Chapter 1011: Traces of Divinities.
Back in the cursed chair once again, Nero found herself pondering what she should do. It was obvious that she shouldn't rely on her father for help; she needed to take action on her own.
"Allies? At the moment, I have none." Nero immediately dismissed the thought. She contemplated several possible scenarios she could utilize.
But none of them seemed viable for the current situation. She could try to deceive these noble vampires in some way, but she wasn't exactly an expert in manipulation; she had always been someone who relied on force. And she highly doubted that these arrogant noble vampires would listen to a mere 'experimental subject' like her. The only viable option she could imagine was force.
"But even if I try to use force, I don't have enough strength to get out of this situation alone," Nero grunted as she felt the needle touch her arm again.
An inexplicable anger surged in her heart as she felt her body being used again without her consent.
"How dare they? How dare they defile this body? How dare they reduce me to this state? How dare they try to take advantage of me?"
"The only one permitted to do anything with me is my beloved Daddy!"
"Irritating, irritating. Irritating, irritating. These lowlife forms!"
[Stop.]
"H-Huh?" The noble vampire shuddered and quickly backed away from Nero. "Did you say something?"
"You must be imagining things; I didn't say anything."
"Idiot, I'm not talking about you! I'm talking about her!"
"How could she say anything if her mouth is closed? Are you crazy? It must have been the wind."
"The wind up my behind, that's a closed base," the noble vampire thought disdainfully upon hearing what his partner said.
"Hmm, maybe. Anyway, let's continue." The noble vampire tried not to dwell on it too much and just finish their work as quickly as possible, for some reason, he felt like something very bad would happen if he stayed here.
[I said...] Nero's white hair floated for a few seconds with a bright red power, veins popped on her head, her eyes turned into draconic slits, her mouth transformed into sharp teeth that tore through her bindings as if they were nothing: "STOP!"
The two noble vampires fell to the ground and stared at Nero with terror-filled eyes. Instead of a decrepit and weak little girl, what stood before them was a massive white dragon with blazing red eyes that made them feel like insects.
Breaking free from her restraints, a gigantic draconic hand covered in red power emerged from Nero's hand and grabbed the two individuals. Nero brought them close to her face.
Crack!
The bodies of the two individuals were broken into several pieces with the squeeze of the hand.
"AHHHHHHHHH!"
"How dare you defile my body, you worms!?"
"What's happening here!?" Several noble vampires entered the laboratory only to witness an unbelievable situation.
Nero's gaze turned to the noble vampires, a look that terrified them even more. Do you know what it's like to stand in front of a predator?
It was this feeling that the two of them were feeling right now.
"This filthy place. This place that desecrated my body must disappear from existence... I will never forgive myself if it continues to exist..." Nero's distorted voice continued to become more and more distorted.
His once red power began to turn black with shades of violet.
"Disappear!" A sphere of power that formed in Nero's mouth and a powerful violet breath flew towards the noble vampires.
The moment the powerful breath would touch the vampire nobles, time freezes, and in the next moment, reality shattered again like a mirror, and she was back at the starting point.
Nero looks around confused, that feeling of inexplicable anger disappeared from her body as if it never existed, she found herself even more confused than she initially was: '...What was that?'
Looking at her body, she felt weak again, but the memories of her 'rage' were still present in her existence, she tried to use that power again, but nothing left her body.
'Just what was that?'
...
With Victor.
"Well, this is an interesting development, isn't it?" Victor thought as he looked with curious eyes at Nero, specifically at her soul.
"Her soul is being filled with my essence in nightmare form... Instead of awakening current concepts like divinity, she's using me as a source. In the truest sense of the word, she's becoming my 'goddess.'" Victor smiled proudly.
He hadn't expected this situation; his adopted daughter turned out to be even more special than his own daughters. What the primordials of Negativity and Positivity are to the gods, a source of energy in the form of concepts, Victor is becoming that same type of existence for Nero.
The divinity Nero is awakening, the energy used in her, comes from Victor's nightmare form. In the truest sense of the word, she's becoming an Eldritch God.
If Yol is an Eldritch primordial born from Victor and Azathoth's energy, Nero is an Eldritch God utilizing Victor's energy as a concept.
<Apocalypse>
A concept outside of this cosmology, not bound by its rules. A concept that, in the truest sense of the word, could bring about the apocalypse for everything.
"Even though she hasn't completed the steps to divinity yet, due to the volatile nature of my nightmare form, in extreme anger, she ended up using a fraction of that divinity." Analyzing the divinity Nero is awakening, he realized that fury acted as fuel; the angrier she got, the more her concept spread, until a point where fury wouldn't be used as fuel anymore, but rather the existence itself around her.
Truly an Eldritch God indeed.
"If we follow the same rule of existence using Kali as a reference, Nero in the future could train her divinity to become something similar to my daughter Yol." Victor smiled in satisfaction.
Kali, who was meditating, opened her left eye slightly as she looked at Victor, then closed her eyes again. Even though she was meditating, her senses were quite active, all focused on Victor and what was happening around him.
Even though she couldn't see what was truly happening, she knew that what was happening near her was very important, so she didn't want to miss any details if possible.
And because of that thought, she managed to feel energy gathering around the girl with white hair. Opening her eyes, she looked at Nero, who was no longer lying on the mattress but floating while a violet energy with black shades covered her body.
Her short, smooth white hair changed; it grew to waist length and became wilder, with tips standing up like a lion's mane. Every part of Nero's body radiated power, an unknown and very dangerous power, a power that closely resembled that form of Victor she had once faced.
The girl's body visibly began to change; as the numbers decreased, marking the passing years within the house, her body grew in size until it stopped at 190 cm tall. Her breasts grew, but not excessively; she was perfectly balanced. Her body became more toned and muscular, but not in an ugly way like massive muscles, but rather like a warrior's, compact and full of power.
Clearly, her existence was growing in a way that would be more viable for combat, yet not forgetting to maintain her beauty, something probably caused by Victor's divinities of beauty.
Before Kali could comment, she saw Ophis's body being covered in black energy. However, unlike Nero, Kali could see what type of energy it was; the energy wasn't unknown.
But although the energy wasn't unknown like her sister's, the divinity forming in her body was one of the most dangerous out there. Kali sensed traces of the <Infinity> coming from Ophis.
A concept not as destructive as her own destruction, but with uses just as dangerous.
Just like her sister, Ophis floated in the air, her body began to change; she started to grow, but unlike Nero, her changes weren't as drastic. She simply grew until reaching 185 cm in height, and her body became fuller than Nero's. Her assets grew to G-Cup, and her buttocks became plump and rounded.
If Nero was the embodiment of toned and warrior-like beauty, Ophis was the representation of cute, gothic, and chubby beauty.
"Two new monsters... just like the rest of his daughters," Kali sighed. She had encountered some of Victor's daughters, and no matter who they were, they all had immense potential; they were all monsters in their respective areas.
Kali felt sorry for the gods who would face Victor's faction in the future.
Just as Kali felt these changes coming from Ophis, Victor felt the same, but unlike Kali, Victor 'saw' more things than Kali did.
His eyes narrowed dangerously. "Trying to gain control over my daughter, you worm?" He snorted. "That will never happen with me around."
Wings emerged behind Victor, and a violet power emanated from his body and flew towards Ophis; soon, the primordial's influence disappeared from Ophis, and in the next moment, the concept of <Infinity> changed.
Instead of Ophis drawing energy from the primordial of Infinity, she would draw energy from Victor himself, specifically from his nightmare form, transforming her, like Nero, into an Eldritch God with the aspect of <Infinity>.
"No one but me will have influence over my daughter. No One." Victor's thoughts were definitive; he didn't care if he offended a primordial or not; no one touched his daughters.
Carefully using his energy from the nightmare form, he replaced the energy used by Ophis's awakened divinity concept with his own, something he could do immediately due to the observations he had made from Nero.
As a monstrous genius who had always focused on training his control, it wasn't difficult to use small amounts of energy from his nightmare form to do this.
"I suppose I could do the same for my wives and daughters, making them beings outside the influence of this existence." Victor thought, but he didn't proceed with these thoughts yet.
After all, he only managed to change Ophis because she was in her early stages of divinity. Doing what he did was easier in their early stages than in a fully matured divinity like his wives and daughters. Their divinity was part of his existence, so this was a much more complicated task than what he was doing now.
But the thought still remained as a plan for the future when he studied more about this subject and became proficient enough to safely change the existential part of his wives and daughters.
"Fortunately, I was smart enough to leave traces of my energy in all of them; with that, I can prevent anyone from negatively influencing them." Victor thought, feeling proud of his past self.
As this happened, Kali watched everything with shocked eyes; even though she didn't fully understand what she saw, she had assumptions, and each of those assumptions was as terrible as the next.
Kali swallowed hard and tried to calm herself, something she was finding terribly difficult now.
Victor looked at Kali. Looking into those intense crimson-violet eyes, Kali felt a chill down her spine and quickly spoke, "I didn't see anything; I don't know anything."
Victor continued to stare at Kali for a few seconds and then returned his gaze to his daughters as he said, "Don't tell anyone what you saw." He used his contract.
Kali nodded, sighing in relief.
