Treacherous Currents!

Upon hearing this, Feren chuckled lightly, "To actually conjure up a duke before you die, I must say, as expected of you, Lilith."

"What a pity, I'm determined to Queens."

There are currently only five princes among the Blood Clan.

They each controlled a borough of New York, with Lilith controlling Queens.

Conflicts frequently erupt between the Blood Clan as they vie for territory.

This wasn't their first encounter; they had faced off several times before, but neither had gained the upper hand.

Until yesterday, Lilith was ambushed by Feren Bage, who exhausted her Blood Power, severed her hands and feet, and pierced her heart.

But Lilith's survival skills were unparalleled among the princes; she managed to drag her crippled body out of Feren's encirclement.

Just as Feren was about to give chase, his phone rang.

He instinctively wanted to hang up, but the caller was another prince.

Seeing this, Feren sighed deeply. "Hey, Zane, I'm busy right now. You'd better get to the point in three seconds!"

"Otherwise, once I'm done with this, I'll definitely crack open your skull and stuff it full of cheese and jam!"

A cold, male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Stop playing around, the enemy is coming."

Enemy?

Feren composed himself, his expression hardening. "Who? Nine-Tails or GOC?"

"Nine-Tails, Chaos, GOC, they've all come. Their target is the True Ancestor."

A glint flashed in Feren's blood-red eyes. "Alright... I guess I'll have to let Lilith live a little longer this way."

"How many people are here? Give me a seat."

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, as if confirming some information.

"There are only about a hundred people on the Nine-Tails' side, all of them are grunts."

"The GOC mobilized tens of thousands of people, but they were all observing from the outside. Among them, they brought an angel with them."

"As for Chaos, it's still uncertain."

"Angel?"

"I'll go and meet him," Feren said, and was about to set off.

You can't beat him.

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Feren fell into deep thought. "How strong is that angel? Do you have specific data?"

"He can drill a big hole in reinforced concrete and asphalt roads."

That's it?

"Can you do it?"

"Cannot."

"This matter requires further consideration. Since the True Ancestor has not yet shown up, we five princes must unite to fight against the foreign enemy."

Frustrated, Feren scratched his head. "Okay, okay, I got it. Where should we meet? Give me a location."

"Tonight, Manhattan, Empire State Building."

Night falls.

At the top of the Empire State Building, four figures descended from the sky.

One of the women looked around. "Where's Lilith?"

Upon hearing this, Feren chuckled lightly, "She's practically dead already, just ignore her."

A sinister-looking man walked up to the three of them; he was the one who had just called Feren.

His name is Zain Flink.

What are your thoughts on angels?

"What do you mean, a way to deal with angels?"

"To be honest, we've never even fought before, let alone know anything about our opponent's capabilities. What kind of strategy could we possibly come up with?"

"Indeed, how can you know you can't win if you haven't even tried?"

Zane shook his head upon hearing this, "With the destructive power of angels, even the four of us combined wouldn't be a match for him."

"So what do you want to say?"

Zane looked down at the street below the Empire State Building. "They're after the True Ancestors, not us."

"But if the True Ancestor is captured, then we will be next, or we may not even live to see that day."

"And those who participated in this battle include Nine-Tails, Chaos, and GOC, and their target is also the True Ancestor."

"Therefore, the core of this multi-party encirclement lies with the True Ancestor. As long as we can ensure that the True Ancestor is not captured by any force, then we will have won."

"But if we want to protect the True Ancestor amidst the struggle of various forces, our abilities are certainly not enough."

"So my suggestion is to muddy the waters and turn this multi-party encirclement into a multi-party melee."

"The relationship between Nine-Tails, Chaos, and GOC is more fragile than we imagined. In fact, if any one of them is involved, they will break into conflict first."

"We should take this opportunity to send out a large number of the Blood Clan to distract them and make this battle even more chaotic."

"On the other hand, we need to get the True Ancestor out of New York without anyone noticing, so that we can act without any scruples."

"Leave... where do you want the True Ancestor to retreat to?"

Zane looked into the distance. "Start from New York, head to Los Angeles, cross half of the North Pacific, go to Hawaii, and land at Pearl Harbor."

Hawaii?

"Flying from New York to Hawaii?"

"That's nearly 8,000 kilometers!"

"Even if we fly there non-stop, exhausting all our Blood Power, it will still take 50 hours!"

"If they took a domestic flight, they could fly from New York to Hawaii in thirteen hours!"

"Zane, why does it have to be Hawaii?"

"The focus is not on Hawaii, but on the North Pacific."

What's happening in the North Pacific?

"You may not know what lies beneath the sea, but I encountered a Fishman during my trip to Hawaii."

"He realized I wasn't human, so he reminded me that the King of the Deep Sea had already built his palace underwater, and now he wanted a piece of the surface."

"And that part of the land is Hawaii."

"The King of the Deep Sea?"

"You mean, join forces with those Fishman of unknown origin?"

"At least they won't side with humans."

"But they may not necessarily be on our side."

"Assuming your theory holds true, then what happens next?"

"We'll think about what comes next; let's get through this difficult time first."

On the other side, Li Heng carried Lilith out of the sewer, and then collapsed to the ground in a spread-eagle position.

"Ugh... I'm exhausted. I'm not that big, so why am I so heavy?"

Thump.

Lilith suddenly kicked Li Heng on the head. "Need I say more? Of course it's because you don't have much Blood Power in your body. Quick, grab someone over here so I can suck some blood."

Upon hearing this, Li Heng suddenly stood up and said righteously, "Let me make this clear beforehand, I have my own stance and bottom line. Who you want to kill is none of my business, and I will not stop you."

"But I will absolutely not help you kill someone."

Upon hearing this, Lilith looked expressionlessly at what was behind Li Heng. "That thing behind you, it shouldn't be considered a person, right?"

Li Heng turned his head and saw countless pure white wings spreading out densely in the sky, obscuring the clouds and covering the moon!

What is this thing again?!

"An angel?"
