Chapter 921: Small and big changes. 2
"Satisfied?" A more mature voice resonated around.
"WHO ARE YOU!?" They all exclaimed at the same time! After all, the change was too drastic! She looked like a completely different person!
"Ugh, because of this, I hid my appearance," Kaguya sighed, and even though this gesture was quite monotone and lifeless, it was somehow very seductive.
"Again, who are you!?" They all exclaimed again.
Their reaction was understandable, after all, Kaguya had never displayed this seduction in her behavior before.
"...Amazing! Boss, you've become AMAZING!" Maria jumped excitedly while looking Kaguya up and down.
"These parts have become 'Sugoi' too... I wonder if she's rivaling Mizuki now," Roberta spoke while looking at a certain area on Kaguya's body.
Kaguya covered her assets and looked closely at Roberta.
"...Don't look at me like that... For some reason, it's exciting," Roberta felt her body warming up, which she found very strange since she didn't like women, she liked Victor, so why was she feeling this way?
"Pervert," Kaguya murmured.
"I am, and proud of it!" Roberta tapped her chest. "But that's not it, you have something strange, what is this sensation?"
"Fufufufu, to think that our most diligent maid would enter this realm," Violet smiled.
"What are you talking about, Violet?" Sasha asked.
"Idiot, look with your eyes, you'll understand," Violet said, not just to Sasha but to all the girls.
"Oh..." The girls thought that they needed to get used to using their eyes to see the world more as it truly is.
Looking at Kaguya with their draconic eyes, they all could understand.
"Traces of divinity, huh..." Natashia murmured, something that was heard by everyone. "Probably related in some way to a domain of lust?"
"I think it's related to attraction," Carmila suggested. "I remember that if Aphrodite doesn't control herself, we would feel like Roberta just felt."
"Hmm..." The girls made sounds as if they were thinking about something.
Kaguya felt uncomfortable being watched like a rare animal; she wasn't a panda, okay? She didn't like that kind of attention.
The door opened again, and this time a woman with long white hair and golden eyes emerged, surrounded by a woman with green hair and two women with black hair.
"Nyx, Gaia, Mother, Persephone... Are you finished?"
"Yes," Agnes spoke for the group. "Victor is currently helping Hestia and Velnorah, and they seem to have more difficulty dealing with their new dragon side."
"...That's surprising; I never thought Velnorah would have trouble with anything," Violet said.
"In her words... I'm simply not used to all these emotions on the surface," Agnes spoke as if she were the exact copy of Velnorah.
"It seems our emotionless ally is discovering intense emotions, huh."
"Yes," Agnes nodded.
"Oya..."
Kaguya shivered when she heard a sudden seductive voice next to her.
"Aphrodite... Don't startle me."
"Fufufufu, I'm sorry. I just felt something interesting and came to check it out," Aphrodite looked at Haruna, who was sitting silently with her eyes closed; she looked at Mizuki, Helena, Vine, Vaper, Lily, who were in the same position as Haruna.
Then she looked at Kaguya. "It seems we'll have new dragon gods at some point in the future, that's good."
"Oh...?" Ruby looked at the women Aphrodite had looked at and made some mental notes.
"Aline, help me with something."
"Yes?" Aline, who was playing with a snowflake in her hand, looked at Ruby curiously.
Victor's demon ladies had few changes in appearance; the only visible changes were their eyes, wings, and horns. They also gained a bit more height and more defined bodies.
Other than that, nothing really changed visually; they still had their exotic appearances.
"What are you planning, Ruby?"
"I want to make some plans for the new gods who will be born..." Ruby and Aline began to talk as they floated out towards their laboratory.
"A system to use the information we received from Velnorah more efficiently, so the new gods can use it as a reference and progress further in their divinity."
"...Oh, that's quite clever; I support it. Let's develop them... Shall we use the Orb?"
"It's time to revolutionize that technology... Let's make something more like Velnorah's."
"An interactive holographic bracelet?"
"Connected to a large server system... Let's create an AI too." Ruby smiled widely, her new brain working much faster than a supercomputer.
"I like the sound of that, fufufufu."
Persephone rolled her eyes at Ruby and Aline's maniacal laughter.
"I hope Sis doesn't become a Reed Richards; that would be catastrophic," Pepper said as she watched her sister's behavior.
"Don't worry, Victor will always keep an eye on her." Lacus dismissed Pepper's concern.
"Mm."
Persephone and Nyx looked at two specific women sitting in the corner of the room near a table; that area of the room seemed quite somber.
"Why are you in this depressive silence?"
"We're contemplating life," Tasha murmured.
"Sometimes, difficult choices appear before us, and we don't know how to proceed," Lilith said.
The problem for the two women was simple: seeing the drastic change in the group's power and how they had become stronger, they wanted to become dragons too, they wanted to get stronger! But they also didn't want to lose their status as Progenitors.
For Lilith, her status as a Progenitor is something that is a part of who she is, so she doesn't want to change that.
For Tasha, the problem is more complex; she is the Progenitor of a race that she has to care for, and she can't abandon her duties, so despite wanting to get stronger, she is also thinking about her people.
"...Haah... What a dilemma." The two sighed at the same time.
Persephone and Nyx just shook their heads and decided not to poke this beehive.
The door opened again, and this time Scathach appeared alone.
"You called me, Violet?"
"Yes, your teacher, Dun Scaith, is currently in Nightingale wanting to meet with Victor."
"...Eh?" Scathach's brain stopped functioning with this news; of all the things she expected to hear from Violet, this definitely wasn't one of them.
Violet looked at Aphrodite, "Accompanying her is currently the strongest goddess, Kali."
"The most badass goddess is here...!?" An excited smile appeared on Aphrodite's face, "I need to meet her!"
Aphrodite appeared near Scathach and took the woman's hands.
"Let's go, Scathach!"
"W-Wait." She didn't have time to say anything because they both disappeared shortly after.
Violet smiled lightly when she saw this development, then she looked at Gaia, "Your most beloved son is in berserker mode in your personal house; he entered this state upon feeling the change in his being."
"...I will see him." Gaia sighed as she disappeared.
"Anyway..." Just as Violet was about to say something else, Victor, Velnorah, Hestia, and Zaladrac appeared in the room.
"Darling!"
"Yo, I heard something interesting; I'm going to find them." Just as suddenly as he appeared, he also disappeared suddenly.
"...Sometimes, he's very random," Sasha commented.
"Mm," Violet agreed, looking around and searching for Kaguya but not finding her. 'Sneaky woman,' she thought internally as she realized Kaguya had followed Victor.
The women subtly looked at Velnorah and Hestia.
The goddess of the hearth had her flaming red hair... Well, flaming? Naturally on fire? It was hard to explain what it was, but it seemed that the flame she had protected so dearly had merged with her.
And Velnorah... Well, the woman had become 'amazing' in various ways.
"Sugoi Dekai..." Pepper unconsciously muttered as she saw the woman gain a few more inches in height; everything about her was big... Well, proportionate to her size, everything about her was proportional.
"Incredibly big? Huh?" Translating Pepper's words, Velnorah became completely confused about what she was talking about.
"You're not cultured enough to understand," Pepper said upon seeing the woman's confused face.
"...Okay." Velnorah simply accepted it; she had long since realized that the women around Victor were not completely normal, so she wouldn't try to understand something incomprehensible.
"Hestia... You..." Violet pointed at her hair.
"Don't point that out; I know... I also didn't expect the flame to merge with me like this." Hestia sighed as her long red hair floated around.
"Try to focus the flame inside your body; that should reduce energy loss," Amaterasu advised.
"Mm." Hestia did so, and in the next moment, her hair returned to normal, but just like Amaterasu's hair, people around could tell that her hair was VERY hot.
The door opened again, and this time a woman with long black hair, blood-red eyes, black horns with hints of violet with the same color tone going to her wings entered. She wore a long red and black dress, and her appearance was VERY similar to the man who had just left.
Even though she hadn't changed much and had only become more defined, the woman had something that required everyone's attention.
Immediately, all the women in the room were automatically drawn to the woman in a clearly supernatural way.
Violet, Ruby, Sasha, Haruna, Nyx, Amaterasu, Agnes, Natashiam, Naty, and Carmila narrowed their eyes slightly when they felt a subtle manipulation coming from the woman.
"Hmm, where's Victor?"
"He just left, Anna," Maria replied almost automatically, and she was just as surprised as anyone when she gave an immediate response; she clearly didn't want to say that.
Anna raised an eyebrow when she saw Maria's response and her confused expression. "...I'm sorry," she said when she understood what she had unconsciously done.
"Incredible... This is so strong that it even affected us," Natashia murmured.
Anna made an ironic smile; her power of honesty had reached levels she couldn't even Anna retracted her presence, and soon that sensation disappeared completely from everyone's bodies.
"It's okay," Maria replied.
"Mm." Anna simply nodded.
"Incredible... This is so strong that it even affected us," Natashia murmured.
Anna made an ironic smile; her power of honesty had reached levels she couldn't even quantify, but one thing was correct: in her presence, no one could lie if she so wished.
The nature of her powers was so strong that not even she could lie to herself if she didn't make a great effort. But that wasn't all; upon transforming into a dragon, she gained a ridiculous affinity with runes.
"Let's train; we need to control our powers better. I think the forest is a good place." She spoke aloud as she suggested.
Suddenly, the whole setting changed, and the girls were thrown into the forest.
"Huh!?" Various sounds of confusion were heard.
"What happened? Were we forcibly teleported?" Naty asked.
Anna's lips trembled when she saw this. 'I thought I had controlled this... Ugh, I need Victor's help.'
Her affinity with runes had reached the point that even if she spoke something random, it could actually happen in reality, as it had just now. This Draconic rune affinity completely surpassed users who trained for it.
Because compared to users who train for it, Anna is simply natural. If she speaks and wishes for something, it can happen in reality.
It seems that her entire existence revolves around the power of speech, and to be honest, the reason she thinks so is that she didn't awaken any elemental affinity or even control creation on a smaller scale like true dragons.
In terms of an RPG, it's as if her character had been completely reset, and all her points were allocated to charisma and speech; if she rolls the dice in charisma tests, the guarantee of success is more than 96%.
"Hmm, I'm sorry; it seems I'm not able to control myself very well yet," Anna said with an apologetic expression.
Seeing Anna's powers, Violet's line from the future cannot help but echo in Violet's head: "If Darling exercises the principle of domination. We exercise the principle of control. Domination cannot exist without control. Control cannot exist without domination."
"What is this power Anna?"
"Runes. I have a huge affinity with that." She explained while trying to say as little as possible about things that can be summoned.
"...Can runes distort reality?" Pepper asked in disbelief.
"Pepper, you're not attending classes, are you?" Lacus scolded her sister.
"...Ugh, i-i... Yes." Pepper sighed as she admitted, in her defense, she didn't see the point in studying it, after all, she can't use it! She even tried in the past, but she always ended up falling asleep. But... that was something that needed to change, after all, all true dragons had affinities with draconic runes.
'Control and domination... Huh... I understand a little now.' Violet smiled slightly, she approached Anna and held the woman by the shoulder.
"You heard the woman, let's train, we can't have a lack of control over our abilities, you don't want to embarrass our husband when we go out publicly, and we can't control our powers, right?"
Suddenly the whole playful, welcoming atmosphere became serious.
The answer to Violet's question? They all had the same answer:
"Of course not!"
"Then let's train."
"Yes!"
