For the evil god Iä!, devouring Adele and obtaining everything about her was undoubtedly her greatest desire. But as Victoria said, she, with her gluttonous nature, couldn’t refuse the sacrifice of a legendary mage, nor could she resist the temptation to dissect and devour the vast knowledge accumulated over a True Ancestor’s long life. After all, Iä! was an evil god from another world. After devouring all the knowledge in that world, she wandered lonely in the endless apocalypse. Until she connected with the mind of a Vampire True Ancestor from another world.

Iä! eagerly made a contract with him, becoming his familiar. Finally, after a series of schemes, and of course, also due to the True Ancestor’s own reasons and his hatred for the magical world, Iä! convinced him, promising that if he was willing to sacrifice himself and allow her to descend upon this world, this space, she would destroy the entire magical world as promised.

Thus, the True Ancestor sacrificed himself in exchange for Iä!’s arrival. Her power was truly incredible, completely beyond common sense, unmatched by any magic. The entire magical world was plunged into its darkest day. The Grand Magic Library became Iä!’s first target, completely destroyed. She madly dissected books, extracting the knowledge within, and began to evolve. But like a python that eagerly swallowed prey larger than itself, she only became bloated, unable to escape when facing enemies. Iä! fell into the same predicament. Otherwise, she should have hidden after the successful attack to digest the magical knowledge of this world, then emerged and used this magic to cause further disasters, continuously learning, dissecting, and evolving. One day, she might be able to devour all the knowledge in this world, becoming a true World Serpent, the great serpent encircling the world tree, becoming a supreme god.

But unfortunately, time wouldn’t rewind. Iä! ultimately didn’t make the right choice. Instead, the magical world united and fought desperately, finally killing Iä!’s physical form at the cost of great casualties. The ruins of the Grand Magic Library also became a terrifying space-time turbulence due to this great battle. Anyone who entered risked being eternally lost.

Victoria, at the forefront of the fight against the evil god, was trapped inside, her fate uncertain. But Victoria wasn’t willing to die just like that. Her deep obsession was touching. But this was exploited by Iä!. Using her last bit of strength, Iä! attached her spirit to Victoria’s soul, merging with it.

And you already know the rest of the story. To resist True Ancestor Ron, knowing that she could no longer stop Iä!’s erosion, Victoria chose to sacrifice everything to her, making a contract and letting her take over this body. Iä! didn’t want to be instantly destroyed by True Ancestor Ron’s elemental power the moment she took over Victoria’s body. So, half-forced, she could only agree, obtaining all of Victoria’s power. This level of contract, if broken, would even cause an unspeakable backlash for an evil god. So she could only treat True Ancestor Ron before her as a mortal enemy and protect Adele behind her, absolutely unable to harm her.

It was unknown whether this would become Iä!’s biggest regret in the future. At least for now, she once again understood everything, feeling an unprecedented sense of comfort and joy. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

“This world is amazing!”

“Victoria,” or rather, Iä!, while extending countless tentacles to resist True Ancestor Ron’s attack, began to express her excitement. Perhaps she was a chatterbox, or perhaps it was because the feeling of regaining freedom after being imprisoned for thousands of years was too wonderful, that made her so elated, adding a touch of humor to this apocalyptic scene.

“Just a short thousand years have passed, and humans have developed such prosperity.”

“That food, culture, technology, weapons...ah, I’m starting to think, should I eat my fill all at once, or...”

“Should I just...keep you all as livestock!?”

“La-la-la~.” She hummed a strange tune in Victoria’s form, then suddenly turned from joy to anger, roaring at True Ancestor Ron, “I hate rain! It makes my tentacles sticky and wet!”

“You’re much weaker than your brother!” Iä! commented arrogantly. She was indeed qualified to compare and judge. After all...Ron’s brother, another familiar-type True Ancestor, had long been devoured by Iä!, chewed up inch by inch, from skin to bone, from memory to emotion, eternally merging with her. So Iä!, understanding everything, was naturally qualified to judge.

But her current state was slightly different from Victoria’s. It wasn’t that Iä! devoured Victoria, but that Iä! became “Victoria.” It sounded confusing, but in short, Iä!, having lost her physical body, only had her spirit left. And now, she used her spirit to occupy Victoria’s body, while Victoria’s spirit fell into slumber. So...this phenomenon should be called “possession”!

That’s right, possession.

True Ancestor Ron’s scarlet eyes beneath his black robes showed no emotion. Undeniably, Iä! was right. His current state wasn’t his strongest. All this was thanks to his failed ascension last time. Having suffered a backlash, his power was probably only at sixty or seventy percent of his # Nоvеlight # peak level. But even at sixty or seventy percent, according to Ron’s original plan, it should have been enough to deal with Adele and the others. As for all the visitors in the amusement park, they were the “majority” he held hostage. He understood the humans’ style. They wouldn’t sacrifice everyone in the amusement park for just one Adele. So the humans’ power was dispersed, other strong individuals couldn’t arrive in time, and he could quickly take Adele and the little girl in her arms away.

Ron was even more certain that there must be a secret to a second life hidden within them. He just didn’t expect Victoria to appear halfway. Or rather, not only did he have patience, but Victoria’s patience was also astonishing, a true “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind,” situation. This idiom refers to a situation where one party tries to gain an advantage, but another party is secretly waiting to take advantage of them.

But if it was just Victoria alone, Ron could handle it. He did shatter Victoria’s magic shield. Without protection, Victoria would be torn to shreds by his elemental power, and Adele would fall into his hands. But who would have thought that such a sudden change would occur? Victoria actually chose to sacrifice herself, willingly being possessed by the otherworldly evil god Iä!, using a contract to make her his enemy. Now, things were troublesome.

Clearly, Ron knew something about the evil god Iä!. After all, she was the familiar contracted by a True Ancestor in the past. If it were her, she would indeed be more difficult to deal with than Victoria. If possible, Ron really didn’t want to be forced to use his last resort. But now...there was no other way. So he had to act quickly, eliminate Iä! before the human and vampire reinforcements arrived, and then take Adele and that little girl away. As long as he could live a second life and escape the fear of death, Ron was willing to sacrifice anything.

The next moment, Ron suddenly took out a withered bone from his arms. An unknown magic power lifted it into the air, and it emitted an exceptionally vast and powerful force, merging with Ron’s body.

At that moment, Iä! instantly lost her previous arrogance and composure, becoming terrified. If she were at her peak, she probably wouldn’t be afraid of True Ancestor Ron. But in this situation... If Victoria, under her interference, could only exert eighty percent of her power, then Iä!, having received Victoria’s sacrificed body and spirit, could exert one hundred and twenty percent. The difference was almost half, so she was confident that she could defeat True Ancestor Ron. That’s why she spoke so arrogantly.

But why didn’t anyone tell her...that Ron had the remains of a demigod!? That’s right, that withered bone belonged to a former demigod.

At the same time, in the cabin at the highest point of the Ferris wheel, Dorothy’s tears suddenly flowed uncontrollably from her eyes, falling onto the floor. Adele’s heart skipped a beat, feeling the intense sadness emanating from Dorothy. At that moment, although Dorothy didn’t say anything, Adele realized something. This was an unacceptable reality for Dorothy, presented before her in its raw, bloody form. The bone in True Ancestor Ron’s hand came from the only True Ancestor in vampire history who successfully ascended and once ruled the entire Vampire Clan – Dorothy’s ancestor, the one known as the “Black Emperor”!

The veil of history was slightly lifted, revealing the darkness and blood behind it. True Ancestor Ron had always believed that the Black Emperor hadn’t died and would return one day. But he had a bone belonging to the Black Emperor in his hand. So what about the other True Ancestors? Did they know about this, or not? What exactly happened back then!? Could it be that there was more to the Black Emperor’s fall...?
