The next morning.Benjamin and Ulmer came out of the airport and took a taxi to the Helix company, a government organization which was funded for research on the human genome.“You think this place holds some secrets?” Benjamin asked Ulmer.“Yeah, I met the CEO of this company a month back during the science fair, and she gave off very bad vibes,” Ulmer replied. “I don’t know what she is yet, but I think we can start things from her. She might hold some information regarding what we’re looking for.”Benjamin knew that Ulmer was currently working as a teacher at a local school, even though he was also the emperor of Syslon, the city of systems, at the same time. “You seem to have realized that the images they show in books are all just theories.”Ulmer sighed. “Yeah. They give us the double helix for the DNA structure, but there’s no proof for that. Nobody really discovered its true shape because nobody has seen it. They say that our genome is like computer code, like an AI code which

Marilyn wanted to rip off Benjamin’s genitals, but Ulmer’s knee reached her cheek first. And Ulmer’s knee kick sent her flying into the wall. Her cheek and jaw bones cracked, but they were repairing fast.“Urgh…” Marilyn didn’t like how she was easily beaten. (I’m one of the few awakened blood suckers in the world! I can even see the fastest bullet in the world in slow motion, and yet I couldn’t see that bastard’s kick coming. These two men are definitely not ordinary. They are not vampires, but they are much stronger than I thought. But are they stronger than my master or not? That’s the big question.)“I can hear your thoughts very clearly,” Benjamin said. “We aren’t here to kill you trash now. Just give us the information we want, and we’ll let you live for now.”“Krgh,” Marilyn gritted her teeth. Normally, she would be the one who would toy with her prey, but now she felt she was on the receiving end of her enemies’ mercy.“Who is your master?” Ulmer asked her. “If you’re afraid to

Alexia was driving in her car. Benjamin and Ulmer were in the back.Alexia was looking at Ulmer through the mirror, making him feel a little uncomfortable.“What are you looking at?” Ulmer asked. “Do you want me to pluck both of your eyes out?”“I was just wondering why you have the ladies’ perfume on,” Alexia said.“It’s not for the reasons you might be thinking!” Ulmer quickly said. “I just don’t like strong scents, so I use my wife’s perfume since she likes the smell. It has a soft fragrance, so I don’t mind spraying some of it on myself. That’s all.”“That’s unfortunate,” Alexia said.“You are one sick pervert, Alex,” Ulmer further said. “Are you sure you don’t want to get treated in a mental hospital? Or do you want me to electrocute your brain and set the neuron pathways straight?”“My brain is working just fine,” Alexia retorted.“No, it’s not. You are wearing a mask and living a life full of lies,” Ulmer blurted. “And you say, everything is okay with you?”“I wasn’t born bad,”

“They went in without your, Lord Rakir,” Alexia poured blood wine in a glass and gave it to him. “Do you think they will ever get out? I mean, they are strong, but the labyrinth beneath this castle is so big that anybody can get lost in it.”Rakir smiled. “If that guy really gets out, then he’s capable of breaking this continent itself into pieces.”Alexia’s eyes widened. “H-He’s that strong?”“He’s not just strong, idiot,” Rakir sipped on the blood, and it helped ease his nerves. “He’s the strongest being on the earth that has a flesh form. In the long past, there were the sons and daughters of the fallen angels who were called the heroes of their times, and there were also giants who were thousands of meters tall. Maybe, they would have been as freakishly strong or even stronger than Benjamin. But even those heroes of the past were nothing in front of the great ones who were the ones who taught humanity everything, from how to make a weapon to how to put on makeup. Their knowledge a

“If you can’t do the one thing we want, then get out of our sight, you miserable thing,” Azazel’s words pierced Benjamin’s heart and soul deeper than any sword ever could. “And forget about your wife. She’s never going to remember you.”Benjamin suddenly loosened his fists and slowly kneeled and lowered his head onto the cold black rock before him. Closing his eyes, he prayed in his heart.“What are you doing?” Armaros snorted. “You think your voice will be heard just because you get on your knees and cry in your mind? That’s not how it works. Your voice will only be heard when its cry is strong enough to knock on the doors of heaven. Otherwise, He wouldn’t act.”Time passed.Seconds added into minutes.Minutes turned into hours and days. The fallen angels have mostly left, and only a handful of them were still at the table, chatting among themselves and not at all caring about Benjamin being there.Almost 40 hours later, Benjamin was still in the same position. His tears had made a th
