The Boon After the End

Railgun: Skill Type, SSR-class, Mysterious. Uses metal attracted by magnets as projectiles (game currency is best). Fires a powerful railgun with extremely high accuracy and destructive power. Range: fifty meters, straight line. Devastating, invincible. You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth. (40% chance of BGM playing; while BGM is active, damage effects increase by 100%).

"Ding!"

The moment the game currency fell and was parallel to Lake’s right thumb, a crisp sound echoed, and countless arcs of electricity erupted around Lake.

Boom!

The Railgun skill appeared in Lucian’s eyes, just ten centimeters away from Lake.

Lucian’s eyes widened.

"No!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

As the BGM reached its peak, eleven Railguns, as thick as ancient trees, dazzling, beautiful, and extremely dangerous, erupted forth.

Devastating!

Unstoppable.

With a boom.

Lucian, who was in a pouncing stance, was the first to be hit directly by the Railgun projectiles shot out by Lake’s main body, but he didn’t fly backward.

Instead…

Lucian was suspended in mid-air.

Ah!

Lucian roared to the sky, the thick electromagnetic cannon blasting directly into his belly. His roar grew louder and louder, and the pain within his roars intensified.

What about the other dozens of werewolves?

The encirclement formed by the ten clones unleashed a net of Railgun projectiles, which indiscriminately and irresistibly blasted into the clustered pack of werewolves.

In just one exchange.

The werewolves on the outermost edge were instantly electrolyzed and dissolved. With a mournful cry, they evaporated, leaving not a trace of their existence in this world.

As for Lucian?

While howling in pain, Lucian still stubbornly and with great difficulty lifted his head high. However, at the moment it reached its peak, after the game currency dissolved, under the final blow.

Rumble!

Lucian could no longer hold on. His massive, two-meter-long body exploded from the middle. The instant he exploded, arcs of electricity surged, instantly electrolyzing and evaporating his flesh and blood.

The next second.

The BGM disappeared.

The massive, brilliant light vanished from the plaza.

On the rooftop.

Emilia and the others, whose eyes had been unable to open due to the blinding light from the plaza, looked down. In the plaza, apart from the eleven trenches dug like earth-moving machines, not a single werewolf remained.

Where were the wolves?

Where was Lucian?

The dozen or so vampire council members frantically searched with their eyes.

Whoosh!

The moment Lake put his hands back in his pockets, the ten clones distributed around him instantly vanished as if teleporting and colliding with Lake’s main body.

Looking up.

Lake’s gaze fell upon Catalan, who was standing at the edge of the rooftop.

Catalan took a deep breath, took a step back without hesitation, knelt on one knee before Emilia, and declared his submission: "Queen!"

After speaking.

Catalan unhesitatingly pierced his own chest, took out a drop of his heart’s blood, and handed it to Emilia.

The dozen or so vampires behind him exchanged glances.

The next second.

Every single vampire council member, without exception, knelt on one knee before Emilia, pledging their loyalty: "Queen!"

These people might be opportunists.

But in a capitalist society, opportunists are acceptable. Moreover, even if these vampire council members were opportunists, they were highly capable ones.

Until they found someone stronger than Lake, someone who could kill Lake with 100% certainty, their loyalty to Emilia was absolutely guaranteed.

"Daddy is mighty!"

Little Cotton-Padded Jacket, Katherine, after being stunned for a moment, jumped in place, shouted loudly, and then, with a whoosh, jumped down from the ten-meter-high terrace, once again hugging Lake’s right arm: "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, I want to learn, I want to learn."

This skill is absolutely explosive.

And also…

That inexplicably resounding music, wow, Katherine felt that move suited her perfectly.

Lake laughed heartily, "Teach it? I’ll definitely teach it to you later, I promise."

How could he teach it now?

He couldn’t.

And besides…

Did they really think using the SSR skill Railgun eleven times in a row was easy?

Lake felt like his spirit and energy had been completely drained. If it weren’t for the immortal body, another SSR skill, working rapidly, he wouldn’t be surprised if he face-planted into the ground right now.

Still, Lake felt his head was a bit fuzzy.

At dawn.

Lake opened his eyes and looked at Emilia, who was lying on him and meeting his gaze. "Have they submitted?"

Emilia’s eyes were filled with deep affection. "Would they dare not submit?"

Lake had already used his iron-fisted methods and absolute strength to convey a simple, unadorned truth to these council members.

Those who don’t obey, die.

After all, they had someone above them before. The biggest difference was that before it was the Three Vampire Elders, but now, it was just three becoming one, turning into a queen. For them, this was actually an advantage.

At the very least, they wouldn’t have to deal with a new elder every hundred years. Sometimes, they wouldn’t even know what to do when the current ruling elder’s orders were overturned by the next one.

"Viktor and Marcus have submitted the heart’s blood of the remaining twenty Vampire Council members. As long as I wish, I can control their life and death at any time."

"Good."

The twelve Vampire Council members from Emilia’s faction were unharmed. The eight Vampire Council members killed earlier were all from Viktor and Marcus’s faction. However, the remaining twenty Vampire Council members had already handed over their heart’s blood, which could control their life and death, to Emilia, ensuring their loyalty.

Of course.

The function of this heart’s blood wasn’t that if Emilia died, they would die too. It wasn’t a passive skill, but an active one.

Viktor and Marcus, who had controlled their life and death before, were now dead. They hadn’t thought to take these council members with them when they left, so these people didn’t die.

Lake flipped his right hand, taking out a vial.

A tube of blood.

His.

Lake handed the blood, which he had prepared on the way, to Emilia. "Times have changed. Since they have submitted, the rewards they deserve must be given. One drop per person is enough to ensure they no longer fear the sun."

After Emilia took it, she placed the vial aside and moved somewhere. "My love, you’ve given me such a gift, how should I repay you?"

Lake shivered.

The next second.

The room was once again filled with passion. This time, it was different from the previous few times, after all, this was the service of the Vampire Queen Emilia, not the Three Vampire Elders Emilia.

In the afternoon.

Katherine no longer had to hide anything, directly basking in the warm sunlight in the backyard garden of the ancient castle. She took a deep breath and then said to Selena, who was inside the door, "Selena, hurry up and come! Look, it’s fine."

Selena looked at Katherine, who was very active in the plaza. After a moment of silence, she took a step forward.

Sunlight fell on her foot.

Huh.

The expected stinging pain didn’t come.

A short while later.

Selena looked up at the orange Grandpa Sun sliding towards his shift change position, feeling something incomprehensible.

She had faced the sun directly.

On television or in movies?

In reality?

No.

Only vampires sentenced to death would experience the glory of the sun in their final moments.

But now.

Selena stretched out her hands, feeling the sunlight on them, her palms warming up. She clenched her fists tightly, as if trying to hold onto this wisp of warmth.

In the main hall of the castle!

"Everyone!"

Lake smiled and made an inviting gesture to the thirty Vampire Council members in the hall who had each received a drop of his blood. "Feel my grace."

Catalan looked at Lake’s expression and took a deep breath. He had already chosen to submit, so there was no reason for Lake to attack him now. Thus, he took his first step.

Immediately after.

The vampire council members, following suit, exited the hall one after another into the plaza. Like children with a novel new toy, they all tilted their heads back, bathing themselves in the sunlight.

In the backyard.

The castle’s vampire maids also felt the long-lost sensation of sunlight on their skin in the garden.

These maids were helped by Katherine.

Lake knew his little cotton-padded jacket would ask him for it, so as soon as she opened her mouth, he tossed a vial of fresh blood to her.

"How is it?"

The little cotton-padded jacket smiled at Selena, sticking out her tongue. "Sorry, Selena, Daddy told us not to reveal that we’re not afraid of sunlight."

Selena snapped back to attention and then thought of a question. "So, you and David…"

Katherine nodded. "Of course, David and I are my Daddy and Mommy’s biological daughters."

She was the older sister.

Naturally, the female should come first.

Selena’s heart stirred. "So, does that mean I also…"

Katherine shook her head. "I don’t know about that. But if you want to experiment, you can use my brother as a test subject. I guarantee he’d be more than happy to."

Her brother was not only foolish but also a potential simp.

This baffled Katherine.

However.

It was fine.

When Katherine thought about how she was like her Daddy, and how her foolish brother David was nothing like him, she felt a sense of relief.

It was simple.

She was like herself. If her brother were also like her, could she still monopolize ninety-five percent of Daddy’s affection?

She knew it was impossible just by thinking about it.
