The Vampire God

Yang Chen smiled . “I’m actually quite surprised . Aphrodite said other than Zeus and Athena, Poseidon should be the next strongest god . But from what I see, you are much stronger than he is . Especially your move of manipulating dreams . That takes an unprecedented control over space laws . It would’ve been troublesome for me if you gave me your all . I’m not a hundred percent sure that I can win you . But I am sure that if you tried to run, I wouldn’t have been able to catch you . You hide so well and you’re a vampire so how could I believe your words?”

Hermes was startled . He then replied in disdain, “So that’s your reason . ”

“And you have a more valid reason?”

“Of course . ” Hermes explained, “Those old people have always thought so highly of themselves . Did they really think they were gods? Please! We were just gods in the eyes of humans! I believe in natural selection, vampires are much stronger than humans . They might be the mutated descendants of gods, but they’re stronger than us . That’s because they won’t age and won’t die . All they need is human blood to live on . I’ve been inside this body for thousands of years . I never once needed to reincarnate . True, I was weaker than Poseidon many moons ago, heck I was even weaker than Apollo . But times have changed . I was awake while they went through reincarnation, which meant I had more time to learn more about space laws, which was how I became stronger than Poseidon . ”

Yang Chen was slightly shocked . He hadn’t thought so far ahead before .

It did seem good to reincarnate into a vampire’s body .

But to the other gods, vampires were merely creatures of the night looking for their next fix of human blood . That was why the gods didn’t bother becoming vampires .

Plus, they didn’t have any enemies so there was no point cultivating space laws .

Only the trickster Hermes would’ve thought about this, being a vampire just to avoid reincarnation .

Yang Chen contemplated for a while and asked, “If you’ve been a vampire for a thousand years, then you should have noble reputation then? But why haven’t I heard of you?”

Hermes giggled . “You must have heard of me before… My name is Raphael…”

Yang Chen’s heart stopped beating for a second . “Raphael?! You’re the leader of the Tzimisce clan?!”

“That’s right . I didn’t announce my identity to others since I have no need to show my abilities . ” Hermes grinned . “The kid you killed a few days ago, Drogba, was my son—a pureblood vampire that I had given birth to a thousand years ago . ”

Although the chances of having a descendant were low for the gods due to their physiques, they could totally reproduce after reincarnating into another body .

Back then, Yang Chen had met Aphrodite’s descendant, Judy . But the fact that Hermes had a vampire son was a lot more shocking .

Yang Chen heard from Lilith ages ago that the leader of Tzimisce was difficult to defeat and even Sargeras was afraid of him . But he finally understood now… He was one of the Twelve Olympians! Of course, he would be invincible!

So Yang Chen frowned . “Are you trying to avenge your son?”

Hermes shrugged . “He’s already dead . Avenging him would not bring him back to life . He always dreamt that I would pass my title as the leader of Sabbat to him . He’s annoying so it doesn’t matter if he died . You have to know, I don’t have a lot of descendants compared to the others . They would have hundreds of descendants after every reincarnation . In the end, their descendants would be littered everywhere, no?”

Yang Chen smiled bitterly at his open-mindedness .

“Actually…” Hermes smiled weirdly . “I think that even if I tried to fight you, I wouldn’t win but it’s not like you can kill me either so it’ll just be a waste of time . So why not you return my headphones and we call it a day?”

“I’ll keep the headphones, also don’t interfere with my personal matters anymore . ” Yang Chen rejected him .

Hermes held his forehead in frustration . “Those were my favorite pair!”

“I’m leaving . ” Yang Chen ignored him .

Hermes became anxious and tried to grab his things out of Yang Chen’s hands!

Yang Chen summoned the Heaven and Earth Restoration Energy and sculpted it into a sword before throwing it right towards Hermes!

“Argh!”

Hermes exclaimed in shock . He summoned multiple points of parallel spaces and could barely withstand the attack as he landed far away from Yang Chen .

Yang Chen was surprised to see that . He knew that space laws were terribly difficult to control . Even Poseidon had a hard time using them . Indeed, Hermes shouldn’t be looked down upon .

It looked like he had made loads of progression over the course of a few thousand years . Yang Chen wondered if he was better than Athena and Zeus .

“Damn it! Are you seriously doing this?!” Hermes yelled in annoyance .

“I’m not interested in playing games,” Yang Chen replied nonchalantly .

Hermes looked at his precious headphone in agony and waved his hands in defeat . “Forget it, I can’t win over you anyway . Treat it as a gift . I was being nice to alert you but you didn’t take me seriously . How unlucky of me…” Hermes muttered and flew away with his winged sandals Talaria before disappearing .

Yang Chen squinted his eyes . Hermes was definitely a tough one to beat . It wasn’t that he was afraid of Hermes, but he was especially good at escaping, with his space laws and winged sandals .

Yang Chen thought it would be best to keep a distance from Hermes, even if they weren’t foes . He took a deep breath and tried to forget about Hermes’ words .

Yang Chen knew that his family was worried so he quickly returned .

They were already done with lunch and was looking out for him anxiously .

When Yang Chen came back, they were relieved to see him safe and unharmed .

“Uncle, where did you go? We were worried about you,” Tang Tang grumbled .

“Didn’t I say I was going to meet someone?” Yang Chen chuckled and placed the headphones on the table . His face was filled with pride as he showed them off .

“How’s this? Awesome stuff right? I robbed it from someone . ”

Everyone was confused . Did Yang Chen go out to rob?

“Are these… headphones?”

Hui Lin was familiar with the equipment . She felt awkward in front of Yang Chen because of the earlier incident, but she still tried to speak up .

“Sister Hui Lin, we know what it is . ” Zhenxiu giggled .

Hui Lin smiled in embarrassment . “I’m saying that these look more advanced than the ones I’ve been using . Even normal amplified ones are expensive . These must be even more so . ”

Yang Chen clapped his hands . “That’s great Hui Lin . Looks like you really worked hard on learning about the musical instruments huh . This electrostatic headphone is the German product, Sennheiser’s Orpheus . There are less than three hundred units in this world and have unparalleled sound quality . I think it would be nice for you to have it, do you like it?”

Hui Lin’s eyes shone in excitement, surprised that Yang Chen would gift it to her .

Yuan Ye slapped his forehead . “Brother Yang, so this is the Orpheus! I heard about it from my friend . It’s an extremely rare piece in the market . ”

No one really understood what he was saying since most of them weren’t young, the only thing they heard was that those headphones were extremely rare .

Hui Lin rejected the gift immediately when she heard what Yuan Ye had said . “Why don’t you keep it, Brother Yang? I don’t need anything so expensive…”

“It’s fine, your sister and I don’t listen to music . Plus, this is only suitable for audiophiles . It would be a shame for it to be wasted on people like us . Ruoxi has always been the one giving you stuff so I ought to do the same too as your elder brother . ” Yang Chen smiled and handed the headphones to her .

Hui Lin’s face turned pale when she heard his words .

Yang Chen sounded warm but he was insinuating that she was like a sister to him and nothing more .

The ladies present understood his underlying intentions and felt bad for Hui Lin as a result .

Lin Ruoxi knew it was quite cruel but she didn’t want to stop Yang Chen either . She couldn’t imagine what would happen if Hui Lin became Yang Chen’s lover .

Everyone looked at Hui Lin who was already frozen in place . If she accepted the gift for a sister, it would mean that she had to throw away her feelings for Yang Chen…
