Chapter 133: R: The Great Bat Incident (Part 10)

"Alright, now let's repeat our combat objective." Peter crouched on the roof of a building, Pikachu crouching on his shoulder, its ears blowing wildly in the wind on the roof.

"After preliminary reconnaissance, we have confirmed that the location of the commander of those bats should be underground in this block."

"It's daytime now, they must be hiding in some room not daring to come out. We need to coordinate with that vampire hunter called the Daywalker, and it would be best if we could take out their command post in one fell swoop."

Peter's gaze was firmly fixed on the street below the building, where there was a bar that looked closed during the day but had more than met the eye.

This was a contact point for a group of high-level vampires, and after the invasion began, it was chosen as the stronghold for the vampire commander.

"In a moment, the Daywalker will make some noise at the front door to attract their attention. I'm responsible for rushing in to carry out the decapitation strike, and you find a suitable opportunity to unleash your ultimate move..."

"Don't worry," Pikachu patted his chest and said, "The energy stored in my body is enough for me to unleash a 100,000-volt attack once. However, there's only one chance. You must use your positioning to force them to gather together so that we can maximize the damage effect."

Peter stretched out a spider silk to stick to the wall of the building across the street, and while swinging down, he said, "Watch me."

At this moment, a car at the entrance of the bar suddenly exploded. The wreckage of the car shattered the bar's glass directly. The commotion was not small. Within two minutes, several figures rushed out of the bar.

However, they didn't dare to show themselves on the street, but leaned against the wall of the bar building, hiding in the shadow of the building. Blade crouched behind a truck not far from the street, observing the situation, and muttered to himself, "This group of rats is still so timid, afraid of being exposed to even a little sunlight."

After speaking, he walked out directly carrying a submachine gun and swept the area. A few vampires were a bit panicked by the sudden attack and hurried to retreat into the bar, but soon reacted and teleported, appearing in the shadow behind Blade.

Blade was too familiar with this kind of routine; after all, he was also a half-vampire. He swung the machete in his other hand directly, cutting the vampire's arm with one strike.

This vampire didn't seem to be a native of New York and hadn't anticipated Blade's fighting style at all. Being cut, he screamed and turned into a bat, wanting to fly away.

But this was exactly what Blade wanted. He swung his machete, dropped the machine gun, and quickly pulled out a strange-looking pistol from his waist. Blue ice spikes were fired from the muzzle, directly hitting one of the bat's wings, instantly freezing the entire bat into a large ice block.

Other vampires, seeing this situation, rushed over to support, completely unaware that two figures had already sneaked into the back door of the bar.

Spider-Man originally wanted to break the window violently, but on the advice of the great detective Pikachu, he chose to pick the lock. Almost without making any noise, he and Pikachu appeared on the ground floor of the bar.

However, this floor was just a disguise; their true location was on the second basement level. Peter bent over and glanced down the stairs, saying, "I just counted, there used to be 5 vampires responsible for patrolling here, 4 just went out, and there should be one guarding the entrance to the second floor. We have to find a way to solve him."

"Use the freezing gun." Pikachu jumped from Peter's shoulder to the ground and incidentally took the freezing gun hanging from Peter's waist. He said, "I'm small, I'll walk along the blind spot of his vision and won't be discovered by him. In a moment, I'll go over and shoot him, freeze him, and before the ice block freezing him falls to the ground, you must catch him, don't make any noise."

Spider-Man gave him an OK gesture, and Pikachu, carrying the freezing gun that was a bit large for him, walked slowly along the corner of the stairs.

Just as they planned, the vampire guarding the door had just finished fighting at night and was now in bat form, hanging upside down from the rafters to rest.

Pikachu walked right in front of him, and he didn't notice at all. Pikachu felt a bit bored, raised his hand, and fired a shot. As a result, Peter didn't even need to take action; the freezing gun directly froze the bat to the rafters, it didn't fall, so there was no sound at all.

Peter walked down lightly, crouched outside the door, and looked into the room through the window on the door, finding two figures. He was just about to enter when he heard a fierce argument coming from the room.

"You really believe that group of humans' nonsense? Why don't you understand that it's completely made up by them to divide us!"

"You're the one who's stubborn! Don't you know what's circulating among them now? They say there's something in our blood that can make humans gain immortality. Do you know how dangerous this is?" A female voice came from the room.

"So what? Does this group of weak humans want to hunt the great blood clan? What ability do they have to do so? This group of fragile ants should have been food for higher-level life!"

"Deacon, your arrogance is simply shocking. It's those weak creatures you speak of who fought your elite troops on the bridge for a whole day and night!"

"Why do you still refuse to admit it? It's long past thousands of years ago. Do you think humans are still monkeys fighting each other with wooden sticks and stones?"

"They haven't changed at all!" Deacon's tone was full of contempt. "It's just that the wooden sticks and stones they wield have been replaced by guns and cannons. This race has a natural inferiority; they only know how to fight internally, and don't understand what unity is at all. Their weapons will only be thrown at their own people's heads!"

"I have used years of accumulation to bribe many human politicians. This group of people has no bottom line, and they don't even have loyalty to their own race. As long as they stand on our side, we can shake the human situation. As long as we drag it out until tonight, the entire Brooklyn area will be occupied by us."

"This is the district with the largest population in all of New York, which means my subordinates and I will have countless food, and our power will reach its peak."

"Stop dreaming." The female voice said coldly. "Can't you see it yet? Humans are already planning to unite as one. Do you know why?"

"They say we have factors in us that can extend their lifespan. Humans, this kind of short-lived species, will stop at nothing to live longer! You don't realize the severity of the problem at all!"

The female voice seemed to lose patience. She said, "I am representing the Elder Faction to warn you for the last time. Once your crazy actions bring destruction to our entire race, you will also be our enemy."

"You group of weaklings with no ambition!" Deacon said angrily. "We could have occupied this world! Let all humans become our slaves. Why are you just staying in one corner! Even hiding!"

"We do want to control human society, but this is for better enjoyment. Only they can create such a prosperous society, and we only need to manipulate it from the shadows."

"And you, you idiot with nothing but war in your head! You're about to ruin our plan! Do you know that the stupid prophecy you came up with seriously interfered with the Elder's next step!"

"We originally planned to unite in the next election to influence the election results. For this, we have already won over many people, including professors from several universities on the East Coast, as well as many medical workers and Wall Street financial personnel led by doctors from the Elder Council Hospital!"

"This power, even if it can't let us decide who the president is, at least it can control the legislature of a state!"

"That will be our base camp. Elder Sebastian has already laid out quite a bit of power in Hell's Kitchen in Brooklyn. We will control human society from both the upper and lower levels, and your stupid plan has exposed many people in advance! Now, whether you win or lose, the Elder Council won't let you go!"

"What infiltration plan! That's just an excuse for you to covet enjoyment." Deacon's voice became increasingly angry. "Hundreds of years ago, how glorious our race was!"

"We could plunder humans on the street without restraint, and we could dine wherever we wanted!"

"But ever since you group of appeasement waste negotiated with humans, we have had to hide. Some cowards among you are even willing to accept that non-fresh refrigerated blood. Now I don't want to endure it anymore!"

"The final decisive battle is tonight, and I will win! You don't understand at all how strong the Bat God's power is!"

"I think you're really crazy. You've been brainwashed by that set of mythological theories. Do you really believe there will be some Bat God to help you?"

"Heh." Deacon sneered and said, "If I didn't have certain assurance, do you think I would dare to defy the opposition of so many people in the clan and insist on launching this war?"

The firmness in his tone made the female vampire hesitate a bit. She said, "I advise you not to hold any delusions. Earth is not a place where just anyone dares to run wild. You are far from living as long as those elders. They once warned me to keep vigilant against all foreign beliefs..."

"Their cowardly remarks will be carved on their tombstones." Finally, Deacon said.

"Are you really sure the Bat God's power will descend?"

"Not only that, the Bat God will send his most capable guards to come here personally to help me, at the moment when the moonlight is strongest tonight. And those stupid humans don't know that the descent of the Bat God's guards doesn't require any ritual at all. Their tight defense is completely useless!"

"We will share this world with Him!"

Peter listened outside the door in a cold sweat. He held Pikachu, ran upstairs, and then quickly withdrew from the bar. Blade had solved the vampires besieging him quite quickly. Seeing Peter run out, he said, "What's going on? You finished them off so quickly?"

Peter looked into Blade's eyes and said, "Regarding the Bat God, what else do you know?"

"What's wrong?" Blade asked, seeing his face didn't look good.

"Just now I heard the conversation of the vampire leaders underground. One of them, the person leading this war, mentioned that the Bat God's power will descend when the moonlight is strongest tonight."

Peter's tone was very firm. Blade frowned and said, "That's impossible. This prophecy and the so-called Bat God should be something they made up."

Looking at Peter's skeptical gaze, Blade said firmly, "You should know that I'm also a half-vampire. The difference between me and them is that my mother was turned by a vampire, but in the process of my growth, I also participated in the internal affairs of this race. The Bat God is a saying that has only spread in the last few hundred years."

"This goes back to a negotiation that took place in Kunlun about a few hundred years ago."

Then, Peter learned from Blade about the unknown past of this race.

Hundreds of years ago, vampires had a war with humans, but unlike this time, the conflict with vampires was with extraordinary humans, and the battlefield at that time was on the Eastern Continent. Europe also sparked some wars, but only the entire Americas stayed out of it, so people here didn't know much about that war.

The process doesn't need to be detailed, it's just that the radical vampires of that year were almost killed by extraordinary humans. Finally, the immortal Count Dracula came forward to negotiate with humans. The location of the negotiation was in Kunlun.

Since then, the vampire's policy of seclusion has been implemented. In Asia and Europe, there are specialized reconnaissance agencies to ensure that vampires living in seclusion in human society will not cause too much damage to the entire society.

But ambitious people are everywhere and will appear in every era. The new vampires were very dissatisfied with this humiliating treaty, and the representative figure among them was Deacon.

Simply put, it's that they hadn't been beaten before and thought they were particularly capable.

Blade said to Peter, "The belief in the Bat God appeared with the gradual growth of this batch of new radical vampires. This belief is essentially fabricated by them for their own aggressive concepts. Before this, there was never such a saying."

"If there really were this god, then he could never have only appeared for a few hundred years and have such powerful strength. And I've heard from some old vampire hunters that there has always been mysterious power protecting the Earth, and it's not just any creature that dares to call itself a god here."

Finally, Blade concluded, "I think they might have been deceived by some extraordinary creature with powerful strength. This creature might call itself a god and then show them some miracles. They foolishly agreed to summon him. This is a very dangerous thing; they are seeking their own death."

"The problem now is, will this god really descend?" Peter's face was very serious. He said, "Those crazy bats will definitely launch a full-scale attack once night falls. If there is any powerful creature descending at this time, humanity will definitely not be able to withstand it, and the losses will be very heavy."

"Humans have the determination to withstand these monsters regardless of the losses, but what we need to do is to reduce these losses as much as possible." Peter's tone was very firm. He continued, "I think we need to investigate further."

"I plan to kill Deacon. As long as Deacon is killed, no one will preside over that kind of summoning ritual, and that guy who calls himself a god naturally won't be able to descend," Blade said.

Spider-Man fell into that very clear tactical thinking again. He stopped Blade and said, "No, there's more than one radical. Let alone whether we can completely kill this vampire, even if we kill him, his subordinates will do the same. According to what you said, there are quite a few of them. Before night comes, we can't kill them all."

"From the content of the conversation I heard, that woman might be a representative of the moderate faction. I heard them say there's a plan to control human society in secret. What's going on with that?"

"That's normal," Blade curled his lips. "Vampires have never been creatures that live under others. They choose to live in seclusion temporarily, but it's only because they were beaten painfully hundreds of years ago, and then changed their way of aggression."

"Is the conflict between the radical faction and the moderate faction deep?"

"Of course, just like what you just heard. The moderate faction intends to accumulate strength and gradually control human society from the shadows, but the one mess after another caused by the radical faction always makes their plans fail. Human vigilance is getting stronger and stronger, infinitely slowing down the process of them achieving their goals." ===== CHAPTER 134 =====
