Zane’s complete awakening pulled back the control of the Fallen God to all those from the Blood Race. Even if they were brainwashed to serve a different race as their Lord, as long as the Progenitor of the Blood Race returns the Vampires would only listen to their progenitor’s commands. As to them, the Progenitor of their Blood Race is the God and their origin. No one would deny their very origin.

Vampire Duke Sylvie looked at Zane in disbelief. Those vampires that were killed just now are from his race which was given to him by his Lord. But with just a single word from this man, they all took their lives regardless of their wills.

“You!? What have you done!? Who the hell are you?” asked Sylvie in disbelief.

Zane stared at his lover’s face with yearning in his eyes yet coldness at the same time. He could see that his lover wasn’t in the right mind and he looked like he was under someone’s control. There is also another person’s scent of blood on him. It was inhuman and at the same time tainted. Looking around he found the traces of it from the black-feathered winged man standing outside the array.

Handsome and seductive yet there is no expression on his face. His whole body emits the aura of arrogance and tainted holy aura on him.

“A Fallen God ha?” mumbled Zane as he used his bloodline that rules the blood to control the blood elements.

Blood Element is a rare element. This element had absolute control over blood and life. It could be used to heal wounds as blood is also the main source of life for all living things yet at the same, it could also cost the death of those who have control over it. With this element, one can control the blood of other living beings.

With his crimson eyes glinting dangerously, Zane suddenly appeared in front of the Fallen God Lucien but in between the two of them is the barrier that Lan She made. This prevents Lucien from entering beyond the array where Zane is currently.

Fallen God Lucien remains calm before the Progenitor of the Blood Race. Even Zane can be considered as God in his state, the Fallen God is an old god from the Empyrean Domain. These old gods believe that a young godlike Zane wouldn’t be able to kill them at all.

Proudly raising his head before Zane, Fallen God Lucien speaks.

“Are you here to serve allegiance to this deity? Well Vampire King this deity could be willing to put up with you?” said Fallen God Lucien.

This haughtiness of his showed his confidence in his strength but never would he have expected in his life that these words would become his last words.

Zane stared at the conceited Fallen in front of him. His face was dull and his eyes were glowing scarlet.

Thoughts of Fallen God Lucien at this moment, ‘This guy’s eyes are scarlet. It looks more like a dark red instead of a ruby color. The darker the shade the red is, the more it looks similar to the color of blood. It makes me a bit uncomfortable being stared at by these eyes.’

Zane sniggers at him and said, “Are those your last words? Either way, you must be punished for feeding my wife with your tainted blood.”

{Blood Curse, activate!}

Zane used the blood elements to take control of the blood flowing within the Fallen God’s veins. Once the blood curse had activated, Lucien could feel what it was like for his blood to boil. The skin on his whole body startled to bubbles from the inside as the blood boils to its limit. In the last few seconds of his life, the Fallen God Lucien would have never expected to die in such a cruel way. His whole body was trembling with excruciating pain and even as a god, Lucien couldn’t stop himself from screaming in this immense pain spreading all over his blood.

AAAHHH~ GAAAHHH~

Boom!!!

The flesh and blood of the Fallen God Lucien had scattered in all directions as he imploded. Now the Fallen God Race has lost a leader. Everyone in the area was shocked, especially Vampire Duke Sylvie. Only Chu Mo and Lan She remained calm.

Chu Mo whispered, “Isn’t that Lord Hei’s way of using the Blood Element? How come that brat, Zane, could use it?”

“Maybe Lord Hei sent some enlightenment on them when he gave away his blessing. It is better this way. If they could kill even fake gods on their own, we could return as soon as possible. It is already weird enough that the lords left for unknown reasons. Why are they going to the Empyrean Domain? Unless there is something in there that interests Lord Hei, the Lords wouldn’t miss this battle royale mode,” said Lan She.

Chu Mo said, “Even Lord Hei didn’t tell you what they are going to do? That’s strange.” Normally, Hei Anjing would treat Yun Ming as his aide. He wouldn’t forget to inform them where they are going as both he and Yun Ming were the closest confidants that Lord Hei and Lord God Ye had.

“Don’t mention it anymore. It’s making me feel anxious for unknown reasons,” said Lan She.

Meanwhile, with the help of Han Ya and An Yuan, Qi Yun and his group finally suppressed Archangel Ming. They’ve also killed the rest of the players in the arena leaving only their group standing on the stage. Qi Yun used the Nether Rings to capture Archangel Ming.

The Nether Rings were awesome. As what was written on the information Han Ya and An Yuan could see, these rings indeed could capture even a true god.

Archangel Ming finally lost his cool seeing how he was captured easily by those weird black rings thrown at him. Getting caught off guard, those black rings chained both his hands and feet, rendering him unable to move at all. Plus even his mana is sealed by these black rings, if he knew it had this effect he would have dodged it no matter what.

“Uncuffed me, Mortals!!!” yelled Archangel Ming but everyone on the other side of the group turned deaf ears to him.

An Yuan looked at his beloved’s hand playing with the unused Nether Rings.

“These binding rings are amazing. It could even render a Demigod helpless as long as he was caught. As expected of a God-tier artifact,” said An Yuan.

Han Ya nods his head as he gives his full support to his lover’s words, “Yes, these are awesome. I want one too.”

“Maybe you can ask one from Brother Chu as a gift…”

“Good. Let’s ask this as my enthronement gift from Milord…”

Besides them, the most injured one among the group is Qi Yun who had been protecting his siblings during the fight. He is covered in all cuts and burns all over his body. Sitting beside him, his younger sister, Qi Lanyu, and his Sister-in-law, Yu Suya, are looking after him. They observe his fatal wounds closed up on their own ignoring his expression of pain.

Qi Lanyu said, “It is amazing no matter how much I see it. It could even replenish blood on its own.”

“Hm, my old injuries have all healed as well. The blessing we received is truly astounding. Now I am sure.” said Yu Suya.

Qi Lanyu asked her lover, “What are you sure of, darling?”

“That Lord Hei and Lord Abyss aren’t humans,” replied Yu Suya.

Clang! ｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖

A sound of a metal falling was suddenly heard, Qi Yun and the rest saw Han Ya lose control of his hands making the Nether Rings he was holding fall loudly on the ground. But what made Qi Lanyu narrow her eyes was when she saw the expression of Han Ya and An Yuan in that split moment.

Their faces were a bit aghast but tried to change their expression right away. Even going so far as to act like they haven’t heard a thing.

Qi Lanyu’s thoughts, ‘So they also thought those two Lords aren’t humans. No, it’s more likely they already knew that those two were Gods. If that’s true then…’

She moved his gaze and looked at the sky where he saw Chu Mo and Lan She. There’s a strange expression on her face as she stays quiet thinking of something on her own.

‘Does that mean Chu Mo and Doctor Lan aren’t humans at all? If that’s the case then I can now understand why they are only helping us indirectly. It was because of the contract we had signed with Lord Hei. They are only here to make sure that the contract is fulfilled and are willing to protect us until the end of the game.’ Qi Lanyu’s thoughts.

Qi Yun decided to turn a blind eye to this event and decided to focus on his own problem. Now that his injuries had fully healed, he wanted to help his other half to remember his past.

“Yu’er, help me up. I wanted to meet Brother Liang on my own,” said Qi Yun.

Qi Lanyu realized what his brother was trying to do and wanted to stop him, “Brother, are you going to enter his consciousness? No! I won’t allow it. Even if you were connected by the life and death contract Brother Ming couldn’t remember you right now. Your soul might get hurt in progress.”

“I need to do this. Brother Lan said that Brother Liang’s memories are most likely sealed. If that’s the case then only I, who is connected to him by the life and death contract, could enter his consciousness and make contact directly with his soul to remove the seal.” said Qi Yun.

Yu Suya wanted to speak but stopped when she thought that she might not be able to mince her words and hurt her brother-in-law. Though she wasn’t connected to Qi Yun by blood, they are still family as she is Qi Lanyu’s other half. He didn’t want to tell Qi Yun about the other possible ending Doctor Lan had also informed them before.

But Qi Lanyu is different, so she told her brother straightforwardly.

“What if his memories are erased instead? What are you going to do if that’s what indeed happened? Brother, don’t do this right now? We still have so many enemies beyond the array.” said Qi Lanyu.

Outside the array are various races leering at them. Especially the Spirit Race and the Fallen Race who just lost their leader at the hands of Zane. Their eyes were all filled with murderous intent and no need to guess who was the target of their hate. Just the fact that Zane had killed the current leader of the Fallen Race, their team is also infamous for massacring all the people from the Hell’s Labyrinth which is the land for the descendants of the Pure Blooded Spirit people. Now that even an Archangel from the Angel race was captured by them it can be said that they have three huge races hostile to their team.

Qi Yun commented after seeing numerous glares falling on their team.

“There are indeed too many enemies. What should we do next? Would Brother Zane be alright alone? Is that Vampire Duke his missing lover?” asked Qi Yun to Han Ya and An Yuan.

Han Ya shrugged his shoulders and said, “Don’t worry. If there is a Blood Race with the purest bloodline in this arena then Zane is the one. The one who made Sylvie a vampire before he was separated from him is Zane himself.”

“Actually, Zane’s lover, Sylvie’s situation is much better than Brother Ming Liang’s. Brother Zane said that he could awaken Sister-in-law’s memories using blood. I do not know why he said that though.” said An Yuan then he noticed the bound Archangel who had finally calmed down after being ignored for a while and commented, “Actually, why don’t we try using all the props that might allow one to bring back the lost or sealed memories. We have lots of gold coins anyway. Let’s use some on your lover, Brother Qi.”

Qi Lanyu said, “You’ll pay for it?”

“Sure~ why not!” said An Yuan. The former poor professor who becomes a rich person after following the lead of Hei Anjing.

Qi Lanyu, Yu Suya, and An Yuan approached Archangel Ming with teasing smiles on their faces. These three obviously had no kind intention toward their target. Ming Liang himself knew that these three youngsters aren’t into something good and black lines filled his handsome and holy face.

Archangel Ming bounded and couldn’t move knew he couldn’t stop these three if they wanted to do something to him. He tried to call out to Han Ya and Qi Yun, the only two people these three listen to but the two turned deaf ears to his voice. One couldn’t go against his beloved and the other wanted to use this chance to try prying his memories as Player Ming Liang. Since it is something good for his lover, why would he stop his siblings and friends?
