Chapter 1077: Breaking the Laws of Reality
Nightingale, Royal Castle of Vlad Dracul Tepes, The King of Vampires.
How long has it been?... How long has it been since I felt so helpless?
Ahh, I remember, it was about 6 thousand years ago when I was 'born'. At that Time, I didn't know what kind of Powers I had, and because of that, I was in constant danger because of the other Supernatural Beings.
But that feeling of helplessness is not the same as the one I'm feeling now... Oh, I remember now. That feeling was the same as the one I felt when he died, The First Alioth, my old friend.
"... And now his descendant is dying, and I can't do anything." He sighed lightly.
"Your Majesty."
I raised my hand in a gesture for my Royal Guard to come to the ready, the Royal Guard, who was also one of my Shadows, trained Vampires who were my eyes and ears in Nightingale.
"What is his condition?" Even though I already know the answer to this question, I still ask it. Who knows? Maybe he will give me a different answer.
Instead of getting the answer I had anticipated, my subordinate's silence was what I received.
I turn to face my subordinate and ask: "What happened?"
"... The Emperor's forces have removed everyone from Lord Alexios' influence."
A feeling of panic took over me for a few seconds, but it was quickly controlled when I remembered that The Emperor would not do anything to Alexios. After all, he was part of his 'Family'.
Turning my face, I focused my attention on my friend's resting area, and even with my senses, I could not feel anything there.
Deciding to get closer, I disappeared from the hallway where I was and tried to appear in Alexios' room, but instead, I appeared at the door of the room.
And for a simple guard to block him was something very shocking. He would understand if they were real Dragons since each of them were monsters in their own right, but a simple guard who wasn't even a real Dragon? Had he become that weak?
And what I was faced with were two 4-meter tall Beings wearing full armor. With just one look at the guards' features, I realized that they were Dragons... Not real Dragons, but something close to it.
"Your Majesty, visits to Lord Alexios are revoked." The deep voice of the man in front of him was heard.
"You blocked me...?" Instead of being worried, he was genuinely shocked. It may not seem like it because everyone around The Emperor was abnormal, but he was one of the most powerful Beings in the Supernatural World.
And for a simple guard to block him was something very shocking. He would understand if they were real Dragons since each of them were monsters in their own right, but a simple guard who wasn't even a real Dragon? Had he become that weak?
"That's right."
Wrong... He was not weak. With a calmer assessment, Vlad deduced that he could defeat the two guards in front of him... With some difficulty. He would need to get a little serious for that to happen.
... The mere fact that he had to take it a little seriously to defeat a simple guard spoke volumes about the irrationality of this situation.
"Who are you? You're some Commander of The Emperor."
"I dare not call myself a Commander. I'm just a simple guard who serves The Emperor."
"... A simple guard? Both of you?"
"That's right."
"You know you have the strength to defeat a High-Level God, right?"
"It shames me that that is the extent of my ability."
'You're ashamed...?' Vlad blinked twice in disbelief at the absurdity he was hearing.
When Vlad was about to open his mouth again, he turned to face the hallway, and what appeared in his vision was a battalion of 4 meter tall Beings that had the same black armor with violet hues as the guard in front of him.
'Just when did they appear? Why didn't I feel anything?' The Vampire King's senses were no joke, but even so, these Beings were not picked up by him.
'Is this the work of one of the Gods? Nyx perhaps? Or is someone distorting Reality?' Vlad was getting a slap in the face from reality now... The reality that The Emperor's forces were at a level he didn't think they had.
'Just when did the disparity in strength grow so much?' Vlad genuinely asked this question.
Instead of answering Vlad, she ordered the soldiers who were not standing guard at the door: "Continue the patrol, and inform me if anything happens."
"Yes!" The soldiers put their swords back on their belts and returned to patrol the corridors.
"Follow me, Your Majesty." She turned towards the door.
The guards at the door quickly opened the door for her to enter, and as soon as Vlad and Scathach entered the room, they closed the door behind them, and it returned to their original position.
As he entered the room, the sight of Alexios floating in the air in a blue cocoon was seen.
"What is this?"
"Don't lose your temper, Vlad," Scathach spoke as she continued to walk. "Do you truly believe Victor would do anything harmful to his Wife's Family?"
"..."
"To answer your question, what you are seeing now is a Time Cocoon."
"... Time Cocoon...?" Vlad had never heard such a term before.
"Don't ask me, I don't know the details either. This is an ability of my Sister, Natalia Elderblood neÌe Alioth."
Vlad was silent for a few seconds as he assessed what he was seeing. Focusing his eyes on his friend, who was floating in the air completely naked, he noticed a few things.
"His vitality is returning... As is his former appearance... Is this cocoon making him go back in Time?"
"Doesn't this go against all the Laws of Causality?"
"What are the Laws of Causality to someone who can bend Reality itself?" Scathach snorted.
Vlad shook his head. "Time doesn't work like that... Time is like a stone-..." He thought about his words better and explained: "Time is like a river. No matter if you isolate a part of that river to try to divert it, in the end, it will always return to its normal current."
"Going back in Time won't help Alexios." Vlad shook his head in denial. "It will only delay the inevitable."
"What you said is correct, Vlad."
Scathach and Vlad looked towards the voice and saw Victor at 5 meters tall and Natalia at 4 and a half meters tall.
Scathach pouted slightly when she saw the pair and controlled her body to increase her height and become the same size as Natalia.
Natalia, who was wearing a pure white dress, spread her Dragon Wings and looked at her father, her Draconic Eyes replaced by eyes composed of several galaxies. "You can't hold back a moving current... But that's not entirely the case for an Alioth."
"We are special. Our eyes allow us to break some Rules. Because I am so connected to Time and Space, I can venture through my father's Time and isolate a moment in Time where he was healthy."
"By doing so, I can bring his healthy self to this 'present' and bend Reality so that his condition remains."
"... That is..." Vlad swallowed hard. Natalia was talking about the work of the Primordials.
She was trying to create a singularity in which the 'healthy' Alexios would exist in the 'present' where he was not healthy due to suffering the consequences of his Powers... Even if that were possible-
"The amount of Energy to accomplish such a feat is... immeasurable."
"We are Dragon Gods and True Dragons, Vlad," Victor spoke in his heavy, deep voice. "A single one of our hearts can sustain an entire planet."
"The amount of Energy required to break some Laws of Reality will never be a problem."
