Chapter 84
The power flowing within the golden film was ready to move, eager to purify the vampire emitting a dark aura, but was suppressed by Messiah.
Messiah looked at the vampire who was screaming and struggling. After a brief moment of shock, a ball of golden light appeared in the palm of his hand.
He wanted to test whether the vampire's thinking could return to normal after erasing the black smoke in the vampire's brain.
If he can't... he only has the choice of killing the vampire or brainwashing the vampire.
The Messiah did not want to do this. He did not want to take more lives or brainwash others. The experience of the last world had proven the error of this method. It could not save others, but could only cause greater distortion.
These vampires were once human beings. They committed those actions after their minds were distorted. They are also the ones that the Messiah wants to save.
Vampires should not be the ones who are abandoned as victims, and it is also wrong to abandon some people for others.
The ending of the last world was deeply engraved in the Messiah's mind, reminding him not to go down the wrong path again.
"Don't move." Messiah stared into the vampire's scarlet eyes. He slowly raised his hand, and the golden light gradually approached the vampire's brain. "I'm saving you."
The Messiah's expression was gentle and compassionate. The golden light penetrated into the vampire's brain, and the black smoke that filled the vampire's brain disappeared instantly.
The vampire screamed.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
The golden film that controlled the vampire disappeared, and the vampire staggered to his knees, covering his head and howling heart-wrenchingly.
Messiah's force in dispelling the black fog from the vampire's brain was very gentle and did not hurt the vampire's brain at all, but the vampire let out a scream that Messiah did not expect.
"Does it hurt?" Messiah frowned slightly, squatting down to observe the vampire kneeling and screaming, not caring about the pure white cloak that fell to the ground and was stained. "You..."
Messiah's words suddenly stopped.
The vampire was howling, tears and snot all over his face, pain, regret and death twisted his features, he was crying and screaming heart-wrenchingly.
Messiah looked at the vampire crying and screaming, and a hint of sadness appeared on his face.
"Don't cry." Messiah looked at the vampire tenderly and compassionately, watching such a tragic scene. "I will save everyone. Don't be sad anymore."
He raised his hand, and warm, holy power surged into the vampire's body, twisting the vampire's body back into a human structure as the Messiah's will was applied.
The scarlet in the vampire's eyes gradually faded, and the fat shop owner wailed and banged his head on the ground.
Messiah sighed and withdrew his hand. He could not dispel the negative emotions in the shop owner's heart because they continued to arise.
“I, I…”
The shop owner looked at Messiah, at the white-robed youth who had awakened him from his brutal and ruthless vampire state, and trembled as he said, "You, no, you... I thank you, I beg you..."
He tried to grab the corner of Messiah's robe that fell to the ground and tried to kiss it, but Messiah gently blocked his way.
"I know," Messiah whispered. "I will save you."
Messiah was surrounded by a faint golden halo, and in the eyes of the shop owner, he was no different from a god.
I don’t know why, perhaps because Messiah’s temperament was too compassionate, the owner couldn’t make Messiah into a superhero.
He looks more like a church statue than a superhero...
The shopkeeper looked at the Messiah reverently and asked, "May I have the honor of knowing your name?"
When people are in pain, they turn to religion, and the shopkeeper was no exception. If he hadn't placed his faith in the Messiah, believing that he could save everyone as he claimed, he would have collapsed and committed suicide.
Messiah noticed the shopkeeper's pious attitude, which was almost like looking up to a god. He didn't like being looked at in that way, as if they were different species.
but……
Messiah saw that the owner's expression was no longer as painful and acquiesced to his actions.
"Messiah." Messiah slowly stood up and calmly grasped the hand behind him that was suddenly reaching for his heart. "My name is Messiah."
The shop owner's expression turned into horror. He staggered back in fear, looking in terror at the being whose hand the Messiah was holding.
"Ghost King!"
The black-haired, red-eyed young man chuckled softly, his scarlet eyes looking at the Messiah who was holding his wrist with interest, without even glancing at the shop owner.
"Messiah?" The Ghost King's pale face showed undisguised interest. "Savior? The Son of Messiah?"
"interesting."
Messiah quickly threw a layer of suggestion that would weaken his presence at the terrified shop owner, and tore a spatial rift behind him: "Run!"
The shop owner met Messiah's eyes, his frightened expression turned into determination, and he turned and ran without hesitation.
The humans who might be threatened by the Ghost King disappeared. Messiah finally let go of the Ghost King's wrist and slowly turned around to face the Ghost King.
The young man with black hair and red eyes was wearing a black high-necked coat with a blood-red red bird with spread wings on his chest. His skin was pale, and he had no breathing or heartbeat, but the desire in his eyes was unconcealed.
—He wanted to eat the Messiah.
Messiah looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar appearance of the Ghost King. His gaze lingered for a second on the red bird with outstretched wings on the Ghost King's chest. He whispered, "...Richard Grayson."
The current Vampire King, once the great blue bird Nightwing.
The Ghost King licked his lower lip, his eyes fixed on Messiah's exposed neck, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "I don't mind you calling me Dick."
His smile was gentle, almost identical to Nightwing's old one, but with his pale face and scarlet eyes, it looked strange.
"You smell so good, Messiah." The Ghost King sniffed the sweet scent in the air. There was something in that sweet scent that particularly attracted him, and the Ghost King couldn't help but bare his fangs. "Can I call you Xiao Mi?"
Messiah looked at the Ghost King with complicated eyes. The familiar nickname made the memories that he had suppressed deep in his memory surge up again. The way Dick smiled and called "Xiao Mi" in the previous world overlapped with the Ghost King at this moment, which also made him clearly aware of the difference between the Ghost King and Dick.
They all shouted the same name, but Messiah only saw cruelty and arrogance in the Demon King.
Messiah saw thick black fog in the Ghost King's brain. The black fog continuously flowed towards the Ghost King from the outside world, and then penetrated into the Ghost King's brain bit by bit, almost dyeing the Ghost King's brain black.
"You killed your family, forcibly transformed former superheroes into vampires, raised humans like livestock, and wantonly destroyed the world."
Messiah read out the crimes of the King of Ghosts bit by bit.
If he hadn't seen the Ghost King's appearance with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe that Dick would do such a cruel thing.
When the Messiah observed the entire earth, he saw the scenes in the human pasture.
The half-naked humans were kept in the pasture pens like livestock. There were long feeding troughs and water troughs on the ground. They could only lie on the ground to drink water or eat with their hands. They ate, lived and defecated in this small pen.
Treating humans so cruelly, the Ghost King and the vampires have completely lost their humanity.
The Ghost King licked his fangs and said nonchalantly, "Maybe? I can't remember all the boring things that happened."
"It is a human's honor to be eaten by the noble vampires." The Ghost King elegantly tucked his hair away from his ears. "Whether they are 'family' or humans, they should all feel honored to have been able to please me."
Messiah's eyes instantly turned cold.
"Xiao Mi, Messiah... Holy Son." The Ghost King called Messiah's name intimately, as if they had known each other for a long time. "Since you want to save everyone, why not save me too?"
The Ghost King showed an extremely cruel and cold smile: "I am very hungry now, why don't you save me and feed me?"
The next second, the Ghost King's body turned into a shadow and instantly appeared behind Messiah. His fangs forced their way towards Messiah's neck, but missed.
The golden film around Messiah blocked the Ghost King's attack, allowing him to quietly observe the Ghost King's appearance at this moment.
There was only cruelty and cold-blooded violence on the Ghost King's face, without a trace of remorse or humanity. The black smoke that continuously flowed into the Ghost King's brain had completely changed the Ghost King.
The Ghost King is just the Ghost King, not Nightwing, nor Richard Grayson.
The Messiah was angry about what the King of Demons did, and he was also sad about what the King of Demons did.
"How pathetic..." Messiah looked at the Ghost King with cold eyes, yet also filled with strong compassion, "To have become like this."
The rage surging in his heart made Messiah want to punish the Ghost King, but his desire to save everyone was even stronger.
Messiah looked at the Ghost King who was still eager to attack him, and a hint of hesitation emerged in his heart.
Perhaps, killing the Ghost King completely is the only way to redeem Richard Grayson.
Once the Ghost King regained his humanity and sanity, he realized that he had killed all his brothers and family members with his own hands, torn apart Superboy, who was once a close friend, and transformed Green Lantern and Raven, who trusted him, into cruel vampires. He let the vampire Green Lantern take advantage of his trust to kill the Flash. He treated humans as prey to play with and hunt, and established human ranches and blood factories to raise humans for food, killing so many people...
Richard Grayson will be completely destroyed, his spirit and heart will completely collapse, leaving only a walking corpse living to atone for his sins. He will suffer and regret every day and want to end his life, but he will numbly survive every day in order to continue to atone for his sins.
Messiah understood Dick, and although there were differences between the worlds, Dick's nature would not change.
The King of Ghosts didn't care about the Messiah's mercy and even found it ridiculous.
"If you want to save me, why don't you feed me?" The Ghost King licked his lips. "The Messiah can transform into a lamb to atone for the sins of mankind, and Sakyamuni can cut off his flesh to feed the eagle."
"Little Saint, please save me too."
