BXBX NOVEL Chapter 867: A Conversation With An Outer God
It seemed as if it were made entirely out of blood, with countless eyes spreading across its existence, the blood turned into tentacles, moving around us, as if trying to wrap themselves to not let us escape.
A silhouette of some sort surged from the Aura of Blood, which seemed to distort space itself, my Spiritual Realm hurt the more this entity tried to manifest a miniscule part of its existence.
The appearance of the silhouette resembled a woman with long hair, but then it shifted to a tall and domineering man, endlessly changing forms.
Outer Ones had not a true defined shape and took the form of whatever the person looking at their existence could think.
Of course, that only included a mere manifestation… Their true bodies are said to be incomprehensible.
"This is really Sangre?!" Eleanora stepped back, only to be slightly touched by the tentacles of Blood Aura.
"Don\'t be afraid of your mother, my children… I have been called here. This beautiful, beautiful world filled with so much… richness. I desire a piece of it, my children, will you take it for me?"
"Never."
I confronted Sangre without fear, quickly pointing my spear at it.
"Ah… The soul of my strongest child! You were so close… to destroy Lucifer… Why, have you changed so much already, my dear Asmodeus?"
I have never spoken to them before, yet they seemed to know me so well.
It was already frightening they were able to manifest a part of themselves inside of my own Spiritual Realm…
"You want a piece of Spiritias, what difference would it be from the Demons themselves anyways?" I asked. "You\'re an Outer One, I cannot trust you."
"So cruel~"
Sangre slowly changed their shape into that of a tall Vampiress, completely made out of blood, slowly walking towards me.
She lifted up my chin, looking into my eyes.
Her eyes resembled a pair of endlessly spiraling chaotic swirls, I couldn\'t discern what was within her mind at all…
"Would you work with me? I want to do something special."
"What do you mean?"
I stepped back, without letting her powers work on me.
"Since my exile from the Universe that I\'ve felt rather lonely, and lately, my power is growing weaker. I need essence, I need life… I need blood. Let\'s do a small little pact. One where we both will win, no tricks."
"I see what you want…"
Entities like her are to a certain extent, conceptual. That means that the less of a certain thing that builds up her conceptual existence happens, the weaker she grows.
This concept is part of her Domain, and that\'s Bloodshed and Destruction.
"Wait, so you mean the Universe had have less bloodshed and destruction since my death?"
"Sadly, yes… It has become a rather boringly peaceful place now. Large alliances between planets have been formed. There\'s little war to feed my growth, it has become so boring… But in this world, it\'s different."
She suddenly smiled maliciously, showing an endlessly spiraling jaw that extended across her whole face, all the way to the rest of her manifestation.
"There\'s blood! The demons and the humans never stop fighting! And it has so much rich essence! I am not asking you for anything too much, my dear, dear Asmodeus! I just want to feed on what you\'ll simply leave behind! Nothing else, nothing more."
"When you smile like that, it\'s hard for me to trust you."
"Oh? Is my smile not pretty enough for a charming man like you? What do you want from me in exchange? I will give you anything, even my body… I could become your wife; I would give birth to your powerful children."
"I wouldn\'t really desire to have you as my wife, I would rather die than have an abomination like you at my side every morning."
"So cruel! I\'m going to cry now!"
She was a really terrible actor, moving around and crying tears made of blood, yet she was just smiling deep down.
"So? I have felt you have chosen the Warlock Path again! In this little world, it could mean big things! No other Outer Ones have managed to get here yet…" She smiled. "I want to be the first one and monopolize all the Essence!"
"She\'s terrible at convincing…" Eleanora was barely resisting the enormous pressure Sangre exuded as she spoke.
"Sangre… Your origins are unclear, and its not like I asked to be born a Vampire in my previous life. I have no obligation to help you nor become your cultist." I sighed. "However, I cannot deny that you annoy me every day in here would be certainly a terrible future. Let\'s make a deal, one where you\'ll benefit the least though. Would you be willing?"
"Hmph…" She quickly shapeshifted into a different form.
FLUOOSH!
The form of a horrendous bat-like chimeric beast, with countless heads, jaws, eyes, wings, limbs, claws, and tentacles.
"WHERE IS THIS BRAVERY COMING FROM, YOU LITTLE, PITIFUL ANT?!" She roared. "IT WAS THANKS TO ME THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO REACH SO FAR BACK THEN! WITHOUT MY POWERS, WITHOUT MY BLOODLINE, YOU WOULD HAD NEVER, NEVER HAVE REACHED THE PINNACLE OF THE UNIVERSE!"
"So what?" I asked. "I have no gratitude to you, Sangre. So you either accept my terms or get out."
"You…"
She squinted her countless eyes, but then slowly went back to a smaller and smaller form, resembling a cat-sized red bat.
"Okay! Sure. Let\'s do it." She giggled. "Let\'s get along, Asmodeus- Ah, I mean, Blake!"
Then, she turned back into a beautiful and tall Vampiress, extending her hand towards me for a handshake.
I humored her, but she quickly extended my body towards her, looking into my eyes…
"If you ever dare break this pact, I will not stop at simply devouring your soul, I will take away everything you love, Asmodeus. Everything."
"You don\'t intimidate me."
FLAAASH!
