Chapter 327 - Frustrated Goddess And Extortion

-----

In the Divine Realm of Agatheina, where the Goddess of Blood has resided for thousands of years, there was a small commotion inside the scarlet palace in the middle of this space.

The servants of Agatheina, who were beings created from her own blood and others who were her descendants who ascended into Living Deity Species, were scared…

The Goddess had let an amazing opportunity slip off her grasp…

"I can't believe it…! To think that that irregular somehow obtained my bloodline and lineage?! How could it?! What kind of abilities does it have?! Why haven't the other gods notified me about this?!"

Clash!

The beautiful goddess of blood, who resembled a doll due to her perfect features, was enraged, and her entire body has suddenly changed, resembling a bat-like beast covered in dark fur and countless eyes on its head, its ears were long and sharp, and it had a long reptile-like tail with the end of a snakehead, which was also as enraged as her.

Clash!

The goddess… no, the terrible beast, released an incredibly bloodthirsty pressure in the form of her own Aura, making most of her servants be paralyzed instantly, as she smashed them into pulp due to her rage…

"GAAAAHH! How could my bloodline be suppressed and assimilated?! Does that mean that this irregular has a superior bloodline than a Goddess like myself?! Impossible! That is impossible!!!"

Agatheina had always hated irregulars, Vampires born from the system, and not from her descendants. She felt betrayed by the World's Will by using her own lineage as a tool to make mortals stronger without her permission.

The lineage that she had worked so hard to evolve until she managed to create a new and powerful race of ageless beings named Vampires. She had used this Lineage to her advantage, using its power and latent talent to raise from a mere mortal to the Goddess that represents Blood itself.

Yet… the tool that she worked so hard to obtain and evolve was copied by the System and granted aimlessly to anything that could evolve… beasts, insects, even other races that she despised…

Kireina, the irregular, had obtained Agatheina's Bloodline and Lineage when she Devoured Castien's flesh and blood, and before Agatheina could fully realize this and use it to her advantage to brainwash Kireina with the connection she had from her Bloodline, she had been suddenly suppressed by the System, notifying her of something outrageous.

[The [Target] Bloodline has been suppressed and merged to a [Superior Bloodline] control over [Target] has been negated, further retry to control [Descendant] will result in a punishment by the [System Master]

[You have been warned]

"'Y-You have been warned'?! How dare you threaten me?! A Goddess! You damned artificial being! GRAAAAAAAAAHH…!"

Clash!

Yet another of Agatheina's servants was smashed into a pulp, and in her rage, the beastly goddess let loose of her desires and devoured the smashed corpses who were once her descendants, blood of her blood, recovering some of her sanity… As she did, her body shapeshifted back to her humanoid self, once again resembling beautiful maiden, so beautiful and perfect that she could be mistaken by a doll.

"Ugh… What a mess, clean it up!"

Her servants didn't say a word, they obeyed her right away, quickly cleaning the bloody mess in the palace's room.

As they did, Agatheina sat down in her crimson throne, resting her head on her hand.

"And to make things worse… She defeated that Elf Vampire who I have given the flesh of a Divine Beast… If her powers are based on absorbing the abilities of what she eats as Skills… then, she may already have absorbed the power of the Crimson Monkey Muscles… However, I doubt that she would be able to put it in any use, as she lacks Divine Energy, a mere mortal cannot produce it, no matter how strong it is and no matter how assisted it is by the System" said Agatheina, as she glanced at the holographic screen of the System… the power that was created by the World's Will to enslave the dangerous existences that called themselves "gods", who once led the World of Genesis to its destruction.

She hated the System, as it limited the development of gods tremendously, while also giving them punishments and also gifting mortals… It was an unfair System, that favored the development of mortals, not gods.

She had even thought about creating her own System, or do modifications to it like some Great and Supreme Gods can… But she lacked the Divine Energy necessary, which was tremendous. She lacked Space Attribute Magic as well, necessary to adjust the System and slightly change it to one's advantage.

Indeed… Even if the System seemed to be "all-powerful", gods who held enough Divine Energy, the "origin" of everything, could slightly change the System, and slowly make it less restricting. However, only the Great and Supreme Gods were able to do so, and those who were experienced in Space Attribute Magic.

A mere Goddess of Rank 5 like Agatheina wasn't able to do this, even if she were to pour all of her saved Divine Energy, she wouldn't be able to, even if she sold all of her materials, pieces of her body and only her soul and Divine Energy remained, she wouldn't be able to do anything. It was hopeless.

This is why she wanted to gather Divine Energy through the religion, making the mortals worship her, she would grow stronger and stronger… surpassing her limits and the vast Divine Walls named Ranks, evolving into a Great Goddess and then… a Supreme Goddess.

This was Agatheina's greatest desire, the reason for her existence, the reason she kept trying, the reason she invested in her foolish mortal descendants!

This is why she wanted her children to do good in Thanatos, to invade the Cilane Kingdom, to gain merit after merit until they could finally raise into a Royal Family, and then, they would be able to grasp the ownership of the Kingdom through elections, making one of her mortal descendants a King or a Queen… And when the whole Kingdom of demons worshiped her and only her, she would invade other Kingdoms, and make other worship her even more, until the whole Realm was in the grasp of her hands, constantly supplying her with Divine Energy.

However, the first step was being already suppressed by the plans of a weak Demi-God, who was protected by the Pantheon of the Great Goddess of Beasts Ova, Morpheus, one of Ova's children. If Agatheina were to mess with him, there was no guarantee that she would survive the fury of the Great Goddess of Beast, who held an incommensurable power, even if Agatheina gained ten times her original power, she wouldn't be able to fight against such a being.

The only thing she could do is interfere in the mortal's realm, use her power and resources to make her descendants stronger and then order them to slaughter the irregular blessed by the System Master… She was hoping for it to succeed.

It hasn't even been a year since that irregular was born, she assumed that it wouldn't be as powerful… But she was wrong. Not even a year, not even 365 days have passed and that being had already conquered a Lone God's Divine Dungeon and even ate a Divine Species named Ymir who was destined to become a God in the Pantheon of War and Fire.

The gods of War and Fire were as enraged as her. How could a mere mortal, who was born as an insect raise so fast, to the point that it was able to conquer a divine dungeon and eat a future god in less than a year?

Such a fast development and growth has never been seen before. And the one behind all of this was the System Master… Why has he given this mortal the ability to grow so fast? With what purpose has he given her this much potential?

Agatheina could only think about it wanting this irregular to overthrown the weakest gods and probably held even more authority over the gods as if they weren't restricted enough.

Some gods that she had talked to had even theorized that this being wasn't really a mortal, but the "avatar" of the System Master, who was tired of being a servant of the World's Will and wanted to destroy the balance of the world.

Agatheina grimaced these thoughts as a servant made entirely of blood brought to her a cup of high-quality Divine Beast blood, which she drank in one go.

"Haaah…! No matter how strong she is, she won't be able to fight all of my descendants, who have received special relics and the flesh of Divine Beasts… however, I must alert them about Castien's death, and also hurry them up over the conversion of the Cilane King, if they can convert the current King before the Thanatos Kingdom sends its army, it will be a complete victory from my family, gaining tons of merits in that Kingdom… Sigh, to think that I would be troubling myself with gaining merits in a mortal Kingdom… just how pathetic have I become…? At the very least, the blood and flesh of that irregular will be delicious… I'm sure of it! Bwahaha…! One step at a time, Agatheina, and the entire World of Genesis will be yours!"

Agatheina drank more of her Divine Beast blood as she called some male and female servants, all of them resembled handsome and beautiful Vampires, they had thick muscles and also beautiful curves, while wearing alluring and revealing red clothes…

She needed to release some of her frustrations, and intercourse was one of the best ways that she knew, even as a goddess.

Meanwhile, in the Mortal Realm of Vida, the Cilane Kingdom King was being offered an amazing deal…

Hepherios Cilane, the current King of Cilane, and the young brother of the previous King, whose he beheaded himself, was being offered an amazing deal from three beautiful and handsome Vampires.

A small, petite girl with pale white skin, long blonde hair and crimson eyes led the group, while the others, a large man with long black hair and a beard and an alluringly beautiful woman with large chest and hips who had short blue hair and crimson eyes were at her left and right side.

"So… King Hepherios, what do you think?" Said the little blonde Vampire.

"A guaranteed chance to become a Vampire… and obtain eternal life… While also keeping dominance over the Kingdom even as a vassal Nation and also being given a Duke Title in the Thanatos Kingdom… It is a very amazing deal, if I say so myself" Said the beautiful and voluptuous short-haired Vampire woman.

"Indeed… you will be even given a high position in the Vampire Family, higher than us, almost at the same level as the Head of the Family, Lady Aleksandra…" Said the large Vampire man.

"I-I… B-But… Wouldn't I be selling off my Kingdom…?"

King Hepherios may have betrayed his brother for the throne, and he may have some twister mindsets, but he treasured his Kingdom as his own domain, giving it away was very hard for such a greedy man as himself.

"But I would be giving away the Kingdom that I've worked so hard to own… You Vampires…"

"Fuhuhu… Is there even another option, King Hepherios~?" Laughed the little blonde Vampire.

"Please, reconsider it… It is a very good offer… better than what would await you if you decline…" said the alluring blue-haired Vampire woman.

"Indeed… a King should be wise and think on the best of his Kingdom and the people… and of course, its own life should be prioritized if possible," said the large Vampire man, with a grin on his large and stoic face.

King Hepherios didn't have many options, three Vampires who held immense power were in front of him, even as a King, he didn't have much power… The Cilane Kingdom was governed by the Royal Family, not by talented and powerful warriors like other Kingdoms, strength was secondary, and bloodline and riches were first.

Perhaps Morpheus, the founder of the Kingdom and the Centaurs ancestors didn't teach his children well enough…

Hepherios didn't have any chance, if he wanted to keep his life intact, he would have to accept this incredibly generous offer… Or else, be killed and eaten.

At the same time, Kireina and her wives rushed towards a nearby Resistance base, where a group of Vampires led by two powerful Vampire Nobles was invading and slaughtering the people, who intended to retake the Kingdom one day.

A teenage girl, apparently at her 13's, with long purple hair and crimson eyes, wearing a gothic dress and holding the puppet of a baby was floating in the snowy sky while conversing with another Vampire at her side… if it could be called a Vampire.

A large creature, with the body of an Ogre, the wings of a bat, and the claws of a crustacean, with its head covered in a large dark-colored and spiky helmet, was floating at her side as if it were her guardian.

"Tehee~ It is here~! Let's play together… irregular-chan~"

"Guuooooonnnhh…"
