Chapter 1039 Fearless In The Face Of Death.

Ragnarok's existence is like someone stealing the Chaos spark from Aeternus and using it to evolve without swearing loyalty to him. It is absurd and should be impossible. The ability to evolve subordinates is under the domain of the Oath of the lord. The Oath is not a formality. It is a necessity for the subordinate to be compatible with the life essence of the Lord so that there won't be rejection.

A lord can't force someone to evolve with his energy or any other power from their life essence unless they swear that Oath. That means the demon god can't even give away its heart of Carnage for free without any attachments even if it wants to. If Ragnarok can bypass all of that, what's stopping him from killing Marlinto for good? 

"If you are right..." Drastoic started. Then he paused. He rephrased what he was about to say. "Since you are right, then Ragnarok is truly a threat to us. What if he refuses to ally with us?"

Origin gods can kill Monarchs so this is not the first time that a Primogenitor will die. Primogenitors are the properties of the demon god and part of its existence so even death can't liberate them as long as the demon god of Carnage still exists. But a death within the domain of an Origin god will kill them forever. 

But Ragnarok is not an origin god yet. He is still weak and he is running away from Marlinto. If he is allowed to grow stronger as an enemy of the Vampires, then Vampires will have nowhere to live in the plane. 

The demon god assured them. "There's nothing to worry about. He will come around when he sees reason."

A Primogenitor muttered in disbelief, "It turned out that Marlinto was wrong about Ragnarok not being a threat. It is just right that he is the one to suffer for the consequences of that underestimation."

The demon god was right. History is being made before them. They watched Ragnarok begin to turn the tide. It was very slow and it wasn't obvious at first. He is cutting a mountain with a knife after all. But he is surely making progress. That's what happens when you have a very sharp knife and the mountain is turning into sludge because of the sunrise.

The dark beam of devouring is very sharp. It was insignificant before when Marlinto could regenerate endlessly. It is now a serious problem for Marlinto since he doesn't have access to infinite blood power anymore. He has a finite amount of blood power. He was chipped down little by little as the Primogenitors watched. He struggled to defend himself but that only sped up his demise. 

It took hours for his mountainous body to be shaved down. It occurred layer by painful layer. Ragnarok engorged himself on Marlinto until the primogenitor became just a tiny red skull that couldn't defend itself. 

Ragnarok stepped on the skull with his paw. He looked down at the struggling skull with mirth in his eyes. Their situation has been reversed. He is now the colossal one while Marlinto has become tiny.

"How low you have become." He mocked.

Marlinto roared at him in defiance, "Just kill me. The pride of a Primogenitor will not be trampled on. I may be gone but the Supreme of Carnage remains forever. You will rue this day for the rest of your miserable life." 

"It seems you are not ignorant about your situation. I admire your pride. But it will really hurt you if I kill you." 

"What's a little pain? I have died numerous times before and I have always recovered to fight another day. The only difference today is that I will die for the last time." Marlinto insisted. "I can not be defeated even in death."

"Do not worry about being lonely in death. I will send more Primogenitors to you if I don't get my way."

"Then get on with it. You called yourself the bringer of death so go on and bring death to me. I Marlinto do not fear you."

The Primogenitors watching couldn't help but feel immense pride and anger as they watched. They didn't say anything to the helpless Marlinto. They all remained silent as he confronted death. 

Ragnarok replied. "You're fortunate that I didn't come solely for your death. I came to get safe passage out of the plane. I was hoping the demon god would be amendable to the deal. But I was wrong. I didn't have enough leverage to convince the demon god. I am sure I have enough now. Don't you think so too?"

Marlinto didn't answer. The silence made Ragnarok chuckle. "That's alright. You don't need to talk. I am sure the demon god is aware of everything happening now."

The empty sockets of the red skull he is trampling on began to glow red light. A familiar voice came out of the skull.

"Ragnarok, Ragnarok, Ragnarok. You have impressed me. I wish I could come down myself to say so."

"But you can't," Ragnarok said pointedly.

"No, I can't." It admitted.

The demon god is currently preoccupied with fighting off the effect of the sun. It can't take over Marlinto's body to fight. The connection between the Primogenitors and it is currently at its weakest because of the sun. The effect of the domain has strained it further. 

The demon god also pointed out. "But it seems you don't have any problem with the sun. How did you manage to maintain your strength in the day?"

"You know how."

"It pains me to say, but I am ignorant of how you pulled off that trick. If I knew how I wouldn't have asked. I certainly wouldn't have let Marlinto fight you to see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

Ragnarok sneered, "And if I wanted to tell you then I wouldn't have been so cryptic."

"I see." The demon god said without anger.
