Unwritten Mythos

The next day, the sky was clear.

The night before, the angel had practically single-handedly matched both factions.

This had caused the GPA's faces to turn sour. They began frantically sending Kitsune various strange and ominous messages.

"The two from yesterday, weren't they you Kitsune folks? Tsk, tsk. That one's fast, too bad they didn't participate in the hundred-meter sprint."

"Hey, no way, it's just that our angel is too strong."

"What's this called? This is called, invincible."

Seeing the tone of the GPA group, Zero chuckled. "The monster who called himself invincible is now gone."

He was talking about 009.

After ending the connection, Zero turned towards a cabinet in the corner.

"An angel who can evolve by devouring sound. The GPA really loves to make humans miserable."

"They let a monster grow unchecked and treat her as a weapon, so they'll definitely be the first ones to feel the consequences."

"It doesn't matter if the GPA survives or not. But if that monster continues to grow, grows to the point where no one can deal with her, then all of humanity will pay the price for their foolishness."

"I have to think of a way to kill her before she grows stronger."

...

New York.

Manhattan, inside a row of houses.

008, in her feminine form, sat on a chair, stroking her beloved gun.

"They must know by now, the angel is stronger than me, stronger than all the Vampires combined."

Faerûn smiled from the side. "Yes, everything is going according to plan. We deliberately showed weakness, and now the angel has become the most obvious target."

"Whether it's CI or Kitsune, they must have realized the angel's danger."

"Now we just have to wait…"

Faerûn's words were interrupted by Zane. "Empress, forgive my bluntness, but we can't sit back and wait, nor can we try to fish in troubled waters."

"It doesn't do us any good for them to fight each other to the death. I'm guessing it won't be long before they realize you were deliberately showing weakness."

"It won't be too long. I suggest you stick to our original plan. While they're still reacting, head to Hawaii."

008 checked her ammo and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the gun.

"The North Pacific… I smell fish. A really unpleasant kind. If he was here, I'd really like to shoot him in the head."

008, in her white-haired, feminine form, said this with a terrifying expression. This caused all the royals to tense up.

"You… seem to know the creature in the sea?"

008 turned her eyes. "He's killed me three times, and all three times successfully."

"I am what I am today because of him. He killed 'us.' One day, we'll make him pay in blood. But not now."

"The Lord who sent me here told me I need to rest here for a year before I can leave."

"It's not been a year yet."

Um…

Which Lord?

"But Empress, the Lord's orders are important, but your safety is paramount!" a female royal urged.

008 blew out a breath and placed the gun on a shelf.

"No, my safety isn't important."

"Nothing in the world is more important than the Lord's order."

"The Lord said a year. Until that time is up, I won't leave New York. Not even for a second."

Hearing this, Faerûn immediately spoke up: "I agree with the Empress!"

"Why should we run? This is our home, our territory. They're the ones who should be running!"

"Empress, I, Faerûn Baji, will fight alongside you to the death!"

Hearing this, 008 shifted, instantly transforming into the black-suited, blood-eyed, male form.

Seeing this, the four royals immediately knelt!

"Greetings, True Ancestor!" x4

The True Ancestor form of 008 stood up. "No need to do that every time. It's all the same, him, her, and me."

"We are one."

The four royals stood up. "Yes, True Ancestor, about the situation earlier…"

The True Ancestor glanced at Zane. "If the angel had gone all out in yesterday's fight, I would have been at least sixty percent confident that I could kill her within ten minutes."

Sixty percent?

Hearing that probability, everyone was slightly surprised.

The True Ancestor's usual win-loss ratio against opponents was 10:0 or 9:1.

Sixty percent this time?

But on second thought, it made sense. After all, this was an angel.

Thinking this, they saw the True Ancestor's pupils suddenly dilate. His figure flashed, instantly reaching the window of the skyscraper.

Through the glass, he saw the starry sky and the full moon.

"It's… a full moon?"

For some reason, the True Ancestor suddenly laughed, an eerie sound.

The group of royals didn't understand. What difference did a full moon make?

A full moon wouldn't give a vampire a buff.

This wasn't a movie or a game. Whether the moon was full or not had absolutely no effect on them.

Theoretically, the moon had no connection to them.

But the True Ancestor seemed to be different. He extended two fingers on each of his arms, meeting in the center, aiming at the full moon in the sky like a camera.

"Seven days from now, huh? Not too late."

In the True Ancestor's eyes, a red dot appeared on the full moon. This red dot was slowly expanding.

This was the True Ancestor's newly discovered ability, lunar transfixion.

Until today, he hadn't even known he had this ability.

Because this ability seems to have a trigger condition: It can only be activated under a full moon.

And after activation, it requires a short cooldown period.

Once the cooldown is complete, the Blood Moon will descend!

At that time, blood will engulf the earth, all life will tremble, and vampire abilities will experience a qualitative leap under such circumstances!

The Blood Moon will grant them almost limitless Blood Energy, and at the same time, allow non-high-level vampires to grow twice as fast as their current level!

The only downside is the ridiculously long wait time and the requirement for a full moon.

The True Ancestor turned his head back. "Now, I'm 80% confident."

"Shar, bring Lilith back. I want the five of you to witness this unprecedented, magnificent spectacle with me."

Meanwhile.

Lilith and Shino peeked out from behind a wall.

"Seems like no one's following us."

"Yeah, I'm not blind."

"The royal isn't here, the angel isn't here. On the bright side, maybe your True Ancestor and the angel fought, and then Faerûn got dragged into the fight, and the angel killed him?"

"Hey, it's possible!"

"Right!"

"Right, right!"

At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind them.

"Stop playing around, Lilith. The True Ancestor sent me to find you."
