Chapter 1063 A Dilemma For Solution.

The two calamities on the Origin gods reduced their numbers in the plane significantly and helped the Vampires to establish themselves quickly. The Vampires prospered in the absence of the ghouls after weakening the resistance of the plane, but they might need the Origin gods now.

On one hand, they could kill one Origin god to help Emperiti advance. On the other hand, they need the help of the Origin gods, and killing them while asking for help is unlikely to help them gain the support of the Origin gods.

The circumstances created a dilemma. They can help Emperiti, but if it doesn't work, then they will not have any chance with the Origin gods. It is a serious decision to make considering that the Origin gods will certainly be able to seal the ghouls if they choose to help and hunting Origin gods is not easy at all.

The decision was put up for a vote by the entire Primogenitor Council. The outcome disappointed both Emperiti and Danah because the Primogenitors decided to wait and see first. They will help her become a Monarch if the Origin gods refuse to assist them in sealing the ghouls.

Danah was furious. "We shouldn't wait and see at all. We should grab every opportunity we have right now before the ghouls become too much to deal with."

The assistant interrupted again. "We have a problem." He said anxiously.

Danah started to say, "No problem can be greater than the Ghouls. I don't care about anything else right..."

The assistant didn't let her finish. "We are under attack. Someone is breaching the defenses."

Danah roared in anger, "Someone dares to attack my territory? Have I fallen so low or have people become so desperate as to ignore my power?"

"No. People have been attacking earlier but I didn't mention it because their attacks were useless. This time, someone strong is actually breaking through the defenses."

That surprised Danah. She thought she was being insulted earlier because people were attacking her defenses. Such an action is understandable and expected. People will do desperate things when their life is on the line. They would rather disrespect her and worry about the consequences later if it will save their lives. She was just creating a fuss when she roared. She didn't intend to do anything about it. But things are clearly different if someone is actually breaching her defenses.

As a Primogenitor who is also a monarch, her territory is very secure. The entire space is encapsulated in Origin artifacts. It is a sealed bubble that belongs to her. Anyone can attack the defenses. But not anyone can breach them.

Her defenses need a power level of at least Origin god or Monarch for them to be breached. That means an Origin god or another Monarch is attacking her.

She thought to herself excitedly. "It is unlikely to be a Monarch since they are all running for their lives. If it is an Origin god, then it will be good news. We might be able to use it to help Emperiti advance. It seems good things are finally beginning to happen."

She prepared herself for battle. Then she asked with a steely gaze. "Who is it that is breaching my territory?"

Danah also swept her eye of life through the walls of her territory and saw the culprit. Her eyes widened then.

The assistant all but yelled in terror. "It is Ragnarok."

Danah deflated immediately. Her previous anger is nowhere to be seen. She would have taken any other type of Origin-level threat apart from Ragnarok. There is a chance that she can reason with others. But it is certain that Ragnarok is after her life.

The event of Marlinto's death solidified the enmity between Ragnarok and Vampires. They were already at each other's throats then and he didn't need to release the ghouls to solidify that hatred.

"So it is not enough that he would unleash the Ghouls on us. He is even helping them." Danah said in anger.

"What do we do?" The terrified assistant asked.

The assistant is very terrified. After all, Ragnarok, the Primogenitor killer, is knocking on their door. 

Danah sighed. In this situation where Ghouls are running amok, a breach in her defenses is a bad thing. It is a very bad thing. But there's nothing she can do to stop it. She was just making a fuss earlier because she wasn't willing to leave her territory to remove the people attacking her defenses.

In fact, she is not willing to leave the center of her territory for anything. To move closer to the walls at all is to make herself closer to the Ghouls. The walls will become useless once she enters their detection range.

So she can't do anything to stop Ragnarok. That will be risking her life. And sitting here is not good either. That is just waiting for death. All the Vampires outside her territory will feed the ghouls until they are strong enough to warp straight to her at the center of her territory from outside of it.

She sighed and thought to herself in pity, "He had to come just when salvation was on the horizon."

She couldn't help but remember what Ragnarok called himself. He had said, "I am the answer to your prayers. I am what you have been asking for. I am the messenger of death, the champion of Carnage, and the son of the devourer. I am all you have ever wanted in your savior and more."

What he said were all lies apart from the part of him being the son of the devourer and the messenger of death. He is no champion of Carnage and he is not the savior of Vampires. They didn't want this crazy and rabid mutt bent on killing all of them.

She announced to everyone with a tone of finality. "I am leaving."

She is already standing up from her throne.

"What do you mean?" Her assistant asked in surprise and fear. It felt like the world was coming down around him.
