Chapter 848: A 'good' woman. 3
"Fuc-" When he exploded in anger, a booming sound was heard, and a hole appeared in Volk's chest.
"... Eh?"
"You finally let your guard down," Tasha spoke disdainfully.
Volk looked in the direction where the projectile came from and saw a werewolf positioned like a sniper in the distance.
"Coward...!" He growled in anger and forced his wound to close, but... It wasn't closing.
"Wolfsbane..." He muttered as he fell to his knees.
He looked at the hole in his chest. 'This isn't a normal Wolfsbane... I can feel my system failing... What is this? Some Egyptian nonsense she came up with?'
'And why couldn't I react to this bullet with my senses? Normally, I can easily dodge a bullet.' Volk looked at the projectile, and his face contorted when he saw what it was.
"Demon metal... ALUCARD!!" He roared internally, looking around, and he saw a man with dragon wings looking at him with a big smile on his face.
"Damn!!"
"Coward?" Tasha's wolf tail wagged, her eyes gleamed, and her disdain for Volk practically tripled.
"Coward was you attacking me while I trusted you. Coward, was you making plans against me even though I trusted you and supported your plans."
"You acted first, Volk."
"You trampled on my pride. Therefore, it's logical for me to destroy everything you've built with all my might, using everything at my disposal."
Volk coughed several times, and blood began to come out of his orifices.
Tasha walked toward Volk. "Your legacy will be stolen and destroyed. Your presence will be erased from the history books and the memories of people. I will make everyone forget who you are, even if I have to ask for help from the 'vampires' you trust so much."
"The great King of the werewolves, Volk Fenrir, will be reduced to nothing more than a random wolf who died while fighting a random vampire slave."
"You will be a nobody, as you always were if it weren't for my help."
...
"... Pffft..." Victor put his hand on his mouth and tried to maintain his serious attitude, but soon, he couldn't control his laughter, and he let out:
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He began to clap as if he were watching a great show.
With each clap, a loud sound echoed around him; such was the force of his simple actions.
"See? That's what I'm talking about! No mercy, no cordiality, just pure dominance and obedience."
"She is perfect as a monarch."
"... She's not a monarch... She's a tyrant," Adam spoke.
"Exactly, my dear son-in-law. She is a tyrant who is a Monarch, very different from Volk, who is just an incompetent tyrant."
"In our world, there is no room for cordiality, and there is no room for internal diplomacy."
"The one at the top dictates everything. A government that has its power divided is flawed."
Because of this, Victor made sure that all the most important people within his faction were his wives. Because of Victor's preference for obsessive and crazy women who were 100% loyal to him, his government would never have divided power because power was always in the hands of his family.
Not even his future children would have a relevant position of power within his faction; only those who were his wives would have that position.
From the outside, it seemed like there was 'diplomacy,' but everyone knew very well that Victor had total authority. But despite this, Victor still let his wives deal with their own people, as in Haruna's case, even though she was his wife, and he had a certain authority with the Youkais.
Who commands the Youkais is Haruna, not him. The same will be the case in the future with the werewolves. Does Victor have a problem with that?
Of course not. After all, the queen of these peoples will be his wife, a wife who is strong, a tyrant, and cruel. Who would dare to question her?
Leona, Maya, and Tasha with the werewolves.
Haruna with the Youkais.
Aphrodite, Hestia, and Metis with the goddesses.
Roxanne with the fairies and beings linked to the world tree.
Violet, Sasha, and Ruby with the vampires.
The demons with their demonic generals, and Lilith herself.
And his dear disciple with the humans.
In the end, everyone will be under his absolute dominion.
"The next ones will be the witches, and... The Norse pantheon..." Victor's smile grew. He could hardly wait for his dear 'master' to ask for his 'demonic' help.
Watching Victor's reactions, Scathach displayed a small smile. 'The dragon within him has changed him. He has become more active, more conquering, more tyrannical... His humanity has been completely erased, and all that remains are his principles imprinted on his soul... The dragon within made him look at the world and desire it for himself.'
Victor became a conquering king... In fact, he already was like this. These characteristics were seen when he was conquering hell.
But in hell, it was a matter of necessity. Now? It's not a matter of necessity, but because he WANTS to do it. He made a move with the witches, even though he didn't need to.
Initially, he just wanted to support Tasha and make her a 'good woman' as he did with Jeanne and Morgana, but his desires evolved a bit.
He still wants to make her a good woman, but he also wants her for himself, along with her entire race and influence.
Like a dragon written in the stories of mythologies, Victor is accumulating 'treasure,' but the only difference between mythological dragons and Victor is that he is not accumulating simple treasures like gold or artifacts.
He is accumulating power.
Power in all forms, in the form of influence with other races, in the form of technology, in the form of pure battle power, in the form of subordinates.
If historians saw Victor's actions, they would describe it as the rise of an emperor... a Dragon Emperor.
...
"... You talk too much, Tasha... Someone like you who had nowhere to go and was rescued by me."
Tasha grabbed Volk by the neck and lifted him in the air.
"You're correct. In the past, I had nowhere to go when I was running from my pantheon; I was weak, my people were weak. And you helped me, you hid us, and in return for that help, I made you A KING." She slammed him into the ground.
"And what do I get in exchange for this act? WHAT DO I GET!?"
"A stab in the back from my 'beloved' husband," Tasha tightened her grip on Volk's neck as she spat on the ground in disgust.
"You betrayed me first with that bloodsucker!" Volk snapped.
The grip on Volk's neck stopped, and she looked at him with cold eyes.
"I see... Just as I expected, it's all about him, huh... All because of jealousy."
"Jealousy!? You betrayed me with that bastard! How dare you talk about loyalty when you slept with a damn vampire!"
"... I never slept with Victor, Volk," Tasha spoke coldly.
"Do you think I'm a fool!? Do you think I don't know about your nightly encounters!?"
"If you were 1% of the man Victor is, you would have trusted me and talked to me, asked me directly, like a confident and Alpha man would, but no. Instead, you decided to stab me in the back."
"Not to mention that this whole situation unfolded this way because you needlessly antagonized the Demon King. I said a thousand times, let me handle the negotiations, but what did you do!? Because of your useless jealousy, you interfered."
"... And now here we are."
"Useless jealousy..." Volk growled.
"Correct," Tasha said coldly.
"Yes, I find him handsome. And somewhere in your mind, you find him handsome, too, but that's normal; his existence is only beautiful because he was blessed by a goddess of beauty. But just because I find someone attractive doesn't mean I'll betray my relationship."
"Do you know what those words show me? That you never fully trusted me from the beginning..." Tasha let go of Volk.
"But it's okay... I never fully trusted you, either. It's not in my nature to fully trust a person, so I made backup plans in case something went wrong."
A golden power began to emanate from her body as Tasha stopped walking and looked at Volk. "I'll be honest with you."
"Even when the Demon King came to my quarters to negotiate with me personally, I was strong and didn't let myself fall for his charm. I got a beneficial deal for both of us... And in return, I had several nights with someone who could truly understand me."
"After the deal ended, I found myself wishing for that feeling again, that feeling of unconditional trust, something I could never get from you."
"After that day, I found myself wanting to be his, I found myself wanting him to love me that way too, I found myself wanting him to take me from behind and fuck me so hard that he deposited all his fertile seeds inside me, and put a child inside my womb."
...
Scathach and Metis looked dryly at Victor.
"...What? I'm not the one saying this. It's her." Victor said the obvious with an innocent face.
The two women just snorted and turned away.
...
"But even though I wanted that, I didn't move on it. I'm a goddess, a monarch, and I know very well how to control my desires."
"...But now that has changed..."
Volk felt butterflies in his stomach when he saw that woman's face.
"You changed that." She smiled coldly, her golden power increasing even more.
"You were so jealous that because of your actions, your greatest fears will come true... As soon as you die, I will let myself be taken into the strong arms of that man, like the mate of the sex goddess. I predict that he will give me a pleasure that you will never be able to give me, with this act the stench of your existence will be completely erased by him."
"Rejoice, Volk. You yourself caused your own downfall. You caused your own green hat."
"FUCKING BITCHHHH!"
Bang, Bang!
Two sniper shots from different points pierced Volk's body. The shots were accurate, targeting only his legs, Tasha's people were professional killers, they would never miss.
But even without his legs, Volk didn't stop trying to move toward Tasha.
"Pathetic." Tasha's golden power exploded.
...
"Here it is, here it is! Finally! Yes!" Victor's hype was real. He loved that feeling when he saw a good woman 'evolving'.
"...Just what's coming, Victor?" Scathach asked.
"What else?" Victor returns to floating 'peacefully' in the air, regaining his old posture, but the smile of amusement on his face told how his mood was now: "Tasha's true divine form has finally reached him! HAHAHAHAHA, And all that she needed was to get rid of her useless husband who limited her."
"Wait… Does that mean she evolved from a low-level goddess to a high-level goddess?" Metis said that, from what she knew, only high-level gods had a true 'form' that would be able to use all of her concept powers.
"Correct."
"Just how is this possible…"
"She had the potential from the beginning, and the path was already completely open. She just needed to get rid of the useless weight... That's what my instincts said. Now, in this current form of mine, I can clearly 'see' that I was correct."
"...Just what senseless, insane instinct is this? It makes no sense." Metis grumbled.
"Don't try to understand. He was never normal." Scathach just shook her head.
Maya, who was listening to all this, looked at Victor briefly and then at Tasha, whose body began to reappear.
As the golden light began to dissipate and Tasha's true form appeared, Maya couldn't help but think.
'Shackles that bind your potential, huh…' Maya briefly glanced at her husbands, and a small cold smile appeared on her face.
Unconsciously, all the men felt a chill down their spine, but they didn't know where it came from, and because of that, they didn't care much.
