Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Virgil was standing in front of the vampire palace, talking to the soldiers. Seemingly explaining to them a strategy of the war.

"But Vampire Monarch, they are coming from all three sides!"

"I will handle one side, take our strongest soldiers and go to the left side," Virgil ordered.

"What about the right side, then?"

"No one will go to the right side."

"But then they will invade our kingdom!"

"That's fine. I have already ordered everyone to evacuate from there. They are safe at the palace. The right border leads to this kingdom, but the other two have our entire continent.

I also ordered the other kings to get their armies ready. Listen, our first objective is to keep our citizens safe. This war doesn't matter. Also, make sure that the royal families of all the kingdoms of this continent are well protected."

Two soldiers landed near Virgil and knelt in front of him.

"Now is not the time to kneel! Why are you here?" Virgil asked angrily.

"We just received the report from the left and north kingdoms. The enemy's troops have started moving again. It looks like they discussed their plans, and now they are planning to start the war."

"How long will it take them to reach the borders?"

"Less than five minutes!"

"They got here faster than I expected. When I received news that a massive army was marching toward our continent, I suspected they were trying to wage war, but I didn't expect the other two continents to join them.

The Alucard kingdom has always tried to get their hands on this kingdom, but we were on good terms with the other two continents. Luis must have promised them a grand reward, but they have no idea that Luis will cut them down as soon as the work is done."

Virgil flapped his wings and hovered in the air as he looked at the soldiers.

"It is time to do what you were born for, my soldiers. Let's protect our citizens together!"

"Yeah!"

Virgil frowned his face and muttered, "If they want a war… we will serve them war… with dessert at that."

"Grandpa!" Jane dashed out of the palace and stopped in front of Virgil. "Grandpa! Let me participate in this war!"

"You can't, Jane. You have never been to war, and you don't—"

"I am the third strongest vampire in this world! And this is my kingdom too! They are my citizens too! I want to protect them!" Jane yelled with a resolute expression on her face.

"I cannot let you face the danger alone, Jane. If anything were to happen to you, Rudy would obliterate everything. I am not ready to take such a risk," Virgil stated in a disdainful tone. "I know how you are feeling, but there is nothing that can be done."

"Rias also insisted on coming with me, but I locked her in the room and sealed it with magic. She can't leave that room without anyone's help! Please, grandpa, let me participate in this war."

Virgil gazed up at the sky and looked at the white full moon.

"Today is…" He turned to Jane and said, "Today is the full moon day, are you aware of it? Rudy must be waiting for you on the other side."

"I know! But opening the portal will take at least 10 minutes. And only a handful of people can open the portal. We will win this war in thirty minutes and still have time left to open the portal again. And once Rudy—"

"Go open the portal, Jane…" Virgil ordered. "Open the portal and take Rias with you to the human world."

Jane gritted her teeth and frowned her face furiously.

"Are you telling me to run away?!"

"Jane! Try to understand the situation! All three continents are well aware that the three strongest vampires of this world are from this continent, and yet they still foolishly came here to wage war. They must have something planned, and it can be dangerous."

"I will open the portal and ask for Rudy's help! He is the…" Jane stopped and glanced around at the thousands of soldiers standing around her. She clenched her fist and yelled:

"Rudy is the Lord! And there is no way we can lose this war if Rudy is with us!"

"Their attempt of war might as well be to lure Rudy into the war. Everyone knows the Lord has returned, but they don't know who it is. And Rudy had warned me to not expose his identity as the Lord… which you just did."

"This is ridiculous, grandpa! You are just wasting our time here! Let me open the portal so Rudy can help us!"

THUNDER! BANG! BOOM!

"There is no need for that… my dear wife."

"....!

Nyxia let out a big sigh and began walking up the stairs to the Lord's Throne. She climbed and climbed and said:

"It's been so long since I last came here. It brings back memories… doesn't it, darling?" she asked herself.

Nyxia reached the last stair and stood in front of the Lord's Throne. She touched it with her hands and smiled wryly.

"There is Lord, who is almighty and all-powerful. And there is something more powerful than the Lord. They shouldn't be fearing the Lord, they should fear that being."

Nyxia turned around and sat comfortably on the throne in a relaxed position. She leaned back and looked down at all the other thrones below her.

"When a vampire is in the forest, they shouldn't fear the bat. When a dragon is in the cave, they shouldn't fear the fox. They shouldn't fear the shark when there is a Kraken in the sea. And they shouldn't fear the Lord when… there is an Overlord in the universe.

The Lord of the Lords, the ancient entity born from the universe to balance and protect itself. The unfathomable power that reigns beyond anyone's imagination. The unrivaled existence defies every logic, fundamentals, principle, and law of the universe.

Such a being is… Overlord. And darling… is that unparalleled existence. This will be his first awakening after sitting on the throne."

If Rudy's existence was to defy the universe, Nyxia's existence was to contradict it. She was the Child and Queen of the Blue Moon, and she was also the Lord.
