"Ok, calm down. It's not like the world ended. "Kristofer stood beside Mirian, "you probably understand we fear no death nor pain, if disaster strikes, it strikes, we can't even fathom how to kill you, no matter the reason you destroyed all our possessions, reduced our thriving clan members to 100 men, we lost more, and material gain will not bring them back, who knows what they felt when we got transported, and they didn't even manage to do anything before dying or what kind of despair and suffering they experienced when those beasts devoured them."
"This little bit of taunting should be fair, just a little bit of revenge."
Listening to Kristofer, the creature tried to calm down and not do anything rash, just one wrong move, and he would kill these people accidentally, there would be nothing for him then.
"Alright, alright, what happened, happened I explained that the test I gave was the easiest I could and do not assume that a transported you all here. If I could do so, I would have done that to more people. Reaching this place is based poorly on luck, my luck, hehe." the creature laughed sinisterly.
Hearing his laugh, Morgols narrowed their eyes because it was peculiar as if the creature was trying to cover its genuine emotions, the laughter was sinister. Still, it seemed toned down without any malice, while previously, it sounded different.
"He probably has no other choice but to accommodate us. We can have an excellent bargain. Mirian's actions were enough to determine the creature could endure more than it showed.
"How about you directly tell us what will happen and since we agreed we might do it unless it's not detrimental to us." Vato chimed in.
The creature took a breath extremely gently, trying not to sack all the air around him, not to kill them, and said:" I will bestow one of the world's greatest body tempering technique, 'blood As Universe' to every single one of you."
"It is extremely hard to cultivate, and not anyone can try to master it. I will use my blood and the island's natural resources that accumulated over the eons to awaken special blood vessels and aperture in you all. At the same time, transforming your hearts and adding an extremely unique vein that will connect the technique to not only your body but the environment itself. This way, you will be able to use islands resources and evolve."
"The technique has nine stages, master, couldn't finish the 10th, so it's only halfway done. The first two stages can be practiced relatively easily but between the second and third stages is such an enormous gap that if anyone of you ever reaches that stage, it would be a miracle.
"The first part is called 'Bloody world' and the second one 'Blood overflows,' blood overflows realm is quite hard to reach because that's were qualitative change happens, but with my help, some of you will reach it, as a warning I will tell you that one mistake in this technique's cultivation and boom you're dead. After I help you all in developing heart vein and transferring the most relevant parts of the first three stages, you will be able to cultivate it."
The creature narrowed its abysmal eyes and continued," once all of you master the introductory realm of the bloody world, we will commence a ceremony that will allow me to attach myself to the unborn. At the same time, you all will perform blood revolution and allow the master-slave contract to form."
Hearing this, Maria wanted to ask what would happen to her child and who would be the master. Still, before she could do so, the creature said," don't worry between us if I took the position as a master, I would face my end while the child would not form either, the only way this can happen is by child taking the lead and being the master.
"Once the child is born, I will bestow him with all the information about 'Blood As Universe' and secrets only known to me, and if he then tells these secrets to you all, that will be his choice, but otherwise, none of you are qualified to know more."
Mirian couldn't help but ask," is the process painful?"
The creature tried to grin with its bizarre dragon look-alike head, but it looked so scary that It sent down shivers into every Morgol," listen, brat, you want this supreme technique without any pain? Impossible!"
"Alright, that's enough. We agree, but we should negotiate all the details, and since my child becomes the master, I don't think anything bad can happen to him and us, I think my child is the luckiest unborn that ever existed."
After that, they negotiated about those people they were allowed to bring or if they could get anything, how long would they have to stay on this island, so on and so forth.
The negotiations went for a while, and when Morgols were sure they covered every aspect, they looked and received some convincing replies, some not so much they then began their preparations.
Every single Morgol had to bathe in the lake at the base of the mountain.
The lake was called Heavenly blood lake, and it was glaring bright red, surprisingly it could be drunk without any problems and could even enhance blood circulation, muscle density, toughness, and many more. This lake was an absolute miracle to the Morgols.
The lake though was only the beginning. Body reconstruction was a very tedious process and required a lot more resources. Just the preparation for the first stage took a great deal of energy from this godly existence.
It was using every means possible to allow those who could not use the resource themselves the possibility to absorb—then remodeling the body so that it could suit the technique than to create ameleun blood aperture and amsakaran blood vessel, which would lay the foundation for heart vein.
Through the tireless work of the creature and Morgols cooperation in just a month, they reached the first phase's initial stage and established a heart vein. From now on, Morgols would be superior to every human living on earth.
When the creature established the unique heart vein, Morgols realized just what kind of a miracle it was.
This vein created a world at the heart's center allowing limitless blood storage, creation, and secretion. As long as one reached the limit of this technique, theoretically one could store enough blood to cover the entire universe hence the terrifying name 'Blood As Universe.'
The moment a person established a heart vein, it would start blood production and storage without any outside help or interference.
Of course, you guessed right. They could steal and absorb other creatures' blood to enrich their own, but other than blood, food, and many other things could be used as a catalyst to create more blood. This would increase options.
This technique would be poorer and better with the blood that was created by the person himself, and they could further advance in it if they cultivated with their powers.
It was tested and perfected by the creator, excluding special circumstances where there were natural blood sources and so on, taking from other creatures should be done cautiously and with extreme care as to not lose yourself and your blood purity.
Heart veins establishment was only the initial phase. The beginning of the blood creation in the heart vein was paramount. If a person could not increase blood in the heart vein, it would mean the resources were wasted.
When the creator tried to find the inheritor, he couldn't do so no matter what, that's why after countless trials and errors he found a way to pass down the technique himself but unfortunately before he could do so, he perished, this options later were inherited by this creature and now for the first time in countless years 'Blood As Universe' was bestowed to hundred people no less.
In another month, Morgols managed the increase their blood volume to a hundred liters. It was stored in a heart vein that created as much space as possible for the blood.
Looking at their progress. The creature was satisfied. Now he could use the naturally accumulated resources from blood red island and allow their blood capacity to increase to thousand liters, which would mean that they would reach the bloody realm's initial first stage.
The bloody world was divided into four parts initial, intermediate, advanced, ultimate.
Reaching the first stage was the easy part because it only required blood creation and storage, nothing more. A person would not get any benefit directly other than knowing that he had 1000 liters of blood in his body, stored in a massive vein, that was also easy to fill and knowing it existed inside their hearts.
After two months, nothing changed for Maria except she was three months old pregnant and slightly bulging stomach.
After these two months, the creature shrank to 10 meters, and he looked a little bit less menacing with less bloody patterns.
"In these two months, you all accomplished something others could only dream of…"
It wanted to continue, but Mirian interrupted mid-sentence," I can feel that I am more powerful through basking in different lakes and ponds and also eating somehow unique blood fruits and plants, but I genuinely don't understand how does having so much blood be any good? If someone stabs me, would I bleed for years after dying?
The creature looked at Mirian and thought, I swear this kid is either stupid or annoys me on purpose." kid, you're at the first stage of the bloody world. You have a long way to go with the resources available on this island. You will understand and evolve. Don't be impatient. Everything will come, with time, the memories I transmitted will awaken, slowly you will realize what you can do."
"Finally, we can establish a blood contract that both sides will follow until eternity."
The creature's abysmal eyes flickered and released a blinding light that formed a massive altar around him and Morgols.
The altar had protruding beast skeletons thrown around, giving a special aura, blood dragon totems rose from the ground they interconnected above the Morgols. At the base of the totems, thrones appeared. There were precisely 99 of them for Morgols to sit.
At the center was a basin twenty meters wide, and in front, was the final throne, which was for Maria.
Looking at all the appearing peculiarities, Morgols were amazed but not shaken. They were already pretty convinced of the creature's sincerity. It needed to pass down the inheritance and attach himself to the supreme inheritor. It had no other choice if it wanted to leave the realm.
Morgols looked at each other, and seeing the leader nod, they all went to their respective thrones and sat down.
The dragon look-alike creature extended its several claws and gestured, ninety-nine slithering protrusions formed on each throne and extended to the back of Morgols, gently piercing their skin and reaching into the bloodstream straight to the heart, from where it started to suck blood which was allowed by the recipients themselves.
Maria sat on the last throne before the creature it soon was connected to the invisible nodes, and its body began to emit incredibly bloody light, mixed with blood mist vaporizing from its opened wounds.
After some incoherent words, the creature began to shrink extremely quickly until it was no longer visible to the Morgols. With its miniature size, it reached Maria's stomach and pierced itself towards the fetus, establishing a connection with it, soon bloody cocoon formed around Maria, which grew in size then shrank again. This process was repeated several times until all the blood provided by the Morgols was sacrificed to some unknown law that bound the creature.
Through the acute senses, Morgols felt the creature's presence disappearing from the island as if he never existed here.
There was only slight pain for the Morgols but giving blood didn't appear that difficult, and the loss would soon recoup itself.
There was no heavenly phenomenon around them or anything alike, even though things looked dangerous, everything went smoothly.
In just two days, Maria was freed from the cocoon and looked the same. There was no difference, except she felt some connection towards the island.
She could now feel that the realm they were in was too enormous. Just the blood sea was massive, around 200000km wide, with countless identical beasts living in it. The island was even bigger than they estimated, around 20000km wide. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a continent. Now it fully belonged to them Morgols, primarily her future child.
She could also feel the connection this place had with the earth. It was in a mysterious spatial node. The only way to enter was through Bermuda, and leaving was also through Bermuda.
Know she could leave with Morgols and return whenever she liked. Unfortunately, according to the creature, they could get out for a limited time, bring some inhabitants, and live a life hear until the child was born.
By the creature's warning, they knew the child wouldn't be born that fast.
Kristofer came towards Maria, caressed her tired face, and said:" how do you feel did that creature uphold his bargain."
"Yes, it's ok now I can control some of the island, but we have to operate cautiously and limit ourselves until our child is born. The creature also said that he would erase humanity's memory of us once we bring inside the people we want.
Kristofer didn't object. For Morgols this place was the most incredible living place where they could evolve and develop increasing their lifespans along the way. Also, this bloody world made them feel like home, a true home. Maybe it was because of the technique they cultivated.
Kristofer also already begun planning his next actions. He wanted to negotiate further and allow Morgols that would come to this place the ability to cultivate this technique.
Exactly a week later, with Maria's help, Morgols left this world and returned to earth with there constructed boats. The moment they appeared, Maria's forehead released extremely bright light that enveloped the entire planet. Every person that was marked by the Morgols was notified and would retain their memories if they wanted to follow. If not, their memory would be gone.
At first, the remaining Morgols were shocked, grief-stricken, and even more shocked, but after they received all the memories and digested them, they calmed down, some agreed to follow them back, some didn't, in total, 300 were fetched from different corners of the world in three months.
Morgols also brought and took everything they needed and returned to their new dwelling place. Humanity forgetting about their existence and deeds was painful, but nothing could be done about it the creature demanded humanity's memories about them be erased.
When everything calmed down, and Morgols organized everything, Vato came to Maria and said: "well, daughter, how long will it take for the child to be born? The creature said that it would take a long time for it to merge with the unborn, but how long 20-30 years?"
"I don't know father-in-law since our senses become sharper. I could feel my child's every activity but now I don't feel anything as if it's slumbering."
Vato narrowed his eyes and said: "Maria, are you sure the master-slave contract was established in full."
"Yes, don't worry about that. In that cocoon, I felt the creature's every action. The master-slave contract is legitimate, and out of both parties agreement, mine and his, there is no mistake, my son will not suffer."
"And look at this," Maria pointed towards her finger," this ring has appeared on my finger with a planet coiled by the dragon, doesn't it look like that creature? I can feel it's magical, but it's not connected to me, but the child. So everything going to be alright, we have to train anyway, reaching the ultimate stage of the first realm should be amazing."
Maria calmed everyone down, but little could Morgols imagine what it meant for this creature to attach to the unborn child.
If you want persons full cooperation thoroughly and comprehensively, you must tell them nine truths out of ten and then repeat this truth three times until they can't think straight and mix that lie in between. That way, no one will believe that there was a scheme somewhere.
That's what the creature did. It showed sincerity, lowered itself, and made them feel equal, and soon with his actions, earned their trust.
Then what was the goal of this creature? Since it had no other choice but to attach himself to the unborn and pass down the inheritance. Well, the creature had no name, but if the universe had an option to name it, it would be called 'Zagaroth,' the bringer of chaos and unrest, one of the evilest beings born in the vast, vast world.
This creature endured, suffered, took all the humiliation. It knew dealing with Morgols would be impossible, only cooperation and trust was necessary for success, and Zagaroth achieved what it wanted.
Now that he was inside the child, attached to it, it would start influencing the child to be born vengeful, evil, prone to destruction, calculative, ruthless, fearless, for the final goal, vengeance for his dead master "Demine" this was its purpose of existence.
Unfortunately, the creature miscalculated! What would happen when godly existence attaches itself to an unborn mortal, such a thing never happened in all history of the Universe, not with the same goal as these creatures, and the consequences it would bring would be unpredictable.
There is a fundamental law that affects all humans, and it would come to fruition," no human can be born evil or with a monstrous twisted soul! Every human upon birth and bestowment of a soul is neutral; only through life will it be determined is it evil or good."
From the year 1618 until the year 2013, the struggle between world laws and Zagaroth raged on. Even after all that time, the child was not born; all the Morgols were frustrated and shocked by the developments.
After 395 years, they all attained an ultimate stage of the first realm, and many even reached an intermediate or advanced stage of the second realm, seven leaders even reached the last stage until getting stopped by the bottleneck, but the island's resources were expended tremendously.
Just as Morgols were about to go insane, the child was born. Contrary to there worst expectations, the child looked completely normal, 2.8kg, beautiful for a newly born baby, a boy with black hair and pitch-black eyes. Maria didn't have any delivery problems either she was ok.
But the child that seemed quite normal for someone that couldn't see the light of day for centuries would be regarded as the greatest threat to the living so much that even 'Will Of Chaos' would have to interfere and find a solution to this existence.
