At that moment, an invisible pressure filled the whole world, making it hard for people to breathe.
On the surface, this artificial island seemed extremely calm, but it was actually undergoing a ritual to resurrect the most powerful vampire in history. This fact turned the entire Flux God Island into a devil's den, and everyone could sense the undercurrents surging within.
At least, that's what Gu Cheng thought.
"Please spare me."
Gu Cheng had unwittingly spoken out loud.
He couldn't help it.
Basically speaking, Gu Cheng was just a middle school student who had been troubled by whether or not to leave the club in his school not long ago. Now, he had finally reached a conclusion about the club activity and abandoned basketball, but in the blink of an eye, the thing that he should be troubled about turned from a basketball game into the resurrection ritual of the True Ancestor, the strongest vampire in the world. In any case, the jump was too outrageous.
More importantly, this matter might not be completely unrelated to Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng looked at his sister, Yusha Akira.
Although he was an ordinary person, his sister was a rare mixed-ability user. Her talent was excellent, and now she was possessed by a spirit that seemed to be related to the fourth true ancestor. Recently, he finally saw the hope of completely eradicating it, but in the end, he encountered the so-called Flaming Feast ritual. It was unknown whether it would affect her or not.
If his sister was in danger because of this ritual …
"Damn it!"
Gu Cheng couldn't help but curse.
On the contrary, Yusha …
"Well, I have a question."
Yusha raised her hand hesitantly and asked such a question in front of everyone.
"Isn't the Lion King Agency some kind of special agency in charge of dealing with large-scale manmade magic disasters? Like the agents and spies in the TV, right? It doesn't sound like a bad guy, does it? Why do they have to preside over this ritual? "
Yusha's words seemed to lack a lot of tension and formality, as if even he himself did not fully understand what was going on. However, the content of his words was immediately to the point.
As Yusha said, since the Lion King Agency was a special agency that dealt with man-made disasters, there was no reason for it to host a ritual that could resurrect the True Ancestor of vampires.
Or rather, the Lion King Agency should be trying its best to stop this ritual.
Otherwise, there was no telling how much damage the fourth True Ancestor would cause to mankind once he was awakened. Even if he didn't actively harm mankind, if he established his Empire of Darkness like the other three True Ancestors did, the situation of the world would be changed and all kinds of impacts would be caused.
In light of that, there was no reason for Lion King to be the winner of the Flaming Feast.
This should be what everyone who knew the inside story would think.
It's just that
"Perhaps this is also a helpless move."
Without waiting for Tiana to answer, Rozen responded to Yusha first.
"Xian Gu Yong said that Lion King Agency will try its best to reduce the loss, which proves that they have a reason to not stop the ritual."
And since they couldn't stop the ritual, it was better to let the ritual be carried out in a place where they could see it, in a situation that they could control, so that the disaster would not spread.
Just like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and other natural disasters, when they happened, the countermeasures that humans could make were never to stop them, but to reduce the damage caused by the disaster.
That was what Lion King Agency was doing.
"Xian Gu Yong also has various considerations if he wants to recover the holy spear that can break the seal of No.12."
Rozen listed his considerations one by one.
"Perhaps Lion King Agency wants to prevent No.12 from breaking the seal, so that even if the fourth True Ancestor awakens, the threat will be reduced by one-twelfth of her power."
"Perhaps Lion King Agency wants to make a fuss about No.12, so that the fourth True Ancestor, who recovered No.12, will be at their mercy."
"Or perhaps, the Lion King Agency also wants to rely on this holy spear that can even kill the True Ancestor to get rid of some of the Yanguang Nobo, so as to weaken the Fourth True Ancestor or even kill the Fourth True Ancestor."
"Or perhaps, Lion King Agency wants to achieve something in this ritual, even if it will lead to the awakening of the fourth True Ancestor, it doesn't matter."
Rozen sneered.
"This is the so-called organization and institutions, they always consider the gains and losses and the level of risk, the pursuit of the final result, and the rest is just a calculation to achieve the goal."
That was the reality.
"Compared to human beings, those Hun Ghouls who want to hold the Flaming Feast are much easier to understand."
Rozen spread his hands.
The Hun Ghouls of Nilepsy were a kind of Demons that lived in the King of War's territory.
They were actually vampires, but they were inferior vampires that could not summon their Beast Kin, so they were despised by other vampires and regarded as a disgrace to the Blood Race. They were then demoted to Demons that were not part of the Blood Race and refused to recognize them as a race.
Rejected by the orthodox vampires, the Hun Ghouls repeatedly used violent means to seize everything from the vampires, including their territory, wealth, and power. That was why they fought a war with Nilepsy's neighboring Caryana territory that lasted for hundreds of years. In the end, Vertiana's father was killed in the battle with the Hun Ghouls, and the Caryana Family was defeated.
Now, the Hun Ghouls occupied the Caryana Family's territory, and after obtaining No.9, they became even more ambitious. They wanted to hold the Flaming Feast, become a Kurfürst, awaken the fourth True Ancestor, and establish the fourth Empire of the Night to occupy one of the world's hegemons, right?
Basically, those who became a Kurfürst wanted to awaken the fourth True Ancestor for various reasons.
Therefore, this feast could be said to be a vortex of chaos, destined to plunge Flux Island into turmoil.
The Caryana sisters probably didn't want to see such a situation happen, which was why they took the "key" and fled far away, being hunted down.
And it was likely that the ones chasing them were the Hun Ghouls.
"Really?" Gu Cheng asked almost subconsciously. "Aren't Hun Ghouls vampires who can't use their familiars? And their familiars are what vampires rely on to be called the strongest Demons, right? Will the vampires be able to chase you away without their familiars? Isn't it strange? "
Several questions in a row, but all of them were asked at the most crucial point.
Just as Gu Cheng said, vampires who lost their familiars couldn't be called the strongest Demons. Not to mention hunting down pure-blooded noble vampires, even when facing other Demons, the Hun Ghouls were only average or even inferior existences, nothing to worry about.
But …
"If those lowly Hun Ghouls didn't use dirty tricks, how could they be our opponents?!"
Viertiana's face twisted slightly.
It wasn't that Rozen couldn't understand Tiana's thoughts.
"Although it's true that Hun Ghouls can't summon their familiars, they are still genuine vampires. Their magic capacity is far greater than other Demons, and coupled with their near-immortal vitality, Hun Ghouls embed all kinds of magical equipment into their bodies, replacing the innately useless familiars to enhance their own combat strength."
Rozen explained to Gu Cheng.
"Only such Hun Ghouls can fight vampires, relying on overwhelming weapons, and not the strength of their familiars."
As he said so, Rozen suddenly smiled.
"Look, just like that."
So Rozen pointed to the apartment's balcony.
There, a person shrouded in a black robe stood there at some point, stretching out a hand towards the living room. In the palm of his hand, a cannon barrel stretched out.
"Hum."
Magic gathered inside the cannon barrel.
"What!?"
Gu Cheng's expression changed dramatically.
"Liar."
Yusha's lips trembled.
"Hun Ghouls!"
Tiana screamed in horror.
As for Rozen, he just stretched out a hand towards her.
"Bang!"
In the next second, an explosion resounded on a balcony on the seventh floor of the apartment, causing the wind and pressure of the explosion to shatter the glass and shake in all directions.
