Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 1174: Mutated Divine Embryonic Seed



"Still, there was a limit to how much their bodies could endure. Once that limit was reached, they would die. The only difference was that they could not produce Vylkr energy naturally, just like his first subjects, and had to depend on harnessing Vylkr energy from other sources. However, what he initially counted as a setback was another tremendous progress.

"Regardless, that was all the progress he made. At that point, he gave up, deeming the entire endeavour a failure. He collected samples of the Vylkr energy and various other things, then made several arrangements before leaving elsewhere after ensuring that his tracks wouldn't be traced easily."

Her voice became sombre as she continued.

"After all that, I had to watch as the consequences of his experiments rippled through the races within the pocket dimension. The races became divided and fought relentlessly-over resources and limited land space-while battling those who had succumbed to the Death plague. Like the Vylkr energy, the infected adapted quickly to the environment and their prey, creating countless more casualties. Several races went extinct from infighting and genocide."

"At that point, I couldn't remain idle any longer and had to intervene. Fortunately, the curse was sealed, which slowed its effects on my body-weakened my body and prevented me from using my divine energy. However, that wasn't an issue. I was still comparable to that of a divine being. I united the survivors and channelled their rage toward the tainted ones."

"Using the knowledge I had gained from Naka's laboratory while observing his work, I created the Void Heart, which could prolong their lives and ensure that even those tainted could indirectly continue protecting their races after death. This also meant they would collectively hunt the tainted ones without further intervention. The results were satisfying, and I had no issue with it."

"You created the Void Heart?" Orion exclaimed, his voice tinged with surprise.

Aurora also bore a look of surprise but quickly suppressed it.

The goddess turned her gaze toward Orion and nodded. "Its creation was based on understanding the complex structures of the curse, the ranks of energies and the mortal body -something no mere mortal could achieve. So, yes, it makes sense for it to be the handiwork of a divine being," she replied. "Nonetheless, I didn't create it alone, so I wouldn't be so arrogant as to take full credit for something as trivial as that."

"Who aided you? Was it a divine being?" Orion asked.

"Yes, it was a divine being. Her name was Margona, the goddess of Malevolence and Witches. If you're familiar with that time, you should know she was one of the eight Greed Gods. Curses were one of her specialities; with her help, I could weaken and delay the effects of the Vylkr energy," the goddess responded.

Hearing this, Orion frowned, his expression filled with confusion.

Even Aurora looked at her strangely.

"Wasn't she already dead before all of this happened?" Orion asked.

"We know that only two of the eight Greed Gods survived, while Naka killed the rest," Aerialia said with a nod, frowning deeply. "You had better be telling the truth and not making things up because we can easily tell if you're lying."

The goddess glanced at Orion, hidden within the barrier, then refocused on Aerialia and exhaled wearily. "It seems you don't know everything, then," she said, shaking her head in disappointment.

Her words caused both Orion and Aerialia to furrow their brows in confusion.

The goddess continued, "Naka never eliminated any god. Every god he claimed to have killed was sealed and used to further his experiments. Do you think a man obsessed with creating the perfect race would destroy us completely-the gods who are the architects of such races? In his words, 'What better way to understand a structure than by meeting its architect?' The great god of creation and illusion, the Aegis of the Arctic Deity, and I served his purposes, as did the others."

Orion's expression twisted with disbelief.

Aerialia and Aurora mirrored his shock and disbelief, their faces reflecting the same bewilderment.

"Regardless, I don't know why he didn't kill them entirely. Maybe some last remnant of goodwill, a flicker of sympathy, made him leave them to their fates. Or maybe he saw that they would die anyway, so he did not need to waste his time ensuring an already predestined outcome."

"Or perhaps that bastard was hoping for a miracle, thinking he could return later to reap the rewards... I don't know! I didn't care! To prevent history from repeating itself, I killed them myself using the Vylkr energy, eliminating their entire existence and ensuring they couldn't reincarnate—even if their children survived or they had hidden divine embryonic seeds somewhere."

"The only one I spared was Margona because I recognized her usefulness. She was already at her limit, just like me, but the Vylkr energy made it easy to control her. Over time, I realized it wasn't enough—that the Death plague must be cured or halted indefinitely. Meanwhile, the curse was slowly devouring me, weakening my body. But I needed to use my divine energy to accomplish either, which would have been a death sentence."

"So, how did you solve your situation?" Aerialia asked, her ethereal body tensed. She couldn't fathom how the goddess had achieved something even Naka had struggled to accomplish.

The goddess took a deep breath before responding. "If I had attempted reincarnation with an incomplete soul, the consequences would've been disastrous. But Margona also had a fractured divine soul, so she was in the same situation. We had neither the opportunity nor the time to wait for our divine souls to heal. So, we took another approach: we created a special divine embryonic seed capable of housing our divine souls and allowed our souls to compensate for the other's weaknesses."

"You what?!" Aerialia exclaimed, her voice echoing through the chamber.

The radiant crimson greatsword glowed even more intensely.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her eyes widened in disbelief. The more she listened, the more she grasped the sheer absurdity of what the goddess had gone through.

"Is that even possible?" Orion asked, his voice tinged with curiosity.

"Yes, it's possible. However, the divine embryonic seed could either self-destruct due to the incompatibility of both divine souls or suffer severe damage along with the gods. After a while, the gods realized that their chances of reincarnation in such a state were slim, so no one tried it any more. It didn't benefit either party. But I've never heard of two gods attempting it in such a unique and dire situation," Aerialia explained, glancing at Orion before returning her gaze to the goddess.

"Since you are here, it must have worked, right?" She held her breath in anticipation.

"The divine embryonic seed was created with a natural filter for the curse, similar to the Void Heart, and was designed as a perfect vessel for me and the goddess Margona. That way, if either of our divine souls managed to survive, we could keep the special divine embryonic seed for ourselves and successfully reincarnate. We vowed never to rest until we hunted down Naka. But if both divine souls self-destructed, then so be it."

"Fortunately, things didn't go as either of us expected. We could both reincarnate within the divine embryonic seed, our souls tied together. When we awakened, we realized we were sharing the same body, something we hadn't planned for. This allowed us to suppress the curse and turn it into a blessing. The Vylkr energy no longer sought to devour me."

"Instead, it became a unique energy we could naturally produce ourselves. We suspected various reasons for this. The most plausible was that we had been baptized with enough Vylkr energy for the curse to no longer see us as foreign. Or perhaps the divine embryonic seed, which had delayed and filtered the Vylkr energy, evolved into something entirely different- capable of housing the unified existence of two distinct divine souls."

The atmosphere grew tense.

Aerialia's gaze sharpened, her body trembling as she absorbed everything she had just heard.

In all her lifetimes, she had never encountered anything like this, and yet... in just 7,000 years... it seemed as though everyone was overturning every concept they once understood, doing something abnormal at every turn.

'No, this was all because of the curse! None of this would have transpired if we had never entered this universe created by the Omnithriallians through the Stellar Gate,' Aerialia

thought.

Countless memories surged in Aerialia's mind of how terrifying the Omnithriallians were while alive-and how much more so even in death.

Orion wasn't well-versed in the complexness of godhood, but he was knowledgeable enough

to understand everything he had just heard.

Even Aurora couldn't help but look at the floating goddess with shock and disbelief.

"Does that mean that one of the Eight Greed Gods, the goddess of malevolence and witches, is

also within you?" Orion asked.

"Yes," the goddess responded with a nod.

Two audible gulps echoed across the chamber.

Aurora gritted her teeth and utilized her sceptre to strengthen the barrier around her and

Orion until its divine radiance spilt out of the chamber.
