Chapter 900: The big day. 3

"So, how's the move going?" Victor asked.

"Well... If it weren't for you taking our two main leaders and making them miss a few days..." Dorothy Adrasteia commented astutely.

Victor smiled wryly at Dorothy's astute response.

"Well, we needed to celebrate, didn't we?"

"Uhum... I know what your celebrating means." Dorothy commented naturally.

"Brutal Segs..." Alexa Adrasteia added in a monotone.

The Valkyries and Victor were speechless when they heard what the two said.

"Ignore them, Victor. They're just jealous." Anrietha commented in a motherly tone.

"Oyy! We are not!" Alexa and Dorothy felt offended.

"What are you doing here, Vic?" Anrietha asked.

Victor looked at the plump woman with brown hair and black eyes with a subtle look. Instead of answering her, he noticed something more important. "Heh, it looks like you've evolved a lot, Anrietha."

Anrietha's eyes twitched. "You noticed...? Of course, you noticed. It would be foolish not to think you could feel it."

"Of course I do; I'm the god of strength, you know?" Victor smiled. "But even without this divinity, I can say that you and the other Valkyries have evolved too... It seems that the last war was more significant than I thought."

"Of course we did. We got rid of our destined enemy!... Well, partially." Juliet grumbled.

The expressions of the six Valkyries present became ugly when they thought of Eleonor's attitude of using the natives as work tools and not killing them.

"This was a difficult decision for Eleonor too... Don't judge her too much." Victor spoke kindly. As the God of revenge, he understood everyone's feelings very well, but even without this divinity, he could sympathize with everyone here. After all, he would never forgive his enemies.

But, as God with so many contradictory concepts, it gave him a new perspective on things.

The God of BEGIN within him, who encompassed the life side, the God within him of Martial Honor and Nature, told him that he should view this situation with more neutral eyes.

While the other divinities, like revenge and murder, cried out for blood.

It ended up that this contradiction made his decision neutral, and because of that, he let those involved make the decision, it's just presenting the reality to both.

To be honest, he was trying to control himself a little so as not to let his divinities make decisions for him, but this was proving to be more difficult than expected.

As the God of nature, life, home, family, and newly acquired creation, he wanted to preserve life, but as the God of murder, revenge, negativity, and blood, he also leaned more toward death.

The divinities of war, strength, yandere, and beauty were more 'neutral' towards this whole contradiction.

'I truly am a god of chaos.' Victor shook his head internally. He had literally become a walking contradiction.

"I know... I understand that it was difficult for her... I really understand... But it's hard to accept." Juliet spoke with a look of discomfort on her face.

It was difficult to simply let the enemies they had fought against all their lives go unpunished like that. How much sacrifice was necessary for this victory? How many members of the Adrasteia Clan were lost to these monsters?The entire main lineage of the Adrasteia Clan was practically exterminated, with Rose and Eleonor being the last of the main lineage.

And all of this was because of those monsters!

Julietas' thoughts were clearly shared with the other Valkyries, not just the Valkyries; practically everyone related to the Adrasteia Clan didn't like this decision very much.

Even Eleonor herself and Rose didn't like it very much. But as leaders, instead of seeing this with vengeful eyes, they tried to see it with beneficent eyes, so they enslaved all the natives.

It was a dire fate but much better than death; after all, in death, everything was over, and even as slaves, they could have a chance in the distant future to 'redeem' themselves, so to speak.

Although that was a very unlikely probability, after all, unlike humans who forget things done to them easily, long-lived races are not that stupid; they are quite spiteful about grudges.

Victor didn't think much about it. To others, slavery may seem like a bad thing, but who is he? He is a demon of tyranny. He enslaved all the demons under his rule, and he did the same to the Greek and Egyptian pantheon.

History is written by the strong, and this fact will never change no matter what time or world they are in.

Another reason he was not too worried was for his own wife, Eleonor Adrasteia. She was an honorable warrior and would be fair even if this situation left a bad taste in her mouth.

Victor's Martial Honor resonated deeply with beings like Rose, Eleonor, Scathach, and Jeanne. They were warriors, not monsters, and they would not raise their swords to the innocent and powerless... But that would be different if those same innocents took up weapons and decided to attack them.

"Regardless of Eleonor and Rose's decision, as subordinates, you must trust your leader... Has she ever failed you?" Victor's question went unanswered when everyone fell silent.

"Trust my wives a little more. They don't do things by halves. They never do," Victor smiled slightly.

Seeing Eleonor and Rose being talked about like that, a feeling of envy grew a little in the Valkyries, but they decided not to focus on that and nodded their heads in agreement with Victor.

Leaving that story aside for a bit, Victor changed the subject to lighten the mood. "...You guys must not know my new addition, right?"

Victor pointed at Metis.

Seeing the tall and imposing dragoness with a neutral gaze looking at them, the girls felt a little uncomfortable.

"You know Metis, a dragon goddess, and my daughter. She is a goddess of good advice, planning, cunning, and wisdom. Cunning and wisdom are their greatest divinities."

Victor's introduction not only surprised the Valkyries but Metis herself. She never expected that he would introduce her as his daughter.

A fact that left her with mixed feelings of shame and happiness.

"Nice to meet you in person, Metis," Anrietha spoke.

"Hmm." Metis nodded. "Nice to meet you, too."

Feeling the atmosphere was a little tense for some reason, Victor spoke with a smile: "You guys seem to know her."

"Well... Yes. We know her... Lady Eleonor and Rose told us about her." Judy said.

"I see... I understand now... Did they talk about who she was before?"

"Yes.. Metis, ancient Titan goddess wife of Zeus." Dorothy spoke.

"Ex-wife," Metis added with a dissatisfied growl coming from both her new side and her old side. Only on those occasions did the two sides of her come into sync. historical

"Right.. Ex-wife." Dorothy spoke with a tight smile.

Even though Metis wasn't a combatant, she was still a true dragon, and feeling pressure from a dragon wasn't healthy for them.

In order not to make the situation even stranger, Victor decided to change the subject. "I came here today for a reason... It's to give you gifts."

"... Gifts?" It is worth mentioning that these words made everyone forget any kind of feelings regarding the previous matter. After all, which woman doesn't like gifts?

...

Victor looked at six women with ripped abs wearing gym clothes and twirling weapons he gave as gifts.

'Hmm... that's a good sight.' He appreciates it, but without any extra feelings, it was always gratifying to see female warriors who were capable in their craft.

Judy, the Valkyrie with long blue hair and brown eyes, spun the two black Deagles she received from Victor and fired toward the target.

BOOOOOM, BOOOOOOOM.

The training dummy made from monster materials was completely annihilated along with the wall behind.

"...Holy...This power." She commented in disbelief.

"Be careful with the penetration," Victor commented, while with a wave of his hand, the entire place was repaired again.

Nero raised his eyebrow when she saw that the power was similar to her weapon.

"Father, did you give her weapons similar to mine?" Nero asked.

"Yes, it is similar, but at the same time different... After all, it is a personalized weapon."

"...Did you give each of them a personalized weapon?" Nero was more specific in her question.

"Of course, yes, after all, they are my old companions. Even if it was just for a few battles. Not to mention that they are also Eleonor and Rose's main strengths, so they need to stay strong." It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Victor trusted the Valkyries a lot, so such treatment was normal on his part.

Dorothy, the blonde-haired, golden-eyed Valkyrie, grabbed both of her swords, and with incredible speed, she began to attack the air, only to realize that her blade was so sharp that if she put enough power into it, she could throw slashes of power with the sword.

"This is incredible.." Dorothy said in awe. The two swords easily surpassed all the swords she had ever had before.

"These weapons are the highest level artifacts..." She muttered in disbelief as she looked at the swords with black colors and violet details, which they all agreed on.

"Of course, yes, after all, it was created by Hephaestus and I using my own fire."

The girls were even more incredulous when they heard this. They just realized that these artifacts were more valuable than they thought.

"... Is it okay for us to accept this?" Anrietha asked, feeling uncomfortable accepting such an expensive artifact.

"It's okay. I made it especially for you." Victor responded with a bright smile that made the surrounding girls look at him mesmerized. Even Metis, Ophis, and Nero were no exception.

Noticing the girls' state, Victor's smile turned into a wry smile, and he asked in a way that woke them up from their stupor.

"So, did you like it?"

"...Y-Yes!" Dorothy replied.

"I love it!" Juliet spoke.

"The best gift!" Judy spoke

"We love them!" They all spoke in unison as if they wanted to express their gratitude.

"Good. Test the weapons, and then tell me if you want to change anything." Victor said.

Alexa looked at her spear, which had the same details as the other Valkyries' weapons, and then looked at Victor with subtle eyes. For a warrior like her, such a gift could be considered a marriage proposal, but she knew she was exaggerating, and Victor did that just to make them stronger... And that's what touched her, and everyone's, heart... That kindness, along with the strength capable of protecting everything.

She snuck up on Anrietha who was testing her shield, greatsword, and new staff.

"Anrietha..."

"What?" The woman looked at Alexa.

"Is that Solomon plan still standing?"

Anrietha opened her mouth to say something that looked like a joke, but when she saw Alexa's unusually serious look, she sighed and then subtly looked at Victor, who was watching them train as if they were looking for something to improve.

"Hmm, Martha, you are using the Halberd a little wrong. Come here, let me teach you something.

"...Eh?" The brown-haired Valkyrie looked at Victor in disbelief. She wasn't trying to belittle him or anything, but she was a master of halberds. Just as she was about to deny Victor's request, she realized who was speaking.

The man who was the greatest genius of the millennium, the man who became a god even if he was a mortal.

Any advice from him could be useful, so she walked up to him and handed him the Halberd. The girls stopped practicing with their new weapons and looked curiously at Victor.

"Your form itself is not incorrect; forgive me for my earlier word choices."

Martha blushed a little with embarrassment when she realized why he said that. "No need to apologize, I was just surprised." She responded quickly, trying to cut through any misunderstanding.

Victor nodded and smiled, indicating that there was no problem, and returned to his lesson: "The problem you are making is that you are putting too much force into this weapon... Something that is not necessary since this is a weapon that grows with and responds to the user. I created her specifically for you, so see her as an extension of yourself."

Victor took the Halberd and positioned himself, looking at the sky. "So, as you're moving your arm, try to do it naturally, like this..."

Victor casually swung his arm towards the clouds, and for a few seconds, nothing happened until all the clouds in a straight line were cut in half.

"...Eh?" Martha forgot to breathe when she saw such absurdity. It even seemed like she was seeing Rose using her martial arts.

"The blade is VERY sharp, too, so a lot of effort isn't necessary, " he added, handing the Halberd to Martha. "You try."

Martha nervously took the Halberd and tried to apply Victor's advice.

"Relax... You are very tense." A calming aura spread from Victor's body, an aura like nature and home.

Even though she was outside, Martha felt like she was at home relaxing on her bed; it was very comfortable...

Entirely automatically, she picked up the Halberd, and with a natural gesture as if she had lazily raised her hand to grab the television remote to make herself even more comfortable, she swung the Halberd.

Just like Victor, nothing happened for a moment until... Martha's casual attack cut everything in a straight line.

"Holy.." The Valkyries were incredulous at such a demonstration.

It's one thing for Victor to do this; after all, he's abnormal and ridiculously strong, but it's another thing for Martha to do this. So, the results had a much stronger effect on her.

"Good. Very good... Just try to aim for something sturdier next time." Victor laughed gently.

Martha blushed a little with embarrassment, but her feeling of excitement and happiness could not be hidden.

Anrietha, who was watching all of this, just looked at Alexa next. "Yes, perhaps we should put the plan into practice."

"...We need help from Rose and Eleonor. I heard that the Snow, Fulger, and Scarlet clans are forming a united front. We need to support our leader, too," Alexa said seriously.

"Yes, everything is for the sake of our leader. We were definitely not doing this because he is a man who makes me wet." Anrietha nodded seriously as well.

Alexa almost lost her balance at the nonsense she heard from Anrietha, although this 'bullshit' wasn't something she could deny either.
