[The wielder’s understanding of has increased, raising his rank…] Ignoring the system’s voice, Victor looked at his new Daughter. Using the analogy of games, this girl, just like him, had all her points focused on one area, with her’s being Intelligence and Wisdom and a unique quality called ’Understanding of Energy’. She was a monster just like him in a specific field. "But it’s still not enough…-" Victor’s eyes shone. This talent alone and his resources could take her even further than Merlin, but he wanted more. All of his Daughters had the best talents and potential in their field, even being able to Master subjects they never understood before with enough effort. This girl… No: "Melida Charlotte Elderblood" Words had Power, especially words spoken by one of the most powerful Gods in existence, like Victor, and words spoken with intentions had even more Power than normal, and that’s what Victor did now. He gave Power to his Daughter’s name. "My Daughter in name, and from now on…" Victor’s violet Power covered Charlotte’s body, and her body began to change. Like a larva leaving its cocoon and becoming a butterfly, Charlotte was once again reborn, this time under Victor’s complete influence. Her body grew to 180 cm tall, and her hair became dark with the same shade as Victor’s hair. The girl’s eyes opened, and Jeanne and Kaguya, who were watching everything, saw that the girl’s eyes were very different from Victor’s Daughters. Instead of a bright violet like her Sisters, she had a kaleidoscope for eyes that were constantly changing between violet, red, and blue, while sometimes these colors would mix and create new colors. The change in the girl’s eyes seemed to reflect the different types of Energy that were within her body. With Kaguya and Jeanne’s senses, they could feel the Miasma of Hell, the Light of The Angels, Divinity, Positive and Negative Energy of the World Trees, and even Magic within her Domain. Her horns darkened to black with shades of dark violet, and her wings expanded behind her, effectively shattering the Creation Chamber. As she fell to the ground, now free, she took a breath, and the moment she made that simple gesture, all the Energy in the area was sucked into her breath and entered her body. "My Daughter in blood." "..." Jeanne looked on in shock as she saw the Primordial Energy she controlled heading towards the girl as well. Although the amount was not very large by her standards, it was still surprising that a ’newborn’ could do this. ’Not even my Daughter was able to do this at birth. It was only possible later when she trained. This is the difference between a normal talent and a monstrous talent, huh?’ Jeanne now understood a little of what Scathach had meant in the past. Rather than being jealous or envious of this like those normal Humans would, she was overjoyed. Her Family had become stronger, and the addition of Charlotte would give a new understanding of Energies to everyone in the Family. ’The Empress’s decision was correct after all.’ Jeanne couldn’t help but think. Charlotte’s eyes changed color several times until they eventually settled on her Father’s crimson violet. With this change, the Energy they sensed in her eyes became the same as her Father’s. She was effectively imitating him. Although there were traces of mixed Energies in the Miasma in Charlotte’s hair, she clearly couldn’t imitate him perfectly. "Dadd-... Father." A soft, clear, and gentle voice resounded, as her own voice seemed to contain a sense of captivation. "Heh~, you inherited my voice." Victor smiled widely. It was worth mentioning that few of his Daughters inherited his magnetic voice. This was one of the Progenitor’s characteristics, after all, and when he said ’few’, he meant that only his Daughter with Anna inherited this characteristic. It was so rare for his Daughters to have characteristics of his Powers as a Progenitor. For example, so far, no one in the Family had inherited his innate ability to control Souls. It was just that rare. "Mm." She nodded gently as she watched how her Father controlled the Energy around him and imitated him to make herself armor just like his, but a female version. Like a newborn copying everything their parents did, Charlotte began to imitate even more, her black hair darkening even more to the properties of the pure Miasma of Hell. Feeling slightly incongruous in looking at her immensely tall Father from such a low vantage point, she used her Powers to grow to the size of her present Family. Settling at a height of 4.75 M, feeling satisfied that she was no longer small, she continued to observe him. Victor let her do whatever she wanted and smiled in satisfaction. The way she controlled Energy was unlike anything he had seen, even more different from what he had observed in Merlin. To put it in comparison, Victor used the existing Energy that he transferred to his body and changed it depending on his taste or even used the Energies contained in his body to do so. Charlotte was different, transforming the ’attributeless’ Energy into the properties she wanted and used. Victor assumed this ’attributeless’ Energy to be the Origin in which all Energy was derived, even Primordial Energy. [Individual has understood a part of the-...] Victor completely ignored the voice of The System. His current focus was on the discoveries he was making, and the more he observed, the more he learned. Unlike his Daughter, who had only recently been born, he had hundreds of references from the past, so he only needed a push, a glimpse, a burst of inspiration... In just two minutes, something essential changed in Victor. [Darling...? What are you-] Roxanne’s voice was cut off as Victor’s entire Soul began to tremble, and his entire Inner World began to be reformed. These effects appeared in Reality as well. A pulse of Energy exploded from Victor and spread everywhere, Energies such as Divinity, Miasmas, Positive Energy, Negative Energy, Natural Energy, and several others that Victor controlled spread throughout his Domains. ... The Universal Tree, who was currently enjoying Elvenorah’s delicious food as a treat from Jeanne, suddenly stopped eating upon feeling a pulse of Energy containing various different Energies. He looked towards ’ground zero’, where it began and couldn’t help but say: "...Really?" The man couldn’t help but let out a small smile that eventually turned into an infectious laugh. "HAHAHAHAHAHAH!" "I really do forget how absurd that man is sometimes. And to think, just by observing his new Daughter, he would make such a discovery." Opening The System panel, the man smiled when he saw it. [Rank 10: < Chaos>] "A Being from the Intermediate Sectors who hasn’t even entered the Upper Worlds already has such a great understanding of how things work... I wonder how those above him will react when the barrier between the Sectors breaks down." If it were before, The Universal Tree would be worried, but after Victor’s actions toward his countless daughters, he began to respect him even more and wished to help him. All the planets that contained his daughters in this Galaxy, and in the next ones, would eventually be protected by Victor, and this filled his heart with joy. In the past, he could only close his eyes and leave the fate of his daughters in their own hands. After all, that was how the Balance worked. Many young planets that contained his newborn daughters died at the hands of more powerful Beings in their quest for conquest. He understood that this must happen, but... How could a father watch his daughters being killed and not feel anything? Luckily, now he kind of had a ’champion’ who would ensure that all of them were safe and could grow up well. It was because of that, and because of his beloved sister’s request, that he kind of broke the rules of the Primordials of non-interference this time by reincarnating Merlin as one of Victor’s Daughters. He’d done it in a way that no one would suspect. Even The System didn’t point out anything wrong with his actions, so the other Primordials still didn’t know anything. "Fufufu, I wonder what he’ll do next, I’ll be watching." He laughed amusedly as he asked for more food. ... Victor’s immense Energy began to rise steadily. It hissed, and hissed... it grew a little more until... No one felt anything anymore. Like a blackout that happened in large cities, the Energy suddenly disappeared as if it never existed. "...Huh?" Kaguya and Jeanne looked at Victor in confusion. Their senses told them that the Energy had disappeared, but their instincts told them that this wasn’t the case, as the weight in Victor’s presence confirmed it. "...Pfft... hahahaha," Victor put his hand on his face and then began to laugh louder: "HAHAHAHAHA!" His Energy once again exploded in crimson violet and was felt throughout the Galaxy and beyond. This time, instead of scattered attributes, all of his Energy had only one single focus, the weight of the God-Emperor’s existence. It was as if the entire production of Energy within him had focused on a single attribute. Jeanne and Kaguya broke out in a cold sweat and fell to the ground, breathing deeply. If they, as Goddesses, were feeling so much weight, the Royal Guards and Victor’s Soldiers suffered worse. Fortunately, even in his euphoric state, Victor did not lose his control. He removed most of the weight of his Energy from his people... Because if he didn’t do this, the weight of his own existence would have evaporated everyone in his Empire, and only his Family would be left. Suddenly, all the Energy was completely cut off, and Victor felt as if he had no Energy at all, as if he had been crippled, which was far from the truth. Victor just hadn’t given any of his Energy ’form’ yet. "Kaguya!" "Y-Yes!?" "Tell Violet to get ready, I’ll pamper her for 2000 years straight!" "...Understood, who else should I call?" "Violet will go alone." Kaguya and Jeanne swallowed hard. Instead of being jealous of Violet, they were horrified for her. Usually, the Wives took turns dealing with Victor, or Victor himself stopped halfway so as not to leave them catatonic from so much pleasure and overwhelming love. ’Rest in peace, Violet.’ Jeanne thought. "Wait, Darling, you’re going to reward Violet, right?" Kaguya quickly asked. She understood what just happened. Victor went through an evolution that she didn’t understand, and he wanted to thank Violet for it with 2000 years of love. Knowing her Husband, he would pamper Violet in every way, and it wouldn’t be just sex. It would be affection, it would be constant care... It would be a death march of love. She needed to avoid the last part at all costs! Violet couldn’t handle it alone, so she gave her opinion when she felt Victor’s gaze: "Shouldn’t you do this for Jeanne too? After all, she helped too." "!?" Jeanne looked at Kaguya in horror. Victor looked at Jeanne. Like a deer caught in the headlights, Jeanne froze under Victor’s gaze. Victor gave a big, loving, and gentle smile that melted Jeanne completely. ’You know what? Dying from love and snu snu doesn’t seem like such a bad death.’ Jeanne was convinced. Anyway, her brother was the God of Reincarnation and Life! Even if she died, she could be revived! "You’re right." "As soon as you finish your duties today, meet me in the north of the planet. And pass this information to Violet as well." "Yes, Darling." Kaguya sighed in relief. "Mm... Difficult." Victor looked at Charlotte, his young Daughter, who gave him the inspiration he needed to completely change his perception of how he understood everything. Understanding what she was trying to do instinctively, Victor spoke: "My Daughter." "...Daddy?" She stopped trying to imitate what she had just witnessed from her Father and looked at him curiously. "You are doing it wrong. You should not force the Energy. You should let it flow to the state without attributes and then give it shape." Victor raised his finger and made a sphere, then transformed it into Miasma. Pure, unadulterated Miasma. Charlotte made a sphere of transparent Energy and repeated the process Victor had shown her. She concentrated immensely, but even with so much focus, other types of Energy still contaminated the sphere. "Difficult..." "You lack control. You should just take what you want. Mixing is good, but isolated Energies have better and purer effects." "Mm..." Watching Victor teach his Daughter, Jeanne, and Kaguya tried to replicate what he was saying, but... Every time they tried to create a sphere without attributes like he did, they just used the attributed Energy they already possessed. "???" Question marks appeared around them. They didn’t understand what was happening. With their Draconic Senses, they knew what Victor and Charlotte were doing, but knowing was different from ’fully understanding’ or instinctively understanding in Charlotte’s case. "Darling, can you explain what that recent explosion was?" Without losing focus on teaching his Daughter, he spoke: "Thanks to my Daughter, I was able to understand something fundamental about The Universe." "Everything has its Origin in what I call ’Attributeless’ Energy or ’Characterless Energy’. For example, in order for you to use the Energy of Nature, you must focus on that Energy in your body and use it, right?" "Yes, that’s how it works." "Not really. We are instinctively skipping several essential steps... Hmm, skipping them instinctively is the wrong way to explain it. I think the correct way to say it is that we were programmed this way so as not to put pressure on our existence and end up killing ourselves." "A method of instinctive self-protection, so to speak..." Victor reflected and then returned to the subject. "Continuing, the ideal steps are removing the characteristics of your Energy, making it Attributeless, and when you use it, you must transform it into exactly what you want." "Think of it as a blank piece of paper. You should always start with a blank piece of paper when starting something new. And when you put it to use, you should impart characteristics to this paper with your colours, to create the ideal depiction that you wish for. These colors are the various Energies spread throughout The Universe." "The paper is the canvas, the blank space that existed prior to The Universe, and Primordial Chaos was the painter. Everything that was painted on it would naturally originate from the initial blank paper. Because of this, when they say that the Energy of Chaos is The Beginning and The End of everything, that is an incorrect perception. It is not the ’Energy’ of Chaos, but rather the ’Being’ of Chaos, the Being that painted The Universe as we know it, using the Energy without characteristics to give characteristics to what we know as truth today." "This is what my Daughter was born instinctively knowing, and because of this instinct, her eyes are like a kaleidoscope. She does not have enough control yet to completely remove the attributes of her Energy like I do and add only what she wants." Being bombarded by a barrage of information, Kaguya and Jeanne were perplexed for a good two seconds. In the following seconds, they tried to reflect on Victor’s teachings and take this into consideration in comparison to what they had seen previously. But even they, as Dragon Goddesses, felt their brains burning trying to understand what they were hearing. The only one who understood most of what Victor said was Jeanne, but even she didn’t understand everything completely. Yes, she understood the analogy between the painter and the canvas, but she didn’t understand the deeper meaning behind it. Victor clearly said it that way to make it easier for them. It’s not just something simple. The Primordial Chaos painted The Universe, and the canvas he used is that Energy. But there was something she didn’t fully understand. It was as if Victor was a programmer, and he tried to explain the programming language he used to a layman using an analogy. The layman would understand superficially but not completely, like the programmer did. "All of your body’s Energies are without attributes. Is that why I’m not feeling anything from you?" Kaguya said. "Yes, and also because my reserves increased significantly after I ’exploded’ all of my stored Energy from my body, emptying my storage and filling it instead with the Energy without attributes." "Because of that, my Inner World is a mess, hahaha," Victor said in amusement as he ignored Amara and Roxanne’s complaints. He was simply too happy right now to care about that. "..." They were speechless. Victor’s reserves were already immense, and he’d increased it even more!? Was that even possible!? ’Of course, it’s possible, after all, it’s Darling.’ Kaguya sighed and gave up trying to imitate what Victor did. Trying to remove the ’Darkness’ from her Powers was like trying to remove a part of herself; it was ridiculously difficult. If she were to use a human analogy, it was like trying to speak your native language backward with the same naturalness you had when speaking normally. It was simply unnatural! "Gahhh! I can’t!" Charlotte grumbled. Victor patted his Daughter’s head and said gently: "Be patient, you won’t be able to do anything if you’re rushed and frustrated." Feeling her frustrations disappearing with Victor’s caresses, she nodded gently and actively brought her head closer to Victor’s hand. "Hmm~" Victor chuckled gently when he saw how much she enjoyed this. "I’m going to spend some time with my beloved Daughter. If you need anything, just come find me." "Let’s go, Kaguya." "Yes, Darling." Kaguya smiled. Jeanne sighed as the three individuals disappeared. She looked at the Creation Chamber, and with the distortion of Reality, she rewound the damage caused... Or at least, she tried to do so, because her Powers didn’t work. Narrowing her eyes, Jeanne focused more on her task, and the Creation Chamber returned to its previous state, but she saw that some parts were still damaged. ’... Don’t tell me that Energy without attributes has the property of negating the effects of other Energies?...No, negating is a wrong word. I think because they haven’t mixed yet due to my new Daughter, the machine can’t be fully influenced.’ Jeanne felt that her thoughts were wrong somehow and that this wasn’t exactly how what she had just observed worked. ’I need my Sisters on this.’ Jeanne immediately sent today’s report with a video taken from her memories and set it as a top priority for everyone to see as soon as possible. "Royal Guard, return to your posts." "Yes!" .....
