My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires

Chapter 1116: Old Friends. 2

Thanks to The Empireʼs technology, the entire process of making an anime was accelerated from years to a few months. Depending on the anime, it could take only 3 weeks for 12 Episodes to be ready.

Of course, Pepper wouldnʼt be left out of this since she was at the forefront of the development of this ʼcultureʼ. She was not even doing this because of her Title but because of her personal tastes.

While Fred was lost looking at the hologram, Andrew looked at Edward: ”How is it being married to your aunt?”

”Are you still thinking about that?”

”I mean, Fred started it.” Andrew shrugged. Personally, he didnʼt care. Heʼd seen too much Supernatural nonsense for their previous livesʼ sensibilities to still hold any meaning.

Although he was still a Human, he was no longer a normal Human. He was an Inquisitor in training, but since the person training him was no longer an Inquisitor, he called himself a Hunter.

He was a Hunter trained by his mother. Of course, he wasnʼt the best since it took a long time to become a decent Hunter, and Humans were much more fragile than other creatures, so they had to fight dirty.

Edward sighed again and then shrugged: ”I didnʼt really have much of a choice due to my fatherʼs position and my grandmother. I kind of walked in that direction of my own free will. When I saw her, it turned out that we both shared the same tastes, so we got together.”

”Although my other aunts, cousins, and nieces are interested in me too, most of them are in it for Power and not for myself.”

The Lykos Clan was a big family because of Maya, and everyone was literally related to each other to some degree, meaning it was rare for them to marry outside the Lykos Clan Bloodline.

After all, most of the time, people preferred someone they had known since childhood than to find someone new and possibly full of problems.

”Power, huh... I can only imagine the chaos when your niece went to the Lykos Clan.”

”...Donʼt even mention it,” Edward grunted. By ʼnieceʼ, Andrew was talking about Leonaʼs Daughter with Victor.

When this girl, along with Mayaʼs Daughter, went to visit their family, practically all the men in the Clan wanted them for themselves. After all, they had the best genes and the best looks and were the Daughters of Victor, a Being who had a lot of influence in the world.

”That was a bloody mess, if my Grandmother hadnʼt punished everyone horribly, half of my Clan would have been rendered extinct.”

Edward remembered the terrible punishment those men faced of having their younger brothers ripped off from their bodies and restored again... Over and over. Maya was a Dragon Goddess, too, so she could shape reality like her Sisters. She was not as ridiculously proficient as Anna was, but she was good enough to affect a Being.

Leaving someone close to death and shaping Reality for them to heal was something quite easy for her, and that was the kind of punishment that was meted out to those who were plotting against the two girls.

”...Did Victor and Leona do something?” Andrew asked cautiously.

”If either of them were involved, no one would be left.” Edward shuddered. He knew his sisterʼs and his friendʼs personalities very well: ”Not to mention that the two of them werenʼt that defenseless. Originally, it was them who were going to kill everyone.”

”...Well, they are the daughters of Dragon Gods, and they are also Goddesses...” Andrew said. It took a special kind of idiot to believe that they could go head to head against a Dragon God. Even if they are hatchlings, theyʼre still very strong, especially Victorʼs Daughters. 𐍂𝔞ΝоʙЕṢ

Edward nodded. ”I thank my grandmother. If it werenʼt for her, things would have been much worse… Much worse indeed…” Although, since that day, it had become much easier to govern The Lykos Clan. Everyone who had caused trouble on a daily basis had become docile like a lazy fat cat.

ʼItʼs as if everyone has suddenly taken a tranquilizer and will follow my orders with maximum efficiency.ʼ Edward thought.

When he took over the leadership of the Clan, despite the other members listening to him, the men, his uncles, cousins, and nephews, constantly tried to challenge his authority to take the Title of Clan Leader for themselves.

This was not frowned upon since the Alpha of the Clan needed to be the strongest. Edward needed to prove himself as the strongest, most intelligent, and most resilient so that everyone would follow him.

He was handling it well, but the constant insubordination was annoying, and Edward did not have the cruel streak of torturing his own relatives as an example. He was not a lunatic, and the methods he chose were time-consuming but would be partly effective. Some would respect him, while others would still aim for his position.

Maya even advised him to become more cruel, but he couldnʼt do it without a reason. It was one thing for them to provoke him in a horrible way, like attacking his relatives or loved ones, but it was another thing for him to do so for no reason at all.

Although this kind of attitude was only internal. Externally, outside the Clan, the Lykos remained the same. After all, it was an unspoken rule that the Clanʼs problems needed to be resolved within the Clan. Outsiders should not know about them.

”Heh, if I had gotten involved, it would have been their Souls paying the price, and they wouldnʼt even be here to tell the story~, my friend.”

”!!!” The three men turned sharply towards the voice and saw Victor sitting on the section of the building above them with his head resting on his right fist, his long black hair made of Miasma fluttering in the wind as if everything had been timed.

The cloudy sky disappeared, and the moonlight reflected behind him, giving an even more profound impression to the three.

”...You sure do like making a dramatic entrance, donʼt you?” Edward grumbled. Victorʼs appearance was bad for his heart. He didnʼt swing that way, but it seemed that, when it came to Victor, there were no such things as preferences, only the word ʼyesʼ.

Just like Aphrodite, he was the preference of all Beings. That was the ʼcurseʼ of beauty.

”Believe it or not, this is just a coincidence.” Victor looked at the moon and the weather, which had become clearer.

”The moon getting so bright, the cloudy weather suddenly becoming clear, and the surrounding area itself getting a little warmer. All of that? A coincidence?” Andrew raised his eyebrow.

Victor laughed. ”The planet loves me, after all.”

”Only you could make a World Tree and its counterpart love you. Arenʼt they supposed to be asexual Beings or something?” Andrew asked.

”Asexual Beings only exist when Iʼm not around…” He spoke with a playful narcissism, which made the three friends roll their eyes, and then he added: ”Or when they donʼt find someone interesting enough to hold their attention.”

”Someone interesting, huh... It seems they can become that way by choice.”

”Itʼs not strange that you donʼt understand. Itʼs something that few know, after all.” Victor explained and then spoke.

”When the Universal Tree became responsible for maintaining Life in the Universe, it created seeds that would be its daughters, and these daughters would be responsible for all the planets with Life in the Universe. Since the beginning of their Creation, the World Trees have all been female, but they donʼt assume their role as females like Mortals or even Goddesses. They are part of an entire gigantic System.”

”Not to mention that they are ancient.”

”Ancient?” Fred raised an eyebrow.

”Yes, remember, each of them is as old as the planet they are on, so they witnessed the Gods being born, then they witnessed Mortals being born. Beings like that are not interested in the acts of procreation; they donʼt need it after all. Their job is just to nourish the planet. Not to mention that since their Souls are essentially the size of a planet itself, it is impossible for them to get pregnant... Unless itʼs with me, of course.”

Victor laughed again. He had managed to impregnate not just one but two World Trees, which shouldʼve been impossible. After all, these Beings were created by a Primordial to be part of the System. Victorʼs Daughters were the only World Trees that were not created by Jeanneʼs brother.

ʼNot to mention that World Trees canʼt get pregnant even if theyʼre female, and thatʼs not because of the size of their Souls, but because of their Creatorʼs prohibition.ʼ Victor thought but didnʼt say anything. After all, that was a secret that couldnʼt be said openly. The only reason Victor was able to get Roxanne and Amara pregnant was because of his nature, which distorted the rules created by existence.

If it werenʼt for that, even if he were a Progenitor, he wouldnʼt be able to get them pregnant. He understood that much better now with his knowledge of how the Rules of the Universe work.

”So you impregnated a planet...” Andrew didnʼt know what to say to that.

”...Wow...” The other two just looked like expressionless NPCs as they reacted, after all, how were they supposed to react to that? Itʼs not every day you hear this kind of nonsense.

”You guys look like lifeless NPCs reacting.” Victor laughed.

”...I mean, how do you want us to react to that fact?” Fred shrugged. He couldnʼt even imagine how it was possible for him to impregnate a planet.

”Well…” Victor looked towards a random place. When his friends looked in that direction, Victor disappeared from where he was sitting and appeared sitting on the balcony of the building with his old appearance and his Divinities of Beauty contained.

”A little more shocked? Reacting like those characters from One Piece.”

”Thatʼs physically impossible…” Fred replied but stopped for a few seconds to sigh in relief when he saw the change in Victorʼs appearance. ”Weʼre not in an anime, you know? And we donʼt have rubber Powers to replicate that feat.”

”If you want rubber Powers, I can give them to you.”

”...Is it okay for the God-Emperor to… Hmm…” Andrew searched for the right words to say without sounding like an idiot.

”Have his favorites?” Victor helped him.

”...Yes”

”Iʼm not here as the God-Emperor.” Victor shook his head in denial. ”Iʼm just here as Victor. Itʼs important to know the difference.”

”That being said… So what if I have my favorites? What is anyone going to do about it? Complain? File a complaint with a government agency? Pfft, this isnʼt a democracy. The only thing they can do is try and kill me, but can they achieve such a feat?... Yeah, I donʼt think so.” Victor laughed predatorily.
