Chapter 1015: Eldritch Gods.  

"This changes everything... If Darling can act as our conductor, we can completely transcend the rules of existence," Velnorah spoke after receiving the information from Jeanne.

Currently, in a meeting room, Velnorah was present along with Violet, Scathach, Sasha, Ruby, Jeanne, some wives like the group of demonic ladies led by Helena were not present but were watching the meeting through a hologram medium, which made them appear to be present at the meeting. The same applied to wives like Amaterasu, Tasha, Maya, Leona, and others who were busy with their respective areas that kept the Faction running smoothly.

Some others were just listening to the conversation while continuing to deal with their tasks, such as Kaguya, who was busy with a current operation and couldn't take her eyes off it.

Others were simply lying in their personal rooms pretending to be asleep, like Pepper, Siena, Zaladrac, Gaia, Nyx, and Hestia.

...They DEFINITELY weren't just being lazy...

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "I wonder why you all are so shocked," Azathoth suddenly spoke, catching everyone's attention.

"When I spoke about myself, I made it quite clear, didn't I? I am Chaos incarnate, the creator of a pantheon, and the same applies to my husband. He has the same powers as me, albeit less developed, but in return, his very existence is being hidden by the rules of this creation. He is an Eldritch Chaos, an outer god; at the same time, he is a high-level god of this creation."

"As an Eldritch Chaos, he is capable of feeding on divinities, just as the remnants of Chaos in this creation called Positivity and Negativity do."

"With time, the more he consumes the creation to feed himself, there will come a point where he will become a being outside of this creation that not even this reality can contain, he will become a being of a higher dimension."

"In simple words, he will become a multiversal being."

A silence fell over the room.

"... Haah, Darling really is unbelievable, how did he go from a progenitor vampire to a god of eldritch chaos? This doesn't even make sense," Violet sighed.

Ruby, Sasha, Agnes, Eleonor, and Leona couldn't help but agree with Violet on this matter; if they think about a few years ago, they were powerful beings, but not powerful enough to alter reality itself.

"Don't get too excited; this will take a ridiculous amount of time to happen. He needs to feed to grow in power. It took me thousands of years to reach this state, and even after consuming an entire planet of high-level gods, I haven't reached my full maturity. If it weren't for those damn Primordials, I would already be fully grown."

Some girls broke out in a cold sweat when they heard the words of this dangerous woman because if the Primordials hadn't stopped, all existence would be doomed, which means they would be too.

"Although if that happened, I wouldn't be mentally mature as I am now... My ego would take longer to form if it weren't for my interaction with Darling and subsequently with you sisters, so I guess it was good that the Primordials sealed me?" Azathoth pondered aloud.

As they left the dangerous god in her deep thoughts, Violet took control of the situation. "Now that Azathoth 'kindly' explained how Victor is an even more dangerous existence than we imagined, what are we going to do about it?"

"I mean, what can we do?" Anna spoke. "We should just continue with our plan; the situation we're talking about is a distant future where Victor is fully matured in body.""Yeah, he still needs to snack on some stars, black holes, and planets if he wants to think about becoming a fully mature Eldritch Chaos. And he can't do that recklessly because the Primordials will immediately take action against this 'virus,'" Azathoth spoke, thinking to herself.

As an Eldritch God, she is considered a plague to all existence; after all, her sole purpose is to cause chaos, distort the rules of creation, and consume creation itself. And as regulators of existence, the Primordials will not tolerate such an existence; the only reason Azathoth is alive is because they cannot kill her.

You cannot kill 'chaos,' after all, that's where everything begins; only another 'chaos' can do that, and they won't even be eliminated, but rather fed for their own existence.

In a nutshell, Primordials are the leaders of creation, beings who create the entire universe; they are the beginning and the end of everything, beings who in their domain can create an entire universe; they are indeed the 'administrators' of an entire creation. And even among these beings, there are levels of power based on the size of their 'universe' or 'multiverse.'

In a certain sense, when humans think of an 'almighty God,' they are thinking of the primordial chaos, truly omnipresent, omnipotent, and omnipresent in their own domain.

An Eldritch Chaos has the potential to become even greater than these beings; after all, they are outer gods with a corruptive chaos energy, beings whose very existence distorts all the rules created by these beings.

"My sisters really have no idea of the potential of my husband and my own," Azathoth thought to herself.

But that's an irrelevant discussion now. The point is, if the primordial chaos of this existence were sentient, Azathoth in her youth would have already had her ego destroyed and her energy absorbed long ago, but fortunately, when she began to grow, such a being was no longer alive, but rather divided into various parts, with the largest being the two semi-conscious Primordials.

Azathoth was truly a cosmic-scale disaster; she may seem cute like this, but that's because she's dealing with Victor's family; any other being would have gone insane just looking at her.

Everyone here has an innate resistance to Azathoth's innate madness due to their relationship with Victor.

The girls broke out in a cold sweat when they heard her talk about eating black holes, stars, and planets as if it were food you find anywhere.

Azathoth chuckled internally when she saw their reaction. 'If they could hear my thoughts, I wonder how they would react.' She was developing a certain sadistic pleasure in teasing others. Fortunately, she decided not to expose her thoughts; after all, it was irrelevant now; she was talking about potential futures, potential is good and all, but if you don't work for it, it's all irrelevant.

'Baby steps... Let's take one step at a time; there's no use rushing things. First; Let's start by focusing on my husband helping me get out of this damn seal,' Azathoth thought with irritation.lightsnovel

"Setting aside this scary conversation for now..." Gaia began to speak. "Should we start making some of our children gods over Victor's domain?"

"For example, my daughter..." Gaia looked cautiously at Jeanne, carefully choosing her words. "Not to offend Jeanne, after all, we're talking about her brother's domain, but... I really don't fully trust him. I would feel more at peace if my daughter were receiving energy from Victor."

Jeanne rolled her eyes. "How many years have we known each other, Gaia? Stop tiptoeing around; you won't offend me with that."

"Well... I just feel weird saying this to someone who hasn't done anything to us yet, but I really have trust issues, you know," Gaia shrugged.

Despite hearing about Jeanne's brother, and her own husband trusting Jeanne's brother somewhat due to Jeanne herself and past events between the three, Gaia doesn't feel the same way. She hasn't interacted with this being, so she doesn't know him, and if she doesn't know him, she prefers her daughter to stay as far away from his influence as possible.

Call her paranoid if you want, but she prefers it this way; after all, her past experiences with trust haven't been very good.

The only one who has never broken her trust so far is her husband... The best husband she could imagine having.

"When Gina was born with the divinity of life, Darling didn't take any measures because he trusts my brother, and I also trust my brother; he won't do anything to harm me or anyone related to me, I can guarantee that."

"He's different from Infinity, who honestly nobody knows completely."

"... Yes, but. I still prefer that she stays under her own father's supervision," Gaia insisted.

Jeanne shrugged. "If you feel that way, just ask Victor; he'll help you with that."

"Mhm, I will," Gaia nodded.

Jeanne sighed; she really felt hurt by Gaia's words, but she could understand where the goddess's desires came from. Everyone here had trust issues with any being other than Victor; these trust issues could stem from past events like what happened with her and Gaia, or because they couldn't fully trust any being other than Victor.

When silence fell in the room, Ruby took charge. "Now that you two have decided what to do, let's continue with the discussion."

Ruby looked at the hologram of Gaia lying on the sofa. "Just as Gaia said, I propose that we gather our daughters who have some divinities possibly related to the Primordials and have them come under Darling's influence."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

Voices of agreement echoed around as everyone agreed with Ruby's suggestions.

Ruby looked at the women, her eyes stopping specifically on Jeanne. "I propose the same for you sisters."

Before anyone could say anything, they heard Azathoth.

"I suggest you don't do that now."

All eyes turned to the woman with black hair and black eyes who looked like a female copy of Victor.

"Turning child gods in their early stages to a different energy is a relatively simple process; the same applies to gods born from the union of souls between my husband and another woman. After all, all Darling has to do is feed something that's already present in them. But the same doesn't apply to you girls."

"Most of you here are well-developed gods in your own divine concepts, some even reaching the peak potential of your concept like Aphrodite, Gaia, and Nyx. The amount of energy needed for the change in you will be colossal, despite having Eldritch energy in your body due to your interaction with Darling in various ways; you still have less energy within you than the daughters born from the union of Victor's souls and yours."

"If we were to put it in perspective, and in summary, our daughters are hybrid goddesses, daughters of an Eldritch god and this creation, while you are goddesses who have ¼ Eldritch energy within you."

¼ may seem like a small number, but it's not; if they didn't have this minimum of energy within them, they couldn't even talk to Azathoth without going mad.

"While our daughters demand little or almost no energy to feed them due to being hybrids, the same doesn't apply to you. Most of you were born in this creation, which makes it harder for Victor to change you without weakening you."

"... I understand, it's like a change of ownership, huh," Velnorah put her hand on her chin as she spoke. "While for our daughters, it's easier to change the main energy, the same doesn't apply to us because, whether we like it or not, we were born in this creation; most of our being is composed of the rules of this creation."

"Basically, yes. I'm not saying it's impossible; what I'm saying is that you will be severely weakened because Darling is not yet fully mature as an Eldritch Chaos. It's easier for him to feed and change those who are closer to him in existential terms than you, who need an amount of energy equivalent to your domain of divinity."
