Of all the vampires, only Andrew, Amelia, and Victor had obtained enough Perfect Blood to strengthen their strength.
Apart from Chen Mo and Alexander Corvinus, the four of them were the strongest in the world. They were even stronger than the ancestor of vampires, Marcus, who had lived for hundreds of years.
Marcus, like all the other Knights, had only obtained a single drop of Perfect Blood to remove the flaw of vampires. Moreover, he didn't know the origin of this drop of blood. He had always thought that it was bestowed by Chen Mo.
Before, Chen Mo didn't mind Marcus' ambition because as long as he was there, Marcus would never betray him.
Many people had ambitions. As long as they didn't rebel, Chen Mo allowed them to have their ambitions. If they wanted to rule humanity, they could. He had now achieved it. As one of the four Dukes of the Empire, Marcus stood at the top of the pyramid of power.
However, now that Chen Mo was about to leave, he wouldn't leave behind any hidden dangers for the Empire he had established. If Marcus revealed even the slightest desire for the throne, Chen Mo wouldn't let him walk out of this room alive.
Fortunately, Marcus wasn't blinded by the desire for power. He knew that the throne of God wasn't something he could touch. Since that was the case, Chen Mo didn't mind letting him continue to be the Duke of the Empire and the elder of the vampires.
After all, Chen Mo's Vampire Knight Order was established with his help. Marcus had indeed contributed greatly to the establishment of this huge Empire.
As for whether or not he would have any ideas after Chen Mo left, Chen Mo wasn't worried.
First of all, he didn't dare to overstep his boundaries. What he revered and feared was Chen Mo's identity as "God". Even if Chen Mo left, he would still be the God of the Empire. His deterrence wouldn't be reduced in the slightest. On the contrary, he would become a sharp sword hanging high above, constantly reminding him that a true God was watching his every move.
Moreover, even if he did have any ideas, with Andrew, Amelia, and Victor there, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
In the movie, Victor had been steadily suppressing Marcus, the ancestor of vampires, and firmly grasped the power of the Vampire Empire.
This was because the majority of vampires were once the subordinates of Victor and Amelia. Marcus had the title of the ancestor of vampires, but he was alone and couldn't command many vampires.
Now, whether it was in terms of strength or influence, Andrew and Victor were firmly suppressing Marcus. Chen Mo believed that they would look favorably upon him.
. He was the one who had followed Chen Mo for the longest. He was the most seniority and the strongest. He was the one who was the strongest. The First, He was the one who had the Knight Order. He had been the one of the first hundred Knight Order... was the one was the strongest was the strongest strength....
Apart from the four Grand Dukes, the Eight Marquises were the ones who had survived the massacre of the werewolves. Under his leadership, they defended the stone house against the werewolves. In the end, they were rescued by Chen Mo. They were also the Eight Captains of the First Hundred Knight Order. Now, they were Silver Knights.
Although their status wasn't as high as Victor and Amelia, who were the three Grand Elders of vampires in the movie, they were only below them. In terms of prestige and rallying power in the Temple Knight Order, the Eight Marquises were above Marcus.
As Andrew's first companions and subordinates, they were as close to him as brothers. Their relationship was incomparably deep, and they were brothers who could entrust their lives to each other. They absolutely supported and obeyed Andrew.
With the Eight Marquises' assistance and Amelia's support, Andrew wouldn't have any problems taking over the Empire. He could be said to be the best candidate at the moment.
Of course, the most important thing was Andrew's absolute loyalty to Chen Mo.
In the entire Temple Knight Order, although all the Knights were very loyal to Chen Mo, including Marcus, their degree of loyalty was still different.
Even the believers of God had different levels of faith, and their degree of devotion was not the same.
Marcus belonged to the kind of believers who revered God, but he would still consider his own gains and losses, and wouldn't dedicate himself wholeheartedly to God.
He wouldn't betray God, but he also wouldn't give up everything he had for God, even his life, and follow God without hesitation.
But Andrew would, Amelia and Victor would, the Eight Marquises and the First Hundred Knight Order, and even the remaining Knights who had gone through a strict selection later on would firmly follow Chen Mo.
As long as Chen Mo gave the order, even if they had to go to an unfamiliar place full of difficulties, dangers, and challenges, where the enemy was more powerful than them, and start from scratch, they would still unhesitatingly give up their current titles, territories, rights, and wealth, and follow him without hesitation.
Because their loyalty and faith to Chen Mo had already surpassed their own lives, and Andrew was undoubtedly the most loyal among them. Even if Chen Mo returned after hundreds or thousands of years, he wouldn't hesitate to hand over the throne to him.
Status, rights, wealth, and beauty, nothing could corrode Andrew's unwavering loyalty to Chen Mo.
Therefore, Andrew was the best candidate to take over the throne at the moment.
But this time, Chen Mo miscalculated. He never expected that Andrew would be so devout in his faith that he wouldn't accept the throne in front of him.
But this was understandable. For a devout believer of God, even if the God in the temple left his throne, he would never have the thought of sitting on it. To him, this was blasphemy against God, and he wouldn't allow himself to do anything blasphemous.
Chen Mo didn't expect the best candidate to refuse to accept the throne because he was too loyal to him.
Just as Chen Mo was having a headache over this, he suddenly heard a bell-like laughter. Chen Mo couldn't help but smile when he heard it, and walked to the window.
Through the glass window, Chen Mo looked down and saw little Selena and William chasing each other in an open space not far away.
The tall and strong William was being chased all over the place by little Selena, who only reached his waist. Dressed in a snow-white princess dress, the petite and adorable little Selena was chasing him with bared teeth and brandished claws, giggling happily.
After being tempted by Chen Mo with a big bag of candies, she pinched her nose and drank a test tube of Chen Mo's Perfect Blood. Little Selena's body had also been strengthened. Although she was petite, her strength and speed were shockingly strong.
As her body hadn't fully developed yet, her strength wasn't particularly terrifying. She was only slightly stronger than an ordinary Vampire, about three times stronger than an ordinary Vampire.
But in terms of speed, little Selena was comparable to William, who was the ancestor of the werewolves. In fact, the petite Selena was even more agile than the tall William.
No matter how hard he ran, he couldn't shake off Selena, who was following him closely. In the end, William wasn't careful enough and couldn't dodge in time. Selena grabbed onto his clothes, and he had no choice but to stop running in frustration.
Selena proudly extended her little hand toward William. Dejected, William slowly took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to the happy little Selena with a face full of reluctance.
Selena grabbed the candy from William's hand and carefully stuffed it into her little pocket. She was so happy that her big eyes curved into crescents.
Chen Mo stood in front of the window and looked down at little Selena, who was giggling happily because she had won a piece of candy. The corners of his mouth slowly curled into a smile.
In the center of the Imperial Capital, there was a vast, majestic, and towering Gothic building complex. It would be more appropriate to call it a palace.
It was made up of many tall and majestic buildings. Surrounded by churches, bell towers, palaces, and towers, there was a huge palace in the center that was taller than all the buildings around it. It was incomparably majestic and magnificent. This was the God that all the citizens of the Empire worshipped, their Emperor Chen Mo's Thunder Temple.
Other than the reinforced concrete frame of the pillars, the main body of the temple was made of the same hard, pitch-black stone as the Blackstone Castle.
Two rows of dozens of giant black stone pillars that were at least a hundred meters tall supported the entire temple. The interior of the temple was extremely spacious and tall. It made people feel insignificant when they were in it.
Huge relief sculptures were carved on the surrounding tall walls. They recorded the entire process of Chen Mo leading his Knight Regiment to kill the werewolves and conquer Europe.
The entire temple was deep, heavy, and solemn. Inside it, people could not help but be in awe. Their expressions also became solemn and dignified.
Although the entire temple was mainly black, the interior of the temple was not too dark.
On the dome of the temple and on the surrounding tall walls, there were dozens of wide glass windows. The sunlight from the outside shone through these windows and shone into the entire temple from the high ceiling.
Above the temple, dozens of wide black stone stairs were connected to a wide platform. A tall and majestic black throne was located in the middle of the platform. That was Chen Mo's Throne of Gods.
Since the day of its construction, the temple's doors had been tightly shut. No one was allowed to enter the temple. Today, however, it was very different.
At this time, in this magnificent temple, hundreds of Knight Temple wearing silver heavy armor with the insignia of a nine-headed evil dragon engraved on their chests were standing orderly on the right side of the throne.
On the other side, hundreds of elegantly dressed nobles stood respectfully with their heads bowed.
They were the Empire's city lords, governors, and the main administrative officials of the Empire's various departments. They were the most capable people that Chen Mo had selected from the many nobles who had submitted to him. They were the ones who managed the vast territory of the Empire and handled all kinds of government affairs for him.
The noon sun shone in through the huge glass windows above, projecting dozens of huge golden light pillars in this vast and towering temple. Those bright golden light pillars added a touch of holiness and magnificence to this black temple.
