Chapter 382: Two Progenitors.Dracul and Alucard.2
"Tsukuyomi-sama, Tsukuyomi-sama, TSUKUYOMI-SAMA!"
"I already heard the first ti..."
"The King of Vampires is here!"
"I know..." Tsukuyomi's expression was not good at all. He was one of the gods that Vlad 'looked' at, and he felt his entire existence tremble at that look.
He could feel sothing he had long forgotten... Death...
The instinctive fear of permanent death. He knew that if a god attacked Vlad at that mont, literal hell would befall the Shinto gods.
The King of Vampires is strong, but what makes him so nacing is his ability to permanently kill an immortal. He had heard many cases where gods disappeared forever when they ca into conflict with Vlad.
'Only Lady Amaterasu and the primordial gods can deal with this man.'
"What are we supposed to do!?"
"Lady-Amaterasu ordered that we don't do anything and that we should just prepare for a possible attack from that monster."
"..." The ssenger was silent, and, just like his master, his expression was not good at all.
...
Today was a normal day for a teenager nad Hakuma Noku, who was walking around Akihabara at night when suddenly, he saw a beautiful little girl wearing a gothic dress.
Her beauty, her cute expression, it was as if this little girl had co straight out of a Shoujo Manga.
And this little girl was accompanied by another beauty who seed to be older than her, she had white hair that reached one shoulder, and she wore more normal clothes.
They looked like they were looking at a cute clothing store.
Cough.
Noku didn't want to brag, but he was considered an 'Iken'. {A/N: Handso man]
He thought so too, after all, he was the captain of the school's football team, his grades were perfect, and, when he walked down the street, won looked at him and pointed at him.
He was a real handso man.
And because of that, he was confident enough to veer out of his way and head towards those girls.
... He totally ignored that the little girl was just... A little girl... He was too blinded by her beauty.
"Hey, girls-." He didn't even have ti to finish what he was going to say when he heard the white-haired girl saying.
"Fuck off."
"...." He opened his mouth in shock, and his 'gentle' expression almost broke.
When he would insist even more, he felt soone tapping his shoulder.
"...?" He turned his face and saw a wall, and that wall had very strong muscles...
'It's not a wall!' He pulls back a little and looks up, and he's seen the most handso man in all of his 16 years of existence.
"...What do you think you're doing with my daughter, hmm?"
"... I-..."
"Indeed... That's sothing I'd like to know too."
"...!?" Noku turns to the voice and sees a blond, blue-eyed man who looks like he's out of a dieval tale.
When he saw the two tall n looking at him with a predatory gaze, he felt like a fawn deer standing in front of two full-grown lions.
And like a deer, he couldn't help but cringe when he saw these two lions.
...
"...Hmm, I don't really know what to say about this sight." Eve comnted while looking at Victor and Vlad, who were 'peacefully interrogating' a teenager.
"They are very overprotective..." Kaguya comnted as she looked at Nero and Ophis, who completely ignored the two n.
"How many tis has this happened?" Eve asked.
"Fifteen tis, counting this boy sixteen."
"... This is too much."
"Indeed..."
"Ophis is just a child... I wonder what will happen in the future." Eve comnted.
"Well, both of them are going to have quite a headache."
"Mainly related to the gods." Kaguya comnted on this because she knew how the gods acted when they wanted sothing, and beauty was sothing they always wanted.
"... Leaving that aside... He's the king of all vampires, right...?"
"Yes."
"…So he is equal to my master?"
"Yes."
"..." A silence fell around Eve.
"...These humans are really unlucky."
"You can say that..." Kaguya flashed a small smile. These humans chose to go out and hit on the most beloved daughter of two progenitors; if that isn't called bad luck…
Kaguya couldn't tell what was.
...
A few minutes later, Victor and Vlad were sitting on a bench in a square a bit far from the city.
Victor used his charm powers and drove away all the humans around, so the only people who were around were Eve, Kaguya, Nero, and Ophis.
Nero and Ophis were playing together, Kaguya and Eve were a little apart, and they were talking about topics unrelated to the current situation.
'...She ended up getting along a little well with Kaguya...' Victor thought as he looked at Ophis.
"I'm curious."
"Hmm?" Victor made a sound to indicate he was listening.
"Why did you go out of your way to help Ophis?"
"..." His eyes left Eve and went toward Ophis.
"A father doesn't need reasons to protect his children." He repeated what he had said to Alexios.
"..." Vlad stared at Victor's face for a few milliseconds and saw that he didn't have any kind of deception or ulterior motives. He really ant what he said.
"You really delved into the role of father, huh."
"What can I say? From the mont she called dad, I was ready to burn the world for her."
"..." Vlad was silent again, and he looked at Ophis.
'It's the sa feeling, huh... But his is purer than mine.' Vlad felt a little jealous of Victor now because he couldn't think in that pure way.
Ophis is his beloved daughter, the daughter of the woman he loved most, but... his feelings of worry are mixed with feelings of conquest and possession.
After all, she is part of your 'treasure'.
Because of that, he felt a little jealous of Victor, who could only feel a unique and genuine feeling of concern for his daughter.
'...Is this your unborn human trait?' Vlad thought it was very possible.
After all, his upbringing as a noble vampire was very different from Victor, who was born to loving, human parents.
With just that dialogue, he also realized sothing.
'As long as Ophis exists, he will never beco my enemy completely.'
"..." Once again, he felt that bad feeling in his heart.
A feeling I've never felt before.
He felt slightly disgusted with himself for thinking pros and cons now... But he couldn't help it... He was a king before he was a father.
And that ntality has been part of him for a long ti.
"Is that your daughter?" He looked at the child who was next to his daughter and playing with her. Even though the two were just talking, he had never seen his daughter express so many emotions to other people.
'She seems very close to that girl...'
"Yeah, her na is Nero, but you probably already know."
"Indeed."
"How does it feel to have the beauty of a man who was considered the most handso man in the world, even by the standards of the gods?"
"..." Victor displayed a small smile, he easily sensed the trap contained in Vlad's words, but he knew that those words were also a trap in their own right.
After all, the older vampire could already deduce what happened to him with a single glance.
Vlad is no fool, and Victor knows that very well.
"To be honest, not much has changed...-" Victor stopped when he rembered the reaction of Scathach, Kaguya, and even won who were immune to his charm before.
"Actually, it's quite a gift." He laughed at the end.
"..." Vlad leans against the bench, and while watching his daughter playing, he said:
"I wonder why you don't wear a mask."
"Why would I wear that shit?" Victor raised an eyebrow.
"Beauty can be a nuisance sotis."
"Nah, that's bullshit."
"...People started looking for trouble with you just because you're prettier than them."
"Wow, who is the idiot?"
"Gods."
"Well, they have a very inflated ego."
"Not to ntion won will try to rape you."
"Who is the whore?"
"Gods."
"Bruh."
"List so of these bitches for to blacklist."
"Hmm... Aphrodite, Freya, Persephone, Frigga, Hera, Sif, and a few hundred thousand more, I'd be talking nas here for you all day."
"... Why are most of them from the Norse and Greek pantheon?"
"They are the most degenerate."
"...." Victor didn't know what to say about that.
"Wait, aren't Hera and Frigga goddesses of marriage?"
"Yes...?"
"Aren't they bound by their divinity or sothing?"
"...Of course not, they are not restricted to your divinity. Their divinity is sothing akin to a dogma, but that does not restrict them."
"For example, if Hera wants to, she can betray Zeus, but she doesn't because it would go against what she believes in."
"Hmm… h, who cares about the Greek gods?"
"...Oh? You seem to have so conflict with them."
"You know about Adonis, right."
"...I see. It looks like you've inherited your grudges."
"Not just him. A certain Maid of mine wants Athena and Poseidon's head on a stake..." Victor's eyes glead slightly blood red, and his smile grew a little, "And I will grant that wish."
'...Hahaha~, a vampire who's not even 500 years old is thinking about fighting the gods... I think only he has that kind of privilege.' Even though in Vlad's mind, he thought that would be impossible.
He felt that if it's Victor, maybe he could do what he said, considering that this man always surprises everyone.
"In that case, when the war cos, call too."
"Oh...?" Victor looked at Vlad.
"What happened?"
"I have a certain... problem with cupid."
"Eros..."
"Yes."
Thinking of Eros, Victor can more or less guess the problem Vlad had with Cupid, but until he had concrete information, it was all speculation on his part.
"Isn't Eros the son of Aphrodite and Ares?"
"Yes, even though that goddess had so many children with many different n, I wouldn't be surprised if half of the demigods and lesser gods were hers."
'If I'm not mistaken, she had a child with her son Cupid? Although I've heard in the past that she hid this child…' Vlad thought to himself.
"Well, are you ready to fight the god of war?" Victor asked with a small smile.
"You got sothing wrong."
"Oh?"
"It is the god of war that must prepare to fight ."
Victor opened his eyes wide, and then he laughed:
"...Hahahaha~."
"Indeed, indeed. He who must prepare!" Victor nodded several tis.
"Although it won't be just him, Aphrodite probably won't sit back and watch one of her children die... even though she has many."
"h, even though she's a titan, she's still weak."
"Oh...? You seem to have ways around your troubled existence." Victor spoke in disdain as he rembered Aphrodite's irritating power.
"…It seems you already contacted her."
"Tell about it. Her entire existence makes my body shake with disgust."
"That's because your blood knows that if she wants to, you beco submissive to her, and your body willingly rejects her existence."
"I know." Victor said that, but he himself didn't like to feel powerless in front of that woman. She has the power to turn any existing being into her slave.
"...Hmm, I'll give you a hint."
"Oh? Are you feeling generous now?"
"Nah, I should just reward you for protecting my daughter, even though that should be my job."
"..." Victor was silent since he didn't have much to comnt on this matter. After all, what he did for Ophis, he would do it again no matter how many tis it took.
"The key to dealing with Aphrodite is her soul."
"...Soul?"
"Indeed...Rember that she is also a titan." Vlad flashed a small smile, "And that's not just a title since she was, in fact, born from the severed sack of Uranus."
"Soul... Titan... Soul, huh?" Victor opened his eyes a little as he seed to have understood sothing.
'... Well, that was fast.' Vlad rolled his eyes a little. He expected Victor to suffer more ti thinking about that: 'But maybe this was expected? He has the power of lightning, and when he absorbed Adonis, he must have gained so improvent in his brain. After all, the sa thing happened to in the past... His ability to process thoughts must be very high now.'
"Well...thanks for that."
"You welco."
"...I will not apologize for killing your grandchildren."
"h, they were a waste of air. If you didn't do it, I would."
"Also, I was blad for getting you stuck on Earth."
"...." Victor opened his eyes a little.
'Did he just admit it?' He had the mories of Adonis and, therefore, knew this man was arrogant as hell, he would never admit he did anything wrong, and if he did admit it, it's because he'd actually co to think about it.
'Has Ophis' problem affected him in any way?" Victor couldn't put the pieces together that made the vampire king speak those words.
"Although I won't apologize for it." Vlad flashed a small smile.
"..." Victor's eyes fluttered slightly, but he managed to keep his pokerface.
"After all, you killed my grandchildren. Let's say we're even."
"Sureee..." Victor rolled his eyes.
"Hey, it's not like I killed anyone in your family."
"Hmm, you're right about that." Victor touched his chin.
"I have a question."
"Hmm?"
"Do you think you will continue to rule forever?"
"..." Vlad's eyes narrowed.
"What do you an by that?"
"Don't look at like that. My interest in becoming a king is equal to my interest in Aphrodite."
"That is… Zero."
"..." Vlad flashed a small smile. For so reason, he could see a pink-haired woman taking an invisible arrow through her pride now.
After all, he knew how much she liked handso n, and having a handso man say that about the most beautiful goddess… It definitely hit her pride.
"The reason for my question is simple." Victor looked at Vlad.
"You've been in power only God knows how many years."
"And if there's one thing I've learned from history, it's that...
"...No King Rules Forever."
