My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires-Chapter 940: The children of Loki, and an ancient dragon. Two
As he held these thoughts of his God's greatness, he looked at the only woman in their group and waved his hand in a gesture that said: 'Do as we agreed.'
Understanding her Leader's intentions, the woman's wings extended wide, and she began to collect the Dimension's Energy, as well as Nyx's Energy.
Nyx and the women who were watching this looked on with interest to see what the woman was doing.
As they watched, War began to speak: "The reason why Lady Nyx would be discovered if she got too close is because True Dragons have an instinctive perception of the Nature around them, especially for a Dragon that has devoured the roots of a World Tree since the beginning of its existence."
"Although you use your Power to cover your body, remember that True Dragons are completely compatible with Creation."
"And since he is a Dragon of The End while simultaneously possessing the status of an Elder Dragon, he will instinctively notice any fluctuations around his area of observation. Lady Nyx made the right decision not to get too close."
Nyx, Scathach, Aphrodite, Eleonor, and Violet narrowed their eyes when they heard War's explanation. The detailed, methodical way he spoke was like an experienced hunter explaining how to hunt his prey.
"But there is a case where a Dragons' senses can fail... And this happens when something 'unnatural' merges with the environment."
After gathering the Energy of the environment into her wings, the woman opened her hands, forming a ball of Energy above her palms. The next moment, this ball of Energy exploded, and a dome formed around the group.
Nyx analyzed the surrounding dome and realized that her Divine Energy had completely fused with something foreign... Something that was very reminiscent of Victor's Powers.
"Although Chaos is part of Creation, that is not entirely correct. After all, Chaos is both the beginning of everything and the end of everything, and this peculiarity confuses the senses of True Dragons. This is because they are dealing with contradictory duality. For Beings who are not my Master, this is a fatal weakness."
With a snap of the fingers, the group vanished and appeared near the gathering of powerful Beings.
A gigantic snake with a body that saw no end, a giant wolf with teeth that could devour everything and an ancient Dragon over 400 meters tall.
The three Beings were looking at a pale woman with long white hair who, unlike Violet's, which was healthy and shiny, seemed to be devoid of any vitality. She was sitting on a stone Throne, looking like a frail lady. She was wearing a white dress, but instead of pure white, it appeared to be a dirty gray-white.
The Divine Robes completely reflected her current state. For some reason, Hela was significantly weakened, but… Even though she was weakened, her connection with her Divine Concept was firm and strong.
"...Just how did Loki have these children?" Aphrodite asked, very confused by these Beings.
"The snake, the Dragon, and the wolf are Beings of The End, but even Hela herself is not normal…" Looking at the woman, Aphrodite could clearly feel the abnormal Divinity related to Death and Time emanating from her.
The Divinity of Death was understandable; she was a Goddess of The Underworld, "I really want to kidnap Loki..." Velnorah, who had been silent until now, spoke upon after all. But Time? And especially such a strong Divinity of Time at that?
"I really want to kidnap Loki..." Velnorah, who had been silent until now, spoke upon seeing the appearance of these Beings. Just one of them would be able to completely destroy an entire civilization, and yet there were 3 here, two of which came from the same source. Man, she really wanted to do some harmless experiments with The God of Tricksters.
"You cannot." Ruby denied it.
"Ugh," Velnorah grunted in annoyance.
"See? Even standing in front of them, they don't notice us." War spoke with amusement as two violet glows appeared from within his hood of pure darkness. If he had eyes, they would definitely be shining now in worship, thanking his God very much for giving him various knowledge.
And that voice of amusement confirmed the girls' thoughts.
"Yes. He's like a hunter… Did Darling teach him the weaknesses of True Dragons?" Violet spoke in a voice only Nyx could hear.
"He is Victor's Herald... His most faithful subordinate. He must be competent if Victor delegated him the role of hunting members of his own kind." Eleonor said. It's worth mentioning that she didn't like this information at all.
"You misunderstand. He is saying this to show us a fatal weakness of our Race, a weakness that only Victor and those who use his unique Energy can exploit." Scathach began to explain.
"With him revealing this weakness to us, he is telling us to rest assured because a Being that controls' Chaos' other than Victor will not appear so easily. Yes, it is a weakness, but at the same time, it is not because only Victor is capable of exploiting it."
Despite Scathach saying this to assuage their fears, there was another somewhat obvious thought that she neglected to mention. War's existence was not just as Victor's Herald. His existence was also a countermeasure in case a True Dragon of their Faction went rogue in the future.
'Nothing will happen this generation and probably not in the next, but what will happen in 4 or 6 generations when the population of True Dragons grows bigger? Victor is already thinking about the future. Birthing a Race that is completely invincible without countermeasures is idiotic.' Scathach suspected that this was also a way of keeping the Primordials happy.
With the existence of War, he can declare that in the event that a member of his Race went rogue, he could eliminate them without causing harm to Creation.
'But… Is that correct? Will The Balance allow a boom in the population of Beings like True Dragons to appear in the future?' Scathach didn't know. She didn't understand much about Creation to claim such a thing because she didn't know if the 'rules' would change when this sector leveled up.
The logic was simple: if Beings like True Dragons exist here, it would not be an exaggeration to think that dominant Races also exist in other Higher Sectors.
The only thing she felt was a headache when she realized the long-term things Victor was doing.
"Sister, you are very weak. Are you sure you want to do this?" Fenrir asked.
"Don't worry, Fenrir… I won't fall so easily." Hela's voice resounded around the area. Even speaking seemed difficult for her.
"Not until Ragnarok occurs."
Fenrir looked at his sister's pure white eyes in silence. He couldn't understand why she started all this, but he didn't care. He would help her, and along the way, he would enjoy and delight in the flesh of Thor and Odin. If his father was around, he would feast upon him too.
"So it's not a simple civil war…" Nyx commented. "She wants to end the Gods."
"Don't jump to hasty conclusions. We need to understand more of the context of the situation. Sometimes, not everything is so simple." Aphrodite spoke.
Velnorah and Scathach nodded in agreement with her opinion.
"Well, it doesn't matter that much. When she starts the conflict, we can steal Odin's treasures." Violet spoke. "I believe that Nyx is very suited to this task."
"I was already planning to do that," Nyx spoke.
"Good." Violet laughed.
The women rolled their eyes when they saw Nyx and Violet so in sync in the act of accumulating wealth.
At that moment, Amaterasu entered the room along with Sasha.
"Aphrodite, Amaterasu wants to talk to you about something," Sasha said.
Aphrodite raised her eyebrow and looked at Amaterasu, indicating for her to start speaking.
"Aphrodite, I need the plans to-..." Seeing the image of three monstrous Beings, Amaterasu became curious: "What are you doing?"
"Watching a documentary on three Gods of The End and an abnormal Death Goddess. Three of them are Loki's children. Apparently, that man has some cursed balls or something... I'm almost tempted to allow Velnorah to experiment on him."
Velnorah's eyes sparkled.
"You cannot. And Violet, don't create unnecessary conflicts!" Ruby denied it.
"Humpf." Violet just snorted.
Amaterasu didn't know how to react to this information, so she just walked closer and looked curiously at the hologram. "...And to think that these Beings were in the Norse Pantheon."
"Odin is quite unlucky," Sasha commented.
The surrounding women couldn't help but agree with Sasha.
"...Hela...Remember our agreement." An ancient and powerful voice echoed around, shifting the group's attention to the 400 meter tall black Dragon. The creature's dark blue eyes looked at Hela's figure with indifference and pride.
Hela looked at Nidhogg, "I know. After this war, you can do whatever you want."
The Dragon's eyes flickered, and even though he didn't say anything, a sense of confirmation echoed. "Call me when it starts."
Then, a word was spoken in the Draconic Language, a word that only Nyx and the women who were True Dragons understood: "Return." Soon, the Dragon's massive body disappeared completely.
As the massive figure disappeared, a grunt of annoyance echoed around them. "I don't understand why you needed to sacrifice your vitality for him. This war would be easy to win with just us."
"He is necessary…" She rose with difficulty from the Throne.
Seeing this, Fenrir quickly transformed into his humanoid form and supported his sister. "Here, Sister. Hold me."
Hela's eyes opened slightly, and despite being in shock due to her younger brother's change, after all, he had never shown such blatant kindness like this before in her entire existence, she decided not to say anything and just leaned on him while continued saying:
"For our future... Ragnarok must happen." A black Staff materialized in Hela's hand, and this Staff sent chills down the spines of everyone who saw it.
The dead spirits of the Kingdom began to come towards her, and then they entered the Staff. "And for that future to come to pass, I don't mind discarding my vitality."
"An Artifact with the Concept of The End built into it…" Nyx muttered in shock. If before she only thought of Hela as just an abnormal Goddess, Nyx now assigned her the same level of abnormality as her brothers.
It was not just the fact that the existence of a Staff with the literal Concept of The End existed, which should have been theoretically impossible, but also the fact that she was holding it!
She was holding an Artifact of The End without being erased from existence, which was even more abnormal considering she was not a Goddess of The End but rather one of Death and Time.
"...Can I kidnap Loki now?" Velnorah asked with a desire for knowledge shining in her eyes. She wanted to dissect Loki thoroughly. Ideally, she also wanted to kidnap the mother of these Beings, Angrboda, to see if the abnormality was in Loki or her.
After all, Angrboda wasn't exactly normal either. She was known as the Goddess of Fear, and the woman had the ability to produce such monstrous children.
Ruby almost agreed with Velnorah. She was also more curious now herself, but she managed to remain silent and not say anything.
"...Fine, Sister. I will listen to you." Jormungandr grunted. "But if I find Loki, I will kill him." A mischievous smile appeared on the giant snake's face.
"I don't care. Just make sure you kill him completely. Just in case, make sure to completely destroy his body as well."
"I will." Jormungandr smiled even wider.
"Tsk, I wanted to kill him myself... But I can leave that fucker to you, brother." Fenrir spoke. "Just don't fall for his tricks."
This conversation provoked a reaction from those watching.
"One thing is certain… Loki's children love their father very much." Sasha spoke sarcastically.
"Well... It's understandable considering how he treated his children." Aphrodite nodded. The story of Loki separating his children from each other, leashing Fenrir, isolating Hela in this forsaken Realm, and isolating Jormungandr was very famous in the Norse Pantheon.
Any act of hatred by his children towards Loki and Odin was quite understandable. By fearing Ragnarok, Odin indirectly brought Ragnarok upon himself.
"I know," Jormungandr grunted. "Now, go take care of our sister. I will rest."
"Lazy. Why don't you transform into a humanoid form? Fighting in this large form must be very inconvenient. After all, compared to you, Thor is much smaller."
Hela and Jormungandr looked at Fenrir in disbelief. They never thought they would hear those words from their brother, who was proud of his Wolf Form.
'...Yes, he was definitely influenced... Was it the Werewolves who did this?' When Hela thought of this, she immediately denied the thought. 'Impossible, Fenrir doesn't respect them. He only protects them because they are in his territory. Someone capable of influencing Fenrir must be someone Fenrir himself accepts as an equal.'
As Hela's curiosity was piqued, she decided to ask Fenrir more about his time in Samar.
"I don't even know how to react to this, Fenrir... Therefore, I will go to sleep." The snake began to close its eyes and lower its head.
"Well, then, don't come crying to me when you lose to Thor." Fenrir shrugged.
Jormungand just grunted in annoyance and ignored his brother.
"Come on, sister." Fenrir snorted and helped his sister into her chambers.
"Mmm."
