And soon, I will have a Dragon," he smiled internally, wondering how long he needed to wait for his plan to succeed.

'I never thought I'd come up with a plan that involves using my beauty... Sigh, sometimes I hate Adonis's memories,' Victor thought.

This 'beauty' strategy was clearly something Adonis and Aphrodite would think of.

Unlike the two of them, Victor preferred to do things more 'militantly' rather than 'subtly'.

Even though he thought about it, Victor clearly understood the effects of this strategy, and he wouldn't give it up just because he wasn't comfortable with it. After all, a similar strategy had been used by his Wives to make their Religion grow so much.

Whether they were men or women, Beings liked 'beautiful' things.

In Victor's case, he was 'handsomely beautiful,' and he would use that to attract more people to ally with him... Of course, to also annoy the Gods.

Want to annoy a God? Capture the attention of their wife, and they will definitely get very irritated.

Jeanne hugged Victor, making him look at the woman.

"What's wrong, Jeanne?"

"... It's nothing... I just feel a little hot," she spoke naturally as she let out a warm sigh.

Victor observed with amusement. "Oh? My dear Jeanne is acting like this? What happened?"

It was worth noting that Jeanne was not Agnes, Natashia, or Violet, who were known for being more 'honest' with their feelings.

"These damn Dragon genes... Ugh," Jeanne grumbled as she hugged him tighter.

Victor just stroked her head and said, "Let's isolate this place; I don't want anyone else watching this."

"... That sounds like a good idea," Albedo said in a strange tone that made Victor look at her.

Seeing the woman's face looking at Jeanne and him with interest, Victor rolled his eyes. Unlike other women, Albedo wasn't looking at this with excitement or envy, but with academic interest. After all, Jeanne was no longer in her Vampire appearance; her horns and wings were clearly showing due to her excitement.

Victor looked at Zaladrac, who was supposed to maintain the disguise of Jeanne, and he saw only Zaladrac's fixed and passionate gaze on him.

Clearly, she had lost complete focus just like Jeanne.

"... How can you lose control like this? It's not like you haven't been a Dragon for a long time,"

"You're the Progenitor and my mate; being close to you shakes my instincts. That display was enough to excite-."

"Okay, I get it." Victor cut off Zaladrac; the woman was talking too much already. He didn't want private information to fall into strangers' ears.

"Control yourself and help me isolate the area. When you're done, I'll pamper you."

"Mm!"

The Primordials who witnessed the events of Victor entering another planet.

"...This man, does he have some sixth sense to sniff out trouble or something? Because he's in that place! He shouldn't be there!" The Judges of The Abyss growled in unison.

They looked at The Universal Tree. "It was you, right? Did you warn him?" They accused him.

"Do you think I have time to babysit a brat? I have work to do, this was 100% his doing. I have nothing to do with it." The Universal Tree rolled its eyes.

It looked at the planet where Victor was, specifically at his 'daughter.' "Hmm... She seems very frightened, huh."

Unlike the other planets, this Sector was not fully developed yet; his 'daughter,' the World Tree of Positivity, was still in the 'adolescent' phase here. This place didn't even have a World Tree of Negativity yet.

"Of course she is. The Power that man unleashed was clearly the antithesis of her existence; she probably doesn't even know what it is yet."

Since she was not fully matured, the memories imbued in her existence had not been awakened yet. After all, this whole situation was abnormal; such a strong Sector like Earth should not have made contact with a weaker one.

The Sector itself that the Witches opened the portal to was abnormal too; the planet was more enveloped in the 'Positive' side than the 'Negative'.

This meant that the Beings themselves were more likely to be 'good' people. This didn't mean there were no bad people; it just meant they were the minority, and because of that, many deaths of 'hate' and negative feelings did not occur.

As a result, Negativity couldn't grow, leading to the state where the planet already had a World Tree of Positivity, but it was not mature enough for its Negative counterpart to come into existence.

There wasn't even a Hell in that place yet! This was indeed a much younger Sector than Earth.

"Haah..." The Universal Tree just sighed.

"This shouldn't have happened; that Dragon shouldn't have been there. The encounter between the Witches and their Ancestors should have happened, an initial conflict should have occurred, and casualties would have happened with the Witches."

"That annoying Witch would have intervened to Balance the game, so both sides would clash. And in the near future, a ceasefire would occur. The Witches would migrate from Earth to the other planet and begin to develop them... But now all these events have gone down the drain!"

"Shouldn't that man be preparing for the gathering of Supernatural Beings!? What is he doing there!?" They complained and grumbled more.

They felt that they had recently started to complain more all because of the existence of this Being.

Everything that the Judges of The Abyss spoke of would be everything that would happen 'normally' if someone as powerful as Victor weren't there; it would be a situation similar to what happened in Human History when a country tried to invade another, was repelled, and both sides lost strength, leading to a peace agreement that would develop both.

"What are we going to do now!? He is your son-in-law, solve this!"

The Universal Tree narrowed its eyes. "...Are you always going to play that card now when you don't want to deal with work?"

"Yes." The three of them shamelessly said in unison.

A vein throbbed in the man's head; for a moment, he almost felt like punching the three through multiple Galaxies' distance, but that would only cause unnecessary destruction and more work for him, so he just sighed again.

"I have an idea."

"...Oh? Explain."

"Let Victor handle this and move on." He gave an innocent smile; he really didn't want to deal with this work.

"......."

Just by the look of the three, he could tell they were not satisfied with this statement.

"Fine, let's isolate that Sector and make Time pass faster. That way, they can develop to at least have some high-level God King existences."

"This will give time for my daughter to mature, and The World Tree of Negativity to grow, Balancing things."

"...So what will be the Time ratio?"

"30 minutes on Earth, 100,000 years in that Sector," The Universal Tree said.

"100,000 years, huh... Isn't that too long? They might forget about this incident if it's that long."

"They won't forget; after all, the portal will still exist. And unlike Earth's Humans, the Humans in that place have much longer lifespans than normal. Plus, the Gods will still exist."

"...Not to mention, I think the impact of my son-in-law's existence is significant enough for them not to forget."

If the Judges had Humanoid Forms, they would definitely be rolling their eyes now.

"100,000 years then, and then we go back to normal time, right?"

"Yes." The Universal Tree nodded.

Using their Powers together, the two began their work.

...

30 minutes later, Earth time.

"Huuh... What's happening?" The Universal Tree asked as it looked at the planet in front of them.

"..." The Abyss Judges just trembled in unison.

The ancient medieval era was completely gone, and now they were in an almost futuristic modern era; the incident that happened that day with Victor was in the past, but no one forgot it. The planet's history books told the story of the 'very handsome' 'invader' who suddenly appeared, also mentioning that this invader was a Dragoy.

There were even various cults worshiping the invader, and some minor Gods were part of this cult.

"What the hell is this?" They exclaimed in unison.

Due to the past incident, Humanity became even more united, leading to a joint effort to better themselves.

Yes, there was more Negativity now, and Beings who wanted to do evil or profit above all else appeared. After all, that was normal, it was the nature of all Beings.

But compared to Earth, this place had very few of these Beings, the reason being that the Gods were ruling wisely here.

Another fact that contributed to this tranquility was the discovered portal.

Everyone understood that the invasion that happened the first time would happen again in the future; the existence of the portal was proof of that. The portal was like an alarm telling the Beings that things were not over yet, just postponed.

"...By the Primordial Chaos, this was very effective! My son-in-law's existence was very effective! This Sector went from an undeveloped state to a state similar to Earth in just 100,000 years!"

Not even Earth was that fast, the reason being several catastrophic events that happened on Earth and the greed of the Gods.

The Gods of Earth had always leaned more towards 'exploring' than 'guiding' Mortals; it was because of this experience that the Primordial Entities thought that 100,000 years wouldn't be a big deal. But they forgot to take into account several situations, the main one being the impact of Victor's existence on these Beings.

Instead of following the same path as Earth, these Gods assumed the posture of guiding their people, and the fact that there was only one Pantheon also helped in this development.

The Judges of The Abyss just waved their hands, and several screens appeared in front of them.

"This Sector already has a functional Hell, and The System is working correctly... Hmm, the Ruler does not exist here yet. Despite that, there have been no problems because the Gods are taking the reins to 'Judge' the dead, thus doing the Ruler's work... They are quite competent."

"Not only that, this place has a lot of Life..." The Universal Tree narrowed its eyes. "Holy... Abyss, look at this."

The Judges of the Abyss looked where The Universal Tree was pointing.

"...99% of the Mortal population has The Essence of a God..."

"This... This is ridiculous; this kind of situation is not normal; it can already be called an abnormality."

"Not necessarily, after all, it's not causing a bug in The System, right?"

"Are you blind? 99% of the population has The Essence of a God, and that Essence is thicker than normal; they are basically Beings progressing toward becoming Gods!"

The current population of the world was 20 billion Beings, and 99% of these Beings had The Essence of a God. If all these Beings become Gods... An unprecedented anomaly would occur.

After all, excess of anything was not good; Balance was always necessary.

"This won't happen; look." The Universal Tree showed an image to The Judges of The Abyss.

In this image, they saw The Council of Gods on this planet discussing this problem and the decision they made to control who will become a God and who will not.

"...They are policing themselves."

"It's more like they don't want too many Gods to not lose Power, but this greed is being effective in ensuring a Balance."

As Victor said, existence had strange ways of balancing itself.

"They even created Environmental Artifacts so that these semi-Gods don't reach Enlightenment and become Gods."

"...Haah, I'll think about this problem later. For now, let's discuss something... What should we do now?"

The Universal Tree fell silent. "...That's a good question indeed."

The situation was so abnormal that they pondered what to do next.

"This is your fault."

"What!? How is this my fault!?" He was indignant now.

"He's your son-in-law, so it's your fault."

"Ugh," The Universal Tree grumbled.

"Wait a sec, if Victor's existence is so effective, why don't we just send him to a less developed Sector and have him flex his Power a bit to see if it achieves the same result?"

"Hell no! This situation is clearly an exception to the rule; don't use what happened here as the standard."

Usually, when a powerful alien Being from another Dimension invades, the normal reaction of Beings is to panic and start killing each other, not unite under one banner and become more efficient.

This Sector was clearly abnormal, and because it encountered an even greater abnormality known as Victor, somehow this happened.

"Are you sure? You can't know if you don't try, you know?"

"... We'll think about it later. Now, don't change the subject!"

"Ugh. Just let the Beings resolve their problems; if something goes wrong, we intervene."

"In the end, we won't do anything."

"We've already done too much. It's up to the Beings to sort it out now. As Regulators of Existence, our job is done. This Sector has been Balanced, and it's capable of dealing with an existence like the Pantheons of Earth."

"...Didn't you say they can handle Victor?"

"Do you think anyone besides the strongest Beings can handle him?"

".... Fair enough." Despite this Sector having developed significantly, no Being of the same level as the strongest beings like Kali, Shiva, Victor, Odin, Ra, etc., had appeared yet.

The Powers of these Beings were as strong as the 'Emperors' of older Sectors.

To be honest, Earth hadn't evolved into an older Sector simply because of internal conflict; after all, there were many powerful Beings there. But evolving into an older Sector required everyone to unite under one banner, something challenging to achieve on Earth with so many abnormal Beings. In only that place, there were three Apocalyptic Beasts!

No Sector had three Apocalyptic Beasts!

Not even this developed Sector has Apocalyptic Beasts.

Earth's Sector was clearly abnormal, and that's why the Primordial Entities kept a closer eye on that place.
