Chapter 87
Messiah spun his hands and calmly walked towards the vampires, facing the attack, paying no attention to the energy and magic coming straight at him.
A golden barrier suddenly rose up, and all the energy and magic heading straight for Messiah were swallowed up by the golden light, causing ripples on the barrier incarnated by the golden light.
But it was just a ripple.
The Ghost King stopped laughing unconsciously, and his originally nonchalant expression turned into alertness, but this alertness came too late.
The sudden burst of golden light illuminated the night and briefly dispelled the dark clouds overhead. Under Messiah's control, the golden light quickly rushed towards the vampires who were still in an offensive posture.
The vampires who witnessed their attack being blocked had no time to react before they were frozen in place by the sudden spreading golden light.
Messiah moved his fingers, and the golden light instantly turned into ropes that wrapped around all the vampires present, and fixed them into shackles on the vampires' wrists and ankles.
The vampire Green Lantern frowned and moved his arms. The green light energy transformed into a pair of large scissors, trying to cut the rope and break free from the blockade of the golden light. The green light scissors cut the rope, but in turn shattered itself.
Messiah finally walked in front of the vampires. His calm gaze swept over the vampires who were struggling to break free from the golden shackles, and finally stopped at the Ghost King.
An unprecedented sense of crisis rose in the Ghost King's heart. He concealed the fear in his eyes without making a sound. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again, and he looked back at Messiah with a smile: "You win, Xiao Mi."
The Ghost King said this lightly, as if his act of summoning vampires and wanting to imprison the Messiah was just a joke, and he just wanted the vampires to have a fight with the Messiah.
While chatting and joking with Messiah, the Ghost King secretly exerted force on the blade hidden in his sleeve. After making sure that he could not escape the confinement of the golden light, he was ready to transform into a bat.
Hypnosis doesn't work on Messiah, and the vampires present are basically the strongest fighters in the vampire kingdom, so they can only retreat tactically for the time being.
Messiah's boots made a crisp thud as they hit the ground, and he was approaching the Ghost King little by little.
The Ghost King wanted to transform directly into a vampire bat. Bats are small enough to break free from the golden shackles, but he was shocked to find that the vampire power in his body had disappeared and he could not transform into a bat.
Messiah pinched the Ghost King's chin and met the Ghost King's eyes filled with surprise.
Compared to when the vampire Green Lantern imprisoned the Messiah, the two's situation is completely reversed.
The Ghost King remained calm and tensed, ready to be questioned and attacked by Messiah, but the moment he met Messiah's eyes, his expression instantly turned to surprise.
There was no aggression in Messiah's eyes. Instead, those golden eyes were filled with sorrow and pity, as if...
It was as if he was a patient with an incurable disease!
But he is a noble vampire, the king of vampires who rules the world. Why should the Messiah have mercy on him?
The scarred earth was filled with human wailing and crying. Black fog kept overflowing from the wounded people and also kept penetrating into the brains of the superheroes who were doing evil.
The Ghost King's brain was briefly clear for a moment, but the black fog continued to flow into his brain, quickly dispelling his brief clarity.
Messiah lowered his eyes and witnessed this scene. He stretched out his palm towards the Ghost King's forehead, but paused in mid-air.
If the black fog is not allowed to continue flowing into the Ghost King's brain, judging from the Ghost King's current performance, he will occasionally have a moment of clear thinking, as if Richard Grayson's consciousness has emerged and defeated the Ghost King.
With Richard's keenness, he will soon be able to dispel the black fog in his mind by himself and restore the humanity and emotions that have been erased by the black fog.
Under the Ghost King's vigilant gaze, Messiah clasped his palms together and extended a finger, with a golden light shining on the fingertip.
A golden halo shone in Messiah's eyes. He tapped the Ghost King's forehead with his finger and whispered in his ear, "From now on, you can no longer commit evil as a vampire, and you can no longer enslave humans."
His voice grew louder and louder, reaching the ears of all the vampires present.
"You will turn back into humans, and there will be no more vampires in this world."
The Ghost King's expression changed drastically in an instant, but no matter how he struggled, he could not escape the confinement of the golden light.
The holy energy flowed into the Ghost King's body through Messiah's fingertips, and the vampire's blood boiled as if it had encountered holy water.
Holy water! Holy water!
The Ghost King's face was distorted. He didn't understand why the Messiah's power was like an enhanced version of holy water. He was clearly fine after drinking the Messiah's blood.
Messiah stared intently at the Ghost King's face, watching the scarlet in the Ghost King's eyes gradually fade away, and the familiar blue eyes returned to Richard Grayson's face.
But those blue eyes were not gentle, instead they were filled with chaotic malice.
The Messiah only turned the Ghost King back into a human, but did not dispel the black fog that enveloped the Ghost King's brain.
"you--!"
"Ghost King Nightwing" looked at Messiah with murderous eyes. When Messiah's hand reached out to his face, he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he did not receive the harm he imagined.
Messiah caressed the face of Ghost King Nightwing, his eyes gentle and compassionate: "I'm sorry, Richard. I'm trying my best to save you, but we all need to wait."
After turning the Ghost King back into a human, Messiah's expression was no longer expressionless and close to indifference, but gentle and compassionate.
"Ghost King Nightwing" frowned and looked at Messiah: "I don't need you--"
But when Messiah withdrew his hand, his words suddenly stopped, and he looked at the water droplets on Messiah's hand in a trance.
The Messiah...was wiping his tears?
Am I crying?
"Ghost King Nightwing" belatedly realized the wet touch on his face. He was clearly angry about Messiah's behavior and hated his current identity as a lowly creature, so why was he crying?
Those blue eyes were filled with hostility and coldness, but tears kept flowing out.
It was as if there was another person crying inside him.
"Ghost King Nightwing" did not understand this behavior and just thought it was the weak instinct of the human body. He frowned in annoyance and barely controlled the tears in his eyes.
“…”
Messiah watched the little movements of the "Ghost King Nightwing" and his heart was filled with sadness. He felt sad for Nightwing, whose will was forcibly changed by the black fog and who committed sins.
"I will save you." Messiah said almost confidently.
The shackles that imprisoned "Ghost King Nightwing" lit up and turned into several circles of golden tattoos on the wrists and ankles of "Ghost King Nightwing".
"It will restrain your bodies and prevent you from continuing to hurt others as human beings." Messiah slowly stood up and looked back at the former vampires whose eyes had also lost their scarlet color.
The changes that occurred in the Ghost King were also replicated in these vampires.
"Green Lantern" frowned and shook his trembling wrist. The Green Lantern ring on his finger flickered between light and dark, and the Green Lantern costume disappeared and reappeared.
He didn't understand why the Green Lantern Ring suddenly went out of control, as if his willpower was no longer enough to control it.
And...why are his hands shaking?
The current "Green Lantern" does not understand how cruel it is to manipulate the green light energy to strangle the Flash's neck with his own hands - both for the Flash and for the Green Lantern Hal Jordan.
Messiah lowered his eyes slightly, no longer looking at the stunned reactions of the vampires who had turned back into humans.
Their minds were twisted to make them do things that were against their will... Such a sad thing, just turning them back into humans, their body's instincts made them feel pain before they even realized it.
Sure enough, the decision not to dispel the black fog in their minds was the right one.
While Messiah felt sad for the vampires, he also felt anger towards the culprit who caused all this.
If the black fog did not exist, even if the superheroes turned into vampires, the heroes' willpower would not allow them to do such cruel things.
The black fog caused them to hurt the world and themselves.
The shadow of the bat that Messiah encountered before entering this world appeared in his mind. Without much reasoning, he could be sure that the culprit was the existence behind the shadow of the bat.
Messiah closed his eyes. Now he thought that there must be a culprit behind the first world supreme leader. It was just that he had not yet fully mastered his abilities at that time and could not see the black fog in the supreme leader's brain.
After ending all the misery on Earth, he must find that existence and then - stop it.
Messiah looked up at the sky covered with dark clouds. The dark clouds that were dispersed by the golden light covered the sky again after the golden light faded.
He raised his palm and stretched it towards the sky, and golden light covered the black clouds bit by bit.
In the half of the land ruled by vampires, the vampires suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky which was suddenly dyed golden.
The human being who was being chased and hunted by the vampire fell to the ground in a mess. He barely supported himself with his arms and raised his body, then looked up at the golden sky in the mud.
"Mom, the sky isn't black anymore..." the child grabbed his mother's sleeve, "Look, it's golden."
The penetrating golden light illuminated every corner of the vampire kingdom. It penetrated into the gaps in steel plates, into the walls of buildings, and into the shadows behind curtains.
The golden light that fell from the sky penetrated through the gaps, illuminating the pale faces in the human ranch sheds. Some people subconsciously reached out to catch this bright and warm light.
"So bright, so warm..." murmured the person who caught the light.
This is a light that mankind has not seen for a long time.
After the vampires ruled them, both the light and the sunlight disappeared in the human world.
Messiah sighed softly, he heard the human voice.
"Ghost King Nightwing" stared at Messiah without blinking. He realized what Messiah was about to do, but he couldn't understand it.
"Messiah? Savior?" Ghost King Nightwing stared intently at Messiah's face. His youthful features still held a touch of childishness, but his gentle and compassionate expression blurred his age. "Savior..."
"Ghost King Nightwing" didn't understand what he was thinking, but he couldn't take his eyes off him. The tears that had just stopped rolling down again for some reason.
The Messiah flew into the sky.
Under the black clouds, Messiah gazed at the earth shrouded in darkness, and his firm yet gentle voice reached every corner of the vampire kingdom.
"I am the Messiah, and I swear hereby that I will save everyone."
"The vampire kingdom will be liberated, and you will have freedom and redemption."
