Chapter 708: ’Enemy’ of Humanity.

Victor was at peace, as were the people under his influence.

But the same could not be said for the world.

Over 6 billion Humans died because of the Demon invasion, totaling almost 80% of the planet’s population.

The 8 billion Humans before were reduced to just 2 billion, an event marked as doomsday.

Not only the West but also the East suffered from this sudden onslaught.

Two world powers practically became extinct from one hour to another, and most of the countries in Europe and South Africa also disappeared.

North America and South America were in the same state; the small countries didn’t stand a chance against the bloodthirsty Demons.

Big countries like Brazil, the United States, Canada, England, etc. They suffered a tremendous economic impact due to the destruction and death of hundreds of thousands of people.

Even the countries protected by Pantheons that weren’t unavailable on the day of the invasion, like Japan, Egypt, and India, suffered severe losses due to their own Hell indirectly aiding the invaders.

Everyone suffered, this was a global near-mass extinction event, and many animals also died in this process.

The planet was thrown into literal Hell, and nothing in society worked, not even something as important as communication.

In the era of globalization, fast communication was vital. However, even if the satellites had not been destroyed, communication could still not reach all parts of the globe the same as before.

Only those countries that did not suffer so much infrastructure damage could communicate adequately.

Even though one year had passed since the event, it seemed as though time had not passed, and it would take at least two decades for everything to be organized again... That would be the case if it weren’t for their intervention...

Gods.

Though Pantheons such as the Greeks and Norse were experiencing severe internal problems, one having a civil war while the other had its means of transport blocked due to the Bifrost’s destruction, It was still possible for individual Gods to step out of their Pantheon and ’guide’ the people.

In the case of the Norse, there was Thor, The God of Thunder.

Through a Ritual of Runes made by Odin, the All-father managed to send his son down to Earth and help his people.

The same was the case for the Greeks. With the permission of Zeus, Apollo, the Sun God, considered the most beautiful God, came down to Earth and helped his people.

Why were they chosen? Thor was strong and recognized by Mortals, as was Apollo.

Not to mention that Apollo wasn’t as needed on Olympus now since the Titan of the Sun was allied with Zeus.

The presence of the Gods was like a ray of hope for all Mortals, and with their Supernatural Powers and strength, things were moving much faster.

Thanks to the literal presence of Gods on Earth, Humans once again had Faith in their ’respective’ Gods.

Society was being rebuilt, but it was obvious that society had regressed a few decades in technology, history, and culture on doomsday.

After all, several countries were practically wiped off the map, and all that was left was a large portion of land contaminated by Miasma, which the Angels were still cleaning.Angels were another debatable topic, as despite the presence of the Gods and the Faith that Humanity had come to have in their respective Gods, It was still a fact that Angels received most of the Faith from Humans.

The reason for this?

Angels were the Beings most committed to helping Humans. For example, despite the Vatican having been wiped off the map because of the Demon, Sitri, the Vatican’s secret organization, The Inquisition, was still alive and was now run by a literal Angel.

A revolution was occurring in the Abrahamic Faiths with the presence of Angels; curiosity was normal for Humans who had never met these Beings in person before.

Because of this, when Humans began asking Angels about their God, and their role as God’s executioner, they didn’t expect the Angels to respond.

And when the Angels answered those questions, chaos began to ensue. The Humans made sure to record every word spoken by the Angels, and they treated it as gospel.

Despite having Faith before, they never felt as close to God as they did now. After all, his greatest servants were walking alongside them.

Knowing that it was inevitable that this would happen, the Angels assigned a job to a Seraphim to administer and supervise what was being written by Humans.

They weren’t suspicious of their Human subordinates; they just knew Humanity too well. They knew they might twist their Creator’s words if they left something as important as this to the Humans.

As in the past, the Heavenly Father and his son Jesus taught much about love and forgiveness.

And what did Humans do?

Holy wars, persecution of other peoples like women that they claimed to be ’Witches’, or even men and women who were discovering about science in the past and ended up burned at the stake.

Not to mention the abuse of the innocent and most vulnerable by the Church’s authority figures.

History did not lie, and all this was recorded in the books.

Atrocities were committed in the name of their Father and Creator, and this was something the Angels would not allow a second time. Now that they were given free will to act in the world of Humans, they would strictly supervise and even punish those who did horrible acts in the name of their ’God’.

The Inquisition was blossoming into a truly good organization that fought for all those weak and innocent.

They didn’t just protect Humans but all those who deserved to be protected regardless of Race: Vampires, Werewolves, Oni, Witches, and Spirits.

The Inquisition’s anti-discrimination policy was a strict rule, and those who were prejudiced against Non-Humans could not integrate or be part of the Inquisition. This rule even applied to Angels.

The Heavenly Father was actively moving, and at his command, he was making significant changes in the organization that represented him.

He still believed in free will and that he shouldn’t interfere too much, but he would no longer stand by while atrocities took place in his own backyard.

The Inquisition was becoming what it was meant to be from the start, the shield for the most vulnerable and the Spear against those looking to exploit the vulnerable.

Similar things were happening in India, Egypt, and Japan.

Local Gods were more revered in these countries than what the rest of the globe was doing with the Angles and Heavenly Father.

Part of the reason for this is that Angels didn’t go to these countries due to the respective Pantheons of these countries.

The barrier between the Supernatural and the ’Normal World’ had been broken.

Everyone now knew that the Myths and stories they told about Gods and Creatures in Mythologies had a grain of truth in writing.

This also meant that not just Demons were a threat, but other elusive monsters like Werewolves, Vampires, Youkai, Ogres, Dragons, etc.For those Humans who were already involved in the Supernatural World, this was not something new, but for the common population, it was terrifying, and it was because of this that these people became so attached to their Gods.

After all, in their minds, the Gods were the ’good guys’, and everything else was the ’bad guys’.

But those were just those Humans who followed the herd mentality, which was a more significant portion of the current population, than those more independent people with more critical views.

They clearly perceived that these sentient Supernatural Beings were not very different from them in the sense that they could feel emotion, lie, deceive, etc.

And for those intelligent people, an even worse sense of fear and insecurity was instilled in their hearts.

After all, what could an ordinary human do in the face of the strength of any of these Mythological Beings?

Slowly and steadily, society in the Mortal World was changing to the laws of the Supernatural World; Might makes Right.

...Well, it’s not like nothing has changed compared to the past.

The only change was that it wasn’t just wealth, connections, and influence that dictated equal power in the past.

It was personal strength, group strength, and the influence of these Mythological Beings on what was now known as the international community of Supernatural Beings.

The game just got more straightforward and much more dangerous. If before they were playing normal mode, they now went straight to Hardcore mode.

And only those who adapted to this change would reap the best rewards.

No one in the Supernatural World knew exactly what Diablo’s plan was, but everyone knew one thing, that Demon changed the world, and through his actions, a New Era was ushered in.

For those who entered the Supernatural World and learned of the history of ’doomsday’, Diablo would be a name that would never be forgotten, he marked the world with his infamy, and his name would be recorded in the annals of the New Age.

...Just like the individual who defeated him.

Victor Alucard, the King of Hell, and the one who destroyed the great ’Evil’.action

His existence aroused complicated emotions in everyone who learned about him.

He was a Hero, someone who defeated a threat...

But at the same time, everyone feared him as a possible ’cause’ of another extinction event.

Be they Humans, or even Gods, they all had apprehension and fear toward this Being. Those who didn’t know about Victor became even more apprehensive when they learned that it wasn’t long ago that he appeared in the Supernatural World and that he was a Progenitor of Vampires.

Even though a lot of time had passed, no one had forgotten the feeling of fear, despair, and helplessness when they felt his aura.

And thanks to that fear, a name was whispered among the masses, a name that went along with all the characteristics of this individual, creating a new Title of Infamy.

Victor Alucard, The God of Blood, War, Fear, Despair, Murder, Strength, and Destruction.

Despite being a Mortal, he was declared a God and feared as an Evil God.

Although he didn’t commit as many atrocities as Diablo, he was more feared than Diablo himself, and the world saw him as the ’Ultimate Evil".

Humanity wanted someone to give hope, and the one who defeated Diablo should be able to do that, but unfortunately, his actions were too ’Evil’, and he was the New King of Demons who caused chaos in the world.

If they couldn’t have a Hero to give them hope in these dark times, They could have an enemy.

Victor Alucard b茅came that common enemy.

As the saying goes: Either you died a Hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Villain.
