GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 986 I Giveth And Taketh Away.

Xigger began to cry. "Please. Please don't die. I don't want to lose you."

Ragnarok didn't say anything else. He can't anyway. His new red fur turned bloody as his skin cracked and bled. His body began to soften like rubber. Then his thick rubbery flesh began to liquefy. He was bleeding from everywhere including his skin, eyes, and mouth. It looks like he is melting into blood. It feels even worse than it looks because he is alive through it all.

"This boy is taking things too far. He is too stubborn." The demon god roared unwillingly.

It wanted to be calm about everything but it is the most agitated one here. It is even more agitated than Xigger and cares about Ragnarok more than Xigger. It wants Ragnarok to live and become its champion. All of its schemes and orchestrations have led to this moment but it will go to waste because of the stubbornness of one boy.

"I understand his resistance. He doesn't want to become an abomination like his father. He doesn't want to lose his way like I have lost my way." Xigger said through his tears. "I understand that he wants glory in death. I am willing to let him go."

The demon god yelled in his head. "Shut up you weakling. You're always crying like some loser. You are no use to me. I am taking things into my own hands."

Xigger was surprised by the outburst. He didn't think the demon god cared about his son at all.

"But he wants to die. I say we should just accept it and move..."

He felt pain in his heart the next moment. His dead unmoving heart suddenly constricted painfully.

"What are you doing?" Xigger exclaimed in panic and pain.

His chest shone brightly with a red light that seemed to be coming from within him. His torso became translucent so that the light was brighter. A round object could be seen in his chest. It is the source of light coming from within him. It is also his heart.

"You have outlived your use you stupid and ignorant creature. I don't need you anymore." The demon god told him.

Xigger dropped his doughy son to the ground. He clutched his chest as he fell to the ground too.

"But you promised me power. You can't take it from me. You mustn't."

The demon god sneered. "I promised and I gave you power. I gave it to you and I can take it away. I am God. There is nothing that can stop me from taking my power away and giving it to someone else that I deem fit for it." contemporary romance

To be precise, there is nothing in their contract that says that the demon god can't retrieve the power that he gave.

Then the demon god declared, "Hear me Xigger Reynfair, I hereby deem you unworthy and unfit for my power. It shall be henceforth taken from you. Take solace in the fact that your son shall inherit your power. May he do better with it than you did."

Xigger fell to the ground as a pool of blood. A red crystal rose from his liquified remains. The red crystal shone brightly. The red light that it produced could not be obscured by the thick snow for a long distance. Every vampire fell to their knees and bowed.

"Great Is The Supreme Of Carnage." They said in adoration and worship. "Let the Will of CARNAGE be done and Let CARNAGE descend to the earth."

The other vampires had gazes of fervent worship while Malekit looked at the red crystal with envy and greed. He wished he could run up and take it. But he can't. The power that comes from the heart of Carnage can only be bestowed not taken forcefully. So he had to watch on as the red crystal flew over to Ragnarok and sank into his chest.

An ancestral vampire will resurrect if killed by using the body of any fledgling in their lineage. There is a connection of the power of blood between the ancestor and every vampire in their lineage but fledglings are used as vessels for resurrection because fledglings have no right whatsoever in the hierarchy. Fledglings are at the bottom rung. Ragnarok is a fledgling now or partly fledgling and it was due to his father. This connection is used to transfer blood power between them. But now the demon god is using it to transfer the origin of blood power between father and son without breaking the Oath that it made with Xigger.

"Now live," CARNAGE said in anticipation.

Ragnarok's body ballooned in size with the introduction of the heart of Carnage. It was like he was inflated with a sudden gust of air. It was power and not air that invaded his body. He would have exploded if his body were not 100% compatible with Carnage.

Fortunately, his body has already been primed by the mark of Carnage so his body accepted it and began another round of changes. It is more like it resumed its breakthrough. But it took another path that was not originally available to him.

Vampires are like demons. They are descendants of a demon so it is normal for them to be similar to demons in several ways. They have a similar power system except that Vampires use the power of blood and blood energy instead of sin energy.

Vampires also have a mark on their souls that determines ranks and regulates their evolution just like demons do. One of the most important similarities between Vampires and demons is the separation of body and soul.

Demons have a separate soul and body which is their source of immortality as seen in demon kings. Ancestral vampires with the heart of Carnage also have this same system of immortality. Their souls will fuse with the heart of Carnage and gain immortality from it. In this way, the bulk of their power is maintained after death. The demon god wants to do the same thing to Ragnarok.
