GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1004 Variant Vampire.

The reluctance of the fledglings to attack other Vampires will obviously change if they can also feed on Vampires too. They wouldn't care where the blood comes from. They will kill anything as long as it moves. They will become predators to both the Vampires and the living. 

He said in understanding, "So his Lineage became a plague and a curse on other Vampires. He as the source of that plague was despised."

"Exactly," The vampire said in agreement. "He is also ugly which is another great crime so was very despised."

Ragnarok thought to himself, "It is something that has never happened before amongst vampires. Then again, no Warrog has ever become a vampire. So Xigger was that special. I know now why the demon god wants to recruit the fountain of life so badly."

Vampires feeding on other vampires has never happened before. It is because they have always been of a single race. They all came from elves, so despite the differences in Lineage, there have never been such drastic differences in their feeding habits or looks. 

That changed when a Warrog with an innate, albeit suppressed, divine ability to devour became a vampire because of the curse of life in that divine ability. Xigger managed to awaken a lesser version of his divine ability and created a superior lineage that could feed on both the living and the undead. 

The demon god will surely want to explore the full potential of Carnage through this opportunity. It has seen what good things can happen if other races become Vampires. Some of the weaknesses of the vampires can be fixed through this opportunity. Unfortunately, the so-called white bitch is not willing to serve a demon god.

"Xigger's lineage became a scourge on vampires. Imagine that. Isn't it funny? Your father was a monster among monsters. He was a Warrog that could still feed on us even though we became Vampires." The vampire laughed again.

Its entire body shook, and its voice cackled maniacally as it laughed. Ragnarok observed this weird behavior without passing judgment.

It continued speaking after laughing, "His lineage was particularly violent. Most of his fledglings lost control. As you might know, fledglings that go mad are usually stronger because of high synchronization with the power of Carnage. But those of the devouring lineage were a force to deal with. They fell into the embrace of Carnage so well and so thoroughly that they were stronger than normal. It enabled them to feed on numerous Vampires and become as powerful as counts in less than a year."

The Vampire stopped laughing. It shook its head and continued. "That's something that the most blessed Vampires need thousands of years to achieve. It is an impressive achievement. It came at the cost of other vampires so the blood Lineages were not going to see it continue."

"That is more than enough reason to antagonize the devouring lineage. The fact that such powerful were also mad ensured that every Lineage could cooperate to eliminate his lineage. Things became so bad that they were hunted wherever they appeared. It is easy to identify them too. They have ugly black fangs like yours."

He doesn't agree about his fangs being ugly. They may be jagged but they are sharp and that's all the beauty that they need. But he won't argue with her because the purpose of his fangs and his numerous other sharp teeth is not to look good. Besides, there is a bigger issue at play here. 

"Why wasn't Xigger killed?" He asked.

"Xigger was a Primogenitor. He couldn't be ganged up on. He could only be challenged by someone of the same rank as him. It is obvious what the outcome of that would be considering his advantage in blood power. His lineage didn't have that benefit so they were hunted."

Then she said with a smile. "You don't have that benefit either. At least, not until you become a full Vampire."

Ragnarok spoke. "I see. So you are doing me a favor by helping me instead of killing me on sight. Or you are just pretending to do me a favor so that you can lure me into the devil's pit and kill me?"

The Vampire laughed. "It is good that you are smart. But I am not going to kill you. I just told you that most Vampires will try to kill you if they get the chance to. Instead, many of them have been fighting the wood elves for you. It is due to their help that you are here right now. And why is that? Why is it that Vampires that hate you are helping you and even dying for you?"

"Because of the Demon god." He replied immediately.

The vampire tsked. "That is crass and coarse language. Demon is such a bad word. Call the greatness the Supreme of Carnage. But you're right. It is because of the Supreme that you are here."

The vampire pointed at the sky after saying so. He looked up to where she was pointing at. The red moon in the sky is actually an eye. He started seeing the moon as the eye of the demon god since he was forcefully shackled with the heart of Carnage. It enabled him to know just how much trouble he was in. 

The demon god is like a giant looking through a tiny tear into a small world. Or a normal-sized person looking into a bottle through its top. Everyone in the bottle are the ants that the normal-sized person is looking at. He is an ant compared to the demon god. The only thing protecting all the ants is that the current opening is too small for the demon god to reach into the plane.

There is a war going on right now in the divine plane or outside the plane. It is a war to stop the demon god from entering the plane. If the defenders lose, then the demon god will finally enter the plane in all its bloody and gruesome glory.
