Chapter 974: Technocracy

Chapter 974: Technocracy.

The next day, after tending to Violet, Haruna, Nyx, and Amaterasu using their new dream powers, and expanding the area of ??his room so that 7 days indoors equaled 1 day outside, Victor returned to walking through Elvenorah, with a giant woman by his side.

“… Honestly, I could get used to having you at this height.” Velnorah spoke as she looked Victor in the eyes, feeling her heart flutter with excitement. Previously, she could only look up at him, but now she could see him eye to eye.

The former 2 meters of height that Victor had were gone, replaced by a man nearly 4 meters tall. The same height that Velnorah was now, as she had grown a bit as her soul adjusted to her current body.

“Form and appearance mean nothing to me… I can be whatever I want, whenever I want,” Victor said as his appearance shifted to that of a child, then back to that of a teenager, until returning to his 4-meter form.

“You say that, but all you’ve shown is yourself.” 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝘰𝑚

“Well, my appearance is perfect, why would I want to change it?” Victor asked genuinely confused, despite being a shapeshifter who can become anything, he is too proud of himself to change his face.

Velnorah couldn’t argue against this logic; after all, it might seem narcissistic, but out of every 100 people she asked, 100 would say that Victor was indeed perfect.

The divinity of beauty ensured this outcome for him. Velnorah’s thoughts were interrupted when she felt Victor’s hand stroking her head.

“Stop thinking nonsense and tell me how you’re doing,” he said, taking her hand and wrapping it around his arm as they continued to walk through the city, ignoring the stares of everyone.

“I’m fine,” she replied with a small smile on her face, a smile that Victor appreciated greatly.

Two months ago, Victor appeared in the city and announced the new name of the city and who governed it. No one opposed it, how could they? After all, they weren’t crazy enough to defy Victor.

In less than two weeks, the entire city was rebuilt on a larger scale, able to accommodate beings up to 10 meters tall.

While working on Violet’s first spaceship, she also worked on remodeling the city, in ‘larger’ schemes without changing the aesthetic that each landowner chose. Unlike the first job, which she refused the help of her ‘sisters,’ the task of remodeling the city had the help of Haruna, Amaterasu, Aphrodite, Hestia, and surprisingly, Sasha.

The vampire who was now a dragon decided to help her sisters in the city’s remodeling, unlike Velnorah, who only focused on making the buildings larger, the streets wider, and giving the city a more futuristic appearance, Sasha, with Hestia’s help, was responsible for making the city’s traffic simpler.

In simple terms, all the highways connect to all the important establishments, thus avoiding any kind of traffic in the movement between supernatural beings.

After all, the city was composed of gods, demons, and supernatural creatures who are stronger than ordinary humans, some of them even fly, so keeping this kind of thing in mind is very important to avoid future problems.

Surprisingly, Sasha had an extensive knowledge of this that even left Hestia slightly surprised. When asked about it, Sasha shrugged and said she really enjoyed playing kingdom-building games. And since she was bored, she decided to help them out.

Unaware that due to Sasha’s intervention, one thing led to another, and now she somehow found herself responsible for the city’s security.

Wondering how she ended up in this position, Sasha herself wouldn’t know how to answer. She simply helped build the city, and now she was in charge of its security? She didn’t even understand how that happened. 𝘪.𝑐ℴ𝘮

It could be said that she became the commander of the city’s police force, holding control over all the city’s soldiers. It’s not an exaggeration to call her a general… a position occupied by two people, Sasha and another woman from the Blank Clan appointed by Velnorah who would replace Sasha when necessary.

After all, as Victor’s wife, Sasha could often be absent from her duties for… quite complicated reasons involving long, enduring night battles that even left a dragon like her tired for several days.

As Velnorah became the new ruler of the city, she made sure to follow the same government model as is followed in hell. She’s not talking about the form of government, but rather how all the important positions are filled by women who are somehow related to Victor.

She felt that this way was better to avoid future complications related to corruption, as happened in her former empire.

Although she knows fully well that Sasha won’t stay in her position for long, after all, she prefers to spend more time with Victor than working, which to be fair, they all felt the same way. Because of this, for each wife who occupies an important place in the society they have created, they have trusted individuals who can temporarily take their place.

Velnorah even considered automating everything to free up the women, but she decided against it for now, after all, this work is what kept their minds occupied, and nothing good comes from letting powerful beings get bored, as a former empress, she knew that very well.

Unlike hell, which is an absolute monarchy, Elvenorah was moving towards becoming a Technocracy, a society composed of scientists focused on research and development. It could be said that the entire city is a grand experiment of Velnorah’s.

Which wasn’t wrong; her husband gave the order to make this place an eternal utopia where various different existences coexist, and in her mind, only a Technocracy would work.

All the basic needs of an individual would be supported by the government; they wouldn’t have to worry about water, food, housing, even money would be given regularly. But in exchange for these benefits, they must participate in non-offensive experiments aimed at turning this society into a utopia.

Everything within the society was an experiment, and they didn’t know it; every encounter, every contact, every conflict, everything in the city was being observed by thousands of cameras scattered throughout the area.

One could say that everything she was doing was just the first steps towards the future her husband had ordered her to create.

It’s worth noting that Haruna, Amaterasu, and Tasha didn’t like this at all; after all, they didn’t want to be part of an experiment. However, they set aside their concerns when they learned that their husband’s wives would not be included in it. Everything happening here was a grand experiment that would be applied to future civilizations they would dominate in the future.

Knowing this, they stopped caring. After all, as long as it didn’t affect their subordinates and their leadership, they wouldn’t mind.

… Little did they know that this was precisely what Velnorah wanted them to think. As mentioned earlier, the entire city was a grand experiment for Velnorah, and her sisters’ reactions were part of her plans.

“I must say, I didn’t expect you to do… this. When I gave the order,” Victor commented curiously as he looked at the city, ignoring the people looking at him in awe.

Seeing such a tall, handsome man, and due to his fame, even the gods thought that this is what a true god looks like.

“Are you disappointed?” She asked with the same cold voice, but at the same time, a hint of concern could be seen in her voice.

“Far from it… I’m impressed and amused… Technocracy, huh? This model of society never crossed my mind.”

“Well, Husband is not a scientist or researcher like me, so you didn’t even consider this possibility.”

“That’s true… Absolute monarchy suits me better, after all, no one dares to challenge my power,” Victor said, tyranny suits him more.

Despite discussing such sensitive matters in the midst of so many people, nobody here could hear what he was saying, not even the gods themselves. His mouth wasn’t even moving! If Victor wanted no one to hear what they were talking about, that’s as easy as breathing considering his reality-

bending powers through runes.

“That’s true. Husband is the strongest after all,” Velnorah said.

Victor chuckled lightly when he heard the conviction in Velnorah’s voice, it seemed she believed those words from the bottom of her heart. ‘She became more open when I gave her this city… It wasn’t a bad decision after all.’

By giving Velnorah a chance to erase her resentments and past failures, she was slowly opening up more to him; her defenses weren’t as high as before.

‘But… Technocracy, huh. So that’s the society she envisioned? A society where everything is a grand experiment?’ Victor thought. He wasn’t a scientist, so he could fully understand the consequences of such a society for a scientist’s ideas. But just because he wasn’t a scientist didn’t mean he would mock this method and say it’s flawed.
