At the southern end of Nalathel, the territory governed by the Vampire Brotherhood.

This is a land that looks very splendid and tidy, but at the same time, it is extremely desolate. It is very different from the northern half of Nalathel, which is under the rule of the Demon's Hand Guild. However, it is not much different from other lands under vampire rule in the multiverse.

The splendor is because the vampires consider themselves nobles, and nobles naturally need splendor. Splendid attire, splendid jewelry, splendid crowns, splendid thrones, splendid palaces, red carpets, oil paintings, crystal chandeliers, gilded railings, marble sculptures...

The vampires who control half of Nalathel are not short of money. This city, situated at the bend of the River Styx, is a strategically valuable and commercially rich city. At the same time, the vampires do not have a lower class to share their wealth. They control the loading, unloading, and offshore trade at the docks. The undead who do the hard labor do not need to be paid a single cent or eat a single piece of black bread.

They are the most obedient and can be exploited without limit, making them the best laborers. The vampires, who control this wealth, can quickly build the clean cities, luxurious residences, and various temples, grand monuments, and giant sculptures they like.

As for tidiness, this is also not hard to understand. The number of vampires is very small, so they cannot cause much pollution. As for the undead under their command, they do not have the habit of spitting, defecating, urinating, littering, or wiping their noses. It is only natural that the undead neighborhoods are tidy.

Of course, this is also due to the discriminatory policy they enforce: "No devils or dogs allowed." Otherwise, no matter how hard the vampires try, the southern part of Nalathel would not escape its fate.

This makes the protagonist, the succubus, very, very, very unhappy.

As a穿越者 (穿越者 means someone who has traveled through time or space, often to a different world), she naturally finds the dirt, disorder, and poor conditions of the northern part very unpleasant. She naturally yearns for the clean and tidy southern part. Unfortunately, the southern part is patrolled by undead city management teams, known as "urban management," who wear red armbands. Whenever they see someone trying to sneak in, they immediately attack without a word.

Of course, this does not mean that the succubus cannot defeat these scoundrels.

Whether they are skeletons, ghouls, or ghosts, the succubus can easily and happily defeat them, one by one. She treats it as a way to accumulate experience points and to avenge the small merchants and vendors of her previous life... although those unlicensed vendors who fried rat meat with gutter oil were not exactly good people.

However, the problem is that even if she kills all these scoundrels, it does not solve any problems. For the vampires, the undead slaves are of no value. Especially low-level scoundrels like skeletons, ghouls, and ghosts; they do not care how many die.

After the succubus cuts down these scoundrels, it is only natural that the vampires will notice and launch a stronger counterattack—although low-level undead are not valuable, it is not good if something dirty comes in and dirties the flowers and plants at home.

Therefore, the succubus is not a fool. She is already at odds with a major local power in Nalathel, the Demon's Hand Guild. If she were to provoke another major power, the Vampire Brotherhood, how could she continue to survive in Nalathel?

So, in the end, apart from muttering that the vampires are all bad and are racists, and holding up a sign that reads "Equality, Freedom, Fraternity" at the edge of the southern part and shouting slogans, the succubus can do nothing else.

Or perhaps the vampire capitalists are numb, or perhaps her demon compatriots are not enlightened enough. The succubus's passionate demonstration did not resonate with anyone in Nalathel. After wandering around for two days and being treated as a lunatic, she had to slink back to the northern part to find a hotel and sleep.

That's how it is. After dealing with the succubus, the southern part controlled by the vampires remains a haven in the Abyss. Not a single demon is there.

This can almost be considered a miracle. In other parts of the Abyss, which are not under demon control, those paladins, angels, upper-plane expeditionary forces, and other various good, evil, neutral, lawful, and chaotic beings, would be envious and jealous upon learning of this situation.

However, the vampire capitalists are not satisfied. Like all hypocritical, evil, and scoundrelly evil undead, their desires are endless. They not only want to control the other half of Nalathel but also the entire Santatos. They even want to spread their influence throughout the entire Abyss.

This strategic goal is indeed grand and worthy of the vampires' arrogance. Unfortunately, this goal is too grand and difficult to achieve. The gap between reality and ideals inevitably leads to setbacks for the vampires.

These scoundrels naturally do not admit that this is due to their high aspirations and low abilities. They also do not admit that they are wrong. Therefore, the vampires are quite sensitive to words like "failure" and "impossible." The feeling is similar to that of the Japanese during World War II.

So, the young vampire suffered.

"How could this happen?!"

"Why did you surrender?!"

"You have defiled the honor of our great bloodline!"

"Your actions have disgraced everyone!"

"Execute the traitor!"

"Damn you!"

"What are you doing?!"

"Flower girl!"

"…Um… That… It seems something is wrong…" As the focus of all the contradictions and the one bearing all the responsibilities, the young vampire who had just lost to the succubus in the arena scratched his head, feeling that something strange was mixed in the intense condemnation.

Hearing the young vampire say this, the vampires who were accusing him were stunned for a moment, and then they attacked him with even more intense words:

"Who are you to question?"

"Know your place, you have no right to blame anyone now!"

"Do you have no sense of reflection?"

"Nicu nicu ni!"

"…Alright."

As the saying goes, when a thousand people point their fingers, one cannot survive. The young vampire finally lowered his head amidst the accusations of so many vampire kin. Seeing the heir of the traditionally powerful vampire family bow before them, the vampires instantly felt a sense of satisfaction—since they could not find superiority from outsiders in the face of external defeat, they naturally had to find it from their own people. It was inevitable.

"Alright, alright." Seeing the young vampire finally submit, the leaders of the other vampire families exchanged glances and then called out to their kin: "Alright, everyone, now is not the time to blame each other. Now, we need to think about what to do next and how to restore our reputation."

"Besides, there is another point: how should we respond to the challenge from the Demon's Hand Guild—those lowly demons have been very active recently. We must find a way to counter them."

In fact, the vampire leader was already quite, quite considerate of himself. It would be more accurate to say that the Demon's Hand Guild, which has been rising strongly recently, has won in all the conflicts with the Vampire Brotherhood.

Although Sid is a pervert, he is a very capable pervert. Under his leadership, the Demon's Hand Guild has developed rapidly, and his strength is enough to suppress these naturally scattered scoundrels. He can bind these rabble together into a powerful army and launch attacks on the vampires both openly and secretly.

In contrast, the vampires lack a competent leader. The young vampire, although of high status, lacks the corresponding prestige. His abilities are adequate, but his experience is overwhelmingly insufficient. He cannot control the old foxes of the other families.

Therefore, the young vampire had pinned his hopes on the arena match, hoping that a victory would boost his prestige. He planned to win some, divide some, and consolidate the Vampire Brotherhood. However, with the appearance of the succubus, his plans came to nothing.

Thus, the young vampire frowned and remained silent, while the other vampires who had been shouting loudly now looked at each other, silent.

Seeing this, the vampire leaders exchanged glances and nodded:

"Then, let me speak a few words." A vampire leader said: "The current situation is clear: those originally scattered and chaotic demons have formed a relatively tight organization. In this situation, it is difficult for us to match them with our current strength.

Therefore, my suggestion is that we need to strengthen our power."

"Are you saying we should let other races, those riffraff, enter our territory?!"

He had not even finished speaking when someone shouted: "If that's the case, I absolutely disagree!"

"No, that's not what I mean." The first vampire leader shook his head.

"Then, do you mean to increase military spending and hire the Yugros demon mercenary forces?" Another vampire shouted: "I don't have any extra money to spare!"

That's how it is. These bastards neither want to share power nor spend money. If the succubus were here and heard these bastards spout such nonsense, she would definitely take out her wand and give them a volley—what the hell are these things? Not to mention their behavior, just looking at them makes one feel sick. Killing these things, one less, would be a great contribution to the multiverse.

Of course, the succubus, as an outsider, naturally finds this intolerable. But these people, having been in the stinky fish market for so long, do not even realize their own stench. The first vampire leader knew that his kin would say this. After chuckling, he continued:

"No problem. The proposal I am making does not require opening the city to outsiders or spending money."

This guy's words were like a pyramid scheme. The others immediately became interested.

They urged him to speak quickly.

Thus, after the others had urged him and he had satisfied his vanity, the vampire leader said: "Yes, according to the information I have, in the south of Nalathel, on the frozen surface of the Endless Ice Sea, there lives a powerful vampire family. They do not want to get involved in Nalathel's politics due to their ancestors' command to live in seclusion."

"In other words, if we can get that family to join our brotherhood, our strength will greatly increase, and we can defeat those lowly demons?"

"Yes, that's what I mean." The vampire leader nodded with a smile.

"If that's the case, what are we waiting for? Go quickly!" Another vampire urged.

"Right!" The other vampires agreed.

"Ah, no, no." Hearing this, the vampire leader shook his head: "The climate of the Endless Ice Sea is extremely harsh, and the journey to the secluded place of our kin is very long. It is said that there are dragons there. The journey is fraught with difficulties. Moreover, even if we get there, how do we persuade those reclusive people to come out of seclusion? That is also a problem. In short, I do not have the ability to do it."

"Oh…" The other vampires nodded.

Thus, another vampire leader said: "Then, we must select a suitable person to undertake this arduous task."

"Yes." The other vampires nodded.

"This person must be brave, must be tenacious, and must have the ability, strength, and wisdom to complete this difficult journey."

"Right." The other vampires nodded.

"Moreover, he must be handsome and eloquent to persuade our reclusive kin to come out of seclusion."

"Right." The other vampires nodded.

"But the question is, who should we choose? Who meets these conditions? Who has the ability to complete this arduous task?"

"Who is it?" The other vampires pondered.

The young vampire, who had been a bit drowsy and just woke up, was suddenly stunned.

"…Why are you all looking at me?" (The novel "The Devil's Hyper Justice" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, along with 100% lottery gifts for everyone!
