Chapter 549  : A Goddess’s Determination.

"You can ask, you know?"

Aphrodite bit her lip.

"… Who… Who were the beings that blessed you?"

"Hmm…" Victor thought deeply and replied:

"Albedo Moriarty, the Chaos Witch."

"The mother of the night, Nyx."

"..." Aphrodite’s face distorted.

"Mother Earth, Gaia. And the spirits, specifically speaking, the spirits of animals."

"World tree, Qliphoth. Which from my research is the ’reverse’ tree of Sephiroth that represents all that is negative."

"And the last one is an unknown name. When The Limbo Guy spoke the name, no one could hear what he said."

"..." Aphrodite bit her lips, and her eyes returned to the lifeless hue as a pink aura started to come out of her body. It was different from before, and this aura carried murderous intentions.

"..." No one reacted to this since it was clear that these murderous intentions were not directed towards Victor.

"So many beings, you have attracted too much attention, stupid disciple." Scathach spoke in a neutral tone.

"..." Victor just scratched his cheek. It’s not his fault; he just acted normally like he always does.

"Do you have any idea what you did to get their attention?" Ruby asked.

"I don’t know, only one I’m sure of."

"..." The girls raised their eyebrows.

"Who?" Violet asked.

"Qliphoth, the world tree, I think… Well, I am married to her?"

"..." The auditory cracking sound was heard by everyone.

All the girls narrowed their eyes, but the ones who reacted the most strongly were Violet, Agnes, and, surprisingly, Ruby and Scathach.

Natashia had a neutral smile on her face.

And Aphrodite was lost in thought.

"Take a breath, girls. You know her, she’s always been with me, and she’s still a kid... Mentally speaking, of course."

"…Roxanne?" Ruby narrowed her eyes.

"Hmm." Victor nodded.

The tense atmosphere visibly calmed down.

"That child, huh..." Remembering the incident of the world tree and Victor, Scathach understood what happened. In a way, is Roxanne something like Victor’s daughter?

After all, the man’s blood was used to make her current body.

"And to think that Maid was so…important." Scathach spoke.

Okay, she understood that she was a world tree and she was special, but she didn’t think she was that special.

After all, having a world tree signifying everything negative is a rare occurrence.

’What happened? Has the world tree of the planet of Nightingale shared its responsibility?’

Scathach didn’t have much knowledge about world trees, but she was already talking to a woman who was Earth’s world tree, and that woman had complete control of her ’negative’ side, and she wasn’t divided into two beings.

"All my beloved Maids are important." Victor snorted.

When Agnes was going to say something, they heard the sound of something breaking.

CRACK!

Aphrodite had broken part of the tile in the bathtub with her grip.

"... I don’t like this..." She bit her lip and began to speak in a tone that bordered on insanity but, at the same time, still controlled:

"Qliphoth and the animal spirits are fine since they will help you in the long run, and Qliphoth, it’s not bad. That world tree is just the opposite of the world tree on the planet... I assume she’s the opposite part of the world tree on the planet of Nightingale."

"..." The girls narrowed their brows a bit at this new information. They mistakenly thought that Qliphoth was bad because it represented the ’negative’ aspect.

"Depending on how you grow in the future, Qliphoth will help you a lot, and from what you said, I assume you made a soul marriage with her… Which is quite unbelievable. No one in history has done that before."

’Soul marriage? Oh… She means that Victor remembered Roxanne’s words.

But then he laughed and said,

"Umu, she’s a good girl."

"Animal spirits aren’t bad either, they will give you better affinity with animals, and you’ll be able to understand them too."

’... I’ll be able to talk to my cat! But, didn’t I talk to him before?’ Victor thought, confused. He didn’t really have a ’conversation’ with his cat and just seemed to understand what his cat wanted. He was surprisingly smart for a cat.

"… But… Gaia, Nyx and Albedo?" Aphrodite’s body shook.

"Mostly, Gaia and Nyx?"

"That’s a big no. Those bitches won’t have you."

Aphrodite’s pink eyes gleamed in an obsessive tone.

"I’m the only goddess you can have..." She took Victor’s right hand and looked deep into his violet eyes.

"The only one."

"..." Victor’s smile grew, he felt his whole body tremble, and his younger brother, who was half-awake almost asleep, woke up completely excited and completely filled Sasha’s insides.

"Hmmm~." Sasha groaned unconsciously and snuggled even closer to Victor.

"... M-Mother, where is the camera? Take the cell phone! We need to record this. She’s acting just like the women of our Clan! And on top of that, it’s a declaration of love!"

"I am already doing it. You are too slow, daughter." Agnes spoke while filming everything with her cell phone.

"As expected of you." Violet nodded in satisfaction.

"… Shall we comment on this?" Natashia pointed at mother and daughter while looking at Scathach and Ruby:

"And how the hell is that a declaration of love?"

"…It’s the Snow Clan. You should expect something like this." Ruby spoke.

’This is unexpected but very welcome... With this, we will have such a strong ally that the chance of betrayal is nil.’

"... You’re right." Natashia sighed.

Victor displayed a small smile:

"You know this isn’t my fault, right? It’s not like I can ignore blessings like the other gods."

"Yes, you are right. I was careless." Aphrodite frowned.

"Eh?" Victor didn’t understand why it was her fault."I should better protect my love."

"Oh…" Victor felt a slight shiver run through his body, and his younger brother was completely aroused. He really liked that feeling.

It seems that, once again, he has been drawn into madness.

"..." The women looked at it with a perplexed expression; This goddess… She’s not even denying it anymore!

They all thought at the same time.

Scathach frowned in annoyance, and when she was about to get up, Ruby grabbed her hand.

The mother looked at her daughter and saw her unusually serious look.

"...." Even without Ruby saying anything, Scathach understood what she meant, she and her daughter had this conversation before, and Scathach knew of her daughter’s plan.

All the girls here know, and because of this, Agnes and Violet ignored everything, even though internally, they wanted to pluck the pink-haired chicken!

Even though Agnes hasn’t escalated her and Victor’s relationship to that level, she is still very overprotective of him. If it was any other woman, she would have been burned alive by now.

"Haah, looks like this is going to be a long talk. Let me get my drink~." Natashia reached over to a tray that held a red wine bottle.

"Aren’t you very relaxed, Natashia?" Ruby asked

"I mean, we’ve already talked about this, right?" Natashia didn’t care, she judged Ruby’s plan as necessary, and she knew her husband wouldn’t leave her just because he would possibly bond with the goddess of beauty.

"...." Ruby was silent.

Ruby sighed and said, "Give me some too. I need not think about it too much."

"I want some too!" Violet swam over to Natashia.

"Hmm~, help yourself, girls."

Aphrodite was silent for a full minute.

"I decided." Aphrodite’s eyes glowed neon pink, and she stared at Victor with a serious look.

"Victor, marry me."

"PFFT"

"Cough, Cough." Violet, Ruby, and Natashia gasped at the sudden news.

Scathach and Agnes’ eyes widened in utter shock.

Victor narrowed his eyes:

"… Isn’t that too hasty? And you’re not married?"

"I’ve never been married in my life, Victor. At least, not the kind of marriage I’m proposing."

"And no, this is not rushed."
