I See You!

"Tap! Tap! Tap!"

Inside the pure-white marble building, a large contingent of American army soldiers filed in, searching the interior for any trace of their target.

Their uniforms were fitted with rows of fluorescent tubes. They wore gas masks and thermal imagers on their heads, carried pesticide-like tanks on their backs, and gripped specially made firearms in their hands.

Hard soles struck the floor with crisp echoes, bringing an oppressive sense of pressure. Before long, they ran into several vampires stationed on the perimeter.

Seeing the large human force, the vampires bared their fangs and threatened, "Human army, you are..."

There was no communication, no hesitation. The American army had no intention of negotiating.

Once the thermal imaging confirmed that the humanoid creature before them did not have a normal body temperature, four or five specially made tranquilizer rounds mixed with trace amounts of garlic were fired from the pitch-black muzzles.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The bullets struck the vampire's body. Before long, it trembled all over and collapsed, losing all ability to resist.

Ignoring the unconscious vampire before them, the American army stepped over its body and continued forward.

According to General Ross's orders, their mission was only to restrain or eliminate the vampires. The cleanup would be handled by the logistics personnel following behind.

After suppressing lone vampires with firepower all the way in, the commotion they caused was noticed by the larger group of vampires three minutes later.

"Damn humans!"

Seeing the fully armed American army before them, someone immediately reported deeper into the building. Upon hearing that they had been surrounded by the army, memories of long-buried humiliation began to awaken.

Looking at Deacon, who was concentrating on the ritual at the very center, half the vampires present immediately split off to resist in order to ensure the ritual would not be disrupted.

Soon, the thousands of vampires gathered in the center of the building began moving out to block the army.

More than a thousand strong, the densely packed vampire force organized a counterattack. Killing intent blazed in countless vampire eyes as they surged toward the army from all sides.

"Our operation has been exposed. We have enough experimental material. Activate Plan Two."

As the officer in the squad spoke calmly, the countless fluorescent tubes wrapped around the officers' uniforms immediately released a faint blue glow.

Yet besides the visible blue light, the tubes also emitted ultraviolet rays hundreds of times stronger than sunlight.

It was only because ultraviolet wavelengths were invisible to the human eye that they gave off the faint blue light mixed within them.

Ultraviolet lamps!

At the sight of the lights flaring from the soldiers' bodies, the killing intent in the vampires' eyes turned into deep terror. But before they could speak, the blinding light had already pierced them like blades that could cut through anything.

The so-called sunscreen smeared over their bodies could at most block sunlight for a short while. Faced with ultraviolet rays of such intensity, they were instantly reduced to ash.

Countless vampires in the front ranks turned to ash in a single exchange. Only a few vampires wrapped up from head to toe survived the first wave, only to collapse without surprise beneath a spray of mist mixed with concentrated garlic essence.

"They're nothing but vampire mongrels."

The officer among the troops looked at the vampires with a disdainful smile. They were riddled with weaknesses, yet they dared call themselves a blood clan. Forget comparing them to mutants—they were even easier to deal with than criminal blacks.

But before his words had faded, a vampire grabbed a massive stone and hurled it like a giant axe, smashing the head of a soldier beside the officer to pulp.

Though the vampire's vital point was pierced by silver bullets in the next instant, the first casualty of this battle had officially appeared.

"Damn mongrels. They dare resist instead of surrendering? Use the heavy measures." The officer was shaken with lingering fear, which was quickly replaced by deep rage.

The next moment, the American army pulled flash grenades from their pockets and threw them out. As intense ultraviolet rays burst from them, every vampire within several meters of the blast radius was reduced to ash.

As for the vampires covered head to toe in sealed clothing, vast amounts of concentrated atomized garlic essence began pouring from the tanks on the soldiers' backs, filling the air like an invisible Grim Reaper.

Every vampire breathing it in collapsed in agony, clutching their mouths and noses as their internal organs began to fail and necrotize.

Humans and vampires did not share the same weaknesses. This invisible garlic essence mist enveloped the inside and outside of the building. Aside from being a little choking to humans, it was devastating only to vampires, allowing the American army to use it without restraint.

Every passage leading outside was filled with mist, ensuring that not a single vampire could escape judgment.

The moment Ross decided to act, he had already resolved to wipe out all ten thousand-plus vampires in one sweep. The method used was precisely the one once employed by the German army, only more efficient and straightforward.

Just as the vampires outside were being slaughtered freely by humans, the ritual inside the building reached its critical moment.

Daywalker's blood dripped through tubes onto the foreheads of the twelve purebloods. Through the purebloods' life sacrifice, a terrifying existence from another dimension locked onto this universe.

And because of the faint bloodline connection between vampires and high-dimensional beings, that Dimensional Demon God could observe everything through the vampires' eyes.

What first caught its attention was the countless vampire livestock being exterminated by the human army. Watching vampire after vampire get surrounded and killed, the high-dimensional being felt no anger whatsoever. It merely found it amusing.

As the price—or rather, the transaction—for entering this universe, invisible ripples traveled through lightning into the bodies of the twelve sacrificial vampires.

As the progenitor of all blood clans throughout the multiverse, the Blood God's bloodline suppression allowed her to easily control every descendant.

The instant lightning struck the sacrificial vampires, the bodies of those purebred vampires exploded, becoming the purest bloodline energy and leaving their flesh behind as they flew toward Deacon at the center.

Under the expectant gazes of every vampire present, countless spirit forms repeatedly passed through Deacon's body in the blink of an eye. The essence of the purebreds acted as nourishment, altering Deacon's mixed-blood lineage.

The inherent inferiority rooted in his bloodline was completely erased. His physical capabilities and healing ability alike continued to grow, but what followed no longer held the Dimensional Demon God's interest.

Throughout the Marvel multiverse, countless Sacrifice Rituals took place every moment. Yet the vast majority could not even draw his attention; he merely dispensed power as though on an assembly line. Perhaps this universe would become the same in the future.

Before leaving, the unknown being took one final look at this world through the eyes of every vampire.

But the scene it saw through the eyes of one descendant made her consciousness, just about to withdraw, freeze in place.

Outside the cinema, Bai Ye was holding Gwen's wrist as he checked the tickets when a chill suddenly ran down his spine.

He instinctively turned around. Not far behind him, Camilla was staring at him with blood-red eyes and a wide grin.
