Chapter 1172: Scathach Exaggerated Again.

Albedo was sweating like a pig, waiting to be slaughtered now. Until ten minutes ago, everything was going well. She was just doing her experiments until a wild Scathach appeared, grabbed her by the neck, and brought her to this arena.

"... Scathach, did I do something that offended you? If I did, I apologize! I am a fool!"

"Heh~. You didn’t particularly do anything, and that is exactly the problem." Scathach’s eyes shone.

"...." Albedo was not stupid. She immediately understood what the problem was: her absence in matters related to the family was finally being questioned.

And to make her situation even worse, Albedo looked at the audience: Anna, Violet, Sasha, Ruby, Kaguya, Persephone, Aphrodite, Sasha, Agnes, Maria, Natasha, Bruna, Eve, Roberta, Siena, Lacus, and the list went on.

Practically all of Victor’s wives had projections in the stands. Some, like Dun Scaith, were also present, eating popcorn! This was clearly a public execution!

Knowing that her lazy ass was in danger, Albedo used the last resort: "Darling, help me!!!"

"....." For a moment, the projections of the wives and Scathach herself stopped and looked at Albedo with expressionless gazes.

"... She did it, huh?" Violet sighed.

"Indeed." Agnes nodded.

"That’s why I said Darling is spoiling the newcomers too much," Naty complained.

"...." Dun Scaith, Ariel, Hela, and Kali simply looked calmly at Naty.

"Don’t compare us with Albedo, thank you very much," Hela spoke for them.

Unlike Albedo, the four mentioned actually had authority over their own daughters and actively participated in the family.

"I’m sorry, I got carried away," Naty apologized, a little embarrassed.

"I understand. Don’t worry, just don’t repeat that," Hela said.

"I know." Naty nodded. Unlike Albedo, the others really had no problem.

Albedo began to sweat even more now, and she felt that she had made a big mistake.

"He is here," Hela said while looking at the arena.

Victor appeared in the middle of the arena, looked at the situation around him, read the environment, and, instead of helping her, he calmly spoke to Albedo: "My wife, the consequences of your actions often knock on your door early. By refusing to face them head-on and asking for my help, you only show that you are weak."

Victor was a loving man who spoiled his wives a lot, but he did not tolerate weakness because he knew very well that this was the original sin. When facing her punishment, instead of fighting head-on like a true wife of an emperor, she preferred to call him for help. To him, that was simply a weakness.

If the environment were different, or if she were fighting against an enemy, the situation would be completely different. Victor would appear as the very incarnation of fury and would destroy everything, but when it was a simple punishment for a mistake she made...? That was weakness, and cowardice of the worst kind that he did not tolerate.

Victor looked at Scathach, his beloved master and wife: "Increase the punishment, give her the complete training." He snapped his fingers and adjusted the time of this dimension. One day outside was equivalent to 100 years here. He also further increased the resistance of this dimension to withstand the combat between two true dragons.

He disappeared but still stayed nearby. After all, he had just released Scathach’s reins, and he knew very well that she could exaggerate if she got too excited.

"Press F for the poor thing, Victor really left Scathach free." Pepper spoke with pity.

"F," Lacus spoke.

"F," Ruby spoke.

"Fufufufu~, this is what I’m talking about. Thinking about it, since you became a dragon goddess, we have never fought, right? It can’t be like that. Let’s see the power of the ancient witch who reached divinity."

"...." Albedo was simply speechless; she had not expected this reaction.

"Talk about digging your own grave." Violet simply shook her head. She knew this would happen, and she didn’t even need to look into the future, since such a result was obviously predictable.

"The fact that she did not expect this result proves very well how little she knows, Darling. This is bad, very bad. If she continues like this, I will expel her." Anna commented.

"It’s impossible. We already have a daughter with her, so it is too late now, and the family must stay together. We have to train her properly. A thousand years, ten thousand years. Or even 1 million years if necessary. It doesn’t matter how much time is necessary, she will improve." Violet’s eyes were not healthy at all now.

A look that Anna also had, and she was not the only one, as practically everyone present had similar expressions. Even those who came later, like Kali, Ariel, and Dun Scaith, had a similar look, just not at such insane levels as Violet, Anna, Ruby, Sasha, Agnes, Natasha, Aphrodite, Kaguya, or even Scathach herself.

You do not enter a family that is obsessed with each other and expect to leave there sane, especially from a family related to cosmic horrors.

The wives were not making an effort to maintain privacy, so Albedo heard everything, and she was genuinely scared now.

’Damn, I should have participated more!!!’ They say regret comes late, and Albedo was experiencing that firsthand.

"Prepare yourself." Scathach summoned her Spear, not the nerfed version, the divine version that was made of draconic and eldritch runes, a masterpiece that Victor made for Scathach herself.

’I knew it. She’s overdoing it... At least it is in its sealed form.’ Victor thought.

"Wait, wait, wait! I understood where I went wrong!"

"Understanding in the mind is not the same as understanding with the body!!!" Scathach’s smile grew. Two draconic horns appeared on her head. Her eyes narrowed and became more dragon-like, and her teeth grew into draconic fangs. Her red dress exploded into a full-body divine armor that was not bulky, but made for speed, an armor that completely clung to her body, but without being lascivious. Her power exploded like a pillar of energy, making the entire dimension tremble.

"Prepare yourself, Albedo Elderblood! Show why Darling chose you as his wife! Show your pride!" Her shout came out like a dragon’s roar. If this weren’t a reinforced dimension, her shout alone would destroy everything around them.

Veins popped on Albedo’s head, and her draconic instinct was awakened. "I’m fucking tired of this shit. I already said it, listen to me!!!"

Albedo’s power exploded, forming a dress as a sword appeared in her hand, and she pointed it at Scathach:

"Keter, Hokhmah, Netsah!!!" She spoke in draconic language. Thousands of magic circles appeared around her, with enough power to destroy the planet hundreds of times. This was proof that she was indeed at the level of a powerhouse capable of destroying the entire solar system, but...

Scathach frowned with disgust: "What are these flashy words!? You are a dragon, fight like a dragon!"

Taking the Spear, she swung it once, and a wave of pure, controlled power burst out, destroying all the beams of power and the magic circles. Thousandths of a second later, Scathach was already in front of her.

"Clench your teeth." Scathach closed her fist as her hand turned into pure raw power, making reality in her fists come apart.

"Damn!!!"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Albedo flew toward the ground, creating a huge crater several hundred meters deep.

"In a high-level fight, flashy power is simply useless! At the top, everything comes down to the basics. The stronger your basics are, the stronger you are! The foundation is what matters most!"

"Get up!"

"SHOW ME YOUR PRIDE!!!" Scathach was an incarnation of crimson power, and now nothing could be seen on her, only her power rising upward.

"... She is really scary when she gets excited." Ariel shuddered as she spoke.

"There is a reason why Victor is the only one who managed to calm her down: they are the same species," Ruby replied.

"The spells Albedo used were from the Tree of Life, Kabbalah?" Dun Scaith asked.

"Yes. As dragon gods, our runic words have meaning, and the higher a god’s divinity, the more weight these words carry. She tried to apply the concept of the Kabbalah tree in her spells to form an even greater spell." Anna explained. As the one who was more advanced in draconic runes, she understood this very well.

"... It is a good theory, but." She shook her head in disappointment.

"It is useless against beings like Scathach and Victor. They are so strong that, for them, this is only flashy power, as she said." Violet completed.

"Don’t underestimate me!"

"Hokhmah, Binah, Yesod!" She spoke again in draconic language.

Thousands of magic circles formed and began to mess with reality. Everything inverted: the air became toxic, reality became hostile to the enemy, and she made the entire dimension a hell more hellish than hell itself. A technique that weakened the enemy.

She tried to forcibly bend Scathach’s reality by placing several negative effects on her, but...

"It is useless. My existence is my own personal reality." Scathach huffed.

"You cannot alter the reality of a being that is above you both in power and in divine concept, and especially not Scathach, who uses draconic runes mainly for combat. A long time ago, she learned to protect herself from this ability. After all, her training partner is Darling, whose own existence, when he releases all his power, shapes reality." Anna shook her head.

Yes, Anna was a master of draconic runes, and she had a natural affinity with them, but not even she could say that she beats Scathach when the matter is using these runes for combat. That woman was simply a natural-born warrior.

"Tsk." Albedo tried to use other spells she’d recently learned, but Scathach interrupted her, slightly irritated.

"You mages, or long-distance fighters, always have a terrible habit: you completely focus on your path and forget that there are beings like me who master everything."

"You want to play with a spell that shapes reality!? Very well, clench your teeth and enjoy."

"Ah... She is going to use her ultimate." Ruby murmured.

"Ultimate?" Ariel asked.

"You will understand," Ruby replied.

"Darling?" Violet asked.

[I am watching.] Victor replied.

Violet, Sasha, Hestia, and Pepper sighed in relief.

Giant draconic wings appeared behind Scathach, and her body shone with pure power.

"In the past, when my mother was a noble vampire, she named this ability: Three Steps to Creation. She used her maximum ability to control ice in the form of Count Vampire, along with the ancient runes, and created an ability that can easily destroy an entire continent. It was a maximum ability that mixed raw power and crowd control. She did not need an army because she was a one-man army."

"And since she never stays still, I bet she evolved this ability even further."

She opened her mouth and spoke in draconic language, only a runic language:

"Heptagrammakos"

The reality of the dimension froze, and everything became pure darkness before thousands of eyes, mouths, and more appeared around the arena.

All those present felt a headache, as they felt their sanity level decrease a little.

"She is using Eldritch runes too," Violet said, using her power of Order to ease the headache.

"Hepta-gramma-kos, that is a choice of words for a complicated spell," Sasha said.

"Hepta means seven. Gramma means letter, or inscription, but it can also be understood as leaving a lasting mark. And Kos is probably cosmos, or the beginning of creation."

"The literal translation of the runes would be: Seven marks that begin creation. Just to initiate these runes, a ridiculously high amount of energy is needed, but combine that with the control of energy she has, and she probably did not even spend much energy." Sasha spoke incredulously.

"... As expected of Mother." Ruby shook her head. She became even more absurd: "Although the name of the technique can be improved."

"It is not the name of a technique; they are her words being placed into reality," Violet said.

"I know... But it could still be made cooler." Ruby did not give up.

"I can’t move!!! And not even my spells work." Albedo panicked, utterly terrified. In this space of pure darkness, she could not do anything. Her biology was adapting quickly, but even that wasn’t enough to stop a rune invoking Eldritch and Draconic power at its peak.

The dimension would have broken a long time ago if Victor had not actively reinforced its power.

When the thousands of eyes began to shine slightly, carrying enormous power, he knew it was time to intervene.

Scathach opened her arms with a huge smile on her face: "Behold! Creation is beautiful, and everything begins with a-."

"I think that is enough." Victor appeared behind Scathach and held her arm.
