Chapter 316: I'm Really Not Into Genocide...

-----

Benladann came out with a smart question to our new Blood Ghost servant, and she answered thoroughly with something that left us a bit shocked.

"Why yes! My prideful race spreads across most of the continent, my Tyrannical Lady's faction has near a hundred of us, many of them even stronger than me by far! All of them are controlling other Sects in the shadows, or influencing them somehow… And well, some others might be moving towards here right now! Who knows?" she wondered.

"I feel like we should have asked this before…" I sighed.

This means trouble, isn't it? With Ruby at our side, we'll have these Vampires chasing us down all the time. And even more, we'll probably meet them everywhere there is a big sect around.

They seem to be big dogs of the underworld, this sect alone was probably lucky to not have them yet, most likely because it is too far from their territory, but those that are more down the massive river that crosses the entire continent of Jotunheim might have all sorts of Vampiric fellows wandering around.

Ice Queen slaughtered so many of them, yet there are still many of them lurking around like vicious cockroaches that won't die no matter how many times you crush them.

I… I am not into all the genocide though, and I believe that if she could have handled things better, she could have instead allied with the Vampires and force them to make many Oaths of peace with every race using her power. And then, she could have rebuilt the world using them as helpers and incorporate them into the societies as just another race of the world.

But of course, the vengeful hate she held in her soul after her family was killed by them probably led her to slaughter them simply and ruthlessly en masse.

If more like Ruby existed back, then… wouldn't she had killed even children?

I mean, I am all for blaming the actual perpetrators and the ones behind the crimes they committed. But I am pretty sure that babies that were just born as Vampires had nothing to do with this, yet she probably killed millions of children along the way.

After all, the Vampires were taking over the entire world, and if pure vampire children can be born between Vampires just fine, it wasn't hard to imagine that children could have been slaughtered in masse as she purged them out of existence.

There were certainly a lot of conflicts. And both sides kind of had their own way of living and fighting in this world. And both had also the right to survive. If I think it more deeply, perhaps she was also being pressured as the Venerable. She had to quickly save the world that had been left in complete chaos by the previous Venerable.

The other races were almost about to go extinct after all, it was a massive apocalypse and the hatred that all races hold against Vampires is justified when you think how much damage they did to everyone in the past. It makes me wonder if genocide is justified when it is for the greater good…

Ugh, of course not! This is not Attack on Titan, for fuck's sake. She should have really been a bit better at handling this crap. Perhaps she saved the world and killed 99% of all Vampires, leaving the other races finally prosper and populate the world once more, but she also left some of them that she didn't manage to kill in all this time, those began to multiply more and more as she died, and now we got a big community of Vampires living in the shadows and manipulating sects as they please while playing with the lives of others.

And they're all most likely filled with hatred and vengefulness against all other races, and mostly, ice giants, because the Ice Queen is an Ice Giant!

Ice Queen, seriously, you did a lot of good things, but you barely made the world stable. I suppose every Venerable always leaves a trail behind them, of what they did good and well, their mistakes too.

Both sides cannot easily forgive each other's mistakes, and now Vampires are even more monstrous than ever before and doing as they please to all the sects while in the shadows… I cannot help but arrogantly believe there could have been a better way to do this…

But who am I compared to her? Nothing, really.

If I ever want to say this out loud and ever voice my opinion to the remnants of the Venerables, which might exist around the world just like the Fox Venerable does, then I will have to become a Rank 10 myself.

But that… seems pretty far from now.

As of now, I would like to just… ugh, let's relax.

"I see… Well, let's discuss this later, I don't want to bother you anymore with this stuff. Go rest, for now, Rose." I sighed. Somehow, despite how bloodthirsty this woman was, I felt some pity for her.

"Thank you, my lord." She said, as she suddenly dived inside of my shadows. I guess she can just do that.

"For now, let's go check the Sect Master, been a few hours since he went to take a nap." Said Benladann.

We quickly moved towards the sect master's room, as we found him awaken, he was sitting over the bed, and his presence emanated dark and shadow from within.

"T-This power… I had never wielded this element before…" he muttered as he glared at us.

"Well, well, well, looks like our experiment went perfectly," I said.

"Indeed! He had really adapted to the element… And it was just a monster mana core… If we can perfect this treatment, we might find a way to enhance a person by implanting them more mana cores into their bodies…" said Benladann.

"Or just outright replace them, but perhaps he survived because he's strong, a weak person might collapse and die…" I said.

"Oh, indeed… We'll have to look that up too." Said Benladann.

"Stop ignoring me!" cried the sect master.
