Chapter 556  : It’s Not Your Fault.

"Hmm? Have you already returned, Darling? How was the meeting?" Ruby asked, but she already knew the answer from Victor’s bad mood.

"I was expecting too much. I thought I would meet some allies… But as expected of the gods."

"..." Ruby sat in the chair and crossed her legs sensually, her sensuality increasing every day since she started consummating her relationship with Victor.

"Can you explain to me what happened?"

"Mm." Victor nodded his head and began to recount the events he had experienced.

After recounting everything, Ruby’s face was ugly. She didn’t like what she heard.

"Mind control..."

"Thanks to my progenitor physiology, I seem to be immune to that shit."

"Did you acquire this by advancing your seals?"

"It seems so."

"... Do you think this protection extends to people who drink your blood regularly?"

"..." Victor narrowed his eyes, and he could understand where Ruby’s question was coming from. She was worried about the possibility of someone controlling their minds.

"I don’t know-."

[Yes, they are protected.]

Victor was silent.action

"Darling?" Ruby looked at Victor strangely, feeling his shock.

"One minute." Victor closed his eyes and found himself in a red world.

He looked around and didn’t see the tree anywhere. Instead, he saw hundreds, if not thousands, of bodies walking back and forth.

"What is this?"

Roxanne appeared at his side and looked around.

"Did you like the new landscape?" the being inside Victor asked.

"Roxanne and I made this landscape so that any being that tried to peek into your soul will only see the souls of people who have been absorbed into you."

Victor looked at Roxanne.

She nodded:

"Mm, my main body is buried in this pile of corpses, in a much deeper place in your soul."

"I see you’ve taken precautions."

"Since we will meet gods in the future, we need to be careful." The being inside Victor said.

Victor looked at the being and raised his eyebrow. Only now did he realize that the being’s hand was missing.

Seeing Victor looking at the space where his hand was, the being opened a big smile full of teeth and said:

"Finally, it’s starting. We’re becoming one."

"So that’s why it felt easier to use that power, huh."

"The answer has always been with you, Victor."

"You are on the right path."

"...." Victor nodded, understanding what that being was saying.

"Explain what you talked about earlier."

"... We are the ones who walk between life and death. The progenitor of vampires is special since we control the souls of the dead and the blood of the living."

"In a sense, we are a kind of ’god’, like the ’beginning’ of everything. We can use that for the next few years to protect us."

"How do we protect? Our blood is the answer."

"Those who are recognized by us, and drink our blood, are protected by our ’blood’."

"Especially women who are connected by our soul."

"A progenitor’s soul is not normal, as you can see." The being looked around, specifically at the thousands of bodies walking around.

All kinds of beings and races were here, even the monsters that Victor killed when he was in Clan Adrastea.

"Only our soul can contain so many other souls, and the only limit is how strong our soul can become."

"For example, if something happens to your wives or the people who drank your blood, they won’t ’die’. Their souls will come back to us and be contained in our own souls until we have a way to resurrect them. ."

"..." Victor’s face turned ugly when he heard about someone trying to target his wives.

"Don’t look at me like that. You know what I’m talking about. Even if you’re paranoid and have eyes everywhere to watch your wives, it’s always good to have a backup plan for everything."

"I know..."

Victor was silent for a few minutes, and then he spoke as he looked around:

"Can I use these souls?"

"Yes, you can... at least that’s the feeling I have, but even I don’t know how we can use them, we need to be taught or try to learn through successes and failures... Someone who could help us with that would be Vlad since he is an older progenitor, but..."

""I don’t see him trying to help us."" Victor and the being spoke at the same time."I wouldn’t accept his help either." The two spoke in disdain.

"....." Roxanne just looked at the interaction with a small smile.

"Husband, are you coming back now?" She asked.

"Yes." Victor nodded. He had the answer he needed.

Before he could leave, Roxanne snuck into his arms and kissed his lips.
