SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 714

Chapter 714: Are you an idiot?

The hall fell deathly silent. The emperor stared at the crown prince as if he were looking at a stranger wearing his son’s face. The disappointment in his eyes ran deeper than anger, deeper even than betrayal.

"...So that’s it," the emperor said quietly. "That is what you truly think."

The crown prince spread his hands slightly. "It’s the truth. The hidden orders were power. Real power. Not this fragile balance you clung to."

"If you had cooperated, if you had used them instead of fearing them, the Great Western Desert would already stand above the other empires. We could have owned the entire light faction. We could have been the rulers of this whole continent and not just this measly, dry, useless land."

"And what would it stand on?" the emperor asked. "Bones?"

The prince smiled thinly. "Every empire is built on bones. You just refused to admit it."

"I don’t see any point in continuing this conversation." Damon finally spoke up.

The crown prince’s gaze shifted to him, irritation flashing across his face. "This is a family matter."

Damon tilted his head. "You poisoned your sister. That makes it my matter."

"Shut up, bloodsucker. You will kneel in front of me. You will talk when I allow you to talk. And..." A cold glint appeared in the crown prince’s eyes. "Don’t use your uncouth tongue to utter my sister’s name ever again."

Damon blinked, staring at the crown prince. He then laughed. "Are you an idiot? You really don’t understand what kind of room you walked into?"

The crown prince sneered. "Surrounded by hundreds of peak C-rank experts? I understand it perfectly."

Damon took a single step forward. The pressure exploded. He then glanced sideways at Alzara and the Emperor. Both of them looked pained, but they gave him a nod nevertheless. Things had already come to this. There was simply no other outcome possible.

"I didn’t ask for permission to speak," Damon said calmly. "And I certainly didn’t ask for permission to stand." He raised his hand slightly.

Alzara sucked in a sharp breath. She had seen Damon fight before. Her heart raced as this time he would be fighting against her own brother.

The Emperor standing beside her laughed bitterly. "My son... You are not wrong. In the end, I did end up making a deal with the devil. But the devil I chose is a lot different than the ones you chose."

The crown prince staggered and took a few steps back, unable to bear the immense pressure bearing down on him. Even that was not enough. The next instant, he was on the ground, kneeling.

The Emperor sighed. "What is the point in bringing all these people here? Don’t you know what happened to the other orders, son? You should have run away the moment you saw him. You could have at least saved your life. It is not your fault. It is my fault. This old man has neglected you time and again. I did not raise you right."

Before he could finish talking, a burst of blood red aura exploded, and there was blood everywhere. The air roared with the power of blood. Alzara placed her hand around her father as a blood barrier surrounded both of them, not letting even a single attack reach them.

However, beyond that barrier, all hell broke loose. Blood tendrils shot up from the ground, and blood weapons materialized out of thin air. An unholy blood storm erupted, completely wrecking that section of the royal palace.

Columns cracked and collapsed under the sheer pressure, marble exploding into dust as waves of crimson energy tore through everything in their path. Blood tendrils writhed like living beasts, snapping around bodies, crushing armor, ripping weapons from hands before impaling their owners with merciless precision.

The other C ranks tried to block the attacks with their own domains, but everything was swept away in the overwhelming tide of blood. Shield cracked, gravity fields collapsed, and elemental domains unraveled as if they had never existed.
