Victor, back to his usual height, looked at the sphere in his hands with curiosity. Currently, he was in the Demon King's Castle, his property in his personal Hell.
According to Hela, in order for her to access the Abyss, she had to use her End ability as a guide. Apparently, this happened because Abyss Creatures exist in galaxies that have already had their 'end' in existence. Although these Beings are not Gods of The End per se, they are the result of actions when an End God erases a galaxy and only the darkness of the Sector remains." Victor thought.
"According to her, that Being from the Abyss she summoned isn't even an adult in the Abyss Realm. You could say it's at the bottom of the food chain, with the minions Being even lower than it." Victor had a genuine interest in these Beings.
After all, the first time he saw them, he felt 'called' by them as if his existence was resonating with these Beings. You could say it was the same feeling as Vampires from the same Clan meeting each other.
Although, the feeling wasn't that strong. It was more like a familiarity in seeing someone of the same species.
"To access that Realm, I need to exert the Divinity of End... If I want to use the same method as Hela." Victor highly doubted there was only one method to reach the 'Abyss'.
His thoughts were interrupted and returned to the sphere in his hands. "And this sphere... It's giving me the same familiarity those Abyss Beings had given me, but only to a stronger degree."
Victor played with the sphere in his hand, thinking about what to do. He wanted to 'explore' the existence of these spheres completely, using his eyes to fully discern what this sphere was, but he decided not to do it for now because of a single simple reason that this sphere seemed to be connected to something. Even without using the full extent of his Powers, he could tell that.
"Well... I've never feared anything, and it won't start now." Victor released the sphere, and the sphere began to float.
Victor murmured several words in the Draconic Language, and soon several layers of protection began to appear around him and around the entire room.
Approximately more than 6666 different Shields with different functions began to appear, but if we were to mention the 6 most important ones, they would be:
Anti-corruption: a shield capable of preventing any kind of corruption as long as it wasn't stronger than Victor, Roxanne, and Amara. Something shared by all the other protections.
Anti-manipulation: a shield capable of preventing any kind of control, from mental control to charm control like Aphrodite's. Although Victor was immune to these types of manipulations now, he wouldn't risk it; he had learned from his mistakes after all.
Anti-invasion: a shield that prevents any kind of interference or passage to this Sector, completely closing possible breaches in Space.
Anti-observation: a shield that prevents the possible individual from the other side from observing anything beyond the room he is in now.
Anti-reality: a shield, or more precisely Victor's Authority, preventing whoever was on the other side from altering reality, thus putting him as the 'owner' of this reality he is in.
And last but not least.
Anti-Soul: A shield capable of protecting your Soul, which could be said to be the most crucial shield, as he put more Energy into it.
There were other shields that he put up which prevented various possible scenarios, but these were the most important ones to mention. Victor was very cautious about whatever might be on the other side. Even Roxanne and Amara themselves weren't fooling around while fully supporting Victor to ensure that his enormous Energy supply never ran out; as their 'planet', the two women would do anything to protect him. After all, these were their most basic instincts in action.
"Okay, let's start..." When Victor was about to speak, his gauntlets dissolved into a slime-like liquid and reformed in front of him as a Greatsword.
"Junketsu? What's wrong?"
The violet Power around Junketsu flickered as if she were speaking to Victor, and upon hearing what she said, Victor laughed.
"Very well, you can do as you please." He wouldn't hinder Junketsu's overprotection since his weapon had evolved into much more than a simple weapon. Due to his weapon's inherent connection with Victor, it was not an exaggeration to say that the weapon itself was alive.
For a moment, Victor felt completely 'whole' again, as if the part of his Soul that Junketsu had fused with completely had returned to him but still existed there as a separate Being. It was a similar sensation he had when he merged with his Alter.
The Power around Junketsu glowed with animation, and in the next moment, it dissolved into slime and lunged at Victor. All of Victor's demonic armor was completely consumed by Junketsu, and in the next moment, the sword itself became a complete set of full-body armor that even covered his face, giving him a macabre appearance.
The color themes of the armor changed to black and violet, and a violet crystal formed on Victor's chest, a crystal that 'pulsated' as if alive, and with each pulse, the violet details pulsed with pure Power.
For a moment, Victor felt completely 'whole' again, as if the part of his Soul that Junketsu had fused with completely had returned to him but still existed there as a separate Being. It was a similar sensation he had when he merged with his Alter.
The form of his armor seemed like a hybrid form of his Dragon Form and Junketsu itself.
"Since when could you do this?" Victor asked curiously, slightly surprised that his voice had changed because of the helmet covering his face.
The crystal on Victor's chest glowed, and soon Junketsu's voice was heard not only by Victor as he always heard it but also by Amara and Roxanne, who had never heard her voice.
"I was working on it when Master tried to replace me with some stupid technology." She grumbled, quite annoyed as Vietnam-esc flashbacks appeared in her mind; Velnorah's words were like trauma to her, who was born to 'protect' and 'serve' Victor.
Amara and Roxanne looked at each other with disbelieving expressions; even an 'object' had an 'obsession' with Victor. This was another level of nonsense they didn't expect... But this kind of event was very much like Victor.
"I was only able to do it recently when that white sphere helped me evolve even further due to my desires."
"... White sphere?"
"Her?" A dagger appeared near Amara and pointed at her.
These words confused Victor and Amara for a few seconds, but they soon understood what she meant.
"Oh, my Divinity of Beginnings, huh."
Victor understood how this was possible now. After all, theoretically, Junketsu was part of him, so it was obvious that his Divinity would react to her desires.
But these words proved to Victor something he already knew, the Divinities of Negativity, and Beginnings, which was just one step below Positivity, were more complex than he thought.
Something similar happened in the past in the incident where Roxanne and Amara played with his 'food' in his body, giving him more Powers than he could count.
To be honest, the amount of Power Victor had at the moment was so numerous that he didn't even know all of it. Fortunately, he was a Master of Martial Arts, so it was 'instinctive' for him to use his Powers quickly, and he didn't need to think too much about it. After all, everything came to him instinctively.
"I understand... Don't worry, Junketsu, I would never replace you, I would've just asked you to consume the armor or something." Victor spoke honestly.
He often preferred to use something he was used to rather than something completely new. Of course, this thought only applied to weapons; he didn't think much about armor as long as it fulfilled its function of protecting him.
"Humph, only I can use the Master. I allowed those stupid armors because they had no sSul, but I won't allow that strange liquid that the giant Wife uses; that's NTR."
Victor's lips twitched when he heard those words from Junketsu. He wondered what kind of nonsense she'd been watching to know those words.
The strange liquid that Junketsu was talking about was probably Velnorah's technology, which was something like a living metal, something closer to nanomachines. Apparently, being a 'living' metal aroused Junketsu's jealousy and possessiveness, which made the sword want to evolve to be the Jack of All Trades for Victor.
"Heh... A weapon that can transform into armor and is quite possessive..." Victor laughed in amusement and appreciation. "I can accept that."
"Humph."
Amara and Roxanne rolled their eyes when they heard what he said.
"A very Darling-like response," Roxanne spoke.
"Well, he is the God of Yanderes. It's obvious he would be pleased with this kind of obsession," Amara pointed out.
"That's true," Roxanne nodded.
Junketsu and Victor promptly ignored the two women as they were having their 'moment.'
"Junketsu, what can you do?" Victor asked curiously.
"Whatever the Master desires."
'So she will react to my desires, huh.' Victor understood what she meant.
"Hmm..." Victor looked at the gauntlet with sharp claws covering his hand and thought about letting his hand out.
