Chapter 1335

Vampire Third City, Sangunaim.

In the most opulent hall at the center of Sangunaim, Kluu sat with one hand propping her cheek, wearing a gothic lolita dress and a headpiece resembling black bat wings, her brows tightly furrowed.

"... What could possibly explain this virtual interface that suddenly appeared in my mind?"

"Is it an illusion?"

Kluu's gaze instantly sharpened; she placed her hand over her forehead, fell silent for a moment, then opened her eyes again and shook her head.

"It's not an illusion! Could Fried or Rest have done this?"

"No! Seventh Ancestor Fried cannot accomplish such a thing."

Even if Rest... if he truly could manipulate my mental domain like this, he could never be a Third Ancestor equal to me."

"Besides, he's never shown any hint of such ability before..."

Kluu licked her lips, her gaze flickering uncertainly.

"Second Ancestor... or Father... there's no reason.

They have no motive to act against me! Or no time to do so..."

As Kluu thought deeper, her expression grew colder; suddenly she clenched her Yaguan, seized Anubis beside her, crushed it violently, then angrily hurled it away.

She made her decision.

"Forget it! First, I'll test it.

If I truly sense something wrong, I'll use emergency measures to deal with it.

I am the Third Ancestor! Do I really fear some random interface that appeared in my mind?"

Exhaling a 563-count breath, Kluu leaned back against her Wang Zuo, closed her eyes, and entered the guild chatroom in her mind.

...... Arcueid: "Another vampire joined? Vampire Queen! Is she also a female vampire?"

Arcueid: "Welcome to the vampire army!"

Arquid: "Interesting! Not a True Ancestor, but a Vampire King? I wonder if he shares similarities with me."

Arquid now felt interest too; having spent time in the guild, he had gained sufficient understanding of Arcueid and grasped the meaning of "True Ancestor."

He knew clearly that he was a Vampire King, but not a True Ancestor.

He was still vastly inferior to the Ancestor of Dead Apostles.

Of course... if he truly pushed himself to the limit, he could unleash an extremely terrifying combat power.

Whether Arcueid at her peak could match him was uncertain... but most Dead Apostle Ancestors in the Type-Moon world would fare poorly against him.

Nangong Nayue: "..."

Nangong Nayue's brows twitched; it seemed events were unfolding precisely as she had initially suspected.

After a brief silence, she sighed.

"Yet, the newcomer this time doesn't seem to be a True Ancestor! And Arquid isn't one either... what a pity..."

"If they were both True Ancestors, the guild would already possess enough True Ancestors to rival the three besides the Fourth True Ancestor."

A strange thought flashed through Nangong Nayue's mind; she chuckled silently, shook her head, and took another sip of her black tea.

Bai Hu Zi: "Gulalala! Another new member has joined! Welcome, newcomer.

And I hope this time you bring a truly excellent anime."

Lao Fu Shi Hou Jue: "... Another vampire? I had hoped the new member would be a god or something similar."

Tony Bu Shi Shoufu: "Old Hou Jue wants to fight gods from another world?"

Lao Fu Shi Hou Jue: "Sort of! Though the guild already has Loki."

Thor! But Loki is a sealed-up worthless god.

Zero combat power! Thor... he's not a proper god."

"I fought him once before! Lost interest."

Lao Fu Shi Hou Jue: "Damn it! If it weren't for Atreus, I'd have gone to her world."

I really wanted to spark a Ragnarök in her world too!"

Pure White Spirit Master: "..."

Ichihō Tsū: "The old man's words are truly domineering."

"After all, the old man's strength is no longer what it was when he first joined; his confidence has exploded. It's not unreasonable for him to think he can unleash chaos in the Ba Zhanshen world."

Su Xiao Xiao: "... If Old Hou Jue really wants to, I suggest you ask Changmen Yuki."

Then see if you can enter the Ryōko Harusaki world and challenge Ryōko Harusaki herself... the True God."

Lao Fu Shi Hou Jue: "..."

Lao Fu Shi Hou Jue: "After thinking it over, I realize a man shouldn't be too impulsive! Constantly thinking of killing is too violent.

It doesn't help longevity! Cultivating inner peace is better."

Levi: "... So this is cowardly retreat?"

Tony Bu Shi Shoufu: "How can you call it cowardice? This is called... strategic withdrawal! Playing it safe! Pfft hahaha!"

Lao Fu Shi Hou Jue: "..."

Sakata Ginji: "So, no one's curious about the new member's true identity? Even Gin-san is dying to know, yet you're all so calm! This isn't scientific."

Fourth Hokage: "Under these circumstances, the usual procedure is to call the leader... Su Xiao Xiao."

Su Xiao Xiao: "... Calling me won't help! The new member only has a crude alias: 'Vampire Queen.' And if she ignores my announcements, she'll just change it to her real name."

Su Xiao Xiao: "She's currently in a submerged state! If I could know her identity, I'd be seeing ghosts."

Su Han says he's powerless too—the information revealed is too scarce.

Wo De Mei Mei Chao Bu Ke Ai: "So even the leader isn't omniscient."

Su Xiao Xiao: "... When did I ever say I was omniscient? Don't impose your own imagined assumptions onto me."

I'm not Altair, going along with others constantly making fanworks and adding lore.

One's own abilities can continuously increase.

Altair: "Someone calls me... the President? The President calls me—what is it?"

Su Xiao Xiao: "... Nothing! You can sink now."

Altair: "..."
