Chapter 8: Space Gate.
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Surrounding the vast castle of the Vampire King were walls of gray stone. There is no road to get there; the mountain area is just craggy cliffs.
But the cliff is only dangerous to humans, and with its strength, vampires can reach the castle quickly.
Inside the vast castle lit by torches embedded in the stone walls, the Vampire King sat on a throne, wielding a black sword, watching his subordinates stand below.
"Ten days after, Genesis will open the space portal for us to live in another land. What's your opinion?"
The vampires immediately started cursing humans and Genesis. They were so angry that everyone's eyes were as red as blood.
A man with silver hair raised his hand to signal the vampires to be quiet, then stepped forward to stand in front of the throne.
"My venerable king, the earth is ours; we should fight the Genesis for dominion."
"Against the Genesis?" A middle-aged man in a red robe stepped up from the crowd. "You should remember, Genesis created all things. To fight him, we need the help of another god."
"We should pray to the Dark God." The silver-haired man exclaimed. "The only one who always confronts the Creator is the Dark God. Those lowly humans can pray to the Creator, so why can't we pray to the Dark One?"
"Humans must trade many things to beg the Genesis. If we want to ask the Dark God for help, we have to make a trade-off." The Vampire King said, his eyes filled with hatred. "Cowardly humans, I will kill them all if given a chance."
"My noble king, what is the trade-off?" The man in the red robe looked up at the throne and waited for an answer.
"Those who ask for the help of the Dark God must pay with their souls. If we give our souls to the Dark God, we will no longer be free."
All vampires immediately fell silent. They all know that life will have no meaning if freedom is lost.
"My noble king, if I trade my freedom to retain my place on earth, I would rather go to a new land. We have the power; we can conquer and master that land just like our ancestors conquered the species on earth." The man in the red robe said.
The Vampire King, leaning the tip of his sword on the ground, asked.
"Anyone else has an idea?"
The man's words in red were what the vampires wanted to say. Vampires are naturally arrogant and belligerent, and none want to lose their powers. If they have to live weakly and become a species below humans, let humans control them, they would instead go elsewhere to be the hegemon.
When no one answered, the Vampire King straightened up and roared:
"We cannot fight Genesis, nor do we want to sell our souls to the Dark God. So the best way is that we follow the arrangement of Genesis. We have the power; we can go anywhere and control that place. Do you agree to leave the earth to keep your power?"
The vampires immediately shouted, "We agree!"
"If you have agreed, prepare what you want to bring. Ten days later, we will leave the earth."
...
The Vampire King stood in the middle of the square, waiting for the arrival of the Creator. Around him were a crowd of young and old vampires and carts laden with belongings. They not only stood on the square but also stood on the main streets of the ruined city, even jumping on the collapsed houses.
Vampires have a much longer lifespan than humans. In return, they breed very little, so the vampire population is not much. Even though they were all concentrated, the number was only half the population of a regular city.
When the sun rose high, in the clear blue sky without a single cloud, suddenly thunder sounded, and white lightning made everyone startle in terror. Next, a giant gate radiating aura appeared in the middle of the ruined plaza.
"The space gate only opens once. From now until the sun goes down, I will close it. Please enter this gate quickly; those who do not make it in time will accept to stay on earth with a body that has no strength." The voice of Genesis resounded across the sky.
The Vampire King angrily looked up at the sky, gritted his teeth, and shouted:
"Genesis, I hate you, I hate humans. I should have killed all those vile humans."
"If you don't take your time, there won't be a chance." A cold voice resounded in the air.
The aura from the gate diminished. When there was no more light, they saw beyond the gate a desolate wasteland of barren gravel, with occasional strange tree trunks sprouting from the crevices of the rocks.
The Vampire King roared indignantly again. "Creator, why did you bring us to such a wasteland? Did you cut off our way of life for the sake of vile humans?"
The voice of Genesis came down from the sky. "You should remember, you are taking my punishment. Do you want to stay on earth under human domination? Or do you want to own a new land?"
Although he wanted to kill the Creator if he could afford it, the Vampire King had no other choice now. He stood aside and ordered his clansman to pass through the portal.
Vampires carry carts loaded with belongings passed through the portal to a new land. When they had almost reached the other side of the gate, suddenly, a young vampire ran up to the Vampire King's side and said anxiously:
"My noble king, Prince Nolan, has not yet arrived."
"Why hasn't he come yet? Let's bring more staffing to find him before the gate closes." The Vampire King impatiently ordered.
The young vampire watched nervously as the sun set in the west. He and the other vampires hurriedly split up to find Prince Nolan.
The Vampire King patiently stood in front of the space portal, waiting for his son.
When the sun began to set behind the mountains, all the vampires and their wagons passed through the portal. Only the group of young vampires and Prince Nolan have yet to appear.
The setting sun made the Vampire King extremely impatient. He jumped onto the roof of the tallest building left in the city, waiting for his son.
Suddenly from afar, a giant black shadow rushed forward and flew into the space portal. The Vampire King happily ran after it, shouting:
"Unique. Did you bring Nolan?"
The great black shadow did not stop, it continued to fly in the new land, but the Vampire King saw no one on its back. When he turned around in panic, the space gate had closed and disappeared before his eyes.
"Genesis!" The Vampire King roared angrily. "My son hasn't come yet. Open the gate!"
The gate did not appear despite his screams, and the god of Creation did not answer him. In front of him was the barren land of stones and the vampire clans waiting for his direction.

"We are descendants of the people left on earth, so we no longer have the power of the original vampire, am I right?" After hearing the story three thousand years ago, Uri glanced at Finn."We have not only lost our strength, but also our ancestors' aggressive and killing nature." Finn replied, then added: "Although Genesis stripped us of our power, we still retain our speed, longevity, and eyes that can see in the dark.""Because they lost their power and became better than their ancestors, even better than many human beings, so I opposed the existence of the Red Leaf organization," Clement said."Dad, can you tell me more about the Red Leaf organization?" Uri curiously asked Clement."After the portal closed, humans discovered that some vampires still exist on earth. They knew that Genesis had stripped vampires of their powers, so they hunted down and killed these vampires for revenge." Clement continued the story."To make this more effective, h

Finn was silent for a moment, carefully choosing his words before continuing:"After the dimensional portal closed, not only did Prince Nolan and his minions remain on earth, some distant vampires did not receive the information, nor were they able to arrive in time to pass through the portal.""The prince has gathered everyone to the castle in the mountains to fight together against humanity's revenge. One night, the prince heard the voice of the Creator. He told the prince that he had left the key to the space portal. If we find it, we have a chance to reach a new land.""The key to the space gate?" Uri whispered in surprise. "Is there that key?""I don't know, but we believe in it to have a living hope, better than no hope," Finn replied sadly.Uri thought for a moment, then wondered. "For three thousand years, no one has found that key. Why don't you guys find another way?""Our previous generations sought to compromise with humanity so that we could live peacefully with them. But

After reaching the edge of the forest, Clement drove the car he had hidden in a nearby bush, leaving the forest. Uri jumped on a tall tree and watched until the car disappeared on the road leading to the city."Let's go. Even if you want, you can't live with your family; we must accept this fact." Finn jumped up and stood beside Uri on the tree branch, admonishing.Uri's gaze did not leave the tall buildings of the distant city. The city was where he had lived all these years. There he had family, friends, and dreams of attending medical school and becoming a doctor."I want to go home." Uri snorted, trying not to let the tears flow.Finn patted Uri on the shoulder. "Calm down. We all want to live happily like humans. But you know, they don't want us to exist."Uri lowered his eyes; he understood that. He didn't want to accept this cruel truth. But now, there was nothing he could do, and he sadly followed Finn back to the dense forest.Returning to the wooden house, Uri opened his bac

Uri stayed in the mountain cave for two days, then returned to the wooden house. It was his rendezvous with Clement, so he wanted to be there often so he could see Clement when he arrived. Finn continues to accompany Uri to the wooden house. After all, Uri was still an inexperienced child; he desperately needed help from others. With his extensive experience, Finn and Uri carefully inspect the forest; he wants to help Uri get used to how to protect himself. After ensuring there weren't any strangers in the woods, they went to the wooden house. From that day on, Uri went to the edge of the forest every night and hid in the treetops waiting for Clement's arrival. Finn doesn't stop him; he sympathizes with Uri's feelings. It was late at night, and the dew fell on the trees, making the air cold. Finn jumped onto a high branch, standing beside Uri. He looked at the empty road that ran through the forest, sighed, and said: "It's late at night; your father isn't here. We should go back t

Uri turned the pages of the ancient book; he had read carefully the books Anthea had brought. The content of the two books about vampires was similar to what he had read in school. And in particular, there is no information that the Red Leaf organization has hidden. As for the book about the creator god, there were some important information, so he wanted to ask Clement. Half a month later, Clement and Anthea arrived at the bungalow in Uri's impatience and anticipation, this time, they also brought him lots of food. Sitting in a wooden house without candlelight, Anthea hugged Uri's arm in fear. "Why don't you light a candle? I'm afraid of the dark." "Should not." Clement immediately objected. "Having light will easily attract the attention of others. Your brother, his friend, and I are here; what are you afraid of?" Anthea did not dare to ask for more. She sat quietly beside Uri, listening to the stories of the men. "In the book about the creator god, I saw a passage about how m

From the gate, security forces check visitors; there are also many careful guards around and inside the museum.The National Museum in the city center has a classical style with elaborately carved granite pillars; giant paintings painted hundreds of years ago on the curved domes.Uri wore oversized sunglasses that covered most of his face; he was standing in the crowd lined up in front of the museum's entrance, waiting to get inside. He looked around and was pretty relieved when he did not see the appearance of men with red leaf-shaped badges on their lapels. He tried to stay calm, like a resident visiting a museum.After presenting his ID card, he went through the gate very smoothly and followed the group of visitors into the large hall of the museum, here displaying many artifacts with a long history. The museum was large, and it took him a long time to find a place to display the ancient book,

Uri arrived at the wooden house, opened the bag, and dumped everything on the table. In addition to the golden book, there were several other precious treasures."How did you get them?" Finn looked at the treasures on the table in amazement."Just when I arrived at the museum, a group of robbers stole these treasures. I followed and took the treasure from them." Uri replied.Finn picked up the book; it was gold, so even though it was about the size of a paper book, it was pretty heavy. "Is this the book you want?""That's it." Uri happily replied. "Just when I couldn't think of a way to read it, someone stole it.""Fortunately, so let's see what's inside this book." Finn began to turn the pages.Although the ancient script was difficult to read, Uri and Finn understood it. This book recounts the war between humans and demons three thousand years ago. Then Genesis drove the demons back to their dark world, and humans became the masters of the earth."This is the war between the humans

Uri immediately stuffed all the artifacts into his backpack and slung it over his shoulder, dragging Clement outside. But Clement jerked his hand back, pushing Uri to the door."You and Finn go now; they are besieging the area. They dare not do anything to me, don't worry about me; protect yourself!""Your father is right; let him stay here. They dare not harm him. We need to get out of here; I feel many people are coming." Finn said, then took Uri's hand and ran fast into the dense forest.Moments later, a group of about twenty men approached and surrounded him when Clement had gone a short distance from the log house. A scar-faced man led the group, who wore red leaf badges on their lapels."Hello, Clement." Richard crossed his arms and stood in front of Clement. "Oh, hello Richard, what are you doing here?" Clement paused, calmly looking at Richard and the group of people surrounding him.Richard sneered, "So what are you here for?""I go for a walk," Clement replied. "Is it illeg

Uri doesn't need to wait for a long time. After he woke up, the door of the room opened. In front of the door appeared two men wearing white suits, white shoes, and white hats covering their faces, looking very similar to the clothes of the staff in the laboratory.They silently entered the room and pushed out the bed that Uri was lying on. It is the type of bed usually used in the hospital emergency room; the four legs of the bed have wheels for easy movement.Uri looked up at the two men and asked:"Where are you taking me?"The two men didn't seem to hear him; they didn't answer but silently pushed the bed along a corridor lit only by a few electric light bulbs hanging from the ceiling.The hallway had no windows, only light from electric bulbs, so Uri didn't know if it was day or night. The sound of wheels grinding against the brickwork and the electric light strained his spirits.Uri felt that the corridor seemed to lead underground because the path was sloping down and revolved

Uri appeared to Clement's astonishment and fear. He rushed forward and pushed Uri away, and shouted:"Get out of here now!"Uri didn't do what Clement wanted; he looked at Richard resolutely. "I have come at your request. Let go of my sister!""Very good!" Richard laughed. "We will release your sister. But I don't trust you and your father. If you want to save your sister, you must let us give you an anesthetic.""Can not," Clement shouted. "Uri, they are liars; you must not believe them. Get out of here now!""Dad!" Uri looked at Clement. "Thank you for worrying about me. But I don't want Anthea to go to prison. I want to save her.""I won't let you do that; I can think of another way." Clement grabbed Uri. "Let's go now!"Two men rushed over and grabbed Clement's hands. He angrily twisted his elbow and hit a man in the stomach. The two men immediately restrained him with force, pinned him to the ground, and clasped his hands behind his back.Richard walked in front of Uri, smiling.
