My Blood Legacy: Reincarnated as a Vampire

A shock... I think that could define how everyone in that room felt upon seeing and hearing what that Demon was saying, especially given the honesty he was displaying. It was almost ironic to think that everyone there was trying to hide their strength, but he... He was openly showing everything he had, even his trump cards...

'What is this man planning...' Lyam, the Hero King, was truly bothered by this, especially because of the title that both he and Dante carried.

One was the Hero, and the other the Demon King, and ancient stories spoke of the relentless battle between these two beings, which always occurred in all the old tales... But compared to reality, what the hell was this? It was impossible to stop this man!

'So... that's what a World Tree is...' Alice thought, while analyzing every inch of Fey with her eyes. Even though she couldn't feel any energy coming from her, she knew one thing... 'Strong, almost Supreme level.'

Alice had her own method of calculating someone's power, and Fey, she was clearly at the top of the list of everyone she had ever met. She was basically a Goddess among mortals, different from the false gods that children read about in books and don't even really exist in the world.

"You didn't tell me about this." Alice said telepathically to Morgana, who was by her side. "I never committed to sharing my husband's personal life and romantic interests." She responded sharply, leaving no room for her mother to question anything, after all, they were alike—if Morgana gave in, Alice would want to study the Natural energy of the World Trees.

While this internal impasse occurred, the others couldn't help but sigh. Especially Titania, who knew about the World Trees—after all, of all the people there, the Fairies and Spirits were like the Children of the World Trees... So she knew something.

"This is a bit disappointing, World Tree." She commented, not as an insult but out of frustration. She didn't even know this World Tree; her experience was more with the one from Nightsphere, not Fey herself.

"I also remember something quite disappointing that killed millions of spirits, but I don't go around commenting on what I find disappointing, do I, Little Titania Nightfall?" Dante commented with a smile, attacking her seriously...

"Sorry for the comment. I'll be more careful with my words." Titania quickly responded, despite stuttering.

The scene made most there uncomfortable...

"So, let's talk about the truth." Dante caught everyone's attention as Morgana made a gesture, creating a Magic Hologram showing all the World Trees that had been destroyed. "First, I want you to find all the Heavenly Virtues and all the Seven Deadly Sins." Dante said, looking primarily at the Human Kings, who by the way...

"Especially the Seven Deadly Sins, I want them in my hands. I already have Lust and Greed with me." Dante said calmly as Evangeline appeared from a pool of miasma on the ground. "The cute little queen over there has already felt the authority of Lust." He said, looking at Elara, who trembled at the mere thought.

"Why?" Katarina, who had been quiet, questioned. She was a bit hesitant. She really just wanted to observe, but this was escalating in ways she never imagined it would.

"Unlike the Demons aligned with Lucifer, the Demon Kings, the sins can manifest in the human world. The former Lust was killed by one of the Heroes about 22 years ago." Dante said, glancing sideways to see if the Hero King would react... He still had to find out who killed Vex's mother.

"I have two of the Seven, but since Lucifer is Pride, that leaves four." Dante said, looking at the others. "I want to absorb all of them before going to kill Lucifer and take the Seventh Sin." He commented, almost casually...

"I'll do my best." Elara said, "But I believe in my Kingdom there's only Joan of Arc... And she's not too keen on talking." She mentioned, as if recalling a bad memory.

"I will as well; it is my duty to eradicate demons." The Hero King commented. "But I want confirmation that the sins will be eradicated from the Human World." He said.

"I can guarantee that, on the lives of my wives." Dante said, speaking much more seriously than usual. Well... all of them looked at him incredulously at what he was using as an oath...

While he dealt with their stares, the others began to agree. But on one specific point.

"I can't help much either… We're Rebuilding the Witch City." Alice said with a crooked smile, "But I will send my Tracking Witches to your service." She finished, but Dante knew it was just a lie.

'Let's see who will go against you.' He heard mentally from the Witch Queen, who gave an almost imperceptible smile.

Taking advantage of the gap Alice created…

"I'm out of this too." Orion replied, "We have too many problems to waste time hunting demons around the world."

"Don't count on me." Velkan said, "Don't involve me in this, I'm at war with that Bitch." He concluded, looking at Siren.

"I'm still having issues with my fairies… That incident caused some internal problems…" Titania murmured, well, she was actually telling the truth. Dante already knew about the problems the fairies were having… And it was comical to know that after ten years, they still hadn't resolved them.

"I have a question." This time, it was Elowyn Frostsky who drew everyone's attention… Someone Dante hadn't even noticed was there because she didn't emanate any aura.

"Go ahead, feel free." Dante said.

"I don't want to be rude, but I find it insulting that you are dictating the fate of two entire planets simply because you want a war whose nature we don't even understand." Her voice didn't waver, and her posture was firm, echoing the frustration shared by everyone in the room but who didn't dare express it.

"I understand the desire to control the demons in our worlds, but that doesn't give you the right to act as a supreme ruler." Her gaze remained steady, with no hint of fear.

Dante smiled, a dangerous smile. "Ah, so I don't need to continue being polite, right?" His voice was low, almost a whisper that still reverberated through the hall. The surrounding environment seemed to contract, suffocated by his growing presence.

"You think I want to be here? Please… I hate having to deal with you grown-up children." His tone, initially almost casual, became brutal as he let his long-suppressed aura release. The air around became dense, pulsating with a dark energy that pressed on the others like a crushing weight.

"I'm taking the lead because none of you have the power or knowledge necessary for this." He looked at her with disdain. "So, if you don't want to follow my orders, fine." The darkness in his aura intensified, enveloping every corner of the room. "Those who support me, I will accept. Those who don't...

die alone." He smiled, a smile that exuded death, as the room was consumed by a black aura that seemed to devour the light—it was the Miasma of Hell.

But…

"I agree with the plan," Vlad's voice cut through the tension like a cold blade. Of course, he had inside information and knew what Dante was really planning.

"I also agree with Dante Scarlet," said the Director of Kryoris, his voice emerging from the back of the room as if it had always been there, silently observing… Well, he just didn't have much voice compared to a Ruler.

"Agreed," resonated the voices of Titania, Baskev, Lyrianna, Aldria, and Siren, a unanimous approval.

Dante turned slowly, like a predator preparing to attack. "So, only the Human Kings are left." The hall fell silent as they reluctantly nodded, defeated even before attempting to resist, after all, they were no match for any of the Supernatural Beings in the room.

"Great, now only the two fucking idiots are left," he said, his voice sharpening like a blade, the atmosphere changing again, this time with a contained violence ready to explode.

Velkan raised his aura, trying to match Dante's. The air around them trembled with the clash of forces. "What do you mean by that?" he growled, feeling the provocation.

"You know very well what I mean, you filthy dog." Dante's voice took on a deadly tone, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze, the air heavy and suffocating. Everyone in the room felt his presence like a shadow looming over their souls. "The Queen of the Werewolves has already agreed. That means a useless king like you has lost his voice here."

Velkan rose violently, fury pulsating through his veins. He was an alpha; he could not accept being challenged in this way. "Are you testing me, worm?" Velkan's rage was palpable, but Dante did not back down.

Dante laughed, a dark laugh that brought no joy, only threat.

"Did you think this was just a little meeting to save the world?" He approached. "To hell with the world. I have the World Tree and Hell on my shoulders." Fey, who had left his lap and sat in his place, felt a slight tremor upon hearing that she was his…

The entire room was enveloped in a stunned silence.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He continued, his voice low and dangerous. "I'm here for… old scores. Aren't I, Alexander Sucellus and Forki Dolafor?" His eyes turned to the two men, whose bodies trembled, knowing well what he was implying.

"Are you here for revenge?" Velkan realized and growled, feeling his own rage rise as Dante's aura only intensified.

Dante gave a cruel smile, leaning slightly forward. "Look at that… seems we have a genius here. Did you think that after ten years, I would simply let those who helped kill me go unpunished?" His eyes were fixed on Velkan, now filled with a cold fury.

"Siren," Dante said, without even looking at her while still glaring at Velkan, "are you ready to take on a kingdom?"

She crossed her arms, her expression unfazed. "Absolutely."

Dante stood up completely, his presence becoming even more suffocating. "Then, I, Dante Scarlet, declare war on the Werewolf Kingdom ruled by Velkan Sucellus."
