Chapter 747: Wives united means an invincible group.
In the end, there was no deal. After all, too much information was lacking to make one. Still, Hera had already performed the greatest act of betrayal by cutting off Zeus' private parts [Consequently saving hundreds of men and women from being abused by him.]
Women like Scathach, Jeanne, Sasha, Ruby, and Hestia supported 'hiding' Hera from the God-King's hostile eyes. Violet was reluctant to agree since such actions would not benefit their group in the near future, but she accepted once Ruby explained her thoughts.
To summarize the explanation, it would be that they could use Hera to 'validate' the group of Goddesses that 'fled' from Mount Olympus. Such action in the past would have been impossible, but since Olympus was in a civil war, and everyone knew that Zeus was getting crazier every day, this explanation would be more accepted than in the past.
In this way, their group would be seen as 'saviors' of the 'abused' Gods, painting a positive image in the community of Supernatural Beings that would no doubt go a long way in removing Victor's 'infamy'.
Despite being an Evil God representing various Negative Aspects, Victor was also the God of Martial Honor, Family, Home, and Nature. He is a kind God who helps those who seek his help.
This was what the girls wanted to happen.
Of course, they knew not everyone would be fooled by this nonsense. After all, Victor's infamy level was very high. Still, it would have a tremendous effect on his followers, who'll become even more devoted, and consequently, everyone who comes into contact with these devotees will also be converted.
After all, the religion of the Blood God was, without a doubt, a great supporter. As long as one made an effort, they could earn various perks that would definitely help them have a better life in this New Era where Supernatural Beings no longer remained hidden.
Welcoming Hera also had several other smaller goals, like having access to all of Zeus' secrets in the palm of their hand.
Hera was, after all, the Goddess who married Zeus. The woman had all sorts of dirt on Zeus, actions he did that were even worse than those he didn't bother to hide, or give reasons for, due to being the 'God-King' from Mount Olympus.
Understanding the reasons and finding them acceptable, Violet also accented Hera's presence As long as the woman was useful in any way, and of course, she stayed FAR away from Victor.
Requirements they all accepted readily. After all, they had similar thoughts; they didn't want useless people as their subordinates.
All Goddesses in Aphrodite and Hestia's group had their own work that aided the entire Faction. The same went for the Faction's Allies like the Amazons, the Fairies, and the Youkai.
They all contributed something. Useless people would not be welcomed.
After a lengthy discussion, they accepted Hera, the Ancient Goddess Queen, leaving her under the care of Hestia and Rhea.
Speaking of Rhea, it seemed they were now caring for two former Queens of Mount Olympus. They wondered if Victor's luck was that high; after all, somehow, everything was tied to him in some weird way.
For example, Aphrodite fell in love with Victor, and because of this connection, Hestia and the group of Goddesses came to the Faction. Sometime later, the situation with Hera happened.
"Cough, cough." Nyx pretended to cough to get everyone's attention.
The women looked at Nyx strangely. They wondered,"Why was she still here? Hasn't she already done her job? Why won't she just go away?"
Nyx clearly understood the women's stares, and somehow, she started to get irritated again. She was a Primordial Goddess of Olympus, you know? She was one of the first Goddesses to come into existence in the Pantheon! But she was magnanimous; she wouldn't get irritated over something small like that. Therefore, she decided just to ask her question:
"... So Hera's going to Nightingale, and that's fine and all, but... What about me?"
"I don't understand. What do you mean?" Aphrodite asked.
"Am I not going to get help? I'm a Goddess in need, you know?"
... The girls looked at each other with strange expressions. The girls' expressions asked, 'Can you believe what this bitch just said?"
It was noteworthy that they again understood how shameless the Gods were. They had rather thick skin.
Aphrodite smiled sweetly back at Nyx: "Nyx, isn't your work here finished? Why are you still here?"
"... What are you talking about? My work is not done yet." Nyx smiled the same way Aphrodite did.
"...Oh?
"Tell me, how will you retrieve the 'fugitive' Goddesses without my help?"
Aphrodite's thought process stalled for a few seconds. She had completely forgotten about that fact.
Currently, the Greek Pantheon was in a 'closed' state thanks to Zeus. Only the Primordial Gods of the Pantheon can bypass that restriction. They would need one of the Primordial Gods to enter Olympus and retrieve the Gods, and if they were to choose between Nyx, Gaia, Erebus, and Tartarus...
Aphrodite would choose Nyx. The reason for this? Nyx, despite being who she is, could be relatively predictable. After all, most of the time, she acted through logic.
Something Gaia and Tartarus didn't do. They were just walking balls of spite.
After staring at the Primordial Goddess of The Night for some time, Aphrodite looked at the girls:
"... Do we really have no other choice?" She asked, just to be sure. She couldn't think of anything they could use to sneak into the Pantheon.
She knew a few Space-related Gods, but even they couldn't sneak in as Nyx could.
The girls looked at each other and shook their heads from side to side at Aphrodite, indicating that they had no idea how to help in this particular case.
Aphrodite couldn't help but sigh internally. She really didn't want to come into contact with Nyx too much. The Goddess of The Night stank a lot... A stench she knew all too well, the stench of a woman who liked to conspire, the stench of someone like Aphrodite herself.
It was because they were so similar to each other in that particular matter that Aphrodite understood Nyx a little. The woman would do anything to achieve her goals... Whatever that goal was.
'Haah... I think the first step will be to find out what this Goddess wants.'
"Very well, Nyx... You can bring the Gods."
"I'm glad you understand-." Before Nyx could finish, Aphrodite spoke.
"But only to Earth."
"..." Nyx raised an eyebrow, "Of course...? Where do you think I would send them? To Nightingale?" She spoke with an amused expression.
...Okay, now that was weird. Didn't she want to come to Nightingale?" Aphrodite thought.
"Haah... This is going to be a long day, isn't it?" Violet sighed as she grumbled.
The girls just nodded at Violet's statement.
"Oh, one thing." Nyx suddenly started talking, "Can you please tell that Dragon of yours to stop looking at me like it wants to eat me? It's really annoying."
"..." Of course, she knew, didn't she? Everyone thought.
Somehow no one was surprised that she knew this. After all, they were dealing with a Primordial Goddess, a dangerous woman that girls needed to bring all their heavy weights just to be safe.
"Zaladrac, would you be so kind as to come here?" Sasha asked in a gentle voice.
A ripple appeared in the area, and soon a woman with Dragon wings and long dark violet hair appeared.
"..." Zaladrac looked at Hera, who flinched at her gaze, and then looked at Nyx.
Nyx narrowed her eyes when she felt Zaladrac's gaze. 'She's stronger than I initially thought... Even among Dragons, she must be special... Or was it Victor who made her special thanks to his connection to a World Tree?" The Night Goddess was having a lot of doubts, but one thing was sure, she was delighted that her plans were going well.
She managed to contact Victor's Faction in a more... 'friendly' way... Now, she had to move on with the other objectives.
'I hope I can bring him to my side before Erebus fulfills his plan for Olympus, whatever that plan is...' Nyx felt annoyed when she thought about her ex-husband. The man was acting very strange. I'm not liking their affiliation with that organization one bit.'
Whatever happened, Nyx just hoped the bad feeling she'd been feeling didn't come true.
Rumble, Rumble.
Sounds of Lightning were heard, and soon a blonde woman and a woman with long white hair appeared.
"They really had many other warriors on the prowl.' Hera thought as she looked at Nyx for a few seconds: 'All this preparation just to deal with Nyx in case she turned hostile... It was noteworthy that Hera was quite impressed that they all dared to face a Primordial God if necessary.
That was an attitude she really couldn't bring herself to have.
"Now that Agnes and Natashia are here, let's make a list of all the Beings we're going to bring back from Mount Olympus."
"Let's make a list of the Gods who will take our protection." Scathach began to speak.
"We should prioritize those that are not problematic," Sasha added.
"And those who are easily influenced," Jeanne added next.
"On these conditions alone, we've already eliminated Athena, Artemis, and several other 'proud' Goddesses." Aphrodite pointed.
"So we're going to focus on the Middle and Lesser Gods?" Hestia asked.
"It's a good idea... A Minor God isn't that useful in a Pantheon, but the same can't be said for us... All of them will be useful to us." Ruby spoke.
They all understood Ruby's implied words and agreed with her. The more useful manpower you had, the better it would be for the Faction, and it was worth noting that Gods were the best manpower available.
They were quite useful when they let go of some of their natural arrogance.
Nyx looked at these women, arguing with each other and making suggestions. She couldn't help but think that the man who won them over must be quite special. After all, they were all capable women.
She wasn't sure she would come out unscathed if she decided to turn hostile. She thought that for several reasons, among them was Scathach and that dangerous Spear of hers.
The woman named Jeanne had a ridiculous amount of Energy, and that Dragon, from the beginning, had never stopped watching Nyx like a hawk.
Aphrodite herself was a danger too. Usually, she wouldn't be influenced by her Divinity, but if several of these strong Beings attacked her... She didn't know if she wouldn't fall under Aphrodite's influence.
Nyx knew all too well how terrifying the power of Aphrodite's Charm was when she was in her 'True' Form, which allowed a God to access their power entirely.
...
In a bedroom with a double bed, two lovers were snuggled together.
"Hmm~, you have no idea how happy I am to be with you like this, Vic."
"I know; after all, you always tell me." Victor smiled gently as he stroked Leona's hair and tail.
Currently, she was in her 'Hybrid' Form, the way she came into the world. She was breathing heavily. Evidently, she had gone through a great training session.
"I have to say it several times for you to value me more." Leona snorted and moaned when she felt her ass being grabbed, and Victor's white liquid began to leak from inside her.
'... What a waste...'She mumbled in annoyance.
"Oh? You mean I don't value you?" Victor's eyes gleamed brightly.
Leona shuddered slightly when she felt Victor's glare: "Of course not!" She pulled out of his arms and looked earnestly into his eyes, "You value me so much!"
"Hmm~" Victor looked at Leona for a few seconds judging her intentions, and then he smiled: "It's good that you
understand. I thought I needed to show my 'appreciation' and 'love' even more."
'If we continue our fight, I will become a pleasure-minded idiot.' Leona thought. Though for a moment, she thought she wouldn't mind staying that way if it was Victor.
The moment that thought popped into her head, memories of the incapacitated 'states' of Natashia, Morgana, Roberta, Agnes, and Violet flashed through her mind.
The girls mentioned were the ones who were most 'addicted' to the night activities, and whenever the activities ended, it seemed like they had gone to the afterlife.
Leona definitely didn't want to be like that. She still liked to keep her rationality... Sometimes...
"Ugh, this is a devil's game! He is indeed a Demon King! How can he tempt me like this!?" Leona grumbled. She felt complex now, she wanted to give herself over to pleasure, and at the same time, she didn't.
"Now that we're calmer, why don't we talk about my family?" Leona asked clearly in an attempt to change the subject.
Victor rolled his eyes. He could read Leona like the back of his hand. He knew entirely what kind of bullshit she was thinking.
Despite enjoying seeing the 'afterlife' state of his Wives, Victor always maintained control not to overdo it. After all, too much pleasure can be very bad too.
As someone who had the Blessing of Aphrodite's Sexuality, he instinctively knew when to 'stop'. The reason he did this was simple. He didn't just desire sex. He wanted to show his 'love'. Only in this way would his obsession be satisfied.
Because of this, he liked the 'post-intercourse' moments more, because, at that moment, he could show even more affection and love from him... It was also at these times that girls' lust was most awakened. After all, women liked to be appreciated.
Victor took Leona's arms and pulled her to his body.
"Kyaa~"
"What about your family?" Victor asked as he started stroking Leona's head again.
Leona closed her eyes and enjoyed Victor's caresses for a few seconds. She changed her position a little and laid her head on his chest. Then she started talking...
