Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　The auction was able to continue as the middle-aged man who had disrupted it became a cold corpse lying on the ground.

　Despite the Moth of Flame's messengers presenting UN resolutions and Mu Continent's ban in an attempt to stop the auction, the wealthy and powerful involved in the auction, tempted by the prospect of becoming vampires and having long lifespans, still eagerly participated in the bidding and competed fiercely.

　In this situation, the remaining nine [Vampire Transformation Daggers] were all sold for exorbitant prices.

　In cash alone, Moros amassed over 100 billion Mu Continent currency through this auction.

　And this is only a small portion of the profits he gained from this auction.

　Even more substantial profits came from the industries and mines around the world that he successfully acquired after the auction.

　These industries and mines not only provided Moros with a continuous stream of wealth, but also provided him with abundant resources needed for market transformation.

　In Moros's Eye

　In this context, the importance of these resources far outweighs that of currencies that will eventually become worthless.

　He has never forgotten how bleak the future is for the era he now lives in.

　When the final meteor falls, those currencies that circulate solely on the credit of the state will completely lose their value.

　Only the resources sent into the demiplane are the wealth he can truly store for the long term.

　Moros, the necromancer who had demonstrated destructive power comparable to nuclear weapons on the battlefield of New Co City, was naturally able to disregard the United Nations resolution and the official authority of the Mu Continent.

　However, those nobles who had just transformed into low-level vampires through the [Vampire Transformation Dagger] could not act as recklessly as Moros.

　Having gained the youthful vitality and long lifespan they once dreamed of, these newly minted vampires now have to face the accountability of the Mu Continent authorities.

　As for the United Nations?

　When faced with internal affairs involving the world's most powerful nation, the United Nations can only issue empty condemnations, with virtually no real action.

　If even the United Nations is like this, then the moths drawn to the flame are even more likely to react.

　This is no longer the period after the Third Collapse when the Moths' power expanded to unprecedented levels; the Moths are now merely an international organization under the United Nations.

　Although it is already the most powerful international organization under the United Nations, the members of the Firemoth Council still need to be cautious in their words and actions when it comes to the internal affairs of the Mu Continent.

　Even so, the powerful figures in Fuyuan City will not have an easy time facing accountability from within the Mu Continent regime.

　Only ten Vampire Transformation Daggers were sold at this auction, meaning that only ten powerful individuals were able to transform into vampires.

　If many of the powerful figures on the Mu Continent hadn't foreseen that they might also need to undergo this transformation from humans to vampires in the future, these newly minted vampire nobles wouldn't even have had the opportunity to speak with the envoys of the Mu Continent.

　"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

　An angry roar echoed through a luxurious manor somewhere on the Mu Continent.

　A tycoon heir swept his arms, knocking everything off his desk.

　He paid no heed to the crisp sound of the expensive ornaments breaking, and vented his anger wildly.

　This middle-aged chaebol heir thought he had finally made it to the point where his father was about to pass away and he could smoothly take over the family's power.

　But now, everything has vanished.

　"A useless United Nations! Incompetent moths chasing the flame!"

　His voice was filled with frenzy and despair.

　"I clearly put everything out in the open, how could they be so incompetent as to watch my father turn into a vampire!"

　Clearly, his father was one of the ten nobles who were transformed into low-ranking vampires.

　This chaebol heir knew very well that, given his father's methods, his previous whistleblower letter would definitely be uncovered.

　By that time...

　The tycoon's heir shuddered at the thought of his father's methods of dealing with traitors.

　"Damn it! At this point, all I can do is..."

　His eyes widened, flashing with a frenzied fire, as if he wanted to burn the whole world to ashes.

　Suddenly, he turned around abruptly and gave an order to his trusted confidant standing to the side.

　"Norman, get ready for a live stream on all platforms!"

　"Little Lord?"

　Norman hesitated; he had never seen his young master so crazy and resolute.

　"Do it!"

　The chaebol heir shouted sternly, his voice revealing an unwavering determination.

　He knew that only by revealing everything would he have a chance of survival.

　No, when that time comes, I will become a hero to humanity!

　Supported by this belief, he let out a gloomy and manic laugh.

　"Knock down!"

　A crisp knock on the door broke the conversation in the conference room, and the newly minted vampire, who was having important talks with the official envoy from Mu Continent, frowned slightly.

　However, he also knew that interrupting the meeting at this crucial moment would be no small matter.

　Therefore, after apologizing to the messenger, the tycoon got up and left the meeting room.

　Standing outside the door was his confidant, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties dressed in a suit.

　"what's up?"

　"Master, something terrible has happened!"

　His confidant's tone was filled with tension and urgency as he handed over a tablet computer, the screen of which displayed a live stream.

　"Young Master, he... he's broadcasting live to the whole world!"

　"live streaming?"

　The newly minted vampire was a little stunned; he didn't immediately understand what his son was doing.

　But after taking the tablet and starting to watch his son's live stream, the newly minted vampire's face instantly darkened.

　In a live stream broadcast across all platforms to the world, his son, who once...

　His proud heir is now standing before the world's cameras, openly declaring that he has lost his human identity.

　"What makes humans human is their human body and soul!"

　During the live broadcast, the rebellious son's voice was firm and impassioned.

　"If someone, whether in body or soul, no longer belongs to humanity, then he is no longer human!"

Chapter 99 Speech and Reaction

　"Please close your eyes and imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if those blood-feeding monsters stood above us, looking down on our world!"

　The voice of a tycoon heir named Herbert echoed in the live broadcast.

　"What fate will our society face when those in power are transformed into vampires?"

　He revealed all the research data on vampires he knew to the world without reservation, especially the horrifying scenes of the first batch of low-level vampires feeding on human blood.

　"We will be enslaved, with no chance of advancement. No matter how hard you try or how talented you are, you will always be trampled at the bottom, because those high positions have already been occupied by those monsters!"

　Herbert continued his impassioned speech, his voice firm and powerful.

　"I cannot, and will not, stand idly by and watch this happen. As a human being, as a person of conscience, I must stand up and fight for the future of humanity. I will expose the true face of those vampires and let the world see how they corrupt our society and enslave our fellow human beings!"

　As his speech progressed, the crimes of the ten powerful figures who had been transformed into vampires were revealed one by one.

　Those heinous crimes not only shattered the worldview of those watching the live stream, but also instilled in them a deep sense of disgust and anger towards the powerful and wealthy who had turned into vampires.

　"Today, I stand here not only for myself, but also for all those who still retain human dignity and conscience. We must unite as one to resist those monsters, protect our home, and safeguard our future!"

　Herbert portrayed himself as a tragic hero who betrayed his vampire father, who had become a non-human monster, for the greater good of humanity.

　In fact, Herbert did succeed.

　According to his livestream team, more than 1 million people had watched his speech before the livestream was interrupted, and comments on major livestream platforms were almost unanimously in support of Herbert.

　At this moment, global public opinion converged into a powerful force, putting immense pressure on those aging rulers who originally wanted to prolong their lives by becoming vampires.

　They had to publicly declare their support and enact legislation to ban the conversion into vampires in order to meet public expectations and demands.

　Herbert caused a huge stir around the world, but in Fuyuan City, the tycoon who had just turned into a vampire was so angry that he turned pale.

　"The traitor! The traitor!"

　He could certainly understand why Herbert did it, but understanding is not the same as accepting.

　For this newly minted vampire, Herbert's actions were undoubtedly a betrayal of himself and his entire family.

　Faced with the open rebellion of his heir, this vampire nobleman, while furious, also understood the gravity of the situation.

　If this situation is not addressed quickly, things will completely spiral out of control.

　At that point, let alone his current power and status, he might not even be able to protect his most basic human rights.

　As someone who once stood at the top of human society, he knew all too well the cruelty and ruthlessness of humanity.

　Once he loses his most basic human rights, he will probably, no, he will inevitably become a helpless experimental subject on the laboratory's dissection table.

　We have to find a way, or we're really doomed!

　With a silent cry, the newly minted vampire began calling his old friends.

　He knew that he could not stand firm in the surging tide of public opinion on his own.

　However, this newly minted vampire also understands that as long as he can win over these old friends, his current predicament is not insurmountable.

　After all, for these powerful and wealthy individuals who control vast resources, public opinion, though powerful, is still quite easy to manipulate.

　If all else fails, throwing out a few scapegoats to divert public attention is also a good option.

　Herbert's speech spread like wildfire across major video and live streaming platforms, generating widespread attention and enthusiastic responses.

　Meanwhile, in the central square of the city where Twilight Street is located, a magic show is quietly taking place.

　The beautiful girl with two-tone hair captivated the audience with her superb magic skills.

　However, this time, her performance did not become the focus of attention.

　Because Herbert's speech was being broadcast urgently on the large screen in the central square, attracting everyone's attention.

　"What makes humans human..."

　Herbert's powerful voice resonated throughout the square.

　The great magician, Velvet, blinked, his initial anger at the distracted audience gradually dissipating after listening to Herbert's speech.

　"Vampire?"

　She repeated the word, seemingly deep in thought.

　"Looks like I'll have to go check out Fuyuan City."

　A smile played on Wilvi's lips, her eyes gleaming with determination.

　Then, she began to methodically tidy up the magic equipment on the stage, each movement appearing calm and unhurried, as if she had practiced countless times.

　Clearly, this wasn't the first time she had evacuated quickly in an emergency.

　Vervi's personality dictates that she will not wait for permission from the local government in a conventional manner, but rather prefer to showcase her magical talent as she pleases.

　Therefore, being chased by police from various places has long been a common occurrence for her.

　With her superhuman abilities, Velvi has repeatedly escaped police pursuit and left her mark all over the world.

　So, while everyone was still reeling from Herbert's speech, Vilvi quietly left the central square and disappeared from sight.

　Mu Continent, the First Research Institute under the Fire-Chasing Moth.

　"Vampires? What an interesting life form."

　Mebius murmured to herself, her eyes fixed on the screen as she watched frame by frame the vampire-related data revealed by Herbert during the live stream.

　She gracefully rested her chin on one hand, her long, emerald-green hair cascading down like a waterfall, shimmering with a vibrant glow.

　His other hand was writing rapidly on the white paper, leaving behind a series of complex and difficult-to-understand formulas.

　Although Mebius had conducted in-depth research on mice with vengeful spirits, the existence of vampires still filled her with curiosity.

　She longs to uncover the secrets behind vampires and explore their connections and differences with vengeful spirits and humans.
