Its power is irresistible, capable of devouring and assimilating the blood of any human it comes into contact with, thereby transforming the human who receives this blessing into a high-ranking vampire of pure blood.
Even though the dying blonde girl possessed the blood of an ancient warrior capable of dispelling darkness, it was utterly insignificant before the overwhelming dark power of the queen's blood essence. The blood energy contained within the warrior's blood was appropriated by this dark blood, unleashing even greater power under the influence of darkness...
Once she possesses an immortal, eternally indestructible vampire body as a vessel, then few blood energies in the world can overwhelm her body.
This was exactly what Kane was thinking—only by embracing her as a vampire could he save her!
And this is even a "win-win" idea...
He will use the Queen's blood essence for the Embrace.
"Accepting this essence of blood means becoming the sole kin of the vampire queen, and also means... having the qualifications to inherit the queen's throne."
Kane muttered to himself.
"Her destiny will no longer belong to herself. The queen's blood flowing in her veins will ultimately lead her to become queen in the future."
Their destiny's path.
"She will now be able to avoid the curse of the 'blood of warriors,' but what awaits her... is the fate of becoming a vampire queen."
"I did not seek the girl's consent, much less obtain Her Majesty the Queen's approval..."
Kane raised his head, his blood-red eyes filled with sorrow.
“I have committed an unforgivable crime against the two of them.”
“I bear full responsibility for this decision to deceive the emperor, and I have no intention of shirking it. This is the only option at present, the only way to ensure that she, and the vampires... survive for thousands of generations to come.”
Kane carefully picked up the vial of blood, suppressing the trembling in his hands, tears streaming down his face.
"If Her Majesty the Queen fails to return, she may still become the new Queen—"
"The blood of warriors who resisted darkness created unparalleled heroes among men. Fate drove these descendants of warriors to rush to the flame like moths to a flame when chaos came, to save the corrupt and decadent world."
"Now, a descendant of a warrior destined to save humanity... will, in the initial embrace of the darkest power, transform into the future supreme queen of our vampire race..."
"With her unparalleled strength and wisdom, she saved us, the Dark Blood Clan."
Kane sneered.
"The warrior's blood energy, which was meant to be used to fight against darkness, caused an innocent girl to suffer greatly before falling into the hands of dark monsters along with her."
"Ultimately, the sacred blood tainted by darkness will assist her in ascending her throne and becoming the supreme Dark King of us Dark Blood Clan."
"How ironic, yet how wonderful."
...
I, Kane, am a selfish man.
I didn't hesitate to twist her destiny, directing it towards a single path—to become our new queen.
[Because those chosen by the warrior's bloodline are destined to be extraordinary. That cursed bloodline, though it didn't grant her invincible power, did bestow upon her unparalleled intelligence.]
She is capable of becoming queen, I firmly believe it.
Because now, there is no other choice. She is my only hope... my only hope to save the vampire race.
I arbitrarily chose a new fate for her, and arbitrarily decided the future of the vampire clan. This sin is beyond my capacity to bear, but I must do it.
...
...
During the ceremony, the girl's body was completely immersed in nutrient solution, floating in a cylindrical glass container, with a breathing device connected to her mouth and nose, and her limbs connected to IV tubes of various sizes.
This was the most advanced medical technology available at that time.
But this is far from enough.
The blonde girl groaned in pain, bubbles constantly overflowing from her breathing apparatus.
"Body temperature is rising abnormally... Continue to cool the fluids."
"Blood pressure is abnormally high... Continue administering antihypertensive medication."
...
"Woo--Woo--"
The semi-conscious girl struggled only on instinct, her consciousness no longer able to control her body.
Only when the body is in a suitable condition can the Embrace ritual begin; otherwise, the powerful Queen's blood essence will cause her to bleed from all seven orifices and die the moment it enters her body.
...
"Is this the only way..."
Kane sighed, raised his hand and pointed, waving it back and forth in the air as he unleashed some kind of complex blood curse.
"Goo-"
The girl in the container rolled her eyes, her limbs drooped limply, and she fainted.
...
"The seal is complete."
Kane sighed.
A crimson curse mark flashed across her forehead before quickly disappearing.
Now, she has forgotten everything, even who she is.
People's perception of "self" is based on memory.
Memory constitutes everything about a person. If it is completely stripped away, then a person who loses their memory becomes a blank sheet of paper, an empty shell like a walking corpse.
After their bodies are transformed into vampires, due to various reasons such as their inability to suppress their bloodlust and the dark power of vampires eroding their brains, most vampires will fall into a state of mental derangement and rage, and it will take some time for them to regain their normal consciousness.
This is undoubtedly very dangerous for the girl's weak body. Once the brain suffers irreversible damage in the rage, even the regenerative power of the vampires cannot restore the will and spirit to their original state.
To minimize this risk, the simplest and most direct method is to strip away all memories, causing the person to lose their sense of self, become unable to act or think, and thus become less likely to fall into rage.
From now on, the memories belonging to the vampires will be directly overwritten into her blank mind, and she will become a 100% vampire.
This also has significant drawbacks: if one day her sealed human memories are broken, the impact of the intertwined memories on her mind would be unimaginable.
But eye
There was no other choice.
"Young girl... forgetting your past as a human, forgetting the deaths of your friends, might not be a bad thing for you. This world has already brought you too much suffering..."
"Moreover... the past as a human is an unnecessary and redundant memory for the future vampire queen."
"Prepare to welcome your new life as a vampire. Farewell... human girl."
...
...
...
During the long and terrifying Embrace ritual, the blood essence of the only queen in this world was combined with the blood of the blonde girl, assimilating and devouring all the blood in her body, transforming it into the most powerful vampire blood in the world.
The shocking wounds, bruises, and lumps that covered her limbs healed rapidly as she became a vampire. When her skin faded to the pale color characteristic of vampires, there was no longer a single ugly scar on her skin.
"Hiss...ah..."
She opened her lifeless, blood-red eyes, revealing the vampire fangs inside her lips, and the veins on her neck and face throbbing incessantly.
"Gurgle—"
In that instant, the last trace of gold in her hair was completely replaced by silver-white under extreme pain, and vanished entirely.
Her long, silvery-white hair, as radiant as a waterfall, replaced the once-cursed, gorgeous but deadly golden hair, and also the long-gone black hair that symbolized her identity as "human."
It will serve as one of the symbols of her being a vampire, accompanying her in the years to come, forever.
...
The ceremony proceeded very smoothly, and the Queen's essence and blood were completely integrated into her body, transforming into powerful blood that was almost identical to that of the Eternal Queen, Siriot.
"She... pulled through."
Kane wept with joy; exhausted from casting spells for so long, he almost collapsed to the ground in that instant.
He seemed to remember something and stared at the dials on the instruments beside him.
His solemn silence gradually transformed into overwhelming joy.
"Vital signs...normal."
"Your blood pressure is normal."
"Blood fusion...normal."
"Heart rate...normal."
...
The girl's lifeless eyes scanned everything before her, but because her brain had only recently been altered by darkness, nothing she saw could be recorded in her mind. For now, she remained merely an empty shell, acting solely on instinct.
"Hiss... Uh..."
...
Kane approached her, a tired but satisfied smile on his face.
"Very good, very good..."
"Now that you've forgotten the past, let's embrace the future..."
Kane picked up the diary on the table beside him and scanned it with dense notes.
"During your coma, you kept repeating 'Ludwig,' 'Aurora'... Are these your friend's names?"
"You need a name that fits your new identity, but it can't be completely unrelated to your previous name... Use familiar but slightly altered things as guiding cues, and habitual thinking will ensure that the shackles of the memory seal are never broken."
Kane gently tapped her forehead through the thin glass.
"Therefore, the suggestion of a completely new identity is etched into your mind."
...
"Welcome to the world of vampires."
"Ludwig Young".
Chapter 159 Resurrection
"Hiss...Gurgle..."
The silver-haired, red-eyed vampire girl sat motionless on the floor, like a newborn baby.
Just as Kane had predicted, with all her memories erased, she was unable to construct a new "self" in the short term. And it was precisely because of this that she was able to descend smoothly as a perfect vampire, without exhibiting the slightest violent or abnormal reaction.
Before her new "self" was born, she remained in this state of being manipulated by others. If, before her new "self" took shape, she were to be tainted with other colors...
"Gu..."
The silver-haired vampire girl resembled a newborn infant, her eyes blank and empty. Having been emptied of everything by dark magic, she couldn't even form any thoughts in her mind.
She struggled for a moment in dissatisfaction when Kane gently picked her up, but then calmed down.
The girl was quietly carried by Kane as they left the messy medical room.
Kane dressed her up, putting her in a custom-made vampire gown, applying light makeup, and tying her hair up in an elegant princess-like braid.
Kane then gently placed her in a carefully crafted sealed container.
Inside the coffin. He moved with extreme caution and gentleness, as if afraid of accidentally breaking her.
This coffin will serve as her safe haven, ensuring her safety until her "self" is fully formed.
In the final moments before the coffin was closed, the newborn vampire girl stared blankly ahead, unable to even form the concept of "taking a look at Kane."
Unable to retain any information in her mind, she will be completely unaware of everything that happened before she entered the coffin...
Only after a complete and new "self" is conceived in her mind will she have the ability to think, and only then will she be truly born as a vampire who has been reborn.
"Go to sleep, little girl."
Kane gently stroked her silver hair one last time, and in a daze, he seemed to return to the moment more than four hundred years ago when he closed the black coffin for his vampire queen.
"I hope that when you awaken... you will lead us vampires into a glorious era."
