Chapter 1030 Eliminate The Blasphemer.
The only one amongst the Primogenitors who doesn't have a Halo is Emperiti. The other Primogenitors are monarchs except for her. She is here in her partial form which is a cloud of dust. The dust is actually a cloud of tiny living things. They are smaller than mites and present in all her Vampires.
These mites replicate and transmit themselves very quickly. All they need to infect someone is to enter their body through any wound. Then the infected will turn into a Vampire and become one of her numerous thralls. That's why she is called a plague. She spreads Vampirism like a disease.
The Primogenitors are always quiet and regal during these meetings. It is a behavior that they adopted from their previous lives as elves. Elves are always graceful and composed. So they are able to remain composed despite the seriousness of the issue at hand. They are arguing right now but it looks like banter at a party.
"I think we should watch him further before we make any decision." Someone suggested.
"What else do we need to see about him, Marlinto? He used the domain of an Origin god. That already confirms him to be a threat. All threats are to be eliminated."
This Primogenitor is talking about killing but her tone is calm and her demeanor is noble. She spoke like a judge passing judgment. It is just business and nothing personal.
Marlinto chuckled. "If he is a threat, then he is the lowest threat possible. There's no need to fear him."
Another Primogenitor interjected, "He is already a threat from what we know about him. What about what we don't know about him? And there is a lot that we don't know about him too. How did he break off the influence of the supreme of Carnage? How did he completely comprehend a law in less than a thousand years of being alive and less than a minute of being a transcendent? How is he using the domain of an origin god without being an origin god himself? What kind of existence is he? What is he doing right now? Where is he right now?"
This Primogenitor raised his voice as he spoke. He is clearly agitated. Something about this topic of conversation is personal to him. It broke the decorum of the meeting. It also caused everyone to pay attention and take what he just said seriously. The barrage of questions made everyone quiet. It is because they don't have an answer to it. They don't even know where Ragnarok is anymore because the demon god lost sight of him once he left the devil's pit.
"Calm down. You are getting agitated over nothing." Someone said to him.
That didn't work. The agitated Primogenitor did not calm down. "Don't tell me to calm down. Of course, I am agitated. You're taking this too calmly. I said we should kill Xigger but you didn't listen to me. It is true that Xigger wasn't a threat to us but things have changed now. Ragnarok is stronger than his father and he can also eat Vampires. We must put an end to this before it gets out of hand."
That silenced the opposition. It is not because they are in agreement. It is because speaking about killing a Primogenitor, especially a special one with the ability to devour, will anger the Supreme of Carnage. That's why they didn't kill Xigger when he killed and ate a lot of Vampires from their lineage and some of their direct offsprings.
This Primogenitor doesn't have such misgivings. Others may choose to be silent now so as not to anger the Supreme of Carnage. But not him. His descendant died to Xigger and now, Xigger's descendant is about to do the same.
He said with agitation. "There is no need to hold back. He is not a Vampire and he stole his power from the Supreme of Carnage. I think it is just right that we try to take back what was stolen."n-/o..V./e-)l..b..I/)n
Someone spoke up in agreement after seeing that the Supreme didn't smite the agitated Primogenitor. "There is so much we don't know about him so I propose that we eliminate him before he becomes too much of a threat."
Marlinto chuckled again. He said confidently, "We don't have the answer to those questions. That's why I propose that we watch him further so that we can learn more about him."
He doesn't think there is anything to worry about Ragnarok. He is confident in his survivability. His stance to watch Ragnarok now is not because of his hidden altruistic side. He wants to know how Ragnarok has achieved what he has. It might unlock a previously unknown path of power for Vampires.
A Primogenitor supported Marlinto, "He is a level 1 threat or a level 2 threat at most. He couldn't even kill Emperiti. What's there to worry about?"
Another said in disagreement, "That doesn't count. Stronger Origin gods have failed to kill Emperiti."
Emperiti also joined in. "He killed millions of my Lineage and caused the devil's pit to fall. He is going to do the same to you too. This is after we already sacrificed a lot to protect him. He is a blight that has to be removed."
The previously calm atmosphere of discussion became rowdy. The Primogenitors are divided on what to do about Ragnarok. They are not only trying to convince each other of their stance, but they are also hoping to convince the Supreme of Carnage to support them.
Some believe that while Ragnarok used the domain of an origin god to destroy the defenses of the devil's pit, it is not enough to consider him a threat.
His actions made them lose the entrance of the devil's pit. The wood elves will want to use the devil's pit to stage attacks on the Underdark so it is the turn of the Vampires to defend. They have to collapse the devil's pit or retake it from the wood elves.
