Chapter 86
The Ghost King was stunned at first, and then instantly became furious.
The fangs symbolize the noble status of the vampires. How dare this human touch his fangs!
The Ghost King glared coldly at Messiah with his scarlet eyes, but when he met Messiah's oppressive eyes, he lowered his eyes again and smiled good-naturedly.
"I can no longer eat on my own." The Ghost King showed his gentle side to Messiah, looking at Messiah with puppy eyes full of innocence, "I will starve to death, Xiao Mi."
"Aren't you going to save everyone? Or are you going to take the initiative to feed me from now on?"
"I don't want to repeat myself for the third time, Vampire King." Messiah's calm tone seemed to conceal a turbulent storm. "Tell me what you remember."
Messiah grabbed the Ghost King's wrist, which was about to launch a sneak attack, and his fingertips rested on the Ghost King's sharp claws. "This is my final warning. Do not test my patience. I don't want to remove your fangs and then cut off your claws."
The Ghost King's smile disappeared for a moment, and he looked at Messiah expressionlessly as if he was looking at a dead person, but the next second the smile returned to his face.
"Sure, I can tell you." The Ghost King said nonchalantly, "I remembered a green light and a man laughing wildly within it."
"But as to who that man is, I don't know."
The Ghost King raised his eyelids, his scarlet eyes filled with indifference. "Maybe he killed my brother? Or maybe after I killed my brother, he wanted me to kill him too? It's all blocked by the black fog."
"It doesn't really matter what the truth is. They're just humans who can die at any cost." The Ghost King's tone was filled with contempt. He licked his lips and his eyes rested on Messiah's artery again. "Now I've told you the truth—"
"Xiao Mi, I'm so hungry, can you give me another reward?"
The Ghost King approached Messiah little by little in the posture of an inferior. Messiah looked calmly at the Ghost King who had disguised himself again. He did not take the Ghost King's plan seriously.
Messiah placed one hand on the Ghost King's forehead as he approached, pondering the Ghost King's words in his mind.
Green light and wild laughter...
Dead bird.
Batman survives alone.
The ghost king who lost his memory.
From the intelligence he gathered in the Vampire Kingdom, all vampires had not lost their memories of their human days, only the Ghost King had lost his memory.
The Messiah thought of the most unlikely, yet most likely, truth.
…
"No, that's impossible." Messiah subconsciously denied this possibility, "Bruce would never do that."
How could Bruce have done all this? How could Batman have killed his own child? How could he have become another Joker?
But the green gas that floated out when he killed the Joker in the last world appeared in Messiah's mind again, [Dark Multiverse·The Laughing Bat].
The Bat Who Laughs, what else could it be except Batman?
Messiah suddenly stood up from the ground. The Ghost King, who was half-kneeling on the ground, looked up at Messiah and narrowed his eyes slightly.
3, 2, 1——
Right now.
The Ghost King said without hesitation: "Do it!"
Green light illuminated the night, and a large green hand attacked Messiah from behind, tightly grasping the defenseless Messiah in its palm.
The vampire Green Lantern fell to the ground from the air. He glanced at the Messiah who was controlled by the Green Lantern creation and bowed his head respectfully to the Ghost King.
"Master, do you need me to kill this unevolved, inferior creature for you?" The Vampire Green Lantern raised his right hand, the Green Lantern ring, a symbol of willpower, gleaming on his pale finger. "He has offended the Master."
The green hand holding Messiah tightened, and with just a command from the Ghost King, the Vampire Green Lantern could crush Messiah.
—Just like when he obeyed the Ghost King's orders and killed Barry Allen himself.
Messiah remained silent. Even though his life was in the hands of the Ghost King and the Vampire Green Lantern, he did not move. He just looked up at the distant sky, as if his eyes could see through the distance and see something.
He did see it.
In the regime's control room, Batman silently tapped the keyboard of the supercomputer, issuing instructions to the super-powered troops on the front lines of the war, and remotely directing the super-powered troops to fight against vampires.
There was no trace of joy on Batman's face. His brows were furrowed and his expression was heavy. There were dark circles under his eyes, as if he had not slept for a long time.
"Bat, you should go and rest." Cyborg walked into the control room and shook his head seriously at Batman. "I know you want to overthrow the rule of vampires, but you are just an ordinary person with flesh and blood."
Cyborg patted Batman's shoulder and said solemnly, "I know you want to avenge Tim and the others, but if Tim and Mr. Pennyworth were still alive, they wouldn't want to see you like this."
Batman rasped, "...No."
"It was my mistake to let Dick become the Vampire King he is today. I must put an end to this." Batman looked heavily at the impact of vampires destroying the city displayed on the supercomputer. "I know my body. I will go to rest in two hours."
Messiah looked through the bat mask and saw the expression on Batman's face, which was a heavy and tired expression that matched his words.
Batman looked sad and guilty, and these emotions seemed to come from the heart, and Messiah could see no trace of pretense.
Judging from Batman's performance alone, his inference seems to be wrong.
Messiah is not in power, so he has no way of observing Batman's brain with his own eyes. Only by seeing in person whether Batman's brain has changed can he be sure whether there is something wrong with Batman.
He hoped that Batman was alright, that his deductions were completely wrong.
Messiah slowly looked away.
The moment Messiah looked away, Batman raised his head as if he had sensed something, his steel-blue eyes instantly turned a turbid green, and the corners of his pursed lips twitched strangely, as if he wanted to laugh.
Messiah lowered his eyes and looked at the Ghost King and the vampire Green Lantern who were discussing his future without any scruples below, his expression calm.
Before heading to the regime to confirm Batman's condition, he must first liberate the vampire kingdom and save the humans living in the most tormented situation.
"No, of course not." The Ghost King licked his fingers that had once been stained with Messiah's blood, recalling the feeling when Messiah fed him blood. "I will transform him and make him our companion."
"His blood is very useful. It can bring power to vampires."
The Ghost King's gaze turned to Messiah, who was controlled by the Green Lantern Ring, and a playful smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I hope he can be transformed into a vampire, otherwise Starfire might have another companion."
- Starfire, a former member of the Teen Titans and now the Outlaws, cannot be transformed into a vampire due to her Tamaranan physique, but her blood has the function of making vampires resist weaknesses such as sunlight and holy water, so she was imprisoned by the Ghost King as a blood supply tool.
The vampire Green Lantern shrugged, controlled the Green Lantern Ring and slowly presented the Messiah to the Ghost King: "As you wish, Master."
Messiah calmly watched the Ghost King slowly approaching, and circles of light appeared in the Ghost King's pupils.
"Be good, don't move, don't resist." The Ghost King lowered his voice, staring into Messiah's golden eyes and using his hypnotic ability. His voice was filled with bewitching intent, "I am your companion. You long to become a vampire and to sacrifice your life for me."
After becoming a vampire, Richard Grayson seemed to have lost the caution he had as a bat. Although he had witnessed the Messiah using his power, he arrogantly thought he could control the Messiah.
The Messiah was disappointed, extremely disappointed.
He looked at the Ghost King with a look that the Ghost King could not understand, and also at the vampire Green Lantern who was standing behind the Ghost King and watching this scene indifferently.
The Ghost King casually gathered up Messiah's long hair that hung on the side of his neck. The vampire's powerful self-healing ability allowed his fangs to grow out again. He leaned down, and his fangs approached Messiah's neck.
But with a click, the Ghost King did not bite Messiah's neck as he wished, but his fangs were shattered by the automatically emerging golden light.
Again.
The Ghost King quickly retracted his body and in a breath he was away from Messiah, standing next to the Vampire Green Lantern. He looked at Messiah with vigilance and annoyance as he had destroyed his fangs again.
Without the Ghost King's order, the vampire Green Lantern took action instantly. The green hand that was holding Messiah tightened instantly, and the extended spikes stabbed at Messiah fiercely, trying to crush him into a pulp.
Messiah moved his hand expressionlessly, and the green hand formed by the willpower of the vampire Green Lantern shattered inch by inch.
"A person whose will has been altered by the nature of a vampire can actually use a Green Lantern ring powered by willpower." Messiah said calmly, "How ridiculous, how ironic."
"Don't you feel guilty about the Flash's death? Do you still have a trace of humanity left in you after you killed your friend out of trust?"
"...That was Barry's fate. I tried to save him, but there was no way! You're just a stranger. You don't need to judge what happened between Barry and me!"
The vampire Green Lantern's scarlet eyes were stained with anger, and the green light turned into thousands of curling blades that rushed towards the Messiah fiercely: "How dare you question my willpower! I will crush you inch by inch and squeeze you into bloody mud!"
In the sky where the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, a group of bats rushed towards Messiah. One vampire after another was summoned by the Ghost King and transformed into human form the moment they landed.
The Ghost King stared at Messiah without blinking and issued an order to the summoned vampires: "Capture him! Try to keep him alive. His blood can provide us with strength!"
Vampire Hawkman gripped his warhammer tightly and swooped down on Messiah. Vampire Raven opened her arms, dark magic gushing out of her body. Vampire Martian Manhunter closed his eyes, his mental power extending to Messiah's brain. Vampire Zatanna opened her red lips and uttered a string of ironic magic...
Messiah's eyes reflected the vampires rushing towards him, and his bright golden eyes seemed to be stained with starlight.
He looked at the vampires and the superheroes who saved humanity and the earth, as if he could hear the cries in their hearts.
"How pathetic..." Messiah whispered.
The Messiah also raised his right hand, and golden light suddenly burst out, lighting up the dark night without stars or moon.
"—Let me end this for you."
