Chapter 1054: War Games with the Daughters… Kinda? 2
Everyone watched as Siren returned to base but found no men in sight.
"What!?" Siren exclaimed in shock.
"Fear often overcomes charisma. In this specific case, what these soldiers feared most was not Siren, but the retaliation of the two other armies."
This was a nearly perfect simulation, meaning Siren was not known as the Emperor"s Daughter and was just a very strong savage, a status Scathach had in the past.
Siren thought she understood. After all, she had specifically designated a weak man for the job for that reason, but she was very wrong. No matter if she had chosen the weakest man, the strongest woman, or a nearby child, they would all flee the moment she left.
By failing to recognize her own status, she failed to see the general state of her own subordinates... But not everything was lost, with the successful attacks, those who followed her became loyal to her. After all, they saw that there was success in following her, they also became afraid of her cruelty.
"Now that you"ve seen distinct examples, let"s heat things up, shall we?" Victor"s eyes glowed intensely.
His Daughters around him took a deep breath as they felt the air become heavier and full of Power, a reaction very similar to what their Mothers made every time they felt Victor acting.
In the next moment, a vast dome covered the entire war game. As the owner of the planet, and from this small Dimension that he created, Victor could transport anything with a mere thought, and that"s what he did... He brought the upgraded Nightmare Tower that was in his backyard to this temporary Dimension and used the Powers embedded in the Tower.
He brought the Dream into Reality in a much easier way. Could he have done this without the Tower? Yes, he could have, but he would have had to keep everything running with his Powers, something he could easily do. However, there were advantages to bringing the Nightmare Tower, and these advantages included the enhancement of the Soul.
Even though his Daughters" Souls were extremely strong because of who they were, that didn"t mean there wasn"t room for improvement, and he wasn"t going to let his Daughters become lazy.
He didn"t mind some of his Wives being like that. After all, those were their personalities, and even if they were lazy, they weren"t as much as in the past, not to mention that most of them helped keep his Empire running by taking on various positions throughout his Empire. Therefore, they had the right to be lazy when they were off duty.
But he wouldn"t allow such a thing from his Daughters, who literally had nothing to do but play around.
"The limits will be extended, and everyone will now have the limit of a Mid-Level G.o.d of War in strength, but in exchange, your senses will be severely weakened."
"Remember, my Daughters, you are here to learn about war with Beings who are equal or better than you in Power." This was just basic training in preparation for the future since the antic.i.p.ated scale of the future war didn"t even compare with the one he was simulating.
"Rosemary, Gina, Stella, and Yuno, you"re next. Each of you will have your own group. How you develop in this large-scale war is up to you." Victor snapped his fingers, and in the next moment the girls mentioned appeared in various different places with their own group.
Some even changed Race, like Rosemary, who was no longer a Dragon but a Fairy, a Fairy Queen.
"What the h.e.l.l am I supposed to do to improve my situation as a Fairy?" She wondered incredulously as she looked at the small, mischievous Fairies flying around.
Gina appeared as a Dryad in the middle of a tropical forest.
"Well, I can make this work." She said as she looked at the trees around her.
Yuno appeared as a Necromancer in a cemetery.
"Hmm... What would Mother Persephone do in this situation?" She wondered aloud as she looked around.
Stella appeared as a Demi-G.o.ddess in the Human world that Victor was simulating with the "Dream", and she immediately realized that her Power was that of "truth", the Power her Mother Anna had that almost forced everyone to be honest in her presence.
"Truth, huh? Seems like in this story, I"m just my Mother"s Daughter..." She wasn"t sure how to feel about that, but she ignored it for now, knowing it wasn"t true.
Receiving the memories of her current body, she realized her city was in the midst of a civil war, and the one stirring it was her Sister Priscilla"s Faction.
"Hmm, this will get even more complicated." She muttered, but immediately got out of bed and started working.
Victor smiled as he saw each of his Daughters taking a role in this Dream World, becoming more excited and motivated, then he had an excellent idea.
Agatha, along with her Sisters, began to sweat when they saw the state of their Father. They immediately realized he had an "excellent" idea, which meant it was not good at all for them!
"Let"s spice things up even more..." Victor turned to his Daughters, and smiling gently, he snapped his fingers, and then they all disappeared, except for Yog and Akasha.
In the next moment, various screens appeared in front of him, showing his Daughters looking the same as they did but with different characteristics, which were their current Races.
"Father, Father, what about me? I want to have fun too!"
"You were just born, Akasha..." Victor stopped speaking when he realized this was a good way for her to quickly bond with her Sisters.
"You"re right, you can"t be left out," Victor said.
Looking for the group of Scarlett Sisters in particular, Victor made Akasha the middle Sister of that group, believing if anyone could quickly get close to Akasha, it was this group.
When Akasha opened her eyes, she saw her older Sisters. "Welcome, Akasha. I hope we can work well together to defeat our other Sisters."
Akasha nodded. However, she disagreed with Priscilla"s words, saying, "Remember, our Father will judge us by performance. He didn"t say anything about who would win."
Priscilla, along with the other Sisters who were Daughters of Siena and Lacus, fell silent when they realized Akasha was right! He didn"t say anything about who would win!
"...Father, what about me?"
"You, my dear... Stay with me until I find a suitable role for you." Victor picked up Yog and placed her on his lap. It was simply unfair to put Yog in the midst of everything. Even if he sealed her Eldritch side, and changed her Race with the Power of the Dream, she was still an Eldritch Being whose very presence made the "Dream" useless if she was under pressure.
He could very well see his Daughter getting stressed and causing damage just because she was irritated.
After all, she could bring the Unreal to Reality.
Hearing her Father"s words, Yog smiled. She wasn"t against this development! It could be said that she was privileged! While her Sisters were busy, she was playing with her Father!
"What role is Father preparing for me?"
Victor thought for a few seconds, then displayed a small smile. "How about playing the role of an Outer G.o.d who "tempts" the poor Mortals with forbidden knowledge?"
Yog displayed a s.a.d.i.s.tic smile. "I like it."
"Umu, let"s put that into practice, fufufu." Victor snapped his fingers, and 666 books appeared around the Dream in specific places. These books were copies of each other and taught those who touched them forbidden knowledge capable of increasing their Power.
Everyone who touched them felt a deep desire for Power, a "beneficial" Artifact that tempted everyone with Power, but all this was a trap for the possible summoning of an Outer G.o.d.
Seeing what her Father was doing, Yog showed a satisfied smile! Such a position suited her! She liked it a lot!
"I can"t wait to act in my role." She laughed to herself.
The war game that Victor initially planned ended up becoming a large-scale world-building game with all his Daughters, a game that had its own backstory and characters.
...The best way to spend time with Family, right? They will have fun and, at the same time, learn in a controlled environment.
"I must bring Ophis and Nero too." Victor thought as he looked for the two women.
...
"Guys, The Tower of Nightmares is gone," Sasha stated the obvious.
"...What is Victor doing now?" Anna asked in a tired tone.
Violet looked in a specific direction, her eyes glowing faintly violet, and she saw that Victor was in one of the small Dimensions of the planet, and she saw what he was doing.
The women present, which were Sasha, Ruby, Jeanne, and Anna, looked in the direction Violet was looking and saw the same thing as she did.
"...He created a Dream World for our Daughters to play in," Anna said in disbelief.
"That sounds fun... I want to partic.i.p.ate, too. Maybe I"ll play a mercenary? A white-haired, pale-skinned, blue-eyed mercenary who is extremely obsessed with a little boy who may or may not be Victor..."
Ruby rolled her eyes when she understood the anime reference she was talking about and then said. "Shouldn"t we send someone sensible to keep an eye on this?"
"Maybe Hestia or Jeanne?"
"Nah, Victor has everything under control. Can you imagine him purposefully hurting his Daughters?" Sasha pointed out.
No, they couldn"t. Victor was too overprotective to do that.
"I bet this is just a way for him to play with them and teach them at the same time," Jeanne spoke.
"Indeed." Violet nodded.
"I still recommend that someone go to watch him... I offer to go." Ruby spoke.
The women around just rolled their eyes at Ruby"s att.i.tude.
"Just say clearly that you want to have fun. You don"t need to use our Daughters" safety as an excuse." Violet barked.
Concern for her Daughters" safety? With Victor around? It was easier for the Universe to fall into destruction than for the girls to be harmed in some way.
Everyone knew this fact, including Ruby! Which meant she was using this as an excuse to just have fun!
Ruby pouted when she heard what Violet said. She really wanted to play some of her favorite characters in this dream. Maybe she could become a wise master who would "teach" her disciple and then disappear so that her disciple could follow the journey of the hero or something.
Her imagination began to hyperventilate with ideas of what she wanted to do.
"I"m interested in partic.i.p.ating too... And since I"m free..." Sasha smiled sneakily. The next moment, her body was covered by Lightning, and she disappeared. "I"ll have fun, bye!"
"Wait, I will-." Just as Ruby was about to get up, a mountain of papers were thrown at her head.
"Ugh, what is this!?" She growled.
"You have work to do. The clone project won"t get off the ground automatically, Ruby."
"Ugh." She now regretted taking on so many responsibilities.
Anna clapped her hands to get everyone"s attention and then spoke. "Since Victor is dilating Time, I"m sure Ruby can take 10 minutes off, right?"
It might be 10 minutes off for them, but for Ruby, it would be longer; Time was weird like that.
"I"m sure Velnorah and Aline won"t mind, especially now that the project is in its small adjustments phase."
After all, creating totally loyal clones meant they needed to be extremely careful. They didn"t want to risk a possible betrayal, no matter how remote that chance was. The "preparation" phase was longer than the creation phase which could be done immediately.
Ruby"s eyes sparkled with excitement. "Thank you, Anna!"
Without waiting for Violet to complain again, Ruby quickly teleported to Victor"s location.
"Ugh... I want to go, too." Violet grumbled, but she couldn"t exactly leave her post since she was the Empress.
... It"s a good thing there were several Empresses, wasn"t it?
Violet sneakily glanced at Anna, who just smiled wryly.
"Go," Anna said.
"Thank you, Mama Anna!"
Anna rolled her eyes when she heard the nickname Violet called her.
Anna looked briefly at Jeanne, picked up her cup of tea, and said: "Can you go too Jeanne? As much as I trust my Husband and Sisters a lot, the combination of Victor, Ruby, Sasha, and Violet can be quite problematic."
Of course, these words were just excuses for Jeanne to go play, too.
Jeanne, of course, noticed this immediately, smiled, and then said: "There"s no way... I must keep an eye on them." She spoke and then disappeared, too.
Anna snorted when she saw how easily she walked away. As she looked at the work she had to do, and sighed. A few moments of silence fell around her until she smiled faintly, and a second and third Anna appeared beside her.
Bending Reality, she created two versions of herself, a version from when she was a Human, and a version from when she was a Vampire.
The best part? They shared their thoughts with each other... The possibilities for this skill were endless.
"No! Bad Anna! Focus on her work... Or rather, lack thereof." Anna pointed to the work she had to do for her old versions.
The old versions of her grumbled but immediately started doing their thing.
Despite sharing thoughts and points of view, they had the personality that Anna previously had.
Looking at them was like looking into the past.
"...I really changed... And I became more beautiful too." She was already beautiful as a Human, and when she turned into a n.o.ble Vampire, she became even more beautiful, and then that beauty completely went off the charts when she became a Dragon G.o.ddess.
While Anna dealt with the work of her Sisters who went out to play, the aforementioned Sisters encountered Victor and asked to take on an unknown role in the story of the Dream World.
They wanted to play their roles perfectly.
Ruby chose to be a great Merchant who owned a country"s economy by herself.
Violet chose to be a Mercenary like she said before.
Sasha chose to be an exiled Princess who lost everything.
Jeanne chose to be... Well, a Saint, but not a good Saint like she once was, but rather a Saint of a miniature Eldritch G.o.d who was also her Daughter. A Saint who could be good or bad, an ambiguous existence.
Each a.s.suming their roles, they jumped into this Dream World.
