Secret World: I Became a God Through Lies

Chapter 48: The God-killing Gamble
The air in the hall seemed to freeze.

The blood mist has not yet dissipated, the murderous intent still exists, but the battle has come to a standstill in some deeper struggle.

The Duke's blood spear was still pointing at the twin girls in mid-air, but he did not continue to attack. Instead, he showed a smile of confidence in victory.

The twin princesses, they have never been so angry, nor have they ever been so uneasy.

The feeling of being bound and suppressed by the laws of the world...it was the first time they felt fear.

They looked down at the earth, their cold blood-red eyes fixed on the Duke, trying to find flaws in his eyes.
But what greeted them were a pair of eyes that had seen through everything.

The Duke smiled softly, his voice low and slow, as if reciting a dirge dedicated to the gods.

"Do you really think this bloody feast is prepared for you?"

"A thousand years of planning, my Lord...what do you think I'm doing?"

His voice was lightly teasing, and the calmness in his tone despite facing a powerful enemy only made Twin Princess even angrier.

"What are you talking about?" The twin girls' voices overlapped and intertwined. They could feel that their existence was rejected by the world.
It was a force that could not be defied, as if the world itself was expelling them.

The Duke narrowed his eyes and slowly raised his scarlet spear, pointing the tip of the spear at the Blood Feast Formation under his feet.

"My Lord, you never cared about the identity of your advent."

"Every time you descend, you simply greedily suck the true blood and enjoy the offerings of the world, but you never once consider—what exactly is your place in this world?"

The twin girls' pupils suddenly contracted, and they finally realized that something was wrong.

The Duke's smile deepened, and his voice was melodious and sarcastic:
"You have been dominated by the fear you created, obsessed with the fantasy of vampire supremacy, but have forgotten that this world is not your eternal night, but my kingdom."

Siming, who was standing aside, smiled slightly and added slowly:
"So... during these millennia when your pride blinded your vision, the Duke has been recording your identities at every Blood Feast."

"He has been waiting, waiting for the day when you will be born, to obtain the most perfect identity."

"A status that could get you deported."

Twin Princess's expression finally changed.

The invisible laws of the world are forcibly distorting their existence.

They looked down at themselves, and the identities bestowed by the rules emerged in the blood mist. It was a solidified inscription, and this time, they finally saw it clearly.

——[Guests attending the banquet].

A strong feeling of suffocation swept over the twins, their souls began to turmoil, and they finally realized that they were being suppressed by the world.

They are guests, not hosts.

They can enjoy the blood feast, but they have no right to decide the rules of the feast.

The world has made its choice, and their choices... are only two.

Or, accept this identity, follow the wishes of the host of the banquet, and passively accept the Duke's expulsion.

Or, reject this identity, become an existence that does not conform to the rules, and be completely abandoned by the laws of the world.

The Duke's plan completely cut off their retreat.

The twin princesses' faces were distorted in the blood mist, and their eyes revealed uncontrollable anger and fear.

"Guests...?" they murmured, their expressions changing from shock to ferociousness.

"We are the ancestors of the vampire race, how can we be guests!?"

They suddenly raised their hands, and the blood vines rioted, trying to tear the Duke into pieces, but this time, the blood vines failed to stretch and quickly collapsed, turning into wisps of invisible dust and being swallowed by the world!
They... couldn't continue their attack.

Unable to resist.

They are sanctioned by the world!
"Absurd...absurd!" The twin princesses' anger almost shook the heaven and earth. They wanted to unleash their divine power, but were restrained by some higher rules!

Their existence is being stripped away, their power is being weakened, and everything they once possessed has now become shackles that bind them!

Dellat smiled slightly, raised the scarlet blood spear, and pointed the tip of the spear at their hearts.

"Guests at a banquet should follow the rules of a guest."

"And you have already disobeyed the master's wishes."

"So be banished from the world!"

The rules of the world have finally arrived.

The blood mist was turbulent, and the figures of the twin princesses were twisted and distorted in it. They struggled to break free from this invisible bondage, but found that their existence was being stripped away by the world bit by bit.

Their outlines gradually became illusory, like mist broken by the wind, clearly within reach, but dissipating into nothingness.

They finally realized that the world was completely expelling them! Their whispers intertwined into frantic roars, shaking the air, filled with resentment and anger: "No... I am a god! We cannot be expelled!"

The blood-colored vines grew wildly, trying to tear open the shackles of these rules. However, this time, no matter how hard they struggled, they still couldn't break free.

The world has made its judgment, and their identities have been rejected.

They certainly know that if they are expelled, it will not only be a failure,
Instead, they will suffer the same fate every time they come to this world in the future - the laws of the world will continue to reject them and suppress them until they have no place to stay.

This is not a simple failure, but a blasphemy against their divine authority!

They looked down at the earth, the madness of destroying everything burning deep in their blood-red pupils, and in the blood mist, their sight finally fixed on one person - Sima Ming.

This foreigner...

This guy, who was just a chess player at the gambling table at the beginning...

It was he who disrupted the rules of the Blood Feast step by step, it was he who wove an unpredictable ending, and it was he who changed the world's attitude towards them!

A hideous smile slowly appeared on the corners of their mouths. It was a madness beyond anger, a vow that engraved revenge on their souls.

"you……!"

They slowly raised their hands and pointed at Siming.

The next moment, a twisted blood-red rune slowly emerged in their palms. It was the power of the True Ancestor and the last mark they could leave behind.

"Even if we are driven out... we will leave our mark."

"Your blood will be what we crave until the return of eternal night!"

Siming felt a sharp pain in his wrist. His pupils shrank slightly. He looked down and saw a dark red mark slowly emerging.
Like a curse deeply etched into the flesh, it emitted an eerie bloody light.

The twin princesses' laughter echoed in the air, their voices overlapping, as if announcing a long and endless hunt.

"This seal is called 'Eternal Hunger'."

"Whoever I target will never be free from my desire."

"You can escape as much as you want."

"But sooner or later, we will come again, and then-"

"I will drink all your blood."

Siming's eyes darkened slightly. He could feel the strangeness of this mark. It was not an ordinary mysterious mark, but some kind of higher-level rule binding, with god-level suppression.

This is not an ordinary curse, but... a real hunt!

The next moment, the laws of the world completely deprived the twin princesses of their existence. Their blood mist was torn apart by an invisible force, and their divine bodies collapsed, shattered, and dissipated - in the end, they were completely expelled!
The true ancestor of the blood clan was defeated.

The shadow of darkness gradually dissipated, and the blood-colored altar slowly collapsed with the return of the world's rules. The terrifying pressure that once permeated the entire Eternal Night Blood Castle completely dissipated with the departure of the Twin Princesses.

The battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

The battle of the vampires also stagnated with the disappearance of the gods. They stared blankly at the sky, as if they still couldn't believe that their gods... were actually expelled from this world.

The Duke slowly put down his spear, and the murderous aura in his body gradually subsided. He raised his head, looked up at the night sky, and took a deep breath.

Hundreds of years of planning have finally come to an end.

He was no longer the "Bloody Night Tyrant" of the Twin Princesses, no longer their hound, but the true king of this land.

The future of the vampires will no longer be controlled by the gods, but... will be decided by him.

But Sima Ming, who was standing aside, did not look relaxed.

He looked down at the bloody mark on his wrist with a gloomy expression.

"…I've gotten into serious trouble again."

His voice was low and contained a hint of helplessness.

The laws of the world can drive out gods, but the will of gods can still transcend the barriers of the world.

The twin princesses may never come to this world again, but their curse has been engraved in his blood, becoming an inescapable mark.

He knew very well that this gamble... was not over yet.

The vampires ushered in a new order, and he was chosen by the twin princesses as the future "prey".

In this god-killing gamble, the end is just a new beginning.

The shadow of darkness is still brewing in the depths, and the thirst for blood will never end...
