Chapter 802: He is the one who is above all.
Outside the Olympus Dimension, in the Void's exterior, Primordial Entities began to appear.
The Three Judges of Abyss, The Owner of The Limbo Prison, and even the projection of the Universal World Tree appeared here.
"An anomaly..." The Three Judges of Abyss murmured in unison.
"He has become much stronger than before... Good, my sister is in good hands." The white projection of The Universal Tree spoke with a big smile.
"Such an existence won't disrupt The Balance?" The Owner of Limbo spoke.
"He won't," The Universal Tree said. "After all, his Essence is that of Negativity, and he is not trying to acquire The Positive Aspect of The Balance in his existence as Diablo attempted."
"That's not what I'm talking about. I mean, The Balance will shift towards Negativity, and that will cause an imbalance," The Owner of Limbo said.
"That won't happen either. Unlike other Negative Beings, he has no interest in such matters. As long as he's not provoked, he won't do anything; he truly is like a Dragon," The Universal Tree smiled. "Why do you think I Blessed him?"
The Owner of Limbo fell silent and didn't say anything. Thoughts passed through his head, thoughts that only he knew.
Another Being appeared not far from them, causing a bit of surprise to everyone.
"Death," The Three Judges of Abyss spoke again in unison as they looked at a Being entirely made of Darkness.
Death, The True Death, The End of Everything. The one who will be the last to disappear when the Universe completes its cycle, representing the True 'END' of everything.
"How rare for you to appear," The Owner of Limbo said. "Normally, you have no interest in mundane affairs."
Death said nothing and just observed everything until he saw enough and spoke with a neutral voice that echoed through the abyss:
"A Progenitor of Vampires born in an era where there already exists a Progenitor... An anomaly. Why did you allow this?"
"We didn't," The Three Judges of Abyss spoke for everyone. "They did."
"...Interesting. I wonder why they made that decision."
"We don't know."
"We don't care."
"We will just do our job."
""Maintaining Balance is all that matters.""
The Three Judges of Abyss spoke one after the other and ended up speaking in unison at the end.
The Universal Tree and The Owner of Limbo simply nodded, agreeing with the Beings' words.
Death fell silent, nodded, and resumed observing everything, just like the other Primordials...
Scathach opened her eyes wide as she looked at this level of destruction she had never seen before. A Power capable of piercing the Natural Barriers of a Pantheon... This level of Power was unprecedented.
Her eyes turned to Victor's sturdy back, and for some reason, his back seemed taller and more reliable now.
Scathach's eyes softened, and a word appeared in her mind. 'Darling...' Her heart was an emotional mess, filled with anger, hatred, worry, love, and relief.
Several emotions were swirling within her at this moment. Even in her Vampire Count Form, where her emotions should have been colder, she still felt these intense feelings.
She forced those emotions down and regained her composure. Now wasn't the time to get lost in feelings; they were still at war.
When the Power disappeared completely, she saw Victor stagger to the side for a few seconds until he planted his feet firmly on the ground and regained his composure.
Scathach opened her eyes wide when she saw this small action, quickly approaching Victor and looking at his face. Even though his face seemed composed, she could see that he was very tired.
[Victor, you need to rest! Even by Dragon standards, that breath would exhaust them and render them inactive for a long time. It's a miracle that you're still standing now,] Roxanne warned with concern.
Victor was utterly exhausted, and the previous attack had used up all the Energy stored within him.
Even though Roxanne was talking to Victor, he wasn't listening. His mind was wandering as a numb feeling spread throughout his body. He didn't know where he was or who he was, but instinctively, he knew he couldn't fall now.
[Damn it, he's not listening! His consciousness is fading,] Roxanne panicked, trying to think of ways to wake him up.
Luckily, Scathach was nearby, and she also noticed Victor's state, so she stood in front of Victor and pulled his face toward her.
Victor's empty eyes looked at the woman in front of him. His gaze registered her presence, but his consciousness didn't awaken.
"And to think you would exert yourself to be in this state..." Scathach assumed a solemn expression. It was the first time she saw Victor like this, and it was safe to say she didn't like it at all.
"I shouldn't have been so proud. I should have accepted the power-up when the opportunity presented itself," Scathach bit her lips in frustration.
If she had accepted his offer to become part of Victor's Clan, her Power would be much higher than it was now.
Unlike Victor, who was always seeking ways to become stronger, Scathach was content to rely on her own talent and potential, and until now, that method had always worked, but... In a battle of this level, she realized how foolish she had been.
Scathach bit her lips, and red blood stained her pale lips as she kissed Victor.
Even with her icy kiss, Victor's consciousness was still wandering. Only when he swallowed Scathach's blood did his eyes open wide, and his consciousness returned with full force.
Scathach pulled away from Victor. "You're awake."
"...Yes." Victor nodded, his eyes glowing a dangerous violet as he surveyed his surroundings.
With just a glance, he could see Nyx and Erebus fighting in the distance, Nocturnus looking at him fearfully, and a man at a distance gazing at the hole in the sky.
Victor narrowed his eyes when he saw the man; for some reason, he could 'see' much more than before. Now, he could clearly tell which Divinity resided in the man's Soul.
"Death, Weather, and Animals." Those were the main characteristics he observed.
If he possesses Death, it means he can influence Souls; he can destroy Souls. He can kill him, and he can kill his Wives.
Every muscle in Victor's body tensed.
[Darling, you're finally back! Now that you're back listen to me, you must-]
[I know... My heart needs to rest, and you need time to gather Energy.] Victor replied.
[Yes...]
[But that doesn't mean we can't help in this process.] Victor's eyes glowed with desire as he saw Tartarus' half body on the ground.
Victor tried to move towards the body, but his entire body refused to cooperate. He gritted his teeth and forced his body to move.
"Stop. Even though your body is abnormal, pushing it to the limit like this will only harm you."
"I don't care."
"I know." Scathach smiled with a cold smile.
Scathach vanished from where she stood and appeared in front of Tartarus' body.
As she was about to bend down to pick up Tartarus' body, a woman's hand appeared and held her hand.
"I can't let you do that."
Scathach felt a chill down her spine and looked up. There, she saw a woman with long green hair that reached the ground, the curvaceous body of a mature woman, her intimates covered by plants, and her long green hair.
"Gaia." Even though she hadn't met her personally, Scathach could easily guess who the woman was; her characteristics were too obvious.
Scathach pulled her hand from the Goddess's grip.
At that moment, a terrible killing intent descended on the battlefield, and Gaia and Scathach looked at Victor; his wings were fully spread, his teeth grinding against each other. He was the perfect image of a furious Dragon.
"How protective..." Gaia narrowed her eyes, and in the next moment, she jumped back as she felt an attack coming from Scathach.
"Stop. I don't want to fight you," Gaia spoke gently, but soon Victor's irritated and cold voice was heard.
"Don't trust her. She did something to your wrist; she marked your Soul." There was a reason why Victor was so angry.
Whom would Scathach trust? A woman who appeared out of nowhere, or Victor? Of course, the obvious answer was Victor.
Scathach looked at her wrist but saw nothing. Even though she couldn't see anything with her naked eye, she fully trusted Victor, so if he said she did something, then she did.
Scathach's posture turned hostile. Goddess of The Earth or not, she could die if she was touched by her Spear.
"Tsk." Gaia realized that it would be futile to try to speak soothing words in front of someone with the eyes of a Dragon; they saw through all the deceit.
Gaia made a hand gesture, and vines started to emerge from the ground. Life came into The Underworld under the influence of The Mother Goddess, but before these vines could reach Scathach, they all disappeared before Scathach's Techniques.
Gaia was not like Tartarus or Erebus. She was not a fighter. In fact, the times she fought could be counted on one hand, and she usually preferred to plan and manipulate rather than engage in combat. She is, after all, a Mother Goddess.
Victor's eyes narrowed when he saw Nocturnus moving.
That man was dangerous, and even Scathach wouldn't be able to dodge his attacks. In fact, dodging his attack was impossible. You could only defend or nullify the attack with something equivalent, and Scathach had none of those tools at hand now. If he threw the Void at Scathach... She would have no chance.
Victor's eyes glowed with anger.
'Move... MOVE!' Victor's heart began to beat again as he forced his exhausted heart to produce more Energy.
In this situation, Roxanne didn't say anything. She knew nothing would stop Victor, so she just did her best to assist him.
A red light momentarily appeared in Victor; a small spark of Negative Energy entered his body, so small it couldn't fill the abyss that was his reserves, but... this small spark was more than enough.
Victor's body tensed, and he took a step. With each step he took, the atmosphere became 100 times heavier, but it wasn't Power. It was simply Victor's intent, and with each step he took, this murderous intent worsened.
Combining the murderous intent of a Progenitor who killed billions of Beings and the murderous intent of an angry Dragon, the very environment changed just with his intent.
Victor jumped towards Nocturnus; he wasn't as fast as before, but he didn't care. All that mattered was Nocturnus' death.
"Hiii!" The God of The Void trembled in fear when he saw that monster coming towards him. He felt so small, terrified of Victor, and this fear clouded his judgment so that he didn't even realize Victor's exhausted state.
Nocturnus didn't even think twice and used his Divinity to escape.
Victor clicked his tongue and changed his direction towards Gaia.
"Damn monster, even so exhausted, he still looks so terrifying..." Unlike Nocturnus, Gaia was still very composed.
Gaia made another hand gesture, and mountains and plants appeared in front of her; in the meantime, she also tried to hide Tartarus' body.
But she couldn't do that when all the lands in front of her vanished from existence.
Gaia narrowed her eyes at the woman in front of her, but when she saw the woman's stance, Gaia's eyes widened.
"Pierce." Scathach murmured and attacked with a thrust toward Gaia.
But all the attack hit was a mountain created by Gaia. Unlike the other mountains, this mountain was reinforced, and Scathach's attack pierced the mountain but didn't go through completely.
But that was Gaia's mistake: she wasn't only fighting Scathach.
Gaia felt a dreadful presence next to her, and at that moment, she saw an enraged Humanoid Vampyric Dragon.
"Wait—" Gaia's words died when a fist smashed into her face, sending her flying to the ground, creating a massive crater.
"Cough." Gaia spat out golden blood.
"Tsk." Victor clicked his tongue. If it were before, he would have blown Gaia's head off. It was another proof of how weakened he was now.
Victor ignored Gaia; he didn't have time for this. He needed to recover, and there was a body lying right there. He flapped his wings and flew towards Tartarus' body.
At that moment, Gaia's hands clenched, and her eyes glowed in neon green.
"BASTARD!!!" The entire surrounding land began to tremble under the fury of The Mother Goddess, and everything started to move, like the sea. The land around them became unstable, mountains were made as the land rose and fell, and the ground lost all sense.
Tartarus' body was hidden by Gaia, and soon an enraged Goddess appeared flying in the sky.
Her face bore the mark of Victor's punch.
"You dare... You dare strike a woman's face!? My face!?" She had never felt so infuriated before. Even her own son's betrayal wasn't as annoying as this humiliation.
"Woman...?" Victor raised an eyebrow as he turned his face with a twisted smile.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Victor seemed like he had heard the funniest joke of his life.
"...."
"You think you're a woman?" He spoke with disdain.
"You're not a woman. What's in front of me now..."
"Is just a walking piece of shit."
Seth, Nocturnus, and Scathach widened their eyes. Even the war that was happening between Olympus and Persephone paused at such a statement.
They weren't the only ones. Even Erebus and Nyx stopped their fight to look at Victor.
It was official; this man had balls the size of a planet! You needed to have that much courage to irritate a Mother Goddess! She was literally The First Goddess to be born in the Pantheon. Even Nyx wouldn't provoke her 'older sister.'
Before, she would have done it, but now? She wouldn't dare. The reason for this was their fear for her beloved 'son.'
'Darling, you're crazy!' Aphrodite thought as she looked at Gaia, who had her face covered by her green hair.
'Fuck, she's really angry.'
When her face appeared, all everyone saw was a distorted face not very befitting of a Mother Goddess.
"TYPHON!!"
ROAAAAAAAAAAAR!
A roar that instilled existential fear in everyone was heard in the distance.
The Earth began to tremble as The Beast of The END was coming.
But this knowledge didn't stop Victor's mouth.
"Oya~? You couldn't take the teasing and called your son to clear your dignity? As expected, the title 'easy bitch' is much better for a Goddess like you."
"…B-Bastard! Do you dare-!?"
Victor interrupted Gaia. "Dare what? Call you an easy bitch? Shit deposit?" Victor asked in an innocent tone.
He didn't know what this woman put in Scathach's Soul, but he didn't like it at all, and he was going to make her pay for it until he got his answers.
"ENOUGH! I will kill him myself!" Gaia snapped completely as she vanished and appeared in front of Victor, punching his face.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
Victor was sent flying to the ground, crossing several mountains.
"...Huh? Did I hit him?" It was worth noting that this was the first time she had tried to punch something, so she was surprised.
'... I see... That's why he was provoking her.' Scathach thought when she saw where Victor flew.
Victor crawled towards Tartarus' body, opened his mouth wide, and began to eat the corpse.
Hearing the strange noise coming from where Victor was, Gaia looked with her Divine Senses and widened her eyes.
"Stop, Stop! What are you doing? Spit it out now!" Even though she was yelling this, she didn't approach. She couldn't... The dreadful aura was gradually increasing.
Gulp.
Victor swallowed the last part of Tartarus' body, and at that moment, he felt something accelerating within him...
Suddenly, a pillar of pure red and violet Energy exploded toward the sky.
Everyone instinctively felt that something had changed; by eating the Primordial God who was the second oldest after Gaia, something changed. Something evolved. Something dreadful had just been born!
Victor appeared in the air, his Draconic and Vampyric features in the Progenitor Form completely fused into something completely new. His long black hair, made of miasma, fluttered in the wind.
His pupils had a violet glow with crimson tones, his wings opened behind him, and for a moment, everyone felt small.
Zaladrac, who was in Nightingale observing everything, suddenly showed a big smile and...
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Began to laugh, happiness overflowing from her laughter.
Everyone wondered what was happening. After all, they had never seen this Stoic Dragon laugh like this before. They had even doubted if she knew what laughter was.
Why was she so happy? It was simple. A new Race of Dragons had just been born, not just a Race, but a damn Progenitor had been born!
Victor Alucard, at this moment, lost his status as the Progenitor of Vampires and acquired another status, a more special one.
He was The First, The Beginning, The Only One. The one who stands above all Dragon Species and Vampire Species.
He was Victor Alucard, the Primogenitor of Vampyric Dragons, a new Race of Dragons completely different from anything that had ever existed.
