Chapter 1092: The Empire's Most Ambitious Project Begins
Chapter 1092: The Empire's Most Ambitious Project Begins
Finishing his preparations, Victor turned his gaze to the people in the room who were gathered in a circle, talking to each other and exchanging ideas.
Feeling Victor's gaze, Violet spoke: "I believe that after understanding the entire project, you should have an estimate of the time needed for the project to be completed."
"..." A silence fell over the room.
Assuming the role of leader, Natalia spoke: "Honestly, I predict it will take 80 years for this to be completed."
"...80 years?" Violet raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, we need to refine the plan, inscribe the Runes, erect the structures on the planets to make a large shroud, not to mention the Energy needed to make it all work." The final part of Natalia's speech was said with words that would hint at the Empire's 'Dragon Heart, an Energy core of practically infinite capacity.
Understanding what Natalia was saying, Violet shook her head. "That item wasn't made to release a large amount of Energy needed for this plan, not to mention that the plan is to make Victor and Jeanne into batteries so that time will speed up. When we advance to a satisfactory time, we will immediately stop."
In other words, it was a one-time action, not perpetual, so a Power Generator wasn't necessary. If they used a Power Generator, Victor would need to create another 'Dragon Heart' with a greater Power output, and they would need to redo the entire Energy System of The Empire so that the two Hearts wouldn't clash. After all, they would have different purposes and outputs.
"That's incorrect." Victor floated towards the group while keeping 3 scrolls floating in his hand. "That item can be upgraded. I made it so that its upgrade would affect the entire system connected to it, but without harming the system itself."
"..." The Wives present opened their eyes wide.
Victor gave a small smile, but all the Wives present knew that he was showing a smug smile. He really liked to surprise them.
"Honestly, I have told myself many times not to be surprised by what you do, but you always find ways to make it happen." Scathach sighed.
She'd seen the 'Dragon Heart', so she knew the amount of Energy stored and produced in the Heart was absurd. Even with her senses, she could not see 'how much' Energy that Heart had. She felt as if she was on the beach looking at the
immense ocean.
And he was saying that this ocean could still be upgraded? The very notion of it was ridiculous.
"But as my Empress said, upgrading this item will not be necessary now." Victor floated the scroll he'd created to Scathach and Dun Scaith.
The two of them took the scrolls and opened it. The moment Dun Scaith opened the scroll she'd grabbed, she felt a massive headache. The amount of information she absorbed in just a few seconds of exposure caused her Divine brain to fry. If she were Human, she would have been completely disintegrated from existence. That was the level of Power that these Runes had when they were written by a Master of the craft, especially a Master who was proficient in 3 different Runic Scripts(Languages).
Unlike her former teacher, Scathach could absorb the scrolls' contents easily. One advantage of being a Dragon Goddess was that her physical body was 'real' and not something close to a Divine Spirit like normal Gods. Therefore, she had the advantages of her physical body's Bloodline, and as a Blood Dragon, she had the best possible Bloodline.
"Some paragraphs are incorrect, Darling." Scathach pointed out.
"That's because the scrolls will only make sense if all three are together. I purposely made it in three different parts."
"...Oh, I see what you mean now" Scathach took the scroll in her teacher's hand and threw it into the air. When the three scrolls were opened, a new hologram showing all the original content was made.
"Ugh. Those who weren't Dragon Gods immediately felt their brains fry, just like Dun Scaith.
"I see, I see..."
"What do you think?"
"Yes, it's possible, but this Standard Runic Script can still be updated."
Victor smiled. "Yeah."
In terms of Runecrafting, relating to Martial Arts terminology, if Victor was a Rune Master, Scathach was a Grandmaster in the same, but that only applied to the Standard Runic Script, not the Dragon Runic Script. ℞ÅℕŐ฿Ëş
Her proficiency with the Standard Runic Script was because she had trained in it for years, and when she'd reached the rank she had now, she was able to improve even more, and her proficiency with the Dragon Runic Script was because her own Bloodline gave her a boost in learning it, and she was able to completely refine these Runes.
Meanwhile, Victor was a Master in the Standard Runic Script, a Grandmaster in the
Draconic Script, since as the Progenitor of The Blood Dragons, this knowledge came instinctively to him, and he was a Master in the Eldritch Runic Script.
Just like his Dragon Bloodline, these Eldritch Runes came naturally to him. It could be said that Victor had an unfair advantage due to his Race.
Perhaps the only one with a Grandmaster Level in the Eldritch Runic Script was his Wife, Azathoth.
"... My Head... This text could be updated even more than usual to improve consistency... Although, there are Draconic tongues and other strange Runes that I don't understand." Dun Scaith spoke as she massaged her forehead.
Victor laughed inwardly. 'As expected, she noticed, huh!
If Victor was a Master of Standard Runes, and Scathach was a Grandmaster of Standard Runes, then Dun Scaith was a level above Scathach.
Just as Scathach had said, her teacher was a 'monster' in her craft, just as Victor was a monster in combat.
"..." Violet looked at Victor with a neutral gaze and nodded towards Dun Scaith.
A gesture that Victor completely understood. Violet was basically saying: "What are you doing, Darling? Why haven't you procreated with her yet?' You're going to leave such immense talent without proper nourishment!?"
Victor felt his face twitch slightly. Ever since Violet became Empress, she had begun to look at those women who weren't her Wives with an appraising gaze like a soccer coach who was scouting out potential members to add to the team.
Albedo, Kali, Hela, and Dun Scaith were members Violet constantly pointed out to him to make a move on. They needed to be brought into the Family immediately so that their talent could flourish and The Empire would grow stronger.
Victor ignored his Wife and continued. "Come here, Scaith."
"...What?"
Violet's eyes shone with excitement, and he felt immense approval coming from his
Empress.
'Calm down! Damn it, woman, you're too thirsty!' Victor thought, but he didn't convey the thought or express it on his face.
As Scaith walked towards Victor, Violet thought about the other monster Scathach had compared to Victor: 'Merlin... Maybe I should ask a Sex Goddess to gender-bend
him...?'
'No, that won't work. My Husband won't touch men; he doesn't have strange tastes like those other Gods... Hmm, maybe I could ask Jeanne's brother for help. Merlin could suffer a tragic accident, and he could reincarnate as one of our female clones, but without the memories of his past life. but with the same potential... The Empress
began to plan how to bring more talents into the Family.
'If he was a man in his past life, it doesn't matter, right? After all, he died, and became
a woman, and has no memories of his past life, hehehe~"
Being a subordinate was nice and all, but to have an eternal bond, these exceptional talents must enter the Family as future Sisters, or Daughters!
"Fufufufu..." Violet smiled a little. "That might work'
Scathach, Jeanne, Aphrodite, and Victor raised their eyebrows when they saw Violet's
smile.
'She's planning something! Scathach thought.
'She's definitely planning something... Can I help her?' Aphrodite thought.
'Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Jeanne thought.
When Dun Scaith got close to Victor, he raised his huge hand and placed it above her
head, and a violet aura completely covered Dun Scaith.
"... My headache is going away..."
"Since your opinion is important to review the text I wrote and to modify it, I reinforced your mind. But be careful, even with my reinforcement, your mind is not strong enough to handle this kind of information."
"... Are you saying I'm incapable?" Dun Scaith felt her pride being challenged. Victor just gave a neutral smile and said: "You're not incapable. Your body is, your Bloodline is, and some knowledge simply cannot be learned due to the limitations of
the Soul."
"A God's Soul is not as strong as you think it is, especially a normal God's." For all intents and purposes, Dun Scaith was not a normal God, and her Soul was much stronger than most naturally born Gods, and even Primordial ones, but... She was still not as strong as a Dragon God, especially a Dragon God from Victor's Bloodline that was imbued with the Essence of an Outer God. This type of Bloodline granted an extra resistance to things that distorted the mind.
Not to mention that all of his Wives were married to him through Soul Marriage, giving them a part of Victor's Soul that protected them from outside interference, providing them with complete immunity to mental and Soul attacks.
"Are you saying that a Dragon God is better than a normal God?" "Isn't that obvious?" Victor smiled with evident pride.
"Then I ask that you transform me into a Dragon God." She asked humbly. She would
not let her body hinder her thirst for knowledge.
"That is impossible. Only my Wives can share my Bloodline. Go back to your work. I recommend only 4 hours of reading my text." Victor then became extremely serious. "And for the love of God, do not try to understand the unknown characters of my
Scripts." "...You will go mad."
"." The brown-haired woman just stared at Victor with an intensity greater than
normal, an intensity that was replicated by Albedo herself, who was listening to the conversation.
Victor sighed internally when he saw her turn around and go back to Scathach. 'She
will definitely try to understand them, won't she? The same applies to that stupid Witch over there! He could already see it happening.
