Chapter 634: Agnes and Violet's Changes.

The mother and daughter of the Snow Clan were in front of Victor, looking at him with serious faces.

"You guys know the effects of the Ritual, right?"

"Increases loyalty, we know," Violet spoke for Agnes.

"An effect that won't be a problem for us. After all, we're already loyal."

'And that's exactly the problem... With the Snow Clan's predisposition that further heightens emotions, and your personalities, you will become too loyal, a loyalty you only see in maniacs or fanatics...' Victor thought internally but didn't say it out loud.

The reason? Because he didn't hate that extreme loyalty; in fact, he liked it a lot. For him, the crazier, the more insane, and loyal, the better.

'... Fumu, I really have some problems in my head.'

[Hahahaha! Problem!? That's a quality, King! Don't despise yourself!] Alter Victor laughed insanely.

[After all, we like good women!]

'...Hmm, you're right.' Victor nodded in satisfaction. 'Wait, we?'

[Indeed, I am your Power after all; you are me, and I am you.]

Victor narrowed his eyes even more.

[Bruh, are you seriously getting jealous of yourself?]

'You're not me... Not completely, so yes. I'm jealous.'

[Ugh, now I really do think you have a problem.] Alter Victor grumbled and added, [You don't have to be jealous. After all, I'm a genderless Being, despite identifying as male because... Well, I'm you. But my interests are more aligned with struggle and power. After all, I am that part of your Soul, the part that desires power above all else, your ambition.]

[Therefore, King. You have to get stronger! I want to feel that heady feeling again! That feeling when you use our Power! HAHAHAHA~]

Victor pursed his lips internally; the quest for Power never seemed to end.

[Of course not! This desire is in our instinct! We fight, war, shed blood, and grow stronger! We are the Apex of our Species; we are at the top of the food chain!]

Victor rolled his eyes and ignored Alter Victor's voice, even though he agreed with him on some things. [Most of them.]

Victor looked at Agnes:

"The Ritual consists of giving my blood to you two, but you've already drunk my blood, so the blood is already in your bodies… At least in Violet's body."

The older woman flinched a little at Victor's predatory gaze as she felt her insides heat up from that gaze; it was so intense!

"As it's been a while since I gave you my blood, Agnes, the blood has already mostly dissolved, so you need to drink more; come here."

"..." Agnes looked at Victor for a few seconds in hesitation, but that hesitation died when her daughter nudged her arm.

She looked at her daughter and saw her saying with her eyes, 'What are you waiting for? Hurry up! We don't have all day!'

"..." Her lips squirmed a little, and she wondered how she could understand her daughter so well? Was it because they were so similar?

With an almost imperceptible little sigh, she started walking towards Victor. With each step she took toward that man, she felt her heart beat faster, like she was back in adolescence! A highly complex feeling.

Because, after all, if it were Agnes as a teenager, she would have already kidnapped Victor, locked him in her basement, and made him her lover...

And she wanted to do that, but she knew that if that happened, she would end up being the one sitting in the basement, not Victor.

After all, she could tell the man was quite strong in this kind of situation and could gain the upper hand easily.

'Although that situation is also welcome...' She displayed an imperceptible small perverted smile as she imagined herself in a basement and Victor' taking care' of her.

Violet, Sasha, Natashia, and Ruby rolled their eyes as they felt Agnes' emotions and lust; it was pretty obvious what she was thinking.

"Focus, Agnes."

Agnes opened her eyes wide when she heard Victor's voice. She had utterly forgotten that they could feel her emotions!

'Ugh, I'm not used to having this connection with multiple people.' She mumbled, still embarrassed.

Victor displayed a small smile, "You're really hopeless..." Then, Victor's body began to be covered by darkness again, and his armor changed into a black suit similar to the one he was wearing before.

"....." The girls looked at Kaguya with raised eyebrows, but when the Maid felt the girls' gaze, she just smiled.

A competent Maid should know her Master's wishes in any situation, and Kaguya knew everything there was to know about her Master.

She was indeed a hardworking Maid.

"You always lost yourself easily when it came to things you liked..." Victor gently hugged Agnes.

Agnes' body trembled involuntarily when she heard those nostalgic words:

"Vic..."

"It's like Vlad said. From the moment that event happened, he became a part of me. His life became mine, at least a part of it..."

"... What do you mean...?" Agnes' body shook even more, and she felt limp as she looked into Victor's violet eyes.

"I don't have Violet-related memories, as you know."

"...." Violet raised her eyebrow when she heard Victor say that.

"I wouldn't know what to do if I started seeing Violet as my 'daughter', so he didn't 'give' me those memories, and I didn't fight for them either..."

"..." Agnes was silent and didn't know how to react to this. It was all very confusing for her. The look he was giving, his gestures, his gentle voice, it was all the same with the man she once married, but while it was the same, it was also very different.

The intensity in his gaze, the intensity in the feelings that made her feel overwhelmed, the willingness to not remain submissive to Agnes' authority but to face her as an equal, was something else entirely.

He was the same, but at the same time, different.

And it was confusing!

'Ugh, I feel like I'm falling into that loop again! Why is everything complicated when it involves this man!? Can't things be simpler!?' Agnes lowered her gaze, and frustration surged through her body.

Unfortunately, things were never simple... Not with Victor.

Victor's gentle smile grew a little, and he hugged Agnes a little tighter than before. Thanks to his fight with Scathach, he could control his strength so as not to break the woman accidentally.

"Just look at it this way."

Agnes looked up into Victor's eyes.

"I am Victor, and at some point in my life, I received the memories of the man known as Adonis, and I lived his life as if I were him, but even though I received those memories and feelings, I am still Victor." He slowly brought his face closer to Agnes'.

Agnes opened her eyes a little in realization when she heard Victor's words, and her heart beat faster when she saw his face getting closer.

'He's going to kiss me!? Here!? In front of everyone!?' Her thoughts were getting more chaotic and...excited.

But to Agnes's disappointment, he stopped inches away from her face and spoke:

"Take your time to think about it. I will always wait but know that from the moment you decided to marry me; I will never let you get away from me."

Agnes was delighted by Victor's possessive, gentle, and loving tone, her feelings were in chaos at that moment, but all that chaotic rationality was thrown through the window when she saw Victor showing her his neck.

Immediately her gaze turned blood red, her fangs appeared, and she bit his neck!

Tink.

Sounds of two metals colliding were heard.

"Ugh..." Agnes felt pain in her teeth; the skin on his neck was very hard.

"Fufufu, did you forget about how tough my body is now? You need more than that if you want to pierce my body." Victor chuckled in amusement, and his smile grew even wider when he saw Agnes's sulky look.

"You tricked me!"

"... Eh? But I didn't say you could bite me~." He said with a shit-eating grin on his face.

'Seriously, this man is being very provocative! He is worse than Adonis! What did Aphrodite create!? Fuck!' Agnes began to get irritated at being denied something rightly 'hers'.

Victor chuckled in amusement as he felt Agnes' emotions; she really did have a severe case of bipolar disorder.

Victor raised two of his fingers, and those two fingers changed to become sharp claws, and he pierced his neck. The Strongest Shield can only be pierced by the Strongest Spear, and in this case, The Spear was The Shield itself. His body became a deadlier weapon than before.

Soon the smell of blood filled the entire room.

All the Vampires present took a big breath of air and unconsciously held their breath. It was a unanimous reaction! Everyone did it at the same time!

That smell was just too delicious!

They felt like they had been starving for several months, and the smell of food was suddenly experienced for the first time. It was intoxicating!

And the most affected by this smell were Agnes and Violet, who were closest to Victor. Their brain literally became a white screen, and at that moment, the blood dripping from his neck was the only thing visible to them.

Victor controlled his regeneration to prevent the hole he made in his own body from closing, a relatively easy feat. Since he'd gained this body, he could control his body much better alongside his racial abilities. Besides that, he could already shapeshift just as easily as Vlad.

"Come on, Honey."

Agnes wasted no time and started drinking the blood from Victor's neck.

Victor closed his eyes and felt the blood in Agnes's body strengthen.

'So it begins.' Victor's eyes began to glow blood red.

"… Huh?" That was Violet's reaction when she felt her body start to heat up; something was happening inside her.

"That's enough, Agnes." Victor moved away from Agnes and let his body regenerate.

"Ugh...~" Agnes hugged her body with both hands, and a red blush grew on her face as she looked at Victor with a lost, passionate, and possessive look, the same look that Violet was giving him now.

Victor ignored that since he was very focused on his work right now. Just like he did with Kaguya, he was making his blood change the girls' ancestry.

And since he was already somewhat proficient at it, thanks to Kaguya and the Maids that he transformed into Vampires, the effects did not take long to appear.

Soon two pillars of Fire burst from the two women and smashed against the roof's protection.

Scathach and Victor narrowed their eyes, and both raised their hand at the same time. A resistant layer of Ice then covered the entire place, and a transparent shield of Ice was created where the girls were.

The reason for the shield? The place was getting hotter with each passing second.

Master and student looked at each other for a few seconds and smiled when they realized they had the same reaction.

"Did the same thing happen to you, Kaguya?" Ruby asked.

"Yes, I couldn't control my power when the changes began." Kaguya raised her hand, and a ball of Fire appeared in her hand.

"That's..." Ruby and the girls next to her opened their eyes in shock.

"Correct, the Bloodline of the Snow Clan. My Master's Blood enhanced it, so I can now use both the Blank Clan's Shadows and the Snow Clan's Fire."

Scathach looked with interest at Kaguya's flames, "That means Victor's Blood increases the potential and potency of any Bloodlines in the receiver..."

"That is dangerous..." Ruby quickly realized the dangers of this information if it were leaked out.

"Indeed, now I understand why Victor didn't want to bring outsiders into the Clan," Sasha commented.

"..." The girls nodded in agreement with Sasha.

"I guess we should've expected this since Victor isn't exactly a normal Progenitor. After all, there has never been a Progenitor in history that merged with a World Tree." Jeanne spoke.

"The Energy that sustains a planet can add many variables; this is uncharted terrain for us." Jeanne finished.

"I wonder how his Bloodline will change us." Morgana commented with a maniacal look, "If it empowers existing Bloodlines, I hope my Demonic side gets stronger. If that happens, I can use my illusions in battle, too~."

"...." Jeanne opened her mouth to deny such a possibility but closed it at the same instant as she realized that such a thing could really happen.

'After all, Infernal Beings are the opposite of Gods. They are Evil Spirits, which means that if an Evil Being has a child with a Being of The Night like a Vampire, a Natural Hybrid will be born, and probably such an event can happen with the Power of a Progenitor as well.' Jeanne thought.

"Power up the dormant Bloodline, huh…." Natashia spoke with a twinkle in her eye.

"Are you thinking of our Ancestor?" Sasha asked.

"Yes." Natashia didn't deny it.

"I also had the same thoughts. If we could use the Lightning Spirit Power more, we would become much stronger than before." Sasha spoke.

Natashia just nodded her head.

"It's ending..." Scathach spoke with a neutral look.

The show of power lasted two full minutes, and when it was over, the two pillars of Fire disappeared as if they never existed; then Agnes and Violet appeared entirely without clothes, the way they came into the world.

Noticeable changes were not seen; they looked the same, but if you looked closely,

Agnes had a more 'refined' appearance than before. She became more beautiful, and her golden eyes permanently changed to a blood-red hue; her skin became less pale as well, and a glow of 'Life' could be perceived.

In Violet's case, the change was even less imperceptible. After all, she was the one who drank Victor's blood the most. The changes had already been taking place slowly, but one thing was visible.

Her eyes acquired an even more intense violet glow as her Vampyric eyes were changed entirely.

Victor narrowed his eyes when he looked at Violet. He could see that her feelings were 'far away', and when he saw Violet's gaze, that familiar violet glow, he opened his eyes wide.

"VIOLET!"

"!!!!!" Violet's body shuddered, and she opened her eyes wide. Then, her eyes stopped emitting the violet glow and acquired a more neutral hue.

The girls were taken aback by his sudden outburst but didn't say anything when they saw Victor's serious look.

"Y-Yes!?" Violet responded.

"Pull yourself together, don't get caught up in the vision."

"..." Seeing Violet's stunned gaze, he spoke in a gentle but stern tone:

"Remember, this Power is not perfect, and the future is always changing. Our decisions today affect tomorrow's future. Destiny is yet to be written."

"...Yes..."

Agnes opened her eyes wide when she heard what Victor said, as she quickly looked at her daughter and saw her downcast expression, an expression she knew very well.

"Don't tell me..." Her face was horrified at the mention of this Cursed Power, and she asked worriedly, "What did you see, Violet?"

"… The silhouette of a man with Angel wings and the horns and tail of a Demon…?"

"..." A serious look appeared on everyone's faces.

"I couldn't see everything because Darling woke me up."

"An Angel-Demon hybrid?" Morgana spoke.

"It is possible, but it should be impossible; the Primordial responsible for Balance will not allow such an existence to be born... Not to mention that a Being cannot contain Positive Energy and Negative Energy in excess," Jeanne spoke.

"..." Another silence fell over the place.

"We'll think about it later." Victor took the lead in the situation.

The girls looked at Victor.

"Kaguya, take care of their clothes."

"Yes, Master. I already have everything prepared here." Two pieces of clothing appeared in Kaguya's hand, and she walked toward Agnes and Violet.

"Agnes."

"Yes?"

"Report everything I told you about my power to Violet; she will need to know."

"Are you sure...?"

"Yes, she must understand her Lineage."

"Ugh, to think that Cursed Power was awakened in my daughter," Agnes grumbled.

"Can you guys stop talking like I'm not here?" Violet snorted.

Agnes looked at her daughter, specifically her eyes: 'And to make matters worse, her Power must be stronger than Adonis at the time because she is not weakened like him. So her Power to see the future probably only loses to Victor's, and that's bad. Extremely bad... Dealing with Time and Fate is something Mortals shouldn't mess with, or it will unleash a lot of shit we don't want to deal with'.

Agnes squeezed her hand tightly. She would teach her daughter as strictly as possible since she didn't want her to use that Power carelessly.

"...." Victor didn't say anything, but he agreed with Agnes. Part of him also thought that Power was Cursed, but another felt that Power was Power. It just depended on who used it and how it was used.

But these two parties agreed never to use this Power to see the future. Why? There were several reasons.

But the main thing was...

He didn't like spoilers.

And that Power was unstable. The future visions that Adonis received were perfect and always happened, but they always happened because Adonis didn't have the power to change that future.

But Victor was different. He had this Power, and with his actions, he could change the future, whatever it was.

But the problem was, from the moment you know that X situation could happen, that situation would definitely occur. That is, by envisioning this future, the timeline would converge to that situation, and it would become more challenging to change that X thing from happening.

'Fortunately, the girls burning down the Royal Capital can be avoided thanks to me knowing about this vision from Adonis' memories, but this vision clearly taught me the dangers of this Power.'

There was a saying: 'Don't mess with Time and Space'.

Something Victor learned from watching movies. Every time Beings messed with Time and Space, shit got more complicated than they should be.

Time Paradoxes.

Timelines that shouldn't exist.

Other worlds being created by messing with Time.

Enemies of the future that came to the past because someone messed with Time.

Victor didn't want to deal with that shit!

The scarlet speedster taught Victor something: 'Don't mess with Time, or Time will fuck you up in every possible way imaginable.'

'…Wait, Violet saw that man, right? Of Angels' wings, and Demon horns and tail… FUCK!' Victor just realized the shit he was in for now.

'Ugh, maybe because I knocked her out of the vision, we can avoid that?' Victor wasn't optimistic about this situation.

Sighing visibly, he thought about leaving the problem for later because he had to deal with the issues of the present, not the future, so he said:

"Next, Natashia and Sasha."
