Chapter 914: A Discovery. 2

"God, understand something simple. I don't need this alliance. You're the one who needs it." Victor decided to be completely honest.

"You can't offer me anything. I am the one who can offer everything to you."

Victor leaned his body back on his Throne, and rested his head on his right hand: "When our Sector evolves to a Higher Level, Alien Gods will see us as prey to be devoured, and exploited. At that time, Supernatural Beings will look for the best safe haven that will protect them from these Gods."

"You, and everyone out there, have realized that ME and my Faction are the best safe haven."

"Because of this, you are here looking for an alliance. Am I wrong?"

Ariel and the Heavenly Father's silence was all the answer they needed.

The Heavenly Father and the other Gods from different Pantheons may have prestige, they may be famous, they may be ancient, but in the face of TRUE strength, none of that mattered.

Now the question comes, what is strength? Individual strength? If so, the Hindu Pantheon itself had Kali and Shiva. n/-In

Number of forces? Perhaps Odin could get into that rank if he trained his strongest soldiers.

But even then it wasn't enough. What everyone needed was the entire set of numbers, individual strength, and potential.

Because of this, everyone was looking for alliance with Victor because he met all of these requirements. Everyone was racing against time in search of becoming stronger. The reason for this was due to a single simple sensation.

The Sector will undergo a change. This was the feeling that the God-Kings of the Pantheons who knew The System felt.

For those Elder Gods like Nyx who was a Primordial God who had been around since the beginning of this Sector, such a feeling was not uncommon, they had been through it once, and this time they would go through it again.

And all the Primordial Gods of each Pantheon knew... That this time it would be different. If they didn't prepare, they would suffer. It was not that no one told them this information, they just felt it. They felt that their Divine 'Domain' was slowly entering a larger sphere of influence.

Call it a sixth sense, survival instinct, or even future premonition, in the end it didn't matter. The feeling was the same.

In this Sector there were four Beings that were the strongest. Victor Alucard, the Dragon God of Chaos, Kali, the Highest Level Goddess of Destruction who was one step away from becoming a Primordial Entity, Jeanne Alucard, Victor's Wife, the woman directly connected to one of the Primordials, The Universal Tree, who was slowly regaining her former strength and Power thanks to her new Race, and of course, Velnorah, the former Overlord of an average Sector like Victor's, the woman who has with her the science that is light years ahead of the current Earth.

Just because of the existence of these four Beings, the level of the Sector would increase drastically. They were literally Beings too strong for this Sector.

Of course, Victor's influence could not be ignored either. Creating several True Dragons with insane potential had this effect on the Sector as well. Not to mention that he was literally the first Being in existence to wield the Powers of both sides of the scale without breaking The Balance,

The Balance of Power TODAY was completely in Victor's favor, only a suicidal madman would provoke this man.

The Heavenly Father's attitude before went beyond the acceptable. From the beginning, Victor never directly disrespected him, or demanded that he do anything for him.

Although there was the case of Lilith, and her show of 'hate', this could be seen as entertainment for the Demons. After all, it was a fact that Angels and Demons never had a good relationship. Therefore, such an act can be ignored, and worked on in the future in favor of a good alliance.

But... Treating the Demon King of Tyranny as his subordinate...?

That's asking for death.

"Haah... You're right, I apologize for my words, Victor." Heavenly Father lowered his head slightly.

Victor's eyes lost their dangerous shine and the atmosphere began to lighten: "...Very well, I apologize for my way of expressing myself too." He saw that the man had genuinely apologized, so there was no point in continuing this matter.

But despite accepting the apology, the words spoken were not forgotten, as was Victor's own warning.

Victor had completely lost his fear. With his own Power, along with Jeanne's, and Velnorah's, they could completely eliminate most Supernatural Beings, and reduce this Sector to a powerless Sector. Not to mention his other forces, like Nyx, Scathach, Agnes, his Dragons.

But such an action would just be shooting themselves in the foot. After all, they would be losing the walls of flesh that would protect their people from invaders.

"Anyway, now that this specific matter has been resolved, the time I can spend with you guys has ended here." Victor rose from the Throne, and as he descended down the stairs, he continued talking.

"My most trusted subordinates will be at your service 24 hours a day to ensure your stay in Hell is accommodating." Victor pointed to Albu, and Zahal.

Ariel's lips almost twitched at this statement. It was obvious that these Demons were not just for their service, but to watch over them. After all, they were the safest bet in case the Heavenly Father became hostile.

'It seems that the previous conflict caused Victor to lose several levels of trust with the Heavenly Father.' Ariel thought.

And surprisingly, she wasn't wrong. Victor is a simple guy.

Treat me with respect, and I will treat you with respect too.

Disrespect me, and you completely lose my respect.

He followed this code of conduct with everyone. Because of this, interactions with Heavenly Father from the beginning were smooth, because Heavenly Father recognized Victor's Power in The Gathering of Supernatural Beings.

Something he apparently forgot when he was faced with something 'impossible' which was the rise of Victor's subordinate.

'Although I can understand my father's reaction… I had the same reaction as him to seeing someone look so much like Angels.' Ariel thought.

A black card with the symbol of a violet-eyed Dragon's head appeared in Victor's hand. "This card contains 1,000,000 Knulls."

"You can use it to have fun and see the tourist attractions from Hell."

"Victor... I don't think it's necessary, it would be a nuisance to take advantage of your goodwill." The Heavenly Father spoke sincerely.

Accepting this gift from Victor now would only paint their image as freeloaders even more.

"Hmm, it's okay if you don't want to accept it, but you guys don't have the currency of Hell, you know? And the other currencies are worth much less here."

"...I can exchange an item." A golden light formed in the Heavenly Father's hand, and soon a dagger formed in his hand.

"Oh?" Victor became slightly interested when he saw the dagger's Aura of Holiness and Sin.

"The dagger used in the first murder... A dagger stained by the Sin of Man, and the Holiness of The Divine."

"Cain's dagger."

"...Interesting, I see traces of the Angels on that dagger."

"Yes, he was raised by one of my children."

"Let me guess… Lucifer?"

"Correct." The Heavenly Father nodded. "Despite having Fallen, he maintained his Holiness."

'Yes, I know that... Lily's own Power is an example of this Holiness.' Victor thought.

A thought appeared in Victor's head. 'What prompted the Heavenly Father to keep this dagger?'

Looking at the dagger more closely, he saw that Holiness and Sin were completely in harmony, an item that essentially broke The Balance of the world.

"... I understand. It seems that not even you escaped this curiosity."

"Unfortunately, Yes. I didn't." The Heavenly Father nodded.

Why did he keep this dagger? It was obvious. He wanted to study The Balance of two opposing energies in that item. Yet, even after so many millennia in possession of this dagger, he never managed to understand anything.

"Very well... That is acceptable." Victor gestured with his hand, and the dagger flew towards him.

Then Victor snapped his finger, and something changed on the card, making it blacker, with the details of the Dragon becoming clearer.

"In exchange for this artifact, I've added 3 more zeros at the end."

"...That much?" Heavenly Father asked in disbelief.

"Of course. This is an Artifact worthy of that value." Victor smiled. He looked quite satisfied as he looked at the dagger with his Dragon Eyes, eyes that can naturally see more than most, not to mention his current Divinity, and his Visual Power that he had from the beginning.

It was at that moment that the Heavenly Father realized something: "... You discovered something, didn't you?"

Faced with this question, Victor just smiled in amusement, but he also didn't deny the Heavenly Father's words. His silence was the very answer that The Heavenly Father needed.

The man covered by the light just sighed visibly. "Just... Can you pass on your knowledge if you discover something?"

"Even if I tell you, it will be irrelevant. You won't be able to do anything with this information."

"...Still...I want to know. After all, I spent a lot of time studying this Artifact."

"Hmm… I will think about it." Victor didn't make a promise, but the chance of him giving this information was close to zero. After all, he knew very well how valuable this information was.

By just looking at the dagger, he 'learned' why his own existence was not declared as someone breaking The Balance by The System.

Even knowing that Victor's chance of passing on this information was very low, the Heavenly Father thanked him. "I thank you for that."

"Mm... I'll go now, have a good time in Hell." Victor turned around, the dagger disappeared along with him and his daughters.
