Vampire: World of Blood-Chapter 160: Free At Last II

[Kins of the Last True vampires has been detected, now adding to the Qliphoth network.]

It was Carmilla who accessed the neural pathways of the servants, weaving through their minds with the natural ability to manipulate them on a fundamental level.

Using her powers, she induced a controlled schizophrenia-like effect, allowing the servants to perceive the system notification as if it were a direct reality imprinted into their thoughts.

It wasn’t chaotic or invasive, but precise, like the quiet turn of a key in a lock.

[You have been added to the Qliphoth Network.]

The message appeared in their minds, simple yet profound. Though brief, its impact was undeniable—an acknowledgment of their new existence within the vast and evolving network.

As Carmilla added their conceptual data to Merciless’s vampirism, a subtle shift rippled through the veiled conceptual plane.

Seven new flesh-like fruits materialized on the Tree within the Qliphoth Network, pulsating softly, each one representing a newly integrated conscious existence. These fruits, raw and alien, grew from the roots of Merciless’s vampiric essence, marking the servants’ permanent connection to his evolving power.

Carmilla withdrew from their minds, her voice calm yet firm as she turned to Merciless.

"The integration is complete. Their conceptual essence is now part of your vampirism."

Merciless’s eyes flickered with understanding, his mind connecting to the fruits hanging from the conceptual Tree. They pulsed in rhythm with his own energy, growing stronger as they anchored deeper into the network.

Though the servants retained remnants of their old selves, those fragments were slowly dissolving into the collective as well, meaning they are like a H.I.V.E mind, a proper hive mind, of course, if he made them have the ability to discuss with one another but that was meaningless for now network was young, as such he added them subtly, just giving them a spot within the network, for him it was different he could feel and see everything they feel.

He was looking at them and at himself through their eyes, their thoughts became clear their emotions, and devotion.

The Qliphoth Network was still young, its structure fragile but expanding. Over time, these fruits—manifestations of his servants—would mature, their link to his vampiric essence becoming absolute, blurring the lines between individual identity and the greater whole.

But as he was pondering to himself, Carmilla began to reveal something ot him he was not expecting.

"Oh yeah, boss I forgot to mention."

She said.

"You could redefine this concept entirely. Vampirism, while potent, may no longer encapsulate what you are becoming. If you reshape it now, you could guide this evolution into something beyond the limitations of vampires.... remember your concept is singular so I would suggest while it is still young, rename the concept, and the more people added to the could cement it to a more unique state."

Her words hovered in the air, a suggestion of transformation. The fruits on the Tree swayed gently, awaiting the form that Merciless might envision, ready to grow into whatever new destiny he would cultivate.

"Wait really I could do that."

He asked surprised by this revelation to which Carmilla began to explain.

"Well it is a singular concept and it is still young to boot so yeah that is indeed possible."

Carmilla mentions to which Merciless replies, so I just need to rename the concept.

"Well, it would be better, if the word itself is a word that no one has heard about and does not exist."

"I see... easier said than done though."

Merciless commented, and rightfully so.

But it was what Carmilla said next that caught his attention.

"Hmmm, in that case, I propose we solidify this unique concept through a more refined method—by utilizing a specific type of spawnling entity, the S35 designation. These instances possess capabilities that deviate from typical conceptual frameworks, making them both incredibly dangerous and powerful. Their abilities operate on an advanced level of conceptualization far beyond conventional norms, which could greatly enhance the uniqueness we’re aiming for within your vampirism."

Merciless immediately responded to Carmilla’s suggestion, his tone reflecting a mix of intrigue and surprise. The unexpected nature of her proposal clearly caught his attention.

"Wait...

He said; pausing briefly as he continued.

"There is really a spawnling that can do that?!"

The question was brief, but he was surprised there was a way to establish further uniqueness even more so than the current.

Naturally, Carmilla answered.

"Indeed, although they are called Name Eaters, originating from the Primix Dimension. These beings have the unique ability to create a single new name or concept in their lifetime, weaponizing these unknown concepts to their advantage as a racial trait of their species. Like vampires, they trace their lineage back to the 9th lineage which is the Unknown. If you manage to kill and consume one, you gain the power to bring a non-existent concept into reality, permanently cementing its existence... I would suggest that if you want to make your vampirism more unique go and kill one."

Said Carmilla, to which Merciless nodded his head, as he responded back as such.

"Well then, after I kill the queen... I guess we are going to go hunting for a name Eater... although what generation of spawnlings are they typically?"

Merciless asked and Carmilla responded.

"6th generation like vampires, so you can guess how powerful they are."

When these words were said, Merciless flinched a bit as he said with a calm and deadpan face.

"Nothing is easy is it."

Carmilla replied once more.

"If one wants power they have to go to great lengths to get it... but the good news is this, your examination target, near the base of Enkidu chambers, you can find some Name eaters there as they have small nests in that area, although it’s very dangerous."

"Wait as dangerous as the non-euclidean?!"

Merciless asked, clearly worried to which Carmilla reassured him.

"Nope... of course not, that was a fucked situation no matter how you look at it."

"Pwfeee...

Merciless said as he felt the weight of ten planets falling off his shoulders when he heard that reassurance.

But at that moment his focus fixed on Ana as he said.

"We will talk more about thi later Carmilla... the time for action is now."

"Sure.. so that the kid with the strongest energy type on the spectrum of all other types, a pure aether wielder."

She said to Merciless who just nodded.

"Yeah, that is her... a beauty isn’t she?"

When Carmilla looked at her she knew what she was species-wise but couldn’t believe it.

"To think a mere high orc would have that kind of power, what an exotic little thing she is."

"Well, I do have talent in making exotic things hehehe."

"But It’s about time to start breaking the energy wall."

Merciless approached Ana, who stood still, her eyes reflecting an obsessive, almost worshipful love as she gazed up at her master. The intensity of her emotions was palpable, but her focus remained sharp.

"The time I gave you to accumulate the energy needed."

Merciless said, his voice calm yet commanding.

"Have you trained for this moment? Are you ready?"

Ana nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, Master. I’ve gathered enough power, but for this to work, I need to take my Aether Core inside that massive energy wall and detonate it from within. Only then will the collision of my immense energy be able to break through although I have never tried it at a scale where multiple galactic clusters can be wiped out in instance if I am not careful."

Her voice was steady, filled with determination, but with a tint of worry questioning her shoer training period for this one moment.

Merciless nodded in acknowledgment. The energy wall, constructed from countless layers of different energy types fused together, had stood as a near-impenetrable barrier for eons most likely if he had to guess, or maybe less or more.

But Ana, with her deep understanding of Aether’s manipulation, was the key to breaching it. The Aether within her was unlike anything else for sure.

"Well then Ana I leave it to you. Don’t fail me now, do this perfectly and I will reward you later."

"Wait really she said with a blush face and excitement, as she recalled Substance’s description."

"Of course, of course, now go forth and do your thing."

With that, Ana nodded her head as she stepped forward.

Her motivation skyrocketed.

Everyone at this moment took a step back as Ana walked with immense arrogance in front of the glowing energy wall in the giant cavern.

"Well it is now or never I guess."

She said as she took a deep breath concentrating her power into her core.

The air crackled as Ana began to focus, the Aether Core within her chest glowing brighter. The ground beneath her trembled slightly as she gathered the immense energy required for the task ahead into one singular spot.

Merciless watched, his gaze unwavering, as the blue glow around Ana intensified, enveloping her entire body in a radiant aura. The sheer power radiating from her was almost overwhelming, like a star on the verge of collapse.

As the energy surged, the space around her distorted, warping reality itself as the very fabric of existence bent under pressure.

Ana’s eyes remained locked on the towering energy wall in front of her.

"When I detonate the core from the inside, the energy of countless galaxies will implode, creating a rip large enough to shatter the barrier. There will be no going back once I begin."

Merciless’s expression didn’t change, but there was an unspoken understanding between them. This was the moment they had prepared for, and Ana was ready to give everything to make it happen.

"Do it!"

He commanded.

With a deep breath, Ana took her first step forward. The blue energy around her flickered, then flared like wildfire as she approached the energy wall. Each step she took left traces of electric-blue light in the air, searing the space around her with the raw intensity of the Aether Core.

The wall loomed ahead, an impenetrable fortress of power, but Ana’s resolve was unwavering.

As she reached the base of the wall, she closed her eyes, feeling the currents of energy flowing around her, searching for the weakest point. Her Aether Core hummed in sync with the fluctuating energies, a high-pitched vibration that intensified with each passing second.

Then, in one swift motion, she plunged herself into the wall. This was something only she could do of course, and in this state nonetheless.

The impact was immediate and violent. Energy crackled around her, a storm of chaotic forces trying to repel her intrusion, but Ana’s Aether shield held firm.

Blue tendrils of energy spread out from her core, fusing with the surrounding energies of the barrier. The conflicting forces battled against each other, the barrier’s resistance meeting the overwhelming surge of Ana’s Aether.

Inside the barrier, Ana’s body was a conduit for raw power. She felt the immense pressure of the energies surrounding her, threatening to crush her, but she held steady. She could feel the different layers of the barrier, each made from a different form of energy—cosmic, ethereal, elemental—fused together over time, creating an intricate defense system.

"This is it."

She whispered to herself, the Aether Core within her glowing brighter than ever.

"I have to break it from within."

With one final surge of power, Ana activated the detonation sequence. Her entire being became a vessel for the Aether, the blue energy coiling around her like a serpent before exploding outward in a massive burst.

The shockwave tore through the barrier, ripping apart the tightly woven layers of energy as if they were nothing more than fabric.

The sky of energy above, below, and to sides, ahead and behind itself seemed to split open as the energy wall shattered, the implosion of galaxies within creating a cataclysmic event.

Blue lightning crackled through the air, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still as the barrier’s defenses collapsed under immense pressure.

Then, with a deafening roar, the wall fractured, and a massive hole appeared. The space where the barrier once stood now flickered with unstable energy, remnants of the explosion dancing in the air like embers from a dying fire.

Ana flew out of the barrier but her core remained, as she crashed back into Merciless hands and fell to her knees, her body trembling from the exertion. The Aether Core within her was dim, nearly extinguished, but she had done it. She had broken the barrier.

As a vortex or rather a giant hole opened up, at that moment, Merciless grabbed Ana and commanded the other to follow him as the core held the immense energy in an omnidirectional manner making this hole start to close up, but by the end of it, everyone made it through.
