Chapter 795: The Demon King of Tyranny, Victor Alucard.

Samar.

"Huuh...? What happened?" Anna asked. "Why did he suddenly disappear?"

Victor was taking her and his Wives on a tour of the Werewolf Society, but suddenly, he vanished.

"Something must have happened..." Kaguya narrowed her eyes.

"Before discussing this, let's get off the street," Bruna said.

The girls nodded and leaped towards the buildings. When they reached the top of a building and looked at the nighttime city, they began to talk.

"Victor wouldn't disappear like that without a good reason, so something must have happened," Leona began to speak.

That was something they all agreed on. They knew how overprotective Victor was of them.

"Could something have happened to the girls in The Greek Underworld?" Eve speculated.

Kaguya was about to say it was impossible since they were among the strongest women of their Faction, but nothing in this world was impossible, so she said, "It's possible."

As they all pondered on what could have happened, red Energy appeared beside them, and a woman materialized.

"Roxanne!" The girls reacted.

"We have a problem."

Seeing Roxanne's serious face, all the girls immediately became serious.

"What happened?" Anna asked.

"Nyx, Scathach, Aphrodite, and Morgana were ambushed by two Primordial Gods in the Greek Underworld. Scathach used the item Victor said could summon The Demon King at any time, and because of that, Victor suddenly disappeared."

All the girls widened their eyes.

"... For Scathach to judge that Victor's presence was necessary... They must have been at a significant disadvantage," Kaguya commented in complete disbelief. She expected such an attitude from any of Victor's harem members, but not from Scathach or Haruna, as these two women were basically the female versions of Victor when it came to fighting.

"Let's go back to Nightingale," Anna said.

"And what about Samar's plan?" Maria asked.

"That's not important right now; our Family is in danger, we need to regroup," Anna declared.

The girls nodded in agreement, and then they looked at Natalia.

"Leave it to me." The Heiress of Clan Alioth created a portal directly to Nightingale, and soon, they all went through it.

...

Greek Underworld.

"Are you done?" Victor asked, thinking that the Gods seemed to enjoy monologuing a lot.

"Maybe." Erebus chuckled.

Erebus' confident demeanor made Victor suspicious. Suddenly, the world around him started to slow down. He turned his head to the right and saw a man in a running position.

The man's eyes widened in surprise when he saw Victor's Draconic Gaze.

Rumble, Rumble, Rumble.

Red Lightning began to cover Victor's body, and he quickly reacted at the same speed as the man. Victor attacked the man, but he dodged and fell face-first to the ground.

"How did he react at my speed? I'm the fastest God!" Hermes grumbled while getting up.

"Hermes, what are you doing?" Erebus asked with a stoic expression. He didn't seem bothered to be held by the neck; in fact, he looked quite comfortable in that position.

"Trying to help."

"It doesn't seem to be working."

"Ungrateful!" Hermes shouted as he ran away.

Victor ignored The Messenger God and looked into the distance, where he saw several Gods and Titans approaching him.

"You planned all of this?"

"That's correct. Olympus doesn't need a third party. So, can you just leave? This is a matter between us and Persephone."

"... If I hadn't appeared, what would you have done to my Wives?"

"Well..."

Victor's fist struck Erebus's face.

"I didn't even say anything!"

"You didn't need to. Your emotions told me everything." Victor didn't like what he felt.

"Tsk, annoying Mortal, why did an anomaly like you have to be born?" Power began to gather in Erebus's body, transforming him into a Being of Pure Darkness.

"There's already a damned Progenitor of Vampires! What are the Primordials thinking!?"

"Ask them when you die." Junketsu's gauntlets became even sharper, and Victor pierced Erebus's heart, specifically targeting the Primordial God's Soul, intending to erase him from existence.

Victor narrowed his eyes as he felt his hand being blocked by an invisible barrier, and Erebus's body began to dissolve.

"... Hahahaha, it's not that easy to kill a Primordial God, Demon King." Erebus's voice resonated around.

"See you later, if you survive the horde of Gods."

"Tsk."

"Victor, did you kill him?" Scathach asked.

"I couldn't kill him, but his Soul was damaged." Victor looked towards the horizon.

A few seconds passed, and various Gods and Titans appeared in their Divine Forms.

Victor narrowed his eyes.

"Scathach, be prepared to go all out if necessary. Leave the troublesome ones to me, and deal with the others. You too, girls."

"And give this to that woman." Victor tossed the World Tree twig to Morgana.

Nyx's eyes widened when she saw the twig.

"Hurry up, woman. Are you sleeping?" Victor spoke with a heavier tone.

"Y-Yes!" Nyx replied.

...

"That was dangerous..." Erebus murmured as he touched his body, able to sense his Soul.

"Your Soul was damaged; it will take a long time to recover. I suggest you visit Ra; he might be able to help you."

Erebus looked to the side and saw the face of another Primordial God, from a different Pantheon.

"Amon, thank you for helping me."

"You owe me."

"I know."

Red flames appeared not far away, and soon Tartarus appeared... with his entire body burned.

"It's been a while since my body has been this damaged, probably since Gaia went into a fury," Tartarus commented in a monotone but still irritated tone.

"... To think that a Mortal would have such Power to even harm Primordial Gods." Amon spoke in disbelief.

"Besides being the Progenitor of Vampires, a Being capable of interacting with Souls, he also possesses the support of a World Tree and an Ancient Dragon... Having such Power should be expected... Although it's still incredible."

"Now, I understand why Ra prohibited the more unruly Gods from 'challenging' the new God." Amon spoke with disdain.

Considering a Mortal as a God was nothing but blasphemy to him.

"Erebus, why did you tell me to retreat? We could have killed him." Tartarus asked.

"Probably, but that was not our objective."

"Wasting time on a futile fight is counterproductive." Erebus was quite pragmatic about this matter; even though his Soul had been damaged, he could easily recover with the help of the other Pantheon.

"Not to mention, we're dealing with the anomaly; our victory may not have been entirely set in stone." Erebus spoke naturally as he scanned his body.

And when he did that, his face distorted. Now he was irritated.

"What happened?" Tartarus asked.

"He stole The Fragment of The World Tree." Erebus replied.

"So all our efforts were in vain." Tartarus spoke with annoyance.

"Indeed." Erebus's eyes gleamed; one thing he disliked was doing something pointless, and Victor retrieving The Fragment of The World Tree was more annoying to him than Victor harming his body. After all, Erebus had plans for Nyx's Powers, but now those plans were thrown out the window.

"Hey, look at this, it's getting interesting." Amon called the two Gods.

When Tartarus and Erebus looked where Amon was pointing, they saw the image of a man with long Dragon wings, long black floating hair, and a terrible Negative Energy covering his body, similar to what was seen in the fight against Diablo.

This man was looking at the hundreds of Gods and Titans with an indifferent gaze that made even the Gods tremble.

"I wonder what he'll do; even I wouldn't face so many Gods and Second-Generation Primordial Gods alone." Amon spoke with interest.

"One thing we know about The Demon King is... He won't retreat, no matter the situation... Even if it's unfavorable for him." Erebus spoke.

...

"W-Who is that man...?" Artemis asked.

"... Victor Alucard, The New King of Hell and the one responsible for the death of the former King, Diablo." Athena spoke in a neutral tone.

"... And to think he would be so... Oppressive." Artemis said.

Athena merely nodded as she looked at the scene around; all these arrogant Gods were looking on with extreme caution, and some even with fear.

It was as if the man in front of them was a very scary boogeyman or something. His own status as a 'Mortal' didn't cross their minds at the moment.

They couldn't associate that 'thing' with a Mortal; he was like an unknown creature that emerged from the deepest confines of Hell.

While the feelings of all the Gods were running high, the same couldn't be said for the most arrogant of the group like Zeus, the unknown man, Kronos, and several others like Apollo and Atlas.

"Lizard, I've killed many of your kind-" When Apollo was about to speak, the violet gaze of that man fell upon his body, and immediately he felt as if all the Negativity in the world was weighing on his shoulders.

Apollo's face immediately turned pale, and unconsciously, he took several steps back.

Rumble, Rumble.

Lightning began to cover Zeus's body when he noticed what happened to Apollo; he wasn't the only one affected, even Kronos himself entered combat mode.

Seeing their Leaders preparing to attack, the other Gods also assumed a similar stance.

"Wait, Darling." A pink light appeared next to the Being, and a very BEAUTIFUL Goddess appeared.

"Aphrodite..." Zeus, Kronos, and several men from the Greek Pantheon opened their eyes widely; Aphrodite looked much more beautiful than usual.

Victor's Draconic Eyes looked at Aphrodite, and for a moment, Aphrodite shivered because all she could feel from their connection was instincts of destruction coming from him. But she knew her Husband was very much aware; he was just choosing to let all his Power out as a warning, and it was overwhelming her sensing capabilities.

[Can I try to resolve this through dialogue?] Aphrodite asked mentally.

Victor simply nodded slightly.

Aphrodite smiled satisfactorily and looked at the Gods with a serious gaze:

"This battle has nothing to do with us."

"Your issue is with Persephone. Therefore, this battle is futile." What she was basically saying is, we have nothing to do with this, and we won't fight with you.

But the Gods were not known for their benevolence, especially The Greeks.

"Don't talk nonsense, Aphrodite." A God with a flaming head spoke with a very lecherous look at The Goddess of Beauty.

"He's in our way, so he'll be annihilated."

Aphrodite held Victor's arm more tightly.

"That was not a request, Helios." The Charm of the Goddess slowly began to rise, and soon it exploded all over the battlefield.

"It was an order."

"We will leave, and you will do nothing."

Immediately, all the Gods fell under the Charm of The Goddess of Beauty. An admiring look appeared on everyone's faces, and they looked at the Goddess with obvious desire, but this time servitude was present.

Scathach and Morgana, who were on the ground with Nyx still recovering, opened their eyes widely when they saw the Goddess's Charm being so effective.

"The most terrifying part of Aphrodite is not her fighting ability but her Power to manipulate all sentient Beings... A truly irritating woman to deal with." Nyx sighed in the end.

Aphrodite sighed inwardly relieved; she had never tried to Charm so many Gods at once, but fortunately, she succeeded.

"Let's go, Darling."

Even as she tried to pull Victor, the man wouldn't budge, his eyes were focused on the unknown man.

"... It's not over yet." Victor declared.

And in the next moment, the unknown man smiled, and he clapped his hands, immediately sweeping away all of Aphrodite's Charm from the place.

"Impossible." Aphrodite opened her eyes widely.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please do not fall for the words of The Goddess of Beauty; she wants at all costs to protect her beloved lover after all."

These words made everyone in the Greek Pantheon open their eyes widely, and when they looked at Aphrodite again, they saw how she was protectively holding the man.

And soon, the man's words clicked in their minds.

'Oh, that's what's going on.' They all thought at the same time.

Anger, jealousy, envy, hatred, and various other feelings passed through the faces of all the present Gods; the most coveted Goddess of Beauty with a Mortal? Unforgivable! They couldn't accept that.

"Disgusting. I've always had antipathy towards Gods, big kids who think they're something."

The moment Victor's voice was heard along with a visible pillar of Pure Negative Energy, all the previous feelings they had disappeared, leaving only alertness.

Right, he's not an ordinary Mortal. The understanding came instantaneously.

"But today, my antipathy has risen a few notches, and it's turned into disgust. You don't deserve to exist."

"I admire your courage, Mortal. Speaking those words in front of so many Gods, it's an achievement in itself... But with what army will you back up these words?" Kronos spoke.

"Army...?" A look of amusement appeared on Victor's face followed by... Power... in its purest form began to fall upon everyone around.

That man was on the same level as Zeus and Kronos in pure Energy! Insane!

"... Even if you have Energy equivalent to mine, so what? You can't fight against several Gods alone, Mortal."

Victor ignored Kronos and looked at Scathach.

Victor glanced briefly at Scathach, and at that moment, Scathach fully understood what he was going to do; even without a connection like Aphrodite's, she was the woman who knew him the best.

Scathach quickly jumped towards Aphrodite, taking the woman by the arms, and immediately returned to where they were.

In the next moment, she created a shield of Ice.

"Scathach, what are you doing?"

Scathach ignored her and only looked at Victor, who looked at the Gods again.

When Athena saw this look, all her instincts screamed danger.

"... Something is coming! Run quickly!" Athena warned everyone, but no one listened except for Artemis.

Victor raised both hands as if he were a creator about to usher in a New Era, and he spoke.

"Blood Age."

In an instant, all the noise in the area completely vanished from existence, and in the next moment, the entire terrain of The Underworld exploded in insane amounts of Pure Blood.

Red clouds formed in the sky, and it began to rain Blood.

Everything happened so abruptly and quickly that they didn't even understand what was going on; it was as if they had been forcefully teleported to a completely new world.

"H-Huh?

"Ahhhhhhh, what is this blood!?"

"It hurts... What is this!?"

Zeus, Kronos, and the heavyweights of Olympus tried to use their own Concepts, but everything was being destroyed by The Rain of Blood.

Even Apollo or Helios couldn't summon the 'Sun'.

Which was normal, as the Gods and Titans were in The Underworld, a Realm for Gods affiliated with Hell. If it were Nyx's children, who were part of The Underworld, they could have done something, but since they weren't fighting in Olympus, they weren't gaining the usual boost they would. But even with that boost, it wouldn't be enough to stop what was happening.

"What? Something was just holding me..." A God looked down, and suddenly, a face appeared in The Sea of Blood.

"Hiii! There's something! There's something in the sea!"

As soon as that God said that, the bloody Hell descended upon the peaceful Hell, and everyone began to see creatures of various types and forms coming out of the ocean of blood, attacking the Gods.

"What is happening here!?"

Gods and Goddesses began to be killed in the worst possible ways, torn apart by the sharp teeth of various Demonic Beasts, impaled by the Human-Shaped Beings, severed by those same Human-Shaped Beings.

Rumble, Rumble.

Zeus channeled his Lightning and attacked the ground with all his might, creating a large hole, but soon this hole was covered by the Blood, and creatures began to emerge from that area again.

"Kronos, do something!"

"Do you think I'm just sitting here watching this!? I'm doing something, but nothing works!" Kronos growled.

Like a creator who was creating his own world, Victor made the next move.

"May the Souls contained within my existence gain Life."

When his words were spoken, the entire Sea of Blood began to change and gather into one point. Slowly, this point began to grow stronger until the head of a Dragon made of bodies was created.

ROAAAAAAAAR!

The Dragon's roar shook the entire Olympus Pantheon, announcing its bloody glory.

"What is this...? What is this monster!"

"This monster is called Victor Alucard, ladies and gentlemen." The unknown man laughed, strangely, not even the acid blood rains were affecting him.

"Impossible... He managed to recreate my Technique just by looking at it once... As expected of my monster." Scathach smiled widely as she looked at the Dragon of Bodies rising and flying towards the heavyweights.

'To think that the project he was working on would be to recreate my Strongest Technique in this way... Seriously, he never ceases to surprise me; he doesn't even know the Runes! And yet he managed to recreate this Technique.' Scathach thought.

Originally, the Technique that Scathach recreated was a mixture of her Vampire Count's Power and the Runes she'd learned from her teacher, but it seemed that Victor replaced the Runes with something completely unique to him, The Power of The Progenitor.

"What am I witnessing?" Morgana exclaimed.

"That, my dear Morgana... is our Husband when he's very irritated," Aphrodite spoke with a helpless sigh.

Nyx's mouth was wide open, even drool dripping from it; she couldn't believe what she was witnessing. Even her ex-husband's 'betrayal' was completely erased from her mind due to what she was seeing.

"Apollo, Poseidon, Ares, with me, now!" Zeus said.

"Okay!"

The four Gods attacked the Dragon with all their Divine Powers, and it didn't take long for the Dragon to be torn apart... But... the Dragon exploded, splattering all four Gods with Corrosive Blood.

"AGGHHHH!" They screamed.

The Dragon started to be recreated again, this time not just one, but seven Dragons in total. Not only that, several other beasts that Victor had consumed throughout his existence began to appear, including them.

Sounds of horse neighing were heard, and four Beings emerged from The Sea of Blood.

"... Even The Horsemen of The Apocalypse..." Scathach began to laugh even more.

"Bloody Emperor." Like an Emperor, a Castle of Crystallized Blood began to be created. The Castle was gigantic and equipped with various dead bodies on the walls and siege weapons; this was clearly a fortress castle.

Victor floated towards the Palace and sat on the Throne overlooking the entire battlefield, and he began to speak with a voice heard throughout The Underworld.

"My enemies will fall, but they will remain with me forever. The sweet embrace of Death is denied to them; only eternal servitude in my Immortal Army remains."

"Rejoice, Gods." He smiled broadly.

"You have drawn the attention of The Horsemen of The Apocalypse and my Immortal Army... And they want your Blood!"

"HAHAHAHAHAH!"

Behind The Horsemen, Demonic Creatures began to appear, each with different forms and sizes, but each seemed like Beings that emerged from The Depths of Hell... And they weren't just ordinary Demons.

Even the Demonic Pillars that Victor had consumed were here.

Looking at those thousands of creatures coming from The Depths of Hell, a sense of pure terror began to take over the existence of everyone. What had they provoked!?

"All Hail The Demon King! All Hail Alucard!" War, stood in front of The Horsemen, shouted.

"AOO, AOO, AOO!" The Demons screamed as they stamped their feet, creating ripples that shook the entire Underworld.

The ominous chant repeated several times like a distorted Symphony of Death.

"D-Demon King! How about we talk!?" Helios shouted.

"You said it yourself, Helios. If I'm in front of you, then all that remains is annihilation..."

Helios's face darkened completely, and it got even worse when a massive Gorilla began to rise from The Sea of Blood. Unlike the others, this Being seemed very much alive in their eyes.

The Gorilla pounded its chest and roared at the Gods.

ROAAARRR!

"You dared to desire my Wife in front of me..." Victor's eyes were like two violet black holes that completely frightened the Souls of all those present.

"Therefore, it is only logical that from today on, The Greek Pantheon ceases to exist."

"My Horsemen!" Victor's Negative Energy exploded, spreading throughout the blood field and the bodies of the dead.

"Let there be Carnage."

"OHHHHHH!"
