Chapter 824: Chapter 824 - 369: "Loving Father" (Part 3)

As he spoke, the blood tendrils began to unleash even stronger power. The entire scarlet palace started to tremble violently. The decorative network of blood vessels suddenly exploded with a blinding red light, like electrified copper wires. Soon, a shocking scene unfolded. All the Blood Race within the palace, regardless of rank, began to involuntarily gather at the Central Square. Their eyes lost their usual intellect and rationality, leaving only mechanical obedience. Even those high-ranking Blood Race Nobles, at this moment, moved forward like walking corpses. Uphemia watched coldly, her heart unperturbed. She had seen too many scenes of such "harvest," long numb to it. But in the depths of her heart, a small voice asked: If one day "Father" no longer needed her, would her fate be the same? Aiden's voice was like a divine oracle, full of "love": "Now is the moment of glory for you to sacrifice for your father. Do not fear, do not resist, this is the highest meaning of your existence." As soon as the words fell, all the Blood Race gathered on the square began a horrifyingly brutal carnage. They fought one another in the most primal, most savage manner. Claws tore flesh, fangs bit through bones, and organs rained down around them. The strong devoured the weak, and the survivors continued to fight until only the last few blood-soaked victors remained. And these final survivors, before fully experiencing the joy of victory, were forced by Aiden's power to transform into pure Blood Dew, collected without a drop remaining. The entire process lasted less than two hours but completely destroyed Asmond's accumulation over thousands of years. The once prosperous Blood Race domain was now only left with bloodstains and white bones.
