My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires Chapter 1060: The 'Little' One.

Chapter 1060: The 'Little' One.

Victor was right. The moment he stepped into the Domain of the Primordial, Death was watching him. In fact, the Primordial had been watching ever since a portal suddenly appeared in his Domain, but thanks to Victor being in his Personal World and his subordinates and himself hiding his actions, the Primordial didn't notice anything unusual.
"That's interesting."
Death observed Victor's interactions with these Beings from a distance.
"While I'm flattered by everyone's attention, I can't make a deal with everyone. I only need one."
Victor's lack of reaction to the very presence of these Beings piqued Death's interest. Even Beings from Higher Sectors couldn't remain completely unaffected by the presence of these Beings, especially when in their territory.
The only ones who were not completely affected by these Beings were the strongest from the High-Level Sectors.
'Is it possible that he is already at that level?' Death wouldn't doubt it since he was the only Being to receive the Blessing of Negativity in all existence, a Being like that definitely had great potential.
Although this place was Death's 'territory', he didn't have awareness here, like, for example, the territory of The Owner of Limbo, because he was responsible for 'watching' this place and didn't create this place with his Powers.
This Domain was of Death, but it was not technically his, but rather these Beings. Death was just here to keep them on a leash, and occasionally, he let his lesser dogs make contact with those who had been touched by The End.
Because of this, he couldn't use his omniscience to 'observe' Victor further without the man knowing, and the very fact that he could sense the Primordial was already impressive for someone who was not yet in the Higher Sectors.
Not to mention that Death himself wasn't so interested because he knew that, in the end, it didn't matter much. They would all meet with him at The End of everything. After all, he was the Being that would 'close the curtains' when the time came.
A dog without fangs, so to speak. 'Even if he feeds this creature, it won't grow as large as the older ones.'
"How about you?" The Primogenitor of The Blood Dragons pointed in a direction, and a mass of eyes and darkness approached him.
Death narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at that Being before he lost interest. Although it was one of the oldest Beings present, it was one of the weakest because it always missed feeding time due to its competitors. It was the smallest and the weakest of all present.
A dog without fangs, so to speak. 'Even if he feeds this creature, it won't grow as large as the older ones.'
Beings thought that if they fed enough food to these creatures, they would grow immensely, but that was completely wrong. This kind of Being only grew when it consumed a specific type of Energy, the Energy from stars, planets, or a galaxy that was about to die.
The first two were impossible to happen with Death keeping them on a leash, and the last was even more unlikely to happen since the Primordials knew how these Beings grew. They controlled who ate the Energy from dead galaxies, and most of that Energy was also filtered by Death since that's his job.
"Yeah... You will be enough as a present for my Daughter."
"....." Death was speechless at what he had just heard. 'Is he going after one of the most dangerous Races to give as a present to his Daughter?'
One thing was true, if it was about madness, this man was on the same level as the well-established Beings of the Higher Sectors.
After choosing his new companion, Victor turned around and went back to the portal. He didn't try to take anything more or explore further.
'Well, even he's not crazy enough to go any further than the portal. This is no place for living Beings, Blessed by Negativity or not.' Death thought and then stopped looking.
About the little one? He didn't care. As said before, it was one of the oldest present but also one of the weakest, and because it was one of the oldest, it couldn't grow any further.
Instead of worrying about that, he would go back to his work.
...
As he returned to his Domain, Victor's mask remained, but his eyes were more focused. He looked at the Being in his hand, who was doing its best to remain smaller than it already was.
Hela looked at the being in Victor's hand and pointed: "Isn't he… too weak?"
"Yes, indeed." Victor's eyes shone slightly. "For now, that is."
For Victor, it didn't matter if he took one of the most powerful or one of the weakest; what mattered to him was the mentality.
While most of the Beings there had only hunger, desire, and fear in mind, this little one had ambition... An emotion born from being one of the oldest, and one of the weakest in an environment where everything was competition.
Not only that but unlike the others, this little one here, being one of the oldest, had something unique, something that even it didn't know, a direct connection to that place.
At the moment, Victor couldn't do much without attracting attention, but that wouldn't be the case in the future when his Wife was free.
This little one was the key to that place.
Yes, he could use Hela to open a portal with the Energy of The End, but using that Energy to open a portal was like taking a car to drive up to the neighbor's door and honking the horn, making a terrible noise. In other words, it was just a way of shouting to the Primordial that she was coming.
He had plans for that place, and Hela couldn't be involved, especially since those plans could put her at great risk.
And such risk wasn't necessary when he had easier ways of doing things.
"What's his ability?" Hela asked if each of those Beings had a unique ability that each of them developed. Some could split into several pieces, others had more complex abilities, and others had abilities equal to each other.
"Impregnation."
"... Impregnation?"
"Not in the way you're thinking. He's not an alien who will impregnate females." Victor snorted when he sensed what kind of thought Hela was having.
"Basically, he can soak a Being with a type of corruptive negative effect of his choice. Usually, this effect causes mental exhaustion that causes the death of weaker Beings."
"... That's pretty basic."
"Indeed." Victor didn't deny it. Niklaus's children could do something similar more efficiently.
Hela couldn't help but look at the thing in Victor's hand with doubtful eyes. 'Out of hundreds of thousands of different Beings, why did he take the most useless one from there?'
Victor could see the doubt on Hela's face, but he didn't care to explain. After all, his actions were beyond her understanding without him explaining very personal and secret things that only his Wives could know.
Wives who had several protections against various attempts at mental, physical, and Soul corruption, protection against manipulation, protection against destruction, etc.
This kind of secret couldn't be left to someone who didn't have the necessary defenses. 'Speaking of which, I must protect Hela too. This kind of knowledge is something that others should not know.'
He wasn't talking about the creature in his hand but about her knowledge of being able to open a portal to the dead galaxies.
"Hela, I suggest you protect your mind, body, and Soul. No one should know about the knowledge that you know."
"Don't worry, I won't say anything." She promised.
"You don't understand." Victor shook his head.
"I… Oh." Hela understood now what he meant. "Don't worry. I've known that from the beginning, which is why I've already made protections."
"… Hmm." Victor looked at Hela as if he was evaluating her.
Receiving the weight of Victor's gaze, Hela felt very tiny, but she didn't look away. She had complete confidence in her defenses.
"Can I do a test?"
"…Will it harm me?"
"Your safety is guaranteed."
"Then go ahead." Hela shrugged.
Victor nodded and started to do something…
Hela waited… She waited, but she felt nothing. It was as if he wasn't doing anything to her, and for a moment, she thought he really wasn't doing anything to her, but the serious look on Victor's face didn't let her doubt anything.
"I see, so that's why you hate Odin, huh."
Hela opened her eyes wide and summoned all her Power, and only when she did so did she feel Victor's intrusion. It was something so small, so imperceptible, that if it weren't for Victor saying something, she would never have noticed.
"What did you see?"
"Everything."
Hela opened her eyes wide. "H-How, I didn't feel anything."
"You think you protected yourself, but Beings like me can find hundreds of different ways to get information without even touching you."
"In this specific case, all I did was manipulate my Dream Energy in such a tiny way that for a moment, you lost consciousness, your defenses were lowered, and I was able to get inside your head."
"You didn't notice anything because, in this Reality, you never really slept."
"... A combination of a Dragon's Reality Manipulation, and the Power of Dreams..."
"Exactly."
"Don't worry. If you wish, I can erase my memories of what I discovered, but the point about protection still remains," Victor said calmly. For him, Hela's life experience didn't matter as much as the purpose of his demonstration.
"… Erase those memories, please. They are quite personal."
"Very well." Victor closed his eyes, searched his mind for the book of Hela's history, and erased it, thus losing information about those events.
… Victor lost this information with this action, but the same could not be said for the Beings that were inside him. Roxanne and Amara still remembered.
Victor, of course, would not let this happen. He would honor his words, especially to an ally who helped him willingly. If Hela had an ounce of ill will or distrust in her at this moment, Victor would not honor this agreement. He would keep these memories and use them against her if necessary.
But in this specific case, it was not necessary since she was an honorable woman of her word, and for Beings like that, the God of Martial Honor would honor his words.
"It is done."
Hela nodded and did not ask anything else or doubt Victor's words. If he said he did it, it was because he did it. He would not go back on his word since a Being like him had no need for that kind of pettiness.
"About protection, what should I do?" Hela asked humbly. She did not want to feel this discomfort again. It was fine with Victor since he had no ill will towards her, but what about other Beings? Beings that might want to harm her because she did not have enough protection?
She didn't want to risk it. She knew very well that the kind of knowledge she had was dangerous, not to mention that it was kind of an open secret among the higher echelons of the Supernatural World what kind of changes the Sector was going through. Gods stronger than her would come in the future, and she needed to protect herself from subtle attacks... Because in raw Power, she had her brothers and herself.
"Well, I have protections against..." Victor began a long list of protections, from simple things like bad luck to complex things like someone messing with Reality or even more dangerous things like Beings distorting the Law of Creation.
The last one made Hela sweat deeply. Just what kind of Being was capable of doing that? She couldn't imagine it. And she thought that Soul invasion was a danger! What Victor was listing made her realize how small she was thinking. There were several different ways for a Being to harm another Being without even having to raise a hand to do so.
"... I'm sorry to interrupt, but can you tell me something?"
"Yes?"
"What kind of protection do your Wives have?"
Victor smiled slightly. "The greatest of all protections… They have a fragment of my Soul inside of them."
Hela just stared at him in astonishment, both at the implications of what he had just said and at the madness of the act itself.
"…Of course, that's a secret."
At that moment, she realized that this was a trap! He had told her this specifically so that she would have no choice but to say 'Yes' to what he was offering.
"…I can erase those memories from my head."
"Unfortunately, even if you erase those memories from your brain, you will still remember them through your Soul."
In the grand scheme of things, flesh was just something used to house the Soul. The information of their entire existence was in the Soul, which was why the Vampire Progenitor's ability was so dangerous, and this detail was something that all the Gods knew, especially a Goddess like Hela.
Hela's lips twitched. 'Just how did he engrave those memories into my Soul?' She was sure that Soul memories didn't work like that. The Soul would remember, that part was correct, but only after some time... Right? At least it should be like that.
'I don't know!' Honestly, all the rules she thought she knew were being destroyed one by one by this man, she didn't doubt anything anymore! He could do anything, and that was it!
Victor waited patiently for Hela's decision, conveniently ignoring the minor breakdown she was having.
'... Not that she had a choice in the matter, but the thought was what matters.' Victor thought boredly.
"Please grant me the greatest protection possible." She said resignedly.
Victor smiled slightly. "Very well."
