Chapter 554: The Arrogance of the Gods.

Walking through the streets of the city he was born in, Victor felt strange.

The reason? The clear lack of people. Even though it was still morning, there should have been more people on the street, but the street was practically deserted.

Everyone is scared, huh. He looked at the few humans who were still outside, but despite this country being at peace, the news worried everyone.

The government tried its best to cover the news, but it was impossible to hide it completely when two or more countries disappeared from the world.

The supernatural has become visible to everyone, and the barrier that has never been crossed before has been crossed. Aphrodite, who was in the form of her alter ego named Renata, spoke.

Will the gods do something about it?

They will probably use some divine art to make mortals forget about the supernatural.

But the lives lost wont come back.

Yes, thats too big an incident to resolve with just a memory change. Aphrodite nodded.

NovelF(ull). Net

Half of the globe has been destroyed by demons, and some countries are already considered hell on Earth.

Economic crisis going on, people afraid of death and the unknown, anarchy has set in around the world, governments not knowing what to do, and humanitys only ally is locked in a defensive war. Victor spoke.

The power fluctuations were so pronounced that Victor and Aphrodite could feel them even from afar.

The Vatican was in a siege war, which was obvious to anyone with any energy awareness.

Most of the worlds governments know about the supernatural, but the common people have been kept in the dark about it.

And when they saw hordes of demonic beings walking through the city, everyone was afraid, and feelings were running high. Aphrodite spoke.

Even Victors area wasnt left out. Some demons appeared and caused a little chaos that was soon resolved. After all, this was still Violets territory, and Victor still had his forces stationed here.

Victor nodded, looked up, and saw the crack of an opening in a window. With his vision, he could see someones eye watching cautiously.

Fear and caution could be seen in that gaze.

[So much negativity] Roxanne took a deep breath in Kaguyas shadow world.

[I love it~]

.. Victor raised his eyebrow and saw a red energy with dark shades of black coming towards him and entering his body.

???? He looked confused at this situation, he looked at Aphrodite, but the woman felt nothing.

. Aphrodite looked at Victor.

Whats it? I feel your confusion now.

Hmm, I dont know yet, but some kind of energy is entering my body right now.

Aphrodite narrowed her eyes, causing them to glow faintly in neon pink, as she used her divine sense.

Then she opened her eyes in shock.

You are feeding on the negativity of humans.

What? I am? Am I a demon or something? Victor spoke with humor.

Of course not. Only certain beings can absorb negativity, evil spirits being one of them, and

Qliphoth, right?

Yes.

[Roxanne, is that you?] Victor asked.

[Hmm? Ahh, yes, its me! Im sorry, master. I forgot to warn you.]

[I dont mind, but is everything okay?]

[Yeah, this is like drinking blood for me, Im feeding right now, and my main body in your soul is growing as we speak.]

[My main body is growing at a fast pace, if possible, stick around, this is a good place for me to grow.]

[Hmm, what happens if you grow up?]

[I dont know? But since my main body is linked to you, will you likely gain something, and will you become more resistant to using your progenitor power? I think you will be able to lower the restrictions to level 1 permanently if my body grows even more.]

[At least thats the feeling I get] Roxanne murmured.

Victors eyes sparkled a little,

[Keep me updated on your main body growth process.]

[Yes, Master~.]

Interesting Usually, when someone absorbs this much negativity, they feel all the feelings the original owner is feeling, but you seem to be fine.

I have a good wife. He laughed lightly.

Only you can say you married a world tree.

This has never happened before, okay?

Just how did you get this feat?

I was just myself? Victor answered honestly. From the beginning, he had always been himself, and most of the time, when faced with an unfamiliar situation, he always followed his instinct.

Hmm, I guess thats why I liked you.

Huh?

You are very honest, Darling.

My mothers influence, I guess

Indeed. Aphrodite laughed softly.

Victor just smiled slightly and continued walking along with Aphrodite while the two enjoyed each others presence. Even though an air of depression surrounded them, the two didnt seem affected, like they lived in their own little world.

I noticed something strange Humans arent reacting to me?

Oh, its because I masked your beauty.

Why?

Your beauty level has become a deadly danger for mortals.

Oh?

But I didnt have this problem before?

Before, you didnt have all my blessings.

Like I said before, Darling. Youre like a male version of me now.

And theres a reason why the goddess of beauty doesnt casually appear in front of weak-minded mortals in her real appearance.

Their mind is not prepared for that shock.

Hmm I dont see a problem with that?

Really? Aphrodite stopped walking and looked at Victor.

Darling, do you want to leave men and women eunuchs?

Huh?

Finding his confused face quite attractive, the goddess laughed lightly and began to speak:

Think with me.

Your wives are all beauties on their own level, and after seeing this beauty, can you feel attraction for a normal human?

Victor opened his eyes slightly, as he understood now what Aphrodite was talking about.

Victor was surrounded by preternaturally beautiful women, and in his mind right now, he couldnt even think of or find the beauty of an ordinary woman attractive.

You seem to understand now.

Hmm. He nodded.

Now take that thought, and put it on us.

I am the goddess of beauty. The moment humans, whether male or female, see me, their standard of beauty will automatically rise, and they wont find other humans attractive.

They wont be attracted to their own kind, so they become eunuchs.

The man who lives with an angel created by God to be perfect cant settle for an ordinary woman anymore, huh. Victor spoke.

Mm. Aphrodite nodded, That same concept applies to women.

Our real appearances have a lot of impact on an ordinary mortal mind that has never come into contact with the supernatural.

Because of this, I am masking our true appearances.

You and I look like two beautiful humans now, not two supernaturally beautiful creatures.

Hmm, this is complicated.

Fufufu, who said having the concept of beauty was an easy thing?

Beauty is subjective, everyone has their own thoughts about beauty, and when a mortal looks at me, they see the apex of what their subconscious considers beauty.

Putting that together with my other divinities Wherever I go, everyone will remember me.

So narcissistic.

Its not narcissism if its true. She shrugged in amusement.

I suggest that in the future if you appear in front of humans, you do what Im doing now. You dont want to harm the innocent, right?

Mm How do I do that?

Just use your beauty blessing. Imagine a little layer around your body like a shell that will show everyone what you want to show.

That little layer will contain your blessings.

Mm Victor nodded as his eyes twitched a little and thought of something covering his body.

Something like that?

As expected of my Darling, it was easy for you, huh? She smiled proudly.

I already had experience doing something similar when I use lightning.

Oh, now that you mention it, thats true.

Breaking news.

. Victor and Aphrodite stopped walking and looked to the side, and on top of a building, they saw a gigantic billboard.

The creatures have already taken over 40% of South Africa

The image changed, and the appearance of creatures that came out of the depths of hell appeared.

What is the government doing? Why dont they-. The transmission cut off.

They are censoring it, huh. Victor muttered.

This news will only generate widespread panic.

I wonder what the governments next move is? Victor started walking again, and Aphrodite fell into step beside him.

Will they fight? he asked aloud.

Modern weapons can only hurt low-ranking demons.

Heavier caliber weapons can hurt some medium-sized demons, but when it comes to more experienced demons, weapons are completely useless. What about Duke class demons? They wont even feel anything.

What about the Nukes?

Thats just a barbaric way of trying to solve the problem And, yes, it wouldnt work either.

I suppose the factions wont let the planet be destroyed by these weapons.

Indeed, and to be honest, I dont think the Devil is trying to destroy Earth either.

????

His moves are very calculated. If he wanted to destroy everything, he would have already used all of his strongest subordinates, the demon dukes.

Hmm.

The two continued talking and exchanging ideas, and soon time passed.

????

Luxury building in New York.

An hour later, they were in an elevator going up to the presidential suite.

The sound of tink was heard, and soon the elevator door opened to reveal a modern apartment.

You took your time. Hearing the male voice, Victor turned his face and saw a man.

He was 180 CM, shorter than Victor, with messy black hair, green eyes, and a thin but defined build.

He was wearing a black suit.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on his face:

You are indeed a progenitor. Illusions and mind control dont seem to work on you.

Victor narrowed his eyes, he didnt feel the man doing anything, but apparently, he did something.

Im not immune to illusions and mind control. I remember being affected by it in the past Oh, in the past, I hadnt progressed with my progenitor blood.

Seeing that the man wanted to possibly mess with his head, Victor didnt like that one bit, as his eyes started glowing a violet hue.

But he lost his reaction time. Someone got pissed off for him.

Loki! Aphrodites eyes glowed neon pink, and soon she reverted to her god form.

What are you doing?

Whoaa, whoaa, I was just trying to make a joke.

Dont you dare play games with my husband. Your games never end well for the parties involved.

The man just looked at Aphrodite with wide eyes, as the goddess words didnt even seem to have registered in his brain.

Im sorry, but What did you say just now?

Loki, are you deaf?

Just answer the question, please.

Aphrodite narrowed her eyes in annoyance and spoke again:

Dont you dare play with my husband-. Before she could continue, she was interrupted.

Yes, it wasnt a hallucination. Loki looked at Victor again, and his eyes gleamed slightly.

Victor felt something verifying his existence.

He snorted and concentrated on returning that sentiment.

But that little time he took to defend himself was enough for Loki to understand something.

Yeah I need a drink. He ignored the two and walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, took out two rather mediocre bottles, opened them, and poured the contents down his throat.

Ignore this man. Hes usually harmless, but he just likes to joke too much.

Hearing a womans voice, Victor looked forward and saw a woman with long, light brown hair and golden eyes. She was 189CM tall with a curvy body, but unlike the goddess beside him, who seemed to have a softer body,

The woman he was looking at went more on the athletic side and was completely ripped.

She was wearing a shirt top that showed off her six-pack abs, her breasts werent as big as Aphrodites J-Cup, looking like she had around a D-Cup, and she had thick thighs that could be seen through the black pants she was wearing and defined arms.

Overall, she gave off more of a warrior feel.

She and the women of Clan Adrastea would get along very well, I think. Victor thought to himself.

Just as Victor was sizing up the woman, the woman was also sizing him up, and she couldnt help blushing slightly when she saw his true appearance.

And the fact that he was looking at her appreciatively but not in a lusty way like most of the gods in her pantheon made her opinion grow a little higher.

She looked at the goddess of beauty with accusing eyes.

What?

You overdid it Giving all your blessings to a mortal? What happened to the others?

Hmph, who cares? My priority is my husband.

The brown-haired goddess just made a wry smile.

She easily discarded the other beings she blessed just for this man. The woman does not know whether to feel sorry for other beings or not.

Freya.

What? The woman looked at the man.

You dont look shocked.

Huh?

Im talking about Aphrodites wedding.

Oh wasnt that obvious? In the end, her marrying a mortal is nothing to note.

You airhead, use your divine senses. You are a goddess of death, right?

. A vein popped in Freyas head, but she still followed her friends recommendation. She knew that, despite being playful, he didnt say things without a concrete basis.

Looking at Victor, the golden eyes of the goddess began to glow.

Oh? She was surprised that he managed to hold her gaze.

You two are very nosy, huh. Victor growled, and his eyes gleamed with a violet tone.

The world in his perspective changed, and he saw two beings of immense golden power. He ignored this and looked at the red thread floating above their heads.

Victors hand was covered in a dark red hue, and using his progenitor power, he made a hand gesture, causing the red thread to receive a stimulus.

Ahhhhhh! Freya and Loki screamed in pain as they covered their eyes.
