The Underground Palace of New Jersey was a building that Dicken Fess had spent almost ten years building. It was located under the Xingui Real Estate Building.
Twelve huge obsidian pillars supported the entire underground palace. The parchment scrolls that represented the Vampire Bible were placed in a certain order.
Not only the scroll that Li Jie and the others had found, but there were also almost a hundred other scrolls that Dicken Fess had collected over the years.
Dicken Fess had been waiting for this day for a long time. He was trying to change the social structure of the Vampires. He wanted to resolve the conflict between the old and the new Vampires.
He needed to tear a hole in this old empire that was solidified by the class system. He wanted new blood to fill the Empire.
In order to achieve this goal in this rigid society with a rigid hierarchy, he wanted to make himself the highest-ranking vampire in the Empire.
Dracula was still in a deep sleep, and the Twelve Elders were rotten. It was time to establish a new order. Otherwise, the fall of the Empire was inevitable.
Today was the day a new era began, a new century for the Vampires.
"Dicken Fess, what you're doing is useless!" Gao Tiannu was tied to a stele carved with obsidian. The stele was covered in mysterious formations.
Gao Tiannu was not the only one. Dicken Fess had also kidnapped the other eleven Elders.
"Gao Tiannu, you don't understand. The Vampires are at the edge of life and death. Your corruption is causing the Empire to crumble, "Dicken Fess said without lifting his head, holding a Vampire Bible in his hand.
"The hotbed of power is nourishing your flesh, but it is also rotting your souls. You have lost the will to fight. "
"You don't understand, Dicken. The experiment on artificial blood is about to succeed. The Vampires can finally stop drinking human blood!" Gao Tiannu yelled.
"The biggest conflict between us and humans is about to be resolved! With the resources we have now, we can develop a new vampire dynasty! "
"Stupid Gao Tiannu!" Dicken Fess interrupted Gao Tiannu. "The conflict between us and humans isn't as simple as drinking human blood."
"The fundamental reason is that we are vampires, not humans! You don't understand the crux of our problem at all. "
"The Earth is very small. It can't accommodate two intelligent creatures sharing its resources. Look at those mutants, how these humans treat their own subspecies. "
"Artificial blood is very useful, but it is not used to negotiate with the humans. Only by overthrowing the rule of the human class can we show our generosity and leave some of the humans alive."
Gao Tiannu knew he could not change Dicken Fess' mind, so he said in despair, "Everything you do will only lead us into the abyss."
"Your arrogance is disgusting," Dicken Fess said disdainfully. "Come on, the Imperium has provided for you for so many years, it's time for you to contribute to the Imperium!"
Dicken didn't want to waste his breath on Gao Tiannu. He walked toward the altar. Twelve obsidian tablets were used to bind the twelve elders of the vampires.
The steles were evenly distributed, forming a circle around the altar in the middle. A diamond-shaped stele was placed right in the middle.
Dicken Fess chanted some obscure words. It was the oldest language of the vampires. It was used to read from the ancient Vampire Bible.
Strange symbols appeared on the ancient sheepskin scrolls. The blood-red symbols were imprinted on the twelve obsidian tablets.
Streaks of scarlet veined patterns continued to spread on the steles. Those scarlet veined patterns crawled on the steles as if they were alive. Finally, they extended towards the vampire elders who were tied to the steles.
Gao Tiannu watched in despair as the red veins covered his body. They started from his fingertips and feet, then continued to spread.
Finally, they extended to his brain. His entire body was covered in red veins, emitting a strange red color.
A strong pulling force kept tearing at his body. It would not be accurate to say otherwise. Perhaps we should use a more appropriate term.
The pulling force was tearing at his soul. The red energy was forcefully stripping away his soul.
"You will definitely fail, Dicken Fess! This will be the stupidest thing you have ever done in your life! "Gao Tiannu let out a final roar. Then, there was only silence.
This was because his soul had been extracted from his body. Not only him, but the souls of the other eleven vampire elders had also been extracted.
Their souls were being compressed by the red veins. Finally, they formed a blood-red ball of light. The red veins began to spread under the foundation of the twelve black steles.
This time, they were spreading toward the diamond-shaped stone tablet in the middle.
They were getting closer and closer. The plan was about to succeed. Dicken's trusted aide, Khun, who had been watching the entire process, was overjoyed.
Dicken Fess had already sensed this energy. It was the energy of the Vampire Blood God.
The red veins finally covered the diamond-shaped stone tablet. The souls of the twelve vampire elders were also transported into the stone tablet.
The black stone tablet emitted a dazzling red light. All dreams, all ideals. The new era of the Vampires. The era where the mixed-blood Vampires would no longer be exploited by the pure-blood Vampires was finally here.
When the red light reached its most dazzling moment, it suddenly dimmed. Without any warning, the energy disappeared.
It was as if it had never appeared in this world. It was just that abrupt. Dickon Fess felt terrible as if he had punched the air with his fist.
"No, no, Dicken! Look! "Khun let out a shrill cry.
The sheepskin scroll that recorded the Vampire Bible seemed to have been eroded in an instant. It quickly dissipated into the air and disappeared.
The obsidian stone tablets and altars were the same. It was as if they had never appeared in this world. They disappeared without any warning.
"No! Something must be wrong. "Dicken Fess knew that something must be wrong with him. All the Vampire Bibles had been eroded.
Only the scroll in his hand had not. It was the scroll that Li Jie and the rest had obtained from the warehouse. It was then passed to S.H.E.L.D. and ended up in Dicken's hand.
"No! No!" Dicken sat on the ground and roared in anger.
"Dicken! Get up, we have to leave this place. The humans must have set us up. "Khun was the first to recover from the initial shock. He pulled Dicken away.
"It's not a pity that we didn't obtain the Blood God's power. At least we dealt with the Elder Council."
"We can use other methods to control the Empire. It will just take more time. But we have to leave this place first. "
"I'm afraid we won't have the chance to leave." Dicken was a smart man. He had already come to his senses. In fact, he should have been alarmed when the Vampire Bible mentioned that the ancient descendants of the Blood Clan had to be sacrificed.
But he didn't. Perhaps in his mind, killing the Elder Council was something he had to do. But this was based on the success of his plan.
Now that the plan had failed and the Twelve Elders of the Elder Council were dead, the Empire would fall into a power vacuum. Was this their plan?
Perhaps there was already a human army blocking the entrance, waiting for him to die.
Just as Dicken was thinking about this, a silver Mithril arrow pierced through Khun's head. Khun, who had been comforting Dicken, turned into a pile of ash in an instant.
But Dicken didn't have time to grieve. A bullet had also hit him. But this bullet wasn't made of Mithril. It was a bullet specially made to fire the purifying serum.
Zhan Kailin's purifying serum had been injected into Dicken's body. The serum continuously destroyed the Vampire genes in his body, purifying and transforming them into human genes.
The process was extremely painful. Dicken Fess twitched helplessly on the ground.
After Dicken Fess completed the transformation, two S.H.E.L.D. agents walked out of the darkness. "Inject him with a tranquilizer."
They gave Dicken a powerful tranquilizer. Since Dicken Fess would cause trouble in the future, and they didn't know if it was because of his death or his survival, Nick Fury decided to turn Dicken Fess into an undead existence.
Nick Fury had decided to turn Dicken Fess into an undead existence.
New Jersey wasn't the only place in America. Similar things were happening to the Vampire leaders controlled by S.H.E.L.D...
Since the Vampires controlled a large number of human industries, killing them would cause an economic shock. In that case, they might as well turn all of them into humans.
At the same time, the new Vampire Race Special Management Act submitted by Security Council member Bugiuno was officially placed on the president's desk.
"Mr. President, the plan is going smoothly," the intelligence officer reported to the president.
"If that's the case, let's sweep this race into the trash heap of history," the president said. As the president spoke, he picked up the newly drafted bill and signed it with the signature of the highest authority in the country.
The Vampire Empire had finally entered the countdown to destruction.
A box of tools had been knocked over. A nail had been lost. A nail had been lost. A horseshoe had been damaged. A horseshoe had been damaged. A horse had been injured. A horse had been injured. A knight had been killed. A knight had been killed. The war had been lost. The war had been lost. The empire had been destroyed.
If Li Jie hadn't met Franky, none of this would have happened.
Li Jie wouldn't have been hunted down by the Stanich family. He wouldn't have met Frank. He wouldn't have teamed up with Frank and Peter to destroy the Stanich family's warehouse in the Hudson River.
He wouldn't have discovered the Bible and started killing the Vampires. The blood farm wouldn't have been breached.
S.H.E.L.D. wouldn't have been dragged into this matter. Mike, who was supposed to be dead, wouldn't have been saved by Li Jie. Zhan Kailin wouldn't have been able to develop the reverse purification serum.
Dicken Fess wouldn't have ignored the Bible's trap in order to speed up the pace of reform and unification. This was the prelude to the Vampire Empire's defeat.
Perhaps the Vampire Empire's destruction was inevitable, but it definitely wouldn't have happened so quickly or so tragically. Before the Empire could prepare, it would be extinguished by humans in an instant.
One by one, like a well-wound machine, as long as the switch was pressed, it would move towards the preset target.
Just like the first domino that was pushed, when the domino of the past fell, it would push the domino of the future to continue to fall until all the futures disappeared.
The world started with the little people, and the world ended with the little people.
The thunderstorm was still raging over the greater New York area. It was destined to be a sleepless night.
