Updated from nov𝒆lbIn.(c)omAt this point, being linked with various planets and World Trees, it was practically impossible for him to run out of Energy.
He didn't just have Samar and Nightingale as his linked World Trees, but Earth itself as well. He was basically the owner of these three planets.
Although, there was a stark difference between all three. Only Roxane and Amara were deeply linked with Victor, while the other World Trees only had a superficial connection. However, it was enough to give him a lot of Energy.
Another event was also worthy of attention, though this event was not widely publicized as with what happened in Kaguya's case. After all, it was a recent event that happened a few days ago. Evie Moriarty couldn't handle her personal problem, and she ended up summoning The Demon King.
... Just as Victor expected.
...
Appearing in Arcane, which seemed even more destroyed than the last time he saw it, Victor displayed a small smile in front of Evie's shocked gaze.
"... You... Who are you?"
"Have you forgotten the appearance of your beloved Disciple, Master~?"
Evie shuddered at Victor's changed appearance. He still looked the same as before, but his overall atmosphere was much more 'ancient'. He now had the air of a 'Father'.
... An appearance that directly entered Evie's Strike Zone, but the woman was digressing. Pretending to cough a little, she asked,
"How long has it been for you?"
"Oh? As expected, you figured it out, huh."
"It's obvious. I negotiated directly with Diablo, so I know how Hell distorts Time compared to other Dimensions."
"Well, that's true..." Victor smiled without correcting the misunderstanding.
"So? How long has it been?"
"A short time." Victor replied without giving too many details, something Evie clearly understood.
"... I see... Can we go inside please?"
Victor's smile widened, a smile that made Evie shudder with its hidden meanings. After all, there was a reason why she was being so 'obedient' right now... The situation of her Kingdom was just that bad.
"Of course." Victor said, and then entered the castle... But he wasn't alone, three little girls walked beside him, each of them 120 cm tall.
A red-haired girl with red Horns, a blonde-haired girl with golden Horns, and a white-haired girl with violet Horns. Three little girls who were spitting images of Violet, Sasha, and Ruby.
Evie only just noticed them now. "... Who are..." She stopped speaking when she saw the Horns on the girls' heads. It was obvious they were just wearing these Horns.
"Oh? They're my Daughters~. Come, I'll introduce them when we're in a more private place."
"... Right." Evie's brain kind of froze with this information, and she just responded unconsciously while thinking about something.
'Daughters... DAUGHTERS!? HOW? Isn't he a Dragon? A Dragon's gestation period can take thousands of years! The shortest time recorded in history, something that was directly recorded from a female Dragon was 50,000 years! How does this man have Daughters already?! Just how much Time has passed in Hell?!' Evie's head was pounding with this information, and its implications.
For the curious,
In total, 2000 years have passed in Victor's Inner World, a duration that seems long to some people, but in reality, for Dragons like him, it is very small. The proof of this is that even after 2000 years, only a few of his Wives have successfully had children.
The reason for this was simple. Despite the childbearing process having been accelerated greatly due to him being a Progenitor and having countless Divinities for that purpose, he is still a Dragon, and not just any Dragon. He is a Dragon of the Highest Order and Power. The same can be applied to his Wives, which translated to only one thing.
The gestation period for a True Dragon is 1000 years... It can vary between longer and shorter depending on the Mother's Power... At least that's a fact for Victor's children as a Progenitor.
Velnorah theorized that if it were another normal True Dragon male, the period would be even longer.
Another thing they discovered in this long period of time was that... It was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to comprehend a Concept and Evolve one's Divinity.
Even for monstrous geniuses like Victor, it took years for him to progress a paltry 3% in his Divinity of Negativity and 20% in his Divinity of Beginnings. At the very least, his Minor Divinities were completely Mastered. The same could be said of his Major Divinities. Only Negativity and Beginnings were giving him trouble, which was normal considering they are the Highest-Ranking Divinities.
Currently, Victor has 17 Divinities, comprising 5 Major Divinities, and 12 Minor Divinities. In total, he had completely Mastered 15 Divinities. To do all of this in a span of 2000 years was insanity even by God standards. This just proved how talented he is.
Speaking of Divinities, these are his current Divinities.
Major Divinities: <War>, Mastered, <Destruction>, Mastered, <Blood>, Mastered, <Negativity>, Beginner, <Beginnings>, Intermediate.
Each Mastered Major Divinity has the possibility of going beyond and allowing Victor to become a Primordial but requirements needed to be met, requirements that varied from Divinity to Divinity. Minor Divinities: <Assassination>, <Strength>, <Beauty>, <Revenge>, <Martial Honor>, <Home>, <Family>, <Nature>, <Yandere>, <Creation>, <Dream>, and <Madness>, all of which have been Mastered.
Of course, there are unlisted Divinities that fall under the scope of his Main Divinities of <Beginnings> and <Negativity>.
For example, The Divinity of <Beginnings> encompassed all categories of Divinities related to the Creation of Life, or Life itself. Therefore, these included Fertility, Life, Love, Reproduction, Sex, etc. Everything related was within the parameters of this Divinity.
The same applied to Negativity, except that this Divinity encompassed ALL Divinities that are Energized by the Negative Side.
This was why the two Divinities were giving Victor so much trouble. They are not isolated Divinities that deal with a specific subject of Creation. They are Divinities that deal with various scopes of Creation, and fully understanding them can take Eons. The simple fact that he went from someone with no experience in the Divinity of Negativity to entering the Domain of a Beginner was a surprising fact in itself.
2000 years may have passed in Victor's Inner World, but for them personally, it felt like only 2 years had passed. They completely underestimated how difficult it was to gain more Power while already being at such a High Level, not to mention the micro-management required to take care of the pregnant Wives.
The reason Victor spent an extra millennium in his Personal World was precisely because of the long gestation period of his Wives.
As a hyper-concerned Father, he would NEVER let his Wives exert themselves, train, or do anything while pregnant. Which meant that the Wives who became pregnant had been unavailable for a millennium, only able to do basic things like administrative work, with some being unavailable for even longer.
This time was even more frustrating for Scathach and Haruna, who were very active women and liked to train and get stronger. As soon as they both had their Daughters, they vowed not to get pregnant until Victor had a solution to shorten the gestation period.
After all, they were among the women who's Daughters took the longest to gestate, taking a total of 1670 years for their Daughters to be born.
The second longest gestation period was for the Goddesses Aphrodite, Persephone, Metis, Nyx, Gaia, and Hestia, who lasted 1900 years, followed closely by Velnorah, at 1950 years.
The women who took the longest to have children were... Anna and Jeanne, totaling 1990 years.
Did this mean that the longer the gestation period of the woman, the more talented their Daughter would be?
This statement is false.
The proof of this was Victor's Daughter with Violet who was born 1000 years ago and was very talented.
The reason the gestation period took so long was the Conceptual Level of Divinity. In other words, the longer the child took to be born, the higher the chance that the child would be born with the Highest-Level Divine Concept.
The proof of this was Anna and Victor's Daughter who was born with the Divinity of Reality at its Highest Level, and Victor and Jeanne's Daughter who acquired the Divinity of Energy at its Highest Level... Not to mention that these Divinities were not linked to this Cosmos, a peculiarity that all of Victor's Daughters were born with... And this was passed to the Mothers when they were born as well.
It can be said that due to carrying their Daughters for so long in the womb, they also adapted to Victor's Nightmare Form Energy, thus giving them limitless Conceptual Divinities.
This peculiarity was also something of Victor's.
By merging his Nightmare Form Energy with his Divinities, his Divinities acquired Aspects outside of this Cosmos.
And if he were to fully merge them, mixing the two different Energies into one Energy, all of his Mastered Divinities would go to the next level without him needing to become a part of Creation like a Primordial Being.
The simple reason Victor did not 'Transcend' this pre-established limit was to not become a Primordial Being of this Creation. The other reason was that if he did, the natural 'protection' that his body had would break, and his existence could no longer be hidden from Creation.
All the Primordials would immediately sense that he was an Outer God outside of this Creation, and would either eliminate or imprison him.
Azathoth said that he was very lucky that he was seen by the Primordials when he evolved into a God, and that his Outer God Form was mistaken for his 'Chaotic' Power. Fortunately, at his current level, even the Primordials could not peek into his Soul.
That was the reason Victor 'sealed' most of his Daughters' Powers too. It pained him to do so, but it was necessary.
They were too powerful for their own good, with examples being his Daughters with Anna and Jeanne, two little girls who could break Creation.
Jeanne's Daughter had the potential to directly interfere with the Primordials' Domain. She could simply just wish for Sector X to no longer receive Energy from Creation, and voilà, an entire Sector turned into cosmic dust. After all, without Energy, nothing can exist.
Anna's Daughter could make 'Reality' something very fragile. She literally embodied the Concept: "Reality can be whatever I want."
These two little girls, along with Yog and the Daughters of the Goddesses, especially Aphrodite's, were little girls that Victor had to keep a constant eye on or some chaos could happen.
But of course, they were just the extremes of the extremes. The other little girls were just as troublesome as these three mentioned. Violet's Daughter, for example, was born with a terrible temperament. She was a complete mixture of Victor and Violet, elevated to the Highest Order.
From other people's point of view, she could be described as a 'bad' little girl.
Of course, this 'bad' side had specific individuals who were exempt from its scope, such as her beloved Father, her Mother, and her Family... But everyone else was fair game. Even allies were not spared. They were only ignored because she didn't want to disappoint her Father, but extras didn't matter, right? Especially non-allies, and those who tried to harm her Father.
It was worth noting that Lily liked her very much, and was even willing to teach her 'torture' techniques.
She was a sadistic, evil, and twisted little girl taken to the extreme, but at the same time possessive, loving, and gentle... Though, only with the Family.
This personality didn't worry Victor and Violet at all. In fact, they were happy that she was born as a combination of the two.
Of course, this situation would not remain for long. Just as Scathach did with him in the past, he would help them understand their Powers so that they slowly gained control over their Powers.
But that's a story for the future. Although some of the girls were over 1 millennium old, they were essentially still children. Unlike Vampires, a Dragon's childhood was much longer, but this only applied to physical maturity. Mentally, they were like teenagers, some smarter, having the mentality of an adult.
After all, Victor would not let his Daughters remain 'innocent' for a millennia. They needed to mature. Thanks to this intervention, even though they were children, they were much smarter than normal True Dragon children.
If Victor let the girls grow up normally, it would take more than 3 millennia for them to reach the mental age of a teenager, and 10 millennia for them to become completely adult in mind, and he wouldn't allow this weakness for so long.
As soon as some of them reached 500 years, he immediately began to teach them personally about the Supernatural World outside of their Personal World.
Mental state aside, according to the research of Velnorah, Ruby, and Aline, the physical period of a True Dragon Child is 2000 years, reaching their teens at 5000 years, and finally adulthood at 10,000.
One thing they theorized was that... This effect was similar to that of Noble Vampires, that is, they would accumulate. Therefore, theoretically, if one of Victor's Daughters trained for 2000 years, when her body reached her teenage phase, a BOOOM of Power would occur, thus multiplying her Power based on the results of her training.
According to Ruby, this was a completely broken Zenkai Boost that depended on the girls' training. Yes, Victor's Daughters were officially Beings born with a silver spoon. They just didn't have infinite wealth with their Father and some Mothers being able to Create anything, they also had the best teachers and ridiculous potential.
To prevent an 'arrogant young master' from being born among his children, Siena, Lacus, Ruby, Pepper, Leona, and several other Mothers had been disciplining the girls to the best of their abilities, an effort that left Scathach slightly surprised. She never thought she would see her Daughters actively engaging in a common effort except for making a scarlett quartet of sisters attempting to suck the life out of Victor's member.
The Scarlett sisters promptly responded to their Mother:
"Seeing a young master is fun in the media because it's cringe, and you can enjoy the reactions and subsequent face slapping they'll receive from the protagonist. But having my own children with that peculiarity? Hell NO!" Ruby spoke.
"Umu, Umu." Pepper nodded.
"That's a big NO." Lacus said as Siena nodded along with Pepper.
