Actually, the Blood God had already cleared out the members of the Wizard Society in the castle.
However.
When he saw Selene break through the bloodline suppression and attack his superior Vampire, he immediately developed a strong interest in this "low-level" Vampire.
So he hid in the dark and observed.
But who would have thought?
At the moment of life and death.
A terrifying aura, one that even he feared, surged from Selene's body.
Before this.
He had only felt that terrifying aura from My Lord Lilith, the Mother of Demons.
Fortunately, this energy came and went quickly…
"I can still smell traces of an inferior bloodline on you, but undeniably, your body seems to be evolving towards a more perfect state."
A greedy light suddenly flickered in the Blood God's eyes, and he continued with ill intent:
"Although there are many ways for low-level Vampires to break through the shackles of their bloodline, no longer fear sunlight, and advance to a higher level.
But to reach the level you are at now, perhaps only the Evolutionary Blood recorded in the book of darkness… no, the book of darkness, can achieve it!!"
"You are… Deacon Frost?!"
Selene's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and she reached for her gun, ready to attack.
But the Blood God's figure was like a ghost, leaving a series of afterimages behind him.
In the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters and appeared in front of Selene.
Then he grabbed her by the neck and asked with a sinister smile:
"If you obediently tell me where the person with the Evolutionary Blood is, not only will I not kill you, but I can even bestow my blood upon you to help you accelerate your advancement."
"Bah… dream on."
Even though Selene struggled with all her might, it was still useless.
This Vampire in front of her was a much higher-level existence than Victor.
She simply couldn't contend with him on her own.
So Selene began to pray silently in her heart.
Hoping to be granted that mysterious and powerful force again.
But a miracle did not occur…
However, just then, Selene suddenly saw a red dot on the Blood God's forehead, and immediately changed her uncooperative demeanor, smiling cunningly:
"Okay, I can tell you now… if you're still alive to hear it."
"Hmm? What do you mean… Poof!!"
The Blood God's question was not yet finished when his head exploded like a watermelon smashed with great force.
Then Frank's urging voice came from the darkness in the distance, "Miss Selene, it's time to go, the Vampire army will rush out of the castle soon… What?!"
Just as Frank was about to get up and put away his gun, he saw a horrifying scene through his scope.
The Blood God's head, which had just exploded.
Actually reformed under the fusion of a mass of bloody red blood.
And provocatively cast his gaze in Frank's direction.
To fight?
To flee?
The answer was self-evident.
Putting aside Selene's indescribable relationship with his boss.
Actually, after Victor was killed, Frank could have just left.
But unfortunately, the topic of their conversation shifted to Karl…
Although Frank didn't know what the Evolutionary Blood was exactly.
But anyone with eyes could see that Selene became stronger after intimate contact with the Boss.
So this matter must be related to Karl!
In this case, Frank couldn't just leave casually.
Because in his mind.
Any threat that could endanger his boss's personal safety should be eliminated immediately.
Even if he knew the opponent's strength was exceptionally powerful.
He still had to try.
No choice…
Who told the Boss to give so much!!
Frank was certain, absolutely certain, that he would never encounter such a generous boss again.
So even if he completely disregarded the kindness of saving his wife and children before.
When it came to just money, Frank was still willing to risk his life for Karl.
Perhaps this was the brilliance of the "Art of Subordination" that Karl had always practiced?!
"Come on, Vampire scum… Let me see how capable you really are."
Then Frank pulled the trigger again.
However.
The moment the bullet flew out of the barrel, the Blood God's figure had already transformed into a series of afterimages, appearing in front of him.
And at the same time, Selene's cry of alarm reached Frank's ears a beat later.
"Be careful~~"
Clearly, the Blood God's speed had exceeded the speed of sound.
But years of high-intensity military life, rich combat experience, and countless life-and-death crises had long honed Frank's combat instincts to perfection.
Almost the instant the Blood God appeared.
Frank rolled to the left, towards a large tree.
Along the way, he successfully triggered the traps he had set in advance.
And with incredibly skilled tactical movements, he drew his gun and fired while rolling.
The entire action was smooth and fluid, showcasing the demeanor of a military king.
Boom boom boom—!!!
Da da da—
Several UV grenades pre-positioned around them exploded.
The dazzling blue-purple light instantly engulfed the Blood God's figure.
If it were any other Vampire, they would have probably been taken down directly by Frank's combo.
But at this moment, he was facing a powerful demon from a Hell Dimension…
No matter how elite a human warrior, they cannot contend with such a "supernatural" existence!!
"It's useless."
The Blood God grinned hideously, the fatal wounds from the bullets piercing his forehead and chest healing rapidly at a visible speed.
"Human weapons cannot kill me, because… I am a God!!"
As his voice rang out, the Blood God's claws had already pierced Frank's chest.
Then, like throwing trash, he threw Frank far away.
"Alright, now let's continue our previous topic?!"
The Blood God's figure reappeared in front of Selene, raising his hand to grab her neck, lifting her into the air, and pressing her with a ferocious gaze:
"Tell me… where is the Red Slayer who possesses the Evolutionary Blood?!"
Only then did Selene recover from the shock of Frank's apparent death.
But the fear on her face gradually dissipated, and she stared at the Blood God with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man, saying:
"You're dead, Boss will never let you go!!"
"Hehehehe…"
The Blood God mocked indifferently: "I think you should worry about your own life first?!"
However.
Almost no one noticed.
At this moment, Frank, who had been thrown into the gutter and was on the verge of death, was suddenly enveloped by a holy radiance that ordinary human eyes could not perceive.
And on his forehead, a special eight-pointed star-shaped "rune" gradually appeared.
The corners located at the "North" and "Northwest" positions, respectively, glowed with a holy golden light and an exhilarating red light.
However, the golden light in the "North" direction was clearly brighter!!
...
...
Above New York.
Inside the Sky Carrier's Bridge.
Nick Fury watched the scene unfolding below through the surveillance, his expression becoming increasingly complex.
When did Deacon Frost become so powerful?
Previously, he had clearly sent people to investigate his background in detail.
This Deacon Frost was just a crazy half-breed with no ability, no brains… and who kept clamoring to destroy humanity.
He was simply not worth worrying about.
But now…
"Officer, Captain America is asking if we should take advantage of the enemy fighting each other to a draw and encircle that Vampire now?"
Maria Hill asked.
"No, let them wait!!"
Nick Fury leaned forward, his single eye fixed on Deken in the image, and said in a heavy tone:
"There's something strange about this guy, something we don't know must have happened…"
"And what exactly do the Evolutionary Blood and Red Slayer that those two Vampires just mentioned mean?!"
"Until we figure these things out, no one is allowed to act rashly…"
Both sides suffer?
Captain, please don't make such jokes, okay?
Why do I see a one-sided crushing?
Even a military king like Frank Castle was utterly powerless against Deacon Frost.
How could Nick Fury let his subordinates rush in to die at such a time?
After all… even these field Agents below Level 3 were all "50 dollars each" cannon fodder in his eyes!
But temp workers' lives are still lives.
Most importantly, the contract clearly stipulated that S.H.I.E.L.D. had to pay a portion of the compensation if a temp worker died!
How could Nick Fury do such a money-losing business?
Nowadays, thanks to that bastard Karl, even the landlord's family is running out of food, okay…
What's more, it's no exaggeration to say that if we compare them purely on a combat level.
Aside from Captain America, who is the human limit, at the scene.
Within S.H.I.E.L.D., neither Hawkeye nor Black Widow were strong enough to contend with Frank.
If it escalated to a tactical level, these people wouldn't even see Frank's exhaust fumes.
But such a powerful military king was instantly killed by Deacon Frost.
Are you scared or not?
Thinking of this.
Nick Fury couldn't help but feel inexplicably annoyed.
(╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻
New York… no, what's wrong with this era?
Why do I encounter a Boss-level elite monster when I'm just farming a low-level Vampire dungeon?
Are we ordinary players not allowed to participate in the game anymore?!
...
...
At the same time.
At the Life Foundation Headquarters in Queens, New York.
A figure shimmering with golden light, like a meteor, streaked across the dark night sky and rapidly descended in front of the Life Foundation building.
The person who arrived was Karl!
He simply walked directly through the main entrance of the building as if no one else was there.
And the few guards responsible for security in the lobby seemed to not even see this stranger who suddenly appeared.
They were still chatting and laughing about some celebrity gossip.
Not only them, but even the guards patrolling fixed points in various areas all ignored Karl when they encountered him, as if he were invisible.
"Hmm?"
Karl walked all the way to the floor where the Alien Symbiote was stored.
Just as he was about to control the patrolling guards nearby to open the laboratory's access control, his attention was drawn by a message that suddenly flashed across the light screen.
"Detected collectible souls, Warp souls + 1"
???
"What's going on?"
Karl frowned slightly, looking at the record on the light screen with a bewildered expression, "I clearly didn't kill anyone along the way?"
The reason he was so surprised.
Was because ever since he began implementing the "Real-World Version · Fun-Seeker Plan"
After multiple explorations and attempts.
Karl had roughly figured out the general pattern.
Although his loyal subordinates could collect a large amount of Prestige for him after causing a huge impact.
There was one thing that could never be done by proxy.
That is… plundering the souls of the killed!
Unless Karl, the Dimension Master, personally took action, no matter how many casualties were caused, the number of plundered souls would not increase.
But this newly appeared prompt broke the rule he had repeatedly verified before!
However.
Just as he was about to investigate further.
A piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the laboratory, directly interrupting his thoughts.
"Forget it, I'll take the Venom Symbiote first, then go back and study it slowly!"
Karl immediately walked into the laboratory.
After a few steps, he saw a scruffy middle-aged man frantically banging on the protective glass door of an isolation chamber with a fire extinguisher.
The alarm system was accidentally triggered by his reckless actions.
Karl was not unfamiliar with this middle-aged man; he was Eddie Brock, the former reporter who had just been fired by the TV station due to a failed interview.
He was here at the request of Dr. Skirth.
To secretly collect evidence of the Life Foundation's illegal Alien Symbiote human experiments using homeless people.
However…
I say, big brother.
That isolation chamber can even withstand the impact of an Alien Symbiote.
This isn't a movie, why do you think a fire extinguisher can smash it, huh?!
"Move aside, let me do it."
Karl came to the isolation chamber where the Venom Symbiote was located.
He directly ignored a bewildered Eddie Brock, and with a flash of golden light in his eyes, he used his Cyclops to shatter the bulletproof glass in front of him.
Then, he immediately turned to the side, elegantly dodging the female test subject who lunged out from inside.
There was no choice, the stench emanating from her was simply suffocating.
Unfortunately, Eddie Brock behind him was not as lucky; he was immediately tackled to the ground by the female test subject.
Then, she went insane, straddling him and desperately choking his neck.
"Oh, God, Maria, stop, I can't breathe anymore…"
