Chapter 849: Alpha among Alphas. When the golden light disappeared, a woman who was 2 meters tall appeared. She had a long black wolf tail with golden striped patterns resembling tattoos. Stripes appeared all over her body, concentrating on her face where they seemed to form 'wolf-like features'. Her eyes narrowed, her ears grew more prominent, and her body became more defined and larger, Just like her long black hair, which became wilder and grew down to her knees. Overall, the change was not very different from her previous form, but... Everyone here with keen senses could tell the difference. The small differences in appearance were not important, but rather the inner change. "A Wolf Goddess, huh... And to think she would acquire a new Divinity related to an entire Race and its Subspecies," Victor chuckled. "She's like Lilith now, isn't she? The Goddess of an entire Race." "Not exactly. They're similar, but they're not the same." "Before becoming a Goddess, Lilith was The Progenitor of Demons, and when she became a Goddess, she became the Goddess of Demons, with absolute Authority over Demons if she wishes." It was because of this status that Victor made various plans to keep Lilith close to him. Yes, from the beginning, she never had a chance to escape him. Fortunately, the Goddess was no longer interested in ruling and merely wished to enjoy life. "Meanwhile, Tasha is only the Goddess of Wolves, not their Progenitor..." Victor stopped speaking and widened his eyes. "Victor...?" Scathach looked at Victor in confusion. Seeing his facial expression, she looked at Tasha but felt or saw nothing. 'What is he seeing?' Scathach wondered. "Now, this is interesting." "And to think something like this could happen," Maya said with a shocked expression. "I told you she was more qualified," Victor just smiled. The changes that Victor and Maya felt began to manifest in reality. Maya's golden tattoos began to cover her body and shimmered in gold. In the next moment, most of the tattoos disappeared, leaving only the wolf features on her face. Tasha looked at her fist and smiled. "He was right... You were limiting me, Volk." "You... You... How is this possible!?" Volk exclaimed in shock. "I am more qualified than you, isn't that obvious?" Silence fell around them, veins began to bulged on Volk's head, and then a burst of Power erupted from him. "That's impossible!" "You? More qualified than me!? Nonsense! I am The KING of Werewolves!" He began to shout as he crawled towards Tasha. "Father, can you explain what is happening?" Metis asked seriously and then blushed when she realized what she had said. Victor smiled at Metis, making the Dragon Goddess even more embarrassed. "Very well, my 'Daughter.'" "Ugh, please stop messing with me. It was just a slip of the tongue." Victor didn't comment on it, nor did he make any promises; he simply said, "Just as I evolved from a normal Human to the Progenitor of Vampires at the beginning..." "The same has just happened to Tasha." "... Huh? How is that possible?" Scathach asked. "She doesn't have the special blood, right?" "Yes, she doesn't." "So how?" Instead of answering the question, Victor said the following sentences: "In each Era, the Progenitor of a Race is born. There cannot be two Progenitors of the same Race in the same Era." "Do these phrases sound familiar to you?" "Yes, I've heard them many times in the past," Scathach replied before continuing, "…Don't tell me." "Yes, that's what happened." "The requirement to become The Progenitor of Werewolves was already with Tasha and Volk, but only when one defeated the other did The 'Balance' decide which was more suitable." Honestly, this insight shattered everything for Victor as he realized that the 'Balance' had more 'awareness' than he had expected. At his current level of strength, he couldn't tell if it was The System itself that decided to assist Tasha or if it was another Primordial Entity, as was the case with the Witches. He didn't know what it was. But he knew that there had been external interference. Originally, to become The Progenitor, you needed a requirement: RH Null Blood, the same blood Victor had as a Human in the past, the 'Golden Blood' that Vampires loved as a delicacy. This was the requirement for both Werewolves and Vampires to become a Progenitor, which, logically speaking, was quite strange. How could two opposing and different Races have the same requirement to become something greater? The only explanation could be that they came from the same source, the same planet, which meant they shared similar characteristics. But even this explanation lacked consistency; after all, Werewolves and Vampires were not the same. They were polar opposites of each other. But in this case, Demons and Angels were also polar opposites of each other, and they came from the same source thousands of years ago. Some older Demons had been Angels, like Paimon, who was once an Angel and became a Demon. Maybe it was the same case with Werewolves and Vampires? Perhaps, on their original planet, they had a situation similar to that of Angels and Demons. Victor didn't know; he didn't know any of this. That's why he could only make assumptions based on what he discovered. As he looked at Tasha, these thoughts appeared in Victor's mind in a split second. With his unique eyes, he could clearly see that the woman had become an Entity similar to Medusa and Lilith. She had become a complete Progenitor, and her Soul was refining and changing visibly, a sight only those with senses similar to Victor's could see. "Interesting... We really are opposites of each other," Victor realized that Tasha's Soul properties were different from his. While his was about absorbing and accumulating, hers was about dispersing and dissipating. What did this mean? It was simple; while his Soul stored Souls for him to use later, and he could use that Authority to manipulate Souls and Blood, Tasha was simpler. existed in the form of making herself an unparalleled existence. Her Soul existed to 'expel' Power, and the more followers she had, the more of her She didn't interact with others like he did but rather within herself. Her Powers existed in the form of making herself an unparalleled existence. Her Soul existed to 'expel' Power, and the more followers she had, the more of her Power was 'expelled'. Her Energy didn't exist in her body, but in each Being she commanded as an Alpha. Think of it like a hive; Tasha is the Queen, and ALL her followers contribute Power to her. Unlike a normal Wolf, she didn't lose Power when one of these followers died, instead she only lost a percentage of her Power Boost. If Tasha's base strength was listed as 0%, by adding a follower, that strength increase became a few percentage points higher. Even if that follower died, her base strength wouldn't decrease like other Alphas, who could become as weak as a Beta if they lost all their followers; she would simply return to 0%. 'Well, she's the Progenitor, so it wouldn't make sense for her to go into the negatives since she can create more Werewolves, even Alpha Werewolves, if she wishes,' Victor thought. Strength in numbers was the characteristic of Werewolves; they were a pack. Individual strength was the characteristic of Vampires; they were more selfish Beings. Neither of them was wrong, but honestly, Victor preferred the characteristics of Vampires. Having his Power depend on millions of other Beings was completely senseless to him. "Although, it's not like she can't become stronger on her own... She could become so strong that if she loses followers, her Power won't decrease as much with power-ups." Now that Victor had stopped to think carefully, wasn't this completely broken? The more Tasha's society developed and had more members, the stronger she would become. This ability really seemed like his ability to absorb Souls, but while Victor had to kill someone and absorb their Soul, Tasha merely had to create another Being and make it stronger. They were truly opposites of each other. There was also an interesting fact that Victor noticed: the moment she became a Progenitor, a bond was automatically created with all Werewolves. And when he said ALL, he meant exactly that: ALL Werewolves, whether they were rogues, those who didn't follow her, or even those who were unaware of her existence, automatically became her 'Beta.' Looking at the thousands of 'threads' connecting to Tasha's Soul, Victor once again realized that they were opposites of each other. "King? You Are No King." With a gleam in her eyes, Tasha exerted her new influence and silenced Volk. "You are just a child with delusions of power." Tasha pointed her hand at Volk, and an invisible force took hold of his body. [Roxanne.] [Yes, Darling... She's using Positive Energy. It seems my sister is fully supporting her now.] Just as it happened with Fenrir, Aurora seemed to be fully supporting Tasha now. 'Well, from the beginning, Werewolves had a connection to The World Tree. The woman simply expanded that connection to Tasha due to her new status,' Victor thought, finding this development logical. "A power that no longer belongs to you." With her left hand, Tasha began to 'pull' something from Volk. ....
