"Dying?" Dante said with disdain. It was so absurd that he simply... couldn''t believe it.


    The king of all vampires, the immortal creature that controls souls and everything through blood... Dying? Tell me another one!


    "It''s the truth."


    When d spoke those words, Dante''s expression changedpletely... "What do you mean?" he asked.


    The expression of disdain turned entirely into one of strangeness; for some reason... he was worried... After all... Dante knew what wasing, and without the Vampire King... it would be a problem.


    "The poison damaged my soul a long time ago, incurably," d said with a foolish smile.


    "They still don''t know, although they can already see that I''m not in my best shape. I''ve been using my power to shape the wound and keep it hidden."


    Dante looked firmly into the eyes of the Vampire King; he knew what this was about...


    "Just one head almost killed you," Dante remarked.


    d remained silent briefly as he tried not to create amotion, but it was inevitable.


    He nodded.


    "Yes."


    Dante''s mind was consumed by various sinister thoughts... especially knowing about the Sector change...


    "We still have some time..." Dante murmured.


    Nosferatu''s expression hardened for a few seconds; he realized that Dante was no longer talking about his King''s Disease...


    "Time for what?" Nosferatu asked, looking directly into the eyes of the Demon King.


    Dante saw his expression and sighed; after all, he had to tell the rulers about this soon before the world undergoes metamorphosis...


    "I was reborn in a way different from what they think," Dante said. "It wasn''t necromancy or anything rted to that."


    "Previously, I was a walking imbnce. I don''t need to detail that, right? Everyone knows me well, too well..." Dante murmured.


    It was a fact that after Dante died, many people had ess to his medical record, if you can call it that, a report on who he was.


    Made by the witches.


    "Yes..." Nosferatu confirmed... More than anyone else, he had studied all the data on Dante Scarlet before the Resurrection, precisely because he wanted to find a cure for his King.


    "So, you must know about the unreal imbnce I had in my body," Dante said.


    "I was reborn through a Spirit called Voralith, or rather, Li Mei," he revealed. "A Demonic Dragon."


    Of course, d and Nosferatu didn''t understand why Dante started talking about this so suddenly, but if he was speaking, it meant something he wanted them to hear wasing, so they didn''t question what he was saying.


    "During my reincarnation... Ah..." Dante paused, he didn''t like remembering that day... Mainly because he made his wives suffer so much...


    "The fact is: I met the Chief Administrator," Dante said, and Nosferatu didn''t understand what he meant, what did he mean by ''Administrator''?


    But d? d knew exactly who that person was... Even though he only knew the Administrator of this Sector.


    "I see... you know who she is," Dante said, and d nodded silently...


    "What I''m going to say here is not to rm you, but it''s better to resolve this d issue before it happens," he remarked as Nosferatu''s entire mental world began to copse and Dante''s mental world took over.


    "Sorry, I can''t say something like this in a ce I don''t control," hemented.


    "The world will undergo a metamorphosis, think of it as if severals were going to collide and merge... A Sector Update Incursion," Dante said, looking directly into d''s eyes.


    "Do you understand why you need to stay alive?" Dante asked, and the atmosphere in the room becamepletely tense...


    "I''m trying to ensure we survive this; honestly, I don''t know what to expect. I wanted to talk to the Big Guy upstairs..., but he won''t listen to me now, not until I dismember Lucifer," Dante said, scratching his head.


    "I already have a Progenitor by my side and two Dragons, not to mention Valentina and Morgana. But again, I don''t know what to expect," Dante said as he looked at his hands, which were sped together.


    "If you die, someone will be a Progenitor. The problem is..." Dante murmured.


    "We don''t know if that person will be on our side..." Nosferatu responded. "Yes."


    "This is..." d tried not to think too much, but... now the situation was even worse in a general context, especially because if he died, the powers would bepletely disordered.


    "Why are you... saying all of this now?" Nosferatu questioned.


    Dante looked at them overall... "Ensuring an alliance when the world changes," Dante said. "And no political marriages, please keep me out of that," Dante said, raising his hands in surrender.


    "Say what you want, boy, without word games," d said; he couldn''t believe what Dante was talking about...


    Ensuring an alliance? Don''t joke!


    "Ah... it''splicated..." Dante murmured.


    With a snap of his fingers, a contract appeared in his hand,ing directly from the depths of hell.


    "Currently, with the power of the Ruler, I can manipte souls like you, but only if they are dead," Dante said, looking into d''s eyes...


    This huge coincidence arose now, d dying was... Perfect for him... Of course, there was still this problem of dying and someone bing the progenitor, but...


    "If you die, your soul wille directly to me, without passing through the cycle of reincarnation or the higher hells," Dante said with a smile. "You sell me your soul before dying, and I''ll bring you back to life in the future," Dante said, smiling...


    The sounds of the environmentpletely died down as d thought about what this man... no... what this demon had just said.


    He hadn''t even considered a cure and simply went straight to the final stage...


    ...


    ...


    ...


    The current environment was somewhat... strange.


    It was apletely ck world, like the very abyss of endless darkness. The only illumination came from two powers.


    One came from a white-haired woman, a power of absolute purple that shone like the neon of a technological city.


    The other, from a pink-haired woman, a shocking pink power that seemed to y with reality; she was quite... excited, to say the least.


    A distortion between reality and lies, an arena formed by the supreme domain of the Progenitor of All Demons.


    Lilith was surrounded by an aura of lethal power. Her eyes, a deep red, glowed to the point of threatening to consume everything around her.


    They faced each other, not too far apart.


    With a slight movement of her hands, she summoned an army of purple energy serpents that twisted through the air, flying toward Vex, ready to kill her.


    Vex, in turn, was not intimidated at all; they had been fighting for more than two days without stopping, without rest, all because Dante ordered it, and if Dante ordered it... it was absolute.


    Her eyes focused deeply on Lilith''s, and from her hands, Vex conjured des of pure demonic energy, sharp as a guillotine''s edge, floating around her, ready to tear apart anything they touched.


    Without any warning, Lilith attacked,unching her serpents at Vex, who began shredding all the massive energy Lilith unleashed on her, using her des not only as an attack but also as a defense.


    In her full Subus transformation, Vex had a tail that could easily be used as a deadly weapon, and she was focused on using both her energy and her body—something she learned in this fight.


    Lilith was too versatile, of course, she was her progenitor. Inmon terms, if Dante was Vex''s Father for giving the essence necessary to rece her human side, Lilith was her Mother, and for some reason... Vex could feel that this woman knew her truly, as if she were her own mother.


    The serpents continued to die as Vex focused on attacking.


    "Is that all you''ve got, Lilith?" Vex taunted, her voice echoing with a dark tone. She was excited again...


    Lilith narrowed her eyes and didn''t respond with words, but with an even fiercer charge. With a quick movement, sheunched herself into the air, transforming her body into a white serpent, twisting in the air like a macabre dancer. The purple energy surrounding her turned into mes, intensifying and forming a natural shield around her body.


    She descended toward Vex like a meteor, with her ws ready to tear flesh and soul.


    Vex felt it was impossible to dodge this and used all her power to form a shield, advancing to meet Lilith head-on. It was a deadly dance, a de dancer aiming directly at Lilith''s heart.


    And then came the impact of their forces...


    Smoke rose into the air with the sh of the two powers, but... as the dust settled...


    Vex waspletely defeated.


    "Damn it!" She roared, punching the ground as the domain began to unravel. Vex was frustrated and punched the ground, creating a crater in the training yard of Aldria Pce.


    "I want a rematch!" Vex shouted, seeing Lilith looking at her without any emotion.


    Lilith sighed, would this woman never stop?


    "Go get some sleep, will you? You''re almost out of energy. Can''t you see that?" Lilithmented, and Vex replied, "I''m fine!" Vex said, trying to stand up, but...


    "M-my legs..." she murmured, realizing she couldn''t move...


    "Just stay there for a while until you recover, or you''ll pass out if you keep going," Lilith said, sitting not far from her.


    "I just... I want to be stronger..." Vex said, giving in and falling back to the ground. "Yes, we know. But forcing it won''t help," Lilith said, lying down on the ground. Despite not being tired... she didn''t want to waste her time just fighting and training this loud-mouthed demon...


    She had thoughts that could no longer be hidden from her face... She couldn''t pretend anymore.


    And despite Vex being a bit insensitive at times...


    "Hey... why do you look so... unhappy?" Vex suddenly questioned...


    "When a man you''re interested in rejects you multiple times... What would you do?" Vex heard the question and...


    "I don''t know? My man loves me very much," she said, smiling...


    "Yeah... I figured you wouldn''t understand," Lilith said, turning her face away...


    She... was a little depressed.


    "But I can help you," Vex said, smiling. "If the man is Dante, of course... Just make me the strongest among them all..." Vex smiled, already thinking about the rewards Dante would give her!


    "Tsk... selfish," Lilith muttered, inaudibly.
