Chapter 1175: The Dragon Emperor’s Reverse Scale.

The birth of Moira Eutychia Elderblood was an event for the whole family. All the mothers adored the new youngest member of the family, and all the older sisters had a new little sister to spoil. However, her birth also sent a clear signal to the entire universe, as even though she was hidden in Victor’s soul, her connection was simply too deep.

And Victor, who was currently spoiling his daughters, felt it immediately.

’Annoying insect that keeps buzzing in my ear.’ Victor narrowed his eyes.

Victor gently smiled at his beloved youngest daughter, caressed her head, and spoke: "Play with your older sisters, okay? Daddy needs to work."

"Hmm!" She nodded and ran to her older sisters.

"Ehh? Daddy, will you come back?" Valentina asked.

"Of course, Darling, I always come back. Take care of your little sister, okay? I need to go." He caressed her head.

"... Hmm! Okay, Daddy!"

Victor smiled gently at his daughters and waved goodbye before turning around. When he turned around, his face completely deformed into something horrible, and those emotions were felt by his wives, who were married to his soul.

"Daddy is very angry," Yuno said.

"Yes," Yog spoke next.

"We need to get stronger to help him," Yuno said.

All the sisters who were nearby nodded their heads seriously.

Moira was the only one who looked at everyone, confused. Despite being very smart and already having common knowledge in her head from birth, she was still, after all, a newborn.

[My wives, I want all of you on standby immediately. Prepare for a possible universal-scale extinction event]

They all shuddered when they heard what he said.

Upon hearing Victor’s order, Violet immediately stepped into action.

[Everyone on standby! Go to your posts and prepare to assist the Emperor at any moment, if necessary.]

"Anna, I leave them to you."

"Yes."

"Tyche, you stay."

"But-."

"Just like our daughter, you are a newborn dragon, and you still don’t know how to fight as a dragon goddess. Therefore, the best thing you can do right now is help Darling with your divinity." Violet spoke and then turned around and disappeared.

Anna placed her hand on Tyche’s shoulder and shook her head. Tyche sighed frustratedly, but soon her eyes grew more serious. Next time this happened, she would not be helpless. She was a dragon goddess now.

...

Arriving at the command room where her sisters were, Violet spoke: "Does anyone know who the enemy is?" She didn’t even have to wait long for her sister Azathoth to appear.

"Those damn annoying insects." Azathoth appeared, speaking. "It’s the Primordials, or something close to them. I can feel their disgusting presence from anywhere."

It seems that her words with Tyche came back to bite her: "If they are the Primordials, we cannot intervene in a fight at this level, but we can serve as energy for Darling." They knew their limitations, and they were not at that level yet. Only Azathoth or Victor could intervene when it came to the Primordials.

"I will help too," Azathoth spoke. She was so irritated that the sanity level of the women around was rapidly decreasing just from her temper.

The crown on Violet’s head spun, and a power of Order spread around, containing the effects of decreasing sanity.

"Assist with whatever is necessary, for now we observe."

"Yes." Azathoth nodded.

"Jeanne, you know what to do. Roxanne, have all the world trees on standby."

"Yes." Roxanne nodded seriously and began coordinating with the world trees.

...

In the space between two galaxies, Victor stood in his dragon form at full power. In this form, he was larger than entire galaxies and had so much power that, if he did not control it, the gravity of his own body would mess up the galaxies near him.

Observing the sea of stars with a solemn look in his eyes, he spoke:

"System, talk to me. It’s been a while since we talked, hasn’t it?"

[....]

"I know you’re there. There’s no point in hiding. You’ve been buzzing in my ear since my daughter was born."

A genderless being made of pure energy appeared in front of him.

The dragon, eyes the size of entire solar systems, focused on the point of light before him: "I think this is the first time we’ve met, isn’t it?"

"Yes."

"Tell me, why are you here?"

System chose their words carefully: "... Your daughter, she is an anomaly. No one was born with this level of Authority in the universe, not even the Primordials. Every gram of Authority the Primordials have today was given by him, mine included."

"The birth of your daughter caused chaos in the very structure of the universe. Someone was born with the power to influence the universe just by existing. Yet, no one seems to know this."

The draconic eyes narrowed, and slowly Victor’s power output began to increase. His power was so immense that it was causing cosmic clouds made of pure divine concepts.

"When something like this happens, all the Primordials are notified, but nothing happened."

"Because of this, I was trying to observe her."

Exactly, they were trying. Even with all their Authority, they could not invade Victor’s Eldritch soul to spy on Moira. All of Victor’s daughters live inside his soul, the soul of a highest-ranking cosmic horror, so System tried to observe, but they found nothing. Which was absurd, as they were made to have no boundaries, but even so, they could not observe this man.

"... You reek of deception, System." Victor did not believe anything they had said so far.

Before the eyes of the Progenitor of the blood dragons, no falsehood would remain hidden. This fact only served to irritate the Emperor.

"....."

"You are playing with words and pretending to be a fool. You know what is happening, but you still play with words... A very sentient attitude, isn’t it?" His eyes narrowed even further. "How ironic, when I asked in the past about your ego, you did not answer. But I think now I have the answer, don’t I?"

’Ignore the anomalies.’ Akashic’s warning still echoed in System’s mind, but they could not- not this time. The daughter was the key. Their purpose of creation was to keep the universe stable, and it was not stable, not since the Primordial of Fate died. An overwhelming force was keeping everything running, but until when? How long will this force keep everything running? The universe needed a Primordial of Fate because without Fate the universe had no future, and if it had no future, it had no order, only chaos. They needed to do what they were created to do.

"You are right. I apologize." System was as diplomatic as possible, something they had never been throughout their entire existence: "I came here for only one purpose. Your daughter must become the Primordial of Fate."

"No."

Victor’s answer came as the structure of reality around them began breaking apart. This entire ephemeral bubble that was the Middle Sector was unable to maintain Victor’s existence. It was he himself who was holding the structure of reality together so that it would not break, but... This was temporary: an increase in power output, one wrong movement, and he lets everything out. He did not care if this bubble broke, and if this was not enough, he would not care about letting everything out.

"... Dragon Emperor, you do not understand. Do you know how compatible she is? She was born to be a Primordial. All of reality loves her. With a wish, the entire universe will comply with her decision. She is below only the Primordial Chaos in administrative access. She is a perfect Primordial, and with her taking over as the Primordial of Fate, the universe will be even more stable."

That Authority was not complete. She could not order the universe to do something, because she was not a Primordial and had no true Authority. Her Authority worked more passively, as her desires dictated what the universe would do. It was an incomplete Authority, but it was already enough. No being in all of creation after Primordial Chaos was born with this level of Authority naturally. She was an anomaly at the same level as her father.

From this point of view, the choice was logical. The Emperor’s daughter was the perfect tool to keep the universe stable. Even though she wasn’t born with a power related to time, it didn’t matter, since she could gain that Authority easily later with their help.

Instead of answering this statement from System, Victor spoke:

"Throughout all this time, I have always wondered. Why do the Primordials seem so... Artificial? Some of them, like The Universal Tree, are full of life and personality, while others are just like the Judges Of The Abyss, impartial and indifferent beings that only do what they are designed to do. Despite having personality and ego, their thoughts are very narrow."

"And looking at you now, I understand. When he created this universe, when making those responsible for keeping the universe functioning, he limited you, didn’t he? You are just tools."

It is like the angels of the heavenly father. At the beginning, the angels were nothing more than divine tools, and only later did they gain ego. Letting his daughter become a primordial would be like a father watching his daughter suffer brain damage and become an emotionless being with little ego. Therefore, the answer was obvious, and it was:

"No."

"I don’t care about the universe, and I don’t care about its stability. You want my daughter, System. You will have to go through me first." Victor’s eyes shone.

Hundreds of thousands of eyes began to open all over Victor’s draconic body, and the weight of his own existence was breaking the very structure of space and reality. Like a broken mirror, several cracks were beginning to form around them. The threat could not be more explicit than this.

"... You will kill trillions, mess up the entire structure of reality for just one person?" System could not understand this at all.

"Yes."

Nothing was more important than his family. Victor had been like this from the beginning, and always would be. He was the Emperor now, and he took care of his subordinates, but if placed on a scale between his daughter and his people, he would choose his daughter and family 100% of the time.

And who said that his people would suffer? His soul was gigantic, and it could easily fit a few dozen trillions of beings if he so desired. He just didn’t do so because that was a safe haven for his family, their home, and he did not want to contaminate it with those who were not as important to him.

But if necessary, he could easily expand his personal universe and create several distant planets for his people to live on, or even create entire dimensions for them, so he wouldn’t have to sacrifice any of his people.

"....." System was genuinely at a loss as to what to do in the face of such a simple answer.
