The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion-Chapter 170: Breaking The Vampires - 4

[The blood of the Night King you have devoured has been purified.]

[The will of the blood of the Night King has been synthesized and separated as a separate entity and stored inside your spiritual space.]

[The unique essence of the Vampire Progenitor has been erased from the blood of the Night King, isolating the Pure Essence of the Progenitor intact.]

[155,725,669 souls of the vampires that the blood of the Night King devoured have been synthesized and stored in your spiritual space.]

[The bloodline abilities of all the noble vampires devoured by the blood of the Night King have been synthesized and added to your spiritual library.]

[Beginning the assimilation process...]

[Your race [Noble Vampire] is being assimilated with the purified essence of the blood of the Night King.]

[Your race [Noble Vampire] is being transitioned.]

[Entering the state of evolution...]

[You are being put under the state of death...]

It has been three hours since Damian entered the state where he is literally dead.

What was happening to him was quite peculiar.

It was somewhat similar to the situation when a noble vampire turns a human into a plebeian vampire.

When the noble vampires, in their pursuit of reversing the extinction of their race, had created a hobby of turning humans into plebeian vampires, because humans are the most highly populated and weakest race in the universe, they would perform a ritual they called the Vampire Transitioning Ritual.

The process of the ritual involves the noble vampires giving a piece of their racial essence in the form of blood to the human, mostly through consumption.

Once the blood of the noble vampire is inside the human's body, the human is killed on the spot.

This activates the state of evolution.

If the human comes back to life, it means that the evolution is complete.

Upon returning to life, the human is no longer human, they have turned into a vampire, a plebeian vampire, and the injury that killed them will have healed completely.

Now the same thing was happening to Damian, except no vampire gave him their essence.

He devoured it himself.

And not just any essence, the essence contained within the blood of the Night King, the blood of the Vampire Progenitor.

Here's the thing: noble vampires can create plebeian vampires, and the Vampire Progenitor can create noble vampires through the ritual.

But Damian was already a noble vampire when he started to evolve, and he was using the essence he devoured from the blood of the Night King, the blood of the Vampire Progenitor, to evolve.

So… what was he evolving into?

The dead state Damian was in suddenly began to reverse as his incredibly powerful aura and presence returned, even more monstrous than before.

A thick blood-red aura started to seep out of him and spread in every direction.

Every biological activity within his physical body started to become active again, as if they had regained the vitality they lost.

His blood circulation, already many times stronger than even high humans, returned even stronger.

Then his consciousness slowly began to return.

Finally, his stone-cold heart started to regain its warmth before beating once again with many times more vigor and vitality.

[The assimilation of the essence of the blood of the Night King is complete.]

Damian's eyes burst open as the aura concentrating around his being exploded, releasing rapid waves of intense energy like shockwaves, making every single vampire feel a sudden urge of submission come over them.

Damian's presence started to shift. His appearance was changing.

But so was part of the core of his being, well, one of his beings.

Damian wasn't just a human progenitor.

He was also a noble vampire, a high fallen angel, a high demon, a high incubus, all at the same time. His core being wasn't fixed like others.

In fact, Damian didn't even know his true core being.

And right now, the noble vampire part of his being was transforming into something else, something superior, something more special and more powerful.

[Your Spiritual Library is being updated...]

[Your race [Noble Vampire] is evolving...]

Then suddenly something even more incredible started to happen.

The thick, fog-like blood-red aura surrounding him started to move as if it had a mind of its own.

It didn't seem like aura anymore, it was as if it was his monstrous blood coming out of his body and taking form.

Then, thousands upon thousands of pairs of eyes suddenly opened behind his figure, as if watching over him with their gaze.

And with every millisecond, more and more eyes appeared, making his appearance resemble something that had crawled out from the deepest parts of the abyss.

"Maybe it's time I start introducing the important people in his life, little by little," Eden said, rubbing her chin.

"Didn't you already let Thea talk with him and even make him the ruler of the world she presides over?" Raiya asked, her tone carrying an accusatory edge toward the system administrator.

"Well, I wanted the spirits in her world to teach him their ways. Him meeting her was unavoidable," Eden replied.

"Hmm... are you going to let everyone in the family make contact with him now?" Raiya asked.

"Yes... but one or two at a time. I don't want to overwhelm him. I'm still thinking about keeping the family's relationship with him a secret, though I feel like he might figure it out himself," Eden said, pursing her lips, thousands of possibilities flashing through her mind.

"What do you mean?" Raiya asked.

"He's a progenitor, and he has the memories of millions of beings in him. Who knows what he might find in those memories? His soul is rapidly growing stronger by the minute… He might already be starting to remember the memories of his past lives," Eden sighed.

"Also... there's something else he might need my help with, but I have no experience in that particular subject. That's why I changed my plans and decided to let the Werewolf Goddess and the Vampire Goddess interact with him first."

"What problem... wait... that? How is that a problem for him?" Raiya asked, frowning.

"He is naturally a being strongly associated with creation and destruction. His need for procreation is the strongest. And with the evolution... I've gone through all the details of all of his lives before this one, and I can say for sure, his need to procreate now is the strongest it's ever been. In fact, it has already surpassed the intensity he felt in any of his past lives..." Eden explained.

"I honestly thought he would lose control and jump on those women around him, but his self-control is extremely powerful. However, after becoming a Human Progenitor, his need to procreate has grown by leaps and bounds, and now it lies on a thin thread that could break at any moment."

Eden's face turned redder and redder the more she thought about it.

Damian and the concept of him procreating was a very sensitive subject for her.

She loved him too much.

But she also knew she couldn't control him in this, because it was something he must do for the sake of his world.

It's not just the creation and birth of more and more beings that influence the karma of the universe, but the very process of creation itself has a major influence on karma, especially when it's Damian.

Damian's true nature was known to none except the 'Family' members.

But it was obvious, he was an entity that greatly influences the karma of the universe.

So him doing the deed was something important, and Eden could not intervene, even though she could, and desperately wanted to, for personal, selfish reasons, of course.

Eden herself knew that no matter how much she wanted to prevent Damian from procreating with others, she couldn't interfere.

As someone who operated objectively, with a cold demeanor, caring about nothing but the universe's balance and growth, she would never let emotions cloud her judgment.

She might give some exceptions when it came to her 'Family', but even for them, she wouldn't do too much.

But when it came to Damian, she was the complete opposite.

She would forget about her duty as if it never existed.

She would even let her 'Family' die for his sake.

She wouldn't care about anyone else.

Right now, her job itself was making sure that her most beloved being grows as much as possible, with the utmost efficiency and effectiveness.

And Damian's need to procreate was something that could become a hindrance to his growth, because holding back too much might put him under pressure, or cause him to lose control, affecting his pursuit of power.

"I know it hurts you, to watch him all the time but not be able to touch him, not be caressed by him," Raiya said softly, feeling sympathy. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Though they argued often, they were all from the same 'Family.'

It wasn't just Eden, everyone in the 'Family' was deeply saddened that they couldn't be with him.

Especially Eden, who shared an immense soul level connection with him.

"It doesn't..." Eden replied expressionlessly.

"It's alright. I understand. You know I'm the same as you. I miss being with him just like my sisters," Raiya said gently.

"...Anyway, he needs women. A lot of women, and preferably strong ones to satisfy him. That's why I'm going to let Amelia and Lenora meet him," Eden said, glancing at a group of gods and goddesses standing not far away.

Eden had actually masked them from hearing the conversation once it got too personal.

She didn't want them learning anything crucial about the dynamics surrounding Damian.

Eden looked at some of the goddesses, particularly the Vanir goddess Freya, the Egyptian goddess Hathor/Sekhmet, the Greek goddess Nike, and the Greek goddess Tyche, and then a grin formed on her face as an idea prompted in her mind before she turned her attention back to Damian.
