Chapter 973: Play with gods.
"Cheers!" Violet, Haruna, Amaterasu, and Hela spoke simultaneously as they clinked their glasses together.
"Fufufufu, I never expected it would be so easy to deceive the gods, it's quite an exhilarating experience," Violet commented after taking a sip of wine.
"In defense of the gods, the scheme was so well concealed that few could have noticed," Amaterasu spoke as she sat down.
They were currently in a room in Victor's personal castle, located in the ancient Egyptian pantheon. Now renamed by Victor as Elvenorah, the Eternal Utopia.
"How will they know they've been deceived if not even a hint of it was given to them?" Haruna spoke, smiling like a fox, back to her appearance as a ten-tailed fox.
"No one knew of our involvement in the Norse pantheon, thanks to Nyx's concealment, and the closed state of the pantheon. The only people who know about it are Hela herself... And probably the Primordials. But they don't care enough to interfere," Haruna commented.
"Exactly, it pains me to admit, but Nyx is the MVP of this little scheme having succeeded," Violet displayed a small smile. Nyx's concealment allowed everyone to do several things under the radar that made this outcome possible.
They not only gained several races that were in the Norse pantheon as their servants, but also gained two essences that Victor wanted, and another competent ally.
Yes, even though She helped because of the benefits promised to her in the form of a large piece of land in Elvenorah, a place effectively well protected where she could have her peace back, and finally feel the sun.
She also gained various divine resources from Victor himself, as well as the resources she excavated from the Norse pantheon. Despite the pain of not being able to get the dwarves and the elves, she is still quite satisfied with this outcome.
And even though she wasn't as experienced in doing things like the dwarves, or had skilled artisans like the elves, she could still buy those services for a cheaper price than the dwarves used to charge her in the past, all because she's an ally of Victor.
Honestly, the benefits of aligning with Victor were so many that she would be stupid to refuse, especially after she saw that 'other' Victor who could be described as Victor's future.
The Emperor's future was promising, and she definitely wanted to be around... But that's a plan for the future, she wants to spend at least 50 years doing nothing, just enjoying the dying screams of Odin's family, and who knows? Occasionally, she might even provoke the other gods of Asgard that she kidnapped.
Another reason she received such a large area to make her home is precisely that, she not only had her private soldiers, but also the Norse gods she subdued in the war.
She feels eager when she thinks about doing various malevolent things with these gods, even though they didn't directly affect her suffering like Odin's family and her father. She will still do things to them, after all, she is a goddess, and the specialty of gods is being petty, and she was no different.
Even if she didn't have a direct relationship with her aggressors, they still laughed at her, still scorned her, and on top of that, they called her various names that she still remembers to this day.
So, Yes, the goddess will have quite a bit of fun with these lords and ladies; she had a long list of crap she needed to vent.
Her eyes returned to the city in the distance that could be seen from the castle window.
'Come to think of it, this place is a mix of four different mythologies, the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Shintoists, and now the Norse. It's a great blend of beings with different thoughts... I wonder how the city is.' Hela felt quite curious now.
"Yes, it is... Because of that, she's being spoiled now..." Amaterasu looked away and glanced at Victor, who was holding Nyx in his lap, pampering her.
It's worth noting that she's very jealous of the satisfied expression on the goddess's face, but she didn't comment on it because she really worked hard these past two months.
But even though she had worked so hard, Amaterasu was still jealous because the 'reward' Nyx received was something no one else here received; she just wasn't taken care of in bed by Victor, as it happened in her dreams.
All thanks to Victor's new dreamwalker ability he acquired by consuming the essence of dreams. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Amaterasu doesn't know what kind of effects the essence of madness caused in Victor, but she doesn't care about that now, she wants the same treatment as Nyx! Her body demands it!
"Well, just ignore that for now, let her have her reward," Violet spoke. "For now, let's enjoy the fact that all of Darling's plans have succeeded and enjoy this peace."
It's not like Violet didn't want the same treatment as Nyx, but she knew she would get that treatment eventually; after all, her Darling would ensure that for her.
In fact, she would ensure that treatment herself later; after all, she is his empress, it is her right to demand affection from her husband and be spoiled by him.
"Now that things are heading in a good direction, I think it's time to assume the position of the first royal wife..." Violet's eyes gleamed with cunning as she touched her stomach.
"I should involve Sasha and Ruby in this too; after all, if they don't have it, they'll spend eternity pointing out that fact." She knew her friends very well to understand how petty and annoying they can be when they want to.
"You're right... Enjoying the peace is essential," Amaterasu spoke.
"And so, Hela. Have you considered my offer?"
Hela, who was drinking the wine, paused for a few seconds when she heard Violet's voice and looked at the dragoness. "... Aren't you supposed to be a jealous empress or something? Why are you offering this to me..." Her cheeks slightly flushed, and this wasn't an alcohol-induced reaction; even though this wine was strong enough to knock out a goddess, she didn't drink much to intoxicate herself.
"Huh? Are you mistaking me for Hera or something?" Violet laughed. She won't lie; if this had happened before, she would have been very annoyed by this development, but not now, not when everything was going well, and they had become much stronger thanks to the numerous competent people by their side.
Everything they have now was not only achieved through Victor's efforts but also through the efforts of many competent women. If it weren't for Aphrodite's connections, Scathach's training, Ruby, Sasha, and her own decision to allow all of this, and several other competent women who support her husband day and night like Helena and the demon wives.
This faction wouldn't have grown to what it is now. Victor became what he is by contacting her, Ruby, Sasha; later on, he became the warrior he is by contacting Scathach. He became an even more abnormal existence when he met Roxanne and subsequently became a true dragon by making a contract with Zaladrac, the lazy true dragon who values him greatly.
If it weren't for the numerous influential women, many things wouldn't have happened to culminate in the faction they have now. Therefore, no, Violet has no problem offering these things to competent women.
And Hela falls into this category of competent women by a long margin. Violet feels that Hela's influence would be very positive in their group, which is why she made the 'invitation'.
Long ago, she stopped leaving things to chance or for Victor to develop. She is his empress, the woman who will always be by his side; it's up to her to help her husband as much as she can, and this sentiment is shared by all the wives.
... This has nothing to do with the fact that she internally wishes to see Hela's mature and cold facade broken by Victor in bed or something... She definitely wasn't as perverted as Natashia or her mother.
"You are a competent woman, and I foresee that your influence will greatly benefit our group. Because of that, I am inviting you."
Hela remained silent; Violet's words didn't strike her as odd. After all, she is a goddess, and primarily a Norse one. Even if she hadn't touched anyone yet because of her being... Well, She. She isn't uncomfortable with this topic; after all, she has lived for thousands of years, she knows how these things work.
And to be honest, she kind of wished...
"Haah~. D-Darling, not here, let me rest..." Nyx grumbled as Victor stroked her long hair.
Okay, she definitely wanted what Nyx was receiving, but! She's not desperate for it! She wants her peace first and to enjoy Odin's revenge... At least, that's what she justified.
Hela didn't want to admit that she was afraid to take a step into the unknown after all, she had no experience in the matter.
"Stop overthinking it, Hela. Sometimes, just taking a leap of faith is what matters in the end," Haruna spoke, completely understanding Hela's inhibitions.
Hela remained silent but didn't say anything more and just silently drank her wine.
