"Haha, Hahahaha, HAHAHAHAHA!! Strong!" The count rested in the debris of the fallen building, his destroyed body already regenerated the second he crashed. Dozens of souls wailed for him to eat them.
His shadow spread forward slowly covering the whole building, 'It would be a waste...', slowly, the fallen building together with dozens of corpses, started to sink into his shadow.
His figure morphed slightly into that of the girl in a business outfit, "What a pain... Can't use my real identity to fight this woman here." With the huge commotion she was causing, it wouldn't be a surprise if the army came here within the next hour, every recording would be shown and his face would be there.
He waited patiently for the mysterious woman to make her move, she seemed fairly promising in her endeavour to kill him, back in his world the individuals he fought that were on her level could be counted with one hand.
Just as he was mumbling...
*BOOM!*
He furrowed his brows deeply as a shockwave spread from his shadow outwards, something was trying to come out...
'Master! Let me out!' A deep and mature female voice resounded within his mind for the first time.
'Hmph! I'm having fun here, wait until I finish with this woman, then you can come out.' He said with irritation to the 'statue' that he picked up before, except that she wasn't a statue anymore.
A rebellious Draculine, and now even a rebellious familiar?! The audacity.
A massive light shone with ominous energy from the sky and visualising it, he saw her charging a golden spear and throwing it directly at him!
*FIUSH!*
*BOOMMM!!!!*
All the people managed to see was a golden bolt of lightning before a big explosion enveloping the whole crumbled building resonated through the whole Zhonghai!
The golden spear went directly through his chest, phasing through his whole body and destroying it almost instantly!
However, it didn't do much to his shadow, except for some excessive pain due to the holy nature of the energy, he didn't feel much of a threat...
The world, however... Panicked due to the massive tremor!
His shadow-like goo continued devouring whatever dust was left, before it suddenly disappeared like it was never there, leaving a whole empty space, where a building was supposed to be...
The masked woman hovered in the air as her eyes contorted in irritation when she sensed someone coming this way.
She didn't have the slightest doubt, that Vlad Tepes had died… He must have died!
'What is he doing here…' Now of all times… She needed to leave this place as the commotion was simply too much, any more exposure and the treaty would be broken.
Now that she had killed that 'monster', those cultivator bastards would surely be on her tail for this destruction even if she didn't fully use her godly powers... She had attacked the mortals.
…
"I told you that you won't like me getting disappointed…" a cold and very menacing voice resounded behind her.
…
No… It can't be.
She can't believe it, it's impossible… It doesn't make sense!
She was compelled to turn around, turn around to his floating figure behind her! But something more horrible called for her attention.
"Useless..." Alucard's red eyes shone as he looked at her 'corpse', because that's what he saw, a cold corpse stubbornly floating in midair.
*CRUNCH!!*
The world seemed to stop as her golden eyes flickered frantically within her mask, not believing what was currently happening.
Her head turned robotically to the left and her golden eyelids couldn't help but open widely in fear…
There she witnessed it… rows upon rows of raw and sharp teeth, together with dozens of red eyes that looked at her with hunger and bloodthirstiness.
*SCRATCH!*
The demonic hound slowly retreated, making sure to cause her the biggest amount of pain possible as whatever flesh that joined her already forfeited arm to her body was mercilessly torn apart!
"AAAHHGGGG!!!!!" And the wails followed.
The panicking Zhonghai came to an abrupt stop under the wails of a pained female that resonated bringing only further anguish to the city that didn't even know what the hell was going on.
Many took their cameras and recorded gallantly, the others ran away not thinking anything else.
The Vampire King marvelled at the outrageous revelations her memories brought him as he licked his lips in glee, at how ridiculously delicious her blood was!
*FUA!*
"What a delicacy..."
Mysterious energy moved around his whole self, but it wasn't strong enough for him to perceive it or use it, however, there was no doubt.
Godhood, the sign of a superior species.
He decided to focus more on his memories, the blonde woman was currently like a bird trapped within his cage as fragments of her memories passed through his head.
...
The golden-haired woman's face contorted behind her mask as she glanced at the standstill Alucard, who mysteriously now looked like a girl.
'He can change his appearance... What a monster, I can't even detect he's the same person if we weren't fighting before. What to do...'
Fear… When had she ever felt fear!?
"So that was the reason… Retreat Baskerville." Alucard retreated his hound that was about to go for the whole body as the woman shrieked, trying to resist the pain, it wasn't only her missing arm, it was also the fear this demon caused.
'It doesn't make sense, just what is this creature!?' She couldn't believe this, she came to get rid of a nuisance in her plans and ended up encountering a creature from the depths of hell!
The two looked at each other, each one with their own mindset, there was no doubt they considered the other an incredible adversary, but the golden-haired woman clearly had the advantage.
"What are you going to do now, Athena~? Goddess of War and Wisdom..." He chuckled and revealed this knowledge.
'Four souls inside a single body… And a goddess on top of that… What a bargain!~' he thought inwardly as his senses told him about a person coming here quite fast!
Upon seeing who it was, his fun came to an abrupt stop as the darkness started to seep from every single one of his pores unconsciously, his ominous red eyes only growing more murderous.
Athena didn't even have time to feel surprised at her identity being exposed for no reason whatsoever... This man clearly didn't know who she was a second ago!
Yang Chen arrived in a nearby building and saw the two figures floating far away. Gritting his teeth, he released some of his godly powers and floated up.
The now identified goddess, Athena, gave him an irritated glance, she had to go now, but didn't know if this creature would attack Hades or not, she couldn't leave until she confirmed it! Or better yet, she has to take Hades out of here! They couldn't kill this creature!
"You know who I am, now tell me! W-What are you!?" She tried to make some chitchat but it would still be useful if she could get his identity, a threat like him needed to be eradicated!
She tried to move closer to Hades, this man couldn't die now, not when her plans were so close to fruition. While approaching Hades, an image came into her senses and she panicked!
Gritting her teeth she flew at high speed towards Hades! But she didn't make it!
...
There was no noise or movement. No nothing! No A to B!
Her shaking eyes witnessed how a deep black and thick lance with hundreds of eyes, came straight from the ground and protruded from his abdomen almost instantly! Effectively impaling the God!
'W-What!?' Yang Chen could only look down frantically and see how torrents of blood came out of the edges of the spear, signifying the undeniable!
When had he been stabbed!?
"AHHHHH!!!!" His howls of pain resounded shortly after!
Alucard's jaws showed themselves upon hearing his despaired howls, that's what he wanted to hear! Every time he impales someone, someone he wants to kill!
No one can stop him from killing who he wants to kill!
Hades' hands gripped the 'Lance' trying to get out of this situation someway, but he couldn't!
*BOOOMMM!!*
Majestic energy erupted from his body, signifying the use of his godly powers!
*BAANG!*
*BOOOM!*
He punched, stabbed and tried to destroy the 'lance' with all his strength as shockwaves spread through the air, but no matter how many times he destroyed it, it reformed the next second!
'What the hell!? How can this thing pierce my body so easily! What is this!?' Trying to not mind the pain and instead focus on how to get out of this life and death situation, Hades struggled ceaselessly like a rat inside a trap.
He rotated his cultivation and even his divine energy, any resource he had not caring if he was breaking the treaty! But he couldn't come out! Was this how he was going to die!?
"Hand over your shitty soul, Pluto!" Alucard's shadow spread further from the lance, trying to encapsulate Hades!
The latter could only feel more despair when his hands started to 'sink' into the 'lance'! Together with his body!
"AHHG!!!" Feeling his whole body getting swallowed by this 'goo', Hades howled in anguish.
The more he tried to leave, the more his body sank!
*SLASH!!!*
Without even giving him time to process what happened, a golden halberd split his body in half, leaving a bloody mess as Athena held his upper part and the lower one got swiftly swallowed into the 'lance'!
Not caring for anything else, she flew away as fast as she could to the north!
*BOOOMMM!!*
Leaving a sonic boom, Athena focused all her senses in the space around her, ready for any attack as she moved at ridiculous speeds!
She could only hope, that he was not going to follow them!
…
Alucard, who had been focusing on swallowing that bastard, furrowed his brows in irritation as his prey got taken from him… But he couldn't deny it, the blood of the gods was a delicacy.
More of that Godhood spread through his body, but still, it was limited, he hadn't extracted the bastard's soul...
If he used the spears now, at the speed she was moving, there was a lot of chance he would kill her too.
And he didn't want to kill 'her'…
Lifting his glove covered hand, a bloody pentagram shone in red light!
What a bargain, to think he would find this piece of shit here! Under his wicked red eyes, the darkness enveloped a region of Zhonghai!

Kunlun Mountains
In the middle of an antique temple where myriad flowers with various colours shone under the sunlight, three elderly figures sat cross-legged as if in meditation.
One of them opened his eyes slowly with a frown.
"Did you feel that, Venerable Su?" The elderly man in purple robes said, prompting the other two to open their eyes as well.
"Two Gods…" said the red robbed one to the left.
"And one of them has unsealed his powers, he's about to breach the treaty." Said the last one, the oldest of the three with white robes.
"We should research this matter privately, surely the clan elders already felt it." The red robbed elder proposed with a smile,
'Su Hengli, you felt those waves? I want you to go and research this matter, take Yanluo and Shenhui with you.' A deep and venerable voice resonated in the red robbed elderly man, making him frown deeply.
'Understood elder.' He answered back and gave the other two a look…
The other elderly men nodded and disappeared together with him in a flash, leaving this flowery field.

Lin Family Compound
"Are you looking at the news, Lin Zhiguo?" A deep voice revered from the phone of an unknown man in his sixties.
'Lin Zhiguo' sat in the front of a big television, behind him stood dozens of corps with black uniforms with yellow details and bandanas. Kevlar and guns.
'Breaking News: Natural disaster strikes Zhonghai.'
…
"It's bullshit, I already spoke with Hewei… I want your yellow brigade collecting intel on what is happening in Zhonghai, Zhiguo. The Gods are involved and I'm afraid I'll have to send Sanniang over. Hongmeng should be coming soon." The voice sounded at least fifty years older.
"What exactly is going on!?" Lin Zhiguo asked with apprehension, already taking out his communicator to relay orders, how could this happen out of nowhere?!
"We don't know. But a major spike of energy was detected and then as if an asteroid just fell in Zhonghai, all the seismograph around Shenzhen and Zhonghai rang crazily. There are people recording images of a woman floating in the sky in broad daylight together with a little girl, I'm afraid we won't be able to cover this properly, but our IT teams are already working on censoring those videos and images. Send your Yellow Bridge and give me intel, I need to know what's happening!"
"Also, don't have them engage the gods, they will be just Cannon fodder." He added to the end, in a fight between Gods, what could mortals like them possibly do?
"I understand Commander Yang." Having finished the call, Lin Zhiguo hung up and hurriedly took out his communicator.
"What's happening Leader?" A woman with silver hair and a mask asked from behind, still visualizing the news, 'natural disaster', they didn't even bother specifying what exactly happened...
"A catastrophe… Flower Rain, I want you and Dragon Team in Zhonghai right now. If you see two superhuman-like individuals fighting... Get the hell out of there, I just want you to get as much information from the perimeter as possible, cameras, recording, I want everything."
