A Multiverse Journey: Beginning with the Supreme Sovereign

Yet she still feared the terrifying sight of tens of thousands of Familiars ravaging the earth.

Saigō completely understood now. Weren't Familiar Beast Warheads simply nuclear warheads?

One strike could destroy a city; one strike could wipe out a million lives. That was the power of Nuclear Weapons.

Once Familiars were released, they would continue attacking indiscriminately, roaming across the land until life could no longer survive on this planet.

Wasn't that effect simply nuclear radiation after a nuclear warhead exploded?

Why were True Vampire Familiars so powerful? Because a single attack from a True Vampire's Familiar was effectively the explosion of a nuclear warhead!

It was simply that such explosions did not necessarily manifest as high temperatures, high pressure, or shockwaves. Through the varied abilities of Familiars, they appeared in other forms.

For example, the Crimson Ice of the Demon Princess currently under Saigō's control was a Nuclear Weapon capable of freezing all things.

The reason this world's prehistoric civilization had been destroyed was that it had gone through a nuclear war!

Why did the Night Empires established by the three True Vampires possess veto power within the Sanctuary Treaty Nation? One had to know that the Sanctuary Treaty Nation encompassed nearly all of this world's powerful nations.

In terms of overall national strength, the three great Night Empires were not actually the strongest, nor were their conventional forces invincible.

But the reason the Night Empires held a higher status was that these three empires were the only nuclear powers. They possessed Nuclear Weapons!

The so-called Sanctuary Treaty had been built upon "nuclear peace."

Saigō had now completely sorted out the development of this world's civilization and history.

"Everyone had gone mad. Destruction had become the world's main theme."

"...Even those who remained rational had no way to end this war. The Familiars had already been released. The world was beyond saving."

"Even if the Celestial Tribe and humanity stopped launching Familiar Beast Warheads, the warheads already launched would be enough to wipe out all living beings."

"...In the midst of that despair, one man wanted to end the war, and he found a solution."

"He was Cain, the head of the Celestial Tribe's research division, who defied orders to study the 'forbidden.'"

Jada raised her head, her emerald eyes fixed upon Saigō as she said each word carefully, "...Even though the Celestial Tribe developed weapons capable of destroying the world and launched them."

"...There was one taboo that even the Celestial Tribe dared not touch: this world's 'rules,' the 'Heavenly Principles' that allowed the world to function!"

"But Cain violated the regulations. He touched the Heavenly Principles and invented the great secret art of Heavenly Principles Distortion."

"...He truly deserved to be called the most brilliantly intelligent researcher in Celestial Tribe history!"

Grant Me True Death ### "Great Calamity!"

Saigō spoke slowly.

His fingers rubbed the wineglass as he gently swirled the wine within, red as crystal.

"Yes, Great Calamity... It seems you have gained a sufficient understanding of this world as well, Mr. Zarathustra."

Jada lowered her legs and leaned back against her chair, her eyes half-closed as she said, "...Cain developed an art such as Great Calamity, one capable of distorting the Heavenly Principles."

"...And Great Calamity was precisely the origin of our birth as True Vampires."

"During that war that swept across the world, Cain found a way to resolve that hopeless future."

"He used the power of Great Calamity to alter the Celestial Tribe, perfecting the physical flaws of the Celestial Tribe, who could not survive without human blood and feared sunlight."

"...Furthermore, under the power of Great Calamity, the altered Celestial Tribe gained the ability to seal Familiars within their bodies. That was how the three of us became True Vampires!"

Jada rose to her feet, then moved gracefully to Saigō's side. She raised her wineglass and lightly clinked it against his before sitting on his lap.

Saigō wrapped an arm around her slender, delicate waist and listened as she continued.

"Cain did not use the power of Holy Annihilation to alter every member of the Celestial Tribe. He had long been dissatisfied with what the Celestial Tribe had done."

"...He clearly knew that if he did so, the Celestial Tribe would eventually enslave every race once more, and one day in the future, such a war would happen again."

"So he chose three people. One was Kii, who shared his ideals and was leading the Celestial Tribe's war against the rebels at the time."

"...The second was his friend and subordinate, Aswardgull, who knew of his research but did not report it. The last was me, a royal princess with whom he had a close relationship."

"As the Celestial Tribe's chief researcher, Cain held a high position and met with me often. I had also been influenced by his ideas since childhood."

"...At the most critical point of the war, every member of the royal family joined the fighting, while Cain, as a researcher, became the acting administrator of the Celestial Tribe's royal capital."

"That gave him the opportunity to unleash Holy Annihilation. Such a powerful art required an immense amount of preparation, and the royal territory happened to possess every resource he needed."

One of Jada's soft arms rested around Saigō's neck. She propped her pointed chin against the back of her hand and breathed softly as she said:

"...He sealed the strongest Familiars inside the bodies of the three of us, preventing them from continuing their destruction."

"He also believed we would fulfill our mission, using the passage of long years to wear down the Familiars' existence until they were no longer dangerous."

Saigō's heart stirred at that. "...Since Familiars cannot truly be destroyed, yet you say Cain found a way to completely eliminate the threat they posed."

"...Could that method have been reproduction?"

With Saigō's intelligence, he immediately spotted the issue.

Since the three True Vampires existed as vessels for sealing Familiars, there was no need for them to expand their own clans.

Then there were the later generations of vampires, who also possessed Familiars. Where had those Familiars come from? And why did the Familiars of vampires become weaker the further their bloodlines continued?

The only explanation was that as the vampire population expanded, the Familiars became weaker!

Jada smiled sweetly. "...That's right, reproduction! When True Vampires found Blood Companions and gave birth to the first generation of vampires, the Familiars' power would split apart."

"...As long as the descendant vampires continued reproducing, the Familiars' power would continue to disperse."

"Even if the number of Familiars multiplied exponentially, the power of each individual Familiar would grow weaker and weaker, until they no longer posed a threat."

"...Just like now. Most vampires are not particularly strong. At the very least, they are utterly incapable of resisting a nation's armed forces."

"Kii found seventy-two Blood Companions, while Aswardgull had no qualms about men or women. Between the two of them, they produced enough descendants."

"...But I was different. No matter what, I was once a princess of the Celestial Tribe's royal family. I was unwilling to casually bear children with different men."

"So I used another vampire method of inheritance: injecting my own flesh and blood into the bodies of other species, turning them into vampires."

"...That is also one reason why outsiders are forbidden from entering my Chaos Territory. Every descendant I sought was female."

"The entire population of Chaos Territory has no men at all. Thus, although all our descendants are vampires, the descendants of the three of us became different races."

Jada had broken free from the terror of her memories and once more became casual and languid.

The moment Saigō heard Jada's words, he grew excited. Chaos Territory was practically a man's dreamland.

An entire nation filled with beautiful female vampires was simply the ultimate pleasure for men.

Well, of course, one might also be sucked dry. After all, the urge to drink blood was sexual desire.

"The Celestial Tribe had intended to abandon this planet and flee, but Cain used his position at the time to mobilize every resource the Celestial Tribe had prepared for escaping this planet and activate Holy Annihilation."

"...The result was that the Familiars vanished from the earth, while the Celestial Tribe and humanity returned to conventional warfare..."

"Although both the Celestial Tribe and humanity had suffered devastating losses by then, the difference in population became apparent. In the end, the Celestial Tribe lost that war and withdrew from history from then on."

"...Cain's actions were no different from betraying the Celestial Tribe and his own race. He became an exiled sinner."

"Cain had initially intended to directly use the power of Holy Annihilation to eliminate the Familiars, but there were too many Familiars ravaging the earth at the time, and Holy Annihilation was not so easy to control. He did not succeed."

"...That was why he settled for sealing them instead."

Jada wrapped a tender arm around Saigō's neck, her gaze flickering as she said, "...I do not care whether you, this demon, come from another planet or some other space or world."

"...You have piqued my interest now, and I know you are investigating and searching for the power of Holy Annihilation."

"I have preserved a great deal of information on Holy Annihilation here. I can give all of it to you."

"...No matter what you do next, I am willing to stand by your side. Even if it means going to war with the other two True Vampires, I will become their enemy for you."

"I only hope you will agree to one thing!"

Jada brought her cherry lips close to Saigō's ear, breathing softly as she whispered intimately.

"What is it?"

Saigō remained impassive as he asked calmly.

"Since the Familiars back then were too powerful and too numerous for Holy Annihilation to eliminate them, then if Holy Annihilation were activated once again now, solely to eliminate the Familiars sealed within me, it should be possible."

"...I am a coward. I do not possess Kii's and Aswardgull's resolve and strength."

"After all, I was once merely a pampered royal princess, while one of them was a general who fought on the battlefield and the other was a researcher of unwavering will."

"...The Familiars' power granted me an almost infinite lifespan, but ten thousand years of time have tortured me to the point of madness."

"Yet this coward still has her final dignity. I promised Cain that I would not release the Familiars sealed inside my body, and I promised myself I would never lay my hands upon 'Holy Annihilation.'"

"...So I can only ask you. After you obtain the power of Holy Annihilation, use it to grant me True Death and free me from this painful fate and madness."

Jada opened her lips and bit down hard on Saigō's shoulder. Yet she did not drink his blood, merely murmuring, "...For that, I can give you everything I have."

For someone seeking death, there was nothing left she could not abandon, save for that dignity and those promises.

All Deeds Are Sins! ### "As expected, male creatures since ancient times, whether humans or demons, have all been disgusting perverts."

Jada emerged from the lavishly decorated room, her steps unsteady and somewhat strange, her tone carrying a trace of helplessness.

A closer look revealed that Jada seemed to be walking on tiptoe, unwilling to let the soles of her feet touch the white high heels beneath them.

"Lady Jada!"

The two voluptuous female vampires Saigō had seen earlier stood not far outside the room. Upon seeing the Third True Ancestor, they quickly bowed in greeting.

Ten thousand years ago, Jada had been a royal princess. Compared to the First True Ancestor and the Second True Ancestor, she had been more like a pampered Miss.

But after becoming a True Vampire, she had completely changed her habits and conduct.

The descendants of the three great True Vampires each possessed their own traits and characteristics. In Saigō's eyes, the path Jada had chosen resembled that of a druid.

Wild and powerful in close combat, while also capable of unleashing large-scale attacks similar to a mage's.

Her vampire descendants were much the same. Their Familiars were almost all possession types, making them entirely like groups of "leopard women."

"Send him the Vessels of the Night Lord of Blazing Light."

Jada waved her hand. One delicate foot unconsciously stepped onto the high heel, and her dark brows furrowed slightly, her expression betraying considerable discomfort.

But to prevent her subordinates from noticing anything wrong, Jada maintained a calm expression.

"Yes, Lady Jada!"

The two female vampires responded. Though they sensed that Jada seemed somewhat strange, since the True Vampire did not say anything, they naturally did not dare ask further.

Having received Jada's order, the two took their leave and went to bring Aurora and the others to Saigō.

Once her subordinates had left, Jada could finally no longer maintain her expression. She hurried several steps toward her bedroom and headed straight for the bath.

Although this was a Spirit Furnace-powered submarine traveling through the deep sea,

as the Third True Ancestor's personal vessel, aside from its advanced magitech, its interior was also extravagantly furnished.

Yet no matter how luxurious it was, basic constraints still had to be observed. Jada could not construct a massive Roman bath here.

Even so, building a bath inside a war submarine was already excessive.

Jada came to the edge of the bath and sat down. Warm water was constantly supplied here. She swiftly kicked off her white high heels, lifted the hem of her long dress, and soaked her jade-like feet in the water.

The Third True Ancestor bent her soft, slender waist and vigorously scrubbed both feet with her little hands. Only after washing them clean did she finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

When she turned back and saw the sticky mess coating the soles of her high heels, she worried for a moment more.

She could not keep those shoes, but it would not do to simply throw them away either. If her subordinates found them, that would be troublesome. The smell still lingered on them.

The vampires among her Familiar servants had noses keener than dogs.

Moreover, the shoes obviously belonged to Jada. Anyone could guess what had happened in that reception room earlier.

Even if her subordinates would never mention it in front of her after learning the truth, she, the Chaos Princess, still cared about her dignity.

"Tch, that demon! Although I had long known that demon would not let me off so easily, now that it has truly happened, I am still rather annoyed."
