"Is it time?"
I sat atop the Valter Throne, a seat of my own making, while addressing the two servants by my side. The two androgynous young humanoids had their faces perpetually facing the floor, and only when I spoke to them did they dare to raise their heads.
Two black wings spread out wide from their backs as they spoke with a revered tone:
"We have received word that the four High Ladies will arrive soon, my Lord."
"Good."
I lazily waved them off, and the two reset to their default bowing form. Feeling bored from all the waiting, I carefully examined the two 'Angels' I'd created.
Both of them looked like young teen girls with porcelain skin and beautiful features, yet at the same time, they had a certain masculine look to their eyes and rough chin. It seemed impossible to determine whether they were males or females just by looking at them, and it was done deliberately.
Initially, I intended to make them look exactly like young servant girls. However, that decision was heavily vetoed by my four wives. They were afraid I would create an Angel so gorgeous that it would seduce me and take my attention away from them.
While I felt that it was ludicrous, I could see their concern. If I created handsome male Angels that served the four of them… I would be uneasy too. Therefore, we came up with a compromise.
The Angels will neither look like a man nor a woman. Just a regular-looking androgynous humanoid that you could encounter while walking down the street.
But, of course, the insides of the Angels were anything but ordinary.
Empowered by my Vampire Aspect and the Faith Energy I'd gathered, the Angels were in many ways a thousand times better than the ones of the Holy Church. They were perfected to fight in any condition or weather. Be it in the ocean's depths or high up in Outer Space. Given their endurance and tenacity, they could fight on the surface of the Sun.
They also had a near-endless amount of Faith Energy to pull from as the Faith Dimension I'd created grew exponentially by the day. In time, the Angels under my command will be strong enough to rival an entire planet's army, and I could single-handedly defeat the entire world without even lifting my finger.
But my army will take a few decades to reach that point.
"Brother, we're ready."
Whilst I was lost in my thoughts, a lustrous voice woke me from my stupor. I raised my head from the throne and gazed at the hall's entrance.
Four divine beauties sashayed, their hips swaying from left to right, their bodies immaculate and pristine. Dressed in their signature colours, my four wives highlighted their unique traits as they sauntered to my side.
Irina, that little minx, was dressed in a white gown with crystal snowflakes decorating her collarbone and waist. Weeks have passed since our marriage, and I couldn't see the impish, immature youth that once playfully stored my nail cuttings and strands of my hair in a secretive box. Right now, the woman standing before me was a well-toned beauty with a maturity only found in the most experienced women.
Lilith, the next Goddess who walked up, was much the same. Wearing a lilac off-the-shoulder blouse and a dark blue skirt with black stockings, Lilith seemed far more mature than usual. Like a high-ranking lawyer or executive, she completed her intelligent look with a gentle smile and warm, tender loving eyes.
Ysabelle slipped on a black camisole highlighting her natural curves, including the massive fruits almost splitting from her dress. She'd fully completed her metamorphosis from a budding Amazonian warrior to the Goddess of War over the past few months, turning into a jaw-dropping perfect athlete with not an ounce of excess fat beneath her skin. She was, by all accounts, the most physically fit woman on the planet, and the ease with which she held her claymore showed her innate strength. Yet, simultaneously, there was a gleeful innocence behind that facade, and that dichotomy was Ysabelle's biggest charm.
And finally, there was Rosa. Cautiously wearing her conservative emerald A-line dress, that was all one needed to know about her character. On the surface, she was cold and indifferent, but beneath it all… She was a young gentle lamb.
All my wives were unique in their ways, and I would never wish to change any of them.
"I'm sure you've guessed, but I've gathered all of you here to witness my fight against the united coalition of humanity."
"We know that," Irina pouted her lips and replied in haste: "And we're here to counter that."
"Counter that?"
"Yes," Lilith replied in Irina's place. "We've had enough of standing on the sidelines while you fight for us."
"We want to fight too!" Ysabelle declared with her hands on her chest. "We're stronger now! We've been training too! Plus, we don't want you to carry all the burdens! Y-You're… Our husband now!"
"Let us fight too…" Rosa grabbed onto my sleeves in a yearning manner with her eyes resolute.
I see… So they weren't willing to remain as trophy wives for a powerful husband… They were proud women with their own powers and skills. Even before I'd arrived in the Vampire World, the four girls were already famous for their genius. Irina was Matriarch Innocence's favourite heir, Lilith was the future leader of the Moonreaver House, Ysabelle was widely considered the greatest talent in the Blackburn House, and Rosa was already the strongest Vampire in the Shadowgarden House.
All four had their own pride and weren't willing to sit on the sidelines for long. Especially since I was facing the combined force of mankind alone.
I watched the four women with a gleeful smile and said:
"Okay, I accept."
"W-Wait, really?!"
The four girls opened their eyes wide, seemingly unable to comprehend the words that came out of my mouth. And well, it was natural that they would feel that way. I have been overprotective of the girls and wouldn't let them lift a finger for my sake. In the past, I was just afraid of scaring them or risking their lives. But now that I've taken one step towards the Hegemon…
"Yes, I'll let you fight alongside me. In fact, why don't you start the battle for me?"
"Y-You're serious?"
Lilith dug her ears for earwax, thinking her hearing had gone impaired. The rest of the girls were dumbfounded too, and they struggled to find words to reply to my nonchalance.
"Ah, but there is one condition though…" I walked over to the four stunned girls and grabbed their hands.
As expected, their wedding rings were still firmly attached to their fingers, each glowing with their unique majestic colours. Since losing my Soul Armament, the rings were nothing more than colourful ornaments that shimmered like any other jewellery.
But I'm going to change that…
"I know the four of you are strong, and few can challenge you, but I worry for your safety… So, let me give you one final blessing."
First, I pulled Irina's ring closer to my face, drawing a blush on her snowy white cheeks. I resisted the urge to tease the girl and gently planted my lips on the azure gemstone.
"For my precious little sister and my first wife who awakened my power, I shall grant you the power to freeze all of Spacetime."
Heeding my words, a mysterious power engulfed the ring and absorbed my 'miracle'. Satisfied with the result, I headed to Lilith and did the same to her hand and ring.
"For my Bloodmate and the one who opened my eyes to how creative I could be, I shall grant you the power of Creation."
The same thing happened to Lilith's ring. A rainbow light burst through the gem, wrapping Lilith and me in a warm, all-encompassing light.
"For my sweet Ysabelle, the woman who showed me what power must be used for and how I could use it to destroy my enemies… I shall grant you the power of Destruction."
Ysabelle's wedding ring exploded into life, with the second absorbing vast amounts of crimson energy. Usually, it would take a special type of person to sustain the massive, destructive energy, and fortunately, Ysabelle's high endurance and special body type were made for just this instance.
And finally…
"For the keeper of my dreams, and the one who has protected me all my life… Rosa… I grant you the power of Life."
Rosa closed her emerald eyes and accepted my power injection with a loving smile. Rosa, who was already the vessel of the World Tree and the woman who controlled every plant in the world, has now reached a new threshold.
The four girls completed their final blessing and awakening without a single risk to their lives and were now the undisputed strongest women on the planet. No, they were the strongest women in the galaxy.
Only the Goddess of Destiny, who had absorbed a portion of my powers for her prophetic dreams, could compare to the four Goddesses standing before me.
And I knew… With these four by my side, no entity in the Universe could ever harm me.
"Let's defeat humanity, shall we?"
❖❖❖
The day of destiny had arrived. Jin Valter had waged war against the World, and the Earth had sent their best to the battlegrounds that Jin had prepared. If it was anyone else, humanity would have ignored the ludicrous request for a final battle to determine who would control the planet. However, the person who declared war wasn't just any random person.
Jin Valter.
The new Progenitor of the Vampire race. The strongest living creature on the planet and the person who killed three Demon Lords on his own. An existence so terrifying that every Vampire House now revered him, and there was a religion made just to worship him. A monster that went far beyond any danger rating and was indisputably, more dangerous than the Outer Demon threat. Not to mention, Valter Inc was now responsible for ten percent of the world's energy and in time, the company would monopolise the energy market and dominate humanity anyway.
Humanity knew that they had to accept this challenge.
It would be the most televised event in living memory, and everyone above S-ranked was invited to join the battle.
Hunters, Werewolves, Exorcists… They were all gathered in this one place to face the existential threat. Over ten thousand of the world's elites stood cautiously over the inverted mountain, and the tension in the air was so palpable that one could cut it with a knife.
And as the clock struck noon…
A tear in Spacetime opened up in the distance, enabling five individuals to walk through.
Four of the world's, no, the Universe's most beautiful women were the first to step out. They wore thin clothing with light armour to protect their modesty and vitals. Yet, even though they weren't dressed for battle, the ferocious looks in their eyes were enough to kill a million soldiers.
Alas, even though the girls were jaw-droppingly gorgeous, no one paid much attention to them. Their eyes were plastered on the man behind them, who walked casually as if this was this routine evening walk.
And yet, no one could shake the uneasiness in their hearts. Feeling his presence, their souls trembled, and their bodies refused to move. Many fought off the urge to escape, while others collapsed on the spot. Only those with tremendous wills could stay conscious in front of the beast, and at the same time, they all had one thought in their mind.
'So this is Jin Valter…'
Jin observed the gathered participants and could identify some familiar faces. The Alpha Werewolf that crossed his path many moons back, Father Amorth of the Holy Church, and a plethora of other famous S-ranked Hunters.
They were all here to challenge his hegemony.
And that simple fact was enough to make the man break out in laughter.
"Struggle all you want… For your destiny has been sealed."
