GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Emperiti didn't say anything about his claim of being the savior of Vampires. Instead, she sent for more thralls. He can see more and more Vampires rushing towards him. Their movements couldn't be hidden through the thick walls of the underground caverns. Every living thing, including Vampires, can be tracked with his third eye. 

The amount of thralls that have woken up and are rushing towards his position is large. He doesn't think they are here to welcome and acknowledge him. It made him shake his head in disappointment.

"You don't look happy to see me. Why are you afraid?" He asked her. 

She finally spoke. "You are not what we wanted."

"But I am what you get." He said to her, "Don't be a child. Be content with what you get. Rejoice and make merry. Look upon the fruit of your labor and be happy."

His words did not manage to convince her to be happy. She is far from being happy. She is filled with fear because of what she has seen. The other primogenitors are also not confident against the threat that Ragnarok poses. The only one who doesn't seem to think that things might go downhill for them is the demon god. It can only be called the foresight of a high-level lifeform.

Its voice rang out through their minds. "Fascinating. This is just fascinating. I have never seen this before."

The demon god is very excited by the changes that Ragnarok has undergone. It was the one that ordered her not to interfere with his breakthrough. She didn't think much of it then. But she isn't so sure it was a good idea now. After all, he was supposed to become a transcendent and not a Monarch-class Vampire.

The demon god continued to speak with excitement. "First it was Xigger and now it is Xigger's son. Their lineage never ceases to amaze me. They always bring me something new."

"But he is not a Vampire anymore." She insisted.

The demon god replied. "That's true. But that is a minor inconvenience. I'm sure we can come to an arrangement. I am always open to a deal. Make him an offer."

The demon god of Carnage is still confident even in this situation. It has never lost a plane once it decides to attack it. So this plane will fall and Ragnarok will eventually fall into its hands. It is just a matter of time. It can be very patient for that time. So it is not afraid of Ragnarok at all. 

The confidence of the Demon god bolstered the courage of the Emperiti Primogenitor. She tried to convince Ragnarok one last time. "Do not think that the Supreme of Carnage can not do anything to harm you anymore. The blood writ that your father signed has also become invalid because you destroyed the anchor that it is based on. All of the Vampires can come after you now. Your strength doesn't mean anything. Accept the blessing of the supreme of Carnage or rue the day you went against the wish of a Supreme."

He said absentmindedly, "Let them come."

He ignored her and levitated into the air. Then he began to fly in the direction of his target. The Emperiti Primogenitor on the other hand had decided that she had had enough of his disregard for her. She instructed her thralls to attack. All the Sovereign level Vampires attacked immediately. Blood spells flew towards him from every direction. Then the world turned black. 

A black phantom expanded outwards from him and spread to everything in front of him. It spread far and wide to envelop everything within 100 meters in front of him. This includes the Cavern he is currently in, the ground beneath it and the roof above his head. 

He exerted a little force so the black phantom was activated. It produced a suction force that ripped everything around it into it. The phantom couldn't be seen clearly. But the strong thralls managed to see, for the briefest moments, that it was a large maw. Then they saw nothing as they were swallowed and consumed by the maw.

Mayhem descended onto the Cavern. Earth, flesh, and blood all became victims to the devouring power of the black maw. Then there was a crashing sound similar to the crash of thunder. It was as if there was an explosion in the Cavern. The already fragile cavern began to collapse due to the explosion.

The Maw hadn't exploded. It had only broken down everything and retracted back into him. The empty space it had left behind and the sudden disappearance of the suction force created the implosion of air. 

He said in disappointment, "It is just as I thought, each thrall is her clone. They don't have any heart of Carnage."

"But then, many drops of water make an ocean."

Each Vampire contains a small amount of blood power. It is nothing compared to what he gained from his own heart of Carnage. A normal vampire pales in comparison to the value of a Primogenitor to him. Unfortunately, Emperiti has hidden her heart of Carnage all too well. 

Even so, he is not willing to let the thralls go. He can see through his third eye that all of them are scattering and escaping now that they know that they are not his match. There are millions of them here in the devil's pit. So even though only the strong blood power of Dukes is useful to him at his current level of power, it is still a pain to watch all of them disappear like that. 

The red halo on his head flashed and then expanded instantly. It covered up an area of 5 kilometers around him instantly. This area became shrouded in total and complete darkness. It formed a black sphere that was 5 kilometers in diameter.

Then it retracted just as abruptly as it expanded leaving nothing behind. There was only deathly silence and the faint howling of the wind through the empty space.
