Chapter 1088: Time.

"Time heals everything."

A phrase that is usually said to another person when someone is going through difficult times, whether personal, financial, or romantic.

But these words did not apply to everyone, at least, not for Beings with a lifespan as long as the Gods.

Gods were made in a peculiar way and worked differently. Their perception of Time seemed much slower than that of other Races.

100 years for a Human was an enormous amount of time for them.

100,000 years for a God was not a big deal. Usually, these Beings tended to remain unchanged for longer than that. Just look at the classic examples of the Greek Pantheon, whose Gods maintained the same personality even after thousands of years.

A stagnant society. This was the way to describe the society of the Gods. Beings, no matter what type, whether Mortal or not, grow with interactions and exposure to something different.

Aphrodite began her process of change when she met Adonis, and as the story unfolded, she decided to travel to the various Pantheons of Earth. Through this journey, she met different types of people and learned about other cultures. She grew for the first time as both a person and as a Goddess.

She experienced the 'change' that Humans in their rushed societies experienced almost daily. This was an excellent example of how a God could change.

Victor understood this, and by understanding this, he was advancing his integration plan.

As he walked through the Imperial Palace built in his Personal Domain, Victor and Roxanne listened to Kaguya's reports, and, like him, she was also in her 'Goddess' form.

As described previously, the Goddess Form, or Emperor and Empress Form, was nothing more than their tallest forms, roughly 4 to 5 meters tall. Depending on the occasion, Victor could assume up to 7 to 10 meters in height, as a means of conveying the 'Divine' feeling to Mortals.

After all, image was everything. Victor was currently 5 meters tall, and Kaguya was 4 and a half meters tall.

"Sister Velnorah began her conquest with enthusiasm, and the Milky Way has practically been completely mapped, and we've found traces of several World Trees

growing. As ordered, we immediately settled on the planets with life, and acquired the consciousness of the World Trees. They will grow with their sisters now."

Roxanne, who was the same height as Kaguya, said: "In the City of World Trees, we've received 300 seedlings and 3 more developed sisters."

The City of World Trees, a fancy name for a place that was nothing more than a small village whose population was made up entirely of World Trees located on Victor's Personal Planet.

The World Trees were the source of Life on the planet, so taking care of them was essential, and eventually, all of them would connect with Victor. This way, it would be easier to organize his entire Domain, and with this connection, Victor would be able to protect the planets under his Domain more easily.

A job that only someone with a Soul as abnormal as Victor's could handle. After all, the pressure of one World Tree was already great, but hundreds of them? It was surreal.

But for Victor, it wasn't a problem. Not only did he have an abnormal Soul, but he also had Roxanne and Amara managing everything.

"What is the progress for the appearance of their counterparts?"

"The World Trees of Negativity will take a long time to be born. Most of them are just seedlings in development. Any Sentient Being will take thousands of years to be born naturally."

The World Tree of Positivity was born first. It was the one that nourished the planet. and Life on the planet. After a while, when sentient life appeared, the World Tree of Negativity would be born to manage the more Spiritual side of the planet.

It was a balance that was repeated on all planets without exception. It was one of the fundamental Rules of The Universe enforced by The Primordial of Life, The Universal

Tree.

"After conquering and completely mapping the Milky Way, Sister Velnorah will join Sister Rose and Eleonor in conquering the planet."

"By the time she gets there, Eleonor and Rose will probably have already conquered everything."

"That's true. We predict that their next course of action is to go to the other Galaxies around them and continue their expansion."

"But... We've found a problem."

"Our Sector is too big for so few people, right?"

"Yes... And with the imminent arrival of the Upper Sectors, we predict that some of the nearby Galaxies will be taken over by Factions from the Upper Sectors."

"Even with our clone technology, we can't populate that many planets. We need more people."

Victor nodded. He had already foreseen that this would be an issue. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, as the Middle Sectors took billions of years to enter the Upper Sectors.

Take Velnorah, for example. In her former Empire, there were hundreds of conquered worlds that were fully developed. In comparison, this Sector was simply too young. This entire process of evolution was being advanced simply because of the presence of Victor and his Faction. He alone was pushing the entire Sector to evolve. Victor was like a whale in a small lake. His existence was simply too big to fit in.

Victor's presence was so great that the Universe itself limited his movement. For example, with all his strength now, he cannot go and visit the Underworld that is the home of the Witches.

But as always, Victor knew how to get around these limitations. If he couldn't go at full strength, he could simply create a conscious clone with fewer 'Divinities' and send it there. The result would be the same.

The conquest of the Witches' home planet was essential to understanding how the Universe worked.

"We must protect our home. All the Galaxies near the Milky Way will have to be completely conquered. We will form a line of defense for future wars."

"We will divide the planet into functions, agricultural planets, construction/mining planets, and storage planets. Outposts will also be essential. We need to expand our Clone Factories as well to produce at least 100 million clones every year.

"Are these planets really necessary? Can't you just create materials?" Kaguya asked.

"Yes, that is true, but we must not take the work out of the hands of Mortals." Victor said and then added: "Beings need to work to live, and they need a daily routine. Knowing that everything can be obtained easily breeds laziness and stagnation." "Not to mention that Beings value what is earned more than what is easily given." A man will never forget a car he suffered for and fought to obtain, while a car that was casually given to him would be appreciated less. Victor understood this very well. "If there is a shortage of resources, The Empire can always send more. We are providing everything for now, but when The Empire's bases are ready, I will stop providing for them, and they will be the ones to provide them."

"Work for The Empire and be rewarded, huh," Roxanne muttered.

Victor nodded at his Wife's words.

"Do you intend to provide Power increases like you did with the Demons?"

"Yes, but only to those who gain a certain level of loyalty. Strength increase rewards

will only be available to citizens who reach G-2 in trust levels."

...This will cause dissatisfaction."

"Beings are always dissatisfied. It is in our nature." Victor spoke naturally: "I have given many tools to increase their Power, The Tower of Nightmares being a perfect example. I intend to place one of these Towers in every Mega City."

"The Power increase reward must be something exclusive and unique, something that

I only give for a great deed.

"Along with the Tower of Nightmares, technology, medicine, Supernatural matters like ruins, everything is accessible to those who make the effort."

"Even an ordinary Human can transform into a Superhuman capable of dealing with

an Adult Vampire, thanks to my support."

"I gave them the tools. It's up to them to use them."

"... Beings are fools, Darling. A good example of this is the internet. Such a powerful

tool for knowledge that is only used for memes and watching porn," Roxanne said.

"I know that laziness and lack of motivation are some of the factors, but I intend to deal with them. In fact, the one who will deal with this is Hestia, who will make the new generations more hard-working. After all, people will always see 'superheroes' with incredible Powers, and they will always wonder if one day they can be like them. This very thought will generate motivation... And the fear of failure. After all, The Empire does not need useless people."

"...Darling, I realize that most of our current problems are caused by a lack of time. Maybe we should slow down?"

In less than 100 years, the barrier of the Upper Sectors will disappear, and this entire

group of Galaxies that form theSsector where Victor lived will be part of a cluster of

larger Galaxies.

The race against time was making everyone work to the maximum in several areas... But there was still not enough time.

Introducing new concepts of technology, science, and ideologies to a group of conquered Beings required time. The change could not be too abrupt, too fast, or too slow, but must be at the right pace.

Unfortunately, they did not have that time.

"That is not possible. I intend to have this entire Sector conquered for future wars."

Kaguya and Roxanne sighed. They had a long job ahead of them, but they couldn't do anything since Victor's orders were absolute. As his Wives, they could advise him and give him new perspectives, but at the end of the day, The Emperor's decision was how The Empire moved.

Victor smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I've already thought of a solution to this problem."

Kommun looked at Dovanne for information hut Dovanna iuct shook her hand, coving

she didn't know anything. Due to the constant flow of new 'sister' World Trees, she was too busy managing them all and ensuring their safety, as well as their survival. After all, being removed from their planet in such a young state was dangerous. They needed Energy to survive, and the ones providing that Energy were Roxanne and

Amara.

This means it was Victor, too, considering that the two were part of Victor's Soul. As they passed through a large door, the group saw several familiar faces. Scathach, Dun Scaith, Albedo and her daughter Evie, Ruby, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Jeanne, Yggdrasil, Hela, Violet, and last but not least, Natalia, the big MVP of this

situation.
