My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires

Chapter 620: Universal Tree

When the two left the room they were in.

Victorʼs Wives entered a few minutes later, and all of his allies were with them; only Haruna and Viviane were not present.

”… I must say you handled that very well, Victor,” Scathach commented with a proud smile.

”I will not allow my parents to become degenerates who only exist to satisfy their own desires. I refuse to see them like that. I would rather see them dead than such a deplorable sight.”

”… Darling.” Violet murmured gently while speaking carefully and as slowly as possible so that Victor could see what he was saying: ”Donʼt say words you might regret.”

”...” Victor opened his mouth to speak but soon closed it and fell silent. A few seconds later, he just nodded his head and let out a frustrated sigh. Despite being irritated with this whole situation, he would never want to see his parents dead.

”Anyway, now that thatʼs settled, letʼs get back to the main subject.” Victor snapped his fingers, and several tables and chairs were set up.

”....” Natashia, Agnes, Scathach, Ruby, Violet, Sasha, Kaguya, and Aphrodite looked at each other and just nodded. They decided to put the matter aside for now. It was obvious that Victor didnʼt want to talk about it now.

”Just whatʼs going on on Mount Olympus? What about Russia?”

Aphrodite sat in one of the Ice chairs and said:

”The Beings imprisoned in Tartarus were all released, and a civil war ensued on Mount Olympus. Although the situation is bad, it is still manageable. Zeus may be a piece of shit, but there is no doubt that he is strong.”

ʼWell, at least almost all beings of Tartarus got out. Luckily that Beast Son of Gaia and Tartarus is still imprisoned...ʼ Aphrodite thought as she thought of Typhon, a beast that almost destroyed Olympus once.

She raised her hand, and a pink panel appeared in front of everyone, and it showed Aphroditeʼs memories of the civil war that was going on.

”…Fuck, this is ridiculous,” Sasha muttered in disbelief. The scale level of this war was way beyond normal.

”This is on a completely different level….” Leona spoke.

Powers on a scale that were only seen when two Vampire Counts fought were being used all over the battlefield as if it were completely normal.

The level of destruction was ridiculous.

”When Gods and Monsters go to war, Mortals can only hide and pray they donʼt get caught in the crossfire, huh….” Victor spoke.

”What was that?” Pepper asked in curiosity.

”One of the sayings of Ancient Greece.” Agnes and Aphrodite spoke at the same time. The two women looked at each other and nodded before looking back to the front.

”A saying that is true enough. Hardly any Younger Vampires, especially those without training, could handle a battle of this scale. Even Elder Vampires would have a hard time meddling with it.” Mizuki commented.

”You are just looking at the bigger picture of things. Even amongst Gods, few have the destructive power to cause this much damage.” Aphrodite explained.

”Look at me. I only learned to fight effectively when I left Mount Olympus; most Gods see no need to train.”

”So those Gods with more combat-oriented Divinities come out on top; of course, thatʼs also true for the Titans.”

”Well, in a way, that makes sense. I donʼt see the need for a God of Trade to have a Divinity related to fighting.” Ruby said, before continuing, ”Also, I donʼt see how this God can get strong; after all, everything is limiting him.”

Aphrodite nodded in agreement as she explained, ”Indeed, Gods are limited to the Divinities they possess, and even progressing in the ʼConceptʼ of that Divinity is something that takes a long time.”

”And thatʼs an advantage Mortals have over us, at least those Mortals who have longevity like Vampires.”

”In this room, most of you can face Lesser Gods and a few other Gods who wield a Divinity for combat but never bothered to train it.”

”Victor can take on most Gods due to the quirks of being a Progenitor of Vampires.”

”By using Blood, he can damage a Beingʼs Soul and eventually kill them if the accumulated damage is too great. Not to mention the other ʼspecialʼ attributes that damage the Soul without him needing to come into contact with the Being.” Aphrodite smiled when she thought of the day Victor damaged Freya with a casual gesture.

”Yeah, Yeah, the bastard is full of hacks. Honestly, itʼs unfair how much power he has.” Edward rolled his eyes.

”Life is not fair, Brother. Deal with it,” Leona said, then added, ”But youʼre right, Brother.”

Edward just snorted when he heard his sisterʼs words.

Aphrodite continued, ”Not to mention that after recent events, Victorʼs body is as strong as those belonging to the Strongest Alpha Werewolves in their Base Form.”

”Even Scathach is no match for him now.”

”Hey, I got better, okay? His attacks no longer damage me as much.” Scathach spoke with a smile on her face. She definitely wasnʼt upset about it.

”But can you harm him in your Base Form with just Martial Arts and not resorting to using your Vampire Count transformation or using that Spear of yours?” Aphrodite spoke.

”.....” Scathach was silent. No, she could not do that. Even in the previous training session, the one who suffered the most damage was Scathach and not Victor, proving how much stronger his body was.

Which was a good thing for Scathach; after all, she was feeling like she was getting much stronger than before alongside him.

Their relationship could now be described as Master and student, lovers, In-lawʼs, and most importantly, rivals.

”Not to mention that Victor can increase his power output even more now. In terms of power, I think he is on par with the lowest Godly ranks of those that own Combat Divinities.”

ʼAnd thatʼs just with his physical body…ʼ Aphrodite thought to herself and continued:

”And with his special ʼperksʼ, he could most likely fight a Mid-Level and High-Level Deities; after all, a fight between High-Level Gods is not just something physical, but also a battle between Souls.”

”In that regard, Victor only loses in quality, but this issue is slowly being improved now.”

”....” Roxanne just smiled gently.

”…Fuck, this is insane. I was bracing myself, but seriously! He hasnʼt reached 500 yet, you know!” Finally, Morgana, who had been quiet the entire time, spoke.

Roxanne nodded satisfactorily, ”Umu, itʼs all thanks to me! I will protect my Husband! Hehehehe~”

The girls just rolled their eyes at Roxanne.

”Next on the list of those capable of fighting High-Level Gods would be Jeanne, Natashia, Scathach, Morgana, and myself.”

”With just Jeanne, Scathach, and I being able to handle God-King Level Beings.”

”...” Morgana looked at Jeanne with a blank expression.

”What?” Jeanne asked.

”Did you really get that strong?”

”I told you, what Victor did helped me a lot….” Jeanne looked at Aphrodite, ”Although Iʼm surprised you know that, Aphrodite.”

”I would also like to know how you know that; I donʼt remember using all my strength before you,” Scathach commented.

”I have lived a long time and have met Earthʼs World Tree and its Guardian,” Aphrodite commented in a neutral tone. She looked at Scathach and continued:

”Your teacher was the Witch of Doncaster. This woman wouldnʼt have let you use her name if you hadnʼt surpassed her in the craft she was so dedicated to… Runes.

”A power so complex and powerful that, if used correctly, could threaten even a God-King, and after getting to know you a little better now, I believe you would not be satisfied until you reached that level of using Runes freely with your Vampire Powers.”

”....” Scathach only pursed his lips when she heard Aphrodite casually divulging about her past.

Victor looked at Scathach for a few seconds, then looked away and said nothing. He already knew that the name ʼScathachʼ wasnʼt her real name; after all, she even told him that when he became a Vampire Count.

”You are very insightful for a Goddess of Beauty, Aphrodite.”

”Ara, you donʼt live this long without paying attention to details, especially for someone like me who has enemies everywhere that actively wish harm upon me.”

”....” Victor narrowed his eyes at that comment. He didnʼt like what heʼd heard one bit.

Sensing Victorʼs emotions, Aphrodite looked at him and smiled gently.

ʼConcern… And trust, huh? It looks like heʼs worried about me being in a warring place, but he still trusts me enough to handle it… So lovely.ʼ Aphrodite felt quite sweet now. Her eyes seemed to glow a little brighter. She looked at Victor like she wanted to jump him then and there.

”…I see…The Energy we have is quite similar.” Jeanne nodded to herself as she thought of the World Tree that Aphrodite had known.

Aphrodite awoke from her stupor and looked at Jeanne: ”Although your Energy is much purer than everyone here. Even the Energy of Earthʼs World Tree means nothing in front of you.”

Aphrodite smiled widely, ”Seriously, itʼs not an exaggeration to say that youʼre our ace in the hole. Vlad really fucked up really bad, hahahaha~,”

Jeanne narrowed her eyes. She didnʼt like the tone in which Aphrodite spoke as if she were an object.

”Donʼt look at me like that. Iʼm just saying that if Vlad knew what you were, he wouldʼve never let you go.”

”That only makes me feel worse.” Jeanne rolled her eyes.

”But itʼs still true. Few Beings would look at your power and not want to use it for their own benefit; Victor is one of them.”

”Thatʼs why I like him. He looks at me for what I am, not what I can offer.” She narrowed her eyes at Aphrodite; she wasnʼt enjoying this conversation.

Seeing the big smile on Aphroditeʼs face, Jeanne squirmed as she realized what sheʼd said.

”... Great, another one... As if the Demon Girl wasnʼt enough.” Violet rolled her eyes.

”Although it was quite obvious,” Sasha spoke while looking at her nails, eyeing Jeanne out of the corner of her eye, who was completely red in the face, which was quite adorable for a woman with a grown child.

Natashia, Agnes, and Leona just looked at Victor with lifeless eyes.

”... I did nothing.” Victor quickly defended himself.

”We know, itʼs just annoying when it happens all the time. Canʼt you get uglier or something? Maybe wear a mask?” Leona spoke.

”Humpf, that would be a sin against all beings.”

”Great, now heʼs even more narcissistic.” Edward rolled his eyes.

”Heh, you would act like me, too, if you had all this.” He pointed to himself with a big smile on his face.

Edward snorted and turned his face away, he wouldnʼt openly admit it, but he knew Victor was correct.

Pepper, Lacus, and Siena just stared at the man with dry yet intense looks.

Scathach flashed a small smile when she saw how her three adopted daughters were acting.

ʼHmm, maybe Iʼll join the plan that Natashia spoke about.ʼ Scathach thought lazily. She felt so happy and satisfied; it even felt like she was floating on clouds. She felt so light.

”Okay, Okay, putting the romantic comedy aside for a bit. I donʼt understand anything youʼre talking about. What are these insinuations in the air? And why is Jeanne our Ace in the hole?” Liena pulled up an important point.

”Finally, someone noticed. I thought it was just me being left out.” Mizuki muttered at the end.

Liena looked at Scathach.

”I donʼt know anything about it either,” Scathach spoke.

Ruby, Sasha, Violet, and Agnes nodded, indicating they didnʼt know anything either.

”... Eh? Even you donʼt know anything?” Liena opened her mouth in surprise.

”Of the entire group, only Victor and I know,” Aphrodite spoke.

”I donʼt know exactly what it is, but... I have an idea that Iʼm 90% sure of. For me to be 100% sure, she would have to confirm it for me.” Victor replied as he thought about the strange events heʼd seen in Jeanneʼs memories.

”Vic… Why didnʼt you say anything? If I had known that, I would have explained it better.” Jeanne said. She thought Victor always knew.

Victor looked at Jeanne, ”Youʼre helping me, right?”

”Mm.”

”Then why do I need to know anything else? You bear me no ill will, and I told your Brother I would take care of you, and that is what I will do.”

”...” Jeanne looked in shock at Victor, and slowly a small, gentle smile appeared on her face.

ʼReally, itʼs just at these times that I feel bad that he wasnʼt born a little earlier…ʼ Jeanne fixed Victor with an intense gaze.

Morgana felt her lips twitch at this pink scene before her. Then, she looked at Victorʼs Wives and spoke:

”See? Natural playboy. With those looks and that character, itʼs impossible not to fall for him. Fuck, we have to do something.”

”…For once, I agree with you, Demon Girl,” Violet spoke.

”Believe me when I say it is an impossible task.” Kaguya, whoʼd remained quiet the entire time, said. Despite being one of Victorʼs Wives, she was a Maid before a Wife. She was a Maid-Wife who would rather care for Victorʼs needs than these complicated matters.

ʼMaid-Wife, huh... Not bad.ʼ Kaguya thought to herself with a bit of internal embarrassment.

”...” The girls were silent. Who was it who said that? It was Kaguya, the woman who spent close to 24 hours a day in Victorʼs shadow. Her words carried a lot of weight.

”Back to the point, Jeanne, are you going to talk about it or not?” Aphrodite took the reins of the conversation. They would forever deviate from the main subject if things continued like this.

Instead of answering, Jeanne looked at Victor like she was asking for permission.

”Itʼs up to you, Jeanne. Regardless of what you choose, I will support you.”

Jeanne smiled gently. She felt an invisible weight she had on her shoulders disappear with those words from Victor. Sheʼd been afraid of revealing her existence and girls treating him differently or special. She had had enough of that when she was Vladʼs ʼQueenʼ.

”Everyone knows who Roxanne is now, right?” Jeanne began to explain.

”Yeah, sheʼs a World Tree,” Pepper spoke naively.

”... Huh?” Liena just reacted as if she had just discovered that fact now.

The people in the room glared at Liena and ignored her reaction.

”You remember that Roxanne has the Big Guy, right? The giant gorilla who is her ʼGuardianʼ.”

Most nodded, with a few who didnʼt understand what she was talking about as they were the few who hadnʼt seen the Big Guy yet.

Ignoring this group that didnʼt know either, Jeanne continued:

”I am the same as Big Guy; I am a Guardian of a World Tree.”

”.....”

”But unlike Big Guy, my position is higher and a little more flexible. Iʼm still connected to the World Tree, but my autonomy is much greater because he is who he is.”

”I am the Guardian of one of the Seven Primordial Entities; I am the Guardian of the Universal Tree, the Tree that sustains all existence in the Universe, the Being responsible for the maintenance, life, and reincarnation of Souls in the Universe, the Being that is the Progenitor of all the World Trees in existence.”

”.....”

The shock was obvious, everyone didnʼt know how to react to those words, but just as expected, the first to respond came.

”Well, I expected something like that, but itʼs still surprising to confirm my suspicions.” Victor smiled.

”… So, you are my aunt?” Roxanne turned her head to the side in confusion.

”Well, I treat that Being like my brother, and he treats all of you like his children, so that analogy is correct… I guess.” Jeanne replied.

”Ohhh! I have an aunt!” Roxanne ignored everything and just listened to the part she was correct about, and then she jumped on Jeanne and hugged the girl.

Jeanne was static for a few seconds but then hugged the redhead, who was too big to be called small.

ʼDamn, these breasts are suffocating me.ʼ Jeanne thought she would die if this continued.

”... Fuck, I didnʼt expect that when you said you recovered a lot of things,” Morgana grumbled.

With great effort, Jeanne separated her head from Roxanneʼs grip and looked at Morgana:

”I wandered for a long time, and due to some events that led me to assume the Fate of a little girl, I lost the memories of who I was. Only when Victor helped me was I able to remember who I was.”

”Ugh... This opens up possibilities for so many problems itʼs not even funny.” Ruby felt a headache coming on.

”... What do you mean?” Jeanne asked, confused.

”Iʼm talking about your children. If you are the Guardian of a Primordial Entity, does that mean your children will inherit the ability to use that Purest Energy?”

”Nah, thatʼs not going to happen.”

”Why?”

”My position is special. That Energy is bound to my Soul and only my Soul. Therefore, even if I have a child, he will only inherit my lineage from the ʼRaceʼ I am now.”

”Hmm… Huh?” Ruby was speechless; she didnʼt understand anything.

”Simply put, I am like the mother of Carmilla Fulger, I am a Spirit who gained a physical body thanks to the power of the Heavenly Father, and subsequently, I have transformed into a Vampire thanks to Vlad.”

”As a Higher Level Spirit, I can assume any Race, and my essence will not mix with my physical body. If I have a child, the child will only inherit the things I have in my ʼphysicalʼ body. ”

”The child will not inherit anything from my spiritual side.”

”… Thatʼs good. Just thinking of the chaos that wouldʼve ensued if your children and descendants started using this Primordial Energy stressed me out.” Ruby sighed in relief.

”The Primordial Ones also understood this concern, and thus, even if they were to have descendants, those descendants would not inherit anything from their parents.”

”Balance is a fragile thing, and it needs to be protected at all costs.”

Only Roxanne and Aphrodite nodded. They seemed to be the only people in the room who understood what Jeanne was talking about.

”Jeanne, you speak as if you knew my ancestor,” Sasha asked while narrowing her eyes, something her mother was doing too. The two Fulgers didnʼt miss that little detail.

Jeanne looked at Sasha and smiled gently: ”Yeah, I met her. After all, I was the one who named her.”

Natashia and Sasha opened their eyes wide.

”Folks...”

The group looked at Victor.

”Weʼve gone off track again.”

”…Oh.” Everyone reacted at the same time.

Victor sighed and looked at Ruby, ”Tell me about the war in Russia right now.”

”Yes.”

”About Mount Olympus…” He glanced at Aphrodite, ”Just keep an eye out and try to bring some ʼreliableʼ Gods to our side.” He didnʼt explain much; he knew the Goddess understood what he meant when he said ʼreliableʼ.

It was basically a term to say: Easy to manipulate and control.

Aphrodite flashed a sly smile and said, ”Thatʼs what I was already doing, Darling.”

Victor just smiled when he heard that. He had very competent people beside him.

The meeting resumed with Victor, Scathach, and Aphrodite taking the reins of the entire discussion.
