Chapter 88
"Liberate the vampire kingdom?" A vampire swung his hands dismissively, as if trying to shake off the golden light shining on his skin. "A bunch of unevolved, inferior creatures, what a joke."
"The guy who claimed to save the vampire kingdom last time was torn to pieces by his master. I wonder how this guy will die this time."
Vampires' malicious whispers echoed in all directions of the vampire kingdom. They snickered and mocked the Messiah's naivety in saying "liberate the vampire kingdom".
The vampires who had lost their humanity became arrogant. Even when the Messiah showed his power to cover the entire vampire kingdom with golden light, the vampires still maintained a contemptuous attitude.
When the humans living in the vampire kingdom heard the voice of the Messiah, a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes.
What if? What if he could actually do it?
If the vampire kingdom could really be liberated, they would no longer have to continue living this kind of life where they could be sucked dry of blood by a passing vampire at any time, and they would no longer have to continue to fear death that might befall them at any time.
In the barn of the human ranch, tears welled up in the eyes of the disheveled people. They looked cautiously at the golden light that penetrated into the human ranch, and imagined in their minds what life would be like after being rescued.
In an apartment in Gotham, a girl who had drawn the curtains heard a familiar voice from the sky. Her hand shook and she accidentally broke the water glass.
The girl held her breath, looking at the golden light shining through the gap in the curtains, and then she pulled open the curtains as if possessed by a magician. The golden light instantly illuminated the entire bedroom.
She looked up at the sky. Gotham's sky was still covered with dark clouds, but beneath the dark clouds was a layer of warm and bright golden light.
“!”
The girl opened her eyes wide in shock, watching as the warm, bright golden light suddenly turned into a deeper, molten gold.
The Messiah opened his hands.
The golden light shining on the earth was covered with a layer of molten gold, and the originally warm and harmless light was instantly tinged with a murderous aura.
Messiah lowered his eyes and looked at the vampire on the ground, but his expression was gentle, in stark contrast to the murderous power.
The next second, the vampires screamed.
The golden light shining on the vampires suddenly began to burn, and the vampires howled miserably, no longer able to maintain their elegant and arrogant appearance.
The vampires were wrapped in golden flames one after another. Their whole bodies were burning with flames, but their bodies did not suffer any harm. Even the skin close to the golden flames did not show any signs of burns.
There is no pain when being burned by the golden flames, but there is a strange feeling lingering deep in the vampires' souls, causing them to scream.
The humans who were originally being hunted by vampires laughed heartily when they saw the vampires wailing and screaming.
"Dad, Mom, sister, did you see that?" The red-haired woman fell to the ground in a mess, hatred burning in her eyes. "These vampires are going to be burned to death. They will never be able to kill again!"
The red-haired woman laughed as she admired the vampire burning, and as she laughed, her laughter turned into tears.
The same scene happened in many places in the vampire kingdom.
Some were hugging each other, some were ecstatic, some were heartbroken, some were crying out for survival, and some were fantasizing about what it would be like if this salvation came sooner...
Messiah's gentle expression gradually turned into sadness. He lowered his eyes slightly and half closed them to hide the trembling in them.
terribly sorry……
Messiah thought, vampires will not die, I will not kill vampires to avenge the dead as you think.
The evening breeze blew on Messiah's face, and the hair scattered on Messiah's forehead and temples was blown up by the wind, and his uncovered face was illuminated by golden light.
At this moment, the Messiah looked as holy as a statue in a church, like a god who loved everyone equally with tenderness and cruelty.
"Perhaps this is cruel news for you," Messiah said softly, "They also need to be saved."
Past mistakes taught the Messiah that sacrificing a part of the people to save the majority would only lead to more tragedy.
If he sacrifices vampires for humans just as he once sacrificed criminals for the happiness of the majority, it would be a repeat of the tragedy of the previous world. Now that he can sacrifice vampires for humans, the next step may be to sacrifice superpowers for ordinary people.
Saving others should not be divided into different levels, not to mention that vampires were once human beings and they committed crimes after their minds were distorted.
Vampires are victims too.
The Messiah continuously outputs power. If this is a story told to others, it must be a sad story.
"Martian Manhunter" suddenly stopped struggling. He had been trying to invade Messiah's brain to prevent Messiah from liberating the vampire kingdom, but telepathy allowed him to sense the emotions of the surviving humans around him.
"I..." Martian Manhunter looked down at his palms, "How could this be?"
"Martian Hunter" clenched his hands. He could clearly read human thoughts before, so why was he suddenly disturbed by human thoughts?
...Could it be that after becoming a lower-level human being, his heart also became weak?
The burning vampires stretched out their hands towards the void, as if trying to grasp something fleeting.
As the golden flames gradually died down, the vampires' pale skin began to show blood color, their fangs gradually shrank, their ferocious claws gradually faded, and the scarlet in their eyes began to dissipate.
The humans in the Vampire Kingdom looked at the scene which was different from what they had imagined and showed a look of surprise.
S-Suckling vampires are turning back into humans?
Finally, the golden flames faded, and the heartbeat and breathing returned to the former vampires.
The vampires who turned back into humans knelt on the ground, panting, and felt the long-lost body temperature in a trance.
Looking at the vampire who had turned back into a human, the red-haired woman took two quick breaths, picked up the bricks on the ground and walked towards the "vampire" step by step.
I can't forgive, I can't let go, I can't accept that they are still alive after what they did.
The brick raised high was about to hit the vampire on the head, but at this moment, the "vampire" who was kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head.
The brick in the red-haired woman's hand fell to the ground.
What appeared before her was a face with tears streaming down its face.
“I, I… I.” The “vampire”—no, the black-haired man cried loudly, “What have I done!!”
Howling replaced screams, and after waking up, these former vampires let out unprecedented tragic cries.
"This is a sad story." Messiah lowered his eyes and looked at everything happening in the Vampire Kingdom. He said softly, "A complete tragedy."
Messiah didn't treat all vampires the same way he treated the superheroes of the past; it was a deliberate choice on his part.
While keeping the vampires' twisted minds is the best option, it will hurt the humans who watch the vampires go unharmed.
Humans who have been ruled by vampires have more or less lost their families and suffered from the vampires. If they were to see that the vampires had turned back into humans without any harm, and were even still cruel and ruthless, they would not be able to bear it.
The Messiah had once caused great harm to mankind because he did not understand the human heart, so he would now take the human heart into consideration when acting.
"Why can vampires get away with their evil deeds? Why do they have to lose everything? Should we blame it on bad luck?"
Messiah thought, if he didn't let them see the vampires' repentance and pain after they turned back into humans, someone would definitely think this way, right?
Maybe...someone will even want to die.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” The former vampires cried loudly, “How could I do such a thing!!”
"I sucked my sister's blood dry. I killed my own sister!"
"I actually turned my trusted friend into a vampire and sent him to the front lines of the war between the regime and the vampire kingdom..."
"ah!!!"
Even the humans who hated vampires the most would feel a little shaken when they saw a vampire kneeling on the ground crying and repenting.
The "Ghost King Nightwing" who created the vampire kingdom and caused all this, nonchalantly played with his fingers that had regained their blood color, eager to bite his own blood vessels and taste the taste of his human self.
"Ghost King Nightwing" let the tears continue to flow. He no longer cared about these endless tears. Perhaps this was the flaw of the human race.
The Messiah watched the tragedies on earth, lowered his eyes and sighed silently.
The golden light in the sky had lost its solemnity at some point and turned into a warm golden light that seemed to be able to melt all the sadness and pain.
Warm golden light sprinkled on every corner of the vampire kingdom. The pens on the human ranches melted, the plants that had been burned to ashes sprouted new buds, and the anemic and weak human bodies gradually regained their strength.
The Messiah manipulated the energy to cleanse the land of the Vampire Kingdom. He did not make the sky rain gold directly as he had done before, but instead spent more effort to keep it in a state of light.
Golden rain has the same effect as light, but for the vampire kingdom that has been shrouded in dark clouds and has not seen the sun for a long time, light may bring some relief to these traumatized humans.
Even if it's just a little bit, it's worth it.
At this moment, Messiah's expression was particularly gentle, with softness showing in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
The ragged humans supported each other and walked out of the human pasture. The golden light healed all the wounds on their bodies, and the soothing warmth in it temporarily dispelled the haze in their hearts.
Behind them, the human pastures melted in the warm golden light, and the melting pens turned into a green field of grass.
The former vampire who was kneeling on the ground and crying looked up with tearful eyes and saw a sea of blooming flowers.
White roses bloomed on this human pasture where many corpses were buried.
Humans looked up at the sky.
After successfully liberating the vampire kingdom and healing everyone's wounds, the golden light in the sky still did not dissipate.
Messiah raised his palm and stretched out his hand towards the dark clouds above.
The golden light shone brightly, and the dazzling golden light gradually dispelled the dark clouds covering the sky of the Vampire Kingdom.
The dark smoke dissipated and the blue sky returned.
The sky was clear and blue, dotted with white clouds, and more importantly...
They saw the sun.
The golden light slowly dissipated. The human stretched out his hand, trying to grasp the disappearing golden light, but instead grasped another beam of equally bright light.
The warm and brilliant sunshine sprinkled on the earth, and the humans of the Vampire Kingdom finally saw the sun after a long time.
